Given a Drubbing

The Washburn High School
basket ball team met defeat at
the hands of the Ashland High
School team in a game played
at the Opera House in this city
last Friday evening. The local
boys were outplayed at every
stage of the game, the Ashland
boys making baskets at will.
The score was so to IA at the
end of the second half.
The Washburn quintet lacked
team work and did not play well
together. They also had diff
Guilty in making baskets. The
management expects to round
the team into shape before many
more games are played and
they expect to make a much
better showing before the END
of the season.

Figures Taken From Official
Records. Many Not
Reported.

The "stork" has been victori-
GUS over grim reaper" in Bay
field county during the past year.
This is shown by the records on
file at the office of Register of
Deeds Nels Myhre. The number
of births is more than double the
number of deaths.
During the year just closed,
according to the official figures,
there has been 96 deaths in the
county as compared with 223
births. From these figures it
would appear that not all deaths
or births have been reported
although the law provides that
this must be done.
During 1913 there were SO
deaths reported. If the figures
in the office of the Register of
Deeds are to be taken as a basis
the death rate in Bayfield, county
has been exceedingly low during
the past two years, being a trif1e
over one half of one per cent.

The Kenfeld-Lamoreaux COM
pany is one Of the few concerns

ing the business depression of the
past six months, but on theEcon-
trary the prospects for future
business for this company are
very bright. They are operating
their three plants, located at
Washburn, Bemidji and Cass

Day to be Observed Through.
out Wisconsin
BY Churches of All Denomi-
nations. Special Ser
vices to be Held.

February 7th, 1915, will be OBJ
served by the churches through
out Wisconsin as Go to Church
Sunday" Last year GO to
Church Sunday" was observed
by many towns and cities but
different days were observed.
This year the Publicity and
Church Life committees of the
churches are to make this move
ment state wide and February
7th has been set as the date.
Washburn will join in the
movement and the churches of
this city will observe the day
and will hold special services.
The object of the Go to Church
Sunday" movement is to get
people, who are not in the habit
of attending church regularly, to
set aside one day in the year in
which to attend church and last
year churches were filled wher-
ever the movement was observed.
1t is expected that with a state
wide campaign on the movement
will be more generally observed.
The slogan this year is go to
Church Sunday, Feb. 7th. All
Creeds, All Denominations, All
Nationalities."

and maintenance of modern
gasoline automobiles. Last year
course on gas engines adapted
to automobiles was given in this
city. For this year an entirely

tion.
The course consists of ten
lectures on the construction and
operation of automobiles. The
lecture work is supplemented
with suitable text material, ster-
eopticon views, and demonstra-
tions to illustrate the discussions.
The subjects for the meetings
are as follows:
Two and four stroke engines.
Gas engine fuels and carbur-
etors.
Electrical principles and bat
terry ignition systems.
Magnetic and magnetic ignition
systems.
Lubrication and cooling sys-
tens.
Power plant groups.
Self-starters.
Motor car transmission sys-
tens.
Motor car troubles and rem.
edies.
General directions for drivers

car pamphlets containing four
hundred pages of reading matter
on operation, carburetors, bat
teries, magnetos, lighting, and
engines; a set of ten cards on
tire troubles; and one automo'
bile engine trouble chart.
This course has been given in
various parts of the state sue

lily to men who contemplate
purchasing cars, but can be
taken up by men with some
experience to great advantage

Looking for Location

A creamery man from Indiana
has been in the city for some
time looking over the field with
a view to opening up creamery
in this city. He seemed well i'm
pressed with the city and the
surrounding country.
For some time the farmers OF
this section have been advocat-
ing the starting of a creamery
and such an institution would
have their support. There is
j. ow enough COWS in the territory
around Washburn to support a
creamery and it would be a sue
cess almost from the start.

Many of the mem bers of the

the information that some sort
of a social time would be ar
ranged for the near future.

printed but is read at monthly
meetings of the Brotherhood
and it proved to be one of the
most humorous sheets that has
ever been issued.
The members of the Brother
hood and a number of invited
friends enjoyed the reading of
the first number last Monday
evening. The editors of this
paper are winners in their line
and we would not be surprised
to hear that some big daily had

OLD CLOTHING NEEDED
Appeal by Milwaukee to the
People in Wis
consinA

Owing to the industrial de-
preston which exists universally
there are thousands of people in
every industrial center who are
out of work and in need of help.
Milwaukee has a large problem
in providing the poor with cloth
ing and other necessities. A
number of towns about the state,
especially farming communities
which have no pressing poverty
problem to solve, have already
come to the aid of the Associated
Charities of Milwaukee by con-
tributing old clothing.
If the organizations, churches
and schools of the towns which
are so fortunate as to be without
large numbers of needy people
will gather up all the old clothing
which can be spared and send it
to the Associated Charities, Mil
waukee, they will be providing
warmth and comfort for hund-
reds and perhaps thousands of
people. Many towns are already
engaged in this work, why not
