Fair Announcement.
TO THE CITIZENS OF NORTH
WISCONSIN:

TO THE CITIZENS OF NORTH
WISCONSIN:
The Bayfield, County Fair Associa-
ton has, for over 20 years, been de-
voting time, money and energy, in
an effort to bring the Bayfield, County
Fair up to it's present high standard.
There were times during the earlier
life of the Fair Association when
things looked very discouraglng to
the fair officers.
The Public did not appreciate the
efforts of the Fair Association, be-
cause 1t did not understand; the
people had to be educated; the large
Lumber companies, who years ago
dominated TO some extent. the poll
cies of local governments, were not
always favorable to the FAIR Associa-
ton or holding of an Agricultural
Fair in Bayfield, County.
North Wisconsin was a lumber
country at that time, and the Annual
Bayfield, County Fair was thought by
some to be premature; and by many
it was looked upon as ''big joke"
But Fortunately all of the officers
who guided the destiny of the Bay
field County FAIR Association in for
mer years, were men with brains:
Men who could see the great undeve-
loped agricultural resources of north
Wisconsin; and they were determined
to make Bayfield, County the leader
In a movement to convert that vast
wilderness on the south shore of
Lake Superior, into the finest Farm
ing, Daring, and Fruit growing dis
trict in this whole state of Wisconsin
and they were backed by "bunch"
of sturdy north land men who never
knew what 1t meant to quit; men who
would, and some of them did
"plank" down their last dollar to help
finance the Bayfield, County Fair.
Some of these men are now dead ;
some are here in Bayfield, County
and others are scattered throughout
the country but the Bayfield, County
Fair shines forth each year, getting
bigger and better, glowing tribute
to the sterling qualities of these men,
who were responsible for its exist
ence, which has been instrumental IN
placing North Wisconsin on the agn-
cultural Map.
Now, my dear friend, have you
been doing your part? If not, why
not? It is not too late to begin now
don't you think it is right and proper
that you should support an institution
that is eternally ''boosting" and
"booming" that part of the country
IN which you have cast your lot;
whether as Farmer or business Man;
whether in Bayfield, County or some
other part of north Wisconsin? Of
course You do.
Then be real Citizens, and show
your patriotism and love of this
north-land by participating in the
good work of advancing its interests
and promoting good fellowship and

To Whom Honor is Due.

As a pendant to the story of the
professor who upon being ques-
toned on the witness stand declar-
ed that he was "the greatest living
scientist" saying apologetically aft
erward that he "was on oath, y
comes the following anecdote from
New England college:
Dr.. II. had been unfolding to his
class in physics a new and startling
idea, and at the end of the explana-
ton one of his students said defer
entially, "Is that your own theory,
professor"
NO." the professor replied,
"but," he added reassuringly, ''it's
a good one."-Youth's Companion.
Rye For SiIage.
Rye should be cut for silage when in
blossom and the most advanced heads
are In the dough stage. AS the grain
begins to ripen and get hard the stems
get hollow, and 1t Is very difficult to
make a good grade of silage under
these conditions. When put into the
silo it should be cut into one-quarter to
one-half inch length. If dry it should
be wet in order to help pack the silage.

Why Cows Give More Milk.

Cattle used to be bred chiefly for
work, says the Farm and Fireside.
Therefore the cows did not give much
milk. Breeds improve the thing for
which they are selected.
In 1890 the work cows Of Germany
gave an average of a pint and half
a day Interest in milk increased, and
by 1900 the average yield was quart
and a half. Breeding went on milk
ward, and in 1910 the German cows
averaged two quarts of milk each per
day, in 1920 three, In 1880 four, and
there the gain stopped for thirty years.
But in 1860 the production had increas-
ed to six quarts and by 1870 to eight

The average adult man sustains
on every pleasant day an atmos-
pheric pressure of about fourteen
tons at sea level when the barom-
eter is at 80, and drop of an inch
or more to 20 and below practically
takes off half ton or more of his
load to which he is accustomed.
Periodically, instead of feeling
lighter and freer, man feels its dis
turbing, depressing effect on his
tissues. He has to become adjusted
to this alteration from normal ten
sity to one of unusual relaxation.
The relaxed condition of unpleas-
ant weather extending over a num-
Der of days makes us feel "out of
sorts."-Health Service Bulletin.

BETHESDA CHURCH NOTES

The revival services have steadily in
creased in interest and power. Large
congregations have gathered nightly,
although the weather conditions for
the most part, have been unfavorable.
The soulful singing and pointed sermons
and exhortations have deeply impressed
the people. Miss Minnie Shay is ably
assisting the pastor. Her singing,
altar calls and personal work are an in
valuable asset in the services. She is
winning golden opinions. If the interest
continues to increase and the people
continue to give their hearty support
to the meetine the pastor is hopeful of
keeping her here for another week.
Let every member and friend of the
church rally to the standard of Christ.
We cordially welcome the members of
other churches. We are making a
desperate effort to bring souls to the
shores of Salvation. Will you not help
us with your prayers, and be present
every night and invite your neighbors
to come witn you? There have been
several conversions and reclamations,
and the spiritual life of the church has
been greatly quickened.
Next Sunday we expect to have a
great day. The pastor will preach
morning and evening, and Miss Shay
will sing and give the altar calls.
Services will begin at 1920 a. m. and
7@0 pm. An opportunity will be given
to those who have decided for Christ
to join the Church on probation.
You will strengthen your position by
uniting with Gods people. The church
is designed to help you on your way to
heaven, Come thou and go with us,
and we will do you good.
Up. m. Sunday School.
There will be a mems meeting at $50

We want to see the church crowded
with men. God is waiting to pour out
his spirit upon us. Some say we are
having the best meeting seen here for
years.
$50 a. m. Brotherhood. Devotional

wOMER's COLLEGE NOTES
On Saturday evening. January 90
MIR Frank Schoonover, a well knowr
illustrator of Wilmington, gave an ad
dress at the Women's College on the
work of the late Pyle, under whom he
studied. He said that the idea of es
tablishing an art colony came to Mr.
Pyle during the time that he was ar
instructor in Drexel Institute. Mr
Schoonover then spoke of. the human
side of Mr.. Pyle, showing how he wal
extremely generous never charging
anything for the years of INSTRUCTION
that he gave to the colony of artist!
which he gathered about him at Chadd'i
Ford. Mr.. Pyle was also, the speaker
said, the most patient man he had evel
known. He was always ready to helE
pupils with their work, and would take
unlimited pains to point out a mistake
and show them how to correct it. Mr.
Schnoover then sketched the growth Of
the art of magazine illustration, show
ing that nearly all the most prominent
illustrators now painting in this country
including Miss Jesse Wilcox Smith anC
Mrs. Alice Barber Stevens. received
their training under Howard Pyle. The
whole address was instructive as well az
interesting
