Just how the fire could have

On account of the early hour a
which the fire occurred there
was some difficulty in getting tt

departm ent soon had the blaz,
under control after arriving
upon the scene.

Washburn, Wiscon Thursday November 4th, 1915


The F. T. Beers Club is proving
to be a fine organization for the
men employed at the plant of
the DUPONT company at Barks-
dale. The club rooms for this
club were arranged by the Du-
Pont company and the building
is an ideal place for the young
men employed at the works to
spend their evenings.
Applications are coming in at
a rapid rate to the officers of the
club for membership in this or
ganization. The dues for the
same have been placed at a
nominal rate which is within the
means of all employees.
The idea of the DUPONT COM
pany in establishing this club
was to provide a place of amuse-
ment for their employees and
nothing was left undone that
would make the place an ideal
one. The building is so ar
ranged as to include library,
reading room, parlors, card
rooms, pool and billiard hall,
bowling alleys and a first class
gymnasium may be established
in the basement of the building.
The plant employees, realizing
that a good deal of the credit
for having this club established
was due to the untiring efforts
of the Superintendent Mr.. F. T.
Beers, have named their organ
ization the F. 7. Beers club.

Mrs. Doyle, whose death oc-
cured last Friday morning, ~as
nearing the eightieth year mark.
Had she lived until ,Decem Der
9Th she would have passed her
eightieth birthday. For many
months her general health has
been very poorly and her con.
dition became so weakened that
medical assistance was of no
avail and death came as a relief
to her sufferlngs.
Mrs. Doyle was a kindly lady
and a loving mother whose
circle of friends was mum bered
by the extent of her acquaint-
ance. For more than twenty
years she has been a resident
of this city. Since her hus band
died eleven years ago she has
made her home with her daugh-
ter Mrs. T. S. Buzard and son
M. E. Doyle.
The surviving relatives have
the sympathy of their many
friends in their bereavement.

SKATING RINK
FOR CHILDREN
Municipality to Establish
Free Skating Rink
Will be Located below Raarup
Corner on Washing
ton Avenue.

The city Dads" and the busi-
ness men of the city are going
to do something that will please
the children of the city nightly.
The city is going to establish a
free municipal skating rink for
the children and so enthusiastic
are the city fathers about the
project that it only took COM
mittee about three hours to make
all arrangements.
Raarup Brothers, owners OF
the land on which the rink will
be located, readily consented to
give their consent for the con-
struction of the same, and the
committee then proceeded with
a private subscription list with
which to finance the project.
Washburn has a lot of men
who are lovers of children and
who want to see the children
have a good time for there was
hardly a business man but what
took kindly to the project and
put his name down for amounts
ranging from $1.00 to $500. The
committee still has a number of
business men to see and when
the ground has been gone over
thoroughly enough money will
be on hand with which to build
the rink and keep it going during
the winter months.
The children of Washburn will
indeed be happy to learn that
they are to have a rink upon
which to skate. There is no
better outdoor sport in the win
ter time and we are glad to see
the movement go through.
The next thing that should be
taken up by the council is the
matter of play grounds for the
children where they will have
opportunity to enjoy clean,
healthful sport. Give the child
rem of Washburn an opportunity
to grow and develop under
wholesome condition and we will
build up a community of young
men we can be proud of.

Close Call for Business Section

The fire department was call.
ed out Tuesday morning to
what might have been a serious
fire in the business section of
the city. Some careless person
.had tili.p .pwn a lighted cigarette,
which started a fire in the hall
between the 5 and 10 cent store
room and Fox Bros. Drug Store.
Early in the morning passers-
by noticed the smoke and some
water was thrown on the fire
and it was thought it had been
put out but about an hour later
smoke was seen issuing from
the corner of the 10c store.
The fire had burned up between
the outside wall and had made
considerable headway before
the fire department arrived.
Quick work prevented a serious
blaze.
Had the fire started at night
it is altogether likely that a por-
tion of the business district
would have been wiped out.

COURSE Will
START NOV. Is
In the Law Of Commercial
Paper -
Will be Conducted Through
Extension Division of the
University.

A short course in the law of
commercial paper, which is one
of five in business law, will be
started in this city on November
18th under the direction of the
Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Mr.. j. P.
|O'Connor and Mr.. C. A. Gauts-
chalk, representing the Exten-
sion Division, have been in the
city on several occasions during
the past month completing ar
rangements for the course.
This is a course dealing with
promisary notes, checks, drafts,
bills of credit, bills of lading and
any instrument which stands for
money or credit. The course is
based on the uniform negotiable
instrument Act which has been
adopted in forty states Of the
unicn, the District of Columbia
and Hawaii. 1t was passed by
the Wisconsin Legislature in
1899. Mr.. A. w. Mcleod of
this city, who was member of
the legislature when this act
was passed, has been engaged
to deliver a series of ten lectures
during the course.
This is a course in which all
business men should be interest
ed for it contains much valuable
information pertaining to busi-
ness law.
The extension Division is also
considering starting a class in
automobiles, treating with 1915
cars. This will treat on things
about the automobile which will
be valuable to owners. 81 slides
showing engine parts will be on
hand for the course. The auto
mobile course will be conducted
by H. M. Jacklin of the Michigan
Agricultural college, who sue
ceeds w. c. Weaver who is now
connected with the Western
Electric company.
In connection with the auto
mobile course Mrs. Jacklin may
start course in home making
for the ladies of Washburn who
are interested. Both of these
courses are valuable.
The Division also has under
consideration the starting of a
class in English for Foreigners.
