Everybody Living Very
Peaceably
County Has to Employ Help
to Keep Jail Yards
Spruced UP.

Bayfield, county is sure getting
to be an ideal place in which to
live and people seem to be get
ting along peaceably for the
county jail is as the present
time, and had been for some
time, without any prisoners. 81
The Drys say it is because
there are only four towns in the
whole county in which there are
soloons and there seems to be
something in this statement.
So slack is the business in the
prisoner line that the county has
been compelled to employ man
to keep the grass cut in the jail
and court house yard and it be-
gins to look as if a man will
have to be employed steadily
for the prospects at the jail for
prisoners seems to be slim.

Had a Close Call

Erick LeMone, expert electri-
cian for the Electric Light
& Power company had a narrow
escape Tuesday afternoon from
being electrocuted while making
changes to wires on Washington
avenue.
LeMone was working on a
pole, about thirty feet above the
ground when he accidently came
in contact with wire carrying
23OO volts. The shock caused
him to grasp the wire with both
hands and he felt unable to let
go. LeMone's presence of mind
is perhaps the only thing that
saved him from being electro
cuted as he felt the electricity
going through his arms he
leaped forward into the air and
thus released his hold upon the
wire and he dropped toward the
ground, but became entangled
in wires lower down the pole
which prevented his fall to the
ground and perhaps serious in
jury.
LeMone received severe
shock and was bruised some
what in the fall into the wires.
but he was not seriously hurt.
He considers himself lucky to
be alive today.

COMMITTEE
LETS CONTRACT
For Work on Bayfield,
County Roads
Salmo Road Job goes to Min
nesota Man While Olson
Gets Two Contracts

A special meeting of the road
committee of the county board
of Bayfield, county was held at
the court house in this city last
Friday when the committee met
for the purpose of letting con-
tracts on several jobs which had
been advertised for bids.
One Of the big contracts a.
warded was the rebuilding of
the road in the vicinity of Salmo
on the Washburn-Bayfield road.
Two bidders were after this
work, being Eben Olson of Port
Wing and G. w. Wethern of
Minnesota. For this work Olson
had bid of $500 for the build
ing and grading of the road and
$1,000 for the concrete culverts,
while the Minnesota man bid on
the grading at the rate of 28c
per cubic yard, SO per cubic yard
for the concrete work and $1.75
per cubic yard if road were en-
countered.
The committee figured the
Wethern bid the lowest and the
contract was awarded to him for
the work.
Eben Olson. one Of the bidders
for this work, believes the COM
nlittee has made a mistake in
awarding this bid for ne feels
that the straight bid would
prove to be the lowest when the
work is accomplished. On the
face of the two bids the Wethern
bid, according to the number of
yards of earth to be removed,
would be the lowest, but Olson
claims that rock will be encount-
cred in the excavating which
will make his bid the lowest. He
further cites that the Wethern
bid was not accompanied by a
certified check as called for in
the proposal.
The contracts for concrete
culverts in the town Of Russell
and one on the Iron River-Port
Wing Road were awarded to
Olson of Port wing for $3.50 and
$500.
In the rebuilding of the road
near Salmo the county proposes
to follow the railway right of
way more closely which will give
a more uniform grade and will
permit of a wider roadbed.

Who Have to go to the
Mexican Border
Dupont Company will Pay
Men Full Time Who 60
to the Front.

The men who were employed
at the plant of the Dupont COM
pany at Barksdale and who have
been called home to join their
companies to go to the Mexican
Border, will not have to feel so
badly about having to give up
good paying positions at the
plant for advices have been given
out by the company to the effect
that they will pay all enlisted
men full pay for a period of six
months following the enlistment
should the trouble with Mexico
last that length of time. And
when the six months period is
up it is expected that that the
company will make other ar
rangements at that time.
So far the advices received re-
ceived relate only to men en-
ployed on construction at the
plant but further advices are ex-
pected covering all employees of
the Dupont company.
The DUPONT company, in
granting full pay to their men
who will take up arms to uphold
the right of the Stars and
Stripes, is to be commended in
this respect for they are setting
an example that should be fol-
lowed by every manufacturing
institution throughout the coun-
try.
In their Barksdale works four
or five men have been called
home to go to the Mexican bor-
der and all of the plants through
out the country will be effected
In a like measure.

HER DEATH NEAR
So Everyone Thought, But Is Now
Well And Stronger Than Ever.

Newton, Mo. .-"I can certainly
speak good word for Cardui, the
woman's tonic," says Mrs. Jay
Rhoades, of this town. "I suffered for
IL years with my right side, and the
last three years, would have a bad
spell with it about every three months.
l would get SO bad off, every one
would think could not live.
The first of July, I began taking
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and l
haven't had bad spell since soon
after l began taking it.
Before taking Cardui, I was so ir-
regular, and, at times, l could hardly
stand on my feet. Now, l can clean
house, and do any kind of work with
out its hurting me in the least.
Cardui will surely do for other
women, what it did for me. I am tell
ing all my neighbors about it,"
Cardui is mild and effective tonic
for women, that has been found, by
actual use, during more than so years,
to relieve the ailments to which all
women are peculiarly liable.

The visible supply of wheat in the
countries which figured most in the
worlds grain trade is so much larger
than usual that it looks ominous to
those whose interests are on the side
of high prices for breadstuffs, says
Cleveland leader. The margin carried
over from the old crop year to the new
may be 100,000,000 bushels greater
than it was last year. But it is a
gross mistake to suppose that such a
surplus means glutted market for
the bread grains of the white mans
world. The present promise of the
winter wheat crop Of this country is
for yield of 155,000,00O bushels less
than the quantity harvested in 1915.
That fact alone more than offsets the
larger surplus carried over from one
crop year to the next. There is good
reason to believe that by the end Of
the spring wheat harvests next fall the
statistical position of the wheat mar
Iket will be stronger than it was last
September. There cannot be too much
grain grown this year in the United
States. However generous the Amer
lean crops may prove the world will
want them all and the need is likely
to be urgent.
