Thousands Take in Washburn
Celebration
Day Was Ideal and Everyone
Had a Good Time
Fine Program

thing Of the past, yet the recol'
lection of it in Washburn and in
the minds of the visitors who
were here on that day will be
remembered for some time
Never before was such a crowd
seen on the streets of Washburn
and everyone seemed to enjoy
themselves.
The day started out clear and
warm and was ideal for the 4th
celebration which had been
planned by the committees. The
salute was fired during the early
morning hours but the program
for the day did not begin until
about nine o'clock when the
Washburn City Band appeared
upon the street.
Both sides of the street, for a
distance of blocks, was lined up,
with concession tents, merry-go-
round, carnival amusement tents,
| ice cream booths, etc. and these
were swarmed with people.
The parade which was held
shortly after nine o'clock was a
grand affair and the largest ever
seen in the city. Numerous busi-
ness houses were represented by
floats, automobiles were beauti-
fully decorated, and the lodges,
civil war and Spanish American
war veterans, Boy Scouts, etc.
joined in the line of march and
the parade was nearly mile in
length. Starting at the Armory
corner the parade wended its
way down Bayfield, street to
eighth avenue west, up eighth
avenue and back to Washington
avenue on Pine street, ending at
the Library.
Following the parade the
grand tableaux by the children,
arranged by the Woman's Coun-
Gil, was good. This was partici-
pated in by a large number OF
children and consisted of
marches, drills, etc. which went
| off in fine shape.
The Forth Of July Address by
Hon, H. w. DIETRICH of Superior
was one of the best addresses
delivered in the city in some
time. It was a preparedness
speech from start to finish and
all through the speaker was
cheered from time to time b
the large audie nee of listeners
and from the attitude of the
crowd it could be seen that they
were all in for preparedness.
At noon hour free vaudeville
act was staged on the platform
at the Lamoreaux Hotel corner
by Sells & Dalziel.
The ball game after dinner
between the F. T. Beers Club
team of this city and the Bay
field team attracted hundreds of
people. 1t was one of the best
games played on the home
grounds this season and was
won by the Washburn boys by a
score of four to 0. During the
first innings of, the game the
score stood l to 0. In the last
half of the eighth inning a series
of punched hits by the Powder
boys netted them three more
runs. The Bayfield, boys put up
a great battle and a brilliant
game but without success.
The races and sports were
held at the corner of Third
avenue and Bayfield, street at
4:3O o'clock and consisted of
several races.
At six o'clock Sells & Dalziel
again gave a free vaudeville at
traction at the Lamoreaux Hotel
corner.
At seven thirty the water bat

This estimate iB based on the as
sumption that there has been an in

whites who had become naturalized

and also as wishing for annexation to

LOWER CALIFORNIA
SPARSELY SETTLED

extreme length of 76O miles. Florida
has more than fourteen times as
many people.
Rugged and Barren
Varying In width from thirty to
$50 miles, Lower California is a rug
ged, barrel strip Of land with a
mountainous backbone largely Of vol
canic origin. For nearly two hundred
years after its discovery by the Span
Iards II was thought to be an island,
Tho southern portion Of the pen
lnsula has some rain. but the north
ern section is dry and arid, produo-
ing cereals, tobacco, grapes, cassava
and sugar cane only after being thor
Oughly irrigated. The mineral re-
sources are valuable and varied. Gold,
silver, leud, copper. salt, gypsum, tur-
quois, oDals and garnets are prolta-
bly, mined. The silver mines Of In
Pa2 were worked by the Jesuts AZ
carly as 1900, three years after the
famous padre, SalYatierra, establish
ed the first permanent Spanish settle
ment In the land.
Lower California owes Its early
exploration ut the hands of COrtez 8
lIeutenauts to the fact that the re-
gion was supposed to be the home Of
wonderful race of slrenR and anna
IONS whose majestic cities were paved
with gold. In writing TO his Bover-
eign in 1924 the conQueror Of Mexico
said: They tell me that Clguatan Is
an island inhabited by women with
out any men, although at certain
times they are visited by men from
the mainland, and II the women bear
female children they are protected,
but II males they are driven from
society. They also tell me that it is
very rich in pearls and gold, respect
ing which shall labor to obtain the
truth and give your majesty a full
account Of it.
Derivation of Name.
THE name California is derived
neither from Ciguatan, by which the
region was known to Cortez. nor from
Calida Fornax (Hot Oven), the apt
descriptive phrase employed by some
of the early explorers. The name was
used in Las Sergus de Esplandlan,' Il
widely read Spanish romance Of Cor
tez's day, to designate an island on
the right hand of the Indies very
near the terrestrial paradise. Some
commentators suggest that this name
was adopted in derision, for the bar
rem shores and desolate black noun
tains Of the peninsula sould hardly
have suggested elysian fields to those
seeking fertile valleys and treasure

tainly for a long time after the war
there will be a lull in emigration to
America, because of the anticipated
need for workers at home. Just as
many employers and labor experts in
Germany feel that wages there are go
ing to go up or stay up on an attrac-
lively high level, so the feeling exists
in Austria-Hungary that working con-
ditions here will be such that the in
clination to leave will be smaller than
ever before. In fact, return swing
in the tide of emigration, bringing back
many now in America, is by no means
considered an impossibility.

CHILD GETS SICK CROSS, FEVERISH
 IF CONSTIPATED
Look at tongue! Then give fruit laxative for stomach,
 liver, bowels.
California Syrup of Figs can't harm children and
 they love it.

A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour.
 Look at the tongue, mother! If coated, or your child is listless, cross feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ailment give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs" then don't worry, be- cause it is perfectly harmless, and in a few hours all this constipation poison. sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels and you have a well, playful child again. A thorough 'inside cleansing" is oftimes all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 5O-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs which has full directions for babies children of all ages and for groWn-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefully and see that it is made by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company.

HORSES RUN AWAY. DRIVER ARRESTED
Violated City Ordinance by Fail-
 ing to Hitch Team

NJ. R. Whipperly, employed by F. Allen Moore at his farm in Kensing- ton was in police court this morning on charge of leaving a pair of horses unhItched on Main street in violation of a city ordinance. The young man explained that he has been in this city less than two weeks, coming here from Vermont and was unfamiliar with local conditions. He further more said that one of the horses is too high strung to permit hitching Judge John H. Kirkham suspended judg- ment.
 Whipperly's arrest came as a result of an exciting runaway which oc- cured on Main street about o'clock yesterday. He entered the Nationa Bank and while inside the horses be- came frightened and bolted. A colli- sion with a sleigh occupied by a MT. and Mrs Murphy of Church street was narrowly averted and the runaway team collided with Dr. E. T.

 1t Paid Her to Be Financially Scrupu-
 woman told me this experience once: i've just had something hap pen to me that has made me feel that it's worth while to try to be square. There was a time when I was on the verge of doubting it. I've always paid my bills and been ultra-scrupu- lous about obligations of any sort, and sometimes when I've seen peo- pie who didn't. and found how we'll they got along, I wondered--- But yesterday I had a letter from a Wom- an, telling me that she had suggested my name to a friend of hers as one who might like to join in 8 CO., operative housekeeping plan. It is just the kind of thing I've always wanted to do and it would help me out this winter but what pleased me most was what she said in the letter. Here it is: I told Mrs. R that I couldn't promise that you'd get along together but one thing l could prom ise, and that was that you would be absolutely scrupulous about all finan- cial obligations This thing couldn't hve come my way if she hadn't known I was soaare. It makes me feel that after all people do notice and Care.'
 Such Appreciation Warns the Cookies Of Ones Heart. It is a pleasant feeling, isn't it, the
 kind that makes your heart grow warmer within you and the sunshine look brighter.
 Things like this do not very often come to the surface, but I think there are more of them under the surface than most of us realize.

TWISTED 1O2 DAYS
 RUNNING ON SLEIGHS
NortIIwestern Connecticut Buried Under Blanket of Snow and Spring
 FrcsIlcts Arc Feared.

Winsted, March 1S-There were no tales Of blue birds seen in tho Berkshire Hills today. Even rie robins were not in sight. The chief feature of the landscape in all the region around about WinSted was the huge snow drifts, and the chief topic of conversation among the farmers was the low mark on the thermometer which was from to 10 degrees below zero in most of the towns. Some of the oldest inhabi- tants had to search their memories to recall a March 18th which was as cold.
 This was the 1O2nd day of contin- uous sleighing throughout northwest ern Connecticut. In the woods the snow is four feet deep on the leve! and the ice on water courses is fully 12 inches. If spring comes with a rush some record breaking freshets are looked for.
