coated with a blend Of harder asphals, which forms an impervious
coating and prevents the inner Saturation from drying out.
This explains why CERTAIN-TEED outives ordinary roofing, and
why 1t is possible to guarantee it for 5, 10 or IS years, according to

of roohngs and building papers is behind this guarantee; which is
conservative, as experience proves that CERTAIN-TEED outives
the period of guarantee.

Means Not Tidy Anyway

Since the cleanup campaign
has been on in full blast in
Washburn there has been more
or less use for the word 'sin.
sanitary" or perhaps "unsani-
tary" as more people are in.
clined to pronounce it, and the
question has now arisen as to
which is the right pronunciation
of the word. The prefix ''un'
and also Sin" are used when
meaning mot" which would
seem to indicate that either
VIC I 2 be p.oss5 sss 4 soaeof The
older dictionaries are inclined
to use the prefix un when used
in connection with the word
meaning not sanitary. The late
dictionaries however pronounce
the word insanitary. Some OF
the smaller dictionaries give
neither word.
At any rate which ever word
is used it means mot sanitary
and that is what the Woman's S
Council and the other organiza-
tions, including the city ad-
ministration, are trying to cor.
rect so there will be no need for
the prefix before the word and
that the city will be in sanitary
condition.
Clean up so that there will be
no further need to argue the
word.

Here is Another

After reading last weeks ar
ticle in The Times as to one of
the best methods for killing
what is known as the cucum Der
beetle, Conrad Kammerer, who
has forty acre tract of land at
Upson, Wis. comes to the front
with a new remedy which he
says proves very effective in the
killing of the beetle. The follow.
ing is the receipt given by Mr..
UpsoD. Take wood ashes and
sift them fine. then mix in three
tablespoons of turpentine, mix
ing in a little at a time. Sprinkle
a little on the vines and the
beetles will then disappear.
This is a good remedy to try.

Carries off Honors at c.. E.
Convention
For Sending the Largest
Delegation the Longest
Number of Niles.

Washburn Christian Endeavor-
ers are feeling higly elated again
over their success in winning a
banner for the local society at
the state convention which was
held at Appleton during the past
week. The local society carried
off the honors for having sent
the largest delegation the long
est number of miles of any
society in the state.
Last year the Washburn So
ciety won fame at the world
convention at Chicago when
they carried off a like banner
and as result of their two sue
cesses they have received much
advertising throughout the
Christian world.
Those who made the securing
of the banner possible were Rev.
and Mrs. 0. w. Smith, Lucille
Smith, Agnes Ellicson, Esther
Olson, Claribel Stevens, Jerusha
Johnson, Charles Frost and Ed.
Wilke. This delegation repre-
sented the society at the state
convention.
The northern District of which
Washburn is a part also won the
oratorical contest which was
held at Appleton, being repre-
sented by Clinton Ferguson of
S<nerior.

Probably the preacher who
is most prominent politically at
the present moment is Herbert
Seely Bigelow, of Cincinnati.
Mr.. Bigelow is no novice in po-
litics, and wLile he has been for
the last nineteen years an ac-
tive and successful pastor, he
has devoted much of his time to
the work of social and political
reform. Mr.. Bigelow is a young
man, not merely in years, he is
42-but also in physique and
spirit, He is man of tremen-
dous vitality and energy, who
suggects little or nothing of the
conventional clergyman, in dress
or manner, and who, while never
losing anything of the dignity of
his calling, knows how to be
simply man among men. He is
a fine speaker, and is noted not
only as pulpit and campaign
orator. but as a lecturer.

Local Creamery Doing Great
Business
Paying -Four Cents Above
Elgin for Sweet Cream.
Making Ice Cream.

Perhaps one of the busiest in
stitutions in this city for the day
before the 4th was the plant of
the White Rose Creamery COM
panyin this city. This insti-
tuition, a short time ago, in
stalled up-to-date ice cream
making machinery and this
branch of the business has been
built up until the local trade is
now almost entirely supplied by
the Washburn institution.
The task put upon them the
day before the 4th was a big one
but they were equal to the
emergency and for the 4th of
July trade made 400 gallons of
ice cream. Enough cream was
on hand at the institution to
make an additional 100 gallons,
but the failure of the ice man to
get ice to the plant caused the
cream to sour and only about
sixty gallons had to be shipped
in from outside to keep the
local trade going.
The Washburn institution is
making a high grade of ice cream,
and the Washburn people ap-
preciate their efforts along this
line. j:
While the creamery has gone
into the ice cream business on a
large scale, yet they have not
been neglecting the butter end
of the business which was in
dicated by the fact that the day
following the 4th $50 pounds of
butter was churned.
Managers Mckinney and
Maxcy and buttermaker Taite
have been doing much to build
up this business and they have
now secured the confidence of
the farmers and patrons and the
success of the institution is as
sured.

Hudson Maxim, international au-
thority on arms and ammunition,
delivers lecture graphically des.
cribing Americas defenseless con-
dition. John Harrison, inspired by
Maxim's disclosures and realizing
the awful consequences to which our
national unpreparadness may lead,
resolves to consecrate his every
effort to the cause of adequate de-
fense, He is engaged to Virginia
Vandergriff, whose father is an
advocate of national disarmament
and " Peace at any Price,. John
makes a fruitless effort to show
Vandergriff the fallacy of his stand.
VanGergriff's friend, Emanon,
ostensibly peace propagandist,
but in reality foreign spy, is the
head Of band of conspirators plott.
ing the invasion of America. The
invaders approach New York. The
news reaches huge peace meeting
at which Vandergriff is a speaker,
In the midst of this meeting shell
crashes throught the walls of the
building. The battleships of the
enemy, out of range of the guns of
Forts Hamilton, Hancock and Wads-
worth, are able to lombard New
York.
Shells are devas stating the build
ings in the downtown district.
Homes are desecrated; citizens slain
without mercy. Terror reigns.
John S mother and sister are killed.
Vandergriff is shot in the street.
John is bayoneted in defense of the
girl he loves. AS a climax to the

disgrace at the hands of the enemy,
kills her two daughters and herself,
An allegorical masterpiece is
shown contrasting Columbia, crush

a merciless foe with Columbia as she
should be-proud, commanding,
supreme.

Washburn, Wisconsin, Thursday, July 9Th, 1916

| tie between the Bayfield, and
Washburn fire companies was
staged at the corner of bayfield,
street and 7th avenue. This
proved to be short but interest
ing. the Bayfield, boys being
swept off their feet by the
enormous pressure of the Wash
burn water. They were game
however and wanted another try
which was granted them by the
Washburn department and in
this second effort better fight
was put up. The Washburn boys
drove the Bayfield, boys off the
end of the hose in the second
fight.
The display of fireworks did
not go off as smoothly as the
balance of the program. The
committee in charge of this
failed to read directions before
starting the display but when
they finally gotit started it was
grand and the finest ever seen
in the city.
The dance at the DUPONT Park
Addition drew large crowds dur
ing the afternoon. During the
day thousands of people visited
this beautiful addition to see the
lots being offered for sale and
to enjoy the amusements which
had been provided for them by
the Central Holding Company.
A hugh dancing platform had
been provided and band of
twenty pieces furnished music
during the afternoon and eve
ming. Statesmen were on the
grounds during the day looking
after the welfare of the visitors.
On a whole it was one of the
biggest celebrations ever held
in the city. The Bayfield, people
turned out in large numbers,
coming down by special train,
automobile, boat and rig. They
turned out royalty and the peo-
pie of this city will reciprocate
when the Bayfield, people hold
the Labor Day celebration.
Many visitors We're also here
from outside points, Ashland,
Park Falls, Mellen, Phillips.
Hurley; Mason, Cornucopia,
Herbster, Port Wing, and other
places down the Omaha being
represented by delegations.
