was considerably changed at
the annual meeting of the coun-
ty board held on Tuesday, the
changes being made in the
towns of Barksdale, Washburn
and Bayview. The town of
Barksdale was considerably en-
larged as a result Of the action
of the board while the town of
Bayview lost territory which
was given to the town of Wash
burn,
The changing of the map of
Bayfield, county was not accom-
plished however without con-
siderable of a scrap in which
Pat Galligan of the town of
Barksdale and A. P. Stone of
the town of Washburn, assisted
by Barney Kekhoefer of the
town Eileen were lined up
against the rest of the board.
Their scrap proved fruitless
against the efforts of the other
members.
The resolutions providing for
the changes were introduced by
Supervisor Peavey of Washburn
at the morning session and after
considerable debate were finally
killed.
At the afternoon session At
torney Macleod appeared be.
fore the Board and his talk
seemed to give the members a
different view of things and a
motion to have the resolutions
considered was passed, there
being only one dissenting vote.
Another lively discussion en-
sued and at the evening session
the resolutions were finally
passed, there being only three
negative votes.
The following are the changes
as made: Townships 48, Ranges
4, 5, 6 and z west were taken
from the town of Washburn and
given to the town of Barksdale,
while sections % and "a, town.
ship 40, range 5, was taken from
the town of Bayview and given
to the town of Washburn,
That part of the County sys'
tenn from the city of Washburr
line to the town of Eileen was
abandoned as a part of the
County System of Highways and
the road was given to the town
of Barksdale to be maintained
as town road. This last action
is subject to the approval OF
the State Highway Commission.
The object of the members OF
the board in changing the map
and in abandoning the road was
to give the town of Barksdale
an opportunity to spend its
money on it's own roads in a
manner which the officials OF
the town may deem the most
advisable. Barksdale has money
to burn. The income tax from
the DUPONT company gives the
town $4,000 this year and it is
said that the amount to be re-
ceived the following will be
more than S125,000. Under the
present law Barksdale is unable
to spend it's money outside OF
the town and the action of the
board will now give them road
upon which to spend their
money.
The road in the town of Oulu
known as the Boulevard road
was abandoned as a part OF the
county system of high ways and
will become a town road. This
road connected with no other
county road.
A resolution was introduced
by A. P. Stone of the town OF

Of The County Board

field county, the committee to
make a detailed report at the
next meeting of the county
board.
Several members of the board
spoke both in favor of and
against the proposition but upon
roll call there appeared only six
dissenting voted.
The committee on Buildings
and Grounds reported to the
board the changes proposed to
the court room at the Court
House and Architect Wildhagen
of Ashland was present to ex-
plain the plans and to give an
estimated cost Of the changes.
After seeing the plans and pro-
posed changes a resolution was
passed setting aside something
over $500 for the purpose of
making the improvements which
will be made this winter.
The court room will be made
smaller and will face across the
building in the opposite direction
from the present arrangement.
The ceiling will be lowered, the
jury room will be changed, the
Judges bench will be changed
and new furniture will be added.
A resolution was introduced
and adopted providing that Eben
Olson be advanced the sum of
$4,000 on his contact on the fill
on the Ashland -Washburn road,
the county taking over the steel
and track equipment of the con-
tractor at Nash, the amount so
paid being deducted at time of
final settlement. Chairman
Mertz notified the Board that
the would refuse to sign this
order on the ground that suffi-
cient work had not been COM
pleted and that the paying of
the amount would break the
contract.
The report of the committee
on roads proved to be an inter-
esting document and the follow
ing recommendations for the

Neighborly Help.
Texas Farm and Ranch.

The neighborly spirit that causes
one farmer to visit another when
he is sick and if his crop needs at
tention send hands to save it, is
commendable. The country needs
more of this neighborly practice,
more of the friendly and sympa-
thizing help that enables an un-
fortunate man to rise.
1t does not require an orsaniza-
ton for an unfortunate farmer to
receive help when he needs it. All
it requires is sympathy, and gen
orally there is plenty of it in the
neighborhood where a man lives
right and has shown sympathy.
Sympathy that helped ones
neighbors roll logs, raise a house,
cultivate a crop when the manager
is sick has built this nation. This
kind of neighborliness has esta-
blished this country i'll peace and
prosperity.
1t is our duty as farmers and'ci
tizens to keep up such sentiment
by teaching the children that those
who help their neighbors help tha
themselves and society.

INcUeATORS AND eROODERS
GIVE GOOD RESULTS.

Within the past few years artificial
incubation and brooding have under
gone a wonderful development. By
careful attention to details it is now
possible, with very little labor, to
hatch and rear chickens by artificial
methods Just as well or better than by
the natural method.
The advantages claimed for the use
of incubators and brooders are as fol-
lows:
1. Eggs can be set at any time. 1t
is not necessary to wait for hen to
become broody.
2. The eggs are under absolute
control; there is no hen to break the
eggs, SOIL the eggs or leave the nest.
8. There is a constant supply of
heat. Eggs and chicks are not sub
jected to the whims Of the hen.
4. There are no lice or mites.
The poultry raiser who is to use in
cubators and brooders should start
with new machines, of some standard
make. He should avoid all doubtful
secondhand machines and look with
caution upon the extremely cheap ma
chimes which are sometimes offered
Different types Of machines require
different methods of operation. The
directions for use that accompany
each machine should be carefully fol-
lowed. AFT. Rolf,
