Local Squad Plays a Score
less Game Saturday
Hold Down Heavier Cppo-
nents. Show Up Fine in
Opening Game of Season.

| The local High School rooter1
were we'll rewarded last Satur
day afternoon when their favor
ties held the much heraldeC
Northland College team to a OF
tie. The game was necessarily
a slow one, neither team having
their signals down pat so early
| in the season. The slowness
was made up for however in the
stubborn defense put up by both
sides. The play was mostly
confined to line bucks, altho a
few end runs were tried. Only
two forward passes were tried
and one punt, none of which
were successful due to the high
wind that swept the field.
Thomas Tanmal was a tower
of strength at center for Wash
burn. MacRae and O'Sullivan
were a pair of fighting guards
that did much to break up the
plays of their opponents. Carl
Anderson and Nobel Jodell were
tackles for Washburn. Alf
Anderson and Peter Hanson
were the fellows playing at the
ends of the line who broke up
all of Northland's attempts at
wide end runs. Both made some
pretty tackles which drew cheers
from the crowd. Ted Terriault
was the general, playing quarter
back: He was not as familiar
with his plays as he will be soon
and will develop into a good
pilot for the team. At halves
Downey and Kinney played the
game, with Cosgrove at full.
The back field was slow getting
started. Often the half back
running with the ball was right
up against the other men, trip
ping over them when they fell.
This defect will be eliminated
however with a few more days
practice and a fast team
developed.
The team is a heavy one and
if they can develop more speed
their opponents will have a hard
proposition to win games from
them. The coaches and Girls
Boosters expect big things from
them this year.

Stearns Mill Closed Down
For Season.
Shortage of Logs for Wash
burn Mill Causes an
Early Shut Down.

The big saw mill Of the J. s.
Stearns Lumber company in this
city was closed down on Mon.
day evening when the "long
whistle" was sounded, announc.
ing that the mill had finished
the seasons cut.
This mill has runsteadily since
the opening Of navigation and
the cause Of the early shut down
was due to the shortage Of logs
for the Washburn plant. Every
stick Of timber in the mill pond
was cut on Monday night and a.
there was no more logs available
for this year The mill could not
be run longer.
On . whole the season has
been q successful one Tor the
Stearns company. While some
trouble Yves experienced In get
ting labor during the busy
months of the summer yet
Manager George Moore managed
to keep the plant operating full
blast until the available supply
Of timber was exhausted.
All Of the men who were en-
ployed at the mill will have little
difficulty in finding employment
in the city at other work as there
is a great shortage of men here
at the present time.

No Eye Strain Caused by Dark
Print Paper

Eye strain resulting from various
kinds of news print paper has been
made the subject of interesting ex-
periments by the department of
psychology at the University of Wis
consin and the Forest Products
laboratory.
When the result of the laboratory
Investigations on the use of tama-
rack, jack pine, and other interior
woods as substitutes for spruce in the
manufacture of print paper were
published, the question was raised
as to whether the dark color of some
of these papers would make reading
difficult. Some original and effective
methods of testing eye fatigue were
developed and as the result of ex-
haustive studies, the conclusion was
reached that no difference in eye
fatigue was produced by reading
from darker newsprint papers than
from paper made of white spruce.

A Fine Production

''Ne'er Do Well" which was
presented at the Temple Theatre
on Friday evening of last week
was one of the finest pictures

ment that the people of the city
appreciate the efforts Of the
manager Mr.. Trowbridge in
bringing such a picture to the
city.

Some Late Strawberries

October strawberries. Sure
and grown right here in Wash
burn by Frank Pfiefer, a gardner
residing in the west end of the
city. On Tuesday of this week
Mr.. Pfiefer marketed several
boxes of ripe berries which
were fine as to color and flavor.
OF course the berries brought a
fancy price, but then the pur-
chaser said they tasted fine just
the same.

Fire Prevention Day

Hon. Emanuel L. Phillip the
governor of our state, has by procla-
nation designated October 9th, the
anniversary of the great Chicago fire,
as FIRE PREVENTION DAY.
Cognizant of the fact that the fire
loss of the state is perhaps its great
est waste, and that annually quite a
number of children and adults are
burned to death in our state, he
thinks it worth while, that not only
the schools, but officials and citizens
generally spend the day in studying
the causes of this waste of life and
property and in Using active efforts
to remove those causes 40 far as
possible.
We urge upon each mayor to also
issue proclamation, recommending
to the citizens generally q thorough
cleaning up of all combustile mater
ials and rubbish in yards. alleys,
area-ways, cellars and cellar entries,
storerooms, attics, sheds and barns;
and further to inspect every stove
and stovepipe every furnace, SIN, ke-
flue and chimney to see that these
are sound, clean and safely installed.
Intelligent effort along these two
lines will remove many causes of fire
and contribute to saving both the
property and lives of his fellow
citizens.
Fire chiefs know the meaning of
the deplorable fire waste and that in
every fire there is the possibility of
conflagration and of death to fire.
men and others.
It is hoped that the chief will
delegate a sufficient number of fire..
men to make the rounds of the city.
to make sure that all combastileI
rubbish and waste is cleaned up and
removed.
In the regular October quarterly
inspection we trust the inspectors will
pay particular attention to the con-
dition and installation of stoves,
heating plants and chimneys, and to
make sure that all defects discovered
a"e promptly remedied.
Unclean conditions and unsafe
heating plants and chimneys are re-
sponsible for large part of our fire
waste and the loss of numerous lives
annually.
The local health officer also is in
terested in clean conditions as pre-
vention of infantile paralysis and
other contagious disease, and he will
no doubt be willing to accompany
one of the fire department inspec-
tors on his rounds.
We are confident, that proper
observance of this day in schools
and communities will bring good re-
turns in property and lives saved
from the devouring fire fiend. A large
number of other states are also OBJ
serving October 9th as Fire Pre-
vention Day." and have demonstra-
ted in former years it's effectiveness
for that purpose.
Dated, October l, 1916.

Indoor Life Makes Fat
Take OH Of korein to Keep Weight
Down, or to Reduce Super
fiIoIIS Eat

People who are confined within
doors and who are deprived OF fresh,
invigorating air and exercise must
take precaution to guard against over
stoutness, as fat acquired by indoor
life is unhealthy and a danger to the
vital organs Of the body. Lack Of
exercise in the fresh air weakens the
oxygen-carrying power Of the blood,
so that it is unable to produce strong
muscles and vitality and the forma-
ton Of unsightly and unhealthy fat
is the result.
p II you are Is or 20 pounds above
normal weight you are daily drawing
on your reserve strength and are
constantly lowering your vitality by
carrying this excess burden. Any
person who is satisfied in their own
mind that they are too stout should
go to a good druggist and get box
of oil of korein capsules, and take
one after each meal and one Just be-
fore retiring at night.
Even a few days treatment should
show a noticeable reduction in weight,
digestion should improve, energy re-
turn, footsteps become lighter and
the skin less fiabby in appearance
Oil Of korein Is inexpensive, can
not injure, helps the digestion and
is designed to increase the oxygen
carrying power Of the blood any per
son who wants to reduce their weight
15 or 20 pounds should give this treat
ment a trial. There is nothing bet
