Days
Bayfield, People Have Ar
ranged Fine Five Day
Program for All.

Beginning with next Saturday
the Summer Chautauqua will
open at Bayfield, and will con-
tinue for a period of five days.
This is a great undertaking by
the people of the Harbor city
and during the five days hun
dreds of people from the nearby
cities will go to Bayfield, to hear
lectures, musical entertainments
and the like by noted people.
There is not a single number
on the entire program that is
not worth going a long way to
hear. In addition to the fine
musical program there will be
lectures by such noted speakers
as Father Bowling, Paul F.
Voelker, Prof. Silas Evans, A.
R. Hall, Mrs. C. P. Cary, Clar-
ence Bergdefer, Albert Stump
and others.
Washburn people are planning
on going to Bayfield, by the hum
dreds during Chautauqua week.

planned a fine entertainment
and those going will be accorded
a royal reception and a treat.

IS
DELAYED AGAIN
Storm Sewers Must Now
be Laid -
City Officials to Push Work
and to Rush Paving
When Started.

It is altogether likely that the
paving of Bayfield, street will be
delayed again for some little
time on account of the oversight
of the Engineer in charge in
providing storm sewers to take
care of the surface water.
Bids are now being advertised
for the construction of storm
sewer from 1st avenue east to
Washington avenue. This work
will be let by the Board of Pub
lie Works on the 18th OF the
present month, and the con-
tractor securing the job will be
urged to rush this work with all
possible speed.
At first it was planned by the
Engineer to carry off the surface
water down the avenues leading
from Bayfield, street but within
the past week it has been learn
ed that this plan has, been
abandoned and a storm sewer
will now be constructed.
City officials are hostile over
this latest delay in the paving
work, for it was their intention
to have the work we'll under way
at this time. The present delay
is not due to any fault of theirs.
Whether the paving work can
be started before the storm
sewer is laid does not seem to
have been decided, but it is
likely that the contractor will
start the work Of excavating and
preparing preliminary work be-
fore this time, and will rush the
paving as the sewer is COM
pleted.

Drowned at Island

Thomas Russell, a lad about
thirteen years of age, was
drowned at Madeline Island on
Tuesday evening at $50 o'clock
while in bathing. The body was
recovered immediately after the
accident but all efforts to revive
the lad failed.
The accident is made particu.
larly sad as this family has
suffered two like experiences
during the past three years.

Crop a Big One

The farmers in this section
have begun cutting their hay.
but the haying season will not
be on in full blast for a period
of one or two weeks, The hay
is of rank growth and some
difficulty has been experienced
in cutting it with moving
machines on account Of the
heavy stand.
One of the farmers says his
stand of hay is so heavy that a
number of men will have to be
employed to throw the hay away
from the moving machine while
the cutting is being done.
Weather conditions have been
fine this season for a bumper
hay crop. There has been
plenty of moisture in the ground
and the hay has made a wonder
full growth. The value of the
crop will be a big one to the
farmers.

Had a Big Time

The Norwegian Lutheran
church people of this city en-
joyed a fine time last Sunday
when the annual Sunday school
outing was held on the lake
shore near the pumping station.
No church services were held
during the day and the church
people packed their lunch bas-
kets and went to the lake shore
where a picnic dinner was held.
This was followed by speaking
by the pastor and songs by the
children and the choir, after
which the afternoon was spent
in visiting and enjoying tn
cool breezes from the lake.
A large number of people at
tended the outing and all en-
joyed the event immensely.

Nitric Acid House Burned
To Ground
Fire Occurred Tuesday Morn
ing Entailing Consider
able Loss.

There was a bad fire at the plant
of the Dupont Powder company
at Barksdale Tuesday morning
when the nitric acid house
caught fire and burned to the
ground. Three tanks of acid
were destroyed.
The cause of the fire is un-
known, but the employees say it
was caused by over-strong acid
coming in contact with wood.
Immediately upon discovery
of the blaze the plant fire de-
partment was called out but
efforts to save the building
failed and it was destroyed.
1t is altogether likely that the
building will be replaced i'm
mediately.

Mr.. Albert Stump is an ex-
ceptional strong public speaker.
His style is simple, direct, and
forceful; his thinking clear,
logical and vigor Gus. He has a
fine sense of humor, keen wit.
and a pleasing personality.
Back of all these qualities are a
long college training, the ex-
periences of student working
his way through a university.
and deep sense of the truest
patriotism. In all Mr.. Stump
has given over one hundred ad-
dresses for the Extension Divi-
sion of Indiana University and
in not one instance has his work
for us received an adverse cri-
ticism.

Several valuable additions
have been made to the reference
room in the form of the Readers
Guide (vols. 2 and 3 and THE
New international Encyclopedia

magazines have been bound dur
ing the year. Too much en-
phasis cannot be placed on the
value to the library of bound
files of magazines, which are an
absolute necessity for effective
reference work.

Work with Schools.
The work with the schools has
greatly increased during the
past year. The number of books
issued on teachers cards has in
creased from three hundred to
over four hundred. The count
would be much greater were the
books renewed every two weeks,
for many books have been in use
during the entire school year.
Singly and in groups the
students were taught the use of
the catalogue, Readers Guide,
etc. and it has been pleasing to
note the intelligent use they have
made of the literary books.
Story Hour.
A special story hour was con-
Quoted by Miss Halberg's train
ing class a few days before
Xmas. 1t was attended by one
hundred twenty-five children.
Lack of a story teller and lack
of time has prevented giving as
much attention to this important
work as otherwise would have
been possible.
Early in the winter posters
announcing the hours of open
ing, and an invitation of well
come were hung in all public
buildings, also through the
generosity of Mr.. Trowbridge
manager of the Temple Theatre,
slide was run for two months
in his theatre advertising the
hours of opening. and extending
cordial welcome to every man
woman or child in Washburn.
Further publicity work has been
done without charge by the
weekly papers in the form Of
book lists and notices for the
library. 1t is not known that
any strangers were directed to
the library by this means, how
ever, our reading room has been
patronized by a larger number
of men than ever before.
Owing to the rooms in the
basement not being properly
furnished and heated, the child
ren's room has and is being used
for various meetings. At several
of these meetings groups of
books and posters on the sub
jects considered were displayed
and the book circulated.
Circulation.
The table of statistics of this
report shows an increase of 3745
in circulation of books for home
use over last years report. This
does not include the Ais books
drawn on teachers cards which
included would make the total
circulation 20S02.

A CITY OF HOMES

The proudest title that city can
crave is to be called city of homes.
All cities have homes, Of course, but
what is meant is that the city has Il
superabundance of home and family
life, that heads of families, wives and
children are distinctive character
istic of their population.
Against this are the cities without
so many homes; where individual
houses have given way to apartment
houses; where all undue proportion Of
the marriageable populace are I'LL
married; where hotel life, boarding
house life. and all the other glittering
concotants Of metropolitanism flourish.
As for us, give us our hamlet with
the homes and homely people. There
is not SO much glare about it-but al
so not SO much tinsel.

Farmers who were saying last year
that there was no use to plant corn to
sell-that there would be no market
for it-have another thought coming
to them now. Corn is selling now at
S1.10 per bushel, and the local supply
is not near equal to the demand. Our
merchants have to buy it out of the
State. Mr.. Farmer, you had better
plant a good crop of corn this year.
Remember that the war is still on,
and the United States may yet get
into scrap with Mexico, and also
the prospect for scrap with Germany
has not yet disappeared. The wise
farmer will raise his food supplies at
home.
