Conditions Found to Be Satisfactory
by State Inspector
Few Minor Changes Suggested but on
Whole Conditions We're
in Fine Shape.


Miss Reynolds of Madison, in
spector of the teachers training
departments and also Inspector
of grades, was in the city during
the past week inspecting these
departments in the Washburn

of the schools is directly under
the charge of the state and the
state inspectors.

To Round Them Up

A general roundup of desert
ers, men who have failed to re-
port for military duty, is to be
made by the United States and
the government is going to offer
a reward, as the following tele-
gram would Indicate.
September %, 1917.
"A reward of fifty dollars is
payable for the delivery at the
nearest army camp or post of a
deserter. This is in full salts
faction Of all expenses incurred
in said delivery. A person who
fails to. report to his local
board for military service at the
time specified in his order to re-
port is a deserter. A person
who fails to report for military
service to the Adiutant General
of the state by the date specified
in the order of the Adjutant
General to said persons is a
|deserter. 1t is highly desirable
from every standpoint that an
effort now be made to round up
all persons who are delinquent
in reporting for military service.
It is thought that if the fact of
reward is given the widest pub
licity we shall have a great force
of police officers and even of in
dividuals interested in bringing
such delinquents under military
contr oil. Ii, after such persons
are brought to military author
ity, it appears to the military
authority that their delinquency
is not wilful they will be for
warded to a mobilization camp
and their local board will be
given credit. If it appears that
the delinquency was wilful they
will be prosecuted before court
marshal as deserters. In either
case the reward is payable.
Crowder."

Seattle, Wash.
September "a, 1917
To the Mayor of Washburn, Wis.
Dear Sir:
note by this mornings Post In
telligencer that the Loyal Citizens of
Washburn have addressed an appeal
to the President of the Senate of the
United States asking that Senator
Robert M. La Toilette of the State
of Wisconsin be impeached.
AS former resident of the City
of Washburn, take this opportunity
of expressing my sentiments concern
ing this man, who through his words
and actions in Congress and elsewhere
has so disgraced the nation, and
more especially the good State of
Wisconsin, that all loyal and patriotic
Americans are justly aroused to the
necessity for some action that will
eliminate his unamerican influence.
1t is meet that the people of the
great state of Wisconsin, whose
citizenship represents in the super
lative degree all that is truly Am eri-
can, should initiate some messure
that will remove from the represen-
tative and governing body of our
democratic and Liberty-loving nation
an influence so damably pro-German
and unamerican.
am proud to learn that Wash
burn, my home town, God bless her
has been the first to show to the
world, by her action in appealing to
the president of the Senate for the
impeachment of Senator La Toilette,
that he does not represent the peo-
pie of Wisconsin in this great crisis.
| most earnestly hope that the
good people of Wisconsin will give
their unanamous support to you OF
the City of Washburn in your effort
to remove from the fair name Of the
State of Wisconsin the stain put
upon it by any traitorous fanatic,
and that you succeed in removery
Senator Robert M. LaFollette.
Very sincerely yours,
/. Comeaux

PROGRESS MADE
ON PAVING JOB
Excayating on West Bayfield, Street
Being Rushed
Concrete Mixing Machines and Other
Material Will Be Put to Work
Last of Week.

Great progress is being made
on the paving job by the C. I.
Welsh Company who have the
contract. During the past week
a crew of men and teams assist
ed by engines, etc. have been
engaged in eXcavating the dirt
from the street and this has
been hauled to the fills along the
street where it Is being used by
the city. The first block is being
completed in shape for the con-
crete base.
The Welsh Company concrete
mixing machines and other
equipment arrived yesterday and
will be put to work the latter
part of the present week or the
first part of next week laying
the concrete base. AS the ex-
cavating is completed the con-
crete base will be laid and when
all work has been compiled up to
this stage the top dressing of as
phaltic concrete will be given.
The Welsh company are
anxious to finish the laying Of
the concrete base before cold
weather sets in but with as
phaltic concrete weather does
not interfere as this material is
put on while it is,hot.
It is expected Vat the entire
job will be completed before the
last part of October. The paw
ing will be fine one when COM
pIeted and will add to the beauty
of the west end of the city.

Roads in Bad Shape.
quarters.

The City of Washburn should
give some attention to the con-
dition of the roads leading into
the city which are in the city
limits. The road near the Raarup
corner is in frightful condition
and SO badly cut up that travel
by automobile is awful. This is
dirt road which is worn out.
The immense amount of travel
has cut the road up and it is
getting worse. Not great deal
of work is needed to put this
road in fair condition but it
needs that attention.
The same condition is to be
found below the box factory for
a distance of about four hundred
feet. The city started the work
of graveling this piece of road
but never completed the job.
This road has been full of holes
all summer and nothing has
been done to improve it.
The work of one or two teams
and a couple of men for day or
so would fix both of these pieces
OF highway up. Why is it not
attended to?

Women Filling Up Shortage Of Labor
at One Institution
Prove as Efficient at Light Work as Men
and Boys. More to be
Employed. .

Dressed in dainty brown over
all bloomers eight young women
started work at the plant of the
enfield-Lamoreaux company
in this city Monday morning and
since that time the number has
been increased and the company
officials announce that in all
total of more than twenty
women will be given employ
ment at their institution.
The women are working on
machines where the work is
light and they will be worked
according to the hour limit for
women which is 55 hours per
week. The women seem to like
the work first rate and are
proving as efficient as men and
boys for the positions at which
they have been placed.
The employment of women at
the factory was made necessary
on account of the shortage of
men and boys and it provides
the ladies a means of earning
more wages than before.
The company have made work
ing conditions as pleasant as
possible at their institution. A
rest room has been fitted up on
the upper floor of the building,
equipped with rockers, chairs.
tables, lavatories, toilet, etc.

Unless automobile \ drivers
take more precautions when
they are crossing the railroad
tracks near the Kenfield-Lamor-
eaux box factory there is going
to be serious accident some of
these days in which one or more
persons will be killed,
Because the track leading to
the box factory is a switch track
automobile owners pay little at
tention to this crossing, Head
Switchman j. d. Manning was
standing on the crossing the
other evening while a train was
backing out from the box fact
ory. and just then an automobile
came along at fast rate of
speed. The driver paid no at
tention to the train or to Mr..
Manning until he was within
a few feetaof the track and then
had to turn off short and run
toward the box factory o4fce in
order to avoid being gi0und
under the wheels.
One accident has already
occurred on this crossing this
season and others will follow un-
less fhe automobile drivers re-
member that this switch track
is used by trains.

Go About Your Canning in the
Proper Way-Prevent
Waste and Do Not Use Too
Much Sugar-Facts About
Jars, Cans and Pans-Jelly
That Will Not Jell-Combin-
ing Fruits in Canning Brings
Good Results.

Prepare for fruit canning in the right
way. A 1ong-sleeved apron Of red cot
ton material will not show stains and
viii save good aprons. Pieces OF old
material for holders and cloths to wipe
utensils will likewise save good toweling
and the table will be absolutely clean if
several layers Of newspaper are spread
over 1t. II there Is any danger of juice
being dropped upon a good floor or limo
leum, papers should be spread there also.
Metal jar lids corroded from dampness
may be made as bright as new by being
kept for several hours In hot water. to
which a large amount of baking soda has
been added. Put the solution and the
lids into granite pan and let stand on
the back OF the stove.
When rubber rings become hard their
elasticity can be restored by leaving them
for half an hour in a mixture composed
Of ono part ammonia and two parts water.
Don't try to hurry when making pre-
serves, jellles or jams. They require
great care combined with the best ma
terials and exact measurements to insure
success Use graduated sugar for all
preserves, jellies and jams. and heat in
the oven before adding to the fruit Juice.
Do not cover while cooking. Do not allow
tin. iron or pewter to touch jams or pre-
serves, as any Of these are liable to spoil
the color. Boil fast to further preserve
the color Of the fruit, and keep well stir
red Remove all scum as 1t rises. Boil
until on dropping a little on a plate it
jellies.
When Jelly will not jell, and that hap
pens sometimes, do not turn 1t back into
q saucepan to cook it over, for that breaks
the little gelatined globues that have
formed. even though not enough to make
jell, and you will have at best a sticky,
stringy mess. Instead, take a large drip
ping pan, half fill it with water, set the
