BAYFIELD,

Press.
The Board CT Control OF Bay
fields new cooperative organiza
tion. held a meeting on MONDAY
evening at the office of the bayfield,
Peninsula Fruit Association. The
session was called for the purpose
of choosing name for the organi-
cation and for the election OF othcers
committee appointments and taking
up other business necessary toward
getting the organization started
upon the work for which it was
brought forth.
Mrs. William C'Malley was the
victim of near-accident one day
the first of the week. AS a result
of the experience she is confined TO
her home. Mrs. O'Malley was
coming down the hill on Firststreet
near the st Mary Institute, pushing
her little baby in the cutter when
she was hit by a bob-sled Oelng
used by a mum Der of girls in coast
ioo down the hill. She was struck
with such force that she was
knocked down and dragged for a
considerable distance, together with
the baby and the cutter. Although
the runners were torn completely
off the cutter, fortunately the child
was not injured, undoubtedly due
to the fact that Mrs. O'Malley
shielded the little one as much as
possible, and ustained practically
all of the shock of the impact.
This is the first accident on the
local hills this season, but it should
be fair warning to the young peo-
pie to use greater care in the en-
ioyment of their win ter pastme.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Smith,
were up from Washburn Wednes
day to attend the funeral of Mrs.
Nels. Drouillard.
F. E. Holston. Jr., went over to
Ashland on Wednesday and brought
his little son home. The little
fellow recently underwent an
operation in the hospital at Ash
land. Mrs. Holscon who was also
operated upon, is getting along
very nicely

PINE TREES OF FINLAND.
They and the Birches Are the Wealth
of the Country.

They and the Birches Are the Wealth
of the Country.
The pine trees of Finland are the
gold mines of the country and really
it's chief trade. Pines and silver
birches flourish on all sides. Every
thing or anything can apparently be
made of birch bark in Finland. Shoes,
baskets, large or small, salt bottles.
flower vases, even an entire suit OF
clothing is hanging up in Helsingfors
museum, manufactured from the bark
Of the silver birch.
The lakes of Finland. of which there
are five or six thousand, cover about
a sixth of the country, but these lakes,
rivers and waterways all take their
share in the wood trade In the au-
tumn the trees are felled and left for
the first fall of snow, when they are
dragged two or three one behind the
other.
By this means the trees are convey
cd to the nearest waterway, where
they are stamped with the owners
registered mark and rolled upon the
ice of lake or river to await the natu-
raj transport of spring. On the vOy
Ige those soldiers of the forest travel
hundreds of miles to the coast. till
finally arriving at such an enormous
wood export STATEN as Kotka they
meet their doom.
On the completion of the floating
season the stock Of logs at Kotka often
amounts to 100000. On arrival at
their destination they are separated
and distributed according to the marks
of their respective owners. Large
floating houses await their arrival. The
steam sawmills are waiting for the
trees. As they go in half a dozen
saws run into them at. once. and out
come boards and planks of various
thicknesses and widths.

Protest Against War

The following resolutions were
adopted at a mass meeting held
at the Union Hall a week ago
and copies have been forwa rded
to the Preside MT.
Washburn, Wis.
Feb. 10, 1917.
Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President
United States of America.
Honorable SIR
By public Mass meeting of
the citizens of the city of Wash
burn, Wisconsin, the question of
the United States entering into
the European conflict was dis
cussed and opposed and the fol-
lowing resolutions were unani-
mously adopted.
Whereas America stands in
immediate danger of being en-
broiled in the dreadful war now
raging throughout Europe.
Whereas the cause of this
danger is the threat made to
sink all ships entering a speci-
fled zone and
Therefore be it resolved, That
we believe it would be for the
best interest of America for our
President and Congress to avoid
this great danger.
First: By postponing adjust
ments of disputes until after
the European conflict.
Second: By keeping American
citizens off belligerent ships.
Third: By refusing clearance
to vessels carrying contraband.
Fourth: By withdrawing pro-
lection to American citizens
travelling on such ships.
Fifth: By keeping the Ameri-
can craft out of the danger zone.

FROM A CITY GARDEN.

r HAVE a garden radiant
Within the moiling city's heart,
Fairer by far than any haunt
i OF piping Pan, where fresh
springs start,
For Love hath made it his,
And he the gardener is.
I have a garden all vine clad
That yearns into the upper air,
Lifting light fingers to seize the glad
Sweet sun and hold him captive there,
Imprisoned in bright flowers
Against the sunless hours.
III.
I have a garden full of fern,
All feathery with foamy green,
In many nook, from many an urn,
1t lifts up laughter for screen
To shield my lady sweet
From the clamor Of the street
w.
have a garden walled about
To hide us from the mad worlds dtn
But, oh, instead of keeping out
I long to let the sad world in
To share the magic powers
OF my quiet healing flowers.

Some exclusive clubs are next to i'm
possible to break into, such as the Cor
sair club, which the late J. Pierpont
Morgan founded, for example, but they
have nothing on one world known or
ganizatiOn which keeps houses waiting
years and years for the privilege of be
coming one of its customers. This con
Germ only has ten or twelve customers
i'll America. 1t has refused for years
to have more, and it's methods of do
ing business are amazingly independ
ent.
To illustrate: If you want to buy
goods you write and ask when you can
see them. Then a date is set, but in
stead of a salesman calling at your Of
fee you pack your little grip, sail to
England and take a taxi to Holborn
viaduct, London. Here such goods as
the house cares to show are spread be-
fore you. You look at them, take or
leave, as suits your pleasure, and If
you buy you pay the price stated with
out bubble or question. Sometimes
the price is $150000, sometimes $780,
900, and incidentally the transaction is
invariably G. o. D.
If perchance you don't like what is
shown you go home empty handed
there is nothing else to do. One man
hemmed and hawed and hesitated for
an hour on one occasion, and on in
quiry he explained that he didn't quite
like the goods, so the representative
babe him good day. and it was some
thing over two years before he was
given an opportunity to either like or
dislike the houses wares again.
The concern is the London Diamond
syndicate, owners Of the South Afri
can diamond mines, the De Beers, Pre-
mier and the balance Of the earth's
producers of fine stones. It's annual
business with the United States totals
about $1OO00,000, and its expense for
statesmen runs a little less than moth.

THE hand that rocks the cradle is the

Was true, no doubt, when babies still in

Excepting merely-in aside-with strict re-

That it was mostly mothers foot that did
the rocking act.

But love is blind, and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit
The man that hath no music in himself
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet
sounds,
Is fit for treasons strategems and spoils
The motions Of his spirit are dull as night
And his affections dark as Erebus.

Nobody weighed the threads Of care

Nobody weighed the baby's soul,
For here on earth no weights
