START WORK ON
PAVING JOB
Welch & Company Have a Crew Of
Mem on the Job
Expect to Complete Work Of Laying
Paving in Thirty Days When
Work Starts

The work of paying west Bay
field street from 3rd avenue
west to 9th avenue west was
started the latter part of last
week with the digging Of the
trenches in which will be laid
the curb and gutter. This part
of the work, as we'll as the laying
of the surface sewer, will be
completed in the shortest pos.
sible time when the excavating
for the paving will be begun.
There is but a small portion of
of earth to be removed in the
excavating and this will be used
in making fills over ravines on
west Bayfield, street.
Welch & Company, who have
the contract, expect to have a
large crew of men on the job
lin a few days and they say
that when the work of laying the
paving is started thatit will be
finished in a period of thirty days.
The type of paving to be used
on west Bayfield, is the asphaltic
concrete which is concrete with
a top coat of asphalt. It will
make fine paving when COM
pleted and is guaranteed for a
period of five years.
The width of the street has
been narrowed down to "a feet
by the board of Public Works
and this action has met with
some opposition from the prop
erty owners on west Bayfield,
street who were desirous Of see
ing the same width paving laid
on the balance Of the street as
was laid on the first block west
of Washington avenue.

grocerymen and meat men was
held at the Commercial Club
rooms last evening for the pur-
pose OF discussing the delivery

power. The dealers are anxious
to have some firm or person
make them proposition for
taking over the delivery of their
goods, and these bids can be
left with ID. M. Maxcy of the
County Defense council or w.
A. Robinson of the City Defense
council.
The Government urges the

Treated the Boys

In the write-up of the de-
parture of the Soldier boys last
week one item which was not
mentioned was the gift of cigars
and tobacco TO the members of
the entire com pany by Nels
Westerlund, the lower Bayfield,
street merchant. Previous TO the
departure of the boys Mr.. Wes-
terlund presented all with
tobocco and cigars and the boys
appreciated his gift very much.
Mr.. Westerlund's heart is al.
ways in the right place in mat,
ters of this kind and had it not
been for some friend telling of
the gift it might have escaped
notice.

Farmer BjOrk Alleges His Crops
We're Ruined.
Says that Acid Fumes from Dynamite
Plant at BarkSdale Destroyed
Crops.

Claiming that the acid fumes
from the plant of DUPONT COM
pany at Barksdale blow across
his farm and that as a result he
and his family are suffering the
loss of their health and that the
growth of crops on the farm are
retarted, Jacob Bjork, a farmer
residing near the plant, has
started action in the Federal
court against the E. |. DUPONT
deNemours & Company for
$500 damages.
The case has been brought for
trial in the Federal court at
Superior and will be tried before
Judge Evans. A jury was drawn
on Monday for the trial of the
case but the trial was adjourned
until September 20. The papers
showing why this case should be
tried in the federal court make a
bulky file.
Bjork contends that the
sulphuric and nitric acid fumes
from the plant blow across his
farm at times and resemble
dense smoke doing wholesale
damage to almost every living
thing. His legal description of
his troubles resembles in ways
the articles written OF the gas
attacks on the firing lines in
France.

GAME LAWS
ARE CHANGED
Applications Must be Made for 1unt-
ing Licenses.
Only Residents of the United States are
Entitled to Resident Hunting
Licenses.

Persons seeking hunting
licenses this season will find that
some important changes have
been made in the game laws
since last year and that it will
be mere difficult to obtain hunt
ing licenses than it has been in
the past.
This season no person can Sc
cure a hunting license unless
he is a citizen of the United
States, and no person can secure
a hunting license who is not past
fifteen years of age. In former
years persons having first papers
could secure hunting license.
Under the law hunting
license cannot be issued without
a regular application. The appli-
cation blanks must be properly
filled out as to name, age,
height, weight, color of eyes,
color Of hair, etc. and these must
be acknowledged before a
Notary Public, Justice of the
Peace or other officer authorized
by law to acknowledge oaths.
The department will prosecute
any person making a false state
ment for the purpose of obtain
ing a hunting license.
The prieexsof the hunting
license is the same this year as
last with this exception. A per-
son desiring to hunt deer mu st
secure a deer tag at an addition
al cost of ten cents. The deer
tag may be ordered at the time
application is made for the
license or at any time after the
license is issued.

Fair To Be Greatest
Ever Held In County
EARN and Stock Displays Will be I'm
menSe; Amusement Program Fiue.

On account Of the exc 'ssively fin,
crop, in this portion of the state
this year. all Indications point thai
the Northern Wisconsin State fair
to be held in Chippewa Falls, Sept,
II 21 will be the greatest since its
organization.
The patriotic sentiment that is
sweeping the state has also in
creased local pride and made the
public in general take more interest
in the welfare of their own particu-
lar localities and il is thought that
people will bring exhibits this year
and enter them as much ont of local
pride and to show that they are
working for the interest of the
county and state as they will for the
prizes offered by the fair associa-
tion.
Each man in these stirring times
has feeling that even if he is too
old or too young to fight the battles
of his country, that he should do all
in his power to show that he has It's
welcome at heart, and in this spirit
that is going to make the Northern
Wisconsin State Fair he greatest
in the history of Chippewa County
While there is no doubt that the
agricultural exhibits will be CROUCH
to satisfy the lovers of fine stock
and farm produce. the management
has seen to it that the younger peo
pie and those not interested in
things PASTORAL shall have the
greatest feast of en- ntertainment that
has ever been given them on an
occasion Of this kind.
The celebrated Zouave's band, 3,
one of the finest in the country,
will play every day of the fair. and
to lovers of good music this will be
agreat treat, for the opportunity
to hear such band as this does
not come often.
To those whose business or home
duties will not allow them to attend
the fair in the day time, the eIabor
ate arrangements that the associa
ton has made to have the evening S
displays of fireworks surpass any
thing ever given at the fair before,
will be appreciated, and not by
them alone, for there is something
interesting aud attractive about a
beautiful display of fireworks t.
everybody.
There is no doubt but that the
coming fair will be memorial one
aud everyone should try to arrange
their business affairs so that they
can enjoy its amusements every
day.

Why a Fine?

On Tuesday of This week a
human being calling himself a
man appeared before Municipal
Judge George A. Calder and
plead guilty to the charge Of
parading his nude form on the
lake shore near the city limits.
Three little children, ages from
nine to twelve years, brought
about the arrest of this fellow.
These children, according to
their story and we do not doubt
for a minute but that they were
telling the truth, stated that
they were playing on the lake
shore near the public bathing
beach when this fellow appeared
from among the bushes stripped
of his clothing and started to
chase them, ard even went so
far as to grab one of lht N by
the arm. They also told Of some
Of the things that he said that
was enough to shock much
older person, The children
made their way as fast as their
legs could carry them to the
Sprague summer home and
Mrs. Sprague notified the police.
Chief Markey made his way
do wn to the tracks when he met
the children and secured dis
cription of the man. He then
made for the beach where a
fellow was still nude and he
arrested the man who entered a
plea of guilty before Judge
Calder. He was given a fine Of
ten dollars and costs.
The children said they Gould
identify the man had they been
given chance and they also
could have related their story.
In many places outside of Wash
burn fellows of this description
would have not been dealt with
so lightly, but in addition to a
fiue would have been given q
Jail sentence TO think over what
they had done.

Bayfield, County Chapter Assigned
Big Burden.
Urgent Appeal for Knitted Articles
Comes Forward From France and
All Must Help.

Every Red Cross Chapter in
the United States as we'll as the
numerous branch chapters have
a large amount of work before
them during the next month or
so in order to relieve suffering
which is bound to come to our
soldiers and the soldiers of our
Allies unless the greatest efforts
are put forth by the home peo-
pie.
The great need of the work to
be done was explained to the
officers and committees of the
Bayfield, County Red Cross
Chapter by Field Secretary Geo.
G.. Goltz at a meeting held at the
Commercial Club rooms in this
city Tuesday morning.
The greatest call is for knitted
goods, the factories of the coun-
try being unable to turn out
the garments in time to prevent
suffering, and the ladies organi-
cations of the country are ap-
pealed to to lend their aid in the
work. Bayfield, county must
furnish 200 sweaters, 200 muff-
lers, 200 pairs of wristlets and
200 pairs Of sox. These must be
forwarded before cold weather
sets in so that they will be re-
ceived by the soldiers in time to
prevent suffering.
The following telegram has
been received by Nels Myhre,
chairman of the Bayfield, County
Chapter of the Red Cross society
and copies are being forwarded
to the branch Chapters. The
telegram is as follows.
Chicago, ILL.,, August 25th.
Nels Myhre, Chairman

Red Cross has urgent call from
Major Grayson Murphy for
enormous quantity of knitted
wollen articles. Here is Cable
gram from Major Murphy. Last
winter broke record for cold and
misery among people here in
expressible. Dread coming
winter finding us without sup
plies to meet situation. Urge on
behalf of our soldiers and those
of our Allies who will suffer in
their frozen trenches and also
thousands of French and
Belgium refugees and repatriates
being returned through Switzer-
land to France. Everyone here
looks to America. Begin ship
ing at once one million five hun
dred thousand each of warm
knitted wollen articles already
requested. They must come be-
fore cold weather and in view of
shortage of fuel and other dis
comforts they will be Of incredit-
able value both in military and
civilian work."
We ask your chapter to fur
nish definite number of this
requirement. Your allotment
is 200 sweaters, 200 muflers, 200
pairs wristlets, 200 pairs socks.
Full instructions will follow in
two days. Ask your members
to finish all knitting work now
on hand and clear the deck for
action. We want every chapter
to have a chance to do its part
in making good on this call for
help from France. Chapter
Chairman requested to place
copy of foregoing in hands of
all newspapers with request to
give full publicity to this first
call, then get knitting comm ittee
together and have them line up
for rush work.
