Consignment Shipped to Richmond
Packing House.
Two More Car Lots to be Shipped from
this Vicinity During Next
Week.

That Bayfield, county and es-
pecially the section Of country
surrounding this city is fast
coming to the front as a dairy
ing and stock raising section
was demonstrated on Tuesday
when the first full car Of stock
was shipped from this city to
the new Cooperative Packing
establishment at New Richmond,
Wis. The car contained twenty
five head.
Twenty Of the number were
furnished by one farmer, Max
Buss of Nash, while the remain
der were furnished by other
farmers. Buss had a total of
fifty-two head Of cattle but he
only expects to winter over
about thirty head.
Mr.. E. G.. Stevens of this city,
accompanied by Mr.. Buss, was in
charge of the car which was
shipped Tuesday. Mr.. Stevens
announces that two more car
loads will be shipped from this
vicinity during the coming week
and that a car will be shipped
nearly every week during the
fall.
Beef cattle are bringing good
prices at the present time, but
the indications are that the
market will be higher. Because
of high prices of hay and feed
stuff many Of the farmers are
disposing of their surplus stock
and are getting rid of their
cattle which are poor milk cattle.

Ask Resignation or Impeachment Of
Senator LaFOllette.
kilograms Forwarded to President Of
Senate and Also to Senior
Senator.

w aSnDurn clC1ZenS, repre-.
sented through the Washburn
Loyalty League, a secret or
ganization which has been
formed in this city since the
outbreak of the war, in tele-
grams forwarded to Washington
on Sunday evening, ask the i'm
parchment or resignation of
Senator Robert M. LaFollette.
The Washburn Loyalty League,
it is known, is composed of over
one hundred members, and it is
said to be the strongest organi-
cation the city has ever known,
willing TO go to all ends to assist
the government in the present
world war, by putting a stop to
seditious talk, causing the arrest
of enemies of the Government.
and assisting in every way
possible to bring victory to
United States arms.
The league, it is said is repre-
sentative of all classes, and is
composed of as loyal a bunch of
citizens as can be found in the
United States.
When and where the meeting
was held has not been learned,
neither can it be learned who
are the leaders in the organiza-
ton, but the following resolu-
tions have been forwarded as
coming from that organization:
President of the Senate,
Washington, D. G.
One thousand citizens of this
city hereby unite in protest in
appealing to the Senate Of the
United States that our senior
Senator Robert M. LaFollette be
impeached for his reasonable
utterances and disloyalty to our
government. With regret do we
hereby indict the Senator TO
criminal sedition.
Robert M. LaFollette,
United States Senate,
Washington, D. G.
One thousand citizens Of this
city hereby unite in a protest
against your continued disloyal
utterances and we demand that
you tender your resignation to
the president of the senate
forthwith, or suffer from the
consequences. A long suffering
Wisconsin electorate refuses to
be longer disgraced by your
seditious acts and words.
Washburn Loyalty League.
Dispatches telling of the
passage of the resolutions have
appeared in newspapers general
ly throughout the northwest
during the forepart of the week,
and from the resolutions it ap-
pears that the League means
business.

Five hundred young homing pigeons
Of the finest stock are being purchased
by the United States Signal Corps and
distributed among various govern

coast, it was learned yesterday At the
reservations the carrier birds will be
trained TO take an important part IN
the work Of coast defence. In using
the birds, the American government is
following the example of Great Britain,
which has found the pigeons Of great
value in connection with aerial and
naval operations.
Officials of the Signal Corps said
yesterday that nearly all the pigeon
fanciers in this country are Germans.
