For nearly twenty-five years DR..
Elsom has been an Apostle of the
Open Air" Since 1894 he has been
connected with the Department Of
Physical Education of the University
Of Wisconsin. Being an enthusiastic
amateur photographer, he has made
original illustrations for his series OF
attractive lectures, and all Of his Ian
tern slides are of exceptional merit.
When the Boy Scout movement
reached this country, DR.. ElsOm be-
came identified with it at once, be-
cause of his interest in the physical,
mental and moral development of the
young, and because Of his natural
fondness for prescribed activities of
the Scouts, and his experience along
the lines of Scoutcraft. In this con-
nection he has served as Scout Mas
summers has taught Scoutcraft in the
summer sessions of the University of
Wisconsin. In the summer of 1912
he was engaged by the National
Council of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea to give courses in their Institute
at Lake George, N. Y.
He has lectured extensively on
matters of Personal and Community
Hygiene, and on the Physical Exam
ination of School Children. His long
experience fits him admirably for
such a series of lectures, which are
suitable for educational institutions,
women's clubs, civic organizations,
Boy Scout troops, and general audi
ences.

Agreement Went Into Effect
on January First
Patrons are Helping to Make
Early Closing a Success
by Buying Early.

The old order of doing busi-
ness by the several merchants
of the city underwent quite
change on January 1st when the
early closing agreement went
into effect and now very few
places of business are to be
found open after $50 o'clock in
the evening.
The movement was started
some years ago by one or two
grocery stores and they found
the practice so satisfactory that
they have continued throughout
the past two years. The meet
ing was held by the clothing and
dry goods merchants, hardware
and furniture stores and meat
markets have also been prac-
ticing early closing for
some time but recently
the dry goods and clothing
merchants held a meeting at
which it was decided to begin
closing at 6:30 o'clock after
January 1st and this agreement
is now in effect in full force.
A number of the grocery stores
are also closing at the early
hour and it would not be sur
prising to see all of the stores
fall into line before very long.
One drug store is also closing at
an earlier hour.
There was a time when the
merchants thought it would not
be possible to continue IN busi-
ness if the early closing was
practiced but this theory has
long since been discarded and
throughout the country very few
places are to be found where the
stores remain open every even
ing.
The stores of the city will re-
main open on Saturday evenings
and on pay nights but at no
other time.

Talks on Sewage and Garbage Dis
posa, Water Supply, Roads
and Streets.

G. r. Bascom, Municipal and San1-
tary Engineer of the University Ex-
tension Division, who is to be here
for the Community Institute, In adj
dition to his talks will be glad to dis
cuss with local people any problems
In drainage, road or street construc-
ton, lighting, sewage and garbage
disposal, water works, and other well
fare projects under consideration by
the people of this community.
Mr.. Bascom has made special
study of these problems covering q
period Of some fifteen years. He is
a graduate of the Engineering School
of the University of Illinois and has
been associated with some OF the
foremost consulting engineers In the
United States. For a number OF
years Mr.. Bascom was actively en-
gagged on the contracting side of en-
gineering work, so he comes to us
fully qualified to take up such prob
lens in a practical way. He has
studied at first hand the best methods
used in more than two-thirds OF the
states Of this country in the solution
of these problems.
Mr.. Bascom is in charge of the
Municipal and Sanitary Engineering
Service which is being offered by the
Extension Division.

- Could Help Out

The car shortage which has
prevailed throughout tie coun-
try during the past six months
or more could be relieved to
large extent by the corporation
of the shippers and this is per-
haps the only method that would
relieve conditions mmediately.
Commenting on this phase Of
the question the Northern
Pacific railway management
says:
Commercial prosperity with,
out adeq uate transportation is
impossible. and at the present
time the railroad transportation
facilities of the United States
are wholly inadequate; therefore
any shipper who underloads or
delays a freight or fails to make
any possible readjustment of
his business which will tighten
the burner now placed upon the
railroads is not only dealing un-
fairly with the carriers, but is
also EN- barrassing the business
of the nation, including bis own.
This company owns AS, 900
freight cars, and it would re-
quire at least one years time
and seven million dollars to
build 4 800 more cars, but with
the cooperation of shippers we
could in one month, and without
any expenditure of money. show
an increase of ten per cent in
the average loading of cars now
employed and in connection
with the movement OF certain
commodities it would be possible
to increase the loading as much
as 25 or even so per cent.

Ed. M. HeermanS Arrives to
Begin Active Work.
Believes That this City Has
Great Possibilities
Before II.

One Of the first big thing that
was accomplished by the Com
mercial Club Of Washburn at
the beginning of the year 1917
was the hiring of a paid secre-
tary who will devote his entire
time toward securing industries,
working out civic problems,
getting freight rates equalized,
and all other work that will tend
to promote the interests of the
city.
The man who has been hired
for that position is Edward M.
Heermans of Minneapolis, a
man of experience as an indus
trial expert. Mr.. Heermans and
family arrived in the city on
Monday evening to make Wash
burn their home and Mr.. Heer-
mans is now actively engaged in
the work which he has chosen
for the year to come.
Mr.. Heermans comes to this
city with the very best of recon-
mendations. He is a native of
West Virginia, and in addition
to being an industrial expert is
an experienced newspaper man.
For the past two years Mr..
Heermans has been engaged in
the work as industrial writer in
northern Minnesota. Previous
to that time he spent three years
advertising the resources of the
Pacific coast states.
When asked for an interview
Mr.. Heermans said:
"It is early to indulge in
any predictions or to make any
extravagent promises as to what
we may be able to accomplish in
further developing the resources
and advantages Of Washburn.
"At some later time I shall
have something to say to the
public of this enterprising city
that is to be my future home. l
| do not want to bespeak for myself
and my work, patience upon the
part of the public and the with
holding of judgement until we
all get we'll acquainted and the
work is we'll under way.
"It will require some weeks,
perhaps months of hard work
and study on my part to assem-
| BILE all the facts and conditions
THAT exist here, so that when we
lcommit the Commercial Club on
paper or by interview, to any
project, or claims of advantages,
we will be perfectly sure of over
ground.
