GREAT DRIVE FOR
The Y; N. c. A.
Bayfield, County Expected to Raise a
Total Of $4,000.
Teams to Canvass Every Part Of Bayfield,
County in Great
Drive.

Beginning with the week of
November 11th a great drive is
to be made throughout the
United States to raise funds for
the Army and Navy Y. M. c. A.
which has done so much to add
to the comforts of the boys
stationed at the Army camps in
the United States and in the
Overseas service.
Whether or not you have felt
like subscribing to the many
other institutions pertaining to
this war there is no excuse why
you cannot give something to
the Y. M. G. A. for this is an
organization which helps to
make the life of the soldier more
pleasant.
The organization stands sore
ly in need of funds for the
financing Of it's great work. If
funds are not Forthcoming, it is
a question of but a very short
time before the Y. M. G. A. will
et
have to suspend it's work not
only in the camps on the battle
fields across the sea, but in the
camps and cantonments in our
own land.
In order to carry on this great
campaign F. 7. Beers of the
Dupont company has been pre-
vailed upon to act as manager
for the campaign in Bayfield,
county and he has chosen as
lieutenants Irwin r. Nye of
Bayfield,, G. HI. Werden Of Mason,
Byron Ripley of Iron River,
Martin Rogan of Cable, Frank
Bartlette of Drummond and w.
w. Wilmer of Washburn, and
these men will be assisted by
teams.
The campaign is nationwide
and will be carried on through
out the month of November.
Everyone by this time must
be fully cognizant of the
wonderful fine work the Y. is
doing for the soldier boys and
sailors for every letter that
comes from the boys at camp or
on the seas tells of the wonder
full work of the organization in
the way Of providing clean
amusement, supplying reading
material, etc. for the boys. With
out exception almost every
letter bears testimony that this
is the one agency that has an
eye to the moral well being of
the boys, the one agency that
caters to the comforts and con-
venience Of the private, the one
agency that gives helping hand
to make bearable their hours of
leisure.
In the campaign to be waged
Bayfield, county is asked to give
$4,000, a very small sum consider
ing the great work of this or
ganization and unless we miss
our guess the people of the coun-
ty will overscribe this fund as
they did the Liberty Bonds.
Our county has given four
times the amount to the Red
Cross, - and once our boys are on
the battle front, that bread
upon the waters will come
back to our people many fold.
The gifts bestowed right now
upon the Army and Navy Y.
will begin Immediately to bear
fruit, for the Y. is on the job
now. doing large things for our
boys. We might well match
every Red Cross dollar with a
Y. M. G. A. dollar.

Retiring Secretary
Given Grand Farewell
Everyone Sorry to See Secretary Ed. M.
Heermans and Family Leave
the City.

1t is seldom that anyone with
so short an acquaintance is given
such a farewell as was given
Executive Secretary Ed. M.
Heermans Of the Washburn
Commercial Club who left this
afternoon for his old horne in
West Virginia where he will
visit for a time before locating
permanently for in his leaving
the community will lose a man
whom they have learned to like
and admire, and who has had
much to do with the good feel
ing which prevails in the city at
the present time as the result of
his labors as Secretary of the
Commercial Club"
The banquet for the retiring
secretary was arranged by a
committee of the club and was
held at the Lamoreaux Hotel on
Tuesday evening. A very fine
roast beef supper was served by
Chef G. Hare of the Lamoreaux
at 7:3O o'clock and this was
followed by a short informal
program, Nels M. Oscar acting
as postmaster.
A number Of Washburn friends
of the secretary were called on
for remarks and the following
responded: F. w. Downs, Presi-
dent of the Club, D. M. Maxcy,
V. E. Brubaker, M. H.. Sprague,
Amos M. Hansen, T. A. Love-
land of Minneapolis and Mayor
A. w. Macleod. All expressed
deep regret at the fact that the
Secretary was leaving the city
and all extended tteir wishes
for the success of Mr.. Heermans
and family wherever they
might decide to locate.
Before the close of the eve
ming Toastmaster Nels M. Oscar
presented Mr.. Heermans with a
Government Liberty Bond, the
gift Of the club. The gift was
a complete surprise to the re-
firing secretary and in respond
ing Mr.. Heermans stated that
he would prize it as no other
gift which he had ever received,
for it would always serve to re-
mind him of the good fellowship
which had been shown and the
feeling which had been manifest
toward him during his stay in
the city. Mr.. Heermans said
that he had learned to like the
people Of Washburn in a differ
ent way than he had ever
learned to admire people before
for the relationship seemed to
be closer and more genuine, and
although he had been a resident
for the city for less than a year,
he would always feel and con-
slider that it was his home and
would be interested in any pro-
gress toward hetterment which
it might make.
Mr.. Heermans left this after
noon for Morgantown, West Va.
where he will visit for a time
with his parents before deciding
to loca tie, while Mrs. Heermans
and daughter Jane will leave for
the west where they will visit
for a time with Mrs. Heermans'
father, before leaving for the
east.
In their departure this city
looses very fine family and We
are all indeed sorry to see them
leave and the est wishes of all
will go with them wherever they
may go.

AVOID PERISHABLES

Such perishable crops as are needed
for family use should be grown, but
a surplus should be avoided by those
without experience in the production
and marketing of perishables We
respectfully urge and recommend that
those without such experience stick
to the production of those staple crops
which can be preserved for an indie
finite time or until proper market
conditions are developed. While pri-
ces for all food products cannot be
marketed successfully without the ac-
tive cooperation of the whole commun-
ity. Secure concerted action within
your community and, know at what
you are aiming before undertaking
the production of perishable crops in
excess of the amounts needed by the
family or the nearby town.

EVERY FARMER SHOULD
HAVE A GARDEN

In planning the garden bear in mind
the following suggestions:
The garden must be worked
The half-acre garden should be
made to produce fresh vegetables
twelve months in the year
In addition to supplying the needs
of the family while the vegetables
are fresh, the paintings must be suffi-
cient to supply an adequate store for
winter use Remember fresh vege
tables may be had for a longer season
if successive paintings at intervals
of two weeks or more are made rather
than planting all the seed at one time.
This applies to beans, English peas,
radishes, lettuce, spinach, turnips, and
other vegetables.
A half-ae garden well planned
and cared for this year will contribute
at least $4,000 to the living A sur
plus supply of fruits and vegetables
must be saved for winter csc by cam
ming, preserving, extracting juices,
drying or curing and preserving in
natural form.
The following crops may be sup
piled: Sufficient cabbages should be
planted to have surplus for sauer
kraut. Peaches, apples, and pears
should be dried. Sufficient butter or
lima beans, Mexican beans, navy
beans, blaelseyed peas, or any other
garden or field peas should be planted
to furnish not only a supply while
fresh, but also to give big surplus
to be matured and gathered dry for
winter use.
Pole beans or eorntield beans should
be made to supply surplus for the
winter. An extra supply of fall tur-
nips, beets, and carrots should be
saved for winter use by banking.
Parsnips will remain sound if left
in the ground late in the season, and
each garden should have few rows.
Onions can be pulled and saved
when mature and shallots can be
planted for winter use.
Pumpkins and squash can be saved
late in the season. and every family
can have them by dropping few
seed in the corn field.

ARKANSAS PEOPLE PATRIOTIC

Little Rock, April 10-Now that the
inevitable has happened and the Uni
ted States has been forced into the
world war on the side Of the Allies,
the neutrality that kept the people of
Arkansas quiet fer the last three
years has broken down. the restraint
has been removed, and the actual
feelings of the people are coming to
the surface The pro-German senti-
ment has become negligible, and even
negative, and the Pacifist group is
dwindling until it is very small, and
confined to a few Socialists and others
who are eonseientiously opposed to
war under any conditions.
The patriotism of the people of
Arkansas, when the supreme test
comes, will be found as great as that
of any state in the Union. Flags are
flying everywhere, loyalty meetings
are being held recruiting for the
National Guard the Navy, and the

WHO'S WHO IN UNIFORMS

Washington, April 30.-Not one
civilian out Of hundred can tell an
officers rank by his insignia. In
these war days when an officer is re-
quired to wear his uniform at all
times it's easy to tell the rank if
you remember the simple allegory.
Generals have stars on their Shout
der straps; colonies have an eagle;
lieutenant colonies have maple
leaf; majors an oak leaf; captains
two bars: first leatenants one bar;
and second lieutenants no bar at all.
The allegory:
The second lieutenant enters the
service at the bottom with the future
before him, hence he has no desig-
mating mark. The first lieutenant
has climbed one bar of the ladder,
hence one stripe on his shoulder strap.
When the captaincy has been reached
he has climbed another bar and wears
two stripes.
After the two bars comes the oak
sails the eagle and the blue vault of
the heavens above all others are the
stars-the leaves the major and lieu
tenant colonel, the eagle the colonel
and the stars the general.

MAKE EVERY ACRE
PRODICE DOUBLE

Every acre of land this year should
be made to produce double. Corn
planted in six-foot rows should have
9 row of cow-peas, soy beans, pea
UNITS, or velvet beans planted between
the rows of corn. Corn planted in
closer rows should have one of the
above crops planted in the rows with
the corn. This can best be done "a
bout the time Of the first or second
cultivation Broadcast sowing of
peas at laying-by time is not adVisa-
bic this year. Only those methods
of planting most certain to give high
production should be practieed
Cowpeas, soy beans, sorghum, and
Sudan grass this year should be
planted in rows and should be cult
waited. This method requires much
less seed for planting, produces more
abundantly, and very nearly as much
forage as does broadcast planting.
Velvet beans have proven their val
ue IN this state Inc early varieties,
if planted reasonably early, mature
an abundance of beans which can be
gathered by hand picking or by pas
turing to cattle and hogs. One peck
of velvet beans, costing about 40 or
80 cents. is sufficient for an acre of
corn, while more cowpeas are re
quired, and the cost per bushel is
greater

The response to the appeal Of the
Government for civilians to join the

18th. for the training of the First
Ten Thousand" officers, has been SO
unexpectedly large that the maximum

New Mexico and Arizona, has already
been reached, and Major General j.
Pershing has been obliged to order all
recruiting Offices to suspend their
activities in those states

with headquarters at Charleston, ,.
c. under the command of Major l..
Wood. was established on May LIST,

Logan H. Roots, which pretains to
these two states and to Mississippi,
passes from the jurisdictiln OF the
Southern Department to that OF the
new Southeastern Department The
total enrollments for this camp now
amount to 1,268, and recruiting will
continue until the remaining ,232
