To Organize Chapter.

A meeting has been called to
be held at the Com mercial Club
on Saturday evening of this
week at which a branch chapter
of the Wisconsin Loyalty Legion
will be organized. Like chapters
are being organized throughout
Wisconsin and the object of the
legion is to assist the govern.
ment in building up an army
and navy, helping to con-
serve food supplies, looking
after labor conditions, putting a
stop to seditions talk.
The work of the league is
similar to the Council of De-
tense and the. mem bers of the
latter organization are asked to
be present at the meeting so
that one organization will not
overlap on the work of the other.
Charles F. Morris is in charge
Of the work Of organizing the
Loyalty Legion chapter and as
many citizens as can should at
tend the meeting to be held
Saturday night.

Says Article was Wrong.

Ed. Plant, President of the
Bayview Community Club, has
called our attention to state
ment in our last issue, which he
says was wrong, in connection
with the write'up of the meeting
held by farmers and business
men.
. In the article we stated that
the farmers objected to being
discounted ten per cent when
they demanded cash for their
produce, but insisted that the
discount be only five per cent.
Mr.. Plant states that the far
mers are willing to take the ten
per cent discount from the re-
tail price where cash is paid for
their produce, but he says that
some of the merchants of the
city insist on ever a larger dis
count. which the farmers con-
slider is unfair.
The merchants and the far
mers now have com mittees ap-
pointed to talk over this propo
sition and they will report to a
meeting to be held in the near
future.

a Monster Exhibition
At County Fair Grounds

The stock exhibit was large
and fine. The old building, as
we'll as the new one was filled to
capacity with fine stock of all
kinds. This part of the fair at
tracted those interested in stock.
In the poultry line the exhibits
were not as large as year ago,
but what were there were fine.
H. A. Smith, the poultry man
from the town of Washburn,
made a good showing and cap
tured a number of prizes.
The exhibit by the Bayfield,
County Red Cross Charpter in
charge of Mrs. j. P. Jacobson
and Mrs. Alvord, and the exhibit
of the County Defense council
in charge of Miss Mata Fluck
and Mrs. Alvord attracted much
attention. The Defense Council
exhi hited war bread, made from
different INGREDIENTS, and Miss
Fluck lectured on the making of
it. This booth was certainly
fine. It showed the work being
accomplished by these two or
ganizations.
Many of those who attend the
fair for the purpose of seeing
the harness races were some
what disappointed for horsemen
failed to put in an appearance
this season, due to misunder-
standing. Several pony races,
and several automobile races and
a motor cycle race were staged
tut these failed to thrill the
people interested in harness
races.
The grounds and buildings at
the fair grounds were in better
shape than ever before and the
Bay field County fair has gained
a reputation of being one of the
best in the state.

The store will sell strictly for

Record Breaking Attendance Present
on Second Day.
Exhibits of Live Stock, Poultry, Grains,
Vegetables and Other Items
Biggest Ever.

In other counties of Wisconsin
they make the noise but in Bay
field county they raise the pro-
duce. This is demonstrated at
every annual fair held in Bay
field county and the reputation
of the county as a farming Sec
tion is spreading throughout the
Northwest.
TheAannual fair held at the
Iron River grounds this week
has eclipsed all others in num-
Der of entries and the extent of
the exhibits. No other county
fair in the state can compare
with it is the opinion of those
who make it a point to attend
the county fairs held throughout
the state. The exhibition truely
was wonderful.
Despite threatening weather
on the last two days the attend
ance record this year has shatter-
ed all former years and the Bay
field county officials are highly
pleased with the way in which
Bayfield, county people support
their fair.
Wednesday, the second day,
was what is known as Washburn
day, and the people of this city
turned out in fine style. Prac-
tically every business house IN
Washburn closed during inc ess.y'
in order to permit merchants and
employees to attend the fair. 1t
is estimated that five hundred
people made the journey to Iron
River, some going by train while
the greater portion travelled in
automobiles.
The main delegation, in auto
mobiles, made the trip by way of
the north county route, while a
large number Of cars also travel
ed across the Barrons. In all
about sixty automobiles made
trip, while the train over the
Northern Pacific was crowded
with Washburn people.
The roomy octagonal farm pro-
duce building contained the ex-
hibits of grains, vegetables,
fruits, flowers, fancy work,
bakery goods, school exhibits,
photography, war work, etc. and
attracted the largest crowds of
any building on the grounds
Never before has the exhibit in
this building been so good, and
it fairly opened the eyes of
everyone.
The exhibits from the Boys
and Girls Clubs of Bayfield,
county attracted a good deal of
attention. One long table in the
hall was filled with their ex-
hibits and the showing made by
children was an excellent one.
This club work is in charge OF
County Agricultural agent V. E.
Brubaker and there are some 35C
boys and girls represented in the
eight clubs having exhibits. This
work will be enlarged upon the
coming year.
The largest single exhibitors
at the fair in the agriculture
line are j. F. Hauser of Bayfield,
and Charles Chramosta of Oulu
and these two men certainly haC
some excellent exhibits. The
Bayfield, Progress booth in charge
of Editor |. r., Nye and com
prising the towns of Bayfield,
Russell and the Red Cliff reser
vation was certainly a dand,
and attracted good deal of at
tention. Many Washburn also peo
pie had individual exhibits and
fine Community exhibit wa
shown by the Bayview Com
munity Club. The judges will
have no easy job in selecting tn
winners.

STRONG KICK
AGAINST ROADS
BarkSdale Auto Owners Protest to
County Commissioner
Object to Being Compelled to Smooth
Out Roads With Their
Machines.

The automobile owners at the
plant of the DUPONT company
at Barksdale believe they have a
kick coming on the condition of
the roads between this city and
Ashland and they have so voiced
their sentiments to the County
Highway Commissioner, and
copies of the resolution have
been forwarded to the members
of the Highway Committee.
The Ashland-Washburn road
has been unfit for travel during
the entire summer and the
chances are that it will remain
in that condition for the balance
of the year. With work that
will have to be done on the road
next season the automobile
owners expect another dose of
the same treatment the coming
spring.
The road between Ashland
and Washburn is a clay road.
After every rain the road be-
comes badly rutted and with the
gasoline truck which hauls the
road drag out of commission the
greater part of the time, this
road has not been pleasant to
drive over.
During the time the work was
being done on the Barksdale
section detour had to be made
by way Of Ashland Junction.
This portion of the road was
graded and the grass and soft
earth left in the middle Of the
road for travel to pack.
The Barksdale auto owners OBJ
ject to being forced all summer
to pack roads. The following
resolutions were adopted and
copies forwarded to the High
way Commissioner and the
members of the Highway Com
mittee:
Barksdale, Wis. Sept. 5 1917
Mr.. John Sundell,
Road Commissioner,
Bayfield, County,
Washburn, Wis.
Dear Sir:
1t hardly seems necessary to
advise you that the work done
on the road from Ashland juno
ton to Ashland this summer is a
joke. From what the under
signed have learned from differ
ent sources, it is understood that
the road is finished. A few
years ago this road was in fair
shape, but at the present time
we do not believe there is a
rougher road in the United
States.
Tourists inform us that in
travelling thru various counties
and states this past summer,
the only bad roads they en-
countered were in Bayfield,
county.
We would not have any kick
to register if an effort were
made to smooth the roads off
after being fixed, but to allow
sod and dirt to be placed in the
center of a road and then left
there for the people using cars
and teams to wear down certain
lly looks as if the ROAD COM
| MISSIONER or the ROAD COM
IMITTEE are not onto their jobs
and that road building is entirely
out of their line of work. What
lis the use of letting the road
drags, which have been set to
lone side of the road near this
| side of Ashland Junction, rust9
| 1t must have been the original
Intention when they were pur-
Ichased, to use them on the roads.
Once a year does not seem hardly
enough to drag a road, to keep it
lin any kind of condition.
Did you ever attempt to ride

Simple Laxative Remedy
Best for Constipation
Dr.. CadWclI's Syrup Pepsin Gave Sat
isfaction When Nothing Else
Would. 31i '''

Nearly every one, at one time or
another, suffers from constipation, or
inactive bowels, and one Of the few
conclusions upon which the doctors
agree is that regularity of the bowels
is an essential to good health.
In the family medicine chest Of
most well-ordered households will be
found one or more of the various
remedies recommended for the relief
Of constipation. Iii the majority Of
homes today the combination of sim
pie laxative herbs with pcpsin known
as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is rec
ognized as the standard laxative.
Druggists everywhere report a con-
stantly increasing demand for this
splendid remedy. which is sold for
fifty cents a bottle
Mr.. James Ash, 1902 Green St., Cum
berland, Md, wrote to Dr. Caldwell
that he found DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin the most effective remedy for
constipation he had ever used and
that he always keeps a bottle of it on
hand for use when necessary.
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is a
mild laxative, and does not grippe or
strain, but acts gently and brings re-
lief in an easy, natural manner. It's
freedom from opiates or narcotic

On the island of St. John is grown

that the major part Of the bay rum OF

The foreign trade of the islands
has not been of great Importance.
Imports at st. Thomas for the tiscal

about 70 per cent of the imports of
the three islands. OF this total, the
United States furnished 1892 ,28b

WELCOME HOME.

Bismarck gave the members OF
Company A rousing reception. IL
was whole-hearted welcome, ex'
pressing gratitude for the service per-
formed.
All who saw the boys march must
have been impressed with the I'M
provement in their military form af'
ter some six months Of active neld
service under conditions almost as
trying as if there had been actual
hostilities with Mexico.
Their health is excellent and the
general appearance or the troops
showed the results of arduous train
ing. II a few weeks of drill and dis,
cipline, can, work such wonders with
body of men such as these, how
strong the argument for universal mil
itary training. '..
Individually these boys form the ba-
sis OF fine army. They are brave,
sturdy and patriotic, but the military
system which eXerts control is wrong
and fundamentally weak.
Despite the fact that the mobiliza
ton of the troops at the border show
ed up the weakness of our military
organization in all its tragic proper
tions, the training and discipline have
been beneficial ..s, lg>
We trust the boys are home to stay
and thsNths pressure Of foreign at
fafrss not can them TO colors
again. They performed their service
we'll. Each man has reflected credit
upon his state.
Welcome home!
