MOOre---AIberS

A real college romance was
consumated on June 23rd, when
Miss Barbara D. Moore Of this
city was married to Mr.. John
Wright Albers of Amigo. Miss
Moore was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George r. Moore and
during the past year has been
in charge Of the English De-

grad uating in the class of 1912.
Mr.. Albers has been frequent
visitor at Washburn where he
has made many friends. He is
one of the prominent young
business men of Amigo.
The wedding took place at
1920 at the home of the brides
parents, in the presence of the
i'm mediate families and a few
most intimate friends, and was
perform ed by the Rev. D. D.
Brownell, President of the
Northland College, and an old
friend of the brides family.
The ceremony was followed by
wedding breakfast, served tC
about thirty guests, by half a
dozen of the brides senior High
School girls. In the afternoon
the many friends of the bride
and groom were afforded the
opportunity of expressing their
well wishes to the young couple
at a delightful reception.
The bride presented char m
ing appearance in dress ol
net, filet lace and embroidered
voile, and carried shower
bouquet of orchrids, sweet-peas
and lilies of the valley.
The living rooms Of the home
of the bride were beautifully
decorated with a profusion OF
ferns, and of lavendar and white
lilacs, the brides sorority colors
Ward roses were the prevailing
decoration of the dining room.

of Europe.

Fraught with more tender
emotions and patriotic signifi-
canoe than any incident of the
year, there was social gather
ing at the Savoy restaurant
Monday night attended by seven
men, representatives of the "old
and the new, the Spanish
American war and the war of
IT.
The dinner was given in honor
of Lieut.. Erwin Leihy, of Port
land, Oregon, the only surviving
commissioned officer of Co. K.
4th Wisconsin volunteer infantry
of the Spanish-American war,
which was mustered in at Wash
burn. The hosts were his for
mer comrades, the only survivors
Of Co. K. now residing in Wash
burn. They are R. A. Herring,
Harvey Irish, John Simoneau,
Charles Wolfe and Ernest
Fahrig, the latter only being
prevented from attending the
lovefeast. The other guests
were Capt. H. H. Peavey and
Ralph Harvey Of the new Co. B.
9th. Wisconsin infantry national
guard, the Washburn contingent
in the war of 1917.
Lieut.. Leihy came to Wash
burn Unexpectedly, having been
east on business and dropped off
at his former home to renew old
acquaintances and to congratu-
late the men who had taken up
the habiliments of war for this
present call of Uncle Sam, which
he and others had laid aside at
the close of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war.
When the dinner had reached
the stage of cigars and coffee,
Lieut.. Leihy arose and opened a
package he was carrying and uu-
furled to the astonished gaze of
his comrades in arms, the flag
that they carried at the head of
their company when they en-
trained at Washburn to leave for
the seat of war. They have for
several years hunted high and
low for that precious flag, and
had abandoned hope of ever re-
covering it. Lieut.. Leihy had
located it and kept the surprise
for this occasion.
There it was, star for star,
stripe upon stripe, stitch after
stitch, just as it was when the
loving hands of Mrs. H. G..
Fahrigof Washburn had wrought
it's splendid folds for the "Boys
of 1892. This gift was one of
the touching and final incidents
of that July l, 1898, when the
boys of Washburn marched away
to war-then they knew not
where or to what end. Needless
to saythat there were moist eyes

Bayview Community Gathering was
Great Success.
Hundreds of People Attend First Annual
Event of the BayvieW Com
munity Club.

Fully 400 persons were guests
last Friday of the Bayview Com
munity club at their first annual
picnic and outing at the school
building at Houghton- marking
one Of the most enjoyable and
completely successful affairs of
it's kind ever held in Bayfield,
county.
From the initial Introductory
address Of President w. E. Plant,
until the last basket had been
packed and the crowd had de-
parted, tired but happy-was
the day one long succession OF
delightful events, surcharged
with the most abounding hos
pitality that a company of en-
tertainers ever extended to
guests. From near and far came
farmers, fruit-growers, business
and professional men, all sup
piled with their baskets of good
things to eat. None failed to
do ample justice to the noon
hour feast.
The program began promptly
at IL o'clock, when President
Plant bade the large company
welcome and in a we'll chosen
address pointed out the object
of the Bayview Conmunity club,
explaining that this was the
first of many such outings to be
given by the club. He went into
great detail as to the merits of
operation and of the BayvieW
club as the very means for Sc
curing closer social harmony and
better business results for their
own immediate territory. His
address was warmly received.
America" and "The Star
Spangled Banner" were the
songs of the occasion, Justify
chanted by the entire company
with Miss Lucille Smith as or
ganist. Rev. 0. w. Smith, orator
of the day, delivered an invo-
cation, whereupon the chairman
introduced County Agent V. E.
Brubaker who addressed the
audience on the appropriate
theme of closer fellowship in
community organization. He
was given as usual, the closest
attention because the county
agent has already won for him.
self a place of high esteem
wherever he has gone through
out this vast domain of Bayfield,
county. His remarks were time
ly, beautifully expressed and
emphatic because of the voice of
an experienced man. Mr.. Bru-
baker was never in better voice.
Oscar Hagen and Viola Cauger
then gave recitations and both
received storm of applause for
the two young people had Sc
lected appropriate themes and
both are favorites among the
Bayview people.
Ed. nj. Heermans, executive
secretary of the Washburn Com
mercial club was next on the
program and his address, in
terspersed as it was by some OF
his humorous thrusts, was favor
ably received by the audience
He urged men and women tt
stand on their individual merits
stating that any community de
pended first on Individual units
than family units, for the sue
cess of any cooperative under
taking. Mr.. Heermans has twice
spoken at Bayview and is al
ready favorite among the peo
pie out there.
Mrs. 0. w. Smith then came
forward with a group of Camp
Fire girls from the Washburr
unit and gave an exercise ane
song by the young ladies in theil
campfire costumes, delightful

and impressive feature of the

The keynote of the occasion
at BayvieW was the dedication
of the huge new flag which the
club had recently purchased and
it was flung to the beeeze from
a new pole that had been erected
borne to the place by six flag
bearers as follows: Agnes Bodin,
Mary Frostman, Gladys Mich
olson, Lydia Kjarvick, Olga
Hagen and Celia Hagen. The
young ladies were becomingly
gowned in the national colors
and it was at the conclusion of
the dedicatory address that they
came forth with old glory, as the
crowd fairly shook the earth
with their tremendous cheers.
Rev. O. w. Smith, pastor of
the Washburn Congregational
church, delivered the dedicatory
address, which was decidedly
one of his best efforts on the
subject of patriotism. Always a
prime favorite with audiences
in Northern Wisconsin, Rev.
Smith on this occasion seemed
to have been inspired by the
sacred impressiveness of the
hour, and he reached heights of
eloquence that lifted his hearers
from their feet at times. De-
nouncing the mollycoddles and
the near-patriots, his zeal fired
his utterances with darts that
penetrated the armor of those
who still held back when their
country called them.
AS he concluded the flag was
slowly hoisted to the summit of
the pole, while Rev. Smith re-
cited a poem on the flag that
made the hour a sacred one and
proved a fitting climax to an
address that will long be re-
membered by those present for
it's truth, eloquence and force
of logic. Like whip-lashes the
speaker scored the malcontents
and traitors within the land and
with chaste words of beauty he
painted picture of true
Americanism.
Mrs. E. C. Alvord next pre-
sented the cause of the Red
Cross society and did it so i'm
pressively and so splendidly
that during the day some so or
more of the Bayview people
joined the society and an
auxiliary there is now an assured
thing.
The feast-that came largely
from Individual baskets, but the
generosity of the Bayview peo-
pie was only exceeded by their
hospitality, for they had pro-
vided hot coffee and ice cream
free to the throngs, a fitting ad-
dition to the cold lunches that
were brought by the various
families.
The noonhour scene was i'm
pressive for the sun had come
out warm and the lawn about
the school building was dotted
by scores of picnic parties ZEN
famile" as they spread out their
dinners and gathered about to
satisfy the inner man. No
speeches or music or suggestions
even were needed to make this
part of the program as success
| full as the remainder.
The afternoon was devoted to
field sports, contests, races,
baseball etc. under capable COM
mittees, with ample cash purses
for all winners and the whole
day was crowned by a dance in
the club hall the same night,
when the young people who had
helped make the day such sue
cess, gave themselves over to
the rythm of good music and the
mazes of the newest dances. 1t
was pronounced to have been
one of the best dances of the
year. The committee consisted
of Elmer Bodin. Sidney Nichol-
lson, Hilma Bodin, Agnes Bodin,
and Mary Freshman.
| An important feature of the
day was the addition of enough
