EaIlinu up Out of a Balloon,

If a man falls out Of a rising aero
plane or balloon he will not go toward
the earth, but will continue rising into
the air for an appreciate time. If
the air machine were stopped in its
ascent at the time it could catch the
man as he came down. If the airship
were ascending at the rate of thirty
two feet second the man would rise
sixteen feet before beginning to fal
toward the earth. Thus, by reducing
the speed of it's ascent, the vessel
might keep by the side Of the man and
rescue him. The reason why the man
rises is the same as the reason for
bullets rising when shot from gur
into the air-both the man and the
bullet are given a velocity upward and
it takes some time for gravity to mega
tive that velocity.

action weakers the DO wells, leads to

The Touch of a Man," All along
we have said that no man in Wash
burn who amounts to hill of beans
in his walk in life, but who does not
have some good in him and some
usefulness to his community and to
Others about him. Of course you
cannot fit square plugs into round
holes. But each man has some
niche into which he fits and his
touch and influence upon some other
man in this important work of MAX
ing Washburn better city in which
to live, is vital if he will but see it
and exercise that influence. 1t is a
fact. And if we will bury the
hammer out in the middle of the
Chequamegon bay and get busy. we
will all find that little place in which
we belong as city-builders.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB and CITY AFFAIRS
Edited by Ed M Heermans Executive Secsetary.
Washburn Commercial Club

A cfergymanin this city last Sun,
day morning preached in his pulpit
on the theme of "The Touch of a
Man, the fundamental idea OF
which was that the individual in
fiuence of each man and woman in a
community was of vastly more inn
portance and potency than all the
organizations that exist secular or
religious. If we had asked tor a
sermon on the responsibility OF the
citiz enship of Washburn, individual
ly and collectively, in commercial
club or women's council work, we
could not have gotten any sermon
to better suit the point than this
one.

thus shirk his own responsibility.
IT the Commercial club makes a mis-
take it is partially your mistake il
you have not been present at the
meeting and voiced your sentiments.
If the Secretary gets into error, it
is not because he has not asked for
advice and suggestions from the
citizenship and you cannot evade
your responsibility behind the or
ganization-if you have shrked your
individual responsibility in attend
ing to your part of the work.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-04-19

Who says the ministers of the
gospel have no place in commercial
club work? Not the Secretary. Some
of the clergyman have said it them
selves and if so, they are like the
ostrich, hiding their heads in the
sand but we can all see their bodies
exposed to this error and danger.
The civic work of the community is
not far removed from the churches
and clergyman. 1t is all linked
closely together. OF course the
clergy and churchmen must not ex-
pect to join this work and appropri-
ate it. But there is lot of talent
among the clergymen of this city
and if they will, like Rev. Smith,
make our problems and issues their
problems and issues-we will all
come nearer that real brotherhood
of man. In other words, men of the
club and men of the church and
clergy-let the Touch of Man
your touch, 60 but to others.

Many William Shakespeares.

There have been many William
Shakespeares in the past. Among the
burials in the registers of st. Clement
Danes, in the Strand, there is the en-
try, "Jane Shackspeer, daughter Of
Willm., s Aug, 1609." Warwickshire
records show, among other things, that
a William Shakespeare paid IS. to the
Lay Subsidy, Walton super Olde;" an
other w. S. priced the goods Of "Rob
ert Shakesper Of Wroxall" on March 10,
1868; another, shoemaker Of Coven-
try, made his will March 19, 1866;
still another William Shakespeare,
gentleman" had "his daughter Su-
sanna' (singularly enough baptized on
March IA, 1896, and yet again another

1t seemed in listening to Rev. y.
w. Smith during this very interest
ing and vital discourse of his, that
he was taking his text from the very
heart of these weekly articles ap-
pearing in this paper since last jan
uary first. But he was not. The
Washburn clergy are able to do their
own thinking. But the Importance
of this sermon should not be passed
over without some comment from
the Secretary. In his liberal way
of viewing life and men and women,
the speaker applied his thought to
the secular work of the world land
Washburn is our world first, as
well as to the religious work OF the
community.

Men of Washburn, and members
of the Woman's Council-it is worth
something to have as wise and good
man as this clergyman back up the
things we have been saying to you.
Once we stated that the world is
made up of unites of nations; the
nation of states; the states of units
of communities and our own COM
munity is made up of units of in
dividuals. Rev. Smith drove home
the point that the individual res
possibility of these individual units
is far-reaching that the Touch of
Man" is more potent and valuable
than the broader influence of the
organization composed of those in
dividual units. 1t is the truth,
vivified.

PLANT more crops this spring is
the advice given out by the Govern
ment. Do not let it be said that
vacant foot of ground that might be
Dlanted should go without seed OF
some kind that will produce food
stuff. Bayfield, county farmers and
land owners have duty to perform
in growing larger crops and by doing
this you can show just as much
patriotism as the men going to the
front. It has been said that an army
Fights on its stomach" and we want
to be able to say that the army OF
United States is the best fed army
in the wo Id. We must also help to
feed the armies of the allies with
which this countay is now aligned.
DOES Washburn lack in patriotism
Not if we are any Judge of human
nature. People here are going to
have opportunity to give vent to
their patriotic feelings on Tuesday
evening, April gath, and unless we
miss our guess it will be the biggest
demonstration ever held in the city
of Washburn. There will be par
ade followed by patriotic meeting.
The Opera House should prove all
together too small for the crowd.
The Bayfield, Progress seems to
feel very badly over the claim that
the Washburn harbor is the only
harbor on the Great Lakes that
can shelter the fleet of the United
States navy. We are perfectly
willing to let Bayfield, come in for
its share on this claim if it is one
of the deep water ports on
Chequamegon Bay, but we will ex-
pect them to foot" their own horn.
MANY of the people who have en-
tered "guesses" as to when the ice
would leave Chequamegon Bay will
have to revise their guesses. 1t
now looks as if it would be May 1st
before the bay will be clear of ice.

The situation in Europe has shown toO that the good road

One of the arguments against the road bill to be voted on

noppotune public work If the carries it will
not compulsory upon the counties grade the roads They
do they like and there will be undue Fastening of
