MESS FUND
is GROWING
Should Be Raised to More Than a
Thousand Dollars
Everybody Given an Opportunity to
Donate to Fund for the
Soldier Boys.

The people of this city are be-
ginning to appreciate what it
means to the soldier boys, who
have gone to the front, to have
a mess fund and they have al
ready subscribed over $500 and
this has been placed in the COM
pany fund. The taking of sub
scriptions to the fund will go on
and will be forwarded to the
company from time to time.
With over 130 me mbers in the
Bayfield, county company the
amount collected amounts to
only a "drop in the bucket" to
what they should have and every
town, city and hamlet in the
county should start a movement
to increase this fund to more
than one thousand dollars and
as much more as possible.
The fund offers everyone an
opportunity to subscribe some
thing. 1t means much to the
boys who have gone to the front
to fight for the country and for
the people who stay at home.
The fund in the hands of the
company officials will be handled
to the best possible advantage
for the purchase of such food as
the boys do not get in the regular

Thousands Turn Out to Bid the Boys
a Last Goodbye.
Scene at Depot was an Impressive One.
Bayfield, County is Proud Of
Her Soldiers.

Amid sears and cheers the
mem bers of Company d. 9th
Wisconsin Regiment, who have
been stationed in This city dur
ing the past five weeks, left this
morning at six o'clt elk for Camp
Douglas and they were scheduled
TO arrive there at three O'clock.
This afternoon.
The scene at the depot pre-
vious to the departure was a
solemn and impressive one as
mothers, sisters and sweet
hearts and fathers, brothers
and admiriDg friends bid the
boys goodbye and wished them
good luck and an early return to
the city.
Thousands turned out to see
them, many coming from Bay
field and Iron River and other
points in the county. 1t was
rousing send-off that was accor-
ded the boys.
At the sound of the bugle the
boys came to position in the
square near the Opera House
corner where roll was called and
all were found ready. The
company then marched \ the
depot, lead by tha ~ arn.
cry ss.sE.r.++s = ~ "a 1
i'm line and as the train came up
they boarded the cars which
would take them on the first
step of the journey. Everything
was carried out in military
style.
From the windows of the
coaches the boys waved fare
we'll to those who had gathered
about and as the train pulled
out cheers went up from the
throats of thousands of people.
The train went from here to
Ashland where the coaches
carrying the Ashland company
Of the 9th were added to the
Washburn train and at seven
O'Clock the train left for Hay
ward where the Sawyer county
company boarded the train.
Stop was made at EauClaire for
dinner and The train was due
at Camp Douglas at three o'clock
this afternoon.
Not since 1898 when Company
K. left this city Las thei e been
such a gathering. War was
brought more closely home as
the boys boarded the train for
many anxious parents realiz~d
as never before that it would
perhaps be some -ime before
they would see the, boys again.
Everything possible Was done
by the people OF this city to
make the first train journey of
the home boys pleasant one.
Cigars, candy, tobacco, lunch
and fruits were provided for
them. Nothing was left undone,
and the best wishes of everyone
went with them.
The mem bers of the Company
and the officers have asked us

AUTO ACCIDENT
PROVES FATAL
Life of JOy-Rider Snufed Out When
Car Turns Turtle
Others Escape with But Slight Injuries.
Car Goes Over Ia Foot
Embankment

! The first fatal automobile
accident of the season occurred on
the Bayfield-Washburn road on
saturday morning at an early
hour when an Overland touring
car. driven by John Erickson,
went over a fourteen foot en-
bankment on the Salmo hill, kill
ing Erickson and injuring Rinart
Johnson. Others in the car were
badly shaken up. The car was
badly demolished.
The car wassowned by Albin
and John Reustrom, and was
taken from their garage at short
lily before twelve o'clock by
Erickson, in whose home the
Renstroms were stopping. Erick-
son then drove to the Garden
Hall where he asked four friends
to accompany him on a short
trip. Rinart Johnson, Art.
Bushey, Embert Haugen and
Fred Thoreson accepted Erick-
sons invitation for ride, and
the car was started for Bayfield,.
After spending a short time in
the Harbor City the boys started
back for Washburn. Erickson
was driving the car at a fair
rate of speed when he hit the
Salmo hill, and those who were
with him think that he started
to coast down the hill, while the
engine was still running.
| 1t had been raining slightly
previous to this time and the
road was somewhat slippery.
Erickson seemed to loose con-
troll of the car when the steepest
part of the hill was encountered
and the car left the road, travel
ing along the edge for a distance
of about one hundred and fifty
feet before it finally went over
the embankment. AS the boys
felt the car skid on the road
they cautioned Erickson to slow
down and it is thought that as
he tried to reach the brake pedal
with his foot that he lost sight
of the road and the car went
over the embankment, turning
over twice as it went down.
They say the car was practically
stopped when it went over.
Erickson was pinned under
the car with the running board
resting on the back of his neck.
while Rinart Johnson was pinned
under the car. The car was
standing on it's side and lying
against some trees at the foot of
the ravine. In the darkness
Erickson could not be located,
but Johnson cried out in his pain,
asking the boys to endeavor to
remove the car from his foot.
This was an impossible task for
the others and they made their
way to the Sykes home where
they secured lanterns and axes,
and with members of the Sykes
family started back to the scene
| of the accident.
After chopping away the trees
the car was turned over and
johnson. and Erickson were ex-
tricated from their positions. 1t
was then learned that Erickson
had been instantly killed, his
neck having been broken, while
johnson suffered injuries about
the leg and arms. The others
were scratched and bruised
slightly.
How any of the bows escaped
serious injury seems almost
miracle, but it is supposed that
the top of the car prevented
them being seriously injured.
The body of Erickson was
brought to the Hansen under
taking parlors Saturday morn
ling where it was prepared for
burial, later being removed to
the family residence on Pine

Two notable gatherings were
held in this city on Monday
evening for privates and officers
of Company ID. who have de-

gathering for the privates of
the Company which was held at
the Olson home on the Lake
Shore, and the other was a BAN

d. at the Lamoreaux Hotel.
The picnic supper for the pri-
Yates of the company was ar
ranged by the Joan of Arc Circle
and the the Nightengale Circle
of the Red Cross Chapter, with
the assistance of others. The
scene for the supper was the
beautiful grounds surrounding
the Olson home. Soldier boys

thirty, the members of the
Washburn City Band, the mem
berS of the two Red Cross circles
and older persons swelled the
number tes more than two hun
dl3d people attending this affair

byall present.
lhe supper was all that one
I'd expect and then some.
ss Eliminated from
tne menu that would tempt the
appetites of almost anyone, and
the soldier boys, whose appetites
had been wetted by the march
from. this city following drill
practice, did justice to all that
was set before them.
There was band music fur
nished by the City Band, solos,
duets, and songs during the sup
per hour. and after it was all
over the boys marched to this
city where they paraded on the
streets for a few minutes and
the sight Of this elegant COM
pany who are about to go to the
front to fight for our country
and our flag instilled such
patriotism as has never before
filled the hearts of the people of
this city.
The other event of the even
ing was the banquet for the
three commissioned officers of
the company, namely Captain
Hubert H. Peavey, First Lieu
tenant Randolph w. Smith and
Second Lieutenant Ralph A.
Harvey.
The scene of this gathering
was the spacious dining room
of the Lamoreaux Hotel where
covers were laid for thirty ad-
miring friends of the three rank
ing officers of the company.
This latter affair was arranged
by Robert Affleck and Roy Mark
ham to such a nicely that moth
ing could be improved upon.
The dining room was decorated
in national colors with a large
American Flag decorating the
side wall. AS the strains of
the National anthem reached
the ears of those attending all

ing the flag which means world

The supper was prepared by
Chef Garnet Hare and consisted
of five course supper of the
choicest kind, served in elegant
style. Charles +. Morris acted
as POSTMASTER and during each
course there were speeches by
those present until all had been
called upon. There were also

WILSON AND NAVY BOARD CON
SLIDER L. $. CAMPAIGN

London, April 1S-The report of
Rear Admiral William S. Sims, United
States Navy, head of the American
naval mission now in England, deal
ing with all phases of the submarine
program, has been forwarded to
Washington, where it is being con-
sidered by President Wilson and the
naval board, who will be guided by it
in determining the manner in which
the American fleet can best cooperate
with the British navy in combating
the underwater craft
The report is the result of several
days conference here between Rear
Admiral Sims and the head of the
British Admiralty, who have placed
every facility at the disposal of the
American mission in order that they
might learn the true status of the
submarine warfare. When President
Wilson and the naval board decide
on the method of cooperation be-
tween the United States and British
fleets, word will be sent to Rear Ad-
miral Sims here, who in conjunction
with the British Admiralty will pro-
coed to put it into effect.
"We don't expect to get all of the
submarines and boats" said an ad-
miralty official, but just enough to
break the back of the submarine
campaign. In other words, we hope
to defeat the submarines by destroy
ing enough of them to weaken their
morale in much the same manner that
an army is broken through defeating
portion Of IT,"

announced at the navy yard late to-
day that no credence was placed in
reports from three coast guard sta

not heard any gunfring, and that they
knew nothing of it except from the
bulletins issued by the naval au-
thorities.

STORING VEGETABLES.

More OF the characteristic flavor of
vegetables is preserved by storing
than by any other method. Vegeta-
bies stored properly will keep and
those that rot are due to caresessness
or ignorance of conditions necessary
to store properly.
The three chief essentials of sue
cessiul storage are sound vegetables,
proper Temperature. proper moisture.
With certain vegetables maturity and
ventilation are also OF prime import
ance.
The following vegetables are classi-
fled as to moisture and temperature
requirements for storage:
Cool temperature Beots. carrots.
celery. onions. parsnips. potatoes.
rutobaras. turnips.
Warm tcmperature-Pep pump.
kins. squashes. tomatoes.
Moist air Beets. cabbage. carrots.
celery. parsnips, potatoes. rutsbag gas.
