If ALL of us possessed the true
patriotism that burns in the heart of
Luther Bates of this city, who served
his country during the time of the
Civil war in many Of the great battles
of that period, then we truly could
be proud of that patriotism. Luther
Bates is citizen who puts his coun.
try above all--excepting only the
Almighty Ruler, and his prtriotism
comes from the heart.
The other day Liberty Bond
solicitors, in making the canvass of
the city, called upon Mr.. Bates to
see if he did not want to subscribe
for liberty bond, and the message
that Mr.. Bates poured out was such
that it enlivened the Liberty Bond
canvassers to greater efforts in be-
Hall vi ILLICIT COuHlIy III Inlo CilIlSdi
time.
Mr.. Bates not only subscribed fol
many of them, in fact put every
dollar which he had laid aside into
the bonds which would help the
United States win the war for world
democracy and freedom. He gave
his all in silver and gold, but he did
not stop at that--he even offered to
turn over his little store to the
government if it would help them in
any way, yes he would even lay down
his life on the field of battle would
the government accept him for ser
vice, but because of his age that is
without question. That is what we
call true patriotism.

Everything in the world is both
estimated, and measured by COM
parison, although some sage long ago
stated that comparisons are odious. "
But odious only when comp arisons
are made for the purpose of praising
one thing at the expense of another.
Without some standard by which we
can estimate the worth of things, we
must fail utterly in our judgement OF
the things held up for our passing
notice. Thus daylight is known for
what it is, because of the darkness of
nighttime. If these remarks are
somewhat trite and bromide, they
may serve as an introduction fer
something much more worth while
a brief review and study of that
splendid organization known as the
Woman's Council of Washburn. We
cannot avoid comparing the potency
and fruitfulness of this organization
with the less potent one of the
men S organization the Commercial
club.

WE ARE glad to note the spirit
with which the High School students
are entering into the work of being
of assistance in harvesting the bum
per crops which have been grown in
this section. The movement has
proven solution to the difficult
problem of harvesting the crops and
the experience is of benefit to the
students.
The plan was tried out a week
ago by Supt. G. D. Hyper and as
soon as the Council of Defense
learned of it they Immediately or
ganized movement which extends
throughout the county and in which
school students from city and rural
schools will participate. The plan is
for the school students to form
squads and assist farmers, who
would otherwise have great difficulty
i'm harvesting their crops before
freezing weather comes. The wages
have been set at $500 per day for
each student and the farmers are
willing to pay this,
In the cities automobile owners
have agreed to convey the students
to the farms and to bring them back
to the city again when the day S
work has been done. The plan is
working out very satisfactorily.

asked seriously what was the best
thing to do in Washburn today, for
the future good of this splendid and
likeable little city, we should honest
" reply: Let the Commercial Club
turn their revenues over to the
Woman's Council and tell them to
take up the work, retaining the

women, if given half chance,
would do what we had hoped the

| am inclined to explain the sue
cess the Council has in this brief
summary: These women by nature
take disappointments better than
men do, and therefore are less easily
discouraged. They are, as admitted
by psychologists with
quicker wits and more penetration,
hence they see possible goals more
easily, and possible error in reaching
goal, and go after their problems
with greater directness than men do.
You should see how their committees
work. Here are real committees
and real chairman of committees,
who do what the executive officers
ask them to do, or try at least and
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-10-18

Now that the war is upon us,
these same women, through other
organizations such as the Red Cross,
have doubled their duties and re-
sponsibilities, both financial, civic
and patriotic, and have kept up the
pace they set for themselves in the
beginning. 1t is nothing short of
marvellous what they have done and
are doing every week. Well might
the men in their organization feel
ashamed of this example, and to
show that they are both ashamed
and appreciative, they have given
literally to the various causes for
which these noble women have
asked contributions. All the balder-
dash of past times about women S
sphere being the home" has been
Aattened out upon the hagstones OF
stern truth. Not one of the women
of this city has lost one whit of her
feminity, or devoted motherhood
or her filial or domestic loyalty and
efficiency as home-maker, because
of her work for the Council or other
organizations.
