mount consideration. And it was further stated by the court that when the manner of expressing his inten- ton is violative of those laws it should be disregarded and it should be con- sidered that he had expressed no in- tention.
 So, in this case the intention of the bettor' must be considered in its re- lation, not to laws but to facts, cir cumstances and subsequent events. If the bet described was made prior to November of 1916, the bettors could probably have had only one thing in mind, each that his favorite candidate would be elected governor that day. If the bet was made after that date the bettor might have had several things in mind, among which might have been the identity of the man who should next sit in the governors chair after the then existing term of Governor Hunt. If the bettOrs could have foreseen the course events were to take and had made their meaning more clear and definite by employing the expression de jure' or de facto,'' the task now imposed upon us would be less la borious one.
 Even if the bettors had nothing in mind beyond the official returns and were not contemplative of such con- tingencies as de jure and de facto gov ernors, the fact that Campbell was actually the NEXT GOVERNOR though de facto, would appear to have been a decision of the bet in favor of his adherent Hunt did not succeed himself and was, therefore, not the next governor.

from the County to Receive
Presents.

Christmas packages and with
them the best wishes and good
cheer of the people of Bayfield,
county went forward during the
past week to the Bayfield, county
boys stationed in the different
training camps in the United
States.
The sending of the packages
was so timed that they will reach
the boys in time for Christmas,
and each contained things which
the boys will greatly appreciate.
The work of arranging for
these packages was a big under
taking and the men and ladies
who devoted their time to the
plan are entitled to the greatest
credit for the work which they
have done. The arranging for
the sending of the packages was
worked out by Mrs. E. G. Alvord
Harvey Irish and Robert Affieck
and they were very ably assisted
by Miss Harriet Johnson, Miss
Carrie Alvord, Mrs, Greenwood.
Mrs. Doyle, Mrs. Irish, Miss
Madden, Mrs. Bennett, Mrs.
Stevens, Mrs. Koehler, Mrs. E.
G. Moore, Mrs. Lamoreaux, Mr..
Alvord and Mr.. Koehler.
The contents of each package
contained one pound Of tobacco,
l pound of candy, l pencil, |
tablet. 2 packages of gum and l
handkerchief with greetings from
the people of Bayfield, county.
The city of Washburn, Grand
view and Mason looked after the
boys from their localities, while
Bayfield,, Iron River and Gable
sent their packages direct.
That the packages will be
greatly appreciated by the boys
who have gone to fight the bat
ties of the United States is as
sured for it will serve to remind
them that the people back home
are willing to back them up to
the last and their thoughts
are always of their welfare.
We at home cannot do too
much for the boys who have
gone to the front. Every one of
them should have a "backer"
who should write to them at
frequent intervals and keep them
posted of the things going on at
their home town. 1t will serve

For Closing Week Of The
Campaign.

This is the spirit with which be-
tween 400, 600 and 500, 900 residents
of Wisconsin. actively enlisted in the
army which is selling Red Cross
Christmas seals, cutting down the
tuberculosis death rate and saving
human lives, is entering upon the
last few days of the campaign to
finance the organized work in Wis
consin for protecting both soldiers
and civil population from tuberculosis
and allied preventable diseases.
Little tots and gray-haired grand
mothers, high school girls and boys
and staid members of Commercial
clubs, club women and members of
County Councils of Defense. theatre
managers and clergymen, doctors and
school principals and teachers are all
enrolled in the army, splendidly re-
presentatives of the absolute de-
mocracy of the anti-tuberculosis
movement. Practically every COM
munity in the state is showing an
earnest and enthusiastic determine
tion to come to time require
ments with the largest seal sale in
it's history. Rural schools, taking
great pride in the fact that they
have had so large part in financing
the work of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association for the last
six years, are working as never be-
fore for and increased sale.
The offer of the services of
visiting nurse for one month each to
the three counties making the largest
rural sales and the chance that every
pupil has of winning a Wisconsin
Health Guard honor medal and ad-
ditional service bars gives further
stimulation to the work of the young
salesman. City schools throughout
the state are also showing an in
creased appreciation of the educa-
tional value of the seal sale, which
has been emphasized this year by
the organization of the Wisconsin
Health Guard with membership of
nearly half million children. Every

record sales is being made.

SOLDIER BOY
ANSWERS CALL
Byron Jacobson Passed Away at
Waco, Texas. Monday.
Was Member Of The Bayfield, County
Company of The National
Guard.
Number 35

All Bayfield, county mourns
with Mr.. and Mrs. j. P. Jacob
son of this city the death of
their son Byron, member of the
National Guard stationed at
Waco, Texas, whose death oc-
Cured on Monday of this week,
for it marks the first death of
any member of the Bayfield,
county company who have gone
forward to fight the battles Of
the United States in the present
war.
The news of the death of
Byron was received in this city
Tuesday noon by the father.
Previous to this the family had
been advised Of the serious con-
dition of Byron and Mrs. Jacob
son left on Saturday afternoon
for Waco to be present at the
bedside of her son. Owing to
poor train connections and de-
lays she did not arrive at Waco
until Tuesday morning, the day
after Byron passed away.
Byron Jacobson was taken
seriously i'll something over a
week ago with typhoid fever but
pneumonia developed later and
although everything was done
for him at the army hospital
death came on Monday.
Byron jacobson was one of the
first members of Company B. to
answer the call of his country
for service, even though it meant
that he might have to lay down
his life in order to defend old
Glory. When Captain Peavey
announced that he was to or
ganize company Byron offered
his services and left with the
boys for Camp Douglas where he
remained for a time when he
was rejected on account of a
slight physical disability. Byron
was advised that a slight oper-
alton would fit him for service
and after being home for a few
days again made the attempt to
serve his country and was ad-
vised that if he would consent
to an operation that he would be
accepted. This he readily con-
sented to do and left with the
Company for Texas.
Byron is the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. Jacobson. He was
young man of exceptional worth
to the community. a Christian
young man whose life was
model for other young men to
follow. No young man ever
possessed greater patriotism
than did Byron for he was will
ing to go anywhere that his
country might call.
The remains of Byron, accom-
panied by his mother, will prob
ably arrive tomorrow evening on
the late train in which case the
funeral will be held on Sunday
afternoon. Otherwise the fun
eral will be held Monday after
noon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacobson have
the sympathy of the entire COM
munity in their bereavement.
