easier to fight off the disease.

Get Y0urFuel
Supply Early

Every one should do their bit. In
these critical times, any aid to the
general public is aid to our govern
ment. There is no coal shortage. But
there is a dreadful transportation
shortage. Every means should be
used to keep the mines running and
the coal moving, to the consumer all
the time. There is no accumulated
stock, and it can not be moved fast
enough for the big fall demand. 1t is
your duty to order your winters sup
ply now, to be delivered as fast as it
can arrive. This will get you out of
the way, and leave a chance for those
less fortunate than you. Will you do

Special Meeting of County
Fathers Next Week
Will Take up Matter of Set
ting Back Territory from
Barksdale.

A call has been issued from
the County Clerks office for
special meeting of the County
Board of Bayfield, county to be
held at the Court House in this
city on Thursday of next week.
A petition asking that the meet
ing be called was circulated
among members of the County
Board during the past two weeks
and received the proper number
of signatures and the call for
the meeting has been issued.
The purpose of the meeting is
to discuss the question of taking
back territory which was at
tached to the town of Barksdale
at the meeting of the County
Board held on November 18th.
The Barksdale people resented
the fact that territory was added
to their town by the County
Board, claiming that there was
no reason for doing the SANE
and it was their purpose to at
tack the legality of the action.
During the past several weeks
it is understood that matters be-
tween the county and the town
have been patched up and that
the town is willing to back a
bill which is now before the
state legislature which would
distribute the income tax money
of the town of Barksdale in ad-
dition to- two per cent of the as
sessed valuation to the towns
and cities of the county in pro-
portion to the number of school
children in each town. This
would amount to considerable
to each and every town in the
county and it is said that many
members of the county board
favor setting back the territory
providing the Barksdale people
will favor the bill before the
legislature.
A great deal of interest is CEN
tered in the meeting and the
people in the territory which
was attached to Barksdale are
willing to put up a fight to have
that territory remain attached
to the town.

THE STORM WAS
A SEVERE ONE
Streets Blocked and Railway
Traffic Tied Up
Snow Storm one of the Worst
that Has Ever, Visited
This Section.

The belated March Lion" ap-
peared in full force in the two
great storms which visited this
city during the past week and
so much snow fell that streets
and railway traffic was tied up
for several days as a result.
The first storm visited this
section last Tuesday and was
considered to be one of the
worst storms of the kind which
has ever visited this region. In
the city the street crew battled
with the huge drifts and soon
had traffic opened up and the
same was true of the railroads.
But no sooner did the crews
have the first snow banks cleared
away than another storm visited
this section on Friday evening
and Saturday which proved even
worse than the first and COM
pletely tied up traffic.
During last Friday and Satur-
day all train service on all rail-
roads throughout this section
was abandoned and there was a
complete tie-up of all traffic, in
cluding all passenger trains,
etc. On Sunday the work of
battling with huge drifts began
and it was not until Monday
that train service was running
again.
In the city the drifts were so
large that the street crew had
to give up the work of clearing
the walks with the plow in GER
tain sections and pedestrians
are now using the streets.
