CLOTHES IN SARDINIA.
Natives Look as Though Dressed For
Medieval Pageant.

Medieval Pageant.
Large white sleeves beneath the
slashed sleeves of his jacket, full.
short, bright cOlOred skirt and close
fitting white trousers tucked into high
boots or leggings constitute the typical
attire of the Sandman. One would
think that a native thus bedight had
stepped from his place in a pageant
of the middle ages instead of being
CARRIED in the customary costume for
feast days.
In some districts Of the island the
men wear a pointed cap resembling a
Phrygian bonnet, long and narrow
like a stocking, reaching almost to the
waist. This point is either worn
down over the shoulder or folded on
top of the head and may be used as
pillow at night. 1t is apt to contain
anything from bread to snuff, which is
Indispensable to the older Sard. A
queer custom of some of the younger
men is to let the hair on top of their
heads grow often to fifteen inches in
length and then roll it up into a puff,
which looks like a pompadour across
the forehead.
Not only in their features, but In
their language do the natives of Sar-
DINA retain traces of the many races
which have occupied the island
through the centuries - Phoenicians.
Carthaginians, Romans, Saracens. Ital-
ians and Spaniards. Many dialects are
spoken, but Italian is now taught in
the schools. and the men acquire the
official language during their period of
compulsory military service.-National
Geographic Magazine.

What is this all about, anyhow!
This movement to develop Wash
burn and her resources and oppor-
tunities? Is it a pastime, a re-
creation, fad" or merely a move
ment to be in fashion with other
towns and cities? 1t is none OF
these things. 1t is absolutely a
legitimate proposition, founded on
the strictest business principals. and
must be conducted along lines with
that end in view. 1t is not touched
with any mystery, it savors of no
riddle, and the man employed, now
or in the future, whether he comes
from Timbuctoo, New York or
Peoria, will make the same requisi-
tons upon the citizenship that the
man now engaged by the Washburn
Comm ercial Club must make and
will be continually making.

The city of Bayfield, held get
together meeting on Monday even
ing of this week at which great
things were planned for the town.
The Bayfield, people are a great
bunch of boosters and when they
start out to do things they usually
accomplish something. A new COM
mercial organization has been formed
and here is wishing it all kinds of
success.

One man today said: "You will
always be up against the two factions
in this city," We hope that man
has decided to remove hence. The
Secretary has net discovered these
factions. He would pay small at
tention to them if he did make the
discovery. On the contrary, he has
discovered a wonderful unity of spirit
here.

what one of you men of affairs would ,

CoLD weather and the lack of snow
is likely to cause a great deal of
trouble for the water company and
its customers. The frost is driving

rate and many breaks in the mains

Of course it is not enough. The
Secretary has been here sufficiently
long and has become sufficiently ac-
quainted with the men who repre-
sent this movement, to be perfectly
sure that he is not dealing with
either fools or failures. He is--and
it is his good fortune, too, associated

questions.

This is a business. The business
men and others of Washburn are
the stock holders. The executive
secretary-specialist if you want to
call him that, is merely the agent
of these business men. He is pre-
sumed to know the why's and the
wherefores, but he cannot ACT for
his employers. This means that
the business interests of the city
who have subscribed to the move
ment must go out behind the wood
shed at home and have a serious
talk with themselves. They must
take stock in this new enterprise,
invoice the stock and pass a few
resolutions all by themselves.

THERE is no better indication OF
the friendly spirit existing between
the farmers of this section and the
city people than the dinners
which have been served back and
forth during the past two years. On
Saturday of this week the farmers
and business people will get together
again at one of these dinners which
will be given at the expense of the
Bay field County Farmers and Fruit
Growers Association, a cooperative
association in which farmers and
business people are interested alike.
These dinners have had a wonder
full effect in building up the COM
munity spirit as between the city
and the country and has been good
thing for all parties concerned.

1t is the small industry that
Washburn may obtain and which, in
great numbers, is far the more desir-
able This is the history of cities
and the history of commercial secre-
tary work. But can the specialist
obtain these by mere chance, or by
waving some wand i'm the air? No
indeed. When men with capital
come upon invitation to locate, they
ask questions, make demands and
expect them to be satisfied. Many
of these questions can be satisfactor-
lily answered as to Washburn. Some
of them cannot be. They ask about
sites for one thing, and taxes, and
water rates and power rates and
about labor, and schools and churches
and they have right to ask these
questions.

far and wide for the community
spirit which exists in this city and
for the things which the city has ac-

two years. Institute men now make
reference to this city when they
talk of the things which have been
accomplished as result of the in

in the state asking How Washburn

DOMINGO HAS A VILLA
swears to Kill All Americans He Can
Marines Pursue Him.
(By the Associated Press. }

San Pedro De Macoris, Santo
Domingo, June 5.-Three companies
of United States marines aided by
Dominican guides are seaching the
provinces of Macoris and Seibo for
Nlncentico Evangelista and his ban
dts whose latest outrage was the kiln
ing of two American engineers in La
Romana sugar estate two weeks ago.
According to information recently
brought in here by Dominicans the
band of Vincentico is dwindling while
he himself has been seriously wounded
in recent brushes with the marines
That he is desperate and will fight to
the last. the American authorities are
certain for Dominicans who have seen
him within the last six weeks have
brought back word that he has sworn
to kill every American possible before
he himself is killed. His capture is at
present the one problem that the
authorities are attempting to solve
in order to bring the republic to a
state of quiet. This last attack on
Americans by Nincentico has stimu-
lated the carrying out OF plans for the
formation of a Dominican National
Guard that will perform both police
and semi military duty.
