It has long been moot point whether
single or married men make the best
soldiers. Some maintain that the lack
of wife and family tends to make a
man more reckless of his life, therefore
a good soldier. Others say that the
married man is almost veteran when
he enters the ranks. being Injured to
combat, therefore a good soldier. A
French colonel was once questioned
upon this point. Both are right" said
he. Look yonder! Do you see that
battalion of happy, devil-may-care fel-
lows? They are all single men, and
they would take their lives in their
hands. But look again! Do you see
those taciturn, somber. gloomy looking
men there? They are all married, and
in hand to hand fight they are ter
rors." What is the. name of the bat
talion?" asked the inquirer. 'They are
called" said the colonel grayely, "the

FARMERS of Bayfield, county can be
assured that the prices will be above
the normal for every ounce OF food
crops that they may be able to raise
this season and for that reason the
opportunity is before them. The
farmers as a rule are doing every
thing in their power to increase their
acreage and they should also en-
deavor to keep these crops well cul-
tivated so that they will produce the
biggest yields. Government reports
on the present crop conditions are to
the effect that they are not the most
favorable and the best the nation can
do will be an average yield.
The planting season is before the
Bayfield, county farmers. They
should endeavor to plant their crops
so that if they run short of time or
are unable to secure farm labor that
the land can be planted to some food
crop. Potatoes planted as late as
June goth will produce good yield,
if we'll cultivated, and rutabagas
planted as late as July 1st will give
a good yield.
This is year to cut out expert
menting and one in which crops are
sure of good yield, should be plant
ed. The nation has a job before it
in feeding the world that is big
one and it is up to the farmers to do
their best. Everyone can encourage
labor to seek farm work.

May AND JUNE are the months in
which to swat the fly if you want to
make your swats count for anything.
Many of us do most of our swat

This is wrong. 1t is backward
step. 1t spells delay, indicates dis
elimination and almost becomes I'M

this critical time, any such outlay
would be a mistake" The contractor
who built the brick pavement on
upper Bayfield,, was in the city Satur-
day and went about the city uttering
just such a wall of discomfort. There
is "nigger in the woodpile. Men

The property owners OF lower
Bayfield, street, from the end of the
present paving, have asked that the
paving be extended and have gone
through the necessary legal process
to have the work done this summer.
This has been sanctioned by the city
council and yet there is discourag-
ing note running through the city in
opposition to the plan. 1t comes
from various sources and has taken
on various forms.

SOME MEN may not be able to GO to

with the production of crops, but
there is one thing that every in
dividual in the land can do that will
aid the government and that is to
save by cutting down in the daily
meals and menus. The people Of

looked upon as an extravagant loi

carry out their legally expressed
desires in this matter.

In the first place, there is nc
critical time. Wages are high and
prices of all comodities are high.
True. There is big war in Europe
and the United States has stripped
for action. True again. But the
leaders of finance and business in the
East and the various heads of the
government from the president
down have all sounded the key
note of prosperity and have urged
the people of this country to not
retrench. 1t is good sound advice.

very harmful. Just plain mulsificd CO.
Coanut oil (Which is pure and entirely

You can use for shampoong, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
