1t has been decided by the Com
mercial Club to purchase at least one
double-decked carload of sheep
next fall for distribution among far
mers who are equipped for keeping
small lots say from five to ten ewes
each. The club through its secre-
tary and County Agent V. E. Bru-
baker, will make all arrangements
and citizens, privately, are endorsing
the plan. No citizen will be held
for greater liability than $50, and
all will endorse the notes when the
sheep are bought. County Agent
Brubaker and the secretary give
their personal attention to the pro-
ject until the lambs come and notes
are paid.

Every commercial club should

of this fund we should purchase on
sight, a one-way ticket for the man
who has nothing good to say about
his home city. 1t should be a long
ticket and should carry the man a
long ways. So far the Secretary
has had no demand for any out-ot-
town tickets for anybody. But the
train runs every day and the man
who has no faith in Washburn, if
there be such an one, should speed
lily get one of these tickets and

Sheep raising spells wealth, both
for the farmer and for the commun-
ity where the industry is thriving.
No investment for farmers calls for
less expenditure of capital, time and
labor than this industry, and none
yields greater per cent of profit, an
nually. Washburn wants and will
eventually secure more industries
that give employment, but if this
region can become a great sheep
raising locality, it will mean certain
quick prosperity for farmers and
merchants, stability to the farming
business and rapid improvement
Of the land.

What does any larger city possess
that Washburn does not possess?
Did the readers of this newspaper
ever stop to ponder over this? The
world is made up of units and that
meaus individuals as to the human
family and settlements, as to their
abiding places. You have 5000
units in Washburn, and SO times
that many in Minneapolis, for liz
stance. These units, however, are
very much alike, as human nature
goes. The world, happily, averages
up very nicely. The city with
more individual units than Washburn
has more places of habitation-mo
houses and public buildings. That
is about the only distinction.

There is one principle that is at
once the keynote to bodybuilding.
This principle, when sincerely adopt
ed and adhered to, is good for large
cities and small ones. 1t is for men
to individually look upon the bright
side of the shield to keep silent if
they cannot encourage, projects that
are launched for the good of the
community. Men do not all see
alike and all honest men are entitled
to their own views and convictions.
But for the very reason that men do
not see alike proves our contention
that if an agreement is not reached
unanimously, those dlsagreeing,
after giving their opinions voice in
committee room or meeting should
not go out in the community and
speak adversely about what the
majority has agreed to. Because
there is some merit in every
proposition and in every person.

A New York man was a visitor at

He looked about him, sat down in

You have the right spirit here, and
it you keep this sort of work up,
nothing can hold you back.

Travel whittier you will, you are
pretty sure of finding men and
women, young and old, doing about
the same sort of things, turning to
about the same sort of pursuits and
engaging in the same sort of diver
sions. Their impulses are much
alike. The hearthstone is the
foundation of society, whether it be
in Washburn, Minneapolis, Bayfield,
or Ashland. The church and the
school go hand in hand, everywhere,
as aides to social betterment. The
advancement villages and cities make
