To the Farmers of Bayfield, County

Do not fail to spray your pO-
tatoes for the potato bugs this
year. All the leaf surface is
needed by the plant to produce
and mature the tubers. The
leaf is tie stomach of the plant.
Do not use Paris Green for the
bugs. 1t is too expensive. You
are liable to burn the leaves by
using too much. Use arsenate
of lead. It takes two pounds Of
this in dry form to so gallons of
water. This will stick to the
leaves longer and kill more bugs
than the paris green. The re.
tail price of paris green is Coo
per pound and 40c per pound
for arsenate Of lead. The Far.
mers Fruit Association handle
this at Washburn and Bayfield,.
In other parts of the county ask
your dealers to get this for you
if possible. l will guarantee
that you will like this better
and it will save you money. l
have used it on potatoes and
cherries and apples for worms
and find it very satisfactory.

farm call me by phone or write
me what you want, stating price
you will pay, kind of work to be
done and all details concerning
help wanted and will try and
furnish you ifpossible with this
Lelp.
Remember labor of all kind is
high and farmers must pay well
and get along with more less in.
efficient help this season. If
any one can give me information
stating who wants work on the
farm l can find place for them.
Yours truly

This is Red Cross
Week.
Do Your Bit.

The President of the
United States has issued
earnest appeal for the vol
untary contribution $780,
100000 in aid of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, the worlds
greatest humanitarian So
ciety. This week has been
specially designated as Red
Cross Week and every citi-
zen is urged to give cheer
fully, and just as generous
ly as possible, in helping to
swell this fund.
Making banking resources
the basis of the apportion-
ment of the sum to be raised
it has been determined that
this community should pro-
duce the sum of $1,000.
That's what we who remain
at home are asked to give
for the procuring of life
saving attentions for the
more than a score of boys
who have gone forth to do
battle for their country and
for the other scores who
yet may go.
The sum is little enough.
It ought tobe given prompt
ly and cheerfully. Active
campaign of personal solici-
tation will be made here,
commencing Thursday and
continuing to and including
next Monday. In response
to this solicitation there
should be no Stacking"
Every man, every woman
ought to "come across for
the Red Cross when called
upon by the solicitors.
There should be many gifts
of $40; many more of $5.
None ought to .ask "How
little can [ give?" but the
query should be "How open
handed can / afford to be in
behalf of the most worthy
cause?"

Match to be Staged Here
One of the Finest Cards of the Season
is Offered to the Boxing
Fans.

The third boxing match staged
by the F. T. Beers Club of this

the best cards ever offered to
the fans of this city.
The main bout of the evening
will be ten round no decision
affair between Battling johnson
of this city who has won a lot of
arena fame, and Kid Blaettler of
Marshfield. The Marshfield lad

of reputation as ring master
and he will meet a general of
the ring in young Johnson. This
match promises to be the best
and fastest the fans of this city
have ever seen.
The semi-windup also promises
to be a thriller and will be be-
tween Billy Perkins of Rhine
lander and Tommy Krieg of
Marshfield. Perkins will be re-
membered to the fans Of this
section as the man who fought
Art Godfrey here some years
ago. He is an old timer and a
good boxer. His opponent will
be Tommy Krieg, the Marshfield
boy who battled with the Greek
from Milwaukee in the last
match held in this city. 1t pro-
misses to be a good go.

between Young Moore of Amigo
and Young Nelson of this city.

in every part Of Bayfield, county,
having been arranged through
the local Chapter and is being
carried on by the branch chapters
throughout the county.
There is not person in the
city or in the county who should
not assist in swelling this fund.
The cause is a worthy one. The
Red Cross organization assists
in caring for the sick and
wounded soldiers of all nations,
it helps to care for the depen-
dent widows and orphans, it re-
lieves suffering in every country
on the globe. No matter what
your nationality may be you
should be interested in the great
cause. You should give as
|liberaly as you can to assist the
Red Cross organization.
On Sunday a committee of the
local Red Cross chapter COM
posed of William Olson, Frank
Downs, Fl. P. Axelberg and Nels
Myhre, accompanied by j. P.
|O'Connor of Superior and d. J.

campaign at Gable, Nels Myhre
will look after the work at Ma
son, D. M. Maxcy will start the
campaign at Grandview and
Drummond and other committee
men will be dispatched to other
parts of the county.
Everyone must help. While
your sons may be fighting in the
trenches it is up to you to donate
your dollars to care for them
should they become sick or
wounded. Your money will go
to help feed widows and orphans
who may become utterly depen-
dent through the war.
We know that Bayfield, county
will do it's share in this great
movement. We know that the
hearts of the people of the coun-
ty are right and that they be-
lieve in the movement and the
campaign which is now on. With
the $1OO,OOO,0O0 the American
Red Cross society will be able to
carry on the work which has
been placed before it in this
great world war.
Let's swell this fund to large
proportions. The cause is wor-
thy. Let everyone assist.
