THE REAPER

In his diary under date Of Dec. ..
1898. Henry w. Longfellow wrote:
beautiful. holy morning within
me. I was softly excited, I knew not
why. and wrote with peace in my
heart and not without tears in my
eyes. The Reaper and the Sewers, q
Psalm Of Death I have had an idea
of this kind in my mind for a Ions
time. without finding any expression
for it in words. This morning II
seemed to crystalline at once without
any effort of my own" This psalm
was printed in the Knickerbocker for
January. 1889, with the subtitle, "A
Psalm Of Death"
There is q, reaper whose name 1.
s. death,
And with his sickle keen
He reaps the bearded grain at q
breath,
And the flowers that grow between.

Army recruits training at Fort slocum.

Raw recruits for the army are u.s.
ually found to be a little too soft for
military duties at first and a month
or SO is spent in hardening them for
the daily drills. Fort Slocum. N. Y,
is now the scene Of initial training
and the green rockies shipped there
are able to go through quite a little
hard work when officers have put
them through the first PAGES.
AS a rule the hardening up exer-
cises dealt out to the recruits do not
last more than a month and at the
close of that time they are sent to
the regular army posts where they
given post graduate courses.

Bayfield, County Teachers Loyal.

Washburn, Wis. Nov. goth, 1917.
The following extracts are from a
letter written to Mrs. E. C. AIvord
Chairman of the Woman Committee
of the County Council of Defense by
Mrs. Mary P. Morgan, Chairman of
the Woman's Committee of the State
Council of Defense.
The committee of training camp
activities of the war departm ent will
through various agencies be able to
care for the men within the camps,
but has turned over to- the women of
this country the caring for the women
and girls who visit and work within
the camps, women and girls who are
crowding the communities adjoining
the camps and young girls who are
crowding into the industrial centers
where large numbers of women are
needed for the war contracts.
In one center 400 girls arrived
to work in the uniform factories and
the housing facilities for such num-
her were entirely inadequate. In a
munition factory near our own state
1900 girls are employed working in
ten hour shifts, and because of bad
housing conditions, are having to
sleep three in bed
THE Young Women's Christian
Association has the organization, the
workers aid the machinery for this
work, and is now asking for funds.
Realizing that this is one of the most
important phases of woman's war
work, the Executive Committee OF
the Woman's Committee of the
State Council of Defense, at recent
meeting, voted to assist the young
Women's Christian Association in
raising the necessary funds.
"The amount apportioned to Wis
consin is $75, 700 to 100000. This
is small sum when we consider that
it means safeguarding of the health
and morals of thousands of our
women and girls, and will indirectly
benefit our enlisted men.
Bayfield, County is asked to raise
$500.
While the Young Mems Christian
Association campaign is on with
$35, 900, 900 as its goal, we must
also bear in mind the needs of the
women, who are standing with the
men in every effort made.
We know that the public school
teachers have been active in many
lines of work. We now ask you to
stand behind the move to raise the
$500. If each teacher in the county
will hold herself or himself respon-
-sible for raising. $500, the money
will begraised. Teachers who have
been interviewed have expressed a
willingness to do this, and also say
that they would like to feel that
raising this particular fund should be
our professional bit of work.
Ways and means are left to the
teachers with this prohibition. Dc
not levy direct tax upon the pupils,
They may assist in entertainments
etc. but should not be asked for
money.
December 10th is the date set for
completing the campaign.
A postal card is enclosed. Please
return it at once to Mrs, Alvord
stating that you will do this work,
or that you cannot u ndertake it. We
shall then know what other measures
if any need be taken.
We shall feel proud if we can carry
this campaign through successfully.
Send the money to Mrs. E. c.
Alvord, Washburn, Wis, not latter
than December 10th.
Yours for success,
Jessie N. Smith,
Member of Committee

JUST A LITTLE BIT
OF EVERYTHING.
By ''NIBS"

Nels Nelson is game old sport
ven though he has rounded out
almost three score of years. Nels
vent hunting the other day, going
ny way of the 3attleaxe route.
When he arrived at his destination
ne noticed that the firing pin on his
rife was broken. The next train
ior home did not leave again until
Monday and what fine lot OF hunt
ing would be missed so Nes started
out for home, taking the tie route,
got his gun repaired and returned
TO the hunting camp the next day.
Many younger hunter would not
rave tackled the trip.
We are told that deer are not
afraid of skirts and that woman
can approach a deer while hunter
could not get within shooting dis
lance. If this be true then it is up
to lot of hunters to don skirts and
ramble through the forests for they
do not seem to have any luck any
,ther way,
Occasionally we hear someone
mentioning the crowded condition
in the city and how two or three
men have to occupy "a single room,
but this is tame in comparison with
some of the hunting lodges. There
is a small shack out on the Barrons
Mhere eighteen hunters were housed
Turing the forepart OF the season.
Jay Fletcher is not saying much
about his ability as a marksman
any more. Jay served in the Span
ish- American war and naturally he
figured with his past experience
that he did not have to take the
back seat for anyone when it came
to shooting. But Jay has changed
his mind. Jay was out hunting the
past week and was just itching to
get a crack at a deer. His chance
came. A fine buck walked right
into the middle of the road ami
gave Jay time to fire. three times.
-
when Mr.. Buck turned and waved d
ar well with hig flag as much as to
to say "you never touched me-.
"Mose'' Hansen certainly has the
hunting bug if anyone ever had it.
He went out hunting last Wednes
day and his partners returned home
or Saturday. Nose came to town
with them, gathered up another
e. ovid and started for the camp
again the same evening. Back
came the next crowd Monday and
Nose returned with them gathered
up another crowd and started back
again. Can you beat it?
"Hank" Swanby has changed his
occupation. From this time on he
is going to devote his time in show
ing Uncle Samuel how TO build
concrete "Pill'' houses, move big
guns. etc. Henry has joined the
engineering corps, and with his
experience as logger. house
mover and concrete man will be
valuable asset to the army.
