Any man who joined the CONNER
cial Club with the idea that it was
to be merely pastime and some
thing to make Washburn stand on 8
par with other cities-a name and
nothing more, did himself an in
justice. Those men who were SO
progressive as to subscribe to the
special fund in order to employ an
executive secretary, expecting that
their responsibility would cease with
this financial contribution, made an
other mistake. If any OF either
class of citizens expected that such
liberal act upon their part consti-
tuted all that was necessary in this
movement, they were either wrong
y advised or have failed to study the
first principles of city-building
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-08

Teamwork is committee work.
The general weekly meetings of the
club are for the purpose of general
discussion and at times for threshing
out some of the bigger questions
that originate with the secretary and
are passed upon by the directors or
special or standing committees. But
committee work is the big essential
and men who accept appointment on
a committee must do so conscien-
tiously, realizing that it is for pur-
pose, good purpose-and that this
purpose is for the upbuilding of
Washburn. Show me the city or
village where certain proportion OF
the citizens will do good team work
and | will show you city that will
grow with rapidity; a city where
capital will be glad to come; a city
where industries thrive and new
ones come and Industrial and COM
mercial expansion grows apace with
the years.

the years.

Take Minneapolis, for it is close
home. Fifty years ago that city was
a struggling village known as St
Anthony Falls. ST Paul was the
metropolis and if anybody should
have told the leading business men
of St Paul that St Anthony Falls
would in less than half a century
become it's rival and finally in 1917
outstrip her-they would have been
laughed at for their pains. The his
tory of Minneapolis is written in the
teamwork of handful of enter
prising men who decided to build a
city there. They kept this up and
handed it down as heritage to their
sons. One of the big events of the
year in Minneapolis is the Sons OF
Members" dinner, given by members
of the Civic and Commerce associa-
ton Commercial club of Mime
apolis) to their sons, from five years
of age up, to 81. Think of it-they
are still educating their sons for
civic work-,for teamwork.

THE CO s slgl: rlAL CLUB and CITY AFFAIRS
Now there are men in Washburn
u Edited by Ed NJ Heermans Executive Secsetary.
Il Washburn

Now there are men in Washburn.
plenty of them good men too and
successful in their own business,
who will read these articles and
laugh. We know that because we
have been in the game long time
and have studied human nature. We
think none the less of them but
we will be having less to do with
them in our work from time to time,
because although they ave good men
but they are of small-caliber. The
really big men in Washburn will be
attending the committee meetings,
doing team work, they will attend
the club meetings and they will not
only be posted on what is going on
but they will be helping do them
with might and main. Gradually
in every community, the single
barrelled men get weeded out. The
small calibered men fall by the way
side. The big fellows elbow them
out of the way--in all kindness and
with no loss of friendship-but that
is the way of the world.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-08

Men who want to see their home
city grow must have faith in them.
selves as well as the city. Some OF
the things now proposed for WASH
burn are of u civic nature and neces-
sarily they come first. The indus
trial propositions are of slower grow
tn. But for the leaders ia the COM
munity to get together and work
out, solve and then create-enter-
prizes of civic nature, is an exer-
else that does them and the COM
munity tangible good. 1t gets them
Cd accustomed to working together
and (2) fits them for graphing with
the bigger things to follow. 1t will
not do to scott at these civic PROPOSE
tions as being immaterial, unimpor-
tant and unproductive. Every thing
that is accomplished for Washburn
of civic nature, makes the city all
the more inviting and attractive to
those who will later come here with
capital to locate enterprises that will
produce wealth.

To The Voters of The Fifteenth

cations from people of this cir
cult commencing my work as
circuit judge during this, my
first term in that Office, and
stating that they see no reason
why change should be made
at this time and that they will
support me for reelection next
April. | desire also to acknow-
ledge. in more public manner
than by personal letters, the
receipt of I. a statement signed
by most Of the lawyers Of the
circuit, endorsing my work as
circuit Judge and asking that 1
stand for reelection.
All of these expressions of
recognition Of my efforts to
serve the people efficiently are
highly appreciated by me, and
in placing myself before the
voters for re election [ do so
with assurance to the public
that my whole aim in the future,
if re elected, shall. as in the
past. be to administer the duties
of the Office to the best of my
ability.
The work of the court, and
particu arly at this time of the
year, is such that will be un-
able, between now election day,
April 3rd, to get around to see
very many of the voters and
shall have to leave my candidacy
to you, relying upon my record
of the past term, for support.
[ feel that the voters Of this

Washburn wants a hospital and
summer concerts and wants an in
dustrial fair each year and wants a
new high school building and wants
two or three building and loan
associations and lot of these things.
She will get them, too. They are
not factories, but they are of civic
and economic value. If you attended
some of the committee meetings you
would see the men in action who are
going after these things and who
will be right in the forefront when
Washburn begins to claim her own.
OF course the men who laugh and
scott and hold back and discourage
the work and discourage everything
good in the city--will be ready to
climb on the wagon when Washburn
gets to going good, and will be as
proud as anybody. God bless them,
we shall give them a welcome, when
the time comes. But it is true of all
cities that a few men take the
leadership, bear the brunt of re-
sponsibility and hard work and
criticism BUT THEY ALWAYS
WIN. Probably SO men in this city
have faith in it perhaps more. But
by their works shall ye know them
and by prompt, efficient committee
work will the Commercial club find
out who these men are.

A time will come when Washburn,
Ashland and Bayfield, will be asked
to join hands in some of the biggest
propositions that have ever come be-
fore a region like this of the Che
quamegon bay district. That time
is not now, but it is not far hence.
So, we OF Washburn have to be
organized, we will have to be united,
we will have to weed out the drones
and the pessimists and put forward
them men who will do good team
work--why? So that we can take
care of Washburn's interests when
these big Chequamegon bay projects
come along, that no other town will
get more than her share. Big out
side interests do not stop to ask us
what our animosities are; they scorn
local factions; they have no time for
petty quibbling or jealousies. They
will come to us-and the secretary
knows what he is talking about, and
saw" Washburn, are you ready
eve must have but one answer =
eve are ready and fully equipped.

To Whom it May Concern

The report has been started about
the city by some person to the effect
that the rates of meals were raised
at the Lamoreaux Hotel after the
Hotel Washburn fire, and Mr.. Van
denberg has asked us to inform the
public that the order for menu cards
on which the rate was raised was
given at this office during the latter
part Of January, the menu cards be-
ing printed and delivered on Jan.
% h. some time before the other
Hotel fire. Mr.. Vandenberg stated
at the time of giving the order that
hotels throughout the country were
raising their rates owing to the
high cost of living and be was com
PEELED to do the same, The fact
that the Hotel Washburn burned
had nothing to do with the raise in
rates. Washburn Times.

So committee work, teamwork, }
in handling these civic questions that
come up first for attention, will train
us together to the better handle the
industrial and commercial problems.
Until the active workers get into
harness and understand fully what
it means to have an executive secre-
tary and learn to play up to him and
cooperate and attend meetings and
go out among the people and get
things accomplished-in other words
learn what commercial club work
really means and how to do tit
would be folly for us to consider
any of the big problems and pro-
positions. We would not be organized
and ready to grapple with them.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-08

1t is just as important to join in
some of the civic movements now
pending and push them to successful
conclusion as to secure a factory
forthwith. More SO, if we speak the
truth. For this is joint movement,
one in which the citizenship must
work daily with the executive secre-
tary of the club, and all work lead
ing up to bigger things is practice in
teamwork. Teamwork is the first
essential to be learned and practiced.
1t is paramount.

This year is the most important in
the history of Washburn. If this
movement fails now, it will never be
revived. If an executive secretary
fails to get proper response, team
work and results i'm Washburn this
year, than no other commercial
secretary can do it. 1t is not the
man-some are better than others
il is how the citizens respond to the
man. That's the whole thing.

HIGH COST OF LIVING
AND STUMPS
The Why of the 1917 Land
Clearing Campaign in
Upper Wisconsin.

Of the Wisconsin Advancement
association has spread over
upper Wisconsin like a NAM
moth blanket. The farmers
are not only responding to the
cal, but they are taking an
active part in it. They are Co
operating with the GENITAL office
at Milwaukee. They are writing
the association for more in
formation about land clearing
and equipment. They have
awakened as they never did be-
fore to the Importance of get
ting their land under cultivation
and doing it now.
To make a saving of forty per
cent in the cash outlay. and get
an equipment that will enable
them to do materially more
clea ring in given time and
that without the heavy work
that has characterized land
clt airing in the past-these are
some of the causes for the great
awakening. The higher cost OF
material and of living that has
prevailed since the beginning
of the European war were caus-
ing distress with the beginners
just as it was with people every
where. It was the logical NOM
ent for starting this great
movement for cheaper and
easier land clearing.
During the land clearing
demonstrations by the college
Of agriculture in 1916, the Off
GERS Of the Wisconsin Advance
ment ASSOCIATION were upon the
grounds consulting with the
farmers as to their wishes and
their needs. It was a certainty
that something should be done
and it was apparent that the
Wisconsin Advancement asso-
citation was the one agency that
was equipped to do it promptly
and efficiently. 1t is being
done,
Some said that so, 900 farmers
could not be reached and con-
vinced in a few weeks, but it
has been done. Scores of com.
munities will be saved 81, 800 to
1000 or more this spring on
their land clearing equipment
There will be cleared thousands
of acres that otherwise would
have remained in their former
condition. and this will add hun
dreds of thousands of dollars
to the value of upper Wisconsin
land. These thousands of acres
of newly cleared land will add
it's productiveness to the agri-
cultural output of the state.
The proposition is immense.
It is everybody's movement and
the beauty of the situation is
that every body is responding
to it.

More Cows and More Prosperity

That upper Wisconsin needs
more COWS will oe agreed to by
everyone. That result will fol
low the speeding up of land
clearing in the northern coun-
ties. No other result is possible
Cows mean prosperity and that
is what the 1917 land clearing
campaign means. The campaign
for more and better cows is
grand one, but behind it the1 e
is an over whelming necessity
for more cleared acres. Let's
Lave a speeding up of land
clearing.

Potatoes and Stumps

An acre of potatoes next fall
will pay for the material re-
ouired to clear several acres OF
stumps, but the thing just now
is to plan to clear the land.

Making Land Clearing and Cheap

The conspiracy against stumps
that is involved in the land
clearing campaign for 1917 is
generally looked upon from a
strict dollars and cents stand
point. 1t means more than that
although that would be enough.
It means that land clearing is
TO be made easier as well as
cheaper, The modern stump
pulIers and pliers and proper
use of dynamite removes the
heavy work. 1t is no longer
"backbreaking work." out it is
as pleasant and healthful as any
outdoor labor-as easy as oper-
ating a cleared farm. Let
everyone spread this informa-
ton and upper Wisconsin will
speedily come unto it's own.
