YELLOW PAINT
WAS APPLIED
Number Of Cars and Some Business
and Residence Places Treated
Said That Owners Used Their Automo-
biles on Sunday When Govern
ment Said Not to.

The yellow paint brush was
applied to a number of places in
Washburn on Monday morning
by persons who had the idea
that the government regulation
on gasoline use on Sunday had
not been complied with. Some
property damage was done. 1t
lis rumored that the artistic
painters" expect to follow up
their trade should there be any
others who use their automobiles
on Sunday.
The percentage of persons
using their automobiles last Sun
day was very small compared
with the number of automobiles
in the city and while there was
some riding for pleasure, yet
the majority of those out were
able to give good excuses. yet in
some instances the paint was
applied just the same,
The government has requested
persons owning automobiles to
give up pleasure riding on Sun
day in order to conserve the
gasoline. While this was only a
request on the part of the gov
ernment applying to the states
lying east of the Mississippi,
yet it was understood that un-
less the resasts desired were OBJ
tanned that a formal order would
be issued, but the people owning
automobiles have demonstrated
that they are with the govern
ment in anything asked to win
the war and pleasure riding has
been given up in most cases.
While there are some few in
every city who will not observe
the request unless an order is
issued, yet on a whole the re-
quest has been generally OBJ
served.
The names of persons opera
ting automobiles on Sunday are
being taken and will be given to
the County Council Of Defense
where they will probably have a
chance to explain. There are
cases where it is absolutely
necessary to operate machines,
and the government does not
ask that these machines be tied
up, but the government does,
request that automobile riding
for pleasure be dispensed with
and persons who refuse to obey
this request are working against
the best interests of our govern
ment and are somewhat lacking
in their loyalty.
The request is not working a
hardship on anyone and every
one owning machines should
willingly give up this small
pleasure for it is little compared
with what the boys are sacri-
fcing on the battlefelds of
France. By conserving on gas
oline it is helping to win the
war while on the other hand
Kaiser Bill smiles every time
someone oversteps the request
when they can offer no good ex-
cuse. The question is are you
with Uncle Sam or with Kaiser
Bill?
The persons owning cars who
keep them tied up during the
day and they sneak out at night
when they think they will not
be observed are entitled to but
little sympathy when they find
the yellow paint applied.

BIG SHIP YARDS ARE

family to support | was unable
to personally see many of the
voters during the campaign
Words fail to express the ap,
probation / feel, for the honor
conferred upon me under the
prevailing conditions
Near the end of the campaign
in u circular mailed to the voters
my opponent Mr.. Duffy asked a
few questions which will now
try and answer in part.
Mr.. Duffy is "29 years Of
age" and should be fighting for
Iour country and not spending
his time trying to get nominat-
| ed to an Office that will exempt
| him from service. We under
stand that Mr.. Duffy is not sole
owner (nor does he claim to be)
0f a far N. IL he is so patriotic
about farming why spend a good
portion OF his time in politics.
Mr.. Duffy misrepresented the
question of the LA Toilette reso.
Tuition. Mr.. LaFollette was un-
der accusation for utterances
outside of tile Senate but the
resolution ia particular con.
demned him for his action in
the Senate whereby he held up
appropriations for war purposes
which in the end will mean the
loss Of tens Of thousands of lives,
and what is worse, greatly ex-
tended period Of suffering for
the women and children Of
Z z s.ssd . am.
Who could, in fairness, fail to
condemn che that would do this
unless it was one abessed as
was Trotsky and Lenine with a
vague idea that there was some
thipg that would alleviate all
work and provide a comfortable
resistance without effort.
AS to taxation, | firmly be-
lieve that / can accomplish
more foi the farmer than Mr..
Duffy. am proud to say that
/ have worked more hours on a
farm. produced more results
before | was twenty years Of
age than Mr.. Duffy has in his
twenty-nine years.
Mr. Downs cannot deny that
he is connected with the North
ern State Bank and the w. b..
L. 81 p. Co. I have no desire to,
but let me state that due to fair
dealing not one complaint has
been sent to the Railway Com
mission of Wisconsin concern
ing rates, service or anything
pertaining to the treatment of
he patrons. Mr.. Duffy never,
except for a very short period,
employed labor to any extent
and he has q very poor idea as
TO what labor is entitled to.
Ask anyone who has worked
for Downs how he treats labor.
The same men stay with him
from year TO year.
aWhere does Mr.. Downs stand
on important questions?' He
will as in the past stand for our
glorious country and back up
the president in any thing to
bring the war to victorious
close. He will back up any just
Legislation. He will not play
the "dog in the manger" actand
be unaole to get results. He
will be in Madison (if elected)
during the coming session of
The legislature and as usual will
be pleased to meet not only "the
most rfGlfnancial interests
Bayfield, County has ever
known" (whoeyer they are we
are not afraid Of them but the
most humble citizen in our dis
trict, the latter preferred. Ask
anyone who knows Downs if t e
last statement does not coincide
with my present reputation.
Did you notice any OF the
interests out with lEeir autos
llaboriig for Downs?
