Wrote Us Up.

Some (enterprising:) citizen
of this city who had more time
than sense endeavored to break
into print in the columns of the
Twin City Reporter recently
with an article which did great
injustice to Washburn as a city,
and several copies of this sheet
were sent to this city where
they were left at a number of
business places by being placed
under the door.
The article gave Washburn
the credit of being the wettest
dry" city IN the United States,
where "hell-snorting" jags were
let off with a dollar and costs
with the fine RENTED. Where
the "rock-pile" was unknown.
The letter and article ESQ the
Reporter said) was accompanied
by an affidavit setting forth its
truthfulness.
And this kind of Junk" came
from the pen of a Washburn
citizen and was published as
such in the Twin City paper.

: From a speech ny Lincoln

On the 22nd of August. 1864,
the l66th Ohio Regiment passed
through Washington on it's way
To the front. They stopped be.
lore the White. House and Presi-
dent Lincoln thus addressed
them:
happen temporarily to occupy
this White House. / am a living
witness that anyone OF your
children may look to come here
as my fathers child has. 1t is
in order that each one of you
may have. through this free
government. which we have en-.
enjoyed. an open field and fair
chance for your industry, enter.
poise, and intelligence; that you
may have all equal privileges in
tile race of life, with all it's de-
sirable human aspirations. II
is for this the struggle should

Here You Are.

A dandy eight room dwelling

swing this deal and the balance
you can pay on monthly pay

rent. Why not quit paying rent
and begin paying on your own

The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1918-01-31

During the season of 1917, there
were organized in Bayfield, County
eight boys and girls clubs, at the
following points: Washburn, Bayfield,,
Ashland Junction, Benoit, Mason,
Moquah, Iron River, and Port Wing.
The membership in these clubs was
1854. Considerable interest was shown
by most of the members in these clubs.
At the local fairs hel1 the month
of September they eX:. ted some very
fine vegetables, viz; rutabages, toma-
toes, potatoes, cabbage, pumpkins,
cucumbers, carrots and parsnlps.
The idea of adding the vegetables to
the potato crop was to increase the
production of food. From the seed
potatoes distributed to the children
there was produced 1900 bushels or
good Green Mountain potatoes which
possibly will all be planted another
year. There was also produced from
the seed given the children about 5000
bushels of vegetables, besides pota-
toes. This is very encouraging in
deed when results of this kind are
tabulated from the effects of our boys
and girls between the ages of twelve
and eighteen. 1t only means couple
of hours day given to this kind or
work to produce these results. An
other year we expect to have clubs
at the above named location and also
at Grandview, Drummond, Cable, town
of Oulu, Herbster and COrnucopia.
The entire county will then be covered
and all boys and girls between the
ages of twelve and eighteen will be
given a chance to win prizes with a
few hours a day spent in this work.
The Green Mountain potato has beer
decided nearly in all parts of the coun-
ty to be our commercial variety OF
potatoes. Therefore, the children
will all receive this potato.
The work will be confined this year
entirely to potatoes and liberal prizes
will be awarded this fall at the local
fairs. There will also be another
chance for the club members to win
prizes at tie county fairs, II they
will bring their exhibits next fall.
The prizes for next year will be an
later.
Prizes amounting to $125.O0 were
given at the local fairs besides the

Elmer Sanders of Ashland

and Evans of Barksdale also ac-
copied his offer for a handicap
match.
This handicap was staged at
the Opera House last week and
Anderson easily defeated both
Foss and Evans in the given
time of one hour and many of
those who witnessed the bout
believed that Anderson could
have throwed both men in less
than ten minutes time.
Because of this great showing
made by Anderson everyone now
wants to see him take on San
ders and articles have been
signed for the match to be held
on the evening of February 7th
at the Opera House in this city.
Both Sanders and Anderson
are now preparing for the match
and it gives promise of being
one of the most interesting ones
ever staged in the city.
Sanders has a great many
admirers at Ashland and it is
said that the Ashland crowd is
willing to back their man to a
finish. Washburn wrestling
fans and the boys at the DUPONT
plant believe Anderson can
throw Sanders and they are not
taking any back water from the
Ashland crowd.
Manager Wright. who is pro-
noting the match, is making ar
rangements to seat one of the
biggest crowds that has ever at
tended a wrestling match in
this city.
A good preliminary is promised
for this match and will be be-

W. c. I. u. Notes.
Will One Million Working Men Lose Their
Jobs When Saloons are Closed?

JUuS WHICH, NdIUUtN 0IV OiUpUu'
Aside from the greatly exaggerated
figures given by the liquor men as to
the number of men employed in the
liquor business, their argument con-
corning lost jobs and other threaten
ed calamities is based entirely upon
the absured proposition that it the
liquor dealer fail to get the money
now spent for beer and whiskey no
body else will get it.
1t is assumed that the man who
formerly spent dollar for booze
will have no other use for that dollar
when the saloons are closed.
The last census figures show that
there are employed in the manu-
facture of booze only 62,920 wage
earners. Less than one fourth of
these Cor about Is, OOO) are brewers
maltsters, distillers and rectifiers.
The remainder are blacksmiths, car
penters, coopers electricians, engin-
GERS, machinists, painters, plumbers,
firemen and other mechanics.
There are more transfers employ
"a than ,vawarc
Would these men be compelled to
learn other trades if the breweries
were closed DOWN. Are brewey4es
the only places that employ. teams
tiers, carpenters, ETC.?
The fact is, when men no longer
spend their money for booze they will
use it to buy something else. which
will do good instead of harm, which
will have permanent value, and which
will give working men more work,
more wages, and greater prosperity
every way than if the same amount
of money were spent for beer and
whiskey.
Here roughly it is what will hap
pen when the money now invested in
the manufacture of liquor is trans
ferred to other industries, according
to the United States census figures:
Four times as many workers will
be employed.
Four Times as much wages will be
earned.
Four times as much raw material
will he required.
How can more workers employed,
more wages earned, and more raw
materials required, create labor
panic?
The interest of the saloon are al
ways opposed to the interests of the
working man.

are anxious to see him go on the

Old time wrestlers who have

have to go some to beat him.

Morgan Boy Dies

Arnold TIilgar the eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hilgar of Morgan
passed away very suddenly Sunday
morning. His death came so unex-
pectedly, that it came as great blow
to the family. The young man had
never been robust and was drafted
into the army last winter, and sent
to Camp Cody. Soon after his arri-
val at the camps he was taken i'll
with tonsilites and in short time it
became necessary for him to return
home as his physical and mental con-
dition grew steadily weaker.
During the summer he appeared to
grow stronger and he was desirous
of helping on the farm in any way
possible The past week the entire
family had been victim of the influ-
enza and on Saturday Arnold insisted
on helping his father husk corn in
the field. He complained of being
tired upon retiring for the night. Sun
day morning after calling a number
of times his father went to his bed
side and finding him unconscious called
a physician.
Death came before the arrival of
the doctor who pronounced the cause
of his death the result of influenza
The members of the family are all
confined to their beds with the epide-
. mic and the sympathy of the public
is with them in their sorrow.

CARL SCHEURER CONCERT COM.
PANY GAVE PROGRAM LAST
FRIDAY EVENING.

The Karl Scheurer Concert Com
pany entertained a large audience at
the Armory last Friday evening with
the best musical program Redwood
Falls has heard in many months. The
Company consists of the violinist,
cellist and harpist for the instrumen-
tation, and Clara Williams of Mime
apolis as the soloist. This was Miss
Williams initial appearance in Red
wood Falls and it was a very great
privilege extended to the audience
to have her here.
]. The three gentlemen are members
Of the Minneapolis Symphony Orch
estra and the numbers they played,
both solos and trios and as accom-
paniments to Miss Williams voice
were beautifully rendered. The sell
ections were all music by the mast
ers and formed a very high class
program. The first number of the
course alone was well worth the price
of the entire course and the city is
more than gratified at the selection
of talent for this course made by the
committee.
The second number of the course
will come early in November and
season tickets may still be obtained
from members to the committee hav-
ing the course in charge. M. C. Helm
superintendent Of schools is the man
ager of the course. Mr.. Helm states
that dates have been arranged so
that no numbers come on Saturday
night therefore making it possible
for business people to attend each
number.
Glenn Lukens left Monday noon for
Washington D. C. where he will take
up his work with the wounded sol
diers who have been returned to Am
erica. Mr.. Lukens work at present
will be more largely with the sol
diers who have suffered from shell
shock than those otherwise injured.

the women workers in the campaign
Mr.. Kaehler, representing the Liber-
ty Boys, Mrs. Calm, speaking for a
