Many Attend Meeting.

The joint Barksdale- Eileen
school district is having it's
troubles over the new High
School building being erected in
the town of Barksdale. A
rousing meeting was held at the
Barksdale town hall on Monday
evening at which it was voted
to suspend work on the buildings
until the books of the school
officers could be examined.
According to stories coming
from the meeting the main
trouble seems to be over the
rapidly mounting expenses.
When the high school was first
proposed it was expected that it
would cost in the neighborhood
Of $50, 900, but in addition to the
school building new residence
was erected for the school prin-
cipal and teachers and it was
also proposed to erect a house
and barn for the janitor.
At the meeting it was stated
that the costs had already
amounted to more than $50. 900
and that it would take at least
$50, 900 to complete the work
outlined.
The Eileen part of the district
seems to be the main objectors
to the building, fearing that the
expense will amount to such pro-
portions that it will become a
burden to them.
AS a result of the action Mon
day night the school building
will not be completed in time for
the opening of school.

Will Make the Run as the Loyalty
Candidate for Bayfield, County
Candidacy EndOrced by People from All
Parts of Bayfield,
County. &

| Upon returning from a busi-
ness trip to Medford the first of
the week, Frank Downs Of this
city learned that he had been
selected as the man to make the
run on the Republican ticket for
the Assembly, and upon being
informed that negative answer
would not be taken Mr.. Downs
finally consented to allow his
nomination papers to be cir
culated and he will become the
candidate at the primaries to be
held in September.
The selection of Mr.. Downs
as the candidate was made after
several conferences had been
held by representatives from
different parts of the county
for they believe him to be the
logical man to represent Bayfield,
County in the Legislature.
| Mr.. Downs is a rock-ribbed
republican and q. man whose
loyalty cannot be questioned.
He is we'll versed in legislative
matters and is a deep thinker
who reasons things out for him.
self. There never was a more
loyal man born than Frank
Downs. From the very begin
ming of the war he has. devoted
time and money to furthering
the interests of the United
States. He has a son Robert in
the enlisted services of his coun-
try, and were it not for the fact
that Mr.. Downs is above the age
where the Government will ac-
cept his services he would now
be fighting the cause of Demo
cracy. But what Mr.. Downs is
unable to do at the actual fight
ing front he is making up for it
by work at home. At the pres
ent time he is county chairman
of the War Savings campaigns
and it is largely due to his efforts
that Bayfield, county is making
such a showing.
In legislative matters Mr..
Downs stands for the things
that are of interest to the peo-
pie of Northern Wisconsin. II
nominated and elected he will
endeavor to give Bayfield, county
a good account of himself and a
good business like represent
alton.
News of Mr.. Downs willing
ness to make the run has been
well received throughout the
county and from every section
comes the offer of voluntary sup
port.
