Bayfield, County Man is Given Treat
ment for Alleged DislOyalty
Party Said to Have Been Put on by
Bayfield, County Loyalty
League.

The town of Grandview in
Bayfield, county was the scene of
a tar and feather party last Sat-
urday night when Martin john
son, a farmer residing near
Sweden, was taken from his
home and given a coat of tar and
feathers.
Johnson is reported to have
made disloyal remarks regarding
the Government and also to have
cast slurs about the Red Cross
and it's work. The Ashland
Press says it is reported that
Johnson's name was given to
U. S. District Attorney but no
action was taken and the Bay
field County Knights got busy.
The companythat administered
the tar and feathers is said to
have acted in a business like
manner. They appeared at the
johnson home in an automobile
at about nine o'clock Saturday
night and asked to be directed
to a fishing stream. Johnson
went with them to show them
and after being taken to a lonely
spot he was disrobed and given
a coat of tar and feathers.
Johnson says he did not recog-
nize any of the parties and there
is no clue to the perpetrators of
the deed.

Many from This City Went Over to
See Finish of Booze at Ashland
Thirst Parlors Disposed Of Most of
Their Stocks Early in
the Evening.

There was wild time at Ash
land last Saturday evening when
the saloons of that city closed
their doors for a year at least
and probably for all time to come.
Not only did the Ashland people
turn out in great numbers to see
King Alcohol writhe and squirm
in his death throes, but hum
dreds of people from neighbor-
ing towns and cities were also
present as mourners and to at
tend the wake.
Liquors of all kinds flowed
freely. Hundreds were there to
take their last long sip while the
saloon men had plenty of men
on hand to dish out the stuff for
they will no longer have need
for it as Ashland remains dry
for year at least.
All day Saturday the saloons
were crowded and as the time
for closing came the crowds
grew larger and more noisy and
some places were the scenes of
wild disorders. Ashland police
officers had their hands full try
ing to keep order and as result
of the celebration the Ashland
city Jail rapidly filled up with
persons who had inbibed too
freely.
So anxious were the saloon
men to get rid of their stocks
that many disposed of their
stocks in large quantities early
with the result that a number
of them run short long before
the closing time.
For great many years Ash
land had been wet and although
number of efforts were made
to vote the city dry the attempts
all failed until this spring when
majority was given for the
drys. Ashland has been afraid
to try the experiment, but after
years trial the people of that
place will be satisfied that they
had made the change. This has
been the case in every city where
the saloons have been voted out
With Ashland dry this closes
the only wet place on Chequam.
egon bay, Washburn having
been dry for several years in
succession while Bayfield, went
dry for good two yesrs ago
The nearest oasis now is Iror
River but that place is so fal
distant that little patronage will
come from the Chequamegor
bay cities.

Here on a Visit

Oscar Palm, who is stationed
at Camp Robinson near Sparta,
was here over the week end
visiting with relatives and
friends. Oscar is in the heavy
artillery squad and is rapidly
learning to sight the big guns
Of the United States army.
Oscar was always a crack shot
with the common rifle and if he
developes with the big guns as
well as he has with the smaller
arms the Germans will have
something to fear when his
squad reaches the firing line.

ceiying treatment at the hotpital at

An Advance in Price

Because of the tremendous
advance in the price of doing
business occasioned by war and
other conditions The Times finds
it necessary this week to an
nounce an advance in the price
of it's newspaper of SOC per year
making the subscription from
July 1st $500 per year.
Despite war conditions the
Times has endeavored to main
tain the old price in the face of
the advance in the price Of labor,
print paper, inks, etc. but we
are now confronted with a fur
ther raise in the price of getting
out a newspaper by an advance
in the postage and the freight
which makes it impossible to
maintain our pre- war price of
$1.5O per year.
Since the war was first de-
clared there has been big ad
vance in the price of almost
every commodity and this ad-
vance has also been felt heavily
by newspapers. but during the
period from 1914 the Times has
ass amed this advance and still
maintained the price of the
paper.
But now comes a fixing of the
price of print paper by the
government which advances the
price to publishers and on tor
| of this comes an advance in the
postage rate and in the freight
rate which makes it impossible
to continue at the old price.
/ Atthe present raise the Times
lsubrcription rate is still below
that Of our many papers
throughout the United States.
/ Daily papers during the pas
week have all advanced the price
of their papers due to the same
reasons that has forced thu
Times to raise it's rate,

Subscrihes for Full Quote in War
Savings Drive
Reports From County Slow in Coming
in. Campaign to be
Continued.

the city Of Washburn, town of
Washburn, Bayview, Barksdale,
Eileen, and Pilsen, went over
the top in the War Savings Cam
paign which was waged through
out Bayfield, county during the
past week. All returns from
this district are not as yet in
but with what figures have been
received the district is now well
over the top and additional
figures received will only help
to pile up the totals.
In the outlying districts the
campaign organizations were
we'll formed and the districts
were thoroughly canyassed.
This is especially true at the
Barksdale plant where the work
was in charge of Superintendent
F. T. Beers and the heads of the
various departments, and in the
town of Eileen where the organ
ization was formed by Mrs.
Elizabeth Ketchem Hoyt. These
districts report a heavy sub
scription, and helped in a large
measure to bring the Washburn
district over the top.
In the city of Washburn some
of the wards were well canvassed
and the Woman's organization
headed by Mrs. ]. S. Fletcher
did excellent work but in some
of the wards the organizations
were not we'll formed and the
subscriptions from these wards
were light. Because of this fact
a number of persons in the city
were not solicited and it will be
necessary to do the work over
again in some of the wards.
Cards are now being checked
up and the names of the persons
listed and where it is found that
persons have not subscribed or
have not subscribed the amount
they should another visit will be
made. These persons may yet
subscribe for the War Savings
Stamps by calling at the office
of Chairman Downs in the office
of the Washburn Electric Light
and Power company or at the
Times office.
In the Mason district the work
was handled by Chairman
Charles Larson and he reports
that every home in his district
has been visited and everyone
given an opportunity to SUBJ
scribe. This is also true in the
Drummond district which was
handled by Chairman r. G. Car
ter. Mr.. Carter has not as yet
odo bis report to Chairman
Downs but is busily checking up
his districts for slackers.
The Port Wing district handled
by Chairman Okerstrom Of Port
Wing, the Bayfield, district
handled by Chairman Wilkinson
and the Iron River district
handled by Chairman Ripley
have not as yet forwarded their
reports.
Many people in subscribing
for additional war savings
stamps, have neglected to state
Ito the solicitors the amount of
stamps which they now hold,
and had this been done in ever
instance the totals would k-.o
Ibeen largely increased. If any
person failed to so report they
should Immediately write to
Chairman Frank Downs or get
in touch with their district
! Chairman and report such
stamps now on hand.
