Goes Under Knife to Enter Service.

Harry Soshea does not believe
in letting a little thing like an
operation stop him from getting
into Uncle Sans army. The
first Of the week Harry appeared
before the local Examining
Board for medical examination
and learned that he would be
rejected from service unless an
operation was performed.
Harry Immediately made his
way to Ashland where he made
arrangements for the operation
and on Tuesday morning went
under the knife and had the
operation performed. He is do
ing nicely and his only hope
now is that he will recover fast
enough to permit him leaving
with the rest Of the boys on
the 18th for the Training school
at Kansas city.
This is the kind Of spirit that
made America and is the kind
of spirit that is going to win the
wal against the Huns.

Mr.. Andrew Berge has been
appointed by the County Federal
Food Administrators as Deputy
for the City of Washburn, Mr..
Berge will receive bulletins and
information regarding the
regulations of the food laws

of the food laws make inquiry
of Mr.. Berge. He will also
issue special permits for canning
sugar to residents living IN

laws.
Merchants will continue TO

ty Food Administrator.

now finds opposition against him
in the present election. This
opposition does not come from
the special interests" as Mr..
Duffy would have you believe
but comes from the fathers of
our boys who condemn the stand
of LaFollette and Duffy.
This opposition comes from all
parts of Bayfield, county, from
rich and poor alike. The people
feel that if he erred in this ques-
tion he may err again.
On the other hand the voters
know just where Frank Downs
will stand. They know he will
go through thick and thin to
back up the boys "overthere'
for he has a son who is doing his
bit for Uncle Sam and he will
give his boy and yours all the
protection that war legislation
may give them, no matter by
which party the Legislation is
proposed. Frank Downs is an
out and out Republican, yet he
would not let his politics stand
in the way to block war legis-
lation that would be beneficial
to winning the war inthe quick
est possible manner for the
United States.
Frank Downs is not a politician.
He never sought a political
office in his life, yet he possesses
that sound judgment of legis-
lation that is needed at this time
and he will prove a valuable man
to Bayfield, county in the Assem-
bly,.
With Duffy it is a case of the
man seeking the Office, but with
Downs it is the case of the office
seeking the man.
Isit going to be Downs or
Duffy?
Which one do you want to
represent you?

County Clerk Oscar has Machinery
in Shape.
One Of the First Counties in the State
to Report Preparations
Made.

County Clerk Nels M. Oscar,
who is also secretary of the Lo-
cal Board wired Governor Phil
lip this week to the effect that
he had all machinery in shape
for the next big registration to
be made by the government,
which will include all men be-
tween the ages of 18 and 45
years.
This legislation is now before
Congress but it is expected to be
passed within few days and
the registration machinery of
the government is being made
ready for handling the registra-
ton.
Secretary Oscar has made a
canvass of the entire county
getting his men ready for MAX
ing the registration, being one
of the first in the state to report
the work completed.
There will be much more work
to the coming registration than
there was year ago last June
as all males between the ages of
18 and As must be registered for
military service under the pend
ing bill.

Need lacking Up

We are informed that an auto
accident last week which result
ed in one person being quite
seriously injured was caused by
a team turning out on the wrong
side of the road, forcing the car
into the ditch. Some of the
team drivers have learned the
rules of the road while others
have not and some of these are
just as apt to turn out ON the
wrong side as they are ON the
right. This is especially true
when an auto is passing.

principle, however, was right
and the executives were willing
to explain at length and argue,
if necessary, but were insistent
upon the plan being carried out
in communities all over the dis
trict.
An intensive campaign of
education was found necessary,
but Mr.. Rogers. Mr.. Clark Mr..
Van Nest and a faithful band
of field workers willingly spent
long hours and labored unfalter-
ingly to impress it's value upon
the county workers because they
were so absolutely convinced
that by carrying out the allot-
ment plan in detail the citizens
of the northwest would be bring
ing about the greatest good to
the greatest number.
"State. county and township
organizations are gradually per-
fected. Able and patriotic men
and women in every walk of life
were enlisted in the work and
finally, when the third Liberty
loan campaign was opened, the
Ninth Federal reserve district
presented a complete, and
splendid organization of pa
triotic men and women second
to none that ever existed. The
results every county in the
district oversubscribed and in
many counties every township
and village also over subscribed
form an eloquent tribute to the
soundness of the conception and
the efficient carrying out of the
Individual allotment plan This
splendid showing of the Ninth
District is unequaled. in fact, it
is unapproached by the records
of other districts, and unless
bettered by this district in
future campaigns, we believe it
will stand as an unchallenged
record of patriotism and efficient
ly organized service.
''The fiscal authorities in
Washington and the nation at
large today admit that this dis
trict has made a remarkable
success, an enviable record.
"The question from all over
America is, How did you do it?"
"The answer is, Intensive
organization, aroused patriotism
and the individual allotment
plan"

Is the Biggest Deal for Washbun That Has Ever
Been Made.
Local Men Assist in the Big Work Of Acquiring tht
Land on Which Homes Will
be Erected.

Washburn's destiny hung in
the balance for a few hours
Yesterday while deals were
pending which would either
assure the city of its future
growth or would put it on the
down grade again. We are glad
to announce today that the deals
were successfully closed through
Daniel Canffiel, head real estate
representative for the DUPONT
company with the Assistance of
Supt. F. T. Beers of the Barks-
dale plant and D. M. yMaXcy and
w. A. Robinson of this city,
whereby the DUPONT company
secured enough land within the
city limits in one block of terri
tory on mich the Dupont COM
pany will erect one hundred
homes for their workmen en-
ployed at the Barksdale plant.
This was one of the biggest
deals that has ever been put
through for the city and it
means more to its rapid growth
than anything which could be
undertaken. 1t means rapid
increase in population and the
placing of the city several years
ahead in its growth,
We have been given the liberty
to announce this week that the
deals for the land are being made
and that within a week the Du-
Pont company will put large
force of men at work in this city
erecting the one hundred homes.
The land which was secured
for the company lies along east
4th street, east Third street.
east Bayfield, street and east
Omaha street, and comprises
almost a solid block of land.
Several of the owners of the
property which will be taken in
made sacrifices in order to put
the deal through and many of
them will give up places which
they had selected for their
future homes. but all feel that
they have accomplished a big
thing for the city.
The houses to be erected will
be good substantial residences of
the type suitable to employees
working at the plant and will be
of several different types and
designs.
It is understood that the work
in connection with the erection
of the houses and the Y. M. c..
A. will be done by the con-
struction department of the
Barksdale works.

An article in the Liberty
Bell", published at Minneapolis
in the interests of the sale of
Liberty Bonds in the Ninth
Federal Reserve District, in dis
cussing the allotment plan, says:
Allotment Plan
"The Ninth Federal Reserve
District tried an experiment in
the Third Liberty Loan cam
paign. Chairman A. r. Rogers
and the executive committee
decided that in order to organize
a financial Standing Army"
that would be equal to every
emergency, it was necessary to
adopt an intensive plan of or
ganization that would be per-
manent and would compel every
citizen to carry his full share of
the burden. 1t was appreciated
that this plan must be compre-
hensive, broad gagged and alb
solutely democratic.
''The Individual allotment
plan of organization was the re-
suit.
This individual allotment
plan, as everyone in this dis
trict should know, consists in
having unbiased, competent
citizens who are in a position to
know, fix the minimum amount
of Liberty bondsto be subscribed
by each individual. This done,
each Individual is expected to
subscribe at least the allotted
amount, convince the committee
that that his allotment
lis too large and have it
reduced, or be classified as a
Stacker. Simple in conception
absolutely workable.
There were many objections
raised at first. as there always
are to any advanced idea or plan
when put into action. The
