Found Dead in Bed Early Wednesday
Morning.
Funeral Services Will be Held Next Mon
day Afternoon From Nor.
Church.

Mrs. Iver Arntson, a pioneer
resident of this city, was found
dead in bed at her home on west
Third street early Wednesday
morning, death having occurred
some time during the night. Mrs.
Arntson's death was a great
shock to her children for she
was apparently in fairly good
health when she retired for the
night. The day previous she
had been about visiting neighbors
and had planned in getting up
the next morning to do consider
able work. Apparently she had
been dead for some little time
when discovered by her children.
The funeral services will be
held from the Norwegian
Lutheran church next Monday
afternoon and interment will
take place in Woodland cemetary
beside the remains of her hus-
band who died some months
ago.
Mrs. Arntson was born in
Ortedalen, Norway, Nov. 18th,
1847, and came to this country
with her husband in 1887,
settling in western Minnesota.
Later the family moved to North
Dakota where they remained
for time, coming to Washburn
about 27 years ago.
Mrs. Arntson was one of those
motherly ladies whom all loved
for out of her daily life radiated
that sunshine that makes this
world a better place in which to
live. In her quiet way she was
always doing deeds of kindness
that would bring cheer to others.
She is survived by four sons,
Andrew, Thomas, William and
Martin, besides six grand
children. The children have the
sympathy of friends and neigh
bors in their bereavement.

Lost First Game.

The Washburn Alumni team
went over to Ashland last Fri
day evening when they played
their first basket ball game OF
the season againat the Union
Club of that city. reputed to be
one Of the strongest teams at
Ashland. The local boys were
defeated by a score of 80 TO 35,
hut despite this fact they put
up good contest against their
Ashland opponents.
The game was hotly contested
from start to finish and the Ash
land boys did not have any
walkaway over the local quint.
The Washburn boys have good
material for their team and with
little more practice are eS-
pected to develop into fast
team. The members are all
former High School players.

About Ten Per Cent Fail to Return
QuestiOnnaires.
Names will be Turned Over to Police and
Department Of Justice by
Board.

Four days will complete the
sending out of the questionnaires
to the registered men of Bayfield,
county according to a statement
made by County Clerk Nels
Oscar today.
Up to the present time over
1900 questionnaires have been
sent out and all with the ex-
ception Of about ten per cent of
these have been returned by
registrants.
Since instructions have been
received by the appointed legal
advisory boards few mistakes
have been made in filling out the
questionnairAs and only about
ten per cent are now returned
for corrections, while on the
first ones sent out about seventy
per cent had to be returned to
be completed.
The Local Board is now in
session at the court house in this
city making the classification of
the registrants and they will
continue in session until the en-
tire list has been gone over.
Up to the present time about
ten per cent of the registrants
have failed to return their
questionnaires and the names of
these persons will be given to
the police and will also be for
warded to the Adj. General and
the Department of Justice for
prosecution.
Failure to answer the question
naire and return it to the local
board puts a man in the same
status as the man who failed to
register. The government will
not only COMPEL persons of draft
age not answering questionnaires
to serve in the army but will
also impose prison sentences.

So Decided by Judge G. N. RiSjord
The Past Week.
Election was Contested by Lee Catlin
Who was Opposing Candi-
date.

In a decision given out during
the past week by Circuit Judge
G. N. Risjord it was held that
Patrick Galligan was the legally
elected chairman of the town of
Barksdale. His election was
contested by Lee. Catlin, who
was the opposing candidate at
the last spring election.
The election in the town of
Barksdale was hotly contested
and when the votes were counted
it was found that Galligan had a
majority of one vote over Catlin.
A certificate of election was
given to Galligan and he took up
the duties of the office.
Mr.. Catlin contested the elec-
ton on the ground that the
guards at the Dupont plant at
Barksdale were not entitled to
vote, claiming that they were
not citizens of the town. The
guards were challenged when
they voted and their ballots
marked for Identification. Catlin
claimed that if the votes of the
guards were thrown out he would
have decisive majority which
would entitle him to the office.
The case was tried in the Cir
cult court for Bayfield, county at
the November term. A jury was
drawn and heard the evidence
for several days but the attorneys
for both sides agreed to have
the case taken from the jury
and decided by the court. The
decision now rendered favors
Galligan.
The contention was that the
men employed at the plant of
the Dupont company at Barks-
dale as guards who make their
residence at the barraks on the
company grounds were not legal
residents of the town of Barks-
dale, but Galligan contended
that they were legal voters of
the town of Barksdale as that
was their residence and they
could not be deprived of their
right to vote.

Premium for Pennies

The Bayfield, County Bank is
Offering $1.05 for 100 pennies
and will take up as high as $50
Of them. This offer is made on
account of the great scarcity of
pennies throughout the country
and the Inability to secure them
from the government mints.
On account of the war tax a
large number of pennies are be.
ing used throughout the country
and this has caused a great
shortage.

Not Travelling Under an Assumed
Name as Some Think
Sanders Of Ashland Accepts Challenge
for Match Within Two
Weeks--H.

well IL begins TO look as III Cle
Powder Plant Unknown" will
have an opportunity to prove his
ability against Elmer Sanders of
Ashland, for in an article ap-
pearing in the Ashland Press
Wednesday evening the pride
of Ashland accepts the challenge
of the Barksdale unknown"
providing he is travelling under
his right name and is not Bill
Domentral, the Greek Demon
of Chicago, or Ad Santell, the
Pacific coast Champion.
Now if Sanders will stick by
his acceptance Of the challenge
providing the Barksdale man
can prove that he is not travel
ing under an assumed name,
then the match is a sure go for
Anderson can very easily prove
his identity.
Roy Anderson, styled the
Powder Plant Unknown"
carries a registration card show
ing him to be travelling under
his right name. Evidence Of
this is further borne out by a
Government QUESTIONABLE which
Anderson has received since ar
irving in the city, and which he
is willing to show to Sanders or
anyone else desiring to see them.
Sanders wants the match to
be held within two weeks and if
satisfactory arrangements can
be made by Promoter Clarence
Wright the match will be staged
at the Opera House in this city
on the evening of Jan. 21st or
22nd. In the meantime another
match will probably be pulled
off between Anderson and the
Foss Brothers of Barksdale, who
are also said to have accepted a
challenge for handicap match
in which Anderson agrees to
throw both men within one
hours time.
Wrestling fans of the Che
quamegon Bay region are indeed
glad to see some headway made
toward a match for since the
challenge of Anderson they have
been anxious to see a mix" be-
tween this man and some other
wrestler of repute.
For a time it looked as if
Anderson had them all "buffa-
loed' for there was not a peep
from any quarter that a match
would be forthcoming. Ander-
son says he would give the peo-
pie of the vicinity a real match,
one that is on the square, and
wrestlers going in for a match
on any other plan will have a
disappointment when they enter
the ring.
Anderson is a clean-cut fellow
well built and said to be as pow
erful as lion. Whether he can
wrestle or not will be proven in
his coming matches.

Thrift Stamp Sale
Offers Small Investors and Children an
Opportunity to Save Their
Money.

F. w. Downs of this city has
been appointed county chairmen
for the promotion of the sale of
War Savings stamps known as
Thrift stamps and he is now
busy getting together his organl-
cation for work throughout Bay
field county.
1t is proposed to organize every
town in the county for the sale
of Thrift stamps and the towns
will extend their organizations
to include schools, lodges, etc.
The Thrift stamps or War
Savings stamps offer a wonder
full opportunity for small invest
ors and children to save their
money for the stamps can be
purchased in small denominations
and when the thrift cards have
been filled they will bear the
same rate of interest as the
Government Liberty Bonds.
Every post office, every mail
carrier, etc. will act as a govern
ment selling agency for the sale
of Thrift stamps and it is hoped
to have the stores throughout
the country carry a supply OF
these stamps where they may
be purchased by investors.
There is no better way offered
for investors of small means to
save their money and it wniNens
courage the saving habit with
the people of the United States

paign at every opportunity
School teachers should encourage
the purchase of these stamps by

simply payment made for the
privilege of dancing or >skating, no
tax.
In case darces are given where
the men who are admitted are
charged for single ticket and all
women are admitted free. a tax on
the tree admission must be imposed
alsu.
The tax to be levied is not 10 per
cent of the entire proceeds. but is
10 additional on the charge made
for each admission.
The law requires that each person
organization. or association receiv
ing the admissions. shall collect the
tax from the persons admitted, and
at the end of each month make re-
port within thirty days of the tax
collected, sending the remittance
to this Office by certified check,
draft, or money order.
The fact that no tax was collected
on admissions to events since Nov
ember /, does not permit of the
evasion of the tax. The person or
association collecting the money for
admissions to entertainments,
dances, etc, is Obliged to pay the
tax on each admission whether it
was collected or not, and the penalty
for failure to pay the tax thus due,
and make report, is fine or i'm
prisonment, and in addition pen
ally Of double the tax evaded and
not collected or reported to this
office.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not
to take calonel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches. "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel doggy" and
heavy" Note how they clear clouded
brain and how they 'sperk up" the spirits.

month, had II hens laying every
day. Don Sung Is the best egg pro
ucer l ever used, and have tried
many kinds.'-F1oyd F. Mcmahon,

You will notice that the extra eggs
for just one day, paid for all the Don
Sung Mr.. Mcmahon used during the
month (about 60 cents WORTH. The
extra eggs on all other days were
