Don't Like Il

| The Ashland wrestling fam
don't like the broad def which
was hurled at them last week BY
Jack Hegensick, the DuPon
wrestler. Hagensick offers t,
take on Elmer Sanders, pride o
Ashland, at any old weight, win
ner to take all, but there is no,
a peep from the Ashland side ol
tire pond.
And mind you this bold chal
lenge comes from q man that
weighs 158 pounds, and he says
that if he drinks lots of water
and eats heavy he can possibly
weigh as high as 100. Sanders
on tn other hand is said to TOP
the scales at close to 200 pounds
and in recent match he for
feited his weight money because
he could not get down to I80
pounds.
Those who have seen Hagen
sick work out say he is a won
der, boiling over with pep and
with a head on him that alone
could defeat a good deal of
weight.
Hagensick halls from Viola,
Wis. pre:ty sounding name
for the place. and he is as bash.
full and shy as country maiden.
Recently he journeyed to Mil
waukee where q mum Der of the
pest wrestlers of the Northwest
were holding forth and he sim.
ply busted" into the wrestling
game, Very few had ever
heard of him before but since
his appearance at Milwaukee a
good many OF the old timers
have learned that this little
giant is wizlrd at the game.
Larkin, the Milwaukee pro.
moter, says of Hagensick that
he is a world beater at anywhere
near his weight, but Sanders
surely cannot be afraid to tackle
him when he offers such a broad
challenge. Sanders recently
wrote to the Milwaukee papers
accepting Hagensick's challenge
and that gentleman is now here
waiting for time when he can
meet the wrestler from East
Ashland who has offered to meet
any and all comers.

Went Over the Top

When returns are IN for the
War Camp Community Recrea-
ton Fund which has been waged
in this city during the past two
weeks it will be found that this
city has again exceeded it's quota
as was the case in the other
drives.
A good deal of the credit for
the success of this drive is due
the Dupont Protective Associ-
alton composed of workmen at
the plant of the Dupont COM
pany. This organization offered
to give the sum of $4.OO for
every dollar raised by the COM
mittee in Washburn and as
$lO2.5O was raised in the city it
will mean that the amount for
warded by the local mittee
will amount to more than $4,000.

Jack Hagensick, the Dupont
wrestler. is likely to have an op-
portunity to show his wares"
in the near future Walter Will
loby of Mellen, who has twice
defeated Sanders and who has
two draws with Hagensick, has
offered to accept Hagensick's
challenge to a match, winner to
take all, and promoter Wright
says if the two men want to get
together he will stage the match
in this city.
Roy Anderson, who is now in
Illinois, writes that he is also
willing to take on Hagensick
when he returned this week to
resume his duties on the powder
line at the plant.
Sanders is still ignoring the
challenge made to him on the
basis of winner take all.

Appointment for Income Assessor by
State Tax Commission
Landraint Removed from Office Follow
ing Hearing on DislOyalty
Charges.

A. Pearce Tomkins of Ashland
will be the next income tax as
SCISSOR for the district comprising
the counties of Ashland, Bayfield,
and Iron according to advice re-
ceived from Madison the first OF
the week.
Mr.. Tomkins will succeed Viii.
liam Landraint whom the Tax
Commission refused to appoint
on account of the charges of dis
loyalty which had been preferred
against Landraint.
Mr.. Landraint was given a
hearing before the Tax Com
mission at Ashland two weeks
ago and it was because of the
evidence brought out at this
hearing that the Tax Commission
deemed it for the best interests
of the district to appoint some
other man.
Mr.. Landraint has been Income
Tax Assessor for the district
since the office was created.
Because of his arrogant disposi-
tion he was always having
trouble with the taxpayers and
officials.
The new appointee is an At
torney of Ashland and is well
known throughout the district.
His appointment will be we'll re-
ceived.

Defeated the ElkS

A team of bowlers from this
city composed Of Lsightner,
Burke. Hansen, Hauch and
Wolf went over to Ashland last
Friday evening where they
bowled in three games against
the strong Elk's team, winning
the series over the Ashland boys.
Washburn won two of the three
games of the series, losing the
second game by two points.
The boys naturally feel rather
elated over the fact that they
have now defeated the Ashland
team on two occasions of late.

Thew Call It Coal

Rev. Chr. Christianser
brought to this Office this week
a sample of the coal mined in
North Dakota which was for.
warded to him by a friend.
This coal does not resemble
the coal that we use in the least,
being sort OF a fibre substance
that more resembles burned
wood. The grain of the wood
can easily be distinguished in
the coal. It is sald to burn
freely and to last much longe,
than wood, but has not the
lasting qualities of the coal used
in this city.

War Savings Stamps are Nom Taxable


When preparing for the is
suing of Thrift Stamps and War
Savings certificates, the nationa
administration very wisely de-
cided that they should not be
subject to any taxes, federal
state or local. In this respect
they are entirely unique. being
free when almost everything
else of value is subject to i'm
post.
AS the amount that an indi
vidual may hold is limited te
$1,000, this concession does mol
deal unjustly toward other Sc
curity holders. It is simply an
inducement to the small investor
to make an unusual effort in his
own country's behalf, by de-
posting as much of his surplus
with the government as possible.
Those who buy these little
bonds-and all should do it.
should understand in advance OF
the coming days of taxation re-
turn in April that whatever oil
their earned savings or surplus
derived from economies is con-
vertee into Thrift Stamps and
War Savings certificates need
not be recorded upon the assess
ors blank. AS the interest and
principal are payable in 1923,
neither is it nee essary to make
mention of the investments in
the return to the income tax col.
lector.
They are, as stated, absolutely
free and, as they also pay 4
per cent compound interest, ale
the best securities that one can
buy in these troubled times.

High School Notes
BY Earl e. Geisert.

A senior class party was given
at the Walker High school Fri.
day February Is. The pupils of
the Senior class invited under
class men and outsiders. The
party broke up at eleven o'clock.
Carl Wedin, Juel BIexrud,
Robert Morris and Earl Geisert
have been appointed as High
School M lrshals by Supt. G. D..
Hyper. Their purpose of this
is to get the pupils that have a
tendency to stay out of school
without a cause. or without the
consent of their parents.& Fri
day two such pupils attempted
to stay out and before school
was dismissed they were
brought back by the marshals.
We first went out to the ski
Jump at Carson's farm but no
trace could be found of them so
we continued our journey by
searching the shore near the
pumphouse and sure enough the
two were found beside a little
stove in a cave. They were i'm
mediately escorted to the sup
erintendent's Office in the Walk
er school. Knowing that some.
one will be on their trail if they
try to break their attendance IN
school, there may not be so
m much of it when the spring sea-
son comes which brings with it
the joys of outdoor life.
A piece of poetry which can
be applied to some OF the
students.
If you talk in all yonr class
rooms
And you think it's lots of fun,
Try to be like all the others
And that error always shun.
If you loaf around the cloak
| rOOmS
And you make lot of noise,
just RENE m Der that those actions
Never add to any joys.
lIf you loiter on the stairway
And you thereby block the way,
It's a break against the rules
here,
So remem ber what l say.
If you bother other students,
Talk, laugh, and whistle too,
Don't forget that some sly
teachers
Will not rest until they catch
you.
Superintendent 6. D. Hyper
has ordered IA football suits7for
the High School football team:
The team is going to begin praci
tice as soon as the snowsis of
the ground. Due to the fact
that the students will have to
dig potatoes in the fall, practice
will take place in the spring SO
that they will have to go through

some stiff practice so they will
not forget it during the summer.

day last week with severe cold.

You are hereby called to the
Colors of the merican Repub-
lie. The teaching force OF

human freedom cannot be won
unless the army of soldiers OF
the common good-the public
school army-gives the fullest
measure OF sacrifice and service.
Still more important, a new and
fairer civilization will not take
the place of the one that has
broken down under the stress
Of conflict unless the molders of
the soul-stuff of the world

afresh to the mighty task of re-
building the national institutions

rem are little citizens and must
be guided IN such present ex-
perience as will make certain
their future dedication to the

Cross, through the School Aux
liary, offers an unsurpassable
medium through which the pa
triotic activities of the children
can make themselves felt. Be-
ginning with Lincoln's birthday
and lasting to Washington's s
birthday. a nation wide effort is
to be made in behalf of increas-
ing the Junior Mem bership.
This call to the colors is for your
service in this campaign.
The National Education Asso-
citation offers every teacher in
the land the high privilege of
participation in this great cam
paign.
The school organization of
every state needs your help in
this form of character education.
The President of the United
States, the great teacher of the
world, has given a new content
to the term "Red Cross. "
Therefore, you may consider
that he calls you to the colors in
this active service for the child
rem Of the world.
You are hereby called to the
colors by all the great ideals
through which Today is acting
on Tomorrow TO the end that
Tomorrow may see the sunrise
of a world life dedicated tn
straight thinking, hard work,
mighty loving.

the spirit of America. by the
needs of childhood, by the SOU
of civilization. Yours is the
privilege of sacrificing, serving
and loving.
