Boys Better Be Good

Unless some of the young
Washburn boys mend their ways
they are going to get into
trouble. A frequent pastime
for these boys. who come from
some leading families, is to go
down on the lake shore armed
with revolvers. and practice at
different objects with the result
that it is becomming unsafe for
people to travel along the lake
shore. But their carelessness in
the handling of fire arms is not
all they are accused Of. On
Tuesday evening two or three
of these boys went down to the
lake shore where they shot the
lock off a row boat, which was
tied to a pier, taking the boat.
Some men who were passing
in a row boat had watched the
performance and as they neare6
the boys the youngsters aban-
doned the boat and made their
escape. The men hid in the
woods and the boys returned to-
the boat again and were identi-
fed.
These men say that if the
boys will put the boat back and
behave themselves in the future
their names will not be revealed
otherwise warrants will be
sworn out on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons and
breaking locks and stealing
boats.
The men claim this is the
second offense where the boys
have broken locks and stolen
boats but that it will be the last.
B. Ungrodt also reports that
boys have been shooting the
locks off the dynamite house in
which is stored high explosives.
This in itself is a very serious
offense and the government will
deal pretty harshly with the
boys if they are discovered.

Teams Well Organized Throughout
Districts for Carrying Out Work
Immense Amount of Funds Must be Sub
scribed. Everyone Must
Subscribe.

War Savings Stamps will begin
throughout Bayfield, county be-
ginning next Monday morning
and will be continued until every
district is thoroughly canvassed.
On June 18th the county allot-
ment must be subscribed and in
the rural sections meetings will
be held in every school house at
which the voters, taxpayers and
property owners are expected
to attend and a record will be
made of every person who has
not subscribed for the War
Savings stamps.
Bayfield, county must raise a
quote of $343, ,O2O. in the drive.
The stamps now held by resi-
dents of the county will be
counted in this quote but the ad-
ditional amount must be sub
scribed. This is equal to every
man, woman and child in the
county.
In the city of Washburn the
various wards have been
thoroughly organized. In each
ward there is a captain and team
of workers and it will be their
duty to visit every home, every
factory and every business place
and secure the pledges. The
women workers are again to
lend their aid in the campaign
and will visit every home.
soliciting the subscriptions from
the women.
The heads of the various de-
partments at the plant of the
Dupont Powder company will
look after the subscription of
the men.
1t is to be one of the greatest
drives that has ever been waged.
The amount to be subscribed is
twice as large as the Third
Liberty Loan and everyone can
participate in it.
The War Savings Stamps bear
interest at the rate of a per cent
compounded quarterly and the
Baby Bonds" as they are called
will be redeemable by the gov
ernment in 1923.
AS an investment proposition
the War Savings stamps cannot
be beat. Should any person
holding War Savings stamps be
compelled to cash them he will
be able to secure the amount of
cash paid for Them plus the in
terest which the stamps have
earned.
Be prepared to subscribe for
every dollar in War Savings
stamps for every member of the
family. Let us send Bayfield,
county over the top again with
flying colors in this the greatest
war drive.

Annual Affair Held on the Shores
of Long Lake
Dandy Dinner, Base Ball Game and
Many Other Amusements
Occupy the Day.

Bright and early Sunday morn
ing about thirty members of the
Knights of Pythias order of this
city left the Commercial Club by
auto for Long Lake, seven miles
west Of the city, where their
annual picnic was held.
The bunch was bent upon
having a good time and those
making the trip say that the day
was thoroughly enjoyed, that
there was plenty of amusement
and entertainment and plenty of
good things to eat.
The big picnic dinner was held
on the south shore of the lake in
the grove of pines. Andy Muir
ray and Ike Berman and their
assistants prepared the lunch
which consisted of everything
for the satisfaction Of the inner
man and the way the boys
cleared the tables was an in
dication that none present were
troubled with stomach diseases.
A base ball game was sched-
uled for immediately after din
ner but there was not a base
ball player in the bunch that
could make the run of the bases
after eating such q dinner and
it was decided to suke an hours
rest before calling the game.
At the appointed hour the two
teams lined up on the Rockstad
field about a half mile distance
from the lake and Umpire Ike
Berman called the game. The
teams lined up as follows:
K. P. Giants
Andy Lien, catcher, Nels Os-
car, pitcher, Hugh Ross, 1st.
A. Garberg, End, 0. Wegsten,
short stop, AkFroseth, 3rd, M.
CrowelI, right field. Vic Berg
quist, center field and Carl Lib
by, left field.
K. P. White SoX
Will Arntson, catcher, Bob
Afleck, pitcher, Chas. Hanson,
1st, Levi Anderson, End, Bill
Lunsdon, Short, Frank Parker,
3rd, Bill Robinson, right field,
Olaf Olson, center field, Nels
Myhre, left field.
1t was game for blood and
the way the boys went to the
game was nothing slow and
would put the National league
team to shame. The Giants
were defeated by a score of 8 to
IL but they laid the entire blame
unto Umpire Berman, who twice
during the game was carried off
the field and had there been a
lake closer than a half mile dis
tance he would have received a
ducking similar given to witches
of the olden days. The Giants
accused Berman Of having been
bought out by the White Sox
and all pleadings over his de-
cisions failed to change them.
The Giants claimed that he was
as rotten" as an umpire could
possibly be while the White Sox
claimed that he was simply O.
K.
There was a tug of war follow
ing the game in which the Giants
were also defeated. The White
Sox pulled Umpire Berman into
this contest and with a rope
around his waist and his feet
planted in the sand he pulled
until he was red in the face.
A swimming contest. a bun
eating contest and other amuse-
ments were pulled off during the
afternoon.
Carl Libby is limping around
as the result Of having bumped
into a stump while trying to
catch a fly and Nels Myhre lost
a watch in the same operation

gentlemen;
Will you kindly gil ythe following

of your papers
War Savings Stamps or, More Properly,
Liberty Bonds, of Small Denominations.
With all the publicity given them,
the public in general, does not seem to

have a. definite cash value frenl.
month to month. These stamps
draw per cent compounded quarter
". Twenty w. S. S. in June cost
SIS 40 and are worth $4,000 jan
uary 1st. 1928. If, for any reason
you must sell the stamps, any money
order office will, on ten days notice.
pay you the printed value of the
stamps. Your Government does not
expect you to cash in these stamps
unless it is an absolute necessity for
you to do so.
These stamps can be registered at
any money order Post Office and if
lost, stolen or destroyed, you will
receive their value from the Govern
ment.
Our Government needs the money
to pay war expenses; the people are
expected to raise the quota allotted
to them. In order to do this, every
one will have to subscribe. Primarily
these stamps are for the small in
vestor. Were it possible for one
person to hold more than one thous-
and dollars worth of stamps, the
issue would long since have been sold
out.
The Government IS looking to-the
, people of small means to take this
issue. Let US not fail to do so.
President Wilson says:
To the People of the United States:
81 earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child to pledge himself
or herself on or before June 28th to
have constantly and to buy regularly
the War Savings Securities OF the
Government and to do this as far as
possible through membership in War
Savings Societies. June 2Sth must
end this special period of enlistment
in the great volunteer army OF pro-
duction and saving here at home.
May there be none unenlisted on
that day"
By purchasing w. S. S. you are
not making donation to the Cow
ernment but are making an invest
ment that for safety and convenience
cannot be equaled. Remember that
a dollar saved now may be equal in
purchasing power to two dollars at
the time these bonds become due.
If we are to win the war, we must
save and serve. In order to serve
we must buy Government Securities,
| To reach cur quota, we will have
to exert ourselves to the utmost.
Let everyone pledge themselves for
all they possibly can.
| Yours very truly,

With the British Army In France
All the traditions of the United States
army for yalor were brilliantly sus-
tained In the successful attack made
against the Germans south of the
River Somme. when for the first time
American lnfantrymen took their
stand beside their British cousins and
fought shoulder 10 shoulder with them
against the common foe.
Ii was a baptism of fire for the Yam
kee soldiers on this front, and they
came through with flying colors, prov.
Ing fitting comrades for the Austria
lIan warriors whom they were assist
ing.
The Americans fought like fends,
declared one British stan officer. They
did all OF that. They were magnificent,
and the folks ut home may be proud
OF the part their boys took In the
,hsll-torn valley OF the winding Somme.
They were fighting over ground al
ready stained with the blood OF thou
sands OF brave soldiers, but no better
troops ever charged across the rolling
fields than the pioneers from the
American army. Along with this II is
possible To make the cheerful state
ment that their casualties were very
smnll. Virtually the entire body OF
Americans came through unscathed
This was probably due TO the weak re-
slstancc which the Germans offered ia

One does not need to deti1ct from
