work, which has for it's aim the making of better citiens and the winning of the war. That's a platform that ought to be
 broad enough for any and all of us.
 Reports from Camp Beaure-
 gard are to the effect that more
 than 50 carrier pigeons from the
 army signal department, were killed in June within a radius of
 twenty miles of Alexandria, La. A visit to the carrier pigeon de- tail in Camp Pike reveals that none have so far been killed in or around Little Rock. It is un- certain whether the people of Arkansas are more careful than those of Louisiana with respect to the government messengers, or whether they are just natur- ally poorer shots.
 Soldiers of the 87th Divison who failed to pass the oversea examnaton and were left behind in Camp Pike while their con- rades in arms went on to Camp Dix have been placed in Class E and have been sent to various parts of the country as members |of the United States Guards. They will be used as federal guards at ports, on the border, or wherever troops may be need ed for home service. A number of army departments are here after to be made up exclusively |of Class B men.
 It is expected that the advent |of the Iowa men will prove a boost to the athletic activities of the camp in baseball, wrestling, and boxing. All of the niHe ath letic directors for the 'Y' are combing their areas to see what the draft blew in and how many champs and near-champs are hoping for new worlds to con quer. Iowa has held the wrest- ling honors so long that a lot of young fellows have imbibed as- pirations that can very easily be tested out in the army which is strong for all kinds of athlet- ic sports.
 It's funny to hear the boys who have been n camp about twelve hours call the latest ar rivals rockies"

day afternoon when her daugh-
ter, Miss Alice Qistad became
the bride of Mr.. Harry M. Nc

Will Seek Nomination for United
States SenatOrship
Announcement of Candidacy Well Re-
ceived by People of
Wisconsin.

Congressman |. l.. LenrOOt OF
Superior, representative of the
18th Congressional District, will
be a candidate for the United
States Senatorship of Wisconsin
at the primaries to be held in
March.
This announcement was made
in Washburn on Tuesday when
his nomination papers were
placed in circulation by his
friends and the announcement
of his candidacy was well re-
ceived and he will get the united
support of the people of his dis
trict in his campaign.
Congressman Lenroot has
represented the people of this
great state very ably in Congress
during the nine years of his
term and it is right that he
should be elevated to the highest
office at the hands of the people
of the state.
Congressman Lenroot has
been right on every issue before
Congress, he has ably represent
ed the people of his district and
of the state, and he is considered
one of the big men in the nation.
There will be many candi-
dates in the field, both on the
republican and Democratic, tick
cts, but the name of Lenroot
looks best to the people Of this
section of the state.
Here's hoping that he wins
for with Lenroot as United
States Senator we can rest as
sured that the interests of the
great state of Wisconsin will be
in safe hands.

No Love for Us

Herman Kluge, registered
alien enemy, don't like the Times
any more just because we pub.
lished his name as being one of
those who had registered with
the Government as an Alien
enemy. So Herman came right
up, paid his subs cription, and
what he said to one of the boys
at the office about the paper was
not very complimentary and
would not look we'll in print.
In publishing Herman's name
as being an alien enemy we did
not say half as much as we could
have said, but simply published
his name with others as matter
of general news.
Now Her man has been resi-.
dent of the United States and
the city of Wash burn for good
many years, yet he has never
thought it of enough Importance
to cut the strings which tied
him to the Kaiser, al
though the United States has
given him his livelihood and
everything else which he now
possesses. He now finds him
self classed as an alien enemy
of the United States which
means that he must have u per-
NIT to travel upon any dock.
warf, or pier or go within one
half mile of any munition plant.
Herman naturally does not
like this ruling which interferes
with the rights which he has had
up to this time. He does not
like The Times because we gave
publicity to his name. But when
Herman gets the idea that The
Times cares rap he is badly
mistaken. We believe that we
can continue to run just the same
even though we do lose a few
Hermans or Wilhelms.
The Times is American from
start to finish, has been, is now
and will continue to be. When
any of the Pros don't like our
style the sooner we learn it the
better we will like it.

Can't Get Together

The grocery store proprietors
and meat dealers of the city
don't seem to get together very
we'll when it comes to closing on
legal holidays and as a result of
q mum ber failing to close their
places on Washington's birthday
all of the grocery stores and
meat markets remained open
during the day while the rest of
the business places of the city
closed.
1t seems that with these two
lines special notices and a good
many telephone calls are needed
in order to get all to come to
some agreement.
Six months ago cards were
issued stating what days were
to be closed days for the stores
but the grocery men and meat
dealers seem to have lost their
cards and fail to remem Der the
dates.

Buried at Bayfield,

Mrs. Anna Bushey, wife of
Sandy Bushey of this city,
passed away at the St. Joseph
hospital at Ashland last Thurs
day evening from hemorrhage
of the brain following a very
short illness.
The remains were brought to
the residence of Arthur Bushey
in this city Friday and the fun
eral was held at Bayfield, on
Monday interment being in the
Bayfield, cemetery.
Mrs. Bushey is survived by a
husband and seven children, all
of whom have the sympathy OF
friends and neighbors in their
sad bereavement.
Last week the Bushey family
received word of the death of
their son John Bushey who was
killed in battle in France and it
is believed that sorrow over the
news had something to do with
the sudden death of the mother.

more Hun Kulture

A. G. Mcpherson, who was al
Duluth the latter part of last
week, brings back with him q
story Of German atrocity which
is hardly believable but which is
nevertheless said to be true. A
friend of the Mcpherson family
who was doing Red Cross work
in Germany previous to the
declaration of war by the United
States, was returning from that
country by way Belgium. travel
ing in an automobile, having se-
cured passport for herself and
driver. from the German author.
tiles. The passport called for
the safe passage through the
German lines for two persons.
While driving along a road in
Belgium the attention of the two
was attracted by the cries of
children. They stopped their
machine and found two snail
children. boy and a girl, in the
woods near the road. Their
faces were pinched by hunger
and their backs were covered
with rags. The children said
that they had lost their parents
and were alone in the world.
The woman pll iced the children
in the machine to take them to a
place of safety in some home.
The first German guard per-
the woman and man to
pass with the two children but
the story was different with the
second guard. 1t is said that
after looking at the passes the
two children we're taken from
the automobile and were placed
within fifty feet OF the machine
where they were shot down be.
fore the woman's eyes. 1t is
said that the woman is a nervous
wreck rs a result OF what she
saw.
And they call this German
Kulture.

Retailers Not Allowed to Sell Wheat
Flour Alone
Must Keep a Record of All Sales in Or
der to Stop lIoarding. Little Complaint
Heard From Patriots.

There appears to be but little
complaint over the ruling OF
County Food CO m m 8 s i on er
John j. Fisher which was put
into effect by the grocers the
past week which requires pur-
chasers of wheat flour to pur-
chase a like amount Of substi-
tutes.
At the first start-off some of
the purchasers were at a loss to
know just how to regulate their
purchases so that an equal
amount of substitutes could be
purchased with the wheat f1ours
but this now seems to be work.
ing out fairly we'll and when the
practice has been in force for a
week or so it will come second
nature to purchase the substi-
tutes with the flour.
There has been some difficulty
in retailers being able to pur-
chase the substitutes but this is
expected to be overcome within
a very short time. There has
been such a demand all over the
country for the substitutes that
the mills have been unable to
keep up with the demand but
this is rapidly being overcome.
According to the instructions
issued by Food Commissioner
Fisher. grocery merchants will be
required to keep a record of the
sales of flour and flour substi-
tute to customers so that no one
can hoard without the Commits
sioner knowing of the same.
Sales of sugar must also be kept.
The ruling will not work a
hardship on anyone and it is the
means of winning the war. Pa
triotic people will willingly fol-
low the new ruling and even do
more than they are required.
Unless substitutes are used
there is danger of there being a
shortage of wheat in this coun-
try before the next crop is har-
vested.

NewlywedS to be Placed in Class One
by District Board
All Registrants Married Since Draft Law
Will be Reclassi-
fed.

Young men who were married
since the selective di aft law was
enacted are going to be reclassi'
fled according to advices received
by the local board for Bayfield,
| County.
Recently the government Or
dered appeals entered in all cases
where deferred classification
had been granted those who
were married since the 18th day
of May, 1917, which was the day
the selective draft law was
enacted.
There were many cases which
came under the jurisdiction OF
the Local Board of this county
and the Board was very careful
to grant deferred classification
only where it was shown that no
fraud was intended. The ap-
peals were taken by the Govern
ment and the District Board has
reversed the local board in every
case.
Registrants who were married
since the above date and have
deferred classification will now
have to be reclassified and put
into Class one, where there are
no other claims for more de-
ferred classification and will be
called into service.

Illness Causes Discharge

Aaron Segal returned to this
city Tuesday evening from Chi
cago where he has been for the
past two weeks receiving treat
ment from a specialist for spinal
trouble which developed while
in the army. Aaron developed
the trouble within two months
after entering the Amy and al
though the company physician
advised his discharge. he pre-.
ferred going with his company
to Camp Pike, Arkansas. where
be hoped that he would recover
his health. Instead of getting
better the trouble seemed to get
worse and Aaron was finally
honorably discharged from SER
vice, something he very much
regretted.
Aaron says he liked army life
and that he would not give what
experience he has had fora good
deal. He says that the boys in
charge of Uncle Sam are used
fine and that they get everything
that is needed for their health
and comfort.
Aaron was advised by the
medical advisors of the army
that his rouble was probably
caused. by scarlet fever which
ne had when young man, but
which did not develop seriously
until intensive training was be-
gun.

State Director for War Savings j..
H. Puelicher, is in receipt of advice
from the Treasury Department at
Washington to the effect that treas
ury receipts from the sale of War
Savings Stamps have passed the $50
600, 900 mark, and are now running
at the rate of Sill 900, 900 week.
The sales for December were $40
$50, ,451, and for January they rose
to $24,559,792; while February
sales to date are $15,79O,l7O. maxi
ing total of $5O,79O,17O.
Indicative of the success of the
War Savings Campaign throughout
the country is the Washington report
to the effect that savings bank de-
posits in the past few years have
been increasing at rate of $780,
900, 900 a year or about $500, 900 a
business day, and 100000 a day lis
the highest rate of growth ever
reached by the savings banks.
The treasury War Savings figures
show that the American people, after
subscribing to billions OF dollars in
war loans, and giving hundreds of
millions to the Red Cross, and other
war relief campaigns, are putting
tkeir small savings at the service OF
the nation through War Savings
Stamps far i'm excess of pre-war saw
ings bank accumulations.
Two billion dollars of War Savings
securities will be issued by the Sec
retary of the Treasury in the form
of War Savings and Thrift Stamps.
If these are all sold this year, the
treasury will receive about 81 $780,
600, 900, and at the end of five years
January l, 1899 the government
will repay the loan to the holders OF
War Savings certificates, together
with $500, 900, 900 in interest.
The increasing volume Of small
savings coming in to- the treasury
from the buyers of War Savings
Stamps, while not commensurate
with the great cost of the war, is
nevertheless very large as compared
with pre-war standards of national
finance.
These stamp savings are now run
ming at the rate double the total rate
receipts at the postofice and double
the customs receipts before the war.
Sales are now in excess of the total
interest payments to the holders Of
railroad bonds; in excess of the
average new capital of expenditures
for railroad development, and equal
to the entire cost of running the
government only ten years ago.
