Ashland Saloons to Close

Saturday evening June 29th,
will see the close of the saloons
in Ashland. the city having been
voted into the dry column at the
last election. For a year at
least Ashland will be without
saloons and after the people
from the Garland City have tried
out the experiment it is doubt
ful if they will. ever vote back
the saloons.
Rapidly people are learning
that the saloons are harmful to
the growth and prosperity Of a
community and when a fair trial
is once given without them they
rarely come back again.
Wear glad that Ashland has
taken the step in the right di
rection. Saloons, after July 1,

Will Give Larger and Better Quarters.
Many Dissatisfied with
New Location.

Unless the government
changes its decision the post
office will be located in the Odd
Fellows building on the corner
of Central avenue and Bayfield,
street after September 30th this
year. This information was re-
ceived by Postmaster John o.
Sullivan on Friday Of last week
in a communication saying that
the Post Office Department
would accept the proposal Of the
Odd Fellows Lodge for the lease
Of their building at a yearly
rental Of $1200 per year.
Several other proposals had
been made TO the Post Office
department for the lease of
buildings, one being by the
Estabrook. Downs company for
the lease of a new buildeng to
be erected for Post Office pur-
poses on the corner of Washing
ton avenue and Bayfield, street
on the present site of the Times
building.
While it is known that the
post Office is in need Of larger
quarters, yet there is some dis
satisfaction over the location of
the post Office. many people be-
lieving that the location should
be more central.
The building which has been
selected by the Post Office De-
partment is nearly twice as large
as the present building. 1t will
be equipped with all modern
post office equipment and will be
heated by a heating plant. The
work of making the necessary
improvements will be done by
the Odd Fellows lodge just as
soon as the lease has been signed
by the Post Office department.

ferent Points. Will Almost
Exhaust Class /.

upon to furnish one hundred and
thirty-seven men for the Nation
al army during the month of
July according to advices re-
ceived by Secretary of the Local
Board Nels M. Oscar this week
from the Adjutant General for
the State.
The men will go from the
county at different periods, the
largest number leaving this city
during the week beginning July
22nd when 90 men will be called.
The quote for the state on the
July call totals 19,200 men of

Columbus Barracks, $500 to
Camp Zachary Taylor and 5000
men to Camp Grant.
During the week of July End
Bayfield, County will send 2 men
81 will go during the week of
July 9Th, % will go on the 10Th
and go will go on the 22nd.
The unusually large number
called from BAYFIELD, county will
almost exhaust Class and other
classes may be called upon to
supply the quote.
Bayfield, county has now near
ly 700 men in the service of the
United States and it will not be
long until the 1000 mark will
have been reached. When it is
known that the population of
the county is only 1900 people,
it will be seen that a large num-
Der have gone out from this
county to fight for liberty and
justice.

Every District in the County Being
Covered by Workers
BarkSdaIe Plant Making a Wonderful
Showing. Other Districts
Hard at Work.

Friday evening will close the
monster War Savings Drive for
Bayfield, county. The quote for
the county is $343,02O.OO which
is twice as large as the last
Liberty Loan Drive, yet there
are indications that the district
will go over the top as it has
done in other War drives.
There is not district in the
county that has not its workers
out. Every home in the county
will be canvassed by Friday
evening of<this week when the
reports will be sent in to the
office of Chairman Frank Downs.
To raise the quote will take an
enormous amount of work.
Some people who have not
pledged enough will be called
upon to increase their pledges.
The quote for the county is
equal to $40 for every man, wo-
man and child. Those who do
not subscribe to the War Savings
campaign will have tHeir names
taken. Meetings are to be held
in every school house in the
land on Friday, June 28th, at
which a record will be made.
The War Savings Stamp is one
Of the best forms of investment.
They are government bonds of
small denomination, bear inter-
est at the rate of four per cent
per annum, compounded quar-
terly, and payable again in 1928.
You can secure cash at any time
by presenting your stamps to
the post office and giving ten
days notice. The government
does not wish this done but in
case of necessity has provided
the means.
No one person can hold more
than $1,000 of thesesGovernment
securities, but an amount of
$1,000 each may be subscribed
for every member of the family.
The War Savings Stamps may
be purchased monthly until
December 31st, 1918. but the
government wishes the pledge
at this time of the amount which
you will take.
No man should refuse to pur-
chase these securities or to pur-
chase them for the members of
the family. It is a loan to the
government, but we should loan
our money as willingly as our
boys are lending their lives.
Back up the boys at the front.
Show them that Bayfield, county
is right in this drive as it has
been in other drives. Lets not
fall behind but go over the top
in glowing fashion. Subscribe
for as many of these securities
as you think you can pay for
and make sacrifices to order to
increase the amount. 1t is the
best form of investment for the
man of small means and OF
women and children.
