Large numbers of men are com.

it is known that there are a
number of vacant rooms in the
city. yet it is hard for the
strangers to find them without
some sign being placed in the

SANDERS WINS
OVER ANDERSON
Secures Two Falls Against Washburn
Wrestler.
Bout Staged at the Opera House was
One of the Best Ever Staged
in the City

Wrestling fans were given
their moneys worth at the
wrestling match staged at the
Opera House in this city last
Thursday evening when Elmer
Sanders of Ashland defeated Roy
Anderson of this city, securing
the first fall in 47a minutes with
a body and head lock and the
second fall in II minutes with a
body scissors.
The men met in the ring in
the pink of condition, but San
ders' extra weight over Ander-
son proved the Washburn mans
undoing. Sanders had posted a
forfeit to make 180 pounds on
the afternoon of the match but
this he was unable to do and for
feited his money without even
going unto the scales. 1t was
said that his weight was 1876
pounds. Anderson weighed in
at 172.
The match was fast and furi-
Gus from the beginning to the
end. Anderson worked on the
defensive most of the time dur
ing the first fall, Sanders being
the aggressor. Anderson won
great admiration for himself
thru his great work in breaking
the holds of his opponent. Time
and again Sanders would secure
a hold that would pin an ordinary
wrestler's shoulders to the mat
but Anderson would break the
hold. This he did hundreds of
times during the first fall, but
finally the hard gruelling began
to tell on Anderson and he went
to the mat on a body and deadlock
Anderson started out after the
brief rest, determined to get a
fall on the Ashland man, and at
one time he secured toe hold
which would have meant a fall
for him had the men remained
on the mat, but they were called
to the center of the mat again
which saved the Ashland man.
Anderson secured a number of
hard holds upon Sanders during
the second fall but these were
broken by Sanders and Ander-
son went down the second time
under a body scissors.
Anderson has nothing to be
ashamed of in being defeated by
the Ashland grappler because
Sanders is known to be good
wrestler, equal to any in the
Northwest, and with his extra
weight gave him a great handi-
cap over Anderson.
Both boys wrestled clean and
Anderson showed the greater
science of the two but he did
not possess the strength to de-.
feat Sanders.
The preliminary between John
Wick of this city and Joe Lutkie
of Ashland resulted in a draw.
This was sort of a hugging affair
with little wrestling to it.

Food Conservation

The winning of the war by the
United States and her allies will de-
pend very materially on the volun-
tary and wholehearted action of the
great body of private consumers. It
is just as disloyal to. disregard the
requirements of the Food Admins
traitor as it would be to utter words
of disparagement tending to hinder
the progress of the war. Many peo-
pie have already conformed to the
food rules. 1t would seem however,
that large number of people have
not yet taken these regulations seri-
ously. 1t is very difficult to appre-
hend violations of food rules by pri-
vate consumers. However many
offenders have been discovered and
punished.
There are three principal objects
of food administra ton which we wish
to emphasize.
Regulation of prices of food. We
intend as soon as possible to have
established schedule of prices of
standard food products. Meanwhile
all dealers selling any food products
are directed to maintain a reasonable
price schedule, and to keep sharp
lookout for any evidence of food
boarding.
Food Hoarding is strictly prohi-
bited. ANY person discovered pur-
chasing and possessing more than
thirty days supply of food will be in
vestigated and if found unjustified
will be reported TO the state autho,i-
ties for prosecution.
Observing meatless and wheatless
regulations. A strict observance ofI
the rules of the food administration
requiring consumers to observe meat
less and wheatless days and meals,
together with regulations for the use
of substitute foods is required of all
private consumers as well as of pub
lie food dispensers. The orders
made have the effect of law and must
be obeyed. However, the loyal sup
port of all citizens is necessary to OBJ
tain a proper enforcement of all food
regulations.
We desire reports of all cases of
violation of the rules of the Food
Administration, whether that of ex-
tortionate prices, mixing dangerous
substances in food, boarding of food
refusal to obey the orders requiring
the observance of meatless and
wheatless days. or refusal to use SUBJ
stitute foods.
Bayfield, County has shown itself
unusually loyal in its enlistments and
it's support of the Liberty Loan, Y.
M. C. A., and Red Cross drives.
Those were more or less public
demonstrat tions of loyalty. Let us
now be equally patriotic in the less
demonstrative form of food conser-
walton.

Some Have Been in This Country for
Many Years
Pictures, Finger Prints, Handwriting,
Etc. Taken by Author
tiles.

In the registration of Alien
enemies in the city of Washburn
nine persons appeared before
the local registration board dur
ing the past week and registered
with the government officials.
Among this number were several
who have been residents of the
United States for a long period
years.
They are as follows:
Fred Jallrain
Harry Newman
John Frank
Herman Kluge
Charles Rogan
Stefan Zielerinski
Frank Kaulen
Walter Milberg
Christ j. Johnson.
The law in regard to Alien
enemies is very strict. Without
special permit the persons
above listed will be unable to go
within certain distance of any
warf, dock. pier, or breakwater,
or within a certain distance of
the dynamite plant. This will
practically mean that each will
have to have a special permit to
travel by rail or boat from this
city.
Walter Milberg. who conducts
a grocery store in this city, says
that he did not know that he
was not a citizen of the United
States until about the time war
was declared when he learned
that his father had not taken out
his citizenship papers, and there
fore that made him an Alien.
Mr.. Milberg came this country
when very small child, and as
soon as he learned his predica,
ment as to his citizenship he i'm
mediately made effort to become
a citizen of the United States
but found that his application
could not be granted as long as
the war lasts. He always
thought that he was a citizen of
United States until he learned to
to the contrary about year ago.
Herman Kluge, Harry New
mann and Jonn Frank have also
been residents of the United
States for great many years
but have not taken their citizen
ship with the United States and
therefore now find themselves
classed as Alien enemies of the
United States.

born in Germany while Stefan
Zielerinski is a Pole born in Ger

There was great anxiety for a
time last week over the Bayfield,
county boys who were on the
Transport Tuscania when she
was torpedoed by a German sub
marine off the Irish coast.
Those who are known to have
on the boat are
Searg. Asa R. Wiley, Wash

Private, Charles Joanis, Wash

Private Fred McCutcheon,
Washburn
Private w. G. Webber, Bay
field
Private Hjalmer Swanson,

Lieut.. H. |. Lewis, formerly of
Washburn but listed as being
from Stevens Point.
With the exception of Dentist
H. l. Lewis all were members of
the 107 Supply company of the
32nd Division, DR.. Lewis being a
Lieutenant in the Medical corps.
When the first reports of the
sinking of the Tuscania were re-
ceived in this city it was re-
ported that the 10th Military
Police and the 107th Supply COM
pany were aboard the ship. AS
many Bayfield, county boys were
members Of both companies it
was feared that number might
have lost their lives.
The Bayfield, county company
of the Military Police under
command of Captain H. H. Pea
vey might have been on the ILL
fated transport had it not been
for the fact that the company
was quarantined before sailing
time and this kept the members
of that company from being a.
board the Tuscania.
Those from here who>were on
the boat were members of the
1O7th Supply company, having
been transferred from the Bay
field county company after that
company arrived at Waco, Texas:
Because of the difficulty in
getting names cabled to this
country it was some few days
before it was definitely known
that all of the Bayfield, County
boys had been safely landed but
messages have now been re-
ceived from the war department
by relatives Of all Of the boys in
this city stating that they had
been saved Papers as late as
Tuesday contained the name of
Fred Nc McCutcheon as being among
the missing but his safety has
been reported by the war de-
partment.
The sinking of the Transport
was the first disaster in which a
number of American soldiers
have lost their lives in the pres
ent war. Thousands have been

HOW WHEAT SMUT SPREADS

Experiments and observations in the
dry land sections show that it is pos
sible to thoroughly infect the soil of
wheat field with smut spores in two
days, either directly from smutted
wheat grown on the field, or indirectly
from smut spores blown from an in.
fected field, the blowing usually tax
ing place at threshnig time. Nearly
everyone has seen the immense cloid
of black dust rising from . threshing
machine threshing in smutty wheat
field. II these spores blow across into
plowed or summer fallowed land, they
will often infect the land to such an
extent that seed treatment will not
entirely prevent smut in the next
years CROP lai lgl1aB4y s-a ,H.gast
Dr.. Frederick D. Hesld has definite
ly worked out this source of infection
in the Pacific Northwest. Similar con.
ditions often prevail in our dry land

SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN

London, Jan. 16.-Reviewing the
first year of Germany's ruthless SUBJ
marine campaign, which ends February
!, the Tageblatt asserts the central
powers have succeeded in upsetting the
economic life of the entente, and adds
that the submarine campaign, which
has now become the principal factor in
naval warfare, is being expanded and
developed. @
Summarizing the results of the IN
derwater campaign, the Tageblatt as
serts the U-boats have sunk on an av-
erage of 1000 tons of shipping
monthly from February to December,
and for the whole year the toll may
be expected to show nearly 100000
tons, and that the building of new
ships by the entente and neutrals dur
ing the year will replace only between
100000 and 100000 tons of these
losses.
The newspaper says the monetary
loss to Germany's enemies as the rr-
suit of the years work by the U.boats
will reach $4,000, ,Ooo,ooo figuring the
value Of the ships at $3.50 per ton and
their cargo at the same rate.

country. 1 am German by birth, and

There were ten in our family and we
were poor like most of our countrymen
who came to America to get away from
the oppression, and it was hard mat
ter to keep the wolf from the door.
When l landed in this country and
went to work 1 received more money
for one months work than 1 got in
Germany for one years work. 1 sent
for my folks and am proud to say
they are all true American citizens.
and I will answer the president call
to arms against Germany or any other
country when needed.
1 don't see how my countrymen can

here without a cent and made money
here; now they want to fight the
country that feeds them. The kaiser
never did anything for them or for
me. If he had we would be back
there yet. All he did was to start
this cruel war and starve our people
over there and make soldiers out Of
everybody and force them to work for
his dirty twelve cents day with a
fourth pound of meat and a loaf Of
black bread. hope to see the day
when he is kicked out Of Germany and

have been cleared up. The murders
were committed with a hand axe.
Captain Whistler killed himself, firing
two shots from an army service rifle
into his head. The first bullet glanced
downward through one cheek, but the
other lodged in his brain. The suicide
followed a general order from head.
