Red Cross and co. That every
child will earn and save to buy
thrift stamps and SO help win
the war.
Made Good Showing

The t)wn of Bayview in Bayfield,
county certainly is making for
itself a record that they can ebe
proud of in the way of patriotic
work, and one that will be envied
by the rest of the towns throughout
the county. This town, which is a
farming section, boasts of more
members to the Red Gross per popu-
Iaton than any other town. 1t has
also exceeded in donations for Red
Cross and Y. M. G. A. and now it
comes across with the first real big
donation toward the Bay fl Id Coun-
ty Boys Tobacco fund.
During the past two weeks two
socials have been given in the town
to raise funds for this fund. the first
being given at the Houghton school
and the second at the Roosevelt
school,.
Much credit for the success of the
sccials is due Mrs. Tim Burke and
Mrs, Alex Legacy for the great
interest which they have shown,
and many others in the town are
also entitled to great credit.
Below we give list Of the
douators to the Tobacco Fund.

ORGANIZE GARDEN
MOVEMENT
War Gardens to be Started by PeO-
pie Of This City
Will be an Aid to Winning the War
Against the German Empire.
Meeting Last Night.

The war garden movement in
Washburn was given great
start last night at a we'll attend
ed meeting held at the CONNER
cial Club rooms. The injecting
was arranged by County Agent
| V. E. Brubaker and George F.
Morgan of this city.
George Potter, of the college
of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin was present and
delivered a very interesting
illustrated lecture of the work to
be done by war gardeners. Mr..
Potter told his audience that the
war gardeners and city people
must make greater efforts this
spring than was made last year.
The supplies of food, he said,
are still lower than they were a
year ago, and with the increased
scarcity of help some market
gardeners will plan to grow the
less intensively cultivated crops,
leaving the home gardener to
supply his own vegetables. He
said the satisfaction of doing
ones bit to help win the war
and the saving in the cost of
food will make the effort of all
we'll worth while.
The plan as outlined at the
meeting is to plant every avail
able vacant lot in the city to war
gardens. Children of the schools
are to be interested'in the move
ment under the direction of 'Supt.
G. D. Hyper and Agricultural
Instructor Mr.. Best.
Washburn is going to do it's
share in the war gardens and
movement should be Encouraged
to the utmost if we are to make
our efforts count in increasing
our supply of food stuffs and
helping thus to win the war.

TO GIVE LENROOT
NICE VOTE HERE.
Republican Candidate will Receive
Great Endorsement Tuesday
Northern Wisconsin Has an Opportunity
to be Represented in the
Senate.

Northern Wisconsin has an
opportunity to elect a man to
the United States Senate in the
election next Tuesday by elect
ing Irvine L. Lenroot, now serv-
ing as Congressman from the
18th Congressional district, but
who is a candidate on the Re-
publican ticket to succeed Paul
Husting.
Northern Wisconsin has al
ways stood behind Mr.. Lenroot
who has represented them so
faithfully during the past years
and they are going to stand be-
hind him next Tuesday and help
to elect him to the greatest office
at the gift of the people of Wis
eonsin. 1t is Northern Wiscon-
sins opportunity.
Lenroot was chosen as the
loyalty candidate by the Re-
publicans in the primaries held
recently and Bayfield, county
gave him a handsome endorse
ment. Mr.. Lenroot will have
very little opposition so far as
Bayfield, county is concerned and
from reports throughout the
state he is going to have little
difficulty so far as the state is
concerned.
Bayfield, county voters stand
right for Lenroot but there is
the question of getting out the
vote. Every voter should go to
the polls next Tuesday and cast
his ballot for Mr.. Lenroot. Let's
go over the top in this election
as we have in the other patriotic
moves. Show Mr.. Lenroot that
Bayfield, county is behind him.
The main thing is TO vote for
Lenroot and see that your friends
do likewise. Elect a North Wis
consin man to the United States
senatorship a man that has been
right with the people, and who
will serve them faithfully in the
upper branch of the house.
