Have Turkey ANYWAY

The other day there was wired
TO Lieut.. r. w. Smith of the
Washburn volunteer company
the sum of four hundred dollars
the donation of the people OF
this city, to provide the boys
who are under the charge OF
the Washburn Lieutenant with
a turkey dinner.
The day following the sending
of the message the daily news.
papers announced that Turkey
had been taken and it now be-
gins to look as if the Allies
would not only enjoy having
turkey but would gobble up the
rest of the Teutonic allies before
Thanksgiving time.
The money sent to the Wash
burn company can in all prob
ability be used in enjoying
peace feast at Thanksgiving
time.

Foreign Interests Look
to Washburn for Ships

cial support. Ashland and Bayfield,
residents are also taking an interest
in the plant, believing that it will be
a great institution and will help to
build up the Chequamegon Bay dis
trict.
The company is hurrying work in
order to be able to take on contracts
for ships. The u. S. Government
will be considered first when the yard
is ready to build ships and outside
contracts will also be looked for
as soon as the war is over.
This week the company officials
have been in communication with
New York parties representing
foreign interests who are making in
quiry as to type of ships to be
built with view to placing contracts.
Things look very good for the COM
pany from every viewpoint.

CIRCUIT COURT
s ADJOURNED
Because of the Influenza Epidemic
in Washburn
Fall Term Of Court Has Been Postponed
Indefinitely by Judge
G. N. Risjord.

Circuit Court for Bayfield,
county will not convene at the
Court House in this city on the
18th of November as was an
nounced last week, court having
been postponed to some future
date by Circuit Judge G. N. Ris-
jord because Of the influenza
epidemic in Washburn.
The jurors who were sum-
moned to appear on the 18th
have been notified of the post
ponement of court and they
will be summoned again when
the date for court has been set.
The action of Judge Risjord
was taken after comforting with
City Health officers. The doc
tors of the county, who are
working shorthanded, have
more than they can do in
taking care OF the cases now,
and with jurors coming in from
the rural sections of the county
they might spread the disease
and this would give the doctors
more work than they would be
able to take care of. Judge Ris-
jord decided that it would be
wise to adjourn court at this
time and the term will probably
open during the winter months.

Only Contest is That Over Govern
Orship.
DemOcatic Candidate Polls Good Vote in
Bayfield, County. No
County Contests.

Because of the fact that there
were no contests on the county,
assembly or senatorial tickets in
the election Tuesday there was
little interest manifest and the
vote was anunusually small one.
The only contest in so far as
Bayfield, county was concerned
seemed to be on the head of the
ticket between the Republican
and Democratic candidates for
Governor. Emanuel Phillip,
Republican candidate was OPP
posed by Henry A. Moehlenpah.
The Democratic candidate was
supposed to make a great run in
the north end of of the state and
would have polled a much larger
vote had it not been for the
eleventh hour appeal by Presi-
dent Wilson which turned many
Republicans back to the Repub-
lican ticket who might have
otherwise scratched the head of
the ticket.
The candidates for county,
assembly and senatorial offices
had an easy time of it, getting
practically every vote cast.
Moehlenpah, carried the city
for governor over Phillip, re-
publican, securing 145 votes to
1926 for Phillip. Sidel, the So
cialist candidate received 70
votes while 13 were cast for
Dean, prohibition candidate.

Refuses to Modify Fire Limit Or
dinance
Which would Give the Railway Company
Permission to Construct
Wooden Depot.

The city council of Washburn
at a meeting held on Tuesday
evening of this week turned
down the request of the Omaha
railway company for the modi-
fication of the fire limit or
dinance which would permit
them to construct a frame ad-
dition to their depot in this city.
For some time the Omaha
company has been endeavoring
to enlarge their present depot
structure but the fire ordinance
provides that only buildings of
a fireproof construction can be
erected in that locality and this
has been bar to the railway
company enlarging the present
structure.
The old depot which the
Omaha company is now using
has been serving it's purpose for
the past twenty years and the
people of this city feel that the
Omaha company should con-
struct a modern fireproof struc-
'ture. This the company say
they refuse to do but they are
willing to enlarge the present
structure.
Washburn has one of the poor
est depots on the entire system
of the Omaha despite the fact
that the company does more
business here than at any other
point along their line. We are
rightfully entitled to a new
structure but this the Omaha
officials refuse to give us but in
stead offer to remodel their
present structure. The council
did not believe in having any
thing slipped over on them and
they turned down the applica-
tion Of the Omaha for a modifi-
cation of the fire ordinance.

Announcement is made by the
Anchor Shihbuilding company this
week to the effect that engineers will

County Must Raise Total of $39, 500
for Fund
Seven Great Organizations Included in
this Great Drive Give
to the Limit

The United War Campaign.
the object of which is to
raise 10 millions of dollars in
one campaign for the different
war work organizations--th the 7.
M. C. A., the Knights of Colum-
bus, Jewish Welfare Board, Sal
walton army, American Library
Association, War Camp Com
munity Service and the Y. w.
c.. A. will be started in Bay y
field county next Monday morn
ing and will continue for one
week.
1t has been decided to make
one great drive for all of these
organizations, instead of in
dividual drives for each, and
the plan has the approval of the
United States government.
Bayfield, county must raise a
total of $50, 900 of which S17, 100
is the share for the city of
Washburn and town of Barks-
dale, including the Dupont plart.
There never was a more
worthy cause than the United
War Work campaign and the
people are asked to give to the
limit in order to put Bayfield,
county over the top. Our fight
ing boys in France and our boys
stationed in this country know
the value of these organizations,
every letter from the front and
from the training camps tells Of
the wonderful work being done
by these organizations and
urging our support.
Never was money more need
ed. Even though the war should
soon end it will be two years or
more before our boys can all
get back from France. There
must be lot of things provided
for them. These organizations
=
provide the comforts and amuse-
ments for our soldiers. They
must have funds with which to
do it. They are the organiza-
tions that offer cheer, aid and
comfort to our boys that they
may be better fighting men
while in service and better citi-
zens after they return. If there
ever was a time when funds
were needed for these organi-

Legal Advisory Board Has Been Busy
Giving Assistance During
the Past Week.

The work being done by the
local board Of Bayfield, county in
sending out missionaries does
not look as if the war was any
where near over, despite the
fact that the newspapers are
containing news to the contrary.
During the past week the local
Board has been busy mailing
out questionnaires to the men
from 36 to 45 years of age and
these are now being filled out
and returned.
The Legal Advisory Board for
the city has been busy the past
week assisting registrants in
making out their questionnaires
and Chairman A. w. Macleod
of the Legal Advisory Board has
kept crew of men at the court
house every day assisting regis
trants.
This crew has been divided
into shifts so that the work has

commodate the greatest number,

turned to the office of the Local
Board.
This will be followed by the
classifying of the registrants by
the Local Board and the ex-
amining of those who will be
called for military service. The
court house is surely a busy
place during war times but

IT, spirit Ct s~elf-sncrifce for the Fen
eft If their country. brings to mind
a picture Of those trying DAYS Of
war in the sixties when every home
in the South had felt the call Of pa
triotism in some form of sacrifice.
Though almost every community now
has its circle of workers in war relief
work, not yet have we felt the de-
privation Of our comforts. We are
giving out Of our abundance of means
and leisure, and it has not yet meant
that heavy burden which fell to the
lot of our Confederate mothers in
their work for the soldiers Of the
South. "All Of US boast Of the Red
Cross work and the Y. NJ. c. A..
work" says James Galloway in the
Macon Telegraph; "but the women of
the Confederacy were all Eat work for
for the soldiers. Every farm had
its spinning wheel and it's Joe Brown
cards. The wool was SPUN and made
ready for the loom, and the jeans
turned out was warm and comfort
able. In the towns the ladies' gath
cred regularly at night. and all sorts
of Red Cross work was prepared for
the hospitals. They also had great
quilting festivals, and warm wooden
quilts were made to serve as blank
cts. There were no idlers. Every
young lady and every mother did
her part, as the women Of England
and France and our own America
are doing today. Every home was a
knitting machine, and they supplied
the soldiers with socks. There was
not that spesch-making by women
as now, nor any parade made over
what they did. 1t was just a matter
of course. Soldiers relief societies
were everywhere. No village was
without them"
What a difference! Instead of hav-
ing the yarn supplied to them by the
government, our mothers took the
wool just from the sleeps back and
converted it into the thread for knit
ting socks or weaving cloth, and the
were well made. Much has been said
and written Of the helplessness and
dependence of southern women before
