THE CITY'S MILK SUPPLY.

INVESTIGATION of the city's milk supply is very
proper and important part Of the public health survey
to be conducted here next week Much sickness partcu
isry among infants is traceabe to impure milk Constant
vigilance and strict regulations needed to keep the
milk supply up to standard 1t is difficult to teach a
sanitary habits that dairymen won't make the
effort except under pressure But with the price OF milk
as high it is at present, the purchasing public has
right to demand that all precautions be taken its
purity That would be true at any price to be sure the
public health is something not be reckoned entirely
financial basis but money much that is apt
to be more particular when prices higher And in
ation to this milk supply in which all are interested to
some extent the statement of OF the investigators that
pasteuriled milk is the safest kind buy should be re-
membered The destroys bacteria without detract
ing from the food value. Get that kind when YOU can

Matter to be Brought Before Com
mercial Club Friday Night
All Men Over Draft Age, Whether
Married or Not, are
Eligible.


Is Washburn going to have a
Home Guard Company? That
is the question that will be de-
cided at a meeting to be held at
the Commercial Club tomorrow
evening when the matter will be
brought before the Club by
President Gray Thompson.
For some time Mr.. j. P,
Jacobson, Mr.. Thompson and
others have been talking up the
proposition of organizing a
Home Guard Company and SC
much interest has been mani.
tested in the movement that it
is expected that the company
can be started with nearly full
membership.
The Home Guard company
is semi-military organization
used in the protection of the
home territory. They are thor
oughly organized and equipped
and can be used for home duty
when called upon by the state.
Many other localities through
out the northwest have fine
Home Guard companies and the
need of such an organization at
Washburn, which is the home of
the big Barksdale plant, is ap-
parent.
All man above draft age may
become members of the Home
Guard company.

A Finish Match

Elmer Sanders, pride of Ash
land and Fred Beele, former
champion middleweight wrestler
of the world, have been matched
for a finish match to be staged
at the Majestic Theatre at Ash
land on Thursday evening, May
9th.
Beele and Sanders wrestled at
Ashland some time ago in a
handicap match in which Beele
agreed to throw Sanders in an
hours time, which he failed to
do.
The Ashland fans believe that
Sanders great strength will
wear down the Marshfield man
and that he will be able to secure
a fall.
Inasmuch as a large crowd is
expected to attend from this
city arrangements are being
made to have the Steamer Mary
Scott bring back the crowd
should the match not be finished
before train time.

ANOTHER CONTINGENT LEAVES
FOR FRONT ON FRIDAY
Bullet Just Missed Him

Rev. o. w. Smith, pastor of
the First Congregational church
in this city, considers himself
lucky to be alive. Had it not
been for the fact that he was
taking a nap during one after
noon of last week some other
pastor might have already
preached his funeral sermon.
1t was while Mr.. Smith was
taking a nap that a bullet came
whizzing through the window,
lodging in book in the book
case. The course from where
the shot entered the window to
where it lodged in the book was
in a direct line with the chair in
which Mr.. Smith sits while in
his study. Had he been at his
work at the time the bullet
came through the window the
shot would have lodged in Mr..
Smiths ear.
1t is Mr.. Smiths belief that
the shot was a stray bullet fired
by someone outside of the city
limits. 1t was from a high power
rifle of the 1880 of 33 calibre
and was going at good rate of
speed when it hit the book for it
almost went through the book.
Mr.. Smith has been doing
great work along patriotic lines
since the United States went to
war and some of his remarks
against pro-germans have been
right to the point. For a minute
after the accident he feared that
maybe some OF these pros might
have fired the shot but after an
investigation he is Of tIh e
opinion that it wasa stray bullet.
Mr.. Smith does not like being
shot att especially when he has
no chance of shooting back and
he would like tohave these care
less persons be a little more
careful in future when they are
firing with high powered guns.

GREAT SENDOFF FOR BOYS
LEAVING FOR TRAINING CAMPS
Get Rid of Pests

The big opportunity for the
whole state to pull together in
getting rid of all the tall bar
berry bushes will be Arbor Day,
which falls on Friday of this
week. Wisconsin must do her
share again, and do it a little
in advance of her neighbors, if
possible. The campaign a.
gainst the tall barberry bush
is not merely statewide, but
government and state officials
are pushing the drive vigorous
ly in all the wheat growing
states, particularly those of the
Mississippi valley. North Da-
kota has done it, Iowa und Min
nesota are doing it. Wisconsin
will not fall behind them.
The Wisconsin campaign a.
gainst the barberry was begun
only six weeks ago, and more
than SO per cent of the state is
practically free of the bush
which endangers the wheat crop
by spreading black rust. But
to insure the safety Of the big
gest wheat crop in the history
of the country, nothing but a
loo per cent record will do for
this state.
Arbor Day is not only a>plant.
ing day, but a day for general
cleaning up. Pull the tall bar.
berry plant from every hedge
and lawn in the state and plant
some harmless shrub in it's
place. If weed is a plant in
the wrong place the tall barber
ry is weed among shrubs,
for it has no place in a wheat
growing country.
Make 'sPull and Plant The
slogan for Arbor Day in this
county.
