OPEN SEASON
is NOW OVER
Few Deer Brought in from the
Hunting Camps
Poor Hunting Conditions and Scarcity Of
Deer Results in Light
Slaughter
The 1918 hunting season fol

The 1918 hunting season for
deer is over. The season
opened on the 21st of November
and ended on Saturday evening
and since that time hunters have
been returning from the woods,
the greater part of them with
out venison.
Hunting season this year has
been unusually difficult. During
the first eight days of the season
there was arp absence of snow
and this made hunting difficult.
The snow of the last two days of
the season came too late to be of
much value to the hunters and
many of them weref forced to re-
turn empty handed.
1t is the general report among
hunters that deer were not
usually plentiful this season and
many Of those who spent the
greater part of the ten days in
the woods came back without
having seen a deer, while others
say that their chances of bring
ing down a denizen of the forest
were unusually slim.
Many of the deer which were
killed were what were
termed lucky hits" Some
were killed by hunters on their
way to the woods within hailing
distance from the city, while
hunters who made long trips in
to what used to be the real deer
country returned again without
having seen any game.
Many of the hunters will have
to depend upon the butchers OF
the city for their supply of meat.
Figuring from the dollar and
cents standpoint it is safe to say
that every pound of venison
brought to the city cost the
hunter many times the price of
the best porterhouse but it is
said to be worth it to those who
were successful but we feel
rather sorry for the boys who
spent their time and returned
empty handed.

New York Tribune says WaShbum
Attorney May Be Selected
As Representative of the Federal Trade
Commission. A Great
Honor.

1t is possible that the city of
Washburn may have a repre-
sentative at the peace conference
to be held in Europe the coming
month. That man may be At
torney John Walsh, chief coun-
sci for the Federal Trade Com
mission.
News of this was contained in
an article published in the New
York Tribune of Friday in which
it says:
"The Federal Trade Commits
sion probably will be represent
ed among the advisors Of the
American delegation to the COM
ing peace conference, it was
learned today. Such a repre-
sentative is desirable, officials
say, in order that the conferees
may have the benefit of the in
formation on foreign trade which
the commission has gathered
in the course Of it's work.
John Walsh. attorney for the
Commission, has been mentioned
as the probable selection of the
Commission to handle this
work" /"

been selected as the representa-
tive of the Commission for it is
a great honor to sit at one of the
biggest peace conferences ever
held in the history Of the world,

Car in Which he Was Riding Was
Demolished
MIR. Olson Bruised and Injured But
Has Been Able to Leave
the Hospital.

Eben Olson. of Port Wing,
narrowly escaped death Sunday
afternoon when an auto he was
driving was struck by an Omaha
passenger train and demolished
That he came out of the wreck
with but few minor injuries is
miraculous.
The accident occurred on the
Ashland -Washburn road near
the site of the old ice house
where the road is crossed by
the Omaha line. Mr.. Olson was
coming to Ashland in his seven
passenger REQ. There is a heavy
grade up to the railroad crossing
and probably Mr.. Olson's car
stalled while the train was
rounding the curve which is but
a short distance away.
The train could not be stopped
in time to avoid the accident and
it struck Mr.. Olson's auto amid
ship, carried it about fifty feet
down the right of way, breaking
a cattle guard down in doing SO
and ended by throwing the car
down an embankment.
The train crew ran to the
wreck expecting to find one or
two persons killed but instead
saw Mr.. Olson crawling from
the wreck. He was not badly
|injureGt5usthe train backed up
to the station and he was taken
to the General hospital.
He is getting along nicely and
and has no broken bones even
as a result of the accident. Ash

This is Conservation Week Through
out the United States
People Called Upon to Eliminate All
Waste So Far as Possible.
Need of Saving.
This is conservation week.

| This is conservation week.
| Fighting has stopped but the United
States is pledged by the federal gov
| ernment to help feed the Allies and
the nations just released from Hun
domination.
Herbert Hoover, acting at the re-
quest of the President, is in charge
of this work and he has named the
week of Dec. 2 for special considera-
| ton of the food problems which this
country and the world now face.
Work Has Been Taken Up
The County Council of Defense has
taken up the work in this county
Mrs. A. H. Wilkinson, women MEM
Der of the council, county chairman,
and Mrs. l.. Hogt, and Mrs. F. T.
Beers Washburn. Mrs. Kathleen
Calkins, federal food demonstrators is
also cooperating in the work.
No One is to go Hungry
Nobody is asked to go hungry or
| to go without anything essential to
health or happiness. The people of
| the county are asked to consult their
own self-interest. They are asked
to eliminate waste, to eat no more
than is necessary, to do away with
the afternoon and midnight lunches.
In other words, to serve their pocket
books, their health and their coun-
try at the same time.
The freeing of the seas from the
submarine menace has made avail
able the stores of wheat in Australia,
India and the Argentine but the de-
feat of Germany has at the same time
| opened the way to save from starva-
ton the subject peoples OF Polish
Russia, Belgium, Northern France,
Serbia, Roumania and other locali-
| ties.
This takes no account of the Gen.
tral Powers which claim to be short
of food. There is %.some argument
from a selfish standpoint why they
should be allowed a certain amount
of food stuffs.
The German People Must Eat
AS the News has said before, the
German people must have enough
| food to maintain life if they are 60
| ing to pay the lndeEnities which will
be laid upon them by the peace COM
| ference. There is also something
which could be said about the Boil
shevik menace which seems to be
creeping around the world and which
prospers most among hungry peoples.
The future peace and prosperity of
the world may demand that no great
Ination be starved.
But the first call is for the peoples
Iwho have been fighting the Hun and
lwho have been under his iron heel.
Americans will not question the right
BUSINESS of feeding them and it will
take 10000 900 tons of food to do it
until they can have a harvest of their
own.
To make this tremendous amount
available requires the help of every
man, woman and child in the United
States. Eat enough, eat wisely and
eliminate waste. This is reasonable
and it will do all that is required.

MERCHANTS all over America are
1V1 saving from a thousand dollars
year up on their delivery service the
VIM Delivery Car.
And they are serving their customers
more promptly, more efficiently.
Because the VIM puts delivery on a
practical, business basis. 1t is built for
delivery only.
When you see VIM coming down the
street you may know that the man who owns
it has found out just exactly how much
it costs to send your merchandise home.
You may know that there are not lot
of excessive gasoline, tire and repair costs
tackled on to the prices you pay for goods.
Can you feel this way when a mer-
chant uses converted pleasure car to

pleasure riding-and not built to jounce
over all kinds of roads with dead aUeight
loads up to thousand pounds?

NASH LINE MAKES
SPLENDID START
introduced Within Six Months
Factory Will Make Great
Production Effort

One of the features of more than
usual interest at the show is the ex-
hibit of Nash perfected valve-in-
head passenger cars. all of which
have been introduced to the buying
public within the last six months.
The Nash line of cars is shown
at the exhibit space of the Bentz-
Landis Auto Co.
In addition to the passenger cars
which are built by the Nash organi-
cation are two new rear-driven
trucks, a one-ton and a two-t ton.
which are offered as truck mates of
the famous Nash Quad, which drives,
brakes and steers on all four
wheels.
During the past year, under the
c. B. Voorhis, a strong selling or
ganization has been perfected. Thir-
ty-one distributors, all men of long
experience in the industry, have
been selected to handle the whole
sale trade for the entire United
States. Each of these in turn has
organized a dealer body comprised
of sound businessmen with estab-
1ished regulations for the successful
marketing of motor cars.
And now, with the start of the
new year, comes the news that the
great Nash factory is just swinging
into big volume production to meet
the demand, which up to date is eX-
cceding the supply.
With the first announcement of
the perfected valve-in-head Nash

Tested in the Nash perfected valve
in-head motor as marking a distinct
advance in motor engineering. In
many instances orders We're placed
without so much as a demonstration,
so eager were motorists to secure
early delivery.
And now within the five months
that have elapsed since the first an
nouncemeut these cars have had OPP
portunity to prove their worth in the
hands of actual owners. Hearty IN
dorsements from all sides are tn :
rule. Everywhere the power and
performance of the perfected valve
in-head motor have been COM
mended.
c. w. Nash says: The reception
our new car has been accorded by
the public is more than gratifying
to me. This car embodies the ideals
which we as an organization and
as an individual have held for u long
time. The forming of the Nash
Motor Company gave us an oppor-
tunity to express them to our own
satisfaction for the first time"

SOFT TIRES EXPENSIVE
Under Initiation Means Large Fuel
Consumption.

Some motorists do not keep the
tires properly inflated, giving as
their reason that the car rides sc
much easier with soft tire and that
mended by the maker the car rides
hard. If one can afford such lux
ury, well and good, but it is eXpen-
sive comfort. Under-inflated tires
mean a greater consumption of fuel
a breaking up of the fabric due To
the weaving movement and other
stresses that separate the plies OF
