to extreme cold weather the po-
tatoes were taken off the car at
some point over night, and were
not reloaded the following day,
therefore were sent to Milwau-
kee by local freight and did not
arrive in time to be set up as a
County exhibit. Mr.. Brubaker,
however, succeeded in getting
some entries Judged and Mr..
Hauser of Bayfield, again won
two prizes.
At Des Moines Show
Mr.. j. F. Hauser of Bayfield,,
had a very good showing of po-
tatoes at Des Moines, Iowa,
where TIE Midwest Horticulture
al exposition was held and won
first prize on this variety which
Melted him $4,000 in cash and a
fine potato grader. Bayfield,
county also won first prize on
our five plates of wealthy apples
against strong competition, as
there was a large show of apples
from other states.
Widely Advertised
The past season Bayfield, coun-
ty has been widely advertised
agiiculturally. Thousands of
people have seen our exhibits at
Iowa, Chicago and Wisconsin
fairs and know that Bayfield,
county farmers can produce
crops which can compete and
win against crops grown in other
localities which have been known
as the best agricultural sections.
u
Bayfield, county places great
dependence on agriculture for
future wealth and for this reason
it is well that our exhibits be
shown each year for through
this work many are coming to
our cut-over lands to buy lands
and make homes and farms.
The farmers who are taking an
active interest in exhibiting
Bayfield, county produce are to
be congratulated for the showing
made.
They are not only advertising
their own farm and community
but are helping to boost the
entire county. County Agent
Brubaker hopes that another
year will see many of our farm
ers exhibiting at our grain and
potato shows.

Plead Guilty to Breaking Into Box
Cars at Bib0n
Arrested Last Week by Game Wardens
and Bayfield, County
Sheriff.

Max Goethlick and Roy Wolff,
who were arrested last week by
Bayfield, County authorities and
lodged in the county Jail on the
charge of breaking into a box
car at Bibon and also for having
furs of protected animals in their
possession, evidently decided
that it was best for them to plead
guilty and after laying in the
county Jail for a week they asked
that they be taken before the
Judge where they could enter
their pleas.
They entered a plea of guilty
to breaking into a box car at
Bibon and for this offense were
sentenced to fifteen months
each in the Waupon State prison.
They were taken to Waupon last
Thursday evening where they
began serving their sentences.
They plead not guilty to having
furs of protected animals in
their possession.
This whiskered pair were the
very picture of the popular con-
ception of the Russian bolshevik,

was located in the center of the

hardest places to get to in North.

shack was reached by polling

through muck and mud, but dur.

swamp is frozen over it is rather

The shack was discovered by
Conservation Warden Grey OF
Ashland who snad visited tine

beaver dams which might have
to be destroyed during the com

President Of Water Company Says
Business is Losing Proposition
Offers to Sell Utility TO the City of
Washburn or Will Ask for
Raise in Rates.

There evidently is not the profit
in the water business that some
people think there is, at least
that is what one would get from
a letter written by w. G.. Maxcy
President of the Washburn
Water Company, which we pub
lish in this issue.
The letter infers that the
Water business in Washburn is
a losing proposition, and that
the company is willing to make a
deal whereby the. plant will be
sold to the city. Unless the city
decides to purchase the plant
the water company official says
an application will be made to
the Railway Commission for
raise in rates.
The letter being self explana-
tory, needs no further comment
at this time.
Washburn, Wis.
Nov. Is, 1919.
Hon. Mayor and Common Council,
Washburn, Wis.
Gents:
We desire to call your attention to
the financial condition of this COM
pany, which is steadily losing money,
and to say to you that there are only
two remedies. One is for the city
to buy the plant and fix rates to suit
itself, and the other is for the Water
Company to apply to the Railroad
Rate Commission for ain increase in
the hydrant rental, and private rates
sufficient to enable it to meet its
operating expenses and interest
charges.
This company. is about the only
utility in the state that has not
asked for an increase in rates TO
meet the tremendous advance in
labor and materials that has taken
place during the last three years.
We were in hopes that the end of
the war wcald bring such reduction
in cost of labor and material as would
enable us to get by, but it does not
look as though there would be, and
We are placed in such position that
if the city does not care to buy we
must ask for the increase.
This is very important matter to
the city, and we feel that you should
give careful consider alton, and as
certain the sentiment of your people.
There should be a frank and free
discussion, and all the facts bearing
on the case should be laid before the
citizens of Washburn so that they
can intelligently decide which action
would be the best for the city.
Yours truly,
Washburn Water Works Co.
BY w. G. Maxcy,
President.

Half Your Living Without Money Cost

We are all at danger point. On the use of good common sense in our 1919 farm and garden operations, de- bends prosperity or our going broke"
 Even at present high prices no one can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy food and grain at present prices from supply merchant on credit, and make money. Food and grain are higher in proportion than are present cotton prices.
 It's time above all others to play safe; to produce all possible food, grain and forage supplies on your own acres; to cut down the store bill.
 A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round, can be made to furnish nearly half your liv- ing. It will save you moro money than you made on the best two or three acres of cotton you ever grew!

NEW CALOMEL IS BEST FOR COLDS
 AND INFLUENZA
DOCTORS NOW PRESCRIBE CALo- TABS, THE PURIFIED cALoMEL, THAT IS SAFE AND NAUSEA LESS.

Doctors are warning the public that simple colds and mild cases of influ- enza often lead to pneumonia and other serious complications. They say that every cold should receive immediate attention and that the first step in the treatment is to make sure that the liver is active. For this purpose Calotabs, the perfected. nausealess calomel that is freed from danger of salvation, is the surest, best and most agreeable laxative.
 One Calotab at bed time with a swallow of water-that's all, no salts, no nausea, no danger and no upset ting of the digestion and appetite. Next morning your cold has vanished your liver is active, your system IS purified and refreshed and. you are feeling fine with a hearty appetite for breakfast.
 For your protection Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents. All druggists recommend and guarantee Calotabs by offering to refund the price if you are not delighted with them.

WARNING AGAINST
 PERISHABLE CROPS
AVERAGE FARMER LOSES MON, EY WHEN HE TRIES TO RAISE THEM TO SELL SAYS MIR. COT TREIL.

Little Rock, Feb 19.-"DANGER!
 Don't raise to sell vegetables, Irish or sweet potatoes or melons unless you know before you plant the ground where you can market them at a profit, what varieties, in what conditions and at what time buyers want these products and will pay the highest prices for them.'
 This warning, printed on glar- ing yellow poster, decorated at the top with skull and cross bones. is being mailed over the state by Fl. M. Cottrell, agriculturist of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Lit tie Rock Board of Commerce.
 This warning is in line with the policy that the profitable farming bu- reau always has maintained but at this time as the result of the agita tion for a reduction of the cotton acre age, MT. Cottrell feared that some farmers might be beguiled into at- tempting to raise perishable products for which they would have no mark ct. Many Arkansas farmers have had this disastrous experience in the past.
 Continuing, the poster says:
 Dc not raise these crops unleas your neighbors and yourself can make frequent carload shipments through the season each product is wanted by the consumer. There is money in raising truck, potatoes and melons, when raised and marketed by experts. The average farmer loses every time he tries to raise these crops to sell.
 Raise an abundance of these crops for family use.
 Cotton and hogs should be the chief money products on most Arkan sas farms. The groceries, clothing and shoes should be paid for from the sale of eggs and poultry. Many farms find hay, Spanish peanuts, wheat, rice, dairy cattle and beef cattle pay"

More hens on every farm, that is what we say, but this we add: Hens of the right kind May the days of the mongrel grow less and her tribe diminish. If you want eggs that class as firsts and broilers that top the market in price, get pure bred hens.
 We have had battle with the flu, and now folks can rest assured this hen fever is going to spread Once you catch it and it is incurable. The only thing that will satisfy is to own a few hens.
 The farmer who will not put hogs, cattle and poultry into his farm scheme is afflicted with pure cussed ness. He ruins himself and the other fellow, too, for he is beating down the price by raising too much of a very necessary article, but product that has no guaranteed price, but has the manipulator with his foot on the price thermometer. He is going to keep her down if he can, but short acreage will put her up. The hen enthusiasts can help the good work along by preaching more and better hens Out with the hen gospel

POULTRY NOTES

No use to be haphazard about set ting the hen If you permit her to set in the hen house where other hens are laying, she will be contind- ally disturbed and will break many eggs and many will be spoiled. The baby chick is worth about 20 cents and it is certainly worth your while to use precautions and make every effort to hatch every chick possible. The way to do this is to move the hen to matching coop that has been provided. If the coop has run in front she will not be disturbed by other hens and there will be no ex- changing of nests. 1t does not seem that the hen has the instinct to al ways go to the right nest when she leaves for her dust bath, feed and water. In this way many eggs are ruined each year. If the run is made and feed and water are placed in the run she can leave her nest and get her feed when she desires it. Otherwise when she makes her way to the yard when the hens are not being fed she will find nothing at all to eat and must go back without feed or remain too long from the nest searching for food.
 Then when the matching time comes she can remain right in this home and be kept for several weeks in the run way until the chicks are thrifty enough to keep pace with her. The average hen Overtaxes the strength of the young chicks and walks them to death. Then when the showers come she does not have sense enough to get to her coop to protect her young. It is a big job when you see the shower coming to get out and herd up lot of hens and chickens. In fact, job hard to put over, for the chicks do not drive we'll
 Get ready to take care of the hatch ing and we will present you with the feeding method next time. The most important thing to do first is to get ready for properly handling the brood hen.
 Build some coops right now, if you have none, or saw barrels half in two, make hole big enough for the hen to enter, set the half barrels on blanks and build the run in front of them.
