Gift Made to City by +. T. Beers
Tuesday Night
Tract Comprises About Ten Acres of
Land Located on the
South Shore.

A beautiful Memorial Park
comprising about ten acres and
covering the land between 9Th
and 7th avenues east and ex-
tending from the Omaha tracks
to the lake front was presented
to the City of Washburn on
Tuesday night by F. T. Beers,
in behalf of the Dupont Patriotic
Association. Acceptance of the
tract was unanimous by the
Council and the deed to the prop
ierty will be made over by the
Dupont Association.
The land contained in this
park was purchased from ID. M.
Maxcy and A. w. Macleod at a
nominal figure and the several
parties holding, contracts on the
frontage property relinquished
their contracts that the entire
tract might be purchased.
The gift of the park was made
and is to be dedicated to the Sol
dlers, Sailors and Marines of
Washbura who fought in the
world war. Il is the intention
of the DUPONT Association to
erect a bronze tablet in the
park and if funds are available
to clear up the property of un-
derbrush and logs and to erect
benchssz4d tables.
The tract isVa beautiful one

COUNTY GRAIN AND POTATO
SHOW WAS AN EXCELLENT ONE

was a fine exhibit. Iron River
taking first. Mason second, and
Washburn third.
The apple section was merely
for display and the samples
were not judged but will be
used at the Northwestern Hor-
ticultural show to be hele at
Des Mcines. From the display
one would think that Bayfield,
county was one of the big apple
producing centers for many
varieties were exhibited, all fine
samples of fruit.
A. III. Potter had on display a
Cockrel and Capon, both about
the same age. in order to demon
strate the value of producing
capons for market. The Capon.
a triAe over five months old,
would bring $4 80 on the market
while the cockrel of the same
age would bring less than $2. 90.
There was a food demonstra-
ton in which dairy products
were compared for food value
with other eatables and this
showing was a revelation to
many.
During the afternoon and
evening of the show motion pic
lures were shown along agri-
cultural lines which proved to
be very interesting.
This was the first grain and
potato show ever held in the
county but it proved to be a
dandy and it is likely to become
a permanent institution. 1t can
be built up to become ore OF the
best shows held in the Northern
part of the state.

Cooperation Among Creamerymen Urged

Cooperation Among Creamerymen Urged
Successful organization OF
county associations by coOpera-
tive creameries in a few OF the
counties of the state suggests
to A j. Mcclure Of the agricul.
Lural extension division, Univer--
sity Farm, the advisability OF
extending the movement to all
counties that have a. goodly num-
Der Of such cre2meries. There
is an average of more than seven
cooperative creameries for every
county in Minnesota. Mr.. Nc
Guire says:
"There is need for co opera
tive cream cries to organize for
greater development. County
associations could probably do
the most TO enable creameries
to help one another. Officers
and buttermakers of all the
creameries in a county would
get together once or twicea year
to consider the problems OF
creamery management and to
exchange views and experiences.
All this would be helpful.
I'm 1918 che average price
paid for butt-rfat by the CO.
operative cr.ameries in this
state was SO 95 cents q pound.
The centralized 'creameries of
the state paid an average price
of 1884 cents. The difference
in price shows why cooperative
|creameries should unite to de-
velop their business. Should
they fail to survive it would
mean a ,ss of millions of dollars
a year to the farmers of Mime

DUPONT PATRIOTIC ASSN. PRESENTS
CITY WITH fine MEMORIAL PARK
Called by Death

! Mrs. Ingeborg F. Froseth, ag'
"a years, Z months and 20 days
passed away at her home OF
West Pine street last Saturday
morning after an illness caused
from a general breakdown
due to old age.
The funeral was held from the
late residence Monday after.
noon at 1:30 O'Clock, services be-
ing in charge of Rev. Chr
Christensen Of the Norwegian
Lutheran church. Interment
was in Woodland cemetery.
Mrs. Froseth was born March
IL, 1885, at Solberg, Soknedalen,
Norway, and immigrated to the
United States with her husband
and children in 1867, locating at
Menomonie, Wis. From there
they moved to Meridian, Wis.
and in 1887 came to this city
where the family has since re-
sided.
Mrs. Froseth was a kind and
loving mother and friend to
everyone. In her quiet way
she was always endeavoring TO
make others happy and when
sickness or trouble came to her
friends and neighbors she was
always first to offer her services
and many a feverish brow has
felt the touch of her kind and
loving hand. She was a Chris
tian woman who endeavored to
practice the teachings of Chris
tianity as she saw them and
when the final summons came
she was prepared to meet her
Maker.
She is survived by three child
rem living, Mrs. Nels Ray, John
and George Froseth Of this city
also two adopted children Mrs.
Al. w. Lindstrom and Henry
Larson, two grand children and
three great grandchildren.
These have the sympathy of the
community in their bereave-
ment.
Those from out of town here
to attend the funeral were Carl
Froseth Of Caryyille, j. N.
Froseth of Elk Mound. Cecil
Rovick of Eau Claire and Minnie
Lindstrom of Superior. A num-
Der of relatives residing at dis
tant places in rural districts
were unable to atten the funer-
al on account of weather condi-
tions which made travel impos-
sible.
Oh. Mother dear
We wept-'twas Nature wept, but
Faith
Can pierce beyond the gloom of death,
And in yon world SO fair and bright
Behold thee in refulgent ligh!
We miss thee here, yet Faith would
rather
Know thou art with thy heavenly
Father,
And we shall meet again.

Many People See What Crops Can
be Raised in County
Wonderful Showing Of Grain, Potatoes
and Fruits. Fine
Pictures.

The Bayfield, County Grain
and Potato Show was held at
the Y. M. C. A. building in this
city last Friday afternoon and
evening was a hummer and those
who attended the exhibit pro-
nounced it the best showing of
grains and potatoes ever held in
the county.
The exhibit was arranged un-
der the direction of County
Agricultural Agent V. E. Bru-
baker and practically every Sec
tion of the county was repre-
sented by exhibits, while many
visitors attended the show. but
due to bad roads and inclement
weather the attendance was not
as large as it should have been.
Tables were arranged down
the sides and across the ends Of
the building and these were
filled with exhibits. The SAM
pies of grain were placed in half
peck boxes made purposely for
the occasion which showed
the grains off to good advan-
tage. Such a showing Of wheat
oats, barley, rye. corn and peas
was never seen before. Well
suffice it to say that better grain
could not be grown anywhere in
the world.
In the grain showing there
was matured corn of the differ
ent types, including the Wiscon-
sin No. 8, No. 25, Minnesota
varieties. Northwestern Dent
and Smut nose dent, and the
hard flint corns. Such ears of
corn were fine to behold and in
dicated that the corn Belt line
has been pushed far enough
north to include Bayfield, county.
There was a time when only
the flint corn could be matured
in Bayfield, county. but that time
has gone and now almost any
early variety can be matured.
The same was true of the corn
belts farther south, but gradually
the corn line has beer pushed
north
In the small grain exhibit
some fine samples were on exhi-
bition, A. A. Potter of Washburn
taking first on winter wheat
while Port Wing captured first
on spring wheat. In the peas
and beans finer exhibits could
not be wished for. There was
on exhibition a half peck which
captured the first prize at the
Wisconsin State Fair and this
same sample took third place as
compared with other exhibits
from the county, indicating the
quality of the exhibits.
In potatoes Mr.. Hauser of Bay.
field had a fine exhibit and took
six first places. while Erick
Johnson of Port Wing took first
on Green Mountains.
Then there was the dairy ex.
hibit with creamery butter from
the six creamery associations oil
the county on exhibit. This

The County Agricultural Elk
hIbit and Demonstration held in
the Y. M. G. A. Oct. 3lst was q
great success in spite Of the
weather aud bad roads. This
success was due TO, the untiring
efforts of our County Agent Mr..

direction. Once a movement of
this kind is set on foot it il 80.
possible to estimate It's value in
dollars and cents to the County.
One would naturally suppose
that the people of Washburn
and especially the business men
would slow an interest by being
on hand to meet the farmers and
help along the good work. What
would have happened had this
same demonstration been held
in some other small city? l
have been privileged 10 work in
three counties in three states
and there was less interest in
this work by the people of
Washburn than in any other
demonstration / have ever at
tended. One is obliged to come
to one of two conclusions, either
men were too busy making
money to appreciate the good to
be derived from the exhibit Or
they knew the value of it but
were Indifferent because they
already have enough money.
Some few men were there and
it was a discovery for them to
see what Bayfield, county can
raise.
Washburn is not what it used
to be and never before did men
need to make use Of their show
windows and their advertising
pace in the newspapers. Peo-
pie are not buying as they did
but they are buying and some
body is doing business. Farm
land is still on the market and
new sdttlers are attracted by
certain considerations. We have

We going to be loo modestt td
