BOARD FAvORS
DRY MEASURE.
-
Ask Senator and Assemblyman to
Support Ratification,
Only One Member on Board Opposes the
Resolution Presented
Tuesday.

Ed. Daniels Of Iron River
seems to be the only member OF
the county Board of Bayfield,
County who does not favor the
ratification of the dry amend
ment which is soon to come be-
fore the State Legislature. At
least he is the only member OF
the Board voting against a reso-
luton which was presented by
Supervisor Robinson at the
Tuesday meeting of the County
Board which placed the county
board members on record for
the ratification amendment, and
asking the Senator and Assembly
man from this district to vote
for the ratification when it
comes before the Wisconsin
Legislature.
There are only two wet towns
in Bayfield, county, being the
town of Iron River and Barnes,
Iron River is represented on
the Board by Ed. Daniels, while
the town of Barnes is represent
ed George F. Barnes. Mr..
Barnes was not present at the
Tuesday meeting of the Board
and Mr.. Daniels was the only
member voting against the reso-
lution.
A telegram has been forward
ed to the State Senator A. H.
Wilkinson and Assemblyman
Frank w. Downs asking their
support for the ratification and
their attitude is endorsed by the
people of Bayfield, county who
are overwhelmingly dry"

COUNTRY LIFE CLUB
Their First Meeting an Enthusiastic
One and Well Attended

One and Well Attended
Thirty-two young people of the
Washburn High School-boys taking
work in agriculture and girls from
the teacher training classes made
up the enthusiastic group which
gathered in the Agricultural room on
Monday evening to conduct their own
meeting. The first meeting of the
organization, which fittingly calls it.
self the Country Life Club, was OF
unusual interest to the audience as
well as to those who furnished the
program. Officers elected by the
club occupied their respective chairs
and deserve much credit for the way
in which they conducted the busi-
ness.
A talk by President Stanley koe-
mig. Jokes by Dwight Wieman, reel
tation by Ruth Mason current events
by Christine Larson, and talk by
Hilda Steele, together with impromptu
talks by Miss Blanding, Mr.. Madden,
Lily Peterson and Victor Swanson
furnished varied, lively and inter-
esting program.
Strict observation of the rules OF
parliamentary practice, keep up keen
interest throughout the meeting. The
following people are holding offices in
this club: Pres. Stanley Koenig; Vice
Pres. Edwin Sagen: Sec.-Treas., Mary
Howell; Marshall, William Joanis.
The purpose of the club are to de-
velop initiative, fluency OF speech,
and the ability to express thoughts
before an audience. The young
people have no doubt made a move
in the right direction. The work is
under the direction of T. j. Madden of
the Agriculture Department and Miss
Pearl Blandipg of the Teachers Train
ing department of the Washburn High
School.

County Board Sets Aside Sum to
Provide for Monster Celebration
Celebration to be Held in This City
When All the Boys Have
Returned.

Bayfield, county intends to
show appreciation of it's people
for the service rendered by her
soldier boys in the greatest war
the world has ever known, by
providing a monster celebration
the like of which has never be-
fore been held in the county.
This was provided for by a
resolution presented to the
County Board on Tuesday by
Supervisor Ed. F. Daniels of
Iron River which provided for a
sum not to exceed $1,000 for the
purpose of providing for a fitting
celebration to be held in the city
of Washbnrn when the soldiers
have all returned home.
The resolution provided for
the appointment of a committee
to arrange for the celebration
and it will be the biggest event
of Importance ever held in Bay
field county.
Bayfield, county has sent more
than 1900 soldiers into the SER
vice during the war which has
just ended and a number of
these have laid down their lives
on the battlefieids of France
that the world might be made
safe for democracy. More than
Forty other boys have been
wounded and manned in the
great struggle, while several
have given their lives in the
training camp through disease.
It is planned to hold the cele-
bration when the boys from
overseas have all returned home
and this will probably not be un-
til some time next summer.
The resolution providing for
the celebration was passed with
out a dissenting vote, all mem
bers of the Board believing that
whatever they might do in the
way Of celebration would be
trivial compared to the credit
the boys are entitled to.

Washburn's interest in the
event was evidenced by the vast
throng which crowded the build
ing to hear the opening exer-
cises and to view the magnifi.
cent building. Because of the
immense crowd which packed
every nook and corner of the
large building it was necessary
to slightly re-arrange the pro-
gram which caused some little
delay in the opening program,
In order to make room for
grown-ups the management run

benefit of the children, and at
the finish of the film the child

greatly pleased the audience.
The presentation of the build.

by Attorney A. w. Macleod in
fine manner while the accept
ance speech for the city was
made by Nels M Oscar, both of
which gave some idea of the
purposes to whichit was the in.
tention to put the building.
The dedicatory prayer was
made by Rev. Chr. Christensen.
Following this part of the pro-
gram the film showing the sur.
render of the German feet was
run again and this was followed
by yolley ball and basket ball

ing.
The evening was spent in
viewing the building and equip

interest taken in the institution.

Edward Kosberg Returns Home from
Far-away France
Saw Action at Chateau Thierry and
Was Severely Wounded
in Action.

Edward Kosberg, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Kosberg7 of the
town of Washburn, arrived home
on Tuesday. being one OF the
first Bayfield, County boys to ar
rive from France since the sign
ing of the armistice.
Edward Kosberg was injured
in action in the great battle of
Chateau Thierry, which was the
turning point of the great war.
He was member of Company
d. 39th Infantry and 4th Div
ision and was in the big drive
when the Germans were stopped
on their way to Paris by the
Americans. In this memorable
battle young Kosberg was shot
through the leg by a machine
gun bullet and he was removed
from the field and placed in a
base hospital in France where
he remained until December IL
when he was brought to this
country on one of the first trans
ports arriving after the war
ended. Since that time he has
been receiving treatment in one
of the base hospitals in this
country and on January 9th he
was honorably discharged from
the service.
Edward still has a limp in one
leg, caused by his wound, but
he is confident that in time he
will be practically as good as
ever before despite his wound.
He was in the thick of the
fight at Chateau Thierry and he
describes 1t as one or the DlOOd-
lest battles of the entire war.
His. company continued their
triumphant march after the
battle and they are now en-
camped on the Rhine River in
Germany where they are await
ing the action of the Peace Con-
| ference. \
Young Kosberg says he is
sorry that he is not with his
company for it was his ambition
to cross into Germany with the
triumphant troops of the Allies.
