Of This Vicinity.

The Community picnic given

that has ever been held and
thousands of people from the
ltowns of Barksdale, Washburr
and Bayview. as well as many
visitors from neighborlng towns
ATTENDED.
The site selected for the pic
mic was a very desirable one,
being centrally located along the
lake shore among the trees al
the Kinney farm. During the
morning hours throngs OF peo-
pie began, arriving and atlnoon q
picnic dinner was served tc
those in attendance.
During the afternoon a pro-
gram was held at which Prof.
Delwiche, superintendent of the
State Experimental Farm at
Ashland junction talked on fall
grains and Prof. r. E. Jones OF
1.-THE University OF Wisconsin
talked on farm drainage. The
farmers were much interested
lin these subjects as the dis
cussion following indicated.
The most interesting part OF
the program however, proved to
be the demonstration of stump
blaating with INT powder. The
farmers OF this vicinity have all
Iheard much of TINT for it was
man nufactnred by the millions OF
pounds monthly at the Barks-
dale plant, of the Dupont com
PIANO and was used SO success

outof France.
The farmers knew it's value
for war purposes but few OF
them had any idea of its value as
a stump blasting material and
this was the part of the demon.

The Lokal Anzeiger urged the Ger
man people to receive the treaty with
stoicism.
The most violent article appeared in
Deutsche Zeitung, which declared:
"A peace Of violence has been
signed at Versailles. Germany's
honor has been buried. Only incessant
toll will enable us to regain our place
among the nations of the world. Then
will come revenge for the disgrace OF
1919"
The paper was suppressed by the

Much speculation was indulged in
today as to how the allies would re-
ceive the appeal of Dr. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg that he be tried instead OF
the former kaiser. for the response
bility of causing the war.
"As imperial chancellor" wrote
Hollweg, II will bear the sole respon-
sibility for the political acts of the
kaiser. | hereby place myself at the.
disposal of the allies and associated
powers"
The former chancellor wished to
present himself as a scapegoat on May
90 but refrained at the request of the
government.
Indications today were that the
strike crisis had passed. With the
governments promise TO devote bill
lion and a half marks in the next three
months toward lowering the cost OF
