Returns from Market

Jake Segal Of the Segal Dry
Goods company returned yes
terday morning from the mar
kets at Chicago and the Twin
Cities where he has been en-
deavoring to purchase a line OF
fall and winter goods for his
store in this city. Mr.. Segal
says that the markets were
flooded with buyers from all
parts of the country and that
goods were hard to obtain at
any prices but that he was able
to secure q few nice lines. He
says that conditions in the mar
kets are the worst they have
been in years and that buyers
are simply falling over them
selves to obtain goods. Many OF
the larger firms are entirely out
of goods for fall delivery and
spring orders are being taken
subject to obtaining the raw ma.
terials.
He says that prices being
charged in Washburn today for
goods are even below the whole
sale prices in a large number
Of instances.

He Gummed the Cards

Editors have their troubles. One
of these who presides over the des.
tinies of western newspaper is
mourning the loss Of two subscribers.
One wrote asking how to raise his
twins safely, while the other wanted
to know how to rid his orchard of
grasshoppers. The answers went for
ward by mail, but By accident the
editor put them into the wrong Gu
velopes, SO that the man with the
twins received this answe:
Cover them carefully with straw
and set fire to it, and then the little
pests, after jumping in the flames
for few minutes, will be speedily
settled" And the other man with
grasshoppers was told to give castor
oil and rub their gums with bone.

The County and State Road
Commission is going to make
a determined effort to stop the
practice of destroying road
signs along the State Trunk
line system and in order To gain
information that will lead to the
arrest and conviction of the
guilty parties they are offering
a reward of $1,000.
It appears that some person
or persons have been shooting
these road signs full OF holes
and making them valueless for
signs or danger warnings lead
ing to the approach Of railroad
tracks and the practice must be
stopped.
The County and State author
tiles are also after the persons
who are throwing glass and
other dangerous materials in
the roads and are offering like
reward for infor % alton that will
lead to the arrest and conviction
of these parties.

Gently drove an axe, with the

Community Affair for Farmers OF
Three Towns
To Be Held at the Kinney Grove Below
City Next Sunday. DemOnstra-
tiOn in Connection.

If fair weather is at hand next
Sunday the Community Picnic
to given by the farmers of the
towns of Washburn, Barksdale
and Bayview at the Kinney
Grove, about a half mile below
the box factory on the Ashland
road, will be the biggest affair
of the kind ever held in this
region for interest in the picnic
and the demonstration which
will be held in connection is
becoming very keen.
At meeting held in this city
last week committees were ap-
pointed to arrange for the picnic
and they have their program all
in readiness and it will include
a big picnic, program and a
demonstration of I. N. T..
powder.
A general invitation has been
extended to the farmers and
their families of the three towns
and an invitation is also extend
ed to the people of the city to
attend and make it one of the
biggest times which has been
held in this region.
Those attending the picnic
will be expected to bring their
own lunch baskets well filled
with lunch, while soft drinks
and ice.cream and other things
to eat will probably be furnished
at stands erected for the pur-
pose.
During the afternoon an ex-
pert from the University will
give a demonstration of the
value of T. N. T. as a stump ex-
plosive. 10000 pounds of this
explosive has been allotted to
the farmers of Bayfield, county
and will be sold at actual cost
which is about half the price of
dynamite. At this demonstra-
tion the powder will be demon
strated and a lecture will also
be given on its uses.
Many farmers are interested
in this demonstration and this
feature alone will draw large
numbers. The powder which
was used so effectually to blow
the Germans out of France is
now being put to use in clearing
Wisconsin farms of stumps and
at a cost far below that of other
explosives.
