Supply of I. N. I. In Great Demand
in Bayfield, County
Many Entire Farms Would be Cleared
up if Explosive is
Available.

The Bayfield, county allotment
of INT is far from sufficient in
order to supply the demands of
the farmers. The office of Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent V. E..
Brubaker is swamped with or
dars which cannot be filled un-
less the allotment Is increased.
The results obtained from T.
N. I. are highly satisfactory &C.
cording to the farmers who have
used the explosive. More work
can be done with an equal guam
tity of T. N. T. than could be
done with dynamite and the cost
to the farmers is less than half.
Many farmers say that if they
can get the new explosive in any
quantity that they will clear up
their entire farms and this means
much to Northern Wisconsin.
The government has large
stores of T. N. Z. in the maga-
zines at Sparta and an effort is
being made to have them turn
this over to the Wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture for dis
tribution among the farmers of
the state. At the present time
the supply which was turned
over by the government amounts,
ed to 100000 pounds but the
government has millions of
pounds of 7. N. T.. on hand for
which it has no use and if turned
over to the farmers of Wiscon-
sin, would open up vast amour.
of territory.
T. N. T. at So per hundred
would prove the greatest factor
toward opening up the north
half of the state that could be
suggested.

Bayfield, county it's just share OF
the additional mileage allotted to
the state.
When the committee met ia
Madison a week ago it was de-
cided TO extend the route 13
from Bayfeid to Cornucopia but
this was not considered much
of a help to the south shore
towns except that it was the be-
ginning Of state road from
Bayfield, circling thR WITH
shore. However the infor1
is now given out officially
enough additional mileage has
been given to Blyteld county to
continue the road on to Porl

for at that hour the clocks Of
the country will be set back k to

a bill doing away with the law
and the President vetoed the
bill but it was finally passed
again over the presidents veto.

manner at the two meetings at the
Y. NC. A. Sunday at 8 p. m. and
7:45 p. m. nearly 400 hearing her.
The evening program was set with
very much happier atmosphere of
quiet on the part of the audience
than attended the meeting the Sun
day previous, owing to the new ar
rangement relative to children under
High School ages being required to
sit with their parents. The associ-
alton and committee are grateful for
the cooperation in this direction.
In view of it all, until further an
nouncement the films to be used
each Sunday evening will also be run
at 8 p. m. especially for all children
under high school age with no re-
quirement that parents be present
at this session. Of course others
may attend this program as well.
The program for next Sunday fol-
lows: Ford. Travelogue, Greedy
George, Charles Reform, Alice S
Adventure in Wonderland, Abra-
ham Sacrifice and The Last Sup
per.
In addition to it has been happily
arranged for Colonel Emanuel Rossit-
er of Superior, who was the Lieut..
Colonel of the old 9th Wise. Unit

Lieut.. Colonel of the new Northern
Wisconsin Regiment to speak at the
evening meeting relative to the local
guard organization and enlistment

Good BYE TO DAYLIGHT SAVING

insisted that the daylight saw
ing law worked a hardship to
them and because of their de-
mands for repeal of the law
it was finally repealed, but not
however, until there was big

daylight saving and as many op-
posed to the measure. Set back
your clocks Sunday morning,

Of National Guard Unit as Soon
as Possible
Nearly Enough Men Have Signed up to
Form a National Guard
Company.

A meeting was held at the
Commercial Club rooms in this
city last Saturday evening of
the men who are back of the
movement to organize a Nation
al guard company in this city.
The meeting was fairly well
attended, and it was decided
meeting to completethe organi-
cation of the company as soon
as possible and to continue per-
sonal solicitation and make a
personal canvass of those who
have already signed up.
According to reports about
half enough men required to
form a National guard company
have already signed up, many of
these being ex-service men.
1t is expected that with a little
active work that more than
enough men can be secured to
organize a company, and when
this is done the company will be
mustered into the service.
The city of Bayfield, is also en-
deavoring to organize a Nation
al Guard company to take the
place of the State Guard COM
pany. Capt. Dady is in charge
of the work of organizing the
Bayfield, company.

Trained by that master wielder OF
the baton, John Phillip Sousa, the
BOYS Of the Blue Mound Country
Club Orchestra (everyone Of whom
got into COB uniform at the begin
ming of the war and who enjoyed the
distinction of playing in the great
Lakes Band are coming to Wash
burn on Saturday, Oct. 25th, to play
for dance to be held at the Garden
Hall on Saturday night and con-
cert to be given Sunday evening.
The affair is promised as riot of
jazz. The members of the band
have been voted the very best ex-
ponents of the Jazz School of Melody
in the State of Wisconsin, or indeed,
for that matter, in the entire middle
West.
Rumor has it that when the Blue
Mound boys start to play, the most
backward are inspired with desire
to take to the floor in the mazes OF
the well-known fox-trot, one-step,
and other of the dances of the day.
Indeed, for the younger dancing set,
the gala dancing event of the season
is at hand, while those who have
passed the dancing stage, or who do
not care for that advertisement, will
ird genuine pleasure in the unusual
musical merit and novelty of the or
ca ;zation.
Touring the country as bandmen
lis nothing new in the life of the ex-
sailor musicians. Enlisting as whole
these boys kept together during late
hostilities, travelling nationwide,
playing wherever they went as a
stimulous toward promoting interest
in Liberty Loan Campaigns, Red
Cross, Y. M. c. A., Knights Of
Columbus, War Savings and other
patriotic activities.
Acknowledged one of the finest
accordian players and jazz trombonist
in the world, Frank Uyvari, a iuve-
nile genius, will accompany the jazz
band on its present dance and con-
cert tour.

Farmers. Anxious to Get in Base
ment In This Fall
Will Be the Most Modern Plant in
Northern Part of the
State.

At a meeting of the stock
holders of the Chequamegon
Cooperative Creamery company
held at the Commercial Club
rooms on Monday it was voted
to begin the building of the new
creamery plant in this city this
fall and with that end in view
the size of the building was de-
termined upon and the contract
will be let Immediately for the
construction of the foundation
and the laying out Of the site.
At a meeting of the Associ-
alton held on Friday committee
was appointed to visit other
creamery plants in this region
and to report at the Monday
meeting and the report of this
committee was read. This COM
mittee was composed of l.. +.
Kinstler and Ernest Tetzner of
the Association and County
Agent V. E Brubaker.
The committee reported that
the size of the new building
should be 80 x Is in size with a
16 x 16 wing for boiler room and
this report was adopted at the
Monday meeting and the COM
mittee was authorized to begin
thu nstAuction of the founda-
tion this fall so that the building
proper can be erected during the
spring months.
1t is the intention of the
Chequamegon Creamery Asso-
citation to erect a modern cream
cry plant. The building will oc-
cupy a site facing on Washing
ton avenue and Omaha street.
The front of the building will be
used for office rooms and cream
receiving room while the churns
and ice cream making machines
will be located in the center part
of the building. At the rear
will be the storage rooms and
the cooling plant with an alley
at the rear Of the building and
back of it will be the ice house.
Of just what material the
building is to be constructed
has not yet been determined but
as soon as plans and specifica-
tions can be completed this will
be decided. The majority OF
the patrons of the association
favor the brick and tile con-
struction and it is likely that
this type of material will be
adopted when the plans are
finally drawn.
Since the organization of the
Chequamegon Cooperative As
sociation last winter great pro-
gress has been made.

Barron Route Abandoned for Road
South of N. P. Tracks
Two Cut-Offs are Given in Order to Sat-
isfy Bayfield, County
People.

4 Hc OIdCC CSloIatifO AAiSh
way Committee has decided upon
the changes in the State and
Federal Trunk Line systems for
Bayfield, county.
Route 10, the present road
across the Barrons, is to be
abandoned entirely and a new
route substituted. This will
lead out of Ashland to Ashland
Junction and then as farg5utl
and west as the Eileen Stock
Farm on the Omaha, thence
west along the Northern Pacific
track into Iron River and on to
Superior. Practically all of this
road is new construction. Bay
field county favored the pres
ent route out of Ashland as far
as Barksdale. thence west along
the Cherryville route and thence
to Moquah and west along the
Northern Pacific. The route as
laid out by the committee will
be more direct, but will be an
expensive piece of road to build.
A new short route is to be built
connecting No. "a and the new
No. 10, This will be laid out
near Benoit and running north.
The new route 10 is also to be
connected up with Route 1S by
giving Bayfield, county a short
line running from the vicinity
of Ashland Junction to the Hos
mer corner or what is now known
as the junction route.
Route "a running from Cable
north through Bayfield, county
will join with route Ii south OF
the White river and come north
on the county line between Ash
land and Bayfield, counties.
On a whole the routesas finally
determined upon by the State
Legislative committee will be
satisfactory to Bayfield, county
people, for with the new extern
sion as granted running from
Bayfield, to Port Wing and which
will in time connect up the south
shore country with road lead
ing into Superior gives Bayfield,
county three important roads
traversing the county.
The short lines connecting up
No. "a with 10 and No. 10 with
13, all of which are within Bay
field county, ought to give the
people of the county practically
what they were asking for.
Now it will be possible for peo-
/ pie living in the south end of the
county to come north to the
Count Seat at Washburn without
Icircling around by way of Ash
land. The cut Off from "a to 10
will also permit people residing
in the central part of the county
to go west without going around
by way of Drummond or coming
north through Ashland and then
on to Iron River. The cut-otfs
are very important to Bayfield,
county and make the other
Ichanges as made satisfactory.
