Red Ramhlers Soon.
The red ramblers will soon be in
full bloom and right eagerly are they
watched for, each year, not only by
those persons who are the proud pos
SCISSORS of one or two of these climb
ing roses but by those not so fortunate
but who nevertheless admire them e8-
tensively. The city and country
around will soon be literally aglow
with these small roses scattered about
on trellises, on porches, fences and
arbors, as there are thousands Of them
cultivated in this town and environs.
There are few things more beautiful
than red rambler literally borne
down with its wealth of bloom. In
no more advantageous place in the
city are they displayed than at Fair
mont Farms where hundreds of them
adorn the iron fence which encloses
the property. They grow there in pro-
fusion and are the admiration of the
country around Here they trail over
the gate at the main entrance to the
residence and make sight than
which there is none prettier.
Recently there has sprung up rival
for the red rambler in the shape of the

judgment there is nothing in the shape

CAPTAIN Alfred Swanby Home After
Nearly 5, Years Of Service
Was One Of Two Surviving Members Of
a Battalion Of Canadian
Troops.

To go through nearly five
years of the greatest war the
world has ever known and to
have been wounded three times
and have twelve wound scars
and to have been gassed SO many
times that he is unable to re-
mem Der the number, and then
live and return home is the wide
experience of Captain Afr, d
Swanby, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hans P. Swanby of this city, /,
who returned home on Monday
of this week.
Captain Swanby, who at the
present time is but twentyrsix
years of age, enlisted with the
first Canadian troops and was a
member of the .2nd Canadian
Battalion, which crossed the
ocean to give the Huns battle
during the summer OF 1914. For
nearly rive long years he fought
the Hum. and at many times
the war seemed to be going
against the Allies, but he stuck
to the finish and saw the defeat
of the enemy. Only one other
member of Swanby's original
battalion was lucky enough to
escape the ravages OF war, be-
ing a Scotchman by the name OF
McGregor. who is now in far
away Alaska.
Alfred Swanby, who was a
former Washburn High School
foot ball star, enlisted as pri.
vate and held every office from
that to Captain which position
he was holding when the armis.
tice was signed last November.
He was in all of the big battles
of the great war and at one time
was shot through the body, the
bullet barely missing the heart.
but each time he recovered from
his wounds and went back to
the task again of defeating she
enemy.
He is still in the reserve list
of the Canadian army but he has
come home to forget what he
can of the.las five years Of his
life for he says war is all that
Grant saidit was and then some.
The experiences Captain
Swanby has gone through dur
ing the last five years would fill
a mighty big book. if written,
for he saw the great war at it's
worst when the Germans first
turned on their poison gas when
the Allied troops were unpre-
pared to receive it, and when
men dropped over like so many
flies, when the gas turned the
gas turned the rifles useless and
when the troops faced the enemy
with only their bayonets as
weapons of defense.
He was still lighting when the
battle turned in favor of the
Allied troops and he was still q
it when the great war ended
He gave the best there was in
him for the cause OF democracy
and he has now returned homs
to forget and recuperate his
health.
His is an experience of bu'
few men.

MONSTER ATTENDANCE EXPECTED
At THE BAYFIELD, COUNTY FAIR
FAIR TO BE 1HUMDINcER'
Will Surpass All Previous Years in
Every Respect.

Northern Wisconsin's great Fail
and educational exhibit which opens
i'm Chippewa Falls, Sept. Is, and
lasts for five days, promises to be
bigger and better than ever in the
history of the association.
Inquiries and requests for space
from all over the state are beginning
to pour into the secretary office end
from outlooks there will be exhibits
galore. The excessively fine crops
il. this portion of the state this year
will make agricultural display finer
than ever and exhibitors will have q
chance to display their products to
the many thousands of people. $l4,-
600 will be given in premiums.
One of the real features of this
years Fair vii be the fine machinery
exhibition. The Directors have
found it necessary to allow much
more space for the display of ma
chinery. Some OF the largest manu-
tacturers of the nation will show their
goods at our 1919 Fair. We advise
all farmers to call and see the latest
conveniences on the market in the
way of farm implements. Time has
grown to be matter for farmers to
look to and the time saving imple-
ments manufactured and improved
upon each year are not to be over
looked in these busy days. The free
attractions in front of the grand stand
afternoons and evenings for the en-
tire week will be the talk of the
Fair. These acts are playing all the
largest State Fairs and score big.
The Association has not stopped at
any expense in obtaining the very
best acts possible, and have some
thing new and something different.
The Speed program has been pre-
pared with view of giving horses OF
all records an entry and the daily
program arranged SO that inserest in
the events will be maintained to the
last race. The fastest string OF
horses on the circuit will be entered
here. The sum of $4,000 will be
given in pnrses.
Indications point to banner year
for the livestock exhibit. More
and better live stock is being brought
into Northern Wisconsin and there is
no better place to gauge the progress
being made in this section than at
the Northern Wisconsin State Fair.
Many prize herds of live stock and
poultry from the State Fairs sol
Minnesota and Wisconsin will be
seen on the grounds and these de-
partments will surely please all in
terested in pure live stock.

Anticipating that they will be
able to turn over the County
tuberculosis Sanitorium near
Bays ED much sooner than was
believed possible earlier in the
year, the Tri-C County Committee,
in conjunction with various
physicians of Chequamegon Bay
is working out detailed plans for
Ashland, Bayfield, and
Iron counties of both incipient
and developed cases of tubercu-
losis. In connection with these
plans it is hoped that examina-
tions of men rejected by the
draft boards and the canvassing
boards Of the three counties,
wilt be possible.
The doctors, who have this
matter almost entirely in their
own hands, are now planning on
the holding of a free clinic with
in month or so, and at this
clinic, all those who desire ex-
aminations will be accommo-
dated at certain specified
periods. 4 T
Along with this work it is the
intention of the committee to
carry on an active campaign of
education.
The committee points out the
fact particularly that the disease
in it's incipient or early stages,
may easily be stamped out en-
tirely with proper care, and thus
eliminating any possibility Of
future suffering on the part OF
the victim.
An appeal will be made to
citizens of the three counties to
lend their enthusiastic support
to the movement. as a matter OF
the public's health, and of vital
to every family.

provided at "Pureair" (the name
