On Saturday morning COM
plete change in the program had
to be made and instead OF the
sham battle and digging in
contest" athletic events had to
be substituted. Many of the
boys who have braved the shells
and poison gas on the battlefields
felt more timid in appearing be-
fore their home people and for
this reason the military events
which had been scheduled had
to be withdrawn and athletic
events substituted. In the after
noon there was base ball game
played between two teams OF
returned soldiers representing
tbs Bayfield, and Washburn dis
tricts, the game being won by
Washburn. A second game was
played Sunday afternoon and
resulted In the same way. The
formal guard mount put on by
soldiers and officers after the
bail game was a beautiful affair.
The Sunday morning program
held at the Court House was.a
beautiful service. Music was
rendered by the two bands anu
hymns were sung by a combined
church<chorus. Addresses were
delivered by Rev. Waters and
FIR. Hyacinth. The addresses
were fine as was the singing.
On Sunday afternoon picnic
was held on the lake shore near
the pumping station and this
was attended by more than one
thousand people representing
every section of the county.
The street dances on Friday
and Saturday evenings proved
to be great drawing cards and
there never was a dance held IN
this region that attracted more
people. The dance was held on
the brick pavement at the inter-
section of Bayfield, street and
Washington avenue. Around
the square Japanese lanterns
were hung. Thousands of peo-
pie young and old danced to the
music Of the two bands.
Every part of Bayfield, county
was represented at the cele'
bration, the largest number
coming from Iron River from
which a special train was run in
order to accommodate tae
crowds.
1t was a celebration such as
will long be remembered by
everyone. One disappointment
was the failure of the Honor
badges to arrive in time for
presentation. Every Bayfield,
county soldier is entitled to one
and if he will send his name to
the County Clerk they will be
mailed when they arrive.

BAYFIELD, County Gives Her Boys Royal lime Men
in Uniform Housed and Fed
While in the City.

The soldiers and sailors OF
BAYFIELD, county who were in the
service of the United States
during the world war are OF one
accord in their praise for the
celebration which was given IN
their honor in Washburn during
Friday, Saturday and Sunday OF
last week.
The celebration was given by
BAYFIELD, county and her citizens
in recognition of the faithful
services performed by her boys
in the recent war and it was a
royal homecoming and welcome
to the boys in kahki and blue
who left their homes and every
thing else dear to them to night
in a foreign land that the world
might be made safe for democ-
racy, and had returned again
after having finished their job
in defeating the enemy and
bringing home the victory for
which the other allies had
strived so hard since 1914.
Bayfield, county had more than
I1z0O boys in the service and OF
this number more than SIX hun
dred were in Washburn to at
tend the celebration and we have
vet to hear of one that was no'
royalty entertained.
The celebration was provided
for by the county board OF Bay
field county and was left in the
hands of a committee of three
who were ably assisted by local
people in planning the big time
On Thursday evening tne
Rice Lake Band arrived on the
late train and they were met Dy
bunch of local boosters and es'
courted from the train and 9
march was had down bayfield,
street at the midnight hour.
Next morning the soldiers and
sailors began arriving from
every part of Bayfield, county
and MANY also came from ad-

soldiers and as the boys in kahk
and blue came to town they
were escorted to this place W1ers
they were assigned to rooms
provided for by the goot
people of Washburn wlthou

big factor in caring for the boys
and civilians. The Y provided
rest rooms, free showers, free
pool and billiards, correspond
ence facilities. checking of par
cells and packages, free drinks,
and hundred and one other
things for the boys and many of
them made this their headquar-
ters during their stay in the city.
Asst. Secretary Oistad was on
the job night and day caring for
the people and the Y was one of
the busiest places in the city.
The program began on Friday
afternoon with the military
parade. Hundreds Of heroes of
the world war joined the parade
and the sight of them marching
together was very impressive
and inspiring one and brought
forth cheers from the people
lining the street. Not as many
soldiers as were in.the city were
in the line of march, some of
them preferring TO remain on
the side lines and watch the
others march.
The Bayfield, County Red
Cross Chapters were well repre-
sented and formed an important
part of the parade. Every chap
ter in the county was represent
ed by adelegate carrying a ban
ner.
Next came the service flag
bearers from many of the towns
Of the county and then the Boy
Scouts and many beautiful floats.
The Bayfield, County Band and
Rice Lake Band furnished the
music.
The streets Of the city were
beautifully decorated for the
parade. The county decorations
consisted of lamp post designs
arranged by C. w. Stimble and
the decorations by the business
men consisted of four beautiful
arches, arranged by j. P. Jacob
son. The individual decorations
by the business men arranged
by Amos M. Hansen were the
most beautiful ever seen in the
city and consisted of flags and
drapes which were hung from
almost every building. The
court house decorations arranged
by the Committee on Public
buildings and Grounds of the
County Board were most beautl-
full.
Immediately following the
parade a program was held at
the Court House. Selections
were played by the Rice Lake
and Washburn Bands and songs
were sung by the Ladies Chorus
An address of welcome was de-
livered by County Attorney G,
F. Morris. Mr.. Morris delivered
the farewell address to the boys
as they were leaving for the
battlefields and he also delivered
the address of welcome upon
their return and it was a beanti'
full tribute to the heroes. he
sponses were made by Captains
/ Mertens and Peavey OF Wash
burn and Paul Evenstad OF lror
River. The responses were
:. very fine and showed how the
boys appreciated what was be
ing done for them.
