T. N. T. powder will be distributed
to the farmers of Bayfield, county, be-
ginning on Sept. 18th or 14th, and
finishing as quickly as possible from
that date. At present we have
several hunderd orders more than
we can supply to our farmers, due to
the fact that our allotment has
been all taken up.
1t is the best we can do at the
present time, but we hope to get an
other allotment in the near future.
The total allotment of $4,000 lbs. has
been as equally distributed in the
different towns in the county, as we
could possibly arrange to make it.
1t was also advertised widely and
demonstrated in most of the parts of
the county where orders were re-
ceived from, so the farmers could
aquaint themselves with the best
methods of using it.
The farmers will be notified few
days ahead of time, at what points
they are to come to receive the
powder.-County Agent.

A good deal Of political dishonesty
is noticeable in the campaign, in which
Congressman who voted for the pas
sage of the Cummins- Esch railroad
law are pictured as having betrayed
the people. 1t is not strange that all
the wild-eyed radicals who have stood
for government-ownership, bolshevism
and socialism, should be found oppos-
ing Congressman on this ground, but
it is manifestly unfair that attempts
should be made to influence sane
voters by misrepresenting the trans
p0rtation act: The Cummins- -Esch
measure was as necessary to the well
fare of the country as the appropria-
ton bills for the maintenance of the
postal service, the agricultural de-
partment, road-construction, and the
maintenance Of all the regular func-
tions of the federal government.
While the European war was going
on, and before it looked as though we
would be compelled to enter it, the
President urged Congress in his mes
sages to devise legislation to strength
en- Government control of the trans
port&tion system. The Newland's
Commission was created and it con-
sisted of representatives from the
Senate and the House OF Representa-
tives. Hearings were held and every
interest in the country sent delegates
to Washington. The disturbing con-
ditions of our entry into the war pre-
vented the contemplated railroad
legislation. 1t became necessary for
the Government to take over the rail
roads and operate them throughout

United States Senator Irvine L.
Lenroot, candidate for reelection, will
deliver an address in this city on
Labor Day afternoon, according TO
arrangements made with the Senator
on Monday evening. The date and
place of the meeting will be announced
in the next issue Of the Times, but
the time of the meeting will probably
be at 2:3O in the afternoon.
United States Senator Irvine l..
Lenroot is one of the big men of the
country and there is perhaps no bet
ter speaker on National Issues in the
country today. He will have mes
sage which every voter in Washburn
and vicinity will want to hear.
Mr.. Lenroot has been making a
speaking tour throughout Wisconsin
during the past four weeks, speaking
at all of the principal cities of the
state and he has been meeting with
lllC CIlCOQl dSCillCHC S%C 1llO l1lCSCltiS .
and the present indications are that
he will be nominated and elected with
a large majority. Senator Lenroot
is one of the big men of the country
today and he has placed Wisconsin
on the map through his representa-
tions at the National Capital where
he is considered one of the leaders.
Bayfield, county has always been
solid for the Senator and will again
be solid for him in the oming pri-
mary, but the people of this city and
vicinity wanted an opportunity to
hear him discuss the issues of the pre-
sent and coming campaign and he has
consented to come here on Labor Day
to deliver an address, which no voter
should miss hearing.

period Of six months receive a
minimum return equal to the amounts
they received during federal control,
and the other a guaranty that the
employees of the roads should for
like period receive a minimum wage
equal to that which they received
under federal control. Who could
honestly object to such an arrange
ment? The guarantees were neces-
sarily backed by recourse to taxation.
1t was left to the Interstate Com
merce and the Railroad Labor Board,
both official bodies, to figure out what
the amounts Of operating the rail-
roads under the methods of Govern
ment control amounted to, and what
the amount of wages should be to
give full compensation to railroad
operatives, This has been done, and
with the help of the State Rail
road Commissions the permanent rail-
ROAD plan is Delng put into operation.
Direct taxation of the taxpayers will
be discontinued, and the rates have
been readjusted in such way as to
make the transportation system Of the
country self-supportingy like any
other legitimate business.
The whole proceeding has been one
commencing itself as the most
efficient and constructive legislation
known in many years. Every man
in Congress who helped to put this
legislation through is entitled to
praise for the achievement, and
nothing but ignorance Or dishonesty
can hold up the Cummins-Esch act
to the public view in any other light.

1t will not be necessary for the
women Of Bayfield, county to register
in order to vote at the September
primaries fthe Secretary of State
Colby certifies the amendment, ac-
cording to announcement of District
Attorney G. F. Morris. There is no
voting precinct in Bayfield,. county
requiring registration and any wo-
man who is duly qualified to vote
can do so without first registering.
The communication from Mr..
Morris is as follows:
Washburn, Wis.,, Aug. 25, 1920.
Gentlemen:
The Smith News Bureau of Mil
waukee has sent out othe press in
this state the following statement:
"The Harding Coolidge Club,
through it's women's committee,
urges every Republican woman to
register August 31%. Women can
not vote unless they register. This
campaign to get the women to
register follows Tennesse's ratifica-
ton OF suffrage, certified by Cover
nor A. HI. Roberts on Tuesday"
For the benefit of the women of
bayfield, county, l wish to say that
they are not required to register, as
the registration laws do NOT annlv
in any of the voting precincts of
Bayfield, county.
If the Secretary of State receives

Legislature, and certifies the amend
ment, the women of Bayfield, coun-
ty will be entitled to vote on Sep

Select Advisory Board

At meetings held at the Y. M. c. A.
last Friday evening an advisory
Board was selected for Bayfield, coun-
ty, with the following officers: Chair
man C. E. Hulten, Vice Chairman
Frank W. Downs, Treasurer Roy
Markham, Secretary Amos M. Han
sen, Directors Judge Axelberg, DIR.
Axley, A. W.MacLeod and w. A.
Robinson.
The Home Service Department of
the Salvation Army has started a
campaign in the United States to
curb unrest at its source, prevention
of social ills, to stop duplication of
service and to make existing mach
inery of the army meet the present
day issues and the purpose of the local
advisory Board is to bring cases to
the attention of the Army head
quarters so that it may have their at
tention.
Each community is to be the Judge
of the service needed at home and
this information will be given to the
State Board who will set that condi-
tions are met and services brought
where they are most needed.
Th Salvation Army has ever waged
its battle in the very front lines, or
more correctly speaking, the last line
of defenses. It's trenches have been
dug in the streets Of property and the
fight for humanity has been made
when the enemy was reinforced by
want, vice, disease and despair.
Efforts have necessarily been devoted
in large measure to ministering to
those who have already been danger
ously if not mortally wounded in life's
encounter. The function of the
Army has been and will continue to be
one of alleviating distress and sorrow
"A Man May Be Down but He is
Never Out" will remain the slogan
But 1T is the hope of all fthe officers
everywhere that the new program will
tend to prevention" rather than
cure" and that the man, boy, or girl
may not always come to them down
The first step in the new program
calls for the selection of an influential
advisory board in every county OF
the state; men who represent the best
civic and community interests without
references to denominational or re.
ligious affiliations. The members OF
this board will be accredited repre-.
sentatives of the Salvation Army il
the county and will be known as the
Salvation Army Advisory Board.

the war. Had the Newland' Com
mission been organized a year earlier
it would likely have framed legislation
that would have:made the government
operation of the roads unnecessary.
When the war closed chaos was ram
pant, and the Government found itself
running the lines at a tremendous
loss, which could only be made good
by taxation imposed upon the coun-
try.
At this point the President again
appealed to Congress, and both houses
held extensive hearings. 1t seemed
as though everyone in the ountry
who ever had anything to do with a
railroad appeared in Washington to
tell the Cummins committee of the
Senate and the Esch committee of the
House how to solve the Transportation
problem. After months of the most
intensive study of the situation by
practitally every Democratic and Re-
publican member Of the two Houses
the necessary law for restoring the
lines to their owners was finally pass
ed. Theprevailing spirit in Congress
all the way through was to prevent
the railroad from getting more than
was right, while protecting at the
same time every interest of the people
of the country against the surrender
of any principle, particularly with
regard to the recognized right of the
Government to exercise full control
over the entire transportation system
of the country. The final measure,
as passed, contained exactly two
guarantees: One a guaranty that
the owners of the railroads should for

''Baby Talk"
(Ry the County Nurse)

(By the county Nurse
The old and most pernicious idea
that a certain. amount of illness is
the necessary accompaniment OF in
FAINT life is happily fast dying. With
the constant increase, in the know
ledge of the conditions that lead to
sickness among children, it should be
the aim Of all intelligent mothers to
learn how to save her children from
needless illness.
1t is said that nine-tenths of all in
FAINT illness is. due to- improper feed
ing. Whether this is the exact pro-
portion or not, it is quite certain that
many babies unnecessarily from mis-
takes in diet, and it is in this field that
the intelligence of the mother is of
the greatest value. Babies are
usually born healthy, and if they are
properly fed and given hygienic care
in other respects and allowed to
develop in a natural, normal way,
there is little reason why they should
be sick, and the responsibility for
this rests upon the parents.
Diarrhea
As this is the time of year when
babies and older children as well are
likely to have this trouble, discus
sion of it may be of value.
The normal healthy baby usually
has one or two stools day. If the
number increases to four or more the
mother should be on her guard against
diarrhea, Diarrhea is a symptom of
NEARLY all the disturbances of diges-
tion in infancy, both fthe mild and
Of the severe types. The doctor
should be consulted at once If pos
sible, for even a light attack of diarr-
hea, unless correctly treated, may lead
to a severe disturbance such as
cholera h,fantum. Diarrhea Is far
more frequent In summer than in
winter. This is chiefly because the
baby Is directly affected by the hot
weather so that he Ia more easily up
set by his food. Therefore In hot
summer weather all babies, and es-
pecially bottle-sed babies, should re-
ceive especial care. They should be
kept as cool as possible. They should
be outdoors except when 1t is cooler
indoors; all unnecessary clothes
should be removed, band and diaper
being sufficient clothing; frequent
