SNOW DOES NOT INTERFERE
WITH TRAVEL
Hunters Going Into the Northern Part
of Bayfield, County Will Have No
Difficulty in Getting Through With
Cars.

Unless snow comes in the next few
DAYS hunters who intend hunting in
the northern part of Bayfield, county
will have no trouble getting to their
camps by automobile. The roads
are now in good shape, there being
an average of from four to six inches
of snow along the entire distance,
but this is now well packed on the
roads and makes clear sailing.
Reports had become quite generally
circulated about the city the first Of
the week to the EJECT that the roads
across the Barrons were impossible
on account of Tie heavy drifts Of
snow, but this rcrort appears to be
wrong:
A Times man, in company With
others, made the trip from Washhu.n
to Port Wing on Wednesday, going by
way Of Barrons to Cornucopia and
thence along Route 13 to Port Wing
At only one point along the entire
distance was there snow enough to
hinder travel and this was on the
Barrons on one of the cut-offs for a
distance of about two hundred feet
but road had been broken around
this which make good sailing.
The roads are not rough and trave
is as good could be expected al
this time of the year.

WOODS TO BE FILLED WITH
HUNTERS
Snow West of Town Interfering
With Travel by Auto to the Hunt
ing Grounds but is Not Interfere
ing With Hunters Going Out.

For the next Ten days the woods
of Bayfield, county will resemble the
battle fields Of France, so far as the
amount Of cannonading is concerned,
for during the last ten days of No
vember the open season for deer will
be on and thousands of hunters will
be in the woods in quest of game.
This year the one buck law is in
force, which prohibits the killing of
all deer except bucks with three
inch horns or longer, and this is
going to make hunting more difficult
but is, not retarding hunters from
entering the woods which is
evidenced by the records in the Office
Of County Clerk Nels Oscar where
more. than two thousand hunting IL
censes have already been issued. In
addition to the number of local Bay
field county hunters thousands of
hunters from other sections of the
state come into this county during
the open season and with this large
army Of hunters j nthe woods armed
with high power rifles and firiIg pro-
miscuously it is going to be extreme
ly dangerous to be in the woods with
out the disguise which includes cloth
ing of bright colors.
Deer are said to be plentiful in
the woods this season but che fact
that only buck deer can be killed is
going to make the task of bringing
''Home the bacon" more difficult.
Hunters as rule will observe the
law will refrain from killing does and
fawns for unless this is done there
will be closed season throughout the
state.
Last year with the 0pe season
large number Of deer were killed and
during the past summer the Conser-
vation Commission held hearings
throughout the state to determine the
advisability Of closing the season
entirely, but sentimnt throughout the
state seemed to be in favor Of the
one buck law and this will be tried
by the Commission this season.
This year deer tag consists of
metal strip similar to the seal used
on box cars. This must be attach
ed to the hook joint of the deer and
after it is once used cannot be OPEN
ed again. Damaged tags will make
the game subject to confscation by
the game warden.

''Take 1t From Me" Brilliant Musical
Comedy at Royal, Ashland,
Monday, Nov. 20.

"Take It From Me-" which is COM
ing to the Royal Theatre, Ashland,
on Monday, Nov. 29th, for ore weeks
engagement, is creation of tune
full, jingling musical numbers and
numerous mirth-makine situations.
If you want to laugh or to hear a
really good song, or prefer to wit
ness an eye pleasing spectacle,
"Take 1t From Me-" will satisfy the
desire.
I The piece is full of action and is
as cleverly staged as the ingenuity
Of a master producers mind could
devise. The comicalities are all
clean and wholesome and are admir-
ably brought out by the exceptional
ly clever cast of players. 1t is a
radical departure from what has
generally been known as musical
comedy, for the muscial numbers,
instead of detracting from the theme,
add to it, and "song cues" are un-
known.
Three young men attempt to wreck
department store in year by re-
sorting to the most ridiculous ex-
cesses. One of them has spent $780,
600 left by his uncle, whereupon he
is notified he must take over the
store and conduct it successfully for
a year, in which event millions will
be his reward. The manager of the
store has framed things in such a
manner that, in his opinion, the boy
cannot succeed which causes the
youth to decide to wreck the busi-
ness. But the strangest part Of it
is the store succeeds in spite of the
door-walkers being put on roller
skates; the imported gowns depart
mcnt being given over to the use Of
a "movie-vamp" for picture work,
and the sales girls being given roof
garden for dancing.
The prices are $1.e0 to $3.50, plus
war tax. Seat sale starts. Nov.
25th. Mail order now.
