Pay the Postal Employees.

Under this caption the follow
ing editorial appeared in the
Chicago tribune Of recent date;
'sOur extreme thrift iu deaf
Ing with postal employees is
likely to be al invitation to re-
action. An almost incompre-
hensiole loyalty to postal SER
vice, an admirable esprit, has
held together this surprising
organization in spite OF low
wages, while almost every other
kind of human endeavof has
found increased rewards. The
most loyal have been least re-
warded.
"rhe postal employees cannot
go on forever bucking the 100
per cent line of resistance with
10 per cent of energy. They
and their families cannot live on
organ zttion. They must have
good food, good clothing and
good roofs. Because they have
thus Tar restrained themselves
by exercise Of politeness and
temperate manner, it does not
follow that in hardship they will
continue to be mild and will con
sinue to put their trust in gov
ernment bene6cence.
"i'he postal employees SHOULD
nave increased pay now, now,
before some sophisticated radi
cal creates a disturbance in the
postal organic .ti0n now, before
we lind ourselves twiddling our

wondering why it is that under

Make a Guess

What will the 1920 United
Slates census show the popu-
latieE Of Washburn to be? ibis
is 5 question on which many
people are guessing at the pres
ent time and the guesses run all
the way from 1000 to 5000. It
is safe to say The number will
be somewhere between. The
1910 census gave Washburn .
population Of $3.50 people, and
In 1918 it is estimated that there
were more shan 1000 people in
the city. This was during the
time thousands of men were en-
ployed at the munitions plant
and since that time there has
been heavy dropping off again.
10 the person making the
closest guess the Times will
give one years subscription to
the paper. Make guess.

SAVING PLAN is
GAINING MUCH SUPPORT
A Dandy report

L. T. larson. proprietor Of the
Washburn Bakery, has reasons
to feel highly gratified over a
report which he has just re-
ceived from the Chemists for
the Fleischman Yeast Company
in which they pronounce the
bread which he is now making
to be excellent in every pasticu-
laran offer no recommendations
for its improvement.
1t has been Mr.. Larson's desire
to manufacture the very best
bread possible to bake and with
this view in mind he has had
frequent tests made of his bread
by noted chemistsin an endeavor
to improve its quality to the
highest standard.
Recently he had another test
made and report Of this test is
being. published in an ADVERTISE
ment in this weeks issue. which
everyone should read.
The Washburn bakery is a
Washburn institution and is
deserving of the support Of
Washburn people, for no cleaner
bakery is to be found in this
part of the state. Insist on be-
ing furnished Washburn Bread
which comes wrapped in sanitary
paper under the label Of Lar
sons Blue Ribbon bread. You
are thus helping to build up a
Washburn industry.

Hundreds of Cities Throughout
Country Adopting Ordinances
Washburn Industrial Institutions Favor
the Plan. Council Invited
-, -.
to Take Action.

The agitation in favor of. the
daylight saving plan for the city
of Eashburn is gaining much,
support and a good many people
who had not given the matter
much attention until this time
are now coming out as favoring
the proposition.
A canvass of the industrial
plants of the city and at Barks-.
dale show that the employees as
we'll as the managers Of these
institutions favor the plan
whereby the city council can pass
an ordinance providing for day.
light saving during the summer
months
Washburn is not the only city
in the country where this plan
is being advocated for hundreds
of cities throughout the country
have already adopted the plan
and hundreds of other cities
have the matter up for dis
cussion.
The city council of Duluth is
being petitioned for the daylight
saving bill and there are strong
indications that it will pass.
Up in this north country the
people became accustomed to
the daylight saving plan while
thesTgal ssas in progress and
liked it so well that almost
everyone was disappointedw1en
Congress passed the bill repeal
ing the law after the President
had vetoed the measure.
The daylight saving plan can
be put into effect locally without
any interference whatever be-
cause of the fact that the plan is
not nation wide measure, by
simply going to work one.houf
ahead of time during the time
from May 18th to October 18th.
Daylight saving will give peo-
pie an extra hour of daylight in
which to enjoy the pleasant sum-
mer weather of this locality and
we believe the City Council Will
be making good move if they
pass such an ordinance.

Wisconsin Couples Married Out Of
State May Have to Remarry
Milwaukee Judge Holds that Wife 50
Married Cannot Claim Interest
in Property.

The question Of whether or
mot Wisconsin parties married
outside of the state who are now
domiciled in the state have been
legally married seems to be a
perplexing question and during
the past few weeks the County
Clerk has received so many in
Quiries regarding this question
that he has taken the matter up
with the Attorney General for
the State, who seems to be as
much in doubt as anyone and it
is likely that the State Supreme
Court will be asked to give an
opinion on the law.
Judge Gehrz Of Milwaukee has
held that such marriages are
legal while Judge Reid of Wau-
sau and Judge Higbee of La
Crosse have held to the contrary. !.
In a case tried in Milwaukee the
past week where the husband of
woman so married had died
and left his property to his wife
the Judge set aside the will and
declared that the marriage was
illegal and the wife was not en-
titled to a share in the property.
Attorney General Blaine in
writing to County Clerk Oscar
stated as follows:
Our Supreme couft has not
passed directly on the question.
This is the status of the law at
the present time, and unless
parties want to take a chance
with respect to their status un-
til the Supreme court passes on
the question, it certainly would
be advisable for them to be re-
married in this state under the
state laws, going through the
same procedure as though they
had not entered into the former
marriage in another state. ["
