....BAYFIELD, Wis., When. Mrs.
Emma Birmingham left Bayfield, for
California, accompanying her husband
Verne, in the custody of the Sheriff
from San Diego, CAL, and charged
with statutory crime, she told Bar
ningham's parents that she would
help support the unborn child Of her
husbands alleged affinity
Although she did not Claim her
husband to be innocent of the charge,
she did say she would stick by him no
matter what happeued, and that some
California girls have adopted this
way of making easy money.
Birmingham was arrested by Police
Chief j. B. McLucas, at the farm of
his parents, three miles from here
about week ago, on complaint of a
woman in a San Diego maternity
hospital.
When the Bayfield, county sheriff
took Birmingham to Washburn, coun-
ty seat, and lodged him in the jail
there, until an officer from the Cali
fornia city arrived, Mrs. Birmingham
would not be comforted until she
was allowed to see her husband.
1If they take you back to Califor-
nia," she said, ''I1l go back with you
and I'll help you fight your battles y
Mr.. and Mrs. Birmingham had been
at the farm Of the formers parents
about three months, having come
there dirct from San Diego before he
was arrested.
Police Chief McLucas said today
that a brother of Birmingham had
told him his wife already had ar
ranged to help care for the child
of the other woman, whose name is
unknown in Bayfield,.

CROPS LOOKING FINE

According TO reports from every
section of Bayfield, county the crops
are looking exceptionally fine for this
time of the year and the indications
are that the yield will be heavy.
The grain crop is exceptionally
fine and some bumper yields are ex-
pected with oats running from fifty
to seventy-five bushels to the acre,
The wheat crop is also encouraging
and the heads are fast filling out and
there is no indication of rust any
where. So far the blight which hit
the potato crop SO hard a year ago,
has not put in its appearance, al
though southern Wisconsin has been
hard hit.
With the prevailing high prices
Bayfield, county farmers ought to
do well this season.

CITY COUNCIL TO APPROPRIA11 :
SUM OF MONEY.
Other Adjoining Towns Also to be
Asked to Make Donations Toward
Market Place for Farmers and for
Place to Stable Horses. ----

President Frank Dilree and Secre-
tary Ernest Tetzner of the Farmers
Co. Operative Creamery Association
appeared before the City Council at
their meeting on Tuesday evening
and asked that the Council appro-
pirate sum of money, which will
be used with money to be appropriat-
ed by the three adjoining towns, to
establish farmers market place and
staple room for horses in this city.
The council members looked very fav-
orably on The proposition and offered
to appropriate sum of money of
not to exceed five hundred dollars to
be used for this purpose with the
understanding that the three adjoin-
ing towns would also make appro-
priations enough to cover the cost.
It is planned to estaplish a market
place for the farmers on the lots of
the creamery association located on
Washington avenue and Omaha st.
and to have regular market days and
marketing place where the farmer
can bring the produce of the farm
which he has to offer for sale.
These farmers markets have been
tried out at numerous places through
out the country and have proven a
great success, and business men en-
courage them.
With hustling fellows like Dilree
and Tetzner back of the proposition
and with as fine bunch of farmers
as we have in this vicinity the mar
ket will be a success.

BERRIEs NOT PLENTIFUL

During the past two weeks large
numbers of people have been in the
blueberry fields in this part OF Bay
field county harvesting the blueberry
crop. The berries are rot as plenti-
full as they were last season. and are
to be found in scattering places, but
what fruit is being brought to the
city is of good quality.
The raspberry crop is also some
what lighter than it was a year ago
and as resul. prices have remained
high.

Washburn subscribers of the SER
vice of the Wisconsin Telephone COM
pany in this city are due for another
boost in rates if the company is able
to convince the Wisconsin Railway
Commission that such raise is nec-
essary, this being in addition to the
raise which was granted at the time
the property of the Bayfield, County
Telephone Company was taken over
by the Wisconsin company.
Mr.. P. j. Slolsky of Eau Claire,
district manager, and E. Schultneis.
local manager, made a round of the
business places the latter part of last
week and several of the local busi-
ness men signed the petition for the
increase, which will be presented to
the Commission. A number of those
interviewed refused to sign tn Pc
tition, believing that if the Wiscon-
sin company could afford to stand a
loss while they had competition, and
without a word of complaint, that
without competition and with the in
crease in rates which was granted
less than six months ago, or after the
merger which eliminated competition,
that they should be satisfied for the
time being, at least.
When the merger was made last
year Washburn was not represented
at the hearing, but an Ashland at
torney stated that he had been in
formed by the Commercias Club of
Washburn that there would be no
objection to the merger and the raise
in rates Mr.. Skolsky lays his cards
al on the table now and says that
the phone business in Washburn is a
losing proposition at the sTesshS
rates and that by the raise the COM
pany hopes to at least break even.
The rates proposed for Washburn
would make the one party business
phone cost $3.50 per month, two par
ty business $500 per month, one par
ty residence $500, two party resi-
dence $1.75 and four party residence
$1.65 per month.
When Washburn had the two tele-
phone companies the Bell people fur
nished residence phones for 75c per
month and business phones for $500
per month but they now admit that
this was losing proposition and was
only done because of the competition
offered by the home company.
Their books, based on the value of
the local exchange and equipment,
show that the present rates have
caused loss to the company of about
IA per cent, and they hope by the in
crease to wipe off the loss and show
small profit or at least put the X
change on basis where it will sus-
tain itself.

NOT ENOUGH TO GO AROUND
SAYS COUNTY AGENT
Even by Cutting Allotment to 100
Pounds Many Will be Unable to
7 Get the Explosive. Entire Allot-
ment.

It has become necessary for County
Agricultural Agent v. E. Brubaker
to cut the allotment of the T. N. 7.
explosive to one hundred pounds to
each farmer, and even with this cut
many of the farmers Of Bayfield, coun-
ty who had intended putting in their
applications for the explosive will
not be able TO be supplied.
The entire allotment for Bayfield,
county from the state agricultural
department was $4,000 pounds, and
it was the intention to give this out
in 200 ,b. lots, but the orders for the
explosive have been coming in SO fast
from all parts of the county during
the past week that the County Agent
has deemed it advisable to cut the
allotment SO that as many as possi
BILE can be supplied, and ever with
the cut the County Agent says there
will not be enough to fill the orders.
1t is indeed remarkable to see the
interest the Bayfield, county farmers
are taking in securing explosives to
clear their lands. More than $50
farmers have asked to be furnished
with the explosive now being fur
nished by the state at the cheap
price, which will be at the rate of
nine cents per pound, with freight
from Barksdale.
1t is expected that the explosive
will be ready for shipment some time
between the goth and 25th of the
present month and it will be shipped
out in one hundred pound lots to the
farmers whose applications are on file
and who have forwarded their remit
tance.
1t is indfed unfortunate that the
farmers could not be furnished with
all the explosive they desired to pur-
chase for it would mean more rapid
development of the lands in Bayfield,
county and would add wealth to the
several communities.
The explosive which is now being
furnished to the farmers was ordered
by the government for war purposes,
and as the government had large sup
plies on hand when the war ended, an
effort was made by the state agri-
cultural department to determine the
value Of this explosive for land clear
ing work, and after experiments it
was found to be more than satisfac-
tory, and through the efforts of the
State Department and Congressman
Nelson and Senator Lenroot supply
was obtained and the present allc:-
ment 10 the state amounted to 200,-
600 pounds.
The government has large supplies
Of the explosive on hand and further
efforts should be made by the state
to secure this from the
end furnish it to the
farmer at actual cost.
The farmers are anxious to clear
their land of stumps and, with this
explosive at nine cents pound they
would develop the country more rap
idly and add wealth to this northland
empire.

FAMOUS DOGS OF DAMASCUS
Each of the Thousands of Pariah Bands Has Its Own Territory,
 and Sticks to 1t.

IL is estimated that there are any, where from 15,000 to 30,O00 dogs in Damascus, and they are all nariahs. Each has his or her cor ner on a certain street and there is no protection for those canines who stray into territory not their own. In bands of ten to twenty they pa- trol the city by day, and at night time, when they are not adding to the noises of the Orient by vocal ppo- tests against the ways of the world, they sleep in every nook and cranny about the thoroughfares.
 They are always hungry and it needs only the call, "Suk, suk, suk," to rouse them in legions, for by that token of Eastern speech they know that some one, for some reason, Is about to feed them bread.
 But wander about the different streets in search of food? Not they! Rather do they maintain "splen- did isolation and refuse to stray from their own street, or even from their particular end of a certain thoroughfare, for they are clannish beyond measure. and their preju- dices are distinctly insular even when they are extremely hungry.

PAPER YARNS DURABLE.
roOster.' D

Yarns of paper which came into use during the war will be with us permanently. The durability and desirability of this material has been greatly increased by the process of making it waterproof, which has been found to be a very difficult problem. A number of materials have been used, but the best method seems to be first to pass the yarn through bath of gum, tannin and slllcate of soda at 50 degrees O., and then through cold bath of basic formate of aluminum. Fabrics of paper yarns in this country have so far been used principally for pack ing purposes and certain types of bags, notably those used for onions.
