FARMERS MEETING.

An interesting meeting of farm
ers and others who are interested in
farm subjects was held at the Y
M. C. A. Thursday afternoon. The
meeting was arranged by Agricul-
tural Agent Brubaker and is one OF
a series being held in the county
A number of interesting films were
shown, covering farm subjects. J.
w. Hicks, President of the Wiscon-
sin Potato Growers Association
spoke on the subject Of potato grow
ing and marketing. Mac Michaels
who is connected with the Wiscon-
sin Farm Bureau was also present
and spoke on the subject of proper
feeding. Mr.. Michaels came here
on the invitation of the officers OF
the Creamery Association.
Meetings of a similar nature are
being held at Mason on Friday and
Cable on Saturday.

FIRST LADY TO SERVE ON
JURY

County Superintendent of Schools
Miss Jessie N. Smith, of this city,
has the distinction of being the first
women in the county to serve on a
jury since the women were granted
the right of equal suffrage. The
case in question was one for viola
ton Of the game laws, the defendant
being q man 78 years of age. When
the Sheriff began looking around for
jurors for the case he encountered
Miss Smith and decided that. as long
as women were to have an equal share
in the running of this government Of
ours that they should also serve on
juries and he mentioned the matter
to Miss Smith who willingly decided
to act as one of the jurora on the
case.
The game warden claimed to have
found a partridge in the cabin of the
defendant, but the defendant claimed
to know nothing about how it came
there, claiming that he did not kill
the bird or violate any game law.
The jury, after hearing the case,
decided that the evidence was not
sufficient for conviction and readily
agreed to acquit the defendant. On
this point the men and lady juror were
perfectly willing to agree.

While many persons were assisting
in saving stocks of goods from the
business places which were threaten
ed by fire last Friday morning others
were engaged in looting. Roy Mark
ham reports that many articles were
stolen from the stock removed from
his stock. His cash register was
rifed and considerable money caken,
dozens of boxes Of cigars, and many
valuable articles Of merchandise. 1t
is regretable that men will take ad-
vantage of conditions such as these
to steal. Looting is the lowest form
of crime and guilty parties, if ap-
pretended, should be dealth with ac-
cordingly. 1t is bad enough to
have your property threatened by
fire, and then when you think it has
been removed to places of safety,
to find that hundreds of dollars
worth has been stolen.

HIGH SCHOOL WINS GAME.

The first real basket ball game Of
th season was played at the "Y" last
Friday evening. The High School
team and the Y. M. G. A. team were
the contestants. The High School
had things practically their own way
during the first period, due to better
team work, but lacked the staying
qualities necessary to keep the adj
vantage. During the second half
their opponents rallied and by strong
individual playing succeeded in al
most tying the score. The final
result was % to % in favor of the
High School team. While much Of
the work of both teams was ragged,
some very good playing was ex-
hibited. There are splendid players
on both teams and the team work
will be developed with practice. We
look for some good games. The High
School will meet the strong Wake
field, Mich, team Friday evening
Dec. 18th.

MADE RE.ASsEssMENT.

The Board of Public Works of the
City Council at meeting held De-
cember 9th, made re-assessment of
the sewer taxes effecting number
Of property holders in the east end
of the city. The hearing for re-as-
sessments was held pursuant to an
order Of the court, declaring former
assessments illegal. Some time ago
suits were instituted by owners of
over hundred lots that were assess
ed for the building of sewers. The
lot owners claimed that the proceed
ings were illegal that the assess
ments were excessive, amounting in
many cases to confiscation Of proper
ty. The re-assessment after the
hearing was agreed to on the basis
of one half assessed to the contract
ors, one fourth to the city and one
fourth to the property owners. 1t
was held that the construction OF
this sewer was war measure the
benefits of which would have accrued
to the city as whole. While the
ending of the war brought the work
to standstill, the moral obligation
remained. The amount assessed to
the city, should the re-assessment be
accepted by the contractors and pro-
perty owners. will be about a thou
sand dollars.

"The remedy for the tdeplorable
conditions which the grand jury
pointed out is not legal declara-
ton santifying violations. The
remedy is officers who fearlessly fer
ret and persistently prosecute Of
tenders, coupled with judges whose
sentences are severe enough to arouse
terror instead of filters.
Suppose congress legalized beer
The supreme court, upholding the
Volstead act, pointed out that it has
been the experience of dry states
which have permitted the sale of
beer that it become the recognized
means under cover of which every
form of intoxicants were sold. There
fore beer saloon became the same
old saloon. We are confident that
these juryirisn do not want that"

THE ONE BUCK LAW.

Quite difference of opinion pre-
walls as the wisdom and success of
the one buck law which has now had
years trial in this state. In
divduak opinions differ among
hunters about as much as opinions
on other subjects. If the object of the
law is to preserve the game, then it
has justified itself, for not more
than one tenth the number of deer
has been killed this year as compared
with year ago. If, as it's sponsors
argued it would help. to preserve hui
man life and to reduce the number of
accidents among hunters, was the
main object Of the law, then it has
failed, for according TO reports beifg
printed, fifteen Fatalities o9eufedefn
the state during The Season. Mary
hunters argue that deer of all kind
was killed until d buck with the Legal
length of horns was, secured, that
all animals illegally killed were left
in the woods. Cur opinion is that
these reports, were greatly enlarged
upon. The real fact is that we shall
either have this law again next year
or we will have an entirely closed
season. Game leagues and sports
mems clubs all over the state are
endorsing the law and it is probable
that the Legislature will enact laws
to conform to the expressed desires
of the sportsmen.

MERCHANTS DOING THEIR BIT.

1t is evident that retailers every
where are doing all that can be done
to reduce prices all along the line.
This is true all over the country and
can be proven by watching the adj
vertising of merchants. 1t is also
evident that wholesale prices are not
being reduced as fast and the conse-
quence is that many of the retailers
are suffering losses. The public
would not be so free to criticise the
local merchant were it known that he
is compelled to reduce prices, many
times, in the face of the fact that his
goods were purchased when prices
were high. We know of merchants
who are selling goods today not only
below cost, but at prices at which
such goods cannot be replaced. If
there isya gradual decline, then it is
healthy, and we are assured that we
are returning to normal conditions,
and all business men will have to
stand the loss with the hope that
they can later recover. OF course
prices are coming down Because
wages are being reduced, and this
condition is bound to effect everyone.
1t is reported that men are being
thrown out Of. employment, that
wages are being reduced, and this
jobs are even now very scarce, We
do not believe this will last long,
that the readjustment will come
about gradually, that wages, when
adjusted, will again be on par with
general conditions, such as the value
of our money, etc. In this city just
now, conditions appear quiet, but it
cannor be prolonged. We are no
worse than hundreds of other cities,
in many eases not nearly SO bad.

Jurors Wine Plea Called
plan to Perfume Pole Cat

In an attack on the action of the
federal grand jurors in asking con-
gress to legalize light wines and beer,
the Wisconsin Anti-Saloon league
Tuesday asserted that the resolution
was comparable to "an attempt to
purify polecate by spraying it with
rosewater."
The statement, issued by r. p. Hut
ton, superintendent, asserts that no
one will regret the action more than
the jurors when they have had time
to think it over"
"The federal grand jury was called
to enforce the law" the statement
says, t'and they indicted under that
law. Their petition makes it hard
to convict under that law. That =
jury whose sympathies were against
the law, as evidenced by the resolu-
tion, did indict, indicates that viola

A BIG PAPER.

The Times comes to its readers
this week in greatly enlarged form.
Our usual Christmas advertising has
forced us to publish many extra
pages and this Office has beer an un-
usually busy place for some time.
Advertisers here and at Ashland, re-
cognizing the splendid medium
through which to speak TO the public
have nearly swamped us. The issue
of the 23rd will be even larger and
will in addition have a beautiful
cover design which we believe will
issist in making next weeks Times
one of the largest and most COM
plete newspapers ever printed in this
part of the state. Merchants who
advertise are entitled to and should
receive the patronage of our readers,
and we believe will profit by a judi
cious use of the columns of the
Times. We cannot too strongly urge
early buying. Their stocks are
complete, and the best selections
may be had, and good service can be
rendered. Merchants expect
large Christmas business. and we
believe this advertising edition of the
Times will be largely credited with
the responsibility of bringing to the
attention Of the people Of this vici-
nifty the fact that our merchants are.
wide awake and progressive. We
are proud of this Christmas edition
and you will profit by reading every
word of it.

Winters Fire Hazards Are
Caused by Chimneys

| Many Of these fires occur at night
thus greatly endangering the lives
of sleeping occupants of homes
hotels and apartments.
In 1919, in this state, 73 persons
died and lat were injured through
fire. Women and children were the
chief victims.
Is your family and home free from
fire and life dangers?
l.. CHRISTMAS FIRES.
Annually many children are burned
to death in America by fires from
Christmas candles-poor christmas
cheer.
Set the tree on a firm standard so
that it cannot be tipped over. Use
metallic tinsel and other non-in-
fammable decorations only, and
powdered mica and fire asbestos to
represent snow.
Do not permit the children to light
the candles except in presence of
adults. Electrical illumination is
safer, but should be installed by an
electrician.
Remove the tree before the needles
become dry.
Special caution must be exercised
in churches, schools, stores and ba-
zaars where fires are liable to cause
panics and holocausts.
Let no preventable fire mar the
JOY of Christmas.

An alarming number Of reports of
chimney and roof fires are coming
in.
Because of scarcity of hard coal,
soft coal is being used in stoves and
furnaces intended for wood or hard
coal. The smokepipes and chimneys
become clogged in short time. Then
dangerous experiments are tried to
remove the SCOT. Waste paper and
excelsior are burned and drafts
opened, sending flames through the
pipes and chimney. The more fool
hardly resort to powder, gasoline or
kerosene.
This practice is more than likely
to set the single roof on fire. The
flames overhead the pipes and Chin
ney and find any defect in either.
Thus wood work near the pipes or in
contact with chimneys become ignit-
ed.
Soft coal gases and fumes disin-
tegrade and mortar between the brick
creating opening for the dangerous
spark.
Often these defects are in con-
cealed places as in attics or between
ceilings and floor and bad fire may
develop unnoticed.
Frequent, thorough cleaning of
chimneys and swokepipes is the only
safe remedy.
In 1919 over one-fourth of Wiscon-
sins fire waste was due to heating
plant hazards.

STYLES IN ADVERTISING.

In newspaper office there are
many things done which call for the
knowledge of a wide range of sub
,jects. Anything can be done by the
exercise Of the power Of ingenuity.
We cannot dismiss subject or turn
away work brought by customers
simply because it looks impossible,
or has not been done before. This
is practically true when it is known
that we say we can do any kind Of
printing. That a job of printing
is wanted in any but the English
language, does not stump the ver-
satile Times force. Recently Amos
M. Hansen, whose advertising ability
is known all over this end of the
state, whose sign: "You furnish the
girl. We furnish the home," is plast-
cred all over the countryside, re-
quested that we furnish him with
circular letter, printed in the
Scandinavian language, advertising
his famous Brunswick phOnograph
The result will be we assume tls.t
his other slogan, ''Har du en- phone
graph dit tshus, saa har jeg." viii
become as well known as the others.
This might be suggestion to other
advertisers. The Times will do it
for you.
