WHERE WE STAND.

The Times stands pledged for
Harding and Coolidge, for Morgan for
Attorney General, for Henry john
son for State Treasurer, for Lenroot
for United States Senator, for Nelson
for Congress. for Werden for State
Senator. for Downs for Assembly
and for the rest of the Republican
County Ticket. We stand pledged
to them because they endeavor to
represent Republican principals and
the Republican platform, but as for
the rest of the State Ticket it is be-
yond us to give them our support al
though the Times has always en-
deavored to, be right and regular and
to support the ticket as nominated.
When it became known that Blaine,
for Governor and Comings for Lieu
tenant Governor had been nominated
in the state over the rest of the Re
publican candidates it was not our
intention to bolt the head of the state
ticket, even tho, these candidates were
nominated with the help of the So
cialists and the non-partisans for we
believed in falling in line and sup
porting these candidates even though
they did not meet with our approval
but when they refused to accept the
Republican State platform and the
National Republican platform, simply
because Bob LaFollettei said they
should not, and to insist that the
plank of the Non-partisan league be
adopted as part of the State plat
form then we believe it is up to
every Republican who is against So
cialism3 radicalism and the Nom
partisan league to raise their voice
and do their bit to defeat these can
didates.
In doing this Mccoy for Governor
on the Democratic ticket offers the
only solution. Mccoy is throughly in
accord with the Republican State
platform in its opposition to the Nom
Partisan. League and stands with both
feet nthe Republican platform on
purely state issues. He is 100 per
cent American and we'll qualified for
the position which he seeks.
Vote for Mccoy on the Democratic
ticket at the November election and
thus save Wisconsin from the fate
of North Dakota. Show Mr.. Blaine
and Mr.. Comings that Wisconsin IS
not yet ready to join the ranks of
the Non-Partisan Leaguers.

COMMUNITY FAIRS HELD IN
COUNTY VERY SUCCESSFUL.
(bntributed.)


During the week of Sept. 9th to
Oct. End, six Community fairs were
held in Bayfield, county; at Barksdale,
Drummond, Mason, Bayfield,, Cornu-
copia and Port Wing. After much
hard work on the part of the local
committees, these fairs have been
very successful, and have been met
with great enthusiasm among most
of the people in all communities.
Owing to the short time which some
Of the local committees had to pre-
pare for these fairs; remarkable
things were accomplished.
The total attendance of the eight
Community Fairs which have been
held to-date in our county this year,
has been more than three thousand.
The total number of exhibits entered
at the Community Fairs has totaled
more than three thousand, and the
total amount of money which was
given away as premiums at these
fairs, amounted to nearly $4,000. In
every locality where these fairs were
held, the committees have already
planned for holding another and
bigger fair in 1921.
All Exhibits Show Good Quality.
Mr.. Geo Briggs, who is now. assist
| ing Mr.. r. A. Moore at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, did most of the
Judging of the farm products at these
fairs, and gave some very instructive
talks to the people on better selec-
ton of exhibits for the fairs. He
also stated that the quality of the
Grain, Potatoes and Root crops which
he found at these fairs could not be
excelled anywhere in the United
States. While occasionally we found
little trace of scab and black scruf
on our potatoes, we feel that we are
gradually eliminating these condi-
tions to great extent. We have
heard most of the committees say
that they have learned much at these
fairs this year and gradually see
where they think they can improve
their fair for the coming year. II
is hard to say which community out
of the eight, made the best exhibit
of farm products. In some localities
there was better exhibits of Grain
then in others, while potatoes ex-
ceeded in other communities, but as
a whole, every fair was we'll re-
presented by good exhibits.
Women Show Much Interest.
At every fair the Women's depart
ment was well filled with canned
goods, fancy work, and other sewing
and also all lines of pastry. Miss
Walker form the University did most
of the Judging j nthe Women's work
in all communities and commended
the women very highly on the man.
agement and work which they had
put on their exhibit. She also made
the statement that she would like to
see more practical things which we
need in our home exhibited at these
fairs, instead of so much fancy work

project to handle, Mr.. Brubaker say

ages for Withdrawing
Lionel Rarrxmore

John D. Williams, theatrical mana
ger and producer, brought an action in
the Supreme Court yesterday against
Arthur Hopkins, another manager and
producer, for $4,000 damages and one
MALT of the profits received by the de-
tendant from the play, "The Jest" in
which Lionel and John Barrymore were
co-stars
Williams says he was producer of
The Copperhead," in which Lionel
Barrymore was the star. 1t had q sue
cessful season here and then was
taken on the road, where it also met
with success. Hopkins, according to
ms fellow manager, suggested to Will
lams he withdraw Barrymore as the
leading man and let Hopkins have him
for the production of "The Jest" Bar
rymore, being an essential part of the
success of "The Copperhead," it be-
came necessary for Williams to dis
continue the production Of his play in
agreeing to the proposition Of Hopkins.
that Hopkins would pay half the loss
Williams would incur by calling or the
tour of his company and also would
give Williams one-half Of the net
profits of "The Jest" The latter play
was produced and, Williams says,
yielded large profits, of which, how
ever, despite his demand, he has not
received his share. He fixes at $15,-
600 Hopkins's one-half Of the loss sus-
tanned in closing. "The Copperhead"
and demands in his suit that the de-
fendant be compelled to give an &C
counting of the profits from "The
Jest" and that he court award him
one-half Of that amount.
