The great number of exhibits at
the International Grain Show made
competition very keen, but that did
not prevent some Of our farmers
from winning prizes. The Oats, Bar
ley, Rye and Wheat exhibited from
every part of the United States and
Canada was strong in quality. All
varities of Peas, Beans and Soy-beans,
Alfalfa and Glover seeds were exhibit
ed in large numbers.
Three judges, one from Canada,
one from Wisconsin, and one from
Indiana, passed on these grains. In
many cases it was almost impossible
for them to decide which sample of
grain exhibited deserved first prem
ium.
Swanson Wins End on Peas.
John johnson and Frank Fay, of
Port Wing, won prizes on Oats. Mr..
Brubaker states that all the Wheat
and Barley had not been judged when
he left the show, and everything
looked favorable for more prizes to
be taken by your, farmers. Oscar
Swanson, of Port Wing, won second
prize on his Peas, and deserved first
place. Had not a judge from Canada
been passing on these, he probably
would have won first. This Judge
placed sample Of Common Canadian
Field Peas first.
Our Spuds Show up Well ut State
Show.
"King Spud' held forth at Mil
waukee last week and many thousand
people took in the Show from all
parts Of the country. The Show in
general was a great success, but
there was not as many counties which
showed county display as last year.
Our county display made strong
showing, considering the competition.
While the first prize winner scored
1914 per cent, our county which was
placed 9Th place, scored 90 per cent,
making only 3.4 per cent difference.
Owing to the fact that competition
is so strong between the Potato
Counties which show at this Show,
we will need all the support and as
sistance possible. another year in sell
Getting seed stock for this show. We
will never stop until we win first
prize.

At the Tuesday night meeting of
the City Council the school levy suf-
fered another cut. when the council
again had the matter up for discus
sion with the result that the final
levy as made by the Council now
amounts TO 41,438. 90.
The original budget as proposed by
the school board at meeting held
more than a month ago amounted
to $52, ,495.Oe, and at joint meeting
of the school board and city council
at which the matter wassgenerally dis
cussed the levy was finally made at
$45,000.O0.
At the last regular monthly meet
ing of the City Council it was mov-
ed that the making of the levy be re-
considered at the December meeting
of the council and this was done on
Tuesday night and after considerable
discussion the amount was finally de-
termined on at $41, ,43S 90.
1t was the belief of the Mayor and
Council that the school board should
come in for retrenchments and that
as other city departments and that
the schools of the. city could be
operated on the amount as finally
made.
Members of the school board, who
state that the salary of the teachers
and jaintors amount to total of
$47, 900, say they will be unable to
operate nthe amount and will have
to apply to the council at some
future time to provide additional
funds.
The council also determined upon
the amount of the levy for the city,
this being done without knowing
exactly what the state and county
tax would be, but the amount of
percentage could not be changed and
it was left, up to the Clerk to make
the tax extensions on the roll. The
rate this year will be the same as it
was a year ago, namely $50 per
cent, 20 which will be added special
levy for school purposes, making the
total rate for the city 4.30, which is
The maximum rate.
The valuation of the city this year
as determined by the Assessor and
Board of Review is S2,425, ,444.OO
and with the maximum rate the
city will have barely enough to keep
up all departments and there will
be need for retrenchment along all
lines.
The council passed motion in
which it was recommended to the
school board, that the school board
be requested to provide hot lunches
for the children who are compelled
to carry their Ginners during the
winter months, providing the same
could be done at nominal cost. 1t
was the opinion of the council that
this could be done b ythe domestic
science department of the schools
and the children be charged nominal
amount for hot coffee and hot sand
wiches.
The usual number of bills were
audited and allowed and orders or
dered drawn for the amnunts.

In the last issue of the Times the
budget for Bayfield, County as made
by the County Board was published
and in giving the amounts for the
different county officers it was made
to read as salaries instead of salaries
and expense.
Since thes publication of the article
there has been a good deal of talk
about the salaries of county officers,
and in order to correct any wrong
impressions that may have been
gained we publish that portion, of the
budget again relating to the county
officers; which should read as follows
County Superintendent of schools,
salary and salary of clerk and ex-'
penses of office ............---- $780, 90
County Clerk, salary and expenses
