THE NEW DEER TAGS.

This year deer hunters must supply
themselves with metal deer tag
which in some ways resembles the
seal for locking box car doors. Since
hunters in different parts of the
county have been receiving their tags
number of letters have come to
the office of the County Clerk stating
that these. tags have become fastened
together and cannot be opened.
There is no way possible OF open
ing these tags after they have been
put together and hunters who have
got them fastened together are now
required to send them to the office OF
the State Conservation Commission,
at Madison where new tags are issued
upon receipt of fifty cents.
The advice sent out from the Oisica
of the County Clerk is not to attempt
to lock the tag until it is around the
leg of the deer for they cannot be
opened. The locking devise is simple,
yet sure, and if your tag once be-
comes locked it cannot be opened and
it will cost you fifty cents to get an
other.

May Peterson. Her Personality and
Art

If there is any one word in the
dictionary that briefly expresses the
quality Of the art of May Peterson,
the famous Metropolitan opera star
and concert artist who will appear at
the Presbyterian church, Ashland,
Tuesday, October 10Th, at 8 o'clock, it
is culture. The daughter Of Metho-
dist minister she has always retained
the refining and elevating influences of
christian training. If there is one
word that expresses the charm of her
art to both eye and ear, it is her
mony.~ Everything about her always
harmonizes. Of how few can this
be said that we come in contract with
nearly every day. Some have voice
and cannot sing. Some can sing and
have no voice. Some look like ladies,
but alas do not act as such. Some
wear their clothes with ease mad
grace while others struggle with them
and betray their character. In Miss
Peterson there is always symmetry
in all things from the blend of her
golden hair to t he soft lines Of her
exquisite gowns; the refinement and
gentleness of her voice in speech, the
graciousness of her manner and the
delicate art of her finished singing.
All these qualities and many others
have combined to make Miss May
Peterson one of the most popular and
sought after concert artists before the
public today. Her name has become
almost a household word in every
American home where true art and
good music are appreciated. And
best of all she is an American girl
of whom we may all be justly proud
for she has won her way to fame by
her own individual efforts and strict
adherence to high moral standard
and artistic ideals. Her forthcom-
ling concert here will be looked for
ward to as one of the musical treats
of the season.

ELECTION MACHINERY
To nrr 4
We Will All Get Three Ballots This
Fall, Presidential, State and
Referendum. State and Nation
al Ticket Not Together.
is READY

MADISON, Wis.,, Oct. 12.-The
election machinery is all ready set for
November 2. Secretary of State Mer-
lin Hull has sent the official ballot to
each county in the state for printing.
The ballots this time will be three in
number which must be printed in each
county. First is the referendum bal
let which must be printed on pink
paper. Second, the state ballot which
is printed on white paper and third,
the presidential ballot which is print
ed on blue paper.
Contrary to general belief three
ballots will be handled this fall. The
presidential ballot is entirely separ-
ate from the ballot for state officials
an dis printed on different colored
paper. The referendum ballot is
distinct from the state ballot.
County clerks are complaining that
they will not be able to print the
presidential ballot on blue paper as
required by law. The statue pro-
vides that this ballot should be print
ed on blue newspaper and the paper
shortage finds many printers in the
state out of supply. The attorney
general, Blaine, ruled that where a
printer did not have blue news paper
he could use some other paper, the
nearest possible to blue but not white
or pink.
In the different counties of the state
the ballots are sent to election pre-
cincts of which there are nearly 240C
in the state. With the large wo-
mems vote which will be cast this
year the result of elections for al
officers may not be known for two
or three days after election.

Capt. O. E. Fader arrived in Ash
land yesterday from Fort William,
Ont, with his engineer and started
fitting out the Str. "Mary Scott"
which he purchased from Capt.
John Doherty and will leave in few
days with her for Fort Williams. Capt.
Doherty has operated the Mary Scott
on the ferry run between Ashland and
Washburn for the last fifteen years
and has carried thousands of people
in that time without an accident of
any nature and people will surely
miss his boat and the familiar sound
of her whistle.
This leaves Chequamegon bay
without any passenger boat of any
Lind for the first time in forty years
and this condition is surely to be re-
gretted.

HEAVY MACHINERY PURCHASES MADE THIS
WEEK BY ANCHOR SHlPBUILDING COMPANY
SOME OF THE WORK OF
THE COUNTY NURSE
One In Northern Wisconsin Tells
Of One Case Which Was Almost
The Equal of War Zone Active
AS to Handicaps to be Overcome.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 11.-How
the work Of county nurse occasion
ally is done under handicaps common
to the erestwhile war zone is revealed
in the monthly report Of a northern
Wisconsin county nurse, received by
the bureau of child welfare and pub
lic health nursing.
She was called one night to assist
with surgical operation. Reporting
it she said:
"The patient was in a farmhouse
several miles from town and a half
mile from the road across swamp
through which we had to walk. The
house, barn and chicken coop are all
under one roof. We had a small
kitchen table, a dripping pan, a wash
basin, teakettle, and two small dish
pans to work with. We brought our
own towels and sterile sheets. There
were two beds in the room, in one of
which there were five children, three
at the head and two at the foot, and
a baby slept in a cradle which was
wound up like clock and rocked it.
self.
eve got to the place about 1870
p. NJ. We had one lamp and two
lanterns for light. The patient is
doing very nicely.
These are not the only kinds of
emergencies where the public health
nurse can be useful. The same
nurse in the same month took care Of
baby having convulsions for 36
hours, and when an umpire in base
ball game was struck on the head by
swift ball and no doctor could be
found, she gave first aid and took
care of him for "a hours. The baby
and the umpire, like the surgical pat
lent are "doing nicely"
Although bedside nursing does not
come within the duties prescribed for
the country nurses, service in emer-
gencies is not avoided when much de-
pends upon quick action.

QUOTA FOR BAYFIELD, COUNTY
is $2,7O0.00
To be raised During Week of October
s11th and 18th. Bayfield, County
Committee To Conduct Active
Campaign to Go Over Top.

Bayfeld's County's drive to raise
$2700.O0 for the Salvation army
rescue work will begin on October
18th and be finished on October 18th.
Every district in Bayfield, County is
well organized and reports come to
the County headquarters that may of
the places expect to complete the
drive in one day.
Of the quote for the county Wash
burns share is $4,000, an amount
which is not large when it is known
that in the war drives many times
this amount was raised on every oc-
casion.
The Salvation army accomplished
world Of good druing the world war
and they have come to be looked upon
as an institution worthy Of the sup
port of every one.
The Salvation army plans to carry
on work at home from this time on
and the funds raised in the present
drive will be used for establishing
rescue homes in each state in, the
union where the unfortrnates can be
cared for and given a new start in
life.
In each county nthe state an adj
visory board, composed of local people
has been named, and this board works
with the State Advisory board to
bring the needs of each community
to the attention of the State Board
for action. The plan Of the Salvation
Army Board is to make the work of
their army as far reaching as pos
sible in order to meet the needs of
all communities.
1t had ought to be an easy matter
to raise Washburn's quota and the
work of the solicitors should be made
as easy as possible. Give literally
to this cause for it is worthy of your
gift.

Eighteen revenue agents stationed
between Woodruff and Mercer, Sat
urday night, stopped four automobile
loads of whiskey enroute to Hurley
from Milwaukee and in the fight
which ensued John Chaipusio, one of
the proprietors of the Senate Hotel
of Hurley, was killed.
The agents had been tipped off,
that the whisl1ey was on its way from
Milwaukee and had been sleuthing
between Mercer and Woodruff since
last Tuesday.
The first car was stopped at $3.50
near Pine Lake, sixteen. miles south
of Hurley, by means of red light
swung in the middle of the road. The
driver and his companion jumped
from the car and struck off into the
woods. Using this car for buffer, the
revenue agents placed it broadside in
the roads and the second car was
stopped. John Chaipusio, who was
one of the occupants of this car, was
shot four times i nthe back of the
neck in trying to escape through
the woods. A car going south to-
wards Mercer was halted, the wound
ed Chaiplfsio placed in it and the
agents ordered him taken to the hos
pital at Ironwood where he died Sun
day at 4:30 in the afternoon.
The other two cars were wrecked

Predict World Ports

Particular stress. has been placed
by the delegates on waterways from
the Great Lakes to the gulf and
through the st. Lawrence and speak
ers yesterday predicted that great
lakes harbors would, soon become
"great world ports" John M. eileen,
secretary of the Illinois manufac-
turers said, "men of vision can see
the time when deep draft iocean liners
will cast their hawsers as daily mat
ter of courses over the mooring posts
at great lakes harbors.
Thousands of lighter draft YES
sels,' he went on, twill come up the
Mississippi from New Orleans and the
gulf of Mexico, from Central and
South America, from the South sea
and the antipodes. European carriers
will voyage up the st. Lawrence and
will return with grain from the all
most inexhaustable stores of the Mis-
sissippi valley"
The estimated cost of developing
the great lakes route was placed at
a maximum of $4,000, 900. This sum
would be expended principally for
cutting connecting canals.
Neglect Waterways
"One half at least Of the cost of the
transportation and the congestion OF
our present system is due to the fact
that we have neglected the economic
development of our waterways" Mr.
Glenn asserted.
Nov that the railroad transporta-
ton costs have become excessively
high, and it has become easily appar-
ent that the rails cannot accommodate
more than a small percentage of the
traffic, the only thing left is to de.
velop the waterways.
'Those short sighted individuals
Iwho believe that our future transpor,
tation needs can be cared for by the
railroads alone, resemble the Londor
burgess who could not vision the da,
when the greatest city in the worlC
would outgrow the walls that con
fined the English metropolis to tn,
narrow limits about the tower"

.CONUCIL ours
SCHOOL LEVY
REDUCTION OF $1,000 MADE in
AMOUNT ASKED
School Board Members Say They
Cannot Operate on Levy as Made
and Will Have to Ask For More
Funds.

A joint meeting Of the city coun-
ell and the school board was held
at the Commercial Club rooms on
Tuesday evening of this week for
the purpose of going over city fin
ances together and making some dis
position of the school levy which has
been asked for the school board.
Because of the large increase in
the salaries of the teachers and
ianitors, together with the advance
in the price of coal and all other
commodities used in the school the
board has asked for an increase of
practically thirteen thousand dollars
over last year. The increase covers
less than the amount of the increase
in the salaries of the teachers and
janitors, all other items having been
cut by the school board in order to
make the levy as small as possible,
but the council figured that even the
amount asked for would have to be
cut in order to leave enough to run
the several departments Of the city
government.
After lengthy discussion of the
question a motion was made, upon
the suggestion Of Mayor Peavey, to
the effect that the sum of $4,000 be
made as the levy for school pur-
poses. The Board members intimate
that they will be unable to operate on
this sum and state that they will have
to appear before the Council again
to ask for an additional levy.

route even against the wishes of Bay
field county people, that another in
vestigation will be made to determine
a less costly route that will prove
just as satisfactory as the route
chosen.

Good Roads Sunday
Set for May Is in
Appeal to Clergy
Churches of All Denomina.
tions Asked to Aid in Ship
by Truck Week; Drive
to Improve Highways

From The Trib~ne's Washinason Bureou
WASHINGTON, May 2. - The CO.
operation Of the churches has been
asked for the good roads movement.
A call for the observance of good
loads Sunday on May 10 was issued
to-day in connection with the National
Ship-by-Truck Good Roads Week, May
II to %, and it contained q special
appeal to clergymen Of all denomina-
tions. inviting their attention to the
relation between good roads and right
living and good roads and Christian
progress"
Pointing out that the early construc-
ton of better highways will prove ono
of the quickest means of facilitating
production, the call says:
THE purpose is to fix in the heart
of citizens the conviction that the next
step to be taken for the welfare Of the
community. the nation and the world
is mediately to improve the high
ways and to inaugurate measures
whereby every mile of roadbed in the
United States may be hard surfaced
as soon as the combined forces of
counties, states and the Federal gov
eminent can obtain this result"
The urgent need Of increased trans
portation facilities is emphasized in
the call, which continues:
"The waterways and railways no
longer can handle the volume Of traffic
that must be moved. Daily six car
loads Of freight are offered for ship
ment in five cars that are available
for this purpose.
"City jewellers cannot continue to
pay the present prices of foodstuffs. A
national factor in these excessive costs
is the haul from the farm to the town
over primitive roads. The human fam
lily cannot live on the present annual
supply. If production is to be in
creased the farmers life must be made
attractive. Nothing will produce this
result as surely as modern highways
National Good Roads Sunday, OBJ
served by pastors and congregations in
Is, is only one of the means employed
by the campaign committee to arouse
discussion regarding the improved
highways and highway transportation
10 The other means include sixty tours
radiating from as MANY cities into the
rural districts contiguous to these cen
ters, and an essay contest on the sub
ject, "Ship by Truck and Good Roads,
for which a four years university
scholarship has been offered for the
best essay written by a high school
pupil. The scholarship will be awarded
after the essays have been read by
judges to be appointed by Commits
sioner of Education P. P. Claxton.

the country and make addresses In the
