Bayfield, County Cattle
Free From tuberculosis
STATE HAS COMPLETED
TEST OF ALL CATTLE
Percentate of Reactors was
Found to be Less that One
half of One Percent. Third
County in the State.

Two years ago, the farmers of
Bayfield, County signed petitions to
have all cattle tested by State and
Federal Veterinarians. This test ac-
cording to Statutes was to be COM
pleted as soon as possible without
charge. Bayfield, county was the
second county in the state to file
petitions to have this work done.
Barron county was first. For some
reason not fully known, Lincoln
county had their test completed be-
for Bayfield, county, even though
they were third to file petitions with
the state.
To date 10,160 head have been
tested, giving only Is head as re-
actors which is less than one-half of
one per cent. There were one or
two valuable herds lost through the
test; one of which was registered
Red Polled herd, belonging to Henry
Radloff in the town of Orienta. There
were sereval reacters found in the
Iron River, Moquah, Mason, Wash
burn and Bayfield, communities.
The records of the tests also show
65 Pure Bred bulls being used in
the county. The number of pure
bred, having increased from 20 per
cent to 65 per cent in the past three
years. The Holstein and Guernsey
Breedets Associations are doing
much TO Swat the Scrub Bull. There
are now 180 Registered females in
the county and they are gradually
increasing.

TOO EASY WITH
BLUESKY GRAFTERS
So Says the Securities Division
OF the State Railroad Commits
sion Concerning Attitude of
Local Officials Over State.

MADISON, Dec. 12.-That the sale
of illegal securities in this state is
treated too generally with but little
consideration by local peace officials
when it is just as serious as the rob-
bing of bank, is the statement of
the Railroad Commission in submit
ting the annual Securities Division
report to Governor Blaine this morn
ing.
"It frequently happens" says the
report, chat officials do not arrest
persons for illegal sale Of securities
unless such illegal sale has been
brought to their attention by this
Commission. This is probably due
to the fact that they have not yet
come to regard the offense as a seri-
Gus one.
"If a bank is robbed of a few
thousand dollars the whole commun-
ity is stirred and all the forces of
the county are marshalled to cap
ture and punish the offenders; but in
the same locality man may enter
and take from the people by fraud
many times the amount Of money and
it is treated as a minor offense. On
many occasions tbs department has
spent considerable money and large
amount of time in seeing that Of
tenders are brought to justice and
we have frequently had to procure
the assistance of the Attorney Gen.
erals office when the matter should
have been handled by local authori-
ties"
Judges who allow fraudulent sales
man to take "French leave" by set
ting bail at low figures and give but
small fines in case Of conviction were
scored by the report. Only one
Jail sentence has been imposed claims
the Commission.
ssThe greatest benefit can only be
secured from the administration o1
this law when violation Of its provi
sions are punished with such severity
that it becomes improbable for the
unscrupulous salesman to come irte
this state and attempt to make 8
quick campaign and get away with
large sums of money taken from thu
people of Wisconsin through the sals
of worthless securities"

UNTApPED NATURAL WEALTH

An untapped wealth estimated at
a minimum of $15O,OO0,0OO, 900, is
contained in the more than 4OO,-
OOO. 900 acres of land still held in the
public domain, Secretary Fall OF
the Interior Department says in his
first annual report. Coal and oil
form the bulk of this wealth, the to-
tai coal deposits being estimated at
10000, 100000 tons, and the oil de-
pcsits at 1,S25,OOO, 900 barrels, With
an additional $4,000, 100000 barrels
of shale oil.
From the development of these re-
sources the Federal government,
Secretary Fall says, would realize by
way of royalties, etc., a total of
$l2,Ss7, 100000.

FARMERS FORM
ASSOCIATION
TO ASST THEM WITH THEIR
CREDITS
Started Out With a Membership
Of Twenty-three Farmers
With About 5000 Shares of
Stock.

An association which has for it's
object assistance to farmer menu
bers of the local Federal Farm Land
Bank was organized in this city to-
day.
For some time the members of the
local association have been talking
organizing such an association and
today % members were present and
signed up for about 5000 shares of
stock at SIS per share.
Andrew Berge, secretary of the To-
cal association, called the meeting
together and explained the object of
the Association. He said the pur-
pose of the organization would be
principally to assist members of the
Federal Loan Association with tenn
porary loans with which to make
their payments, and later when more
capital was secured, to assist them
in buying cows, machinery, etc. The
association will be strictly co-opera-
tive, and at present will be limited ito
members Of the Federal Land Bank
The capital will be paid in by divi-
dends received from the shares in
the Federal Loan Association, and
although this amount is small at
present, yet it will increase rapidly
every year.
The following directors were elect
ed: E. R. Tetzner, for one year, J
N. Kinney for two years and An.
drew Berge for three years. Officers
are J. N. Kinney, Pres, E. R. Tetz
ner, Vice-Pres., and Berge, Secy

RIGHT TO EXTENT
TAX PAYMENT
SENATOR NYE GIVES VIEW
ON TAX BILL
Says Councils of Cities May
Decide to Divide the' Tax
Payment Into Two Parts.

A good deal of interest has been
centered in a bill passed by the last
legislature which permits cities of
the state to extend tax payment time,
but there has been considerable dif-
ference of opinion regarding the bill
and its provisions.
Because of the unemployment at
this time good many of the tax
payers lave wondered if this bill
could not be made to apply and at
ia recent meeting of the city council
of this city the question came up, but
the council members were given to
understand that the law only applied
to persons who were i'll or who,
through unemployment, were unable
to meet their tax payment, and a
resolution was passed whereby it
was made to include men who we're
sick or who were out of work, such
persons to file an affidavit with the
city clerk who would postpone the
tax payment. o nthis the council
seems to have been misinformed, but
there was another bill which had this
provision, but applied to last years
taxes.
Ray j. Nye of Superior, was the
author of the bill passed by the last
legislature. At first the bill made
the law apply to all cities, towns and
villages, but because of opposition a
new bill was presented which made
the law apply only to cities and this
was passed. Senator Nye has the
following to say concerning the law:
Six Months Extension
"The bill which I introduced and
which passed and became Chapter
523 fthe Laws of 1921, relating to
the postponement of tax payments,
gives the city commission power to
extend the time for the payment Of
all or portion Of the taxes assess
ed for city purposs, for a period Of
time not exceeding six months from
March," said Senator Nye.
"Taxes, the payment of which are
postponed, will draw interest from
March / until paid, at rate fixed
by the city commission, which shall
not be less than 5 per cent nor more
than z per cent per annum.
"The state and county share of the
taxes must be paid before March /
in order to secure the extension OF
time to pay the taxes collected for
city purposes.
Applies to Cities Only
"This law only applies in cities Of
the state. Early in the last ses-
sion of the legislature, / introduced
bill which made this extension ap-
ply in all cities, villages and towns.
This bin passed the senate but was
killed in the assembly by members
from villages and towns who object
ed to it. thereupon introduced a
new bill, under suspension Of the
rules, which finally passed, and ap-
plies only in cities.
"Under this law, "a semi-annual
payment of taxes will obtain.
"This act should not be confused
with another bill, which was passed
and applied only to taxes collected
last year, when an affidavit was neces-
sary for extension, stating that the
taxpayer was sick or out of employ
ment."

DUPONT CLUB OPENS
SOCIAL PROGRAM
First Mixer q Big Success at
Du POnt Club.

The Du P0nt filuD opened lCS So
cial activities for the season with a
MIXER held in II. Club gymnasium
on Friday evening, Dec. 9. The
evening started out with bang
in fact, with several loud bangs in
cident to an extemporaneous bas-
ket ball game which was the first
number on the program.
One team was made up of Slime,
Captain, Corcoran, Ratti, Collins and
Axley, and the other Of Cushing, cap,
tain. Francek, Leith, j. Alberchtson
and Lindblad. The referee was C.
j. Lamere, who was pickd for the
job because he was the only man in
the Club who had never seen basket
ball game. His decisions, which
were preceded by loud blasts from
hand Klaxon, were unique in the
history Of basketball, and contribut-
ed fully as much to the success and
interest Of the game as the players,
if not more. Mr.. James Murray was
time-keeper, and gave four very fine
solos on his favorite instrument, the
alarm clock, to start and stop the
spasms. In this NE was ably Sc
conded by Mr.. A. g. Ward, who en-
joyed the game 50 much that he
heightened the halves Just 6O1o-and
nearly killed both tens.
Failure TO appoint q score-keeper
resulted in some uncertainty as to
the score. It 8 commonly believed
to have been z to 6, but which was
z and which 6 and how much each
side really earned, are questions
destined to remain shrouded in mys-
terry.
OF the playing it can be said that
all ten players out DID themselves,
and surpassed the expectations OF the
audience, in spite Of thei truck
horse architecture. If any one man
can be singled out as star, it was
DR.. Axley, whose oratory was superb.
Doc settled all points which seemed
doubtful in the mind of the referee,
told each team what to do, decided
which scores should count, and in the
absence of other conversational ma
|terial, waved his arms wildly and
yelled, Foul on their side! Gimme
the ball!''-a request which was all
ways cheerfully granted, and by
which about half his teams points
were scored. AS basketball play
er. Doc is the best monologist ever.
At $3.50 Carlson's orchestra start
ed up the first fox-trot, and soon
everybody was dancing. The music
was good, the floor was fine, and
everybody was full of pep. After
about six danes, a suitcase race
was held, in which the contestants
were Doc Ward, Joe Martell, Joe
johnson, Helmer Moe, Al Garberg
and Henry Frechette. The speed
with which these gentlemen put on
and took off all manner OF seductive
feminine apparel and raced across
the hall in full panoply, was enough
to qualify them for the Hall OF Fame.
The only regret was that G. L.
Knots was not given achance to
distinguish himself.
At midnight a lunch was served,
consisting of doughnuts, cookies and
coffee. after which the dance was re-
sumed until 1870.
Besides Club members, quite
large number of guests were invited
who are eligible to membership, and
as the evenings entertainment was
only sample of what the Club in
tends to put on at frequent intervals
during the winter, there is no doubt
/ in the mind Of anyone present re-
garding the desirability of joining

Levy May Give 1922
School Fund Huge Sum
IF MILL TAX is ADDED TO
REGULAR LEVY
Council Fails to Make Special
Levy for School Purposes in
Addition to Regular Levy.

Those in the city who have know
lege of city affairs and taxing prob
lens and the laws governing tax mat
ters see possibility Of the school
fund Of the city receiving an enor-
nous sum of money throug the fail
ure of the council to set aside for
school purposes the additional 8 mills
to be collected by the council this
year. 1t was the intention of the
council to include this sum for school
purposes but the tax levy as passed
last Friday does not show this, but
shows a straight levy Of $48,0OO for
school purposes, which was supposed
to include the additional mills,
and if the additional mills, which
the law says must be collected for
school purposes, is added TO this
sum, it will give the school board
much more money than is needed
while the other departments of the
city will be left short.
Which ever way the amount is
collected will make no difference to
the tax payer, for he will pay the
same, but there is a possibility of
difficulties arising which the council
should correct.
The entire amount of taxes to be
collected, as shown by the levy,
amounts to $98, ,O75.26 with rate of
l4.3.
The amount of the state tax is
$4214.94, while the county tax is
$15, ,42O.49. The county school tax
amounts OF $5436.04, which is return
ed to the local schools after being
turned over to the County Treasurer.
The amount levied for all other city
purposs amounts to $34,39O.00.
The following is the levy as pass
ed by the council at special meeting
held last Friday evening:
State Tax Special

An excellent sermon was given by
