WAsHBURN's fame as summer

WASHBURN'S fame as a summer
outing place is travelling far and
wide and people from all parts of
the country are learning of our free
tourist camping place without effort
on our part. Nature did wonders
in creating the beauties of Memorial
Park which has been designated as
a free camping site for summer tour
lists and the handy work of man has
simply been needed to trim out the
underbrush and burn up the rub
bish and give nature chance to
display herself in all her beauty.
Each week the number of sum-
mer tourists OCCUPYING this camp site
is growing an dthe fame of it is
spreading far and wide for these
people all have friends to whom they
write of the beauty of this site and
the treatment accorded by the people
of this city.
4 more Yeautiful site could not
be found anywhere. 1t is bordred
on the south by Chequamegon Bay
which affords a fine bathing spot
for tourists who are so inclined and
the breezes from this large body of
fresh water the bay being an arm
of the greatest body of fresh water
in the world, temper atmosphere of
this site othat the climate is en-
joyable no matter how hot the
weather may be elsewhere. Cover
ing the site is growth Of ever
green trees which have been left in
their natural state, except that the
low hanging branches have been
trimmed away. Natural displays
itself in all its glory here.
Time was when the people of this
city neglected the beauty of this
ideal spot, but now that summer
visitors from afar have come here
and have attracted our attention to
the beauty of this park local people
are becoming enthused End num-
Der of local families have taken their
abode for the summer under the
green Of the trees.
Others have donated rope for
swings, lumber for tables, etc. and
it is getting to be real place.

But around Washburn we have
what is really worth more to a COM
munity than an "iron mine" and
that is agricultural and dairying
possibilities of this great region. We
know that the land will produce
large crops, that farmers who will
devote their time and energy to
farming will become well to do, and
that with all of the country adjacent
to Washburn under cultivation that
we will not need anything else to
make this the best community in the
world. The wealth is not always
to be found under the ground but
through the development of the soil
Nature has endowed this region rich

can bring it out with work.

ORPHANS co TO BED
SUppERlESS TO HELP.

ATLANTA, Jan. Cone hundred
little boys and girls at the Decatur
Orphans Home, near Atlanta, wen.
to bed supperless the other night
not because they were i'll, not be-
cause they had been bad, but be-
cause, in fa. away country, three
million of other little boys and girls
arc hungry.
l. was very simple thing they
did at the Decatur Orphans Home,
but it was the only way they knew
to help, and it showed as nothing
else could how terribly real is the
tragedy of childhood being enacted
today III Central Europe.
Some of The children at the Or
phan's Home read in the newspapers
the appeal Of Herbert Hoover and
the organizations allied with him for
$33, 100000 to buy food for the
children of Poland, Serbia, and other
stricken nations until the next har-
vest is gathered.
They read the brief statement that
these children will die unless Ameri-
ca helps. and they saw pictures of
theel-little faces lined with suffer
ing, hollow cheeks, big eyes and wist-
full like a sick dogs.
They know wnat hunger is, do
some Of the children at the home.
Before the home took them, they
knew whao it was to look like those
pictures-and to feel that way. So
perhaps it was not surprising what
they told the superintendent.
They wanted to go without sup

they wanted to send to Mr. Hoover

rope from starving to death, when
hundreds Of ministers next Sunday
will follow the request of the state
committee for European relief, and
from their pulpits will call the at

distressing conditions in Central
Europe, where 100000 babies may
die before the next harvest unless
America sends food.
Atlanta churches, Sunday schools
and Bible classes are already join
ing whole-heartedly in the great hu-
mantarian campaign. A number of
the Presbyterian churches, taking
up their annual offerings for the
Thornwell orphanage at Clinton, S.
c., and the orphanage at Nacoochee
Valley, Ga, at the same time took
up collections for the children over
seas.
The Brotherhood Bible class of the
Central Presbyterian church set the
pace when it subscribed $500 for the
American orphanages and $338 for
the little ones in Europe. The Epip-
hany Sunday school, Episcopal, COM
posed of only 120 members, sub
scribed enough money to save II
children at SO child. The Deca-
tur Presbyterian Sunday school also
made a liberal donation.
Now the Evangelical Ministers As
sociation of Atlanta as a body has in
dorsed the campaign, and the indi-
vidual members have agreed to
preach sermons about it next Sun
day. At the same time DR.. Charles
W. Daniel, pastor of the First Bap-
tist church, has sent out an appeal
to the ministers of the state in these
words:
THE churches of Christ must be
in the van for the relief of the stary-
ing children of Europe. What we
do must be done quickly. The state
executive committee, the Atlanta
committee, and the evangelical min
isters most earnestly request you to

terrible distress of these little ones,

STIR WEBSTER
Trouble Said To Threat
en- If Wanted Negro
Is Captured

Trouble threatens in the Rush dis
trict of Webster county if Foy
Thornton, we'll known negro re-
Gently returned from the North, who
engineered a wild west holdup in
that county last Saturday night, IS
captured, according to word which
has leaked out in that section. 1t was
with difficulty that one of the two
negroes arrested for assisting Thorn
ton in the holdup was kept out OF
the hands Of a group OF white citl-
zens Saturday, who insisted on ap-
plying the lash TO him. because OF
the reputation of Thornton for bad
influences in the community, and his
rumored threats that ne will not sub
nit to arrest by any white man, it
is said trouble is hAe'y if he Is
caught. Al present his whereabouts
is a mystery to TIE officials.
Last Saturday night Sheriff c. M.
Christian, Of Webster county, re-
ceived a call at his home at Preston
that holdup had occurred at the
home of Dave Clark, colored, about
s miles south of Preston. 1t was
said that one negro who wore a
handkerchief mask and two other
blacks who were unknown, had en-
gagged in the holdup, while one of
them held q horse hitched to bug
gy, which had brought them to the
scene, che masked man covered
Frank Clark, son of Dave, and
his mother with a gun, while the
third obtained SAL from a drawer
The Clark negroes recognized the
masked man as, Thornton. Sheriff
Christian, with an assistant, put dogs
on the track, but could trail the
holdups only to the buggy. Going
to the Thornton home some miles
away, they were unable to locate Foy
Thornton. Sunday night Will May,
a companion of Thornton, was ar
rested and Tuesday James Bell, an
other companion, was taken. Both
admitted participating in the holdup,
their details of the affair correspond
ing to the story told by the Clark
negroes. Both are held for the next
grand jury.
The Thornton negro returned from
the North only about three weeks
ago, after spending year or more
there Since the robbery he IS said
to have been in the neighborhood of
his home, and to have spread the
word, which has reached the sheriff,
that "no white man will ever arrest
me"
