MAKE SOME PROVISION FOR
OTHER STREETS

That part Of the town which
is being paved, and which it is
proposed to pave, will be beauti-
full and a source Of comfort and
pride to the property owners IN
the favored section, but other
property owners in town will be
called upon and required to pay
one-third Of the cost Of all the
paving, and for that reason II
looks reasonable that some pro
vision should be made to at least
build a gravel road on the streets
not favored with paving.
Particularly is this true Of the
main thoroughfare through town
Main Street, north and south OF
the paving, and Of 18th Street
from Main to the town limits.
The work on these streets should
not be deferred longer, for in i
few weeks the paving will be
! completed and it will lose its
best effect if these streets are
permitted to remain in their
present deplorable condition.
! The contractors building the
road south Of the town are ne
ly through that contract and
would be glad to go right to
work on this Main Street. Z
little prompt action is all that
is necessary to put this through
and the town commissioners
should not defer that action ION
ger. It is crying, immediate
need, and should not be longer
deferred.

SAFEGUARDING CHILD
WORKERS

How one State has developed uni
que methods of protecting her young
est wage-earners is> shown in a
report just received by the Depart
ment of Lab0s through the Children's
Bureau, describing the employment
certificate system in Wisconsin. This
report is the fourth of series deal
ing with the administration of child
labor laws, previous reports having
summarized methods of administra-
ton in Connecticut, Maryland and
New York. In Wisconsin children
between IA and II years OF age must
secure permits before they can en-
ter industrial employment, and are
afforded special permits before they
can enter industrial employment, and
are afforded special protection IN
their work. This is higher age
than that prevailing in most States.
All important cities and towns in
State maintain vocational schools at
which part-time attendance OF all
employed children beween IA and IL
years of age is compulsory. The
industrial commission is represent
ed on the Board for Vocational Ed
ucation. The apprentice laws, re-
quiring in connection with shop ex-
perience a certain amount OF formal
instruction, together with the voca-
tional school system, give Wiscon-
sin unique opportunity for leader
ship in the vocational training move
ment. In spite of it's many advan-
tages, the Wisconsin law has several
weak points the most serious being
that physical examinations are now
required of children entering indus
try; however, such examinations are
now made mandatory in the largest
city, Milwaukee, by order 0 fthe In
dustrial Commission

trife less than three acres of corn
was needed to ill the silo which was
IL feet in diameter and 20 feet tall.
Had it not been for the fact that
the ensilage cutter broke after the

been needed to fill the. silo.
The corn stood between eight and
ten feet high and well filled with
large ears. The corn was thor
oughly ripened.

Mp. Seeks Abandonment Of
Short Line in Bayfield, County

the road resisted to the utmost. Inc
county as a whole should join the
proposition and if necessary special
meeting of the county board should
be called to lay plans Tor resisting
the attempt. The aid of every set
tier, every land owner, every manu-
facturer, every merchant and anyone
else who might be affected should be
interested in the fight to save Bay
field county's railroad for which the
taxpayers of the C ounty originally
paid $24O,00O.00 to build.
To have the road abandoned would
amount to the coniscating Of many
of the farms of poor settlers, who
would otherwise have no means OF
an outlet. To tear up the road
would be a tremendous, blow to the
towns of Glover, Bell, Port Wing,
and Tripp which have to depend en-
tirely upon this road for their sup
plies during the winter months. 1t
would make the farm lands in the
vicinity of the road practically value
less, and would greatly diminish the
value of the lands in all fthe towns
north and south of the track.
The Northern Pacific company, it
is presumed, will attempt to show
that the road passes through sand
barron country which does not have
a great deal of value for agricultural
purposes, which may in a measure,
be true, but they will fail to take in
to consideration the value of the
territory adjacent to the road which
is considered among the best farming
lands in bayfield, county, which is
served by this road.
There is business for the Northern
Pacific company along its Wash
burn branch of line, if an effort
wouldbe made to secure this business.
This great farming section is now in
its infancy and is developing with
rapid strides, and in few years
must have a railroad to supply it.
Ta abandon this road at this time
would be crime against the settlers
who are now established upon their
farms, it would be a crime against
the territory north and south of the
line of trace, and crime against the
cities and towns through which the
railroad passes. There is not a town
or city in Bayfield, county that will
not feel the affects of the abandon
ment of the road, which is being at
tempted simply to save the Northern
Pacific railway company few
dollars which it must outlay for a
short perod of Years while this coun-
try is developing.
1t would leave the entire north
part of Bayfield, county without a
line of railroad, it would effect real
estate and property values in every
section of the county.
1t is up to the people of the en-
tire county to pull together on the
proposition of resisting the attempt
to abandon the road and to fight to
the last ditch.
A meeting is scheduled for Iron
River on Saturday morning of this
week at which chairmen of the towns
of Iron River, Oulu, Port Wing,
Clover, Bell, Hughes, Trip,
Washburn, Barksdale, city of Wash
burn, and others will be present to
discuss ways and means for COM
batting the attempt to remove the
railroad and to form an organiza-
tion with this end in view.
