sEGAL.s NEW STORE.

The Segal Dry Goods company is
now nicely located in the Anderson
building, to which place the store
was moved during the past week
from the former location opposite
the Northern State Bank. The new
building gives the Segals Dry Goods
company one of the finest stores in
this part of the state.
The building is 25x80 feet in
length with beautiful display win
dows. At the rear of the store a
balcony has been built and this will
be used for the office department of
the store as well as the alienation
department.
On the east side of the building is
the dry goods sections, which in
cludes the dress goods, silks, ging-
hams, percales and all bolt goods,
while the box goods are to be found
on the west side Of the building. A
large circle glass case fits nicely
across the certer of the store and at
the rear of this is to be found the
corsets and ready-to-wear depart
ment, the cloaks, dresses and suits
being placed in hangers around the
entire wall.
The store presents beautiful ap-
pearance throughout and shows the
handiwork of the, proprietor Jake
Segal in arranging the stock to the
very best advantage for display.

MILWAUKEEAN PROPOSES
BILL IN LEGISLATURE
Would Have All Wages Paid
Within Ten Days From the
Time Earned. No Law Now
as to Payment of Wages.

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature at Madison by Senator
Joseph j. Hirsch of Milwaukee pro-
viding for the weekly payment Of
salaries and wages to employees of
Wisconsin Corporations. The bill
provides that all wages have to be
paid within ten days of the time
they are earned.
At the present time there is no
law in the Wisconsin Statutes fixing
the time employees must be paid,
other than that which governs the
payment of an employee who is dis
charge. Such employee must be
paid at once.
A bill has also been introduced in
the legislature providing 500 a
month as the minimum wage for
teachers. At the present time the
minimum wage is $500 per month.

TO SWITCH BUSINESS TO
WASHBUHN PLANT
Plant Manager Gackowsk; Urges
Company to Start Washburn
Plant In Order to Give En-
ployment to Idle Men.

Through the efforts of Alex Gac-
komski, local manager for the Ken.
field-Lamoreaux company in this city,
the box and Grating plant here, which
has been closed down for more than
a month, will resume operations on
the first Monday of February on a
one-third basis, thus giving employ
ment to about one-third of the regular
factory crew, this being in addition
to the number of men who are now
employed in the company saw mill.
In letter to the company last week
Mr.. Gackowski urged that the fac
tory in this city be opened at the
earliest possible moment in order
that some of the former employees
of the company can get employment,
and III letter received from the
company on January Oath ne was ad-
vicei that in view of the circum-
stances outlined by Mr.. Gacllowski,
that the company would close down
their plant at Cass Lake completely
during February in order to switch
their business to the Washburn plant.
This will indeed be pleasing news
to the people of this city and es-
pecially to the members of the crew
of the company who have been out of
employment. S
For sometime the box and Grating
business has been SO quiet tlat only
part of the plants of the company
were operating on paft-time basis,
the Case Lake plant being so situated
while the Washburn institution was
closed down entirely. In order to
divide up the business the company
acted upon Mr.. Gackowski's sugges-
tion and have decided to close down
the Cass Lake plant and open the
plant in this city.
The Kenfeld-Lamoreaux company
is one of the few box companies in
this region that is operating, many
of the plants having. been closed down
tight, or almost so, since the first
of the year.

FAST CAME
FOR NEXT WEEK
HAYWARD TEAM COMING
HERE FOR GAME
To Play Y. M. G. A. Team. To
be Closest Game of the Sea-
son. Wasbburn Defeated
During Last Game.

One of the fastest basket ball
games which has been played in
this city this season is expected for
the evening of Saturday, Feb. 9Th,
when the strong American Legion
team of Hayward will be here to
clash with the Y. M. C. A. team of
this city.
There is strong rivalry between
these two teams because of defeat
which was administered to the Wash
burn team at Hayward during their
last clash, the score being 30 to 27.
The floor at Hayward is somewhat
smaller than the Washburn floor and
for this reason the Washburn boys
lay their defeat, but they promise
to stage come back" when they
meet in this city on Feb. 5th.

Lakes Training Station team during
the world war, is member of the

one of the fastest forwards in this
part of the state.
Manager Brown of the local quintet
has his men in training for the COM
ing contest and he says they will be
as eft as a fiddle" for the game and
will be able tooturn the trick against
the Hayward boys when they meet
in this city.
Brown says it is to be game that
will be, worth seeing and the seat
ing capacity of the large gymnasium
is expected to be taxed for the game.
A dance will be given after the con-
test.

EVERY SECTION INTEREST
ED IN CAMPAIGN
10 be Considerable Rivalry Be-
tween Different Sections to
See Which Can Clear the
Most Acres. Meetings to be
Held.

The Bayfield, County land clearing
campaign, announcement of which
was given first in the last issue of
the Times lis receiving big boost
throughout every section of bayfield,
county ard before spring many diff
ferent branches of the organization
will be formed.
The campaign is being organized
by County Agent V. E. Brubaker.
who is being given valuable assist
ance by John Swenehart, in charge
OF the land clearing department of
the University of Wisconsin, and
the bankers of the county are fur
nlshing the finances to make the pro-
Ject possible, for it is through their
efforts that a special land clearing
expert will be engaged to carry on
this department of the work.
The organization which is to be
countrywide, has for it's object the
clearing up of 5000 acres of wild
land in Bayfield, county during the
year 1921, or an average of s acres
per farm in the county.
1t is the plan to hold meetings
in every school house in the county
at which the farmers will be given
talks on ,land clearing and the or
ganization will be explained, and
orders will be taken for explosives
SO that they can be purchased in
car lots at a price much below the
price of explosives in small quanti-
ties.
Local organizations will be formed
TO become part of the general coun-
ty organization and local commit
tees will handle the land clearing
ouslness in th<ir respective COM
,munities.
The farmers of the county realize
the value of improved land over nm
improved acres and they are putting
their shoulder to the wheel to make
the movement great success.
There is nothing that means as
much to Bayfield, county as the pre-
sent movement if carried out sue.
cessfully and everyone should take
lively interest in the campaign.
Several counties in Wisconsin have
carried out the land clearing idea
successfully, thus adding wealth to
their counties land Bayfield, county
is going to show that we will also
be up and doing when the campaign
is started.
Boost the campaign in every way
possible. 1t will not only paw the
farmer but the business man as well.
There is no finer farming or dairying
county in the state than our own
county, there is no better farm land
to be found anywhere, and all we
need to do is to get rid of the brush
and stumps to make it the richest
agricultural county in the state.
We can do it. The task is not great
if everyone takes an interest and
helps.

WOULD FORCE CORPORATIONS TO PAY HELP WEEKLY
SCOUTS WIN
AWAY FROM HOME
Defeat iron River on Their
Own Floor.

Tn fast, rough and hard fought
game on the Iron River floor, the
! Washburn Scouts basketball team
defeated the Iron River Scouts on
Saturday night, Jan. %, by the score
of 21 to ~. The roughness of the
contest was due to hard, fast playing
and the cramped space in which the
game was played, rather than to any
deliberate intent to foul, but the
effect on the Washburn boys was
none the less noticeable because of
that. During the course Of the
game, the visitors learned that al
though there are number of sharp
corners, projections, pipes, etc. about
the Iron River court, bare elbows,
knees and heads are rather in
effectual tools to use in remedying
such things, as they wear out too
fast. 1t was stiff and lame team
that filed into the Washburn dress
ing roonl at the close of the game,
but it was a victorious team, and
the knowledge of that fact did more
to ease off bruised shins and take the
soreness out of cuts and scratches
than did the iodine and arnica. that
flowed feerly for the next half hour.
Washbu1n scored first, on free
throw, shortly after which Iron River
went into the lead with a field goal.
The triumph was of short duration
however, as Capt. Scoop" Haglund
soon rolled in his first double counter
and from that time on, the WashburhT
boys were never headed. They had
to fight hard all the way to hold their
lead, but that is one of the best
things they do, and their margin of
victory got steadily larger.
Morgan was not in the best of
condition, and was taken out before
the first half was over; Sheridan took
his place, and gave good account
of himself all the rest Of the game.
Capt. Haglund attended to the tar
pet work in his usual capable fash
ion, Alton feeding the ball to him
in fine shape, and not spelling oppor-
tunties by trying to shoot through
his guard. Cease and Shoresman
worked together well, and stopped
formations that looked like sure
scores.

OKLAHOMA MEN WILL ENTER
ROUNDUP FIELD IN SPRING

Roundup, Feb. 3.-That the Devils
Basin in the Roundup field will be the
scene of the greatest oil activity of any
of the Montana fields is forecast by an
article in one of the Oklahoma papers
which was received here Friday. In
this paper is expressed the impression
that we are having a hard winter
which precludes drilling operations,
but it states that large numbers of
operators will come to Montana in the
spring.
The Marland Refining Co., one Of
those mentioned, has 5000 acres in the
Roundup fields and they
their intention of shipping three rigs
here at once. The Gladys Butte, Sun,
and other companies, all hold consider
able acreage and all Of these propose
drilling this spring.
TO Drill Three Offset Wells.
By a transfer just made by the
Roundup Oil & Gas Co., six wells arc
to be drilled on their properties, while
the Tri City Co., is negotiating for
drilling operations on their large hold
ings. The Alberta Black Coal Co.,
state that they will drill three offset
wells as soon as material can be as
sembled on their holdings. John ID.
Hotf, who has been scout for the Dob
ney interests and for whom he ac-
quired a large acreage says that his
principals will also come to Montana
to drill their holdings.
