presenting the school colors while q
net work of crepe paper fencing was
placed around the hall, behind which

PROPERTY VALUED AT
$45,OOO DETROYED
Fire Occurred at 400 o'clock
Last Friday Morning and
Five Buildings and Contents
We're Burned.

Another section of Washburn's
business street was wiped out by
fire last Friday morning and pro-
perty valued at upwards Of $4,000
was almost totally destroyed. The
fire is supposed to have started in
the Estsbrook Furniture store from
some unknown cause. and when the
fire department arrived on the scene
after the sounding OF the alarm this
building was mass Of Asmes and
the building adjoining, occupied by
Mrs. Goodnough's millinery store had
also started to burn.
The fire gave out terrific heat
and it was with diff1cuky that the
firemen fought the flames, which
spread from one building to another.
At first it was thought that the brick
building Of the Moore Hardware conn
pany would stop the progress Of the
flames, but fire caught on the roof Of
this property, and the interior was
soon seething mass OF flames and
the Goedeke building to the west
was soon on fire. It was at this
point that the firemen put up a gal
liant fight and succeeded in stopping
the progress Of the fire.
On the east the Mcdonald and
Goodnough building caught fre num-
erous times, but through terrific sf-
fort the FIRE was eZtinguished and
this property was saved. The sheds
owned byJoe Veno, located across the
alley, were burned.
The buildings burned by the FIRE;
were as follows: Goedeke store.
value $25OO; Moore Hardware store,
value $500; Olson and Olson Office.
$4,000; Estabrook Furniture store.
$500; Robinson building $500; barn
owned by Joe Veno, value $500, and
damage 10 GooGnough building
100000.
There was very little salvage Of
personal property an dthe losses were
heavy, divided as follows: Helen
Goodnough $1,000, Estabrook Furni-.
ture Co., $4,000; Moore Hardware
$500, Olson & Olson $500, Wm.,
Goedeke $4,000. Slight damage was,
also done to the Robinson building.
occupied by the LaLonde barbar shop,
and Bentzen's tailoring establish,
ment.
The fire started at hour Of the.
night when few people are upon the,
street and it had gained much head
way before b eing discovered. Hun.
dreds OF people turned out to wit.
ness the blaze.
At first it was thought that only
three buildings would. be destroyed,
but when the Moore Hardware store
caught and fire jumped to the Goe..
deke building it was feared that the
entire block would burn.
The section Of the business street
where the FIRE occurred is now . sorry
looking block. A year or 20 ago
fire gutted FIVE buildings on the OPP
posite end Of the block, and today
there remains in the block only the
Arcade corner, the Ungrodt hard
ware store, the LaLonde barber shop
and Bsrtzen tailor shop and the of:es
of DR.. T. r. Spears.
The loss was only partially sov-
cred by insurance and it is not likely
that the property will be built up
for some time. When that tims
comes fre-proof property should TAXA
the place Of the wooden buildings.

BIG POULTRY TRIP PLANNED

Mr.. Brubaker, County Agent, has
planned a poultry trip to be taken
From Washburn to Balnum, Minn.,
leaving early on the morning of
June 7th. We will leave not later
than 1880 A. M. AS there has been
several poultry communities organ
lied, we expect quite large attend
ance on this trip. To date there has
been arranged for five auto loads to
go. The County Agents Of Northern
Wisconsin will be there on that day
also. Anyone wishing to go on this
trip should get in touch with Mr..
Brubaker as soon as possible and
make final arrangements. Barnum,
Mimi, has long been noted for the
great community poultry work and
people interested in poultry can well
afford to take the trip and see what
progress these new settlers have
made in poultry with only small
clearings.

PRESI. HARDING AND CHAIR
MAN JOHN BARTON PAYNE
UNITE IN APPEAL FOR FLOOD

The Chairman of the Red Cross
Chapter of bayfield, County has just
received an urgent appeal from
Chairman John Barton Payne of the
Americn Red Cross supplemented by
special letter from President Hard
ing for half million dollars TO as
sit the destitute men, women and
children striken by the floods in the
Mississippi Valley.
$1,000 homeless are being fed by
the Red Cross in the state of Miss
issippi alone and the first needs in
Illinois, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Louisiana have already been met by
an Appropriation Of approximately
100000 by the National Red Cross
organization, but it will require the
additional sum to continue the care
for the health and comfort of the
stricken people in these struggling
communities.
Our local Red Cross chapter is re-
quested to secure generous aid inn
meditely from our people in behalf
of these families without shelter,
food or proper clothing.
The fact that President Harding
and Judge Payne of the American
Red Cross have united in this urgent
appeal is sufficient indication that
the need is acute and that the CO.
operation of the American citizenship
everywhere is required to answer that
need.
We all remember when the great
food disaster in Pueblo, Colorado
overwhelmed the Arkansas Valley
with death and wreakage, how the
American Red Cross by its appeal to
the American people got response
of over half million dollars for re-
establishing the families. The pre-
sent flood covers a much wider ex-
panse of territory in the very heart
of the buisest and richest industrial
and agricultural districts Of the coun-
try.
No one can tell when a disaster,
cyclone, great fire, cloudburst or
flood will strike any community and
funds are maintained by the Ma
tional Red Gross for just this kind
of community insurance, but there
have been 20 disasters cared for by
the National Red Cross in the past
year an da half, ending June 80, last
and funds must be secured On a wider
scale to meet the urgent require
ment. The local chapter and branch
es in the counties affected by the
food have already contributed iber-
ally and to the extent of their re-
sources. This contribution is meet
ing the first needs, but naturally is
utterly inadequate in the face OF
such a great calamity.
The people of this county may be
expected to quickly respond to this
call with warm hearted generosity
and with entire confidence that their
money will be applied most sffecteive-
lly, under the auspices of the Red
Cross, for the purposes for which it
| is intended. Contributions may be
sent to Markhan's Drug Store.

SWEEPS RIVALS FLOOR,
RESULT OF CONTEST

Joseph Donovan, of Boston, en-.
joys the distinction Of having at.
tracted probably the largest and
most distinguished crowd that ever
gathered to watch any man WELD a
broom. It was so great, in fact,
that it tied up traffic in the city Of
Cleveland for an hour.
In sweeping the Cleveland sales
room floor, Mr. Donovan, who is the
Studebaker dealer in Boston, carried
out one of the novel stipulations Of q
sales contest which his forces had ar.
ranged with the Studebaker sales or.
ganization in Cleveland. It was
agreed that the loser journey to the
city of the winner armed with a man.
moth broom, and that he not only
perform the sweeping act but also
play the role of host At dinner to
the victorious sales forces.
Among the prominent Cievelanders
in attendance at the dinner were:
Mayor Fred Kohler,; Paul J. Lamb,
director of law; L. E. Skeel, pro-
sectuing attorney; Thomas G. Mar
tinec, director of public safety; w.
E. Greenland, former lieutenant
governor Of Ohio; F. H, Goff, presi-
dent Cleveland Trust Co.; Charles
Farmsworth, vice@president Union
Trust Co. and Frank A. Shepherd,
president Home savings and Trust Co.
From the Studebaker headquarters
in South Bend those in attendance in
.cluded F. S. Fish, chairman of the
board; A. r.. Erskine, president, and
H. A. Biggs, vice president, who
acted as POSTMASTER.
Mr.. Donovan's arrival in Cleveland
was marked by dramatic incidents.
AS he stepped off the Pullman, with
great broom over his shoulder, he
was given welcome by the Stude-
baker band and members Of the
Cleveland retail organization. Head
ed by the band, the car carrying the
winners and losers of the contest,
and 70 other Studebaker cars with
appropriate banners as well as
brooms front and rear, they parad-
ed through the city streets.
In the evening Mr.. Donovan en-
tertained the winning organization at
dinner. Speakers included Mayor
Kohler and Messrs. Fish, Erskine,
Golf, Murnane and Donovan. In his
talk Mr.. Goff emphasized the fact
that the public and the bankers Of
the country are recognizing the mo-
tor car as the method Of modern
transportation, and that it is max
ing for better citizenship by i'm
proving the public health through
getting people out into the open. The
Cleveland organization presented q
silver loving cup to both Mr.. Muir.
name and Mr.. Donovan. Mr.. Biggs
in behalf of The Stpdebaker Cor
poration, presented Mr.. Murnane with
a beautiful watch in recognition OF
the months record.
Promptly at 9 o'clock the follow
ing morning the parade formed in
front of the Cleveland Hotel. Head
ed by the b and, and with 50 cars
in line, the procession made for the
.Studbkeaer saleromns, where Mr.
Donovan pulled off his coat, rolled
up his sleeves and gave the floor q
real sweeping.

HIGHWAY MAP READY

The 1922 Official Pocket Highway
Map Of Wisconsin, issued annually
by the Highway Commission, is now
ready for distributor. The general
forn of the map is the same as in
1921, but several radical improve
ments have been made in the con-
tents.
This year the map not only shows
the routes of the numbered and
marked state trunk highways, but it
also shows in colors whether they
are surfaced or earth roads and their
general conditions. It is believed
that this will very much facilitate
the selection Of routes under differ
ent weather conditions and that this
feature marks a great advance in
highway map service.
There has been added large scale
map showing the eastern side of the
state where the roads are very con-
gested, so that the selection of tour
ing routes in this district is made
easy. This large scale map also
indicates types of highways in the
two colors.
These maps can be had locally
from merchants handling supplies of
this kind. If not locally available,
they may be secured from the Super
intendent of Public Property, Madi-
son, Wisconsin, at Zoe each, with
lower prices in quantity.

MEMORIAL DAY TRIBUTE

Again the American nation lays
aside it's working duties to join in
affectionate tribute to the memory
Of those who have fought it's battles
in the wars in which it has engaged.
The day, always sacred in the
hearts of the people, now comes with
deeper significance perhaps than in
the years gone by, when those honor
ed were the veterans of wars whose
memory had become blurred by time.
Now, in addition to those who offer
ed their lives for this country. in the
great struggle of the sixties, who
responded to President McKinley's
call in '98 and who fought in the
Philippine jungles to quiet the re-
belions of that territory, we
honor the later heroes, the boys who,
five years ago or four years ago,
turned their backs on home and
friends; renounced the things that
make life sweet to all and especially
to youth and early manhood, and
entered the great conflict which en-
quilted the world.
In former years we laid our wreaths
on graves within our own borders
only. Today in far off France, in
the poppy Frightened fields of Fland-
ers, tributes Of love and reverence
will be laid on American graves, nd
over the waters of the oceans, flowers
will be scattered in memory OF brave
American men who went down to
the sea in ships to fight the menace
which lurked beneath the waves.
Perhaps our sorrow is more
poignant as we adorn these newer
graves, than when we scatter flowers
on the resting place of the earlier
veterans, for time has not yet heal
ed our wounds nor dimmed the sac
rifice of these boys Of ours.
But over every grave whether it be
that of veteran fthe great re-
bellion, the fight for Cuban freedom
or of the world upheaval, there hovers
the same spirit, which has made this
country great, has protected it and
when necessary given life itself for
lit with smile, the spirit of American
manhood, the fine, strong, splendid
love of country which insures, what
ever clouds seem to threaten, the
safety and the perpetuity of our
land. 1t is this spirit to which
today we pay reverent honor, ex-
emplified in the highest form by all
who lie in flower decked soldier
graves.
In memory Of all the boys who have
made the supreme sacrifice. BY one
of the breaved families.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Arseneau
and family.
