TWENTY FARMERS SEE
BARNUM POULTRY


Last Wednesday twenty farmers
from Bayfield, County accompanied
County Agent Brubaker in autos over
a large number of farms on which
were found up to date poultry houses
and all raising white Leghorns.
They are all in the commercial
egg and baby chick business and are
receiving from 6 to 10 cents above
the average market price for their
eggs which are all graded to weigh
26 ozs. to each dozen. All these
eggs must be white, clean and no
extra large or small ones.
The principal factors learned on
the trip were:
1st. The houses on all farms were
practically standard or alike in con-
struction; also equipment the same.
2ndI That straw or snwdust
pack was found in each ceiling, max
ing it cooler in summer and warmer
in winter ad also dryer and aids ven
tilation, therefore, preventing frost
in winter.
3rd. 1t pays tc market and buy
collectively.
4th. All feed was bought coopera-
lively at their warehouse.
5th. A dry mash was kept before
the laying hens and chicks.
Possibly their will be another trip
arranged for our poultry men the
last of June SO those can go who have
not been able to go before.

IS HIGH HERE
INCOME ASSESSOR SAYS
RATIO is TOO HIGH
Writes Interesting Letter to
Assessors Of Bayfield, County
Showing Ratio of Sales to
Assessments.

To the Assessors of Bayfield, County:
We have prepared and are enclos-
ing a schedule of bonafide sales and
their ratio of assessed to true value
for the year 1921. This list is not
complete. Information has not been
received in regard to some sales but
you will be able to tell what your
real estate assessment for 1921 was
like. Whether too high, too low, or
about right.
You will notice that the slump in
values in the city of Washburn is re-
fected in its sales. With no increase
in assessment the ratio of assess
ment to sales is 1888 per cent. The
situation in this district requires
careful work by the city assessor.
The over-valuation of wild lands
in Russell and Tripp towns is shown
in their sales ratio. The situation
has not changed materially in these
districts in two years.
The ratio for the county is excel
lent, 99.824o. These figures are
not final. We feel that too much
time and energy cannot be spent in
trying to impress you with the i'm
portance of following the law and
taking sales as the basis Of your
assessment.
Bayfield, county has improved its
assessments materially, but tax
payers are entitled to careful consi-

JOINT PICNIC
NEXT SUNDAY
ASHLAND KNIGHTS TO EN-
TERTAIN OUR LODGE
And Their Families in Annual
Picnic to be Held at Memorial
Park To Have Big Time.

Sunday, June 18th, is the date set
for the annual Knights of Pythias
Lodge picnic. The members Of
Apostle Lodge Knights of Pythias
and their families. are to be the
guests of Castle Lodge, Ashland, who
will furnish the "eats" and provide
the program of amusements, and it
is to be some event.
At first it was decided to hold the
picnic at Long Lake, but because OF
the large number desirous of at
tending, and the difficulty in provid-
ing conveyance, it has been decided to
hold the picnic at Memorial Park,
and plans are being made according
ly by the Ashland boys, who will be
here bright and early Sunday mron-
ing with their truck loads of good
things to eat and with their lineup
of sports and other events for the
entertainment of their Washburn
guests.
It is to be the biggest tinfe the
Lodges have ever had together. In
former years only the members, of
the lodges were invited to partici-
pate, but this year the Ashland boys
have decided to include the families
Of the members and general invita-
ton has been extended to them to
attend.
The Washburn lodge members and
their families are requested to meet
at the Du Pont Club from which place
they will be conveyed TO Memorial
Park.
The Ashland boys have prepared q
fine program of sports which will in
clude ball game between the boys
fro mthe two lodges and also a game
between the women of the two
places. There will be prizes for
both games. Last year the Ash
land boys scooped the game as well
as many of the other contests and
the Washburn boys are determined
to get even, and the ladies from this
side of the pond promise to hold up
their end when it comes to the game
with the Ashland sisters.
Then there is to be two matches
Of "Tugof- War; one for the ladies
and one for the men.
There will also be numerous Other
contests, singing, speaking and
swimming, and above all a good time.
The Washburn guests are request
ed to bring plate, cup and knife
and fork for each person, and their
appetites, the Ashland people will
furnish the eatables.
The Ashland lodge have a red-hot
committee in charge, headed by Lew
Anderson and Fletcher Dundas, A.
c. Kamke, Lyle Reynolds, Adolph
Lokken and w. D. Coursey.

WAS A SUCCESS

The dance given by the Firemen
at the Du Pont Club last Saturday
evening was largely attended and a
neat sum was realized, which will be
used toward the purchase of an cleo
tric fire siren to take the place of
the bells now used for sounding the
fire alarm.
Before the dance the fremen treat
ed the crowds to real water fight
in which crew representing the
east end defeated crew from the
lower end. 1t was the best water
fight that has ever been staged in
the city.

deration. The burden Of taxes is
high. There is complaint from all
quarters. Farmers and business
men insist that taxes are handicap
in the operation of their work. 1t
is all the more important that pro-
perty should be valued equally.
You cannot lower taxes, but You
{. distribute them according to law
and compel each taxpayer to pay
his full share, no moreno less.
Bayfield, county is facing serious
situation. Large amounts OF taxes
are being returned delinquent. To
secure sufficient funds to function
your county is being compelled to
sacrifice part Of the taxes due.
You should carefully classify the
lands in your district. Over-valua-
ton of your poorer cut-over lands,
your sand barrens, rneans-not gain,
but loss. There is a limit in carry
ing charges on wild lands beyond
which the investor cannot go. If
taxes on these bvss go delinquent,
on account ofo pr.acticaed discrim-
ination, the imprSyed lands must
shoulder the load.
Value all proper at the amount
it win ordinarily sex for. We find
assessors insisting that some pur-
chaser paid too much, more than the
property was worth, while at the
same time we have the purchasers
statement on file in this Office stat
ing that the consideration was fair.
We have furnished you with all
sales for 1921 and 1922 to date. The
June sales will be mailed at the end
of the month. If you are not going
to complete your work until later
and want July and August sales, we
shall be glad to furnish thcsn upon
request.
IF we can assist you in any way,
if you have problems hard to solye,
we are at your service.
Yours respectfully,
PEARCE TOMKIN,

cepted for either 100 pounds or 200
pounds, but not for so or $50 pounds

distribution and then make refund

been delivered.
Every Farmer to Receive order Blank
Every farmer will be mailed from
this Office an order blank. If anyone
is omitted it will happen because his

fore, anyone not receiving an order
blank within the next week or ten
days must write to our Office for one.
First Comet First Served
There is only limited supply Of
this powder and it will depend on
the promptness of the farmers wheth-
er they will get any of this powder.
because when our allotment is all

more by the government. Be sure
and read your order blank and letter
you receive carefully before order
ing.

MANY WERE
FOUND DISEASED
Only Fifteen Persons Examined
at the Free Chest Clinic Yes
terday Were Found to be in
Good Health.

Only fifteen persons examined at
the Free Chest Clinic conducted by
the Wisconsin Anti-tuberculosis As
sociation in the Court House at Ash
land Thursday and Friday were found
to be in perfect health.
Twenty cases were rated as being
suspicious and were referred for fre-
quent examination in the future, in
order that any developments may be
arrested in time.
Nine cases from Ashland County
were found serious enough to be re-
ferred to ,Pure-Air Sanatorium for
treatment.
Three cases from Bayfield, County
were referred TO the Sanatorium.
Thirty cases Of malnutrition were
found, the majority being among
children, while the majority examin-
ed were found to have goitre and
poor teeth.
These are the startling results of
the examination for one day cnly,
when few more than one hundred
persons were examined. More than
half Of them need immediate medical
attention, and less than one-fourth
are physically fit. The results Of
the previous days work would no
doubt be the same.
Milk, butter and cheese in large
quantities and plenty of sleep are
recommended by the examining ply
sicians for those who are inclined to
be tubercular and for those who are
underweight.
A campaign for better teeth should
be started in this region, Is the opin-
ion of one of the examining doctors
Almost every person examined had
some decayed teeth, and this condi-
tion OF the mouth naturally impairs
.he proper functioning Of other or
gans. Symptoms of many diseases
were found on the examinations
from cancer to less serious ills.
Ninety-fve Ashland County resi-
dents were examined, and fifteen
Bayfield, County. 1t was Necessary
to turn away about fifty applicants
| because there was not enough time
to examine them all.
A free clinic of this kind is one o.
| the greatest aids in discovering dis
ease, and not enough commentators
can be given to the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association and those wht
aid in the clinic for their work IN
combating disease. Miss Nellie Var
Kooy was in charge Of the clinic, with
DR.. Harrington, DR.. Egan and DR.
