giving early service and particular
attention that milk and cream arrives
at the homes early in the morning.
All milk from this creamery will
be thoroughly pasteurized and will be
put up in bottles under the cap label

veral of the best farms in this region
will furnish the milk and cream for
this branch of the business.
Manager Hanson Of the Chequame-
gon Creamery says this concern is
in the milk business to stay. Last
year the plan was abandoned because

overcome, and hereafter delivery ser

the year.

MONSTER CROWD
ATTENDS BALL
MOST SUCCESSFUL EVENT
EVER GIVEN IN CITY
More Than Six Hundred People
Attend Annual Charity Ball
Given by the Brotherhood of
Railroad Employees.

One of the most successful charity
balls ever given in the city was held
at the Du Pont Club last Friday
evening, being given by the Brother
hood of Railway Employees Of
Washburn. More than six hundred
people attended the event, taxing
the capacity of the hall, but every
one had the best kind of a time de-
spite the crowds.
The interior Of the hall was pretti-
ly decorated for the occasion, stream
ers of flags, etc. hanging about the
ceiling and walls.
The dance was out of the ordinary,
inasmuch as there were a number Of
special numbers given between inter-
missions, and the music was furnish
ed by Several orchestras, each play
ing portion of the time.
Dancing opened at fine o'clock
with an orchestra from Ashland fur
nishing the music, and this lasted
for time, when Chauncey Mills
of Ashland, bandmaster, rendered a
very fine cornet solo. Dancing was
again resumed for time and then
a number was put on by Miss Buck
anan of Ashland, consisting Of
Scotch costume dancing and the
sword dance. This number proved
pleasing to the large audience and
the dancer was greeted with much
applause.
Intermission was thel given for
short space and a combined orches-
ira of nine pieces from Washburn
played for time, being followed
by other orchestras as the dance pro-
gressed. There was not an idle
moment from the time the dance
started until it ended in the wee
small hours of the morning.
Practically the entire proceeds Of
the party will 60 to charity, the hall,
the printing, the music and the
special features having been donated
for the occasion, so that more than
$500 will be turned into this charity
fund to be expended where needed.
The Railroad boys want to thank
everyone who helped to make this
dance the success it was. They
especially want to thank the persons
taking part, as well as those purchas-.
ing tickets, and especial thanks to
the crew at the XII factory who came
through with tickets almost one
hundred per cent.
1t was a great party and everyone.
had the best kind of time.

PRICES LOWEST HERE

A short time ago The Times was
given two jobs of printing to exc
cute for a firm having two plants,
located in different cities. One Of
the plants had ordered the same
jobs from a large printing establish
ment in one of the larger cities,
while the other gave the work to
The Times.
The manager of the plant giving
the printing to The Times, being q
fair man, who would just as soon tell
us if our prices were low as he would
complain if the prices were high
came in this week and laid before US
the invoices for two jobs. The jobs
were identical, the paper being OF
equal value, and on the work gotter
out by this Office the bill was $63.1O
while the amount charged by the
larger concern was $93.90, a saving
Of $1,000 by having the work done
in Washburn.
This man said he could always get
his printing done for a little less al

fact for all his business is coming
this way.
To interested parties we will give
the name of this firm whose manager

BASE BALL men
HOLD MEETING
DECIDE TO HAVE TEAM TO
REPRESENT WASHBURN
Hugh Ross Elected Manager for
The Coming Season. Asa
Wiley to Head Team as
Captain.

A meeting of base ball fans and
base ball players was held at the
Du Pont Club on Wednesday evening
of this week at which plans were dis
cussed for team to represent Wash
burn during the coming year, and it
was decided that if the merchants
and others would give the team fin
ancial backing that strong team
could be developed.
Hugh Ross, who so successfully
piloted the team last season, was
again chosen to head the organiza-
ton the coming year, and Asa Wiley,
that veteran of the diamond, was sell
ected as the Captain. The Secre-
tary- Treasurer will be chosen from
the the team as soon as it is organiz-
ed.
1t was planned to have the business
firms of the city purchase uniforms
for the players, the idea being to
have the name of the firm printed
on the back of the suit which he pur-
chases, this advertising to be carried
by players during all of the games.
The idea is to develop an interest in
the players and to encourage them
to make a showing in the suit in
which they play. 1t is thought that
the costs of suits will amount to
about $1,000 each.
Plans were also made for raising
funds to finance the organization
and the Manager appointed Arthur
Nelson as chairman Of the Social
Committee to arrange for the first
benefit dance to be given for the
team. Other money raising stunts
will be announced later.

BUSINESS GROWING

Manager Hanson of the Chequame7
gon Creamery reports that business
at that institution is showing a re-
markable increase, and for the
month of January the increase
amounted to 300 over that of the
same month a year ago. The in
crease for the year was about 25ac
over that of year ago. This is
indeed a good showing for the local
creamery and speaks success for that
institution.
The Chequamegon Creamery is a
cooperative affair owned and con-
trolled by the farmers of the Wash
burn region. They have one of the
most up-to-date creameries to be
found in this part of the state and
their buttermaker Mr.. Hanson takes
many of the prizes for the high
quality of the butter made at this
institution.
"Better Butter" as the brand is
called, is gaining prominence through
out the country and several concerns
have endeavored to get contract fol
the entire output of this creamery.
This creamery was started May
1st, 1919, doing business in the ole
creamery plant, but due to the heavy
increase in business was compelled to
build new building which now
houses the present factory.

FARMERS SCHOOL
AT THE JUNCTION
One is being Planned to be Held
at the Experimental Station
During the Week From Feb
27 to March 4.

Arrangements are being made fo1
Farmers School to be held at the
Ashland Junction Experimental Sta
tion during the week February 27 to
March A, for the benefit of Ashland
and Bayfield, County farmers. The
complete program has not yet been
made out, but many things of inter-
est will be discussed at the meeting.
Last year a two day school was
held and after that, $50 farmers sign
ed petition asking for months
school this year. AS the finances of
state at the present time do not al
low this undertaking, only weeks
school will be held.
According to Co. Agent Brubaker,
it is hope of those interested in
the welfare of Northern Wisconsin,
to establish a branch school of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture in
this part of the state. Few North
Wisconsin farmers are able to attend
the short course at the University,
because of the distance they must go
and the expense incurred in travelling,
while many could attend a branch
school not far from their homes.
The plan of a branch school in
Northern Wisconsin Will probably
not be realized for five or ten years,
or may be longer, but a step toward
it is being made by establishing a
weeks course for farmers.

BAY TEAMS TO
HOLD CONTEST
ASHLAND. YMCA TEAM IS
SUES CHALLENGE
Which is Accepted by the Bad
ger Club Team of This City
And Game is Scheduled for
Friday Night.

There is going to be fur flying at
the Du Pont Club gymnasium on
Friday evening of this week when
rival teams meet. The big game
of the evening is between the
Ashland YMCA team, challengers,
and the Badger Club team of this
city, while the preliminary contest is
to be between the Houghton Athletic
Association and the Enterprise Club
All-Stars.
In writing for a game the Ash
land team made the statement that
they had met and defeated eight
teams and could defeat the Badger
Club team of this city if given a
chance, and the Washburn boys i'm
mediately notified them to come for
Friday evening, and that they could
show them a thing or two about the
science of basket ball
The Ashland Y team is known to
be strong one, composed Of form
er High School players, who know
the game, and with their playing this
season have rapidly rounded into
shape again and will make formid
able appearance. On the other
hand Washburn fans know the ability
Of the Badger team and figure they
will be able to take care of themselves
against any team Ashland might
send over.
The preliminary contest is between
farmer boys from the towns of Bay
view and Washburn. The feeling is
running high between these teams.
Last Sunay game was staged at
the Tammond Dairy barn in the
town cs Ba.'viaw in which the Enter
prise C-1b team came out victors by
a score of 26 to 16. That defeat
burned deep into the boys from
Honghton and they are anxious for
revenge. The dope is that the Ham
mond barn has seen the midnight oil
burned almost every night during the
past week and that the boys from
Houghton are going to spring SEN
sation on their opponents when they
meet next Friday night.

County Pays Out Large
Sums For Wolf Bounties

$356.00.
In addition to the amount paid by
the county the state pays an equal
amount so that the amount received
by hunters, trappers and settlers of
the county for the two months
amounted to $4,000.
Wolves have been unusually plenti-
full in Bayfield, county this season
and have become so bold as to come
within the city limits in quest OF
game. Most of those killed are of
the brush variety, while few have
been large timber wolves.

SCOUTS ANNEX
!. TWO MORE
Scores Very Close in Both
Games.

The Scouts tackled double bill
last week, meeting the Ondossagor
High School team on the Barksdale
floor last Friday evening, and the
Boys Athletic Club of Ashland, at
the Du Pont Gymnasium on Saturday
Both games resulted in victory for
the Washburn boys, but only after
the hardest kind of playing, the
game being decided by single
point in each case.
In the Ondossagon game, the
Barksdale boys made supreme effort
to win, and very nearly succeeded.
They started scoring first, and Bar
ony and Hare each rolled in one be-
fore the Scouts could connect with
the baskets. The weight of the
Barksdale forwards and center was
big asset to them on their small
floor, and at times simply overwhelm-
ed the Scout defense. The Wash
burn team slowly forged in to the
lead land at h alf time they led by
the score of IA to IL.
In the second half, the Ondossagon
team came on the floor with renewed
determl lnationi and did their best
to wear down their lighter opponents.
The referee was new at the game,
and called only one personal foul
during the game, and while he was
not partial to either side, his fail
ure to call fouls for charging and
blocking on both teams resulted in
some pretty rough playing. Dur
inb the period, the lead see-sawed
back and forth, and it was anybody's
game until the whistle blew, with the
score standing at "a to % in favor
of the Scouts.
For the Barksdale team, Barony
and Heglund starred, both proving
very hard to stop. Lindahl, their
tall center, who is generally a big
factor in their scoring, was so busy
trying to follow Sheridan that he
never counted once; Chick not only
scored two baskets on him, but. in
suited him by getting the top almost
every time. Haglund and Alton
played fine game, as did Soshea al
csd-os, flao Idafanon

some pretty teamwork by Alton and
Haglund resulted in two baskets, and
Alton and Cease each dropped one
in from the center of the floor. The
half ended at IL to in favor of
Washburn.
At the start of the second half,
the B. A. C. team uncorked some for
nation which resulted in three bas-
kets in pretty short order, and it
looked as if they would shortly re-
peat their victory of last year. AL
ton was pulled back on the defense,
and the whole Scout team became very
.cagy and cautious; and as Ashland
had been playing a five-man defense
right along, the game slowed up
some, from the spectators view
point, as there was no more specta-
cular stuff. But there was no less
strain on the players. Point by
point, Ashland cut down the Scouts
lead, until the score stood at IL to 18,
when the whistle blew. An extra
period of five minutes was played,
during which the defense was so
tight on both sides that nobody had
half a chance, at basket. One foul
was called on each side, and Alton
made the Scout chance good, while
McCune missed for Ashland, and the
game was over.
La Flambeau and McCune played
a peach of game for Ashland, and
Barnhart certainly held up his end
The Ashland boys put on fine exhi-
bition all around, and again proved
their clubs reputation for good
sportsmanship. For the Scouts, AL
ton played one of the best games
he ever showed land his steadiness
from the foul line was directly re-
sponsible for the Scout victory. Cease
played the whole game for the first
time this year, including the extra
period, and he never let Bob Nelson
get smell of the basket. Referee
Bell made both teams toe the scratch
calling IL personal fouls on each
team, very few of which were due tc
any intention to foul.

BADGERS WIN
AT MELLEN
PILE UP TWO TO ONE SCORE
SATURDAY
Small Court Makes Playing Diff
ficult But Local Boys Soon
Get Unto Kinks and Pile Up
Scorers.

The Badger Club basket ball team
journeyed to Mellen last Saturday
where they played the strong City
team from that place the same
evening, winning the game by a
score of 29 to Is.
The hall where the basket ball
games are played at Mellen is a
small one, much smaller than the
Washburn boys are accustomed to,
and when the game first started the
boys had difficulty in Judging dis
tances, which kept their score from
piling up, but. after playing for a
time this difficulty was soon over
come and the score began to roll up
in favor of Washburn. The small
floor also caused the game to become
somewhat rough at times but with
the fast playing indulged in by both
sides this could not be avoided.
The regular five from Washburn
played the game throughout, while
Mellen run in three substitutes, but
even with fresh men they were unable
to make their battle count.
Jack MacRae lost a tooth in the
fray, but otherwise the game was
without accident. The Washburn
boys say the treatment accorded them
at Mellen was fine.
