BRITISH EMBARGO ON AMERI-
CAN WIRELESS APPARATUS

Great Britain has put into effect
for two years an embargo against
all foreign-manufactured wireless
sets. 1t is not known yet whether
this applies only to sets or also in
cludes all wireless apparatus. The
embargo is directed especially
against American and German manu-
facturers. Further the Government
will not allow aerials to be erected
except by those who have secured
a license, which will cost $3.50 each.
The Government is to turn over half
of all license receipts to the broad
casting company. Considerable at
tention has been paid to the British
position by our own National Gov
ernment, and in Washington where
the matter is discussed there are
some rather caustic comments on
sfree trade Britain" enforcing an
embargo to shut American manu-
facturers of wireless apparatus out
of the country.

GROUSE SEASON
is NOW OPEN
SEASON WILL END SUNDAY
NIGHT
Birds are Said to be Plentiful
And Many Hunters are En-
jOying the Sport.


The open season for grouse opened
on Wednesday morning of this week
and will continue until Sunday even
ing at sundown. Every day since
ile opening of the season large
numbers of hunters have hiked for
the hunting fields, but SO far local
sportsmen have failed to bring in
any large numbers.
Grouse are said to be plentiful, but
owning to the earliness of the sea-
son have not started to flock in num-
bers and for this reason hunting is
somewhat difficult.
The open season for ducks is also
on but the weather has been alto
gether too nice for good shooting and
hunters who enjoy this branch of
hunting have had to content them
selves with an occasional shot.
County Clerk Jake Yderstad has
been issuing hunting permits and
from now on his office will be kept
busy.

GOVERNMENT CAN'T
AFFORD NEW BUILDINGS

The office of Supervising Archit-
ects for the Government has given
out word that building operations
are held up throughout the country
because of the excessive cost of con-
struction. The Government has
made appropriations calling for $15,-
100000 worth of new buildings, but
the architects say that to build now
would call for buildings greatly
smaller than those called for by the
appropriations. Government au-
thorities say that a building slump
is bound to come, and they expect to
wait for it. This slump says acting
supervising architect James A. Wet
more, will take place within a year
and a half.

FAKING PREMIUMS

The Federal Trade Commission
has issued an order to cease and de-
sist against Charles Goodman, doing
business as the Eagle Safety Razor
Company of New York City. The
concern is engaged in the manufac-
ture and sale of safety razors and
shaving outfits.
The Commission found, upon in
quiry that the respondent followed
the practice of selling an outfit con-
sisting of a razor, blades, brush
soap and stropper attachment, all
packed i'm containers bearing the
legend $500, and that the respon-
dents selling price in dozen and
gross lots was from about 81 to a
fraction more than 81 for each out.
fit. The COMMISSIONS inquiry fur.
ther showed that such outfits were
sold largely to concerns who used
them as premiums in correction with
other operations, and that at the
same time the prices were marked
on the containers in which shaving
outfits were packed it was not ex.
pected by respondent that they would
be sold by the retail trade at the
price marked thereon, or that in
premium house transactions the price
marked thereon would be the value
of the articles contained therein.
The order specifically requires the
respondent to cease from marking
razor outfits bearing on containers
Thereof or ON any article within the
container any false or misleading
statements as to the selling price ol
value of such outfits.

RAILROAD STRIKE
is NOW over
so FAR AS THE OMAHA is
CONCERNED
Omaha Was One of About Fifty
Effecting a Settlement With
Their Former Employees.

The railroad strike which has been
tieing up traffic on many of the lines
throughout the country was ended
last Saturday afternoon when the
striking employees returned to their
former positions with the company.
Only three men were effected in
this city, but in other places large
numbers were out.
The Omaha railroad was one of
about fifty lines in the country effect
ing a settlement of the differences
with the men, thus bringing to an
end a strike which has been having
it's effect upon business in general
throughout the country.
Had the railroads shown the same
willingness at the start to settle their
differences with their men the pro-
longed strike might have been cut
short, for it is easy enough for Ia
Dor and capital to get together if
the owners and men come together
and talk things over in friendly
manner.
Everyone should feel glad that the
strike is settled for it will mean a
return of business which has been
retarted by the strike.

Let's all pull to make the fair a
hummer.

NO SIGNS NEEDED

Ashland county road officials should
make tour over into bayfield, coun-
ty and see the difference between
the way this county patrols its roads
from the way it is done across the
border. This ,is especially MOTTO
able on Highway No. 112 leading out
of Ashland into Bayfield, county.
Immediately following a rain the
Bayfield, county section is patroled,
while the Ashland end may go days
before it is graded, and it is not
necessary to have road sign on this
road to show the county line.
Ashland patrols her main roads
in fine shape, but some of these Sc
condary systems need attention.

Tuesday afternoon, Miss Zillner
of the United States Public Health
Service, gave two exceptionally in
teresting and instructive talks, one
to the girls of the Junior High School
the other to the girls of the High
School. Miss Zillmer Illustrated
her talk with attractive colored post
ers.
The High School is to have a
Publicity staff this year and our
local papers are to be furnished with
the news of the school each week.
The personal of the staff for the first
semester will be representatives
from each of the CLASSES and an
Editor in Chief will be chosen by the
entire school.
The management of both our pub
lie spirited local papers are giving
US splendid opportunity as students
to make a big step forward and we
hope to prove ourselves worthy of
their support and confidence in CIV
ing us space each week, by furnish
ing items of the affairs of the school
that will be of interest to the pub
lie:
The StudenS' Association have
launched a course in salesmanship
which is provided by The Curtis
Publishing Company of Philadelphia.
This course has been conducted
through more than 5000 schools and
has the endorsement of some of the
country's leading educators.
Mr.. Hugh P. Bliss, Vocational
Director for this district, delivered a
very interesting lecture in which he
demonstrated the principles of SELL
Ling. Some very worthwhile in
struction in salesmanship was gain
ed from this lecture and the students
will follow it up with actual sales
work securing subscriptions for the
Ladies Home Journal" this week
outside of school hours.
The sales earnings will go toward
the purchase of Football uniforms
which the school wants very much.
The school is divided into two teams,
the "Mutts" with Elizabeth Hawkes.
as leader, and the "Jeffs" with
Dorothy Arntsen as leader. Keen
rivalry has developed between the
opposing sides.

CITY SCHOOLS GOING
FULL SPEED

The city schools are now running
on full schedule time and all have
settled down to regular work. Punct-
ualyity, regular attendance, right
conduct, and good lessons have be-
come the slogan in all departments
of the school. Football boys are
in regular training and are being
rounded into winning team under
direction of Coach Gamroth who is
rapidly building up a machine that
will take Washburn over the top and
give her a place in the sun on the
gridiron in Northern Wisconsin.
A Boosters meeting of all the
high school students took place of
general Assembly Monday morning.
Prin. Perry and Supt. Browning
gave short talks. Mr.. Browning
stated, that with the student body
working together, with minds think
ing, and hearts beating high with
hope and with the assurance that
the schools are to receive the back
ing and support of the business men
and all others interested in the well
fare of the schools and the city of
Washburn, the Success of the school
and all school activities are assur-
ed.
He then gave the origin of the
Knockner and the Booster. He
said, when the Creator had made
all the good things, it seemed there
was still some distressing work to
do, so He made the beast, and the
reptiles and the poisonous insects;
and when He had finished He still
had some old scraps left over that
were too bad to put into the Rattle
snake, the Hyena, the Scorpion, and
the Skunk; so He put all these to-
gether, covered it with suspicion
wrapped it with Jealousy, marked il
with a yellow streak and called it 6
Knocker.
The, product was so fearful tx
contemplate that he had to make
something to counteract it; so HI
took a sunbeam, put it into the hear
of a child and the brain of a man
wrapped it in civic pride, covered j
with brotherly love, made it be
lever of equality and justice, work
er for and supporter of every gee
thing in the community and calle
it Booster; and henceforth morta
man has had the privilege of choos
ing his associates"
With Morris as leader the entir
student body joined in rousin
vociferous High School yell tha
would convince Doubling Thomas
that all in the High School were liv
yedblooded Boosters.

KILLED AT
COPPER FALLS
IRONWOOD MAN PLUNGED
OVER CLIFF
Fell Distance of Over Seventy
five Feet at the Lower Falls
and Head was Crushed.

Alvar Miller, of Ironwood, was in
stantly killed, Sunday afternoon at
about five o'clock when he fell
over the cliff at Copper Falls near
Mellen and fell between rs and 1e0
feet. His skull was crushed and his
body otherwise mangled. He was
walking along the trail between Cop
per Falls and Tylers Forks when he
walked too close to the edge and slip
ped over the side of the canyon. His
body turned over several times, strik-
ing the walls of the canyon and re-
bounding. He landed squarely on
his head and death was instanteous
The water is very low at this time
of the year or his body would have
been swept away by the river.
Miller came with a party of friends
by auto from Ironwood to see the
falls Sunday afternoon. The bal
ance of the saddened party returned
by auto while the remains of Miller
were sent to Ironwood after it was
decided not to hold an inquest. The
deceased was twenty-five years old,
was an ex-soldier and leaves a wild
owed mother.
This is the first fatal accident
which has occurred at Copper Falls
in years, since George Bye, of Mel
len, was drowned near the same place
where Miller met his death. Bye
was fishing and slipped into the
chasm and lost his life.

ROAD men
DESERVE CREDIT
BAYFIELD, COUNTY ROADS
BEST. IN STATE
Excellent Work Done This Sea-
son by Road Committee and
Highway Commissioner Fri
berg.

When roads are in poor condition
for travel there are hundreds of
people who are willing to criticize
everyone who has anything to do
with road building, but when roads
are in fine. condition for travel every
one seems to be as quiet as a mouse,
which should signify that people are
satisfied, but road builders are
only human and are deserving of a
word of praise now and then from
those who use the roads.
The Times representative has ira
veled over good portion of the
roads in Bayfield, county this season
and we think we are safe in saying
there is not county in the entire
state that can boast of finer roads
than are to be found within our own
county. 1t is true that some of the
older counties of the state have con-
crete highways in certain portions,
while Bayfield, county has only dirt
roads, but for the general run of
roads throughout the entire county
our roads far excel those of other
counties.
The fine condition of roads is
due largely to the attention given
them by the members of the Bayfield,
county road and bridge committee,
Luke LAWN of Tripp, Peter Soron-
en- of Herbster and George Harrow,
of Cable, and Highway Commission
er John Friberg, as we'll as the many
patrolmen whose duty it is to keep
the roads up in shope.
A large amount of new work has
been done on the county and state
trunk system this season, but it has
been SO carried on that travel has
not been interferred with.
Tourists who come to this county
speak highly of the fine condition
of our roads.

ing the three days of the annual ex-
hibition. The music played by the

The Washburn Band has heen COM
ing rapidly to the front and with =
little more training will be able to
hold their own with the very best
bands of this section Of the state,
1t is getting to be real asset to
Washburn and the boys can rest as
sured that their efforts are appre-
ciated by everyone.

COUNTY FAIR
WAS A DANDY
ATTENDANCE SAID TO Re
RECORD BREAKER
Officers and Directors of Asso-
citation Entitled to Good
Deal of Credit for Success of
Fair.

The Bayfield, county fair held al
the Fair Grounds at Iron River last
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, was brought to close last
Friday evening and it was one OF
the best fairs Bayfield, county has
ever held.
The town exhibits were especially
fine, eleven towns being represented
while the other exhibits were all good
The showing of live stock and poul-
try was equal to that of other years.
The officers Of the Association are
moore than gratified over the inter-
est and attendance. On Thurs
day, which was designed as Wash
burn-Bayfield Day, the attendance
broke all records, while on other
days the attendance was up to nor
NAL.
The officers did their best to pro-
vide fair weather, and covered their
exhibition with rain insurance, and
while they will collect on their policy
for the last day, yet the weather
man was especially good to them
for the day finally turned out bright
and clear and the program was not
interferred with.
The amusement part of the pro-
gram was fine. The horse races
were on the square and some lively
contests were had, while the vaude-
vile stunts were clean and above
par. The Bayfield, county amateur
acts were especially deserving of
mention.
On a whole it was one of the
most successful fairs ever held in
the county and the officers and di-
rectors say it was an inducement to
make next years fair the biggest
ever held. It can be done with united
effort.

BEE LAW VIOLATIONS

MADISON, Sept. Is, 1922.-George
Zwetzig of Fond du Lac was charged
with triple violation of the apiary
inspection law upon information FL
ed with the district attorney of Fond
|du lac County by the State Depart
ment of Agriculture today. Sale of
bees and bee supplies to two neigh
bors after a permit had been refused
is alleged. Mr.. Zwetzig is also said
to have violated an order to apply
remedial measures to cure his diseas-
ed bees.
According to C. d. Adams, Chief
Apiary Inspector of the Department
this is the most serious offense among
half dozen prosecutins filed with the
Bee Inspectors this season. The law
requires a permit or inspection certi-
fcate before bees or used bee sup
plies can be moved or sold. This
provision is the strongest hope of
the beemen to prevent the scattering
of bee diseases.
Another important case was one
against the estate of A. Laughbau,
Sr., Brownton, Wisconsin, when an
Illinois auctioneer had sold an un-
inspected apiary. Tie administra-
tor was not beekeeper and is said
to have induced one of the heirs to
plead guilty and pay the fine.
Edwin r. Zindars of Watertown
was also recently fined for bring
ind diseased bees from Dodge coun-
ty into an area which had been clean
ed up after three-year campaign.
The infected colonies were destroyed.
Jefferson county apiaries in which
bee diseases had been rampant for
nearly fifty years, were found prac-
tically all healthy this year as a re-
suit of the cleanup campaign, the
only important exception being the
newly introduced yard of Mr.. Zim-
dars.
