A big meeting of persons in terested in the Anchor Ship building company was held at the Commercial Club rooms last Thursday evening. / “Gun” Smith the Superintendent of the plant to be erected, in this city, was present at the meeting and gave a very fine talk in which he told of the plans of the new company and said it was their intention to begin work at once on the erection of the yard and that the company would begin building boats within thirty days from the middle of April of this year. “Gun” Smith is a man of thirty-six years experience * in the shipbuilding business. He was until recently connected with one of the big yards at the head of the lakes and he left the* employ of this company to come with the Anchor company where he will become heavily interested in the new company. Mr. Smith convinced his listeners that he knows the ship game from start fo finish and he also outlined the plans whereby the company expats to.*?egin the building of boats during 1919- He said that from the start the company would employ from 200 to 500 men and when the big yard was in opera tion that upwards of 1000 men would be given employment at good wages. Mr. Smith is thoroughly con vinced that Washburn will have one of the best yards to be found in the United States and he said that it would be so equipped that it would not fear competition when there was a slackening of the shipbuilding after a num ber of years. ■ Nor.

BECAUSE if nobody belonged to the church, there would be no church; and if the church left town, I would want to leave on the next train. BECAUSE, if I share the blessings and privi leges of the church, I want to be square enough to have a part in its work. BECAUSE, as the greatest organized force for righteousness in the world, it offers me a better chance for the real service of hu manity the world over, than any other institution.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF WASHBURN MUCH MONEY LOANED FARMERS Through the National Farm Loan Association Farmers of This Vicinity are Placing Their Farm Loans Through Government. The annual meeting of the Washburn National Farm Loan Association was held at the Com mercial Club rooms in this city on Friday of last week when officers for the ensuing year were elected. The officers are as follows: President, James N. Kinney Vice-President Frank Dilree Secy-Treas. Andr. Berge Directors S. E. Swanson, Jas. Roberg, M. J. Raarup. Loan Committee, J. N. Kinney F. Dilree, M. Raarup According to the report as read at the meeting there has been loaned to farmers in this vicinity a total of $841,000 since the association was organized. Loans totaling $84,000 have been made this year with applications for much more which have not as yet been acted upon.

The officers were authorized to co-operate with other branches in Northern states in securing a modification of the ruling.

GRAIN SHOW BIG SUCCESS Bayfield County Cops Most of tbs Prizes at Tri-County Show Grain Samples Among the Finest to bt Found in the World. Many Attend. At the Annual County Agent Conference at Madison in Dec ember, Professor Delwiche and the County Agents of Ashland, Bayfield and Douglas Counties met and it was proposed to hold a grain show at Ashland Jet. on January 18th. It was thought that if the farmers of the three counties could be brought to gether, it would do a great deal to advance the growing of pedi greed grain and advertise the quality of the seed gram of the Lake Superior region. The ex hibits were to consist of peck samples of wheat, oats, barley, rye, peas, beans, corn and clover seed. The number of samples ex hibited was far beyond the ex pectations. Over two hundred samples of grain were entered for the show. The quality of the samples were of the very best. In fact the judges report that they never have seen the equal in the p v exhibit. The number of entries was larger and the quality far better than any exhibit at the State Fair. The exhibits of wheat and beans were also large and of high qual ity. Many iflHnbifOTßrofh the threa counties were present at the show and had an opportunity to meet the farmers from the otner counties, who are engaged in the raising of seed grain. They talked over the ways of standardizing the varieties best suited to this region, which would be Well for them to raise Hi order to make these counties noted for their seed grains of the very best quality. Kisers Leave Paul Kiser and family left on Wednesday evening for Deep water, N, J. where he will con tinue employment with the du- Pont company. Washburn peo ple are indeed sorry to see this family leave the city for they have come to be looked upon as old time residents, Mr. Kiser came to this city many years ago and lias gradueliy worked himself up at the plant until he was holding one of the big posi tions at the Barksdale plant. His wife was formerly MUs Johnson, a teacher in the public schools, and also well known in the city. This family have a wide circle of friends who re gret to see them leave and we hope that conditions will so shape themselves with the du- Pont company that Mr. Kiser will be returned to this city. Met Their Waterloo The Alumni Basket Ball Team of this city again met defeat at the hands of the Union Club of Ashland at the basket ball game played at the Opera House last Friday night.
