OLD MAN DISAPPEARED
Aged Resident Town State
Line Leaves Daughters
Home in Night---Search
Party Formed.

According to the story told
by Mrs. Jacob Handles and child
rem, residents of town of State
Line, the formers father bid them
good night and presumably re-
tires, but failing to elicit any re
spouse to their summons for
breakfast the next morning, in
vestigation revealed an empty
bed and no sign of the old man.
This happened a week ago and
no clue as yet can be learned as
to his whereabouts.
The Handles family consists OF
the widow, two children and the
formers father, Frank Darigal,
who is a paralytic cripple. They
took up new farm last spring
in section Is, town AZ, range 10
on what is known as the old
hoist camps, located about 61a
miles southwest OF Donaldson.
The father had suffered two
paralytic strokes and was prac-
tically helpless, but could walk
around with the aid of a cane
On the night of Monday, Oct.
Goth, he bid them good night
and retired. The house is one
story structure, the bedrooms
being separated from the main
living room by partial partitions.
In the morning his room was
vacant, the bed not having been
slept in. Three coats and three
pair of trousers were also dis
covered to be missing. Search
as they might they could not
find any trace Of Darigal either
in the woods or the shores of the
nearby lakes. The Handles
have been searching every day
since the disappearance.
Yesterday August Darigal, a
son who has been working for
Chas. w. Fish in a camp north
east of State Line, came down
to Eagle River AMI reported the
disappearance. He did not learn
of his father being gone until
He stated to a reporter
that his father had been talking
lately of making a trip to Mil
waukee and he probably started

MISTAKES ON BALLOTS
County Boards VIII Be Re-
CURED to Pass Judgment
Upon Who Pays the Extra
Expense.

The majority of the county
boards in various counties OF the
state will be up against a ques-
ton that will puzzle a Pittsburg
ice man. The secretary OF state
sent out O. KID copy about the
18th of September to county
clerks who turned it over to the
printer to get out the required
number of official and sample
ballots for Yesterdays election.
Many of the printers hustled and
had part of the ballots printed
when notice was received that
there were several additions and
corrections to be made.
An extra printing was neces-
sarv in order to get 1T correct.
Now the question confronting
those counties who had to make
a second printing, is who STANDS
the extra expense-the state or
county
Villas county was lucky in not
being party to the mistake as
its ballots were not printed.
Dane county's clerk balled up
the county ticket and the whole
batch had to be DESTROYED and a
new set printed.

When YOU think that from to-
day on a lot of us will be toting
somebody in a wheelbarrow or
being wheeled by somebody;
that coats will be worn inside
out and hats will appear which
will knock the spots off the green
ones that are doing duty now;
that speeches will be made on
the corner in which the speaker
will apologize to the public for
voting against the man who
won out-these stunts and yet
more, you begin to realize that
a man that will bet on an ornerv
thing like an election deserves
just about all that he gets.

THE NEEDOFEDUCATION,
Postmaster Mcintyre Has
Instructions to Cooperate
With Public Schools.

Postmaster F. W. Mcintyre is
much interested just now in an
educational activity that has
been taken up by the postal de-
partment, and he is anxious
that the school authorities
become equally interested to the
end that the object sought may
be more speedily accom-
plished. One who has had
long experience as postmaster,
listening to the complaints of
the people regarding their mail
and the many imaginary-or
otherwise-faults that are charg-
ed against the service, need not
be told of the lack among the
people of education in matters
pertaining to the postal service.
In truth, the ignorance OF the
people regarding this popular
branch of the government is
amazing; and now that the de-
partmenr has manifested an in
terest in the matter Incorporate
with the schools for the instruc-
ton OF the youth of the land, the
school authorities should be
prompt to join forces with the
postmaster.
This new plan is promulgated
in the October Postal Guide and
is embodied in Order No. 1742
as follows:
"Postmasters are hereby di-
rected to confer with their local
school authorities with the view
of adopting the most effective
method Of instructing school
children as to the organization
and operation Of the postal SER
vice. These instructions should
cover such features Of the service
as the delivery of mails, the class
ifcation Of mail matter, the reg
istrv and money order systems,
and particularly the proper adj
dressing of letters and the i'm
portance Of placing return cards
on envelopes. Postmasters should
arrange, if possible, to deliver
personal talks to the pupils on
these subjects and should give
teachers access to the Postal
Guide and the postal laws and
regulation and render them every
assistance in securing necessary
information
The spirit of this order is most
commendable and school super
intendents and principals and
teachers should seek promptly
to cooperate with the depart
ment. Postmaster Mcintyre
and his assistant will be found
ever ready to do their part and
by mutual endeavor much that
is for the interest of BOYS and
girls in school may be accom-
plished. teachers, too. by inves-
tigation may learIt what they
did not know before and the re-
lation of the citizen to this most
important department of their
government in the end become
more personal and better under
stood.

DEER SEASON OPENS
Wednesday Morning of Next
Week it Will Be Lawful to
Secure Two Deer By the
Use of a Gun.

1T shall be unlawful to hunt
take. capture or kill, by any
means or IN any manner, or to
pursue with the intent to hunt
take, capture or kill any deer be
tween the thlrtieth of November
and the succeeding tenth dav Of
November of the succeeding
year"
Beginning with the closing
stroke of the family clock at mid
night Tuesday of next week it
will be lawful to open up and cut
loose. with any fire arm held from
the shoulder at arms length, and
bag two deer of any gender to
the resident hunter and one to
the nonresident.
Every year when the open sea
son is on for deer, there has been
a useless taking of human life
through the carelessness of men
who claim to be hunters but who
do not know enough to handle a
loaded gun; who should be
tied up as they are a menace to
the able hunter in the woods who
understands that he must be
absolutely certain that it is a
deer he is aiming at. This section
has been lucky in not making the
mistake that man is a deer in
the hunting season in former
years.
Last year there were 927 hunt
ing licenses issued by the county
clerk. Up to yesterday 7OS were
issued for the present season.
Of that number II ladies have
secured permits to shut their
eyes. pull the trigger-and miss
the deer. They are:
Eagle River-Mrs. Jos. Boaze,
Mrs. N. A. Colman.
Mary Chabrison, Mrs.
Frances Froelich. Mrs. Kate
Hunter, Mrs. Nora Meloy, Mrs.
E. Backus, Mamie Surges.
Fosterville-Mrs. Jennie Jake
wav, Mrs. George Nelson, Mrs
Margaret Thomas.
Hacklev-Carrie Mccullough.
Trout Lake-Gertrude Coon.
Winchester-Mrs. Leroy Jake
way.
Oxley-Mrs. H. Pope.
Donaldson - Mrs. Harriette
Silsbe.
Arbor Vitae-Susie Rae.
Two hundred carcasses of deer,
mostly bucks, were shipped from
Eagle River last year. Accord
ing to old hunters deer will be
more plentiful this year on &C
of 50 few females being killed by
the hunters. The damage done
to the hunting district by forest
fires this fall was very slight as
the majority of the swamps, the
feeding grounds of deer, are still
intact.
