1t is stated that the large cata-
logue houses experienced
shrinkage in business the past
year amounting to $40, 100000
This was mainly due to the
greater activity and systematic
efforts put forth by the retail
men and their trade journals all
over the country. This is graf
flying to the retail trade and
indicates one of the most effective
ways of combating the cata-
logue houses and of keeping
trade at home. If the retail mer-
chants would realize more than
some of them do, that what the
catalogue is to the mail order
houses. that the home papers
are to local merchants, the bust
ness of mail order firms would
show a still further decline to
the great gain of the home trade
and the prosperity of the home
town. Business firms have tried
all kinds of advertising, but ex-
perience proves that the most
profitable is attractive and liber-
al advertising in the local paper.

Shorty can beat all his predeces-

story. 1t is a genuine story
every time, too, with a hilarious
ly funny plot and with charac-

the honor of having discovered
Sewell Ford's powers as a hum

filled with good fiction and timely
articles every week, written by
many of the most noted authors

able to overshadow the perennial
interest in the Shorty McSabe

ond week throughout the year.
Wherever you go you will hear
people talking and laughing over

SPECIAL ELECTION

Next week the local Eagle
River papers will contain a call
for special election.
The question to be voted upon
will be the granting OF electric
power to Klein & Van Nostrand,
the initial industry which has
located in Eagle River for the
purpose of manufacturing alu-
minum products.
The concern will not ask any
thing out OF reason in their ap-
phcati ton for power. In fact the
Otter Rapids dam was builded
for a purposc-that purpose
being the granting of product
to any legitimate concern who
would come in with us and tend
to assist in developing the village,
town and county; induce immi-
grafton; take up surplus labor
and distribute waee-money
among those firms who are in
business for the purpose of dis
posing of everyday necessities to
those toilers who secure work
from industries brought within
our confines by a trifling bonus
which the town has given them.
In this date and age when
every city and hamlet are striv-
ing in various ways to secure
the location of manufacturing
concerns, it is a we'll known fact
that in order to land one or
more a bonus of some sort must
be given-either in money, site
or power privileges.
Eagle River has the power
The power has remained idle for
period of fourteen months, ex-
cept that portion given to and
utilized by the Eagle River Light
and Water company.
The building up of Eagle River
(village and town. hinges upon
whether or not the voters see fit
to assist or whether they remain
in lethargic condition.
If the proposition of granting
this power to Klein & Van Nos
trand is voted down it will mean
utter destruction to any future
hopes ofbuilding up Eagle River.
