24OO BUSHEL SHIPMENT
Villas County Potatoes Sent
To Kansas City Ii st
Week---Crop Failure (?)

On Friday southbound freight
four cars, holding approximately
24OO bushels of Villas county po-
tatoes, were shipped from Con-
over and Eagle River. Their
destination is Kansas City Mo.
Two cars were shipped from
each village, those at Conover
being filled with potatoes raised
by Chas. Blohm and Iheo.
Christianson, and the two from
Eagle River by Fred Morev,
August Radtke and Joseph
Mavo. Messrs. Blohm and
Mayo accompanied the ship
ment. The market at Kansas
City is between soc and 81.
The above does not look as
though the crop last year was a
total failure as the skeptlcs
would have you believe and des-
pite the nine weeks drouth that
in their estimation was to be the
ruination of this section. Ship
ments have been made previous
to this to Chicago and more Will

Settlers Ask For Better Road.

EDITOR Villas COUNTY NEWS
With the opening of spring an
addition of two families will be
added to the Big Bass lake col
ony east of Eagle River. {. 6.
King of Antioch, ILL.,, who was
hel e last week, invested in eighty
acres in sections 1921 in 4O-1t,
He with his effects will arrive in
the spring, together with M. W.
Savage who purchased eighty
acres last summer. Now the
glaring need of a better road
from Anvil lake to the village is
apparent to everyone who tray
els this section, and if we are to
secure farmers who will farm
and. make a success, it appears
to me that we should have bet
ter roads-roads clear of brush
and leveled SO that loads can be
safely hauled over them. This
can be done at a small. cost on
the Anvil lake road from the
Hcrnlock to Anvil lake. OF
course this is but suggestion
and | trust the town board will
give this district relief this COM
ing spring Besides the above
new settlers | have several more
who will locate this year provld-
ing we can have a better road.
! AS the road is now. it is impossi-
bic to haul any kind of load
with safety,

been working for the advance

county capital also, without re-
Enumeration or glory-just for
the sake of showing to prospec-
tive buyers that this county has
the goods. and to show the fell
low who owns a farm here that
with push and enterprise he is
making a good "go" ofit-much
better than he had expected.

VIII This Northern Section
Enjoy Balny Spring AS
Il Did Last Year.

March 18th last year, the
srow disappeared i'll this part OF
the state. On March Goth. four
Teen days later, the lakes aud
rivers were free from ice and it
was the good old summer time
once more.
On that date, in looking over
the files of the News, we see
where O. w Savner drove from
Savner, and upon his arrival
here complained of dusty roads.
In the same issue an article APP
peared warning settlers and 9th
ers from starting fires Of any
sort in or near timber lands
This was the earliest spring re-
corded for thirtv-three years
From the present indications
we will have almost as early a
spring in northern Wisconsin
this year. Although the snow
is now two to two and a half
feet on the level it will not take
it long to disappear. The
ground, which has been covered
with snow since the first of Nov
ember, is not frozen, and will
take care of all the water. A fall
of six inches of snow came Sun
day, and, adding to what we al
ready had, made a trif1e more"

you how much these articles

Should we have been paid the
rate of SC per line by the advance

A nice. tidy sum for space, you

OF the county.
We are glad to have done SO

A BIT % NOTHIN'

Throughout the time of year
when winter turns to spring, as
the poets say, we occasionally
are the recipient of some genius
inspiration in the form of poetry
or letters seeking publication.
This week a lengthy mlsslve OF
varied nature purporting to come
from Mudhats somewhere in the
Dogtail Greek district, and bear
ing the Hackley postmark, ar
rived signed with the simple cog
nomen "Betsey Brown Allus-
ions are made to the Conover
social column that HI proven
so entertaining with It's account
of the ski turnemup" and other
events, and the Dogtail Creek
district wants to get in the
humorous ~ column OF this
sheet. This "Bit O. Nothin' " is
reserved space for such episodes
as the prevaricating writer sees
to be fit and worthy stuff, and
suggests to Betsel Brown that
she (if she be a she) emerge from
her nom de plume and enlighten
said boss of this column as to
her whereabouts and natural
history. Such would be CRATE
fully received. Fishin season
has closed and the near-story-
teller has,visions of a little rest
ere he begins, to recount tales
of next seasons whoppers. The
happenings at Mudfats would
undoubtedly furnish edifcation
and amusement in this column
during that time. Mayhap it's
another Mark Twain or methinks
a second Riley who has found
that he or she is possessed OF
literary aspirations that must be
satisfied, and has dared to run
the gauntlet of the vicious editor
But be not discouraged, Betsey
Brown. You and Tomas may
vet butt into the Bit o. Nothin
column and take your place with
| the line of near-enterta1ners and
large story tellers. But we must
first know your true name.

Among the famous sieges Of his
tory is the siege Of Londonderry,
which began on April 90, 1859, and
lasted until July 30 following, when
the forces Of James II. retired with
the loss of some 10000 men. The
siege of Derry will always stand
pre-eminent among the examples Of
human heroism. The besieged were
put to the extreme limit Of endur-
ance, famine, pestilence and the
sight Of their loved ones dying ev-
erywhere about them, but with
courage such as is seldom witnessed
among men they held on until help
came. Macaulay's account Of the
wonderful siege is one of the most
