POTATO CROP IS GOOD
Villas County Farmers Har-
vesting Tuber Crop---Yield
Is Same High Standard. u

Villas county potatoes again
prove to be a bumper crop this
season. With a good number OF
acres yet TO be dug it is safe to
state the average yield at $50
per acre. The potatoes are of
the same high standard showing
them to be one of the county 5
foremost crops.
Potato buyers are furnishing a
ready market for all farmers
wishing to dispose Of their crop
at present. Several carloads
were shipped to southern cities
last week, the buyers paying 45c
per bushel.
A. H. Stevens expects to har-
vest about 220O bushels from 20
acres judging from the present
outlook.
L. NJ Grover on his holdings
on Catfish lake has two acres of
potatoes, that for uniformity of
size, and steady yield cannot be
beaten elsewhere. They are of
the Rural New Yorker variety.
an eastern potato well known
for it's yielding qualities, and one
which does we'll in northern Wis
consin.
One thing which will mark a
material advance in the farmers
interest, and consequently the
county. is the erection of a pota
to warehouse at Eagle River. Its
location would make a market
certainty each year, and farmers
would realize more, financially,
than at present, when farmers
find individual markets for their
crops. Tie ware house would
also prom ore the growth of two
or three ste ndard varieties of
potatoes suited to this country
in preference to the many differ
ent kinds now raised.

High school football seems to
be a dead issue at present. The
team was organized and prac-
tised and played one game with
the Alumni, but there ACHE 7e
ments cease. Failure to secure
games with outside schools fur
nish no incentive for the boys to
get out and practise Prior to
this year, the high school in all
it's football history has never
failed to secure FIVE or more
games every season. However,
this year, for some unaccounta-
BILE reason, the other schools seem
to have exceptionally well-hlled
schedules with no room for Eagle
River. Rhinelander was to have
PLAYED the team the first of the
season, but at the last minute
cancelled the date to take on
Wausau. Whether it be that the
other teams consider themselves
in a class not 10 be reached by
the home team, or the reverse,
that they do not like the looks
of our husky bunch, is the conun-
drum the school boys are trying
to solve. Local football enthusl-
asts are moaning over the almost
certain fact that there will be no
gridiron contests this fall, altho
the management is trying siren
uously to stage a few games.
The results of the games play

ed and Rebuilt at County's
Expense.
Atan additionalexpense said to
be all of $7e0, strip of road
just about finished between 10
4O-10 and Sucker creek at Scott,
will have to be rebuilt.
In an interview last evening
the Villas County News was Civ
en- the following explanation re-
garding the above road by 7. T.
Nemacheck and Geo. H. Jackson
of the county road committee,
and Daniel Graham, highway
supervisor:
They claim at the time the sur
vey was made the present route
seemed the only practical
method of getting a level
road through from section
ten to Sucker lake; that when
the right-of-way had been brush
ed out and work we'll advanced,
it was then seen that the road
was full of crooks and turns.
That last Saturday, Sunday and
Monday. after investigation and
q resurvey, it was deemed advis-
able to rebuilt the road; that
after skirting the big swamp a
straight road bed would result
to Sucker lake.
When asked what the expense
to the county would be to cor
rect the mistakes on this road,
Mr.. Nemacheck said about 500
would do it.
Being asked if all the roads
now being built would be builded
as near as was possible, upon
defined lines(i. e., town and sec
ton lines) Messrs. Nemacheck,
Jackson and Graham stated it
would he done; that the aim was
to make straight roads in all
cases where it was practicable.
In reply to an inquiry regard
ing the adherence to contracts
by jobbers, they stated emphatic
ally thar every jobber would be
held to his contract and no mon
ey paid over until the road was
built according to the specifca-
tions.

The above is the gist of the
interview with the committee re-
gardiug the condition of the
south end of the Conover road
now being builded. The road as
first laid out and partially built,
is "the essence of erraticness"
so to speak-and it is a good
section to build a road through.
Why the survey was made in
such a manner the Newsis unable
to state.
The county is now spending
nearly SIS, 900 in three roads,
and has bonded itself for 100000
more wherein to build roads
throughout the county confines
beginning the year 1912. Good
roads are demanded for that
money.
We will say, in all frankness
aud with good intent to the men
who are laying out and letting
contracts for road building, that
the taxpayers of Villas county
will not stand for eccentric road
Building, but demand roads laid
ont and builded with permanency
and perfectness as the end in view.

SELLING BAKED SKUNK.
Man, Champion Skunk
 Catcher, Took 61 in October.


 Manchester, Nov. 3.-Chauncey Weir of Glastonbury has been in town delivering baked skunks. This kind IS we'll known in these parts, or rath- CT in parts of these parts.'' Chaun- cey bought the little animals from q neighbor, Ernest Langling of Glaston- bury who is probably the champion skunk hunter in the state. The few that were delivered in town were among the fourteen that were cap tured in Mapping on Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning. Mr. Langiing works during the summer in a quarry in Glastonbury, but when it comes to October he gives up work and goes out into the highways and byways looking for game, and skunk is his favorite beast. Fourteen in, one night is a pretty good haul, and the capture on Tuesday night brings the total number of catlike animals that have been captured by him during the month of October up to 61, which is going some.

CREDIT MORE
 POPULAR THAN EVER.

Even if a person could go to an ordinary store and buy ordinary clothes and not be obliged to pay for them at the time of purchase but could pay a little each week, cheer full credit would be we'll worth While but when cheerful credit is given by such a store as that of Caesar Misch
 Inc. in which the latest styles are shown as soon as they appear In New York, it is indeed big lnducement and it is no wonder that it has at tained the great popularity which It now enjoys It is credit that ap- peals to the young unmarried man, to young women but especially to the married man and woman who must provide clothing for their families and do it in such a way that the regular income will take care or the eXpendi- ture. It is almost impossible to do this when it is necessary to pay cash, for a lump sum coming out of the regular weekly income means more or less hardship, for a great many, while, if only very small amount each week is taken out, 1t IS scarcely noticed and causes no embarrassment or hardship whatever. Not only ooes cheerful credit have these advan- tages. but it has another one and that is that it provides sterling values the kind that economical housewives and men are glad to take advantage of for it means that a dollar spent on cheerful credit will buy such values as a dollar spent in no other way and in many cases It Will buy good deal more. Caesar MlSch, Inc, is not by any means a mere clothing store, it's a clothing department store where each department shows not one but many styles of wearing apparel so that every taste can be suited.

HITTING READY TO SHEAR THE SHEEP
 FOR -S-S-&-
FOR $-$-$-S

De Yer H. Warner, who is an officer in, or heavily interested in gas, water, trOlleys and rail- roads, has kindly consented to make public his control of his latest acquisition, the local Re- publican organization.
 He now says that his object in politics is to confer upon the people of Bridgeport ''the com mission form of government" presumably whether they want it not mention the referendum.
 Mir. Warmers policies" had previously been reduced to writing, and to the deeclaration that "'the Republican party is not now in a position to declare for a complete commission form of government"
 But the ''policies'' do declare strongly for a consolidated con- trol of the streets of the city, under circumstances that would make them as much part of Mir. Warmers system as his gas or water company is.
 The policies use no unheSi- tating language when they treat Of mortgaging the city, which, with exhausted credit, could not engage in productive enterprises, like the sale of gas, water, elec- trio light and transportation.
 And finally, lest there should be some doubt about it, MT. Warmers policies" put a large, long and sharp spike into muni- cipal ownership.
 If the commission form of government will delay municipal ownership of public utilities, un- douktedly it will sometime have a stronger position in the poli- cieS.
 In the meantime electors have a little common sense, and will have no difficulty in understand ing Mir. Warmers motives as the controlling factor in an or-ganiza- ton which has produced Messrs. King. Iaycry and Coroner Will son as bell wethers to lead the fleecy flock up to the shears of monopoly.
