Arthur Taylor, the genial, soft
drinks man of Rhinelander, called
on his trade here Wednesday. We
are indebpted to him for pleas
ant call and his subscription re-
newal to 1914. Mr.. Taylor car
ries as side line an abiding fait in
the agricultural future Of Oneida
andViias counties and gave somein-
teresting statements gained from
his connection with the Oneida
County Fair Association and also
as a member of the committee
who yearly attend the State Fair
with the Oneida county exhibit,
to prove his assertions. He be
lieves that Villas county would
do we'll to make an appropriation
for the purpose of making Villas
county exhibit at the State Fair
next year. We believe the idea
an excellent one and hereby put it
before the County Board of Villas
county for their consideration.
And as one word brings on anoth-
er what's the matter with Villas
and Oneida getting to gather on
county fair, good many resi-
dents Of thio county always attend
that fair and under such a plan
many more would be attracted.
Which would likely cause Oneida
county to be friendly to such com
bination and perhaps glad to CO.
operate with us.

True and False LiaooIness.

True happiness is of a. retired ma.
ture, and an enemy to pomp and
noise; it arises, in the first place,
from the enjoyment of ones self;
and in the next, from the friendship
and conversation of a few select com
panions. False happiness loves to be
in a crowd, and to draw the eyes Of
the world upon her. She does not
receive any satisfaction from the APP
plause which she gives herself but
from the admiration which she raises
in others.-Addison

joke ON YVES
He Thought 1t Was Bob Cat Tracks
ALSO a Joke on Hod
Perkins

Hold Perkins is allus playing Jokes on
somebody and the last one he played
on Yves Woodruff, our expert hunter
and trapper. Hold took a big potato
and he carved it with his pen knife
until he made paw out of il just like
the paw of bob-cat, so that when he
would push the potato into the snow il
would leave a track there which looked
for all the world like bobcats track.
Well, Hold he went to the lower edge
of Bingville and he made bobcats
tracks along the road in the snow and
on the fence and then acrost the field
and to the foot of big oak tree with a
hole in it about 20 feet from the ground
like al if the bob-cat went up the tree
and into the whole.
Then Hold, he hunted Up Yves and
told Yves he had discovered some tracks
near town that he didn't know what
they was, but being as Yves was SIGH a
expert hunter & trapper he would prob
ably know what they was at a glance.
Yves he said he could tell the track of
anythink, no matter what it was, and
so he took his gun and went with Hold,
and as soon as he got his eyes on the
tracks he said: THAT is bob-cat as
sure as you're born--never knowed a
bob-cat to come so close to Bingville
beforeI'
Yves he follered the tracks until they
come to the tree. Then he says, 'Dod-
gasted if he amt inside that treel See
that hole where he went in I"
Hold said he did and He'd stayed by
the tree and watched while Yves went
home and got his axe and come back
all outen breath and chopped hard for
two hours, until he was all sweat up
and the tree fell with crash, and Yves
he grabbed up his gun and waited for
the bob-cat to jump out, but il didn't,
and then Yves examined the hole and
found that it only went into the tree
about foot and was empty.
By this time Hold was blame near
Dustin hisself latin and then he up and
told Yves how he had fooled him with
a potato. It would of been a good cal
better if Hod had kept his mouth shet
about this part Of It, because as soon
as Yves found out he grabbed holt of
Hold and give him a turrible wallopin
right there and BACKED one aye and
kicked him around awful until Hod hol-
Tered enough and linped all the way
home.
Hold is now talking about persecut-
ing Yves for a salt Hold Is a great
hand to play jokes on folks, but awful
poor hand to take one hisself.

when he sees automobeel coming in

this gate and require the automobeel
to go through town slow or else no;
go through, at all.
This plan viii probably wori, well

EDDYroRIUL

The law case of Amaziah Goo
kins VS.. Ranse Hil1yer and also VS.,
the town of Bingville only goes to
prove what we have been preaching
in the Bugle for 10, these many
years, namely, that it behoofs our
citizens individually and the town
of Bingville collectively to keen
the streets and sidewalks free from
snow and ice in the winter. time
even if it does cost a little labor,
We have said time and again that
Bingville would have damage suit
on her hands, and now she has got
it.
What the result of this damage
suit will be is uncertain. Amazial1
asks for $4,000 damages from
Ranse Hillyer and $4,000 damage
from Bingville, making $4,000 in
Jail. Up to the hour of going to
press Amos Hillyer, Our talented
legal light and loryer and !. of the
P, before who the case was tried,
has not handed down his verdict,
but the evidence is all in and the
verdict is only a question of time.
We felt in our bones that sooner
or later something like this would
happen in Our midst, and we have
said so time and again in this news
paper, warning OUR citizens 10 clean
the ice from in front of thei- prop
critics and urging the town Select
men to take steps to remove same
from the street crossings SO as Our
citizens would not fall and break
their fool necks.
Only last week we met Harve
Hines Our tonsorial barber, and we
told Harve that if we was in his
place we would sprinkle ashes in
front of his residence on Main
street, being as the ice was so slip
perry at that point that somebody OF
other would fall and break a leo
or something and then he would
find fisself jerked up for on charge
of falling with intent to kill OF
something like that.
Harve told us that he didn't
ca1kilate that the ice on his side
walk was any OF our particular
business, being as there wasn't suf-
lfLient ice there to do any damage
| anyhow. We didn't say anything
more, but passed on.

Ihisself. He snatched a bite o.

near busting his head open and spat-
tering his brains all over the prem
Uses, ripping his pants in the crotch
and skinning both hands up badly
on the frozen ice. Harve was a good
deal dazed and went round holding
his head most of the day. The
next day we noticed that he had
sprinkled ashes all over the side
walk.
On the other hand, take our
town Selectmen, who are Cy Hos
kins, Deacon Butterworth and Bill
Hepburn. What have they done
this winter, or last winter, or the
winter before to keep the town free
from ice? We answer nothing.
And yet it is their swore duty to
do this. That's what they was
elected to the office to do. But in
stead of looking after the interests
of the town, Cy Hoskins spends
most of the winter settin before the
fire trying to keep warm. Deacon
Butterworth spends most of his
time doing chores, and as for Bill
Hepburn he is intoxicated about
three days of the week and the rest
of the time he is busy in his black
smith shop trying to make enough
to get full on again. What do the
town selectrnen care whether the
crossings is icy or not and the resi-
dents falls and breaks their necks !?
Nothing.
We hope that the damage suits
brought against the town and
against Ranse will have a salutea-
tory effect and that hereafter not
only our citizens but also the town
selectn1en will fulfill their duties to
the best of their several abilities.
Let us have less ice in the streets
and fewer falls. It is a disgrace
to our town this damage suit, and
we ought to be ashamed of our
sells that it happened. What will
Hardscrabble think of US?
