Lime" Hoskins is sure some
scout. He's there when it comes
to taking care of or driving a
team, and has becomeso familiar
with the boulevurds Of this en-
tire northern section that he has
never been known to use a
lantern after dark. Sort of an
instinct, YOU know. Since Lime
was appointed tender Of the Dam
lake dam, down Sugar Camp
wav, he has branched out in the
poultry business. This in itself
isn't ont OF the ordinary. His
various breeds are Leghorn, Buff
Cochins, Rhode Island Reds,
Plymouth Rocks and White
Wvandottes. Dildine had heard
Hoskins brag so often about his
clock" that he made it matter
of personal investigation the
other day when out to the dam.
When asked to see his flock,
Lime scratched ishead, remark
ing: well, Frank, while my
flock int overly large in mum
bers, it's a good producer Yester-
day it the flock J laid two eggs.
Hoskin's flock" comprises one
lone biddy with a variable as
sortment of many hued feathers,
which, according TO Dildine's
reasoning, gave Lime the idea
that she was a mixture OF the
above named strains. But she s

eggs in one calendar day.

CLEAN UP EAGLE RIVER
Town Board Should Trim up
Village Streets----Summer
Visitors Despise Dirty and
Untidy Town.

Eagle River should be cleaned
up. The village streets in many
places are in deplorable con
dition that give the town an ap-
pearance altogether out of har-
monv with the beauties of this
northern country. There are ash
piles and other refuse dumped on
Railroad street. one Of the bust
ness streets of the village, and on
other streets similar conditions
can be found. When work is
started to beautifv that front
street, according to NJ. w. Hol-
lister, travelling agent for che
c. & NV. Rv.. the company
will make their plot of ground
on Railroad street more attract
i've:
Town officials should inaugur-
ate a movement to clean up the
streets of the village. A little
labor wisely placed would work
wonderful changes in couple OF
DAYS and make the town look
attractive. On, those streets
where there are grass plots, it
wouldn't take much labor or
money to keep the roads trimmed
out and the grass cut down and
the results would be extremely
gratifying to all who have occa-
sion to use them.
In ten days or less the influx of
summer visitors will commence
A neat, clean, attractive little
town has more influence over
such people than the average in
diyidual is apt to believe. and to
be accommodating and make the
town attractive and clean would
repay any effort made in that
direction. Summer people pro
vide q big share OF the revenue
for the upkeep of Eagle River,
consequently judicious catering
to that class will have its good
results to all.
Many inhabitants have civic
pride enough to clean up that
portion OF the street in front Of
their property, and such enter
prise is appreciated, but it should
be the work of town officials to
provide for the renovation Of
the village.
Beautity Eagle River It's an
old slogan but one nevertheless
full of suggestions and if applied
would have a good influence on
all who abide in or visit the
town.

MORE RECREATION FOR FARM FOLKS

families in their threshing ring togeth-
er and holding a picnic at the Glen,
and we at once expressed ourself to
the effect that it was move in the
right direction.
Why couldn't all of the threshing
rings from every farm neighborhood
around here get together at the Glen
at least two or three times during the
warm weather.
When farmers get together they find
out just what the people in Rochester,
New York, found out, they have some
very pleasant neighbors.
Neighborhood outings should be en-
couraged where the old folks as we'll
as the young folks can get together for
a general good time.
1t rubs off the rough edges, and
makes us go about our farm work
more cheerfully because of the
thought of the good time we had when
together.
And, if there is something of this
nature to look forward to, life takes
on more CHEEKY phase.
When we come in from the field of
an evening we do not feel half as tired
as we would ordinarily if there is
something in the social line in store
for us that evening.
Permit us to offer a suggestion to
the Commercial Club of Richmond:
You could do nothing that would
tend to improve the political. educa-
tional, and social status of the rural
districts around Richmond than to aid
in the social center movement.
We do not wish to infer that Wayne
county is backward, and that it has
no spirit of progress; because it is
we'll known fact that there are no far
mers anywhere that possess higher
degree of intelligence.
But we do know and do say that
there is much room for improvement
in most of our rural districts along
social lines.
Why not call a meeting of farmers
at once and select some one to repre-
sent the farmers of this country at
the Rural Recreation Congress at
Cleveland, Ohio, June to the Sth.
And when that representative re-
turns have another meeting for his or
her report
There cannot be too many meetings.
We are surely as much alive here
as they are in other states.
1--WE have been treating men as
work units" said Harrington Emerson
-"as creators of energy We can buy
energy cheaper, what we want is intel
ligence and it should be rewarded"
Getting together to discuss farm
topics means more intelligent handling
of our affairs so that we can get the
work units from that which is not en-
dowed with intelligence.

RAILWAY PLANTS FOUR MILLION TREES

of last year the area which had been
numbered was 1850
acres. The railroad states that in all
of the fourteen different tracts that
have been under conservative man.
agement the fundamental object has
been to improve the forest conditions
on the properties and leave them in a
productive state. The rejuvenation OF
this otherwise worthless forest land.
the company says, will add not only
to the ultimate forest wealth of the
state, but will improve the conditions
as regards stream flow and runn-off.
An important feature of the rail-
roads logging work last year was the
close utilization and development OF
markets for by-products. 1t was not
possible to find a market for small
converted into charcoal; the total
amount of charcoal which has been
produced up to date is PIT, 200 bushels.
In addition to growing ornamental
shrubbery and trees for it's future re-
Quirements of ties and lumber, the
Pennsylvania railroad established two
tie and timber treating plants, one at
Mt. Union and the other at Green
witch Point, Philadelphia. These plants
were in full operation in 1911 and
there were treated $4,000 cross-ties,
$4,000 900 feet of lumber and timber,
and miscellaneous products equivalent
to about 100000 board feet. Reduc-
ing this to a cross-tie basis gives the
company an equivalent of about one
and one-quarter million cross-ties
treated in 1911. The total amount of
creosote used in these operations was
1892 900 gallons.
1t is believed by the management
that the conservative logging and the
forest planting which the company is
conducting on its woodlots and farm
lands will serve as object lessons for
farmers, and provide an incentive to
intelligent forest development on the
part of the public generally.

former Minnesota University football
player and is credited with doing a
hundred yards in 10 20 in football

The box score of a game between
Brooklyn and Boston played in June
1907, shows that just three of the
eighteen men that took part in the
contest, remain in the major leagues.
The Boston players were Sweeney,
Tenney, Brain, Beaumont, Bates,
Burke, Ritchey, Needham and Young,
while the Brooklyn team consisted of
Alpermann, Casey, Lumley, Batch, Jor-

Sweeney, Bates and Needham are
still in the major leagues, but not a
man in the Brooklyn lineup remains
in the big show.
