Chicken Pie Social and Entertainment

Chicken Pie Social and Entertainment
The crowd of citizens that attended
the chicken-pie social and entertain
ment at the schoolhouse Tuesday eve
ming got more than their moneys
worth, especially those who came early
enough to get liberal share Of the
supper that was provided.
After couple of social hours at the
festal board the tables were removed,
and the audience was royalty enter
tanned with q program and two debates.
The program included recitations by
Lloyd Andrews. W. ]. Simms, Ruth Be-
saw, Velma Jobbins and Wilma Simms.
A very amusing dialog was given by
Mabel and Lloyd Andrews and Lola
Simms.
Miss Helen Ernst favored the audi
ence with solo and responded to an
encore. Wilma Simms also sang solo.
The first debate was on the question
Resolved, That the Poor Child has
More Pleasure than the Rich Child"
The affirmative was ably championed by
Ruth Besaw and Charles Vogliotti,
while the negative was strongly de-
Tended by Wilma Simms and Lloyd An
drews. The judges were DR.. Wells,
Mr.. Jewell and Mr.. Schoonover, and
their vote gave the decision to the af-
firmative.
The second debate was on the question
Resolved, That Women Should Have
the Right Of Suffrage, and the affirm
ative was ably discussed by Margaret
Frink and Lola Simms, while Amy
Simms and Joe Schiller upheld the neg
ative- Splendid arguments were given
on both sides. The judges, DR.. Wells,
Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Hobbs, cast
vote that favored the affirmative.
In both debates the remarkable self
possession and liberty displayed by these
young people, together with their dis
tinct articulation and forceful argu-
ments we'll presented, gave great pleas
ure to the audience.
Mrs. Culwell, who taught these young
people, gave short address and told of
the desire and efforts Of the pupils to
advance, commencing them highly, and
also referred to the strong attachment
that existed between teacher and pupils.

NEWS OF HOMESTEAD BILL
Chance of Measure Becoming Law

Homestead Bill Becomes Law
The conferees on the three-year home
stead bill have reached a tentative
agreement.
Their report will indorse the bill a. 1t
passed the house. providing for reduc-
ton of the time to complete homestead
entry from five to three years, permit
ting an entryman to be absent for not
more than five months in each year af-
ter establishing residence, and allowing
in case of sickness or climatic reasons
twelve months from time Of filing in
which to commence q residence.
The amendments agreed upon by the
conference committee require cultiva-
ton on each homestead entry of one
sixteenth of the area the second year of
residence, and one eighth the third year.
This cultivation requirement will also
apply to enlarged homesteads, thereby
reducing the area required by the pres
ent law one-half on homesteads of this
class.
The secretary Of the interior, upon a
showing Of good faith by the entryman,
may further reduce the area of required
cultivation in individual cases. The
conferees' meeting was attended by the
secretary of the interior and the bill as
agreed upon by the committee is ex-
pected to have the support of the inter-

Hold Up Homestead Bill to Help
Preaident

Tie much buffeted Borah- Taylor
three-year homestead bill has found its
way into the Taft campaign-or at least
an effort 10 being made to lift it there
from.
Representative Taylor went to the
senate this afternoon and succeeded in
pulling the masks from certain senators
who hold the fate of the homestead bill
in their hands. Turning from what was
all but an ironbound agreement between
the senate and house conferees to ac-
cept the bill in slightly modified form,
the former contingent, consisting of
Senators Smoot, Jones and Newlands,
has taken q stand which means the
failure Of the measure.
1t Is admitted by Smoot and Jones,
republicans, that the word has been
passed to them that Taft's chance, of
denomination is already too slim to per-
nit of an affront to the conservationists
Of the East, which, it is considered, the
championing of the BorahTaylor bill
would be.
Senator Borah, the originator Of the
homestead bill in the senate, said today
that he proposes to bring to time the
three senators who are disobeying the
will Of that body in refraining from
carrying out their agreement as con-
ferees. Inasmuch as the house con-
ferees as one of the proposed compro-
misses, have agreed to accept the senate
bill, the senators in question are in the
ticklish position of holding up measure
which the senate has passed,

AUTO PARTIES POPULAR
Overland Trips From Chica-
go and Southern Points Be-
coming More Numerous
Villas County Roads.

Autoing from the southern
cities to the resort region of Nor
thern Wisconsin is becoming
more popular every year. Three
years ago to bring an automo-
bile from Milwaukee or Chicago
] TO this north country was
thought to be impossible and to
try and take a car over the roads
of this section little short of fool
ishness. But since that time
there has been great change
ard every week auto parties ar
rive in this town from points
south of here. Road conditions
are not as bad as they have been
represented and chaffeurs who
drive their cars over the roads of
this county are surprised to find
that there are very few places in
accessible to the man with the
machine. Last season it was a
common occurrence for auto par
ties to arrive every week making
this their destination after an cx-
tended trip through the southern
part of the state.
Iflast week S showing is to be
accepted as a criterion for the
1912 season, auto traffic to this
part of the state will be greater
than ever before. Sunday. Mrs.
l.. Wallace and party arrived
overland from Chicago by auto
mobile. Monday three cars from
Chicago passed through the vii
lage en- route to the Everett re-
sort having made the trip in
little over a day. Throughout
the week several cars have made
the run over from Rhinelander
and last week an auto party ar
rived from Plymouth, Wis, all
proving beyond a doubt that
motoring through Northern Wis
consin is a pleasure just in its in
fancy and one that IS full Of en-
ioyment and enthusiasm to the
man with the machine.
Villas county during the last
few years has expended vast
sums of money on its county
highways and the benefits ofthis
expenditure are being realized by
the motorist as we'll as the IN
habitants. Summer travel thru
this region promises to increase
largely this year and such travel
means a bigger and better season
for resort owners.

HAVE 4th JULY REGATTA

fla Z +tn JULY REGATTA
Water Carnival Would be an
Ideal Celebration for In.
dependence Day~--Review
of Power Craft and Aquat.
ic Sports.
Three weeks from tomorrow
the nation will be celebrating
independence Day, July 4th, and
already in every village, town
and city where patriotism is
found, arrangements are BEING
made for observance of the dav
either the good old rousing ceie-
rbration of past days or the safe
and sane one of modern years.
Last wear Eagle River had no
celebration. is it going to be
Ehe same this Fourth? The town
is large enough to have a proper
celebration of the nations birth
day and there is no doubt at all
that the patriotism exists await
ang only the proper leadership
for the event.
Let's have a good celebration;
something new and in keeping
with this beautiful north couu-
try this year. Let it be a regatta.
A water carnival would be the
ideal event in commemeration
of Independence Day and would
give everybody on the lakes,
both upper and lower chains, a
chance to spend the dav in a
<nanner that would be fitting
and enjoyable to all. Such an
event would be something new
IN Fourth of July celebrations in
this town, and under proper
guidance a water carnival would
be adeparture appreciated by all.
Other cities that have water
facilities not half as good as
those found on the Eagle chain
have a regatta every year and
the event is one looked forward
to with pleasure Making
Fourth of July celebration an
event to be staged on the Eagle
river is an accomplishment that
can be well done. Get proper
men at the head of the move
nlent and detailed arrangements
for the complete program will be
made.
There is no end to the diver
slons that could be put on the
program for such anevent. There
could be review ofall the power
craft on the lakes and aquatic
sports of all descriptions Fol
lowing the sports of the day on
the Eagle river, without a doubt
launch races between some of the
faster boats could be run on the
lakes and the whole dav filled
with events of Importance. The
iauuches from the upper chain
could be invited and contests ar
ranged that would make a varied
program.
With so many launches as are
now on both chains such an
event would be full of keenest en-
joyment for all, giving resort
people and townspeople chance
to intermingle in their celebra
ton.
Talk over this kind of a cele-
bration and boost for it. Get
public-spirited men at the head
fit and advertise the fact that
Eagle River will have a water
carnival as its celebration of the
national birthday. There is no
question whatever as to the sue
cess of such an event. Boost for
it and use your influence to give
Eagle River a celebration that
will put it in a conspicuous place
on the map, admired By its
neighboring towns.
