New Machinery at Power Plant

Material has arrived for the
changing over of the generator
at the municipal power plant at
Otter rapids, from closed to an
open slot system. Heretofore
when coil burned out it would
necessitate the closing Of the
power plant for week while
new coils were put in. During
that time the steam plant would
be put in operation, using direct
current, and the business estab-
lishment using a motor is COM
PEELED to remain idle until the
change is made. With the new
system a coil can be changed in
a few minutes. The changing of
the system will begin as soon as
the expert arrives, possibly with
in a week.

BASEBALL FODDER

Camp Winnepe took the second
of the series from Eagle River
out on the Camp diamond Sun
day IN the fastest game of the
season. Ideal weather conditions
put the in6eld in perfect shape
which made fielding fast and
snappy. And the teams had lots
Of pep from the start right thru
to the last Of the ninth when
Winuepe scored the winning run.
Eagle River played a game
that kept fans on their toes.
Frankel pitched great battle
and had good support which
weakened at a couple of critical
points that were costly. But
when it is taken into considera-
tion that the Camp team prac-
tees ball almost daily and the
home team never see each other in
practice from one game to the
next it's no wonder we are proud
of their accomplishment Sunday.
1t goes to show what team the
town could have were regular
practises possible.

IT'S BULLY GOOD CROPS

Authentic Observations Show
Crop Conditions to Be of
the Best Plum Lake Far
mer "CalIs" Griffith See
Display in the News Office
Window.
Griffith, the man of theoretical
proclivities regarding reforestra-
ton of Villas county, has missed
one grand opportunity by not
securing an affidavit from one
town of Plum Lake farmer re-
garding the non-productiveness
of the soil. 1t seems that when
the forestry people were securing
from farmers in the towns of
Plum Lake and Arbor Vitae affi-
davits that there was not over
20 percent farming land in that
district and that it was almost
impossible to raise a crop, they
accidentally" missed one home
maker who can knock their as
sertions into a cooked hat.
See the display in the Villas
County News window. It's
authentic and is from this farmer
in the town of Plum Lake.
Seven years ago Charley Mau
landed in Sayner with his family,
having bought an eighty acre
farm in section 32-41-8. 1t was
all trees, brush and stumps. He
was short of money but had an
abundance of courage. He be-
lieyed the jungle" would pro-
duce crops. 1t has. Today he
has about thirty acres under cul-
tivation, He has an 8-acre oat
field that is a dandy, and IL
acres of buck wheat new ground)
that cannot be beat; harvested
eight ton of clover hay off of four
acres and a second crop almost
as good will be cut
Mau's speciality is truck gar
dening. Out of an acre and a
half hesupplies about twenty-five
families on the lake during the
summer. Besides this Mr.. Mau
owns a portable saw mill and
a threshing outfit.
A mile north of the village of
Sayner is Charley Mau's farm;
about a mile west across Plum
lake is a group Of forest rangers
cabins. Draw your own con-
illusions as to whether or not
Mau's farm isn't in the reserve
belt and almost surrounded by
state land.
If Mau has a good farm isn't
it possible that there is more
good land adjoining, which the
state owns and which it says is
unsuitable for farming
Over in section 33-41-6 town
of Arbor Vitae, lives John Han,
son. On this Ill OF farm fright
in the heart Of Griffith's poor
land is to be seen right now as
good a crop of growing oats, po-
tatoes, buckwheat and other
stuff as can be found anywhere.
And we can prove it.
Peter Hedeen wants to have a
talk with Griffith or some of his
coherts just about now-wants
to see them badly. He's got the
goods.
Mr.. Hedeen has a farm in
section 21-41-1O in the town OF
COnover, in a section where there
are about seventy other loyal
farmers. Peter afirms that his
