Villas COUNTY AWARDS
Made Very Creditable Show
ing at the Potato Growers
Convention Held at Grand
Rapids Last Week.

At the convention of the Wis
consln Potato Growers associa-
ton held at Grand Rapids Nov.
1920 Villas county gave good
account of itself for a section so
young in the potato industry
County Representative Oscar
Ounderson and Amos Radcliffe
had charge of the Villas county
EXHIBIT tor which the county
board of supervisors SO gener-
ously appropriated funds last
tall. In reply to inquiry Of a
News representative Mr.. Gunder
son had the following to say iii
regard to the potato show:
Last week was the potato
show and convention at Grand
Rapids, probably the greatest
potato show ever held in the
world. The exhibits were fine
and the northern counties car.
RED away nearly all the prizes.
Villas county ranked eighth in
county exhibits and we took
serial prize Of $500 on Rural
New Workers and fifth on Tri-
umphs.
ct takes a year to learn how
to select exhibit stock. While the
impression has been conveyed all
summer that market stock of 6
to s o. is the choice potato, the
show was Judged with potatoes
weighing 10 to II or as favor
ties.
"As an instance of how strong
the competition is, one farmer
with 1 900 bushels of Rurals Sc
lected 80 bushels of show stock
carefully. These 80 bushels were
then sorted again and one-half
bushel selected for an individual
exhibit This one half bushel
took FOURTH place in Rurals
There were about sixty entries
in this class.
1.-The show emphasized the fact
that Rural New Workers and
Green Mountains are the two
great commercial types of pota-
toes and farmers ought to raise
one or the other ofthese for their
late potato"
The fact that the northern
counties carried off the majority
of prizes is strong argument in
favor of the development of
Upper Wisconsin. Those who
have foreseen the agricultural
development Of this end of the
state have good reason to be es-
pecially optimistic over the out
come of the potato show because
that industry represents but one
phase of a wonderful growth
that is surely proving the saliva
ton of this region.
Villas county has every reason
to look with pride upon her
achievements at the show. When
a county so young and SO little
developed as this one is, can at
tain such results in SO short a
time there cannot remain a
doubt even in the minds of the
most skeptical as to the ultimate
prosperity in store for Villas
county.

MAY END DEER HUNTING
For Five-Year Period-Num-
Der Decreasing Annually in
Spite of Many Assurances
Otherwise Many Hunters
Favor Plan.

Agitation in favor of further
protection of deer may result in
Legislation forbidding the kill
ing of deer in Wisconsin, for a
period of five years.
A definite movement is on foot
to secure legislation of this char
acter, and the movement has it's
origin in northern Wisconsin
where the deer are to be found
and originates with people who
have given the subject careful
study and have decided that no
other plan that can be offered
will prove an effectual protection
to the deer.
1t was not the intention to
make public the fact that an
effort is to be made to secure a
fve-year closed season for deer
at this time, but owing to the
publication of plans for the fur
Their protection of deer in Wis
consin it WAS finally decided to
make public the fact that a
movement was on foot for a FIVE,
year suspension period for deer
hunting.
1t is said a large number of
leading northern Wisconsin men
who are interested in the preser-
walton of the deer are in svm-
pathy with the movement and
will indorse legislation of that
character It is evident that if
the deer are to bereally kept and
protected there must be a closed
season of at least FIVE years in
which to allow them to increase
in numbers.

Another plan which lends it
self very favorably to people in
the northern part of the state
who advocate game preserva-
ton is that of legisla ton requir-
ing hunters to hunt in the county
of which they are a resident.
This would limit deer hunting to
practically only four or five
counties in the state and would
cut down the number of deer
killed each year to a much small
err figure. This could be modified
by having an extra fee imposed
for those who wished to hunt in
other counties. This would not
protect the deer as much as
hve-year closed season would but
might prove a feasible method
for protecting game against the
annual slaughter which will soon
exterminate it all, in spite of the
assurances received yearly that
there are still plenty of deer.
The mathematics of the 1914
hunting license business done by
Game Warden Shots to date, is
as follow:
For residents, 10000
at S1.........................$ $4,000
For non-residents, deer
363 at $25. 9,O75
For non-residents for
small game, 655, $40 $3.50

ages are sold and used as to the man
ner in which they are offered for sale
in this state. Option is the right of a
person, or number of persons, to de-
termine course of action. Take a
town of 10000 people located in a
county with a total population of TO-
600; who should determine the course
of action in the town-those residing
within it's limits or all those residing
within the county in which it is To-
Gated? Unquestionably those residing
near the town but without it's limits,
who make it business center and
are obliged to visit it frequently have
distinct interest in the conditions
of that town; those farther removed
from it and who, while in the county,
are not in the immediate territory
about the town, have a neighborly in
terest in it, but not so direct an in.
terest as the others.
Two Sides to Question.
From the standpoint of option alone,
county option would be no improve
ment upon our present system, but
would it have material tendency
to promote temperance? Like every
other thing there are two sides to this
question-both should be considered
and, as nearly as may be, fairly and
without prejudice-and right here let
me say that one very desirable Qualifi.
cation for a governor, or other public
officer, is the ability to see both sides
of question and consider it fairly
and without prejudice. The residents
OF a town we'll governed and we'll
policed are capable of determining for
themselves whether or not intoxicat-
ing beverages should be sold in that
town. The people of the county as
a whole might well be given the right
to determine whether or not LIQUOR
should be sold in the county in any
place other than the cities and towns
where provision is made for an order.
ly and stable government and an
adequate police force provided for the
maintenance OF order and the enforce
ment of the state laws.

then, the electors themselves will di-
rect the course to be taken, and that

BY some it is said '"This question
has no place in politics." The answer
is that it is in politics, and in some
sections of the state to the exclusion
OF nearly everything else. Among the
advocates and opponents of county op-
ton may be found earnest, thoughtful,
patriotic and unselfish citizens, and
there may also be found self-serving,
ambitious, adventurous persons who
seize upon popular sentiment as con-
venlent vehicle in which to ride to
office. The first are in the fight for
principle, the others in the fight for
booty.
Good From Discussion.
Much, good, however, may come
from temperance agitation, whether
the question be in politics or out of it.
Speeches, debates and discussions
cause. men and women to think deep.
ly upon the subject and to deliberate
over 1t and to judge it. So long as
those discussions continue the evil of
intemperance will not be hidden. it
will stand out in all it's hideous de-
formlty to the scrutiny of the public,
it will shrink and wither until finally
it will all but disappear. It may be
overcome by legislation; it may be
overthrow by public sentiment with
out legislation.
commend to the thoughtful a few
sentences by Lord Macaulay:
1T is remarkable that the two great
est and most salutary social revolu-
lions which have taken place in Eng
land, that revolution which, in the
thirteenth century, Put an end to the
tyranny Of nation over nation, and
that revolution which, few genera.
tons later, put an end to the property
OF man in man, were silently and i'm
perceptibly effected. They struck con-
temporary observers with no surprise,
and have received from historians a
very scanty measure of attention.
They were brought about neither by
legislative regulation nor by physical
force. Moral causes noiselessly eff
faced first the distinction between
Norman and Saxon, and then the dis.
tlnctlon between master and slave
None can venture to fix the precise
moment at which either distinction
ceased. Some faint traces of the old
Norman feeling might, perhaps, have
been found late in the fourteenth CEN
fury. Some faint traces of the insti-
tuition of villeinage were detected by
the curious so late as the days of
the Stuarts; nor has that institution
ever, to this hour, been abolished by
statute.
