Villa Faction Controls Convention.
Washington Oct 27-Officials here
today expected TO hear that the Mexi-
can convention at Aguascalientes had
accepted the resignation of Carranza as
first chief.
Later adviceS to the state depart
ment said the convention atmosphere
had cleared. and that Generals Obre-
gon, Shao and Castro had returned
from Mexico City, where they had in
terviewed Ca1ranza ''radiating optim-
ism" With the arrival Of twenty eight
Zapata delegates there seemed no
doubt that the Villa faction would be
in control.
Consul Silliman's report states that
among certain conditions under which
carranza will agree to retire is one
that Villa and Iapata similarly accept
that condition, but some assurances
probably will be asked of Villa and
Zapata that they will uphold the pro-
visional government.
Convention May Oppose Carranza.
1t is believed here that Gen. Antonio
Villareal, chairman of the convention,
Will be it's choice for provisional presi-
dent. Should Carranza insist on all
his demands Indications are that the
convention may summarly depose him
and order the constitutionalist army
to enforce the acts of the convention.

When this is done we can sell for
seed purposes and receive double the
market quotations. Then too the
growing Of one variety in a potato
community like Minocqua will estab-
lish reputation for that community
which in few years will create a de-
mand for the entire output. The
Minocqua men have the right spirit
and we can expect to see results from
their getting together. Farmers as
willing Incorporate as they are cannot
help but accomplish things.
A meeting similar to the one held at
Minocqua was held at Three Lakes on
Saturday. The growers there organic
ed with Fred Campbell as their leader
and decided to make speciality of
growing the Rural New Yorker The
heavy soil around Three Lakes is es-
pecially adapted to the growing of
Rurals. Some excellent samples were
brought to the meeting on Saturday.
The fields of Rurals will be inspected
the coming summer and the farmers
will have pure Rural New Yorker seed
for sale next year. Rurals are always
in demand on the market and the
quality of those raised at Three Lakes
will always insure a good price to the
growers there.
While at Three Lakes the county
representative visited the farm of
Dell Brewster. Dell believes in
having some conveniences even
though he is farmer. He has sep
arating room in which is a washing
machine, with wringer attachment,
a cream separator and a churn all run
by small gasoline engine. The
same engine pumps all the water and
saws the wood. The floor of the room
is made of cement and there is also a
cement milk trough and refrigerator.
A room adjoining is used as an ice
house and the refrigerator is filled
from this room without removing the
ice from the building. 1t IS easy to
say that this outfit is the most com
plete of any of its kind in the coun-
try. Mrs. Brewster said concerning
it, Washing was once the hardest
part of my work; now it is the
easiest" Dell says many farmers have
visited the place.to see the machinery
in operation. We hope they will in
stall a similar system as soon as
possible 1t is these things that take
away the drudgery of farm life and
make the country pleasant place in
which to live.

Potato Growing.

f. L. Luther and the county repre-

hall and everything was done by the

success.

Villas county is located at the
head waters of the Wisconsin
and Flambeau rivers and con
tains within it's bounds several
large and beautiful chains OF
lakes, the two greatest of which
are the Eagle River and Mantle
wish chains, the former at the
head of the Eagle river and trib-
utary to the Wisconsin and the
latter at the head of the Manito-
wish and tributary to the Flam-
beau. These lakes contain the
many varieties of fish known to
this section, viz: Pike, pickerel,
the several varieties of bass, sal
mon trout and muskellunge.
The many creeks which flow into
the rivers and lakes contain the
sportive speckled and rainbow
trout.
Upon the shores of these lakes
summer cottages are being built
rapidly BY men from the cities Of
the South who come north in
June to remain in the paradise of
the summer vacationist until
September, many remaining
through the months of Septem-
Der and October. Much of the
lake frontage of the Eagle chain
is plated and for sale at moder-
ate prices, while lake frontage in
small pieces on any of the lakes
can be purchased The plated
portions, however, are the more
desirable in that colonies of sum-

els per acre and spring wheat cannot

PoTATOEs-W With the many potato
warehouses in the county it speaks
for itself that this part of the state is
the coming potato center. (See what
tie L. Starks Co. of Chicago, whole
sale potato buyers, have to say on po-
tatoes.) The Starks Co. has purchas-
ed 20, 900 acres in this section for the
growing of potatoes This year the
company has 500 acres in crop.
Villas COUNTY MARKETS While
this county is practically new to agri-
culture, still it has excellent market
centers. The farmer is therefore en-
abled to dispose Of his surplus crops
to the same advantage as in the south
ern part of the state. A few miles to
the north lies the mining region-an
unlimited market for al farm products
and one which is easily accessible the
wear round. Grow your crops and
the markets will create the demand.
With its warehouses and creameries
the home-maker has nothing to retard
him in the development and disposal
of any product he may raise and the
soil will raise anything.
Truck FARMING At the present
time Villas County is the mecca for
the summer tourists. In this section
of lakes. rivers and woods there are
almost hundred resorts who cater to
the pleasures of the thousands of sum-
mer visitors. The farmer therefore
has a direct market for vegetables
and creamery products. This in itself
is no small item for the thousands OF
tourists demand fresh vegetables, but
ter, cream and eggs. After the sum
mer season closes there are always the
CITY markets to the north, with their
steady demand.

rainfall.
For general healthfulness
North Wisconsin has no equal.
The pure ozone gives one a feel
ing of exhilaration at all times.
Asthma, colds and catarrh are
unknown, while malaria, ty-
phoid and hay-fever are as for
eign to North Wisconsin as the
black plague.
The temperature is not subject
to extreme changes. The exces-
slve heat of summer does not
penetrate the northern woods,
and the cold weather of winter
is not nearly so hard to endure
as that of the comparatively
milder regions farther south, be-
cause of the invigorating quality
of the air.
With the altitude ofover 900
feet, the air is pure and bracing.
The odor of balsam tinctures the
whole atmosphere. Because of
its altitude the days in summer
are longer than in the counties
farther south. During the grow
ing season there are two and
one-half hours more of sunshine
than in the latitude of Cincinna-
ii. This fact, together with the
abundant rainfall of early sum-
mer, results in rapid and vigor-
Gus growth of crops and their
early maturity.

but game abounds and there is also
healthful recreation for those who do
not care for either rod or gun. There
are fine drives through virgin forests
and walks over ground that is deep
with rich scented pine needles.
But it is the lakes that give the
place and the country their charm.
There is no place in the world where
there are so many beautiful lakes in
so small space and each one is an
individual of itself with its own pc
culiar features. AT every season of
the year there is something of pecu-
liar interest to please the nature lover
and to rest the city tired mind. This
magnificent country has been called
the Switzerland of America, the Kill
larney of the States and several other
such names but they are misnomers.
1t is simply the beautiful lakes of
Wisconsin and they are away ahead
of Switzerland or Killarney or Lake
George or any other comparison, a
field of beauty of their own, unexcel-
led, unrivalled, and among them all
there is nothing more beautiful, moth

object is TO call your attention to
Eagle River and its adjacent chain of
lakes. These lakes are surrounded
by tree-clad hills with many rides
and drives which have IA new interest
each day.
There is probably no equal sized
territory on the face of this beautiful
earth that affords such delight to the
nature lover and to the disciple of the
gentle Izaak as that of which Eagle
River is the center Woods and
waters and the sparkling air of the
north are a charm, tonic that is as
inconsistent with care and misery as
is sin with happineSs-and when IA
big muskie is keeping Your mind from
wandering off TO the weather tomor-
row, the price of wheat or the chances
of Jimmie Johnsing becoming COVER
nor, you will be content to let the
muskie on your hook have your un-

uated among the lakes; in every
direction one sees the beautiful lakes
and the wooded hills.
Not alone is there excellent fishing
