ATLANTA. Ga, Sept. 2.-That tn
federal trade board will hold hearings
in Atlanta, probably early in Nobem-
Der; that business conditions in the
west have taken on an impetus greater
than for year; that President Wilson

Whelming majority; and that Allan
tans and Georgians, are taking a
prominent and leading part in all line :
of business in the west, is the news
brought to Atlanta today by william

WANTS PROHIBITION
IN EXTRA CALL

MACON, Ga, Sept I'm her ad-
dress at the Vineville Methodist
church Mrs. Mary Harris Armor came
out strong for prohibition for the
coming extra session of the legislature
She declared that when a disease or
menace of any kind threatened the
safety of our horses, cattle or hogs
that we would spend money withoue
hesitation to insure their safety. but
that when it was only a matter of
saving our boys, our wives. our moth
ers and our homes, twas then that
the enemy began loudly to count the
cost and bewail the extravagance oc
casioned by a consideration of their
welfare. Mrs. Armor declared that all
of the revenae received from the liouor
and near beer business of the state
would only increase the taxes per cap
tia ten cents. and this without consid
ering the untold misery as we'll as tn
expense to the state of litigation eaus
ed by the liquor business.
She proved that there was no one
but the rich that ever profited by the
liquor business and that if there wer
no liquor business that the money
thus spent would be spent for cloth
ing and food. and that thereby the
legitimate and decent avenues OF
the commercial world would be bene-
flied.

WILL SURVEY DISTRICT
Wisconsin Valley Improve
ment Company to Survey
District Northwest of Three
Lakes Which Will Drain a
Mammoth Marsh.

A meeting of interested parties
OF Three Lakes and The Wiscon-
SIN Valley Improvement com
pany was to have been held at
Rhlnelander Monday for the pur-
pose OF discussing the drainage
OF the immense marsh northwest
OF Three Lakes. The marsh is
owned by Clark Kinney of Three
Lakes and for the past two years
has been leased by a Green Bav
company who have been harvest
ing wire grass from the marsh.
A. A. Bahcock of Wausau was
at Three Lakes last week for
the purpose of investigating the
proposed draining of the marsh.
The supposition is that if the
marsh is drained it will lower
the stage of water in the upper
chain. Three Lakes people claim
the marsh will drain northwest
into Thunder, Rice and Columbus
lakes, Mud creek and into the
Wisconsin, river, and east across
the railroad track at Korzilius
resort into Town Line lake, one
in the upper chain The W1scon-
sin Valley Improvement COM
pany claims if the drainage canal
is dug it will drain the upper
chain northwest into Thunder
lake. lowering the waters in the
upper chain to stage that will
practically ruin launching on
that beautiful body of navigable
lakes.
The marsh in question contains
several thousand acres.

A BIT % NOTHIN'

The war editor of a Kansas
newspaper figures it out thusly:
The allies left is trying to move
around the Germans right but
the Germans right is also NOV
ing around the allies left. Now
if the left of the Germans right
moves around the right of the
allies left, then what is left of
the Germans right must be right
where the allies left. But if the
Germans rights left is left right
where the allies left's right was
right before the allies left, then
the left is left where the right left
the rights left. Isn't that right?

ORGANIZE ASSOCIATION
Plans Under Way for Form
ing Commercial Club in
Eagle River Should Show
Large Membership at Its
Meeting Next Monday.

Without doubt the public
spirited people of Eagle River
Will form an association at a
meeting called for next Monday
evening at Lawler & Wiegand's
offices. There isn't no cause for
believing otherwise, il the senti-
ment shown Monday night ma
terlalizes.
The informal meeting brought
forth the fact that no communi-
ty prospers unless there is unity
among the people-a pull-togeth-
er method which never fails in
bringing forth good results.
Advertising and Boosting VS..
Lethargy and Knocking. The
former denotes business acumem
and energy, the latter shiftless-
ness and destructiveness. To
give an illustration: Last sum
mer a local land dealer was con
verslng upon street corner with
prospective purchaser. The
buyer asked the land man what
1t would cost per acre to put the
land ready to plant. Before the
dealer could reply a member of
the Queer-Everything League of
which every communityis cursed
With butted in by saying: It'll
take hundred dollars an acre. "
Luckily the buyer was we'll
versed in land clearing and passed
up the remark.
The forming of a commercial
club, an advancement associa-
ton or a community league is
the back bone of any village or
district. 1t creates a closer rela-
ton both in social and business
life Furthermore it puts hors
de combat the Individual with a
perpetual imaginary crouch
against the community which
has supported him for score or
more of years.
At the meeting to be held next
Monday night bylaws will be
drafted and officers elected for
Eagle Rivers new association.
This association is for every
live wire businessman, farmer,
artisan and citizen. The bust
ness outlook for this section this
year was never better A colony
OF at least twelve families will
settle upon farms in the Mayo
and Sanborn-Simmons districts
this spring, and an influx OF new
home-makers is scheduled for the
Oxlev and Boulder lake district;
a number of summer homes will
be built upon the nearby lakes
and resort owners are preparing
for an extra large business.
Get in line next Monday night.

atom of most of the common substances,
and the volume actually occupied by
these eectrons themselves is probably as
small in comparison with the volume of
an atom as is the volume of the solar sys-
tenn. Reduced to figures, the diameter of
a molecule is one ffty-millionth of cen
timcter. But the diameter of an electron
is about one hundreds housandth that of a
molecule. This means that one hundred
million of them would have to be placed
side by side in row before even the most
powerful microscope would reveal the
speck thus made to the human eye.
In measuring an elcctron it is first nee
essary to isolate an ion. An ion is mole
cule carrying one free clectron or atom of
electricity. Professor NIillikan does this
by means OF an apparatus of his own de
sign The apparatus consists essentially
of a dust-frec chamber, into which cloud
of fine droplets of oil is blown with the aid
of dust-free air.
One or more of the droplets of this
cloud are allowed to fall through pinhole
into the space between two plates of a
horizontal air condenser, and the pinhole
is then closed by means of an electro
magnetically operated cover Three
small glass windows are placed in the side
of the condenser at the angular positions
of nothing, l65 degrees, and 1870 degrees.
