o. G. Luther left YESTERDAY to take
part in family reunion at the home
of his mother at Piper City, H., at
which three brothers are expected to
be present for the first time in twenty
five years.
L. NJ. Grover left Saturday to win d
up his travels forthe year and to head
in at Momence, H., where himself and
wifewill spend the holidays at the
home of their daughter, Mrs. r. T..
Keicher.
They say that there isn't a girl in
Eagle River that wears stocking
large enough to slip piano into for
a Christmas present. Well, we didn't
have any such infamous intentions
before the news came.
Miss Ruth Nemacheck returned
Tuesday from Stevens Point, the Nor
NAL school vacation commencing some
days in advance Of the original pro
gram owing to a scarlet fever scare in
that city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Ulrich left
Tuesday to spend Christmas with rel
atives in Chicago, after which they
will visit Pensacola, Florida, for afeW
weeks and finish up the winter in
California. They will return to Eagle
Riyar in time to get the Hemlock
resort ready for it's share of 1917 bus
mess.
The Grover tract of fourteen forties
adjacent to Croker Bros. farm north
west of town has been sold to Wau-
sau parties who are preparing to re-
move the saw timber estimated at
two million feet of hard and soft wood,
this winter. 1t is one of the last heav-
lily timbered tracts left near Eagle
River and the wonder is that it has
not been worked up before.
If satisfactory arrangements can be
made with the C.& n. W. Ry. a load
ing switch will be placed near the
JOHN Fielder farm, if not then the
logs will be hauled to town and load
ed from here.

Regarding Revenue Taxes.

The revised revenue law enacted by
CONGRESS last September made a num-
Der of changes in the special tax Gov
.el4ament license) features which be-
come effective January l, E9a7, and;
will prove of general interest at this
Uia1e.
The special nax of $3.50 per year
which all dealers in tobacco were re-
ouired to pay under the provisions OF
fine old law is repealed, effective Jan
uarg lst. The@pecial taxes Qua dealers
in deaf tobacco, commercial Drokers,
.eonesnission aaerchants and capital
and surplus of banks are also repealed.
The special haxes on billiard and
poea tables, theatres, public exhibit
tions, circus, sDrokers, pawnDrokers,
custnmhouse brokers, manufacturers
of cigars and manufacturers Of tobacco
are,eontinued and made a part OF the
permanent legislation, with moCiflca-
tions as stated below.
An billiard aAd pool tables ana
bowling alleys, except those in private
homes. are taxed st the rate of s .. 10
each Der year. This includes all tables
and alleys in clubs lodge halls, church
auxiliaries, and similar establishments
which are exempt from taxation
under the former law
Theatres in cities and villages of less
than 5000 Inhabitants pay one-half the
former rate Of tax per annum, based
on seating capacity, while those in
cities of 5000 or more pay the same
rate of annual tax as was levied under
the former law.
Collector OF Internal Revenue Will
Jams is mailing blank forms OF the
address Of all parties whose names ap-
pear on the records of his Office to be
used in making return.
However, as the law places upon the
taxpayer the obligation of making
voluntary return, if parties subject to
any Of these taxes fail to receive prop
er blanks during the month of Dec
ember application for the snme should
be made to the Collector of Internal
Revenue, Madison, Wis.

Interesting Machine.

The most interesting perpetual mo.
ton machine, was the clock built by
James Cox. London jeweler, In the
eighteenth century. This was made
self-winding by a barometer attach
ment arranged to actuate cOgwheel
in such manner that whether the
mercury rose or fell the wheel always
revolved in the same direction and
kept the clock weight always wound
up. The chief difficulty Cox had to
overcome was to prevent overwinding.
This he accomplished by device that
,aused the cogWheel to throw itself out
# gear when the weight was wound
nearly to the top.

Regarding This Issue of the
REVIEW.

For the third consecutive
year we present our subscribers
with a Holiday Cover to the Re-
view that we hope will meet
with their approval. Most pa
pers make use of the feature to
increase their advertising reve-
nue. at this season of the year.
In small town where two pa
pers are maintained in a greater
or lesser degree of prosperity,
we lack the nerve to ask that 10
cal BUSINESS firms contribute to
the rather unnecessary expense
We shall be amply satisfied if
it tends to hold. and increase
our list of steady subscribers.
So accept it with the compli-
ments of the publishers and the
knowledge that they have tried
to please you.
AS usual, sample copies will
be sent TO some who are not now
on our list of regular subscribers
in hope that some Of them may
become such. TO all Of these,
but particularly, farmers of Vi
las county, we wish to say that
we are deluded enough to think
we are giving fully as much val
lie for 81. 50 per year. as any
publication OF similar size does
anywhere. The readsprint sec
ton contains all of the latest
news of the country up to
Wednesday when it is printed.
On the home printed section we
aim to cover most Of the current
events in Villas county. In adj
dition a Comic Section is fur
nished that by the ordinary Sum
day paper route would cost that
much alone. The matter Of poll
tics advocated by the average,
small town paper doesn't strike
its average reader very seriously
Judging others by our own opin-
ion. If there should any be who
consider this CT Importance in
subscribing for a Villas county
paper, we can say that the Re
view is Democratic, and expects
to remain so.
For the support given the pres
ent owners and publishers dur
ing the past five years since they
assumed for better, or for
worse" the responsibility and
management of Villas county's
oldest newspaper. they wish to
express their appreciation, and
hope that their future efforts
will merit continuation Of the
past patronage.
Yours with best wishes,
CHAs. RICHARDS & Son.

"After Many Days. /"

At the opening of Congress IN
1914, the Buttinsky of this firm,
being a believer in the the theo-
ry that in matters political, if
not in those Of the heart, favors
come to him who asks, or at
least come faster, wrote to Sen
ator La Toilette, and Cong.
.Lenroot, asking for their assist
ance in securing two cannon and
equipment of cannon balls, to be
placed in the court house grounds
Of Villas County, at Eagle River,
Both Mr.. La Toilette, and Mr..
Lenroot at once introduced bills
to that effect in their respective
houses, and sent copies of the
same to the Review.
An Act authorizing the Sec
rotary of War to deliver To the
town of Eagle River, in the
State of Wisconsin. two corr
demmed bronze or brass cannon
or field pieces, with their car
riages and a suitable outfit of
cannon balls. "
Never hearing further partic-
ulars, Dec. IL, letters were sent
to Senators La Toilette, and
Husting, and Congressman Len
root asking them to take the
matter up again. The following
answers are sufficiently explana-
tory, and we trust will be salts
factory to the citizens of Eagle
River in degree large enough
to pay the transportation charg-
es, and cost of placing them in
the court house square in recog-
milton of the distinction and adj
vantages gained from being res
idents Of the county, seat of Villas
County, Wisconsin.

Ny dear Mr.. Richards:
In reply to your letter with refer
ence to securing cannon and balls for
the town of Eagle River, have to
advise you that introduced a bill in
1914 making provision for this dona-
tion. and that this bill with many
others of like character, making SIM
liar appropriations to other places,
was indefinitely postponed post
poned, but an omnibus bill carryi ng
these appropriations was passed in
August 1914, and : became law
March 4, 1915.
am enclosing copy of it, and on
page eight, you will find the item
making the appropriation for the
town of Eagle River | am advised
by Congressman Lenroot that he is
writing you particulars with respect
tosthe procedure necessary to be fol
| lowed in order to secure the cannon
thus appropriated.
Very truly yours,

RAISING DIshcIoths.

1t has been discovered that the
thick, spongy gourd Of the luffa plant,
which grows easily and requires but
little attention, makes the best kind of
lishcloths and bath sponges. An Ohio
woman is making good living raising
them. Last year she sold over one
thousand to one garage company alone
for use in the washing of automobiles.
Cut into strips the luffa gourd makes
a kind of lace widely used by milli-
ners, and it is also admirably adapted
to the making of flower baskets.

Dear Mr. Richards:
I have yours of the 18th instant
with relation TO bills introduced to

dent on March 4, 1916. | have taken
this matter up with the War De-
partment and am informed that this
will be given prompt attention and
the cannon and balls will be con-
signed to you within reasonable
time.
