Christmas, 1917

IN THE MIDST of world war,
threatening the sacred and inalien-
able rights of man-Liberty and
the pursuit of happiness-we pause
again to commemorate the advent
of the Prince of Peace.
How futile it all seems! A few
years since we proclaimed the doc
trine of Universal Peace: today
four fifths of mankind is in arms.
To those trusting in scientific
achievements this event is but
foolishness; to those of limited
understanding a stone of offense
but to all who believe in the ulti-
mate triumph of Right, the herald
of better things-a new Heaven
and a new Earth.
The present unrest is but the
darkness before the dawn, the chill
ing frost before the warmth of the
morning sun; presently the Sun
of Righteousness will arise to dis
pei the gloom Of terror, and the
era of Peace on Earth, Good Will
to Men will begin anew, never to
depart.

BIG GAINS FROM SHEEP
Sheep and Land Men Meet
at Milwaukee in Novem-
ber-Cattle Shipments Out
of Eagle River.

Two cars of grass fed cattle
will be shipped to market within
the next week from the farms of
E. T. Barnes and I. A. Wiley
estate located southwest OF
Eagle River This stock, shipped
up to this section last spring
from down state, have been put
in prime condition by the forage
they have fed on from the cut
over lands near Dam and Swamp
lakes. Last week there were
several carloads of cattle and
sheep shipped from this station,
which had fattened upon grasses
growing on uncultivated lands.
Knowing the conditions of this
country, sheep and land men OF
Michigan and Wisconsin will
meet in Milwaukee, November
%, at the club rooms of Hotel
P6ster to organize so that
proper inducements may be OF
fered to western sheep and cattle
men at the National Wool Grow
ers' convention to be held in Salt
Lake City, Utah, in January,
1918, and to which Wisconsin
and Michigan men have been IN
vited.
Northern Wisconsin is bound
to become one of the most pro-
life sections for the raising oil
big herds of cattle and sheep.
Twenty dollars ''clear" profit
a head from a flock of 275 head
of ewes, with the wool clip aver
aging s pounds, and an increase
in number of 16S per cent is the
cheerful outlook reported by g
BAYFIELD, county sheep raiser
who cannot speak too highly O
the wonderful opportunities oper
to the hockmaster in his portion
of northern Wisconsin.
When the demand for Wooler
garments is so greatly increased
and the chances for attractive
service in this line of animal hus
bandrv are so clearly evident
the details of successful ventures
in sheep raising are doubly inter

Don't Like Our Weather.


n F. Niederlander of St Louis
sure put one over on the North
Wisconsin booster ofbalmv DAYS
in October in this Big Woods
county, by his untimely arrival
last Wednesday during the
worst batch of undesirable
weather ever given us since the
winter of the black snow.
For the past three or four years
Mr.. Niederlander has been told
of the beauties of nature which
this section is blessed with and
the balmv weather conditions
during the entire month of Octo-
Der, and now we are Sin bad"
all round, for on his arrival this
country was surely getting it in
the neck with the worst conglo-
meration of snow, wind, rain
and mud, ever dished out to
man by the weather bureau. A
mighty good suggestion to Mr.
Niederlander would be for him
to wire as to conditions before
coming up next fall. You see,
one year it was millions of mos
quitos and since that time he
has been rather skeptical. Can't
blame him, either.
