Advice to Gardeners.

1t this is your first attempt at gar
dening, plant no fancy or unusual va
riety of vegetables. Plant only those
which will grow well in your neigh
borhood. Prepare the soil thorough
~. If the lot has never been cultl-
waited before it is not necessary to
use fertilizer. Harrow or rake until
the soils fine, as near like dust as
possible, and level. A fine soil is abb
solutely essential to good results
Allow the ground to stand after
blowing or spading until after a rain,
or until the soil warns up. 1t is a
mistake to plant seeds too early.
Follow definite plan. Plant in
straight rows using a line. Leave
sufficient room between the rows for
proper cultivation, but do not waste
room. Smaller vegetables may be
planted close together and early ma
turing varieties may often be planted
between the rows of late maturing
ones. Wis. Ayr. Col. Bul.

To the Farmers of
Villas County.

Our Country is at WAR. Farmers
have a patriotic duty to perform that
is just as important for the country
as the fighting in the trenches. The
world needs food and the supply must
be large enough to provide for any
emergency.
It takes time to train and equip an
army and it also takes time to produce
FOOD. Last years food crop was
short all over the world. There can
be no question but that increased
production Of all food crops should be
stimulated, and in fact is a PATRI-
sOTIC DUTY. Bread, meats pota-
toes, vegetables, fruits, all will be
needed
The following things are suggested
as very important and are possible OF
attainment this year and all are ear
nestly requested to do their share
/. Increase acreage Of spring wheat
and barley.
2. Plow up meadows and pastures
for corn and potatoes
3. Increase the potato acreage great
~,
4. Plant beans and peas.
5. Raise an abundant supply of veg
etables for table, market and canning
6. Increase the number of brood
soWs as fast as possible. Pigs grow
into pork fast.
I. Greatly increase the supply Of
poultry This is the quickest and
surest way to increase the meat sup
ply.
8. Use as never before the farm ma
nure and do not let it go to waste.
8. Save land for animal feeding by
growing corn and clover and build a
silo to preserve the feed. This will
easily double the number OF animals
you can feed.
10. Carefully prepare the seed bed
and cultivate thoroughly to get the
largest possible crop.
L. 1t possible buy some more cows
as milk and its products are the best
as well as the cheapest foods.
Every farmer can not do all OF
these things, but every farmer can do
come Of them. and thus provide for
-ffissoWn as we'll as for his country's
safety. If anything is to be done it
must be done NOW For next year
we have more time to plan, but this
years crop depends on immediate ac-
tion. The country is aroused as new
er before In Chicago last week we
saw rich men blowing up their lawns
to put in crops, not because they
need the crops but to set a good ex-
ample for others to follow.
The President of the United States
says that man can serve the coun-
try just as well by growing food
crops as by serving in the army. Let
us all 90 work for the COUNTRY.
Very truly yours
OSCAR GUNDERsON,
County Agricultural Agent.

Suggestions for Women.
The Woodland.

Inc WOOdarQ,
Washington, D. c., April 26, 1917.
TO the Editor of the Eagle River Re
view, Eagle River, Wis.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
The women Of the Congressional
Club, realizing that each woman
longs to do something for our coun-
try in the present crisis, and often
finds it difficult to know what to do,
are sending out the following sug-
gestions, which / feel sure you will
be glad to publish
!. Join the nearest Red Cross
Chapter.
2, Urge that every foot of ground
be utilized for growing foodstuffs,
3 Encourage the making of extra
jelly, jam and other delicacies for use
in hospitals.
4. Obtain directions from the
nearest Red Cross Chapter for knit
ting, making clothing, and other
Enecessaries for men in camp and
field.
I wish to add a few words to sug-
geSti0n No. 3, that of making jams,
jellies, etc. If the women of each
neighborhood would meet and agree
upon a standard size OF the jelly
glasses to be used, and designate
some place where each could bring
her donation, it would be a great
help. Then If each woman when
making her own supply would set
aside one glass OF the selected SIZE
as many more Of course as, she wishes
to donate, but let no woman feel
that one glass is too small to be of
account, as fast as one dozen glasses
are ready they can be prepared for
shipment to the nearest Red Cross
Chapter Ask the grocer to save the
boxes in which jelly glasses are sent
to him. They have paste-board par
titions into which the glasses fit, and
would serve admirably for shipping
the jelly. If there are women
enough in any one neighborhood who
can do their own green vegetables, pint
cans of such things would be a well
come addition to any hospital food
supply.
While we are all hoping that condi-
stions will be such that we will have
no wounded men, we must be pre-
pared for everything, and there will
ALWAYS be certain percentage OIL
sick soldiers and emergency calls
arising from accidents.
Your nearest Red Cross Chapter as
far as I know is Green Bay, Wis.
New Chapters are being formed in
many towns.
Yours very cordially,
CLARA G. LENROOT.
The above letter from, we presume,
the wife of our Congressman, l. L.
Lenroot, we ARE glad to publish in
the hope that it may bring to the
minds of those who read it, a closer
realization OF what war aside from
that conducted by daily newspaper
correspondents, really means, We
have never been able to feel as many
apparently do, that a war with a first
class power on land or sea- is going
to be mainly, a pleasant Fourth
OF July excursion for the United
States Army and Navy.

Can Fish Earlier.

Acting upon the urgent demand
for some reduction in the presents
high cost of all food supplies, the
legislature last week very wisely
passed a state wide law opening the
season for catching fish with hook
and line on May /, or a month earlier
than usual. This applies to all fish
but bass. They are protected until
June I.

Managerial Duties From
Memphis Club
WAS DEPOSED AS LEADER

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 26.-Mike Donlin
deposed manager Of the Memphis baseball
team, through Attorney Phil NJ. Canale,
has filed suit n'the Chancery Court against
the Memphis Baseball Association seeking
to recover the remainder Of the salary
called for in his contract from the time he
was discharged until the end Of the season.
The amount Donlin asks for is $1,000.

tract on the part Of the Memphis Baseball
Association.
According to the bill Donlin entered into
a contract with the Memphis baseball club
last January in New York. The contra ct
was for a year. Donlin was to receive for
managing and playing for the Memphis
team $4,000. of which $14S0 has been paid.
He also asks that he be reimbursed by the
Memphis club money that he spent in NOV
ing his family from New York to Memphis
and back.
Donlin also signed regular players
contract For his services as manager and
player the bill alleges that Donlin was to
be paid as follows: March l, 5000: April |,
$780, and $500 each for the months of MAY,
June, July, August and September The
Memphis club, the bill alleges, also agreed
to give Donlin bonus of $500 IL the Mem
phis team finished in first, second or third
place. In turn the contract reads that Dom
lin was to use his best efforts to build up
and maintain a winning team.
John D. Martin, president of the Mem
phis club and an attorney, will represent
the Memphis club in the suit.

BIG CHIEF TURNER ALMOST SCALPS
LARRY WILLIAMS IN RUNNING TILT
Paleface, Despite Lack of Form Shows Great
Rapidity on Trail and Escapes Indians
Hefty Tomahawk Thrusts
BY LOUIS H. JAFFE

INDIAN TURNER was on the warpath for
L fair last night on the 24.foot prairie at
the National Club. and he put over his act
successfully, although Paeface Larry Will
liams escaped with his blonde scalp after
an 1S-minute running battle During the
last three minutes Of the limited melee il
appeared that the chief would tomahawlS
Larry into submission, but the Phladel-
phian hit the trail at a rapid clip and was
able to keep out of reach of the redskins
terrific shots.
Larry Williams, fat, slow unframed,
could not cope with the sleek half breed,
who appeared to be conditioned to the
minute. He tomahawked the white man
with lightning left jabs, howitzer hooks,
rapid-hring right crosses and upperCuts that
almost upset Larry several times. Turner
fought a consistent contest he kept trying
to lay his opponent low throughout the bout,
while Williams on the other hand, fought
only in flashes. Larry lambasted the In
dian several times with hard smashes TO
body and head but his series of slams were
short-lived, and the paleface was willing
to hold or back up when Turner retail
lated.
Joe Stefanik. reputed knoCkerout from
Allentown, came within an ace of suffering
a potion of his own powder when Pat
O'Malley crossed a Highlander on the jaw
IN lne lOurth ROUND. Stetanik shaped up
like a hard hitter, but O'Malley isn't a
slouch any way one looks at him. and
the up-Stater should have been satisfied to
have gone the limit II was a contest of
righthand punching, each virtually for
getting that he also possessed a left and
several times both started wallops for the
chin together Seldom does pair Of boxers
score knockdowns at the same time but in
this match it appeared as II they both would
go sprawing on the floor O'Malleys knock
down and his great finish went a long way
In deciding the bout in his favor by
narrow margin.
Al Brown, a New York youugster who
evidently weighed only l05 pounds, gave
Joe Dorsey the best Of It by about fifteen
pounds and a real tough tussle. Dorsey,
by reason Of his more ruggedness and ag-
Rressveness, was the winner but he knew
that he was in a grueing go before the
final gong sounded

HORSE RACING IN N. Y.
HAS MADE A COMEBACK
Close Victory of Borrow in Record
Time Has Big Town Sports
All Agog

NEW YORK, June 26.--Not since the day
that Governor Hughes paralyzed New York
racing by putting the han on open gambling
has the sport staged such a glorious come>
back as II did when Borrow beat Regret
short head In the twenty-ninth running Of
the historic Brooklyn Handicap was the
unanimous verdict today.
There was talk of little else In racing and
sporting circles here Never, even when
open gambling was at its height, has a New
York racing crowd roared its Joy as did the
colorful throng which packed the Aqueduct
grand stand when Borrow edged past Regret
and won, establishing a new worlds record
for mile and a furlong at 149 3-5.
Regret won almost equal honors by es-
tablishing the new American record OF
1886 2-5 for the mile. Both Borrow and
Regret ran under the colors of Harry Payne
Whitney, and had such speed marvels as
Roamer, Ormesdale Chiclet, Omar Khay-
yam and Old Rosebud staggering and reel
ing at the finish.

The Help

If the players would quit kicking at UNI
pires, then the crowd would soon follow
the same lead, and the officials would have
a chance to repder decisions with much bet
ter balanced judgment.
Kicking never changes a decision. II
merely leads TO the expulsion of good play
ers and world of additional trouble.
