Indian Fair Was Good.

Lac du Flambeau Friday and Satur-
day of last week report a classy enter
taimnent given them by tn e inhabi-
tants of the reservation, The farm
industries were well represented and
specimens of Indian handiWork
especially good and prominent. A
feature that struck the white uisitors
with pronounced favor was the ball

SpeedOmeter Readings.

j. e. Nemacheck and Austin Bent
returned Friday night with the new
Overland Roadster which they had
been to Milwaukee to purchase. 1t
began it's career of negotiating Villas
county highways next morning, and
we accepted an invitation to accom-
pany them to the G. "A. Bent Resort
on Lake Mamie, ten miles west of
the village of State Line. It proved
Itself to be some boat by taking ev-
cry hill on the road at 25 mile clip
on high, and on a sure enough speed
way this side Of the resort the spe-
dometer Registered IS miles an hour
before we shut our eyes and placed a
somewhat trembling faith in Proyi-
dence.
Bent's Resort fully lived up to all
the praise we'd heard of it for beau
ty OF location, roominess, and unique
interior finishing, the.main buildings
done in natural Hemloclz, and Birch
bark are alone worth visit there.
The condition of the roads and the
agricultural possibilities OF the coun-
try they go through always strikes
us first in sighting new territory.
1t was gratifying to find the town
ship of State Line well favored in
both respects. John Jaaska lof
Phelps, was in charge of a crew of
top surfacers who commencing at the
| village had worked south two miles
on the county road with the inten-
ton OF reaching Conover where the
natural hard surface roads end, be-
fore it freezes up. From the Station
to Bents' it is just ten miles, and
over fire road built few years. ago
which still does very well for use as
an automobile race track.
The next day was spent in a ride
to Winchester and Vinegar, and
home via Marenisco and Waters
meet, over the famous Michigan
Highway that everyone has heard so
much OF in the last year or two.
Striking it at the Wisconsin, NJ ichigan
line about mile out of Vinegar, it
is is miles to Watersmeet, every rod
as smooth DIS a floor and hard as con-
slant rolling can make it. All car
owners within q reasonable distance
lpf this road are missing something
I worth while in failing to take a trip
over it,. Although, a fine road it can
not, or at least should not, be com
Z pared with the less expensive roads
Of this county and other counties.
1t is plainly evident that Michigan tax
payers paid as much for each mile OF
road as we expend on three to five
miles, The new road from Woodruff
| to Winchester has built since our
| last trip over there, and while it is
| not the Michigan Highway by a con-
| siderable. degree. Still, the distance
!. Of 6S miles from Eagle River to Win
chester was made by the car of Oscar
Gunderson all the way on high gear
| The worst fault we could find with
the road was the large amount of ex-
cellent farm land on both sides that
await development, and which the
road will surely assist greatly in do
/ ing.

Hard Freeze.

A drop in temperature that formed
ice one quarter of an inch thick Sun
day and Monday nights ripened off all
farm and garden crops tremendously.
The damage is reported as severe in
all the states adjoining the great
lakes. AS far as has been reported
Villas county got off exceedingly lucky
although many fields of corn, pota-
toes and other crops were killed at a
stage that should have had at least
three weeks in which to mature natur-
ally.

Words of Wisdom.
APPROVING MR.. BRYAN.

We do not often have opportunity
to quote Mr.. Bryan with hearty APP
proval Of his utterances. 1t is, there
fore, peculiarly gratifying to be able
to reproduce from him statement
with regard to the war which has not
been improved upon in many instan-
ces. 1t is asfollows and is taken from
the Commoner:
{ Before our Nation enters a War it
is perfectly proper to discuss the wis
dom Of going to war, but the discus
sion is closed when Congress acts.
After that no one should be permit
ted to cloak attacks upon this govern
nent or aid the enemy under the
claim that he is exercising freedom
of speech.
No sympathy, therefore, will be
wasted upon those who have been ar
rested for unpatriotic utterances.
They abuse free Speech, and this
applies to attacks upon the Allies as
well as to attacks upon the United
States. We can no more ALLOW ou'
allies to be crushed than we can afford
to be crushed ourselves. The defeat
OF our allies would throw the whole
burden of the war upon us. We must
stand together and fight it through.
There are only two sides t.. a war.
Every American must be on the SIDE
of the United States
There are, as Mr.. Bryan says, only
two sides to a war, and in this wal
THERE'S only one side for anAmerican.

LIGHT CAR AND HUGE
TRUCK ALIKE USEFUL
TO u. S. IN WAR TIME
Great Divisions of Motor Vehicles to
Play Important Part in MObiliza-
tons and Actual Fighting
Dodge Car Already in Line.

United States entrance into the
European War has given new phase
to the discussion among army officers
of the part played by American-made
motor cars in the struggle being Wag-
ed in Northern France.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
huge armies on both fronts are almost
entirely dependent upon motor trucks
for their supplies of food and ammuni
ton A large number of these trucks
were manufactured in the United
States and it is highly probable that
the American overseas forces will be
accompanied by the most completely
equipped truck division which has ever
left American ports.
According to the most recent avail
able information, the government has
approximately 1900 heavy duty trucks
ready for service. A majority of these
We're used on the Mexican border last
fall to supply troops of General Per-
shing's expedition with food, ammu-
milton and water.
This precious freight had to be car
red by truck trains from Columbus,
N. NJ, to Namiquipa, 284 miles south
of the border. And in order that the
!
fleets of trucks might accompany them
approximately 300 Dodge Brothers
cars carried them back and forth over
what is known as "the worst road in
the world"
1t was at the latter point that Gen.
Pershing received his supplies by
truck trains, each of which was accom-
panied by a Dodge Brothers car.
South of Columbus, the cars had to
cross alkali flats, which were cut into
axle deep ruts and fight their way up
table lands and slopes covered with
mesquite bush, boulders, grease wood
and sage brush. Between Columbus,
which has an elevation Of 4,062 feet
and Casa Grande, whose elevation is
1854 feet, there are numerous noun
tain ranges which had to be crossed.
Soon the roads became so badly cut
that the drivers Of the cars were fore
ed to take to the brush and smash
their way thru as best they could.
How the Dodge Brothers motor car
withstood the test and enabled the
army to keep on the jump is indicated
in typical experience of Edward
Ruoff, of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Mr.. Ruoff drove Dodge Brothers
car for Generals Kirk and Coville Ir
three days less than eight months the
car covered 1881 miles-more thar
the average car travels in two years
service. During the entire period the
gasoline consumption averaged be-
tween 16 and II miles per gallon
while the repairs amounted to $1.35
There are scores of instances ever
more unusual than this and as whole
the record of the Dorge Brothers mo
tor car on the Mexican border is {
noteworthy tribute to the builders.
