She Has "War Garden"

A clipping from the Portland
Oregonian dated October Dist,
tells of how Miss Louise Slocumb
we'll known here and late of Bos-
ton, raised a war garden on
three city lots this summer. Ten
sacks of big white Burbanks and
$50 pounds of beans were the
fruits of her labor. Miss Slo-
cumb sent to Boston several po-
tatoes 9x6 inches, weighing
nearly three pounds each. This
is her first experiment in garden
ing. Miss Slocumb has many
close friends in Eagle River.

ATTEND POTATO SHOW
Villas County Growers Will
Go After First Honors at
Madison Exhibition Novem-
Der 19-24th.

Villas county has the potatoes
and She is going afterfrst honors
at the sixth annual convention
and state potato show which is
to be held at Madison November
18th to Oath by the Wisconsin
Potato Growers association.
In making the assertion that
Villas is going to make the SUI
preme effort to capture first in
every class put up at the conven-
ton, if possible, we are but voic-
ing the expressions made by the
ones who will assist in exhibit
ing for this county at Madison.
Villas county's crop of spuds
this yearis of the best, according
to potato judges who have inves-
tigated the 1917 crop. Now
that we have the quality. if the
next essential thing lies in the
dressing up of show stock to
further promote prize package,
then we should not leave an
opening for any doubt as to our
might having won had there
not been some slight thing over
looked. If some other county
grabs off first, we must be able
to say they did so on account
of a better quality.
Those who will represent this
county at Madison are: Henry
Schmidt, Amos Radcliffe, Oscar
Gunderson and @. F. Sanborn of
Eagle River, Peter Hedeen of
Conover, julius Trapp and Louis

MUNICIPAL WOOD YARD
Eagle River Officials Plan
ming to Assist in Supplying
Wood and Lessen Shortage
in Fuel.

Plans are nowunder way, it is
understood, by the town officials
of Eagle River to put in oper-
alton a method of buying and
selling wood in this village under
municipal management, and, if
put in force will open up d ready
cash market to the farmer and
settler, and also lessen to some
extent the wood shortage now
confronting us.
The plan is to purchase green
and dry wood in pole or log
length, paving by weight, the
municipality saving itin 16-inch
length and sell to consumers by
weight at cost.
If this method is feasible, and
it appears to be, the settler will
be enabled to cut his own pole
wood and escape the delays oc-
casioned by his inability to pro-
cure labor in order to saw his
wood in cord length.
The plan will certainly bear an
early working out.
