Must Go into Essential Business.

Surely the granite manufacturing
plants in Washington county, especi-
ally in Waterbury, where the railroad
facilities are the very best, can be
easily arranged to handle something
that is needed in war business. The
fact that those plants are all equipped
with travelling cranes and have ample
room to handle heavy materials, is no
small asset. 1t will not be surpris-
ing to see every granite manufacture
ing plant in Waterbury in the war

The decision of the Mortified News
to do all that it can toward the cleo
ton of its townsman, DR.. w. B. Mayo,
as governor Of Vermont despite the
fact that he belongs to a party op-
posite to the supposed political faith
of the newspaper is perhaps explica-
bic on the ground of local pride; but
the same cannot be said of certain
other Republican newspapers in Ver-
mont which show unmistakable signs
Of "bo!ting" the Republican nominee
after they had castigated that same
man, Clement, for boiling the Repub-
lican party some years back. The at
titude Of such papers does not appear
to be consistent with the stand which
they took back in 1902, when Glenn
ent decided to "bolt" the Republican
convention and run independently for
governor. Then it was asserted that
Clement had committed one of the
gravest political crimes imaginable;
now the same crime apears to have
been transferred into a natural privi-
lege.-Barre Times.

Will Support Clement.


Percival w. Clement won the NOM
nation as the. Republican candidate
for governor, apparently fairly. There
is but one thing for honorable Repub-
Leans to do-support and elect him in
November. Mr.. Clement has long
been public figure in Vermont. His
elevation will come as reward for con-
sistency in principle, for faith in his
ness administration, and as the re-
suit Of political opening, due to the
Graham scandal, such as could not
have been better created to serve his
ambition. From his entry in the field
he was counted upon to poll a heavy
vote, and many ranked him as the
favorite. Mr.. Clement will come to
the governorship we'll fitted in many
respects for the demands of the times.
He is an ardent American and the
war movement will find in him a
strong and wise champion. Long out
side the pale of the Old Guard and
owing no political debts to anyone, he
can pursue such an independent and
fearless course as his Judgment die
tates. If he finds rottenness or in
efficiency in places high or low, he
can drive it out regardless of con-
siderations that might influence a
governor closely affiliated with the
existing regime. But he is by nature
conservative and will not promote
changes just for the sake of shaking
things up. And we do not believe
that past antagonists will prompt
him to seek revenge. In short, we
look for a sane and efficient admins
tration at the hands of Governor

Eric Johnson at the Front.

A letter has been received from
Eric Johnson, Pioneer lake dis
trict, saying he has had taste
of front line fighting and it is the
real thing. Says there's nothing
to it" when the Sammy boys get
started after fritz, who is sure
some speedy guy when on the
"back ward" advance, which he
is carrying out so successfully
with the aid of the Yanks bayo-
nets and whippets. His letter is
rather interesting coming from
the front and he tells you some
plain truths. 1t will be publish

SUM of $572.65 was realized from
the sale OF tickets and post cards
for smokes for the soldiers" in
France. Empey donated the
motion picture and the people
donated the spondulix = every
cent taken in was sent Thursday
morning to the acknowledgements
tee who will see that the boys
get their smokes.
Arthur Guy Empey came to
Eagle River a couple of weeks
ago for a short vacation. His
stay, however, was shortened on
account of German propaganda
lists getting busy with a fabrica-
ted tale of how he damned it to
the drafted boy, claiming he
should have said moons ago that
the enlisted lad was superior to
the one drafted. This has been
proven as propaganda stuff, pure
and simple-the enemy simply

SMOKES FOR SOLDIERS
Arthur Guy Empey, the
American Soldier and
Writer, Put Us On the Map
With His Play "Over the
Top"

To the soldiers in France who
receive box of smokes" label
ed from this section, they can
deliver thanks two ways-to
Captain Arthur Guy Empey, the
famous soldier and writer and to
the twelve hundred loyal Amer
leans who gave the money to
buy the tonic which assists them
in the enjoyment of a short Whit
between shots at Fritz.
At the motion picture play
Over the Top" which Empey
under the management of Tilden
Bros, put on in Eagle River pet
sonally last week Wednesday

wanting to get Empey because
he is such a big factor in recruit
ing and further than that be-
cause he never hesitates in show
ing up the traitors to the United
States. To the American of Ger
man birth, this does not sound
severe, but TO the pro element
and that, class of pussy-footing
journalism which this country is
infested with, il certainly hurts
and that is why they went after
the man who made good They
don't like the word traitor"
1t has been a great many years
since Eagle River has been bless
ed with such a crowd. In the
evening, when two shows were
given, there were ninety auto
mobiles parked near the opera
house. Captain Empev talked
at every performance and shook
hands with every person within
reach. "He is the most democra-
tic fellow one could wish to
meet, was the expression often
heard.
In another column of the Villas
County News you can read why
Captain Empey pnt on his
wonderful motion picture in this
little county seat up in the Big
Woods country. He liked its
people and the people liked him.
Not strange when you come to
know both elements.
Friday morning Empey left for
New York. 1t is his intention to
return if, owing to his physical
condition, he is unable to get
back into service, especially the
tank squad. He will in thatcase
get here the middle of September
and stay for some length oftime.
But he is with the soldier boys
add for the soldier boys all the
time, and his hopes are that he
will be accepted in active service.

Villas County Fair, Sept. As.
Sanborn Will Carry Villas.

A. w. Sanborn, candidate for
congress in this district, who
spent the latter part and the
first of this week in Villas county,
will carry this section without
any great effort. He is SO well
known that a real live canvass
is not necessary. A. w. Sanborn
is practically a native citizen,
and there is not the least doubt
but that Villas county will re-
member him substantially at the
September primaries. His record
is clean and his ability cannot be
questioned. What more the
voter can ask is far beyond us.

is Sprvkimev Newton. All are
now in the service. Two of the
sons, Joseph Edgar and Carl
John are in France. The Flodins
have been in Villas county but a
little over a year-came here to
build themselves home and be-
come residents of this country
agriculturally. And they are
welcome adjuncts to the county
of the big dairy dollar and big
possibilities.
When the two hundred people
were assembled at the little
home, there was shown the hos
pitality and true friendship typi-
cal of the American people. Rev.
Dixon of Amigo, Elder Stebbeds
of Clearwe ter Lake, Judge Alex
Higgins of Eagle River and Hon.
A. w. Sanborn of Ashland paid
due tribute to this family who
had given their all in man-power
to the services of Uncle Sam.
And not alone were the Flodins
in the enjoyments of this get-to-
gether meeting of patriotic peo-
pie who are doing their all
for the boys across and in
camps.
Now when you pass the Flo
din home you will see a beauti-
full service flag with five stars;
count them: one-two-three-
four-fve. Alongside the little
house is a flagstaff from which
Old Glory-that glorious emblem
of liberty and justice to it's people
waves to the breeze. Both
these were tokens to the Flodins
of the showing rare to be seen in
any family in this broad country
of ours.
otto FlOdln is not q native
born American; but he is an
AMERICAN. Get that, you peo-
pie who are trying to aid the
enemy we are fighting? Can
you, dare you go to the Flodin
home and tell them they are
wrong to be fighting against the
country which gave them birth?
No, you certainly do not dare
and another best bet is that YOU
have not the courage to be any
thing other than you are-trait-
ors to the country which has
taken you in freely, given you
the best it contained. Stone
wall; firing squad-Bing, Bling
The Fighting Flodins. All
honor to the father and mother
who gave them birth.
