Halloween

Halloween. is abbrevation of ALE halowene
tyd," meaning All Haows tide. and is applied to
the evening of October 81 just preceding II Saints
Day, on account of the vigil of All Saints which
at that time.
In this festival the Church honors all the saints
not otherwise commemorated. the being Civ
en- as follows: Because we cannot particularly
commemorate everyone of those saints in whom
Gods graces have been eminent, for that would be
too heavy burden; and because in these particular
feasts which we celebrate, may justly be thought
to have committed some of our duty through infrm-
-ity negligence; therefore Holy Church, appoints
this day in commemoraton of saints in general"
The festival instituted in COS, when the
Pantheon at Rome was consecrated as a Christian

Is France Bled White?

How often have we heard it said that France is
'bled white" Don't you believe it. Set it aside as
the word of an enemy scandal monger. France
is fighting to-day she has fought BEFORE and
reinforced by the might of the United States Army
and Navy. with the wealth and resources of America
behind her and with the splendid work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross in her midst, France looks forward
into the future with unbroken confidence that can
spell only victory.-Selected

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1918-04-26

My words are not powerful enough
to do even scanty justice to the most
heroic figure in the modern world, and
of ages past--the woman of France.
OF the healthy men who are engaged
in the military service in France,
practically all are engaged either in
transportation or in the manufacture
of munitions, leaving the agriculture
absolutely to the women. Not only
this. but they have stepped into the
place of work animals; you can go
into any section of France today and
see women of magnificent, noble wom-
anhood hitched to the plough and Gull
tivating the soil. All of this agricul-
ture rests upon their shoulders. The
home, always an extremely efficient
home, maintains few old men. the
wounded. and the tubercular. Uncom-
planning, with high devotion, with an

Reports Not True.

The frequent and widespread publ
cation OF. statements concerning the
presence of ground glass in foodstuffs
has led the Committee on Public
Information to inquire into the au-
thenticity of these reports. It has
been advised by the Food Admins
tration that thorough investigation
of more than 200 of the cases has dis
closed only one instance in which
ground glass was found in the food
stuffs inspected.
The case in Whic h glass was found
occurred at Fort Smith, Ark. A baker
in that town had had trouble with
his employees, one Of whom, desiring
to destroy his employers business,
had filled with glass a loaf of bread
which was to be delivered to an or
phanage. When the bread was served
to the inmates Of the institution sew.
eral of them suffered decorations OF
their lips. No more serious injuries
resulted.

Sheldon For Congress.

G.. M. Sheldon, the TomahaWk man
mentioned last week as a candidate
for Congress receives the following
bouquets from the Rhinelander New
North and Merrill Herald. Judging
from the newspaper comments on him,
he will be in the first tier OF starters
in the September primary.
Taken from the April 18th, issue OF
the New North Of Rhinelander, Wis.
We are Informed that the friends OF
George M. Sheldon OF TomahaWk are
urging him to become a candidate for
Congressman, to fill the vacancy
caused by Mr.. Lenroot's election to
the u. S. Senate Mr.. Sheldon is a
clear thinker, clean citizen, man OF
mature mind, and we feel would be a
good successor to Mr.. Lenroot after a
little experience in Washington.
The TomahaWk attorney is loyal
man and was a strong supporter to
Mr.. Lenroot in the recent campaign.
II Sheldon were in Washington re-
presenting this eleventh district, we
need have no fear, for he would look
after the interests of the country to
the best of his ability.

Notice.
Owners Of Motor Vehicles.

Villas County receives in 1918 in
round numbers $4,000 90 for it's share
Of the monies appropriated for Fed
eral Aid Trunk Line highway. The
major portion Of this amount is de-
rived from the motor vehicle license.
It therefore behooves the Sheriff of
Villas County and his deputies in con-
junction with the Sec'y of State and
the local authorizes to see that there
are no ssslackers. =
All are therefore warned to procure
license before attempting to operate
on the highways. Number plates
should be properly displayed on the
front and real of vehicles at all times
and MUST BE KEPT CLEAN so can
be distinguished. Keep your tail lights
burning at night so numbers are dis
cernible and also prevent rear end col
lisions. If you have two cars don't
put number plate on the front of
one and the same number on the rear
Of another. 1t is dangerous and will
cost you more than the license for two
cars. License numbers are not inter-
changeable except of authority OF the
Sec'y of State.
Be careful at all times to observe
the rules of the road. Never pass an
other vehicle at create speed than 10
miles per hour. Travel with pleasure
and comfort but always have little
regard for the rights of others. Re-
member that the highways cost money
and were not built especially for
ssschorchers" but are for the use and
comfort of all the people. Help pre-
serve them. Don't try to burn them
up-you may want to use them again
Read carefully the AUTOMOBILE
LAWS which will be furnished you
by the Sec'y Of State. Post yourself
and get wise and the Sheriff and his
deputies will not have to call your
personal attention to the matter later
which might be expensive.
Respectfully,
GEO. FL. JACKSON, Sheriff.

A movement is underway to bring
out G.. M. Sheldon, of TomahaWk,
Wisconsin, as a candidate for congress
from this district. The TomahaWk
Leader of this week and the Rhine
lander New North both speak of this
movemunt in a favorable way.
The Herald knows few things
about Mr.. Sheldon and which quail
ties are very desirable in any member
in congress. He is no political trim
mer; he does not wait TO see which
way the band-Wagon is headed or the
crowd going before he takes stand in
any matter. He does not climb on to
the band-wagon after q movement is
well under way as he generally is in
advance Of the popular procession.
There is another thing commend
able about Mr.. Sheldon.
No one has to guess where he stands
on any proposition; he is straight out
and above board.
We believe him to be absolutely
honest IN political and other matters.
All of these qualities, with his ability
and energy, make him a strong can
didate; his personal qualities are
above reproach. No mistake would be
made if Sheldon should be elected
congressman to succeed Mr.. Lenroot.
The election will probably not take
place until the regular election in
November, and the Herald does not
endorse any particular candidate at
the present time, believing it can
render better service by waiting I'M
til all candidates are in the field later
on. We mention the candidacy of Mr..
Sheldon because of the qualities
which would make him capable re-
preventative Of this district, and for
the further reason that he has not
had any political Office although he
has beenNactiye in public affairs ever
since we have know him.
