Villas at State Fair.

The future Of extreme Upper Wis

points strongly to agriculture, not
withstanding the ideas of some unin-
formed persons, who say that this re-
gion will be slow to gain it's place in
farm circles. Villas county came to
the state fair just to prove that agri-
culture is going north ahead of the
hunter nowadays and staying right
on the job all the year They showed
the farthest north grains and grasses
exhibited at the event, and in point
of quality and degree Of development
few could show anything better.
When one realizes that these splen-
did farm products were assembled
from a relatively limited number of
farms compared to the large areas
open to selection by other county
committees, the exhibit shown by o.
Car Gunderson, county representative
and Chas. Adams of Eagle River and
Phillip Foelkner of Arbor Vitae,
made big impression on fair visitors.

tion were the potatoes proof that the

PHELPS SOLDIER SPOKE
Sergt. johnson Told His Ex-
periences In France With
"Pershing's Crusaders"

Villas county people had the oppor-
tunity Monday evening to hear one Of
their own boys tell of his experiences
with the Yanks over there, when
Sergt r. NJ Johnson, 12Sth Infantry,
spoke at the Lyceum opera house.
Sergt. Johnson is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Johnson, managers of
the Phelps hotel. He is spending a.
short furlough at home before going
to training camp in the east to act
as instructor in bayonet and automat-
ic rifle work.
Monday evening he told his audi
ence of his experiences from the time
of his enlistment until he returned to
this country a few weeks ago. He
described the doings of the Yanks. as.
he saw them, having spent 81 days in
the trenches himself, in the Alsace
sector. He told of tile barbarities of
the Hun as they had come to his OBJ
servatiOn and brought home to the
people the cold facts of the enemy's.
cruelties as no other speaker could.
Being . local boy his narrative made
a greater impression than volumes OF
literature. on the same subject could,
to those who hesitate to believe the
truth.
Sergt. johnson brought home with
him his trench helmet, gas mask and
other paraphernalia of warfare that.

hibition and method of use as de-
scribed and illustrated by him was.
instructive and entertaining, While
with the Rainbow Division Sergt.
johnson saw active service in trench
raids, patrol work and all the other
phases of modern trench warfare and
was slightly wounded by shrapnel
while doing front line duty. At the
time the order came for his return to,
the States to act as instructor he was
in the front line trench.
Sergt. Johnson spoke during the.

Outlaws Should Die.

Although not given to harping on
100 per cent loyalty, promicuously US
ing the slanderous epithet of "Pro-
German" to prove our loyalty to the
only land that we and our Immediate
ancestry have ever known, yet, on
some occasions we can feel just as
deeply on the subject as the most
vehement street corner warrior could
wish
Of all Of the disgraceful conditions
that have been uncovered in the
United States since April 6, 1917,
the case of the outlaws, the Kruger
brothers who last Saturday, at Owen,
Clark Co., killed one man, and
wounded five others of posse organ
lied by U. S. Marshals to arrest all
four for evasion of the Selectiye Ser
vice Act, stands out as the worst of
all.
Americans could scarcely believe
the stories of German atrocities in
Belgium when first made public, and
it seems just as unthinkable that in
Wisconsin four young men could be
born and grow to ages ranging from 20
to Sc, and have so little regard for their
native land, and the prosperity that
has been theirs to the extent of being
one of the wealthiest families of the
township, that they would make any
attempt to evade the call to military
service when required by their coun-
try. Their offAnse is the greater be-
cause ignorance is not offered in ex-
cuse. All were well educated and
we'll read men, and free from any
church influence which has some in
stances brought trouble upon those
of German blood. What little con-
nection the family had with religion
was through the Congregational
church where Ger tainly no German
propaganda was ever taught.
What we should have liked to have
read of about the Kruegers would
have been that all four had been
killed on the spot, and most devoutly
hope to hear of the three who es-
capped, dying with their boots on.
Any prison sentence that they would
receive after being taken alive would
be too mild punishment.

TEST OF PATRIOTISM
Request for Motorless Sun
days depends largely up
on your support.
on your support.

The U. S. Fuel Administration
finds that in regard to the conserva-
tion Of gasoline many have under
stood that the plan of not driving
pleasure automobiles on Sundays was
an order, instead of request. It
has been suggested that the result to
be sought might better be gained by
a card system or some other method
of rationing gasoline. The answer to
this is that in the time it would take
to inaugurate card system of ra-
tioning, the shortage should be over
come, particularly if there is heed to
the calls of conservation with regard
to WASTE, leaks, and the running of
motors when not actually in opera
ton. There is further answer that
from European experience, the ma
chinery of administering rationing
system to three or four million auto
mobile users, is SO large and so ex-
tremely expensive that it should not
be undertaken until tie need is ex-
tremely great.
The request for no Sunday driving
was limited to the territory east of
the Mississippi because the great bulk
Of the country's gasoline is obtained
in the mid-continent fields, in Kan
sas, Oklahoma, Texas, louisiana,
while all oil and gasoline sent to the
war zone is shipped from our Allan
tic seaboard, and transportation is
saved by conservation in the east.
People have asked whether they
should use their cars for church GO
ing; the answer, according to the
Fuel Administration, that where
church can be reached reasonably in
another way, the automobile should
not be used and that after all, the
conscience of each citizen will be his
best guide.

the country, all of whom are to be
pressed into service before next sum-
mer, according TO Director Blayney.
Thus far none of the Colorado regis
trants have been called upon, and it
is for this reason that Director Blay-
ney calls attention to the fact that
men should not leave their present
positions until so notified by the Colo
RADIO division of the shipbuilding de-
partment.
In adopting this method, the best
interests of labor will be conserved
and all confusion or misunderstand-
ing eliminated, according to Director
Blayney The men when employed by
the government are to be paid the
prevailing wages for shipbuilders.
