Spuds Will Be High

It is stated that State Treasurer
Henry johnson predicts the retail
price of potatoes this fall at from
So. so to So. 90 n bushel. He bases his
assertion on the observations of a
trip recently made thru some of the
biggest potato growing sections OF
the state.
SIN the first place there is 1917 re-
duction in the acreage of potatoes
this year, )" said Johnson, "a late June
frost is said to have cut the crop 2O%,
the leaf hopper and drought have cut
it from 20% to 30% more, so there will
be less than one half the normal crop
this fall. The crop of early potatoes
is practically failure, find"
Villas county potato growers do not
seem to be suffering any of the bad
luck ascribed to the crop in other Sec
tions. In this locality spuds look
good. There has been abundant rain
and plenty of sunshine at the time
most needed and all indications point
to big crop. Should the retail price
be what Mr.. Johnson believes it will,
then Villas county potato men are in
for good cash crop this season.

Honor Noted Missionary.

Among the relics preserved on the
island of Tahiti is the burial place OF
Rev. Henry Mott, one of the first, and
considered the greatest, of the mission
aries who went to the South Seas in
the early days, The mission sent out
from England to Tahiti in 1896 was
the first undertaken by the London
Missionary society after its formation.
Henry Mott was of this company who
landed from the ship Duff, commanded
by Capt James Wilson, at Matavai
bay, Tahiti, in 1897. From that time
until his death in 1874 he labored with
out ceasing in the island. It was he
who first translated the Scriptures, di-
rectly from the original Hebrew and
Greek texts, into the Tahitian Ian
guage.

Tom McGregor Home

Tom McGregor returned home
Wednesday after two years and two
months service with Battery B, 10th
Field Artillery, a year and three
months of which time was spent ov-
erseas. Tom enlisted in June, 1917,
and after training at various camps
in this country was sent across early
in 1918. His battery went up into
the line in the famous Chateau
Thierry battle and from that time on
he was in four major offensi7es in
which the First American Army
participated, fighting at Chateau
Thierry, Cantigny, St. Mihiel and
the Argonne-M euse actions. On his
first trip up the line he met Lloyd
Raymond, the only Eagle River boy
he saw while overseas. Wilbur
Knox, and Alex McGregor of Sayner
were two more Villas county boys in
his battery, and the three went
through all the actions together.
w 1lOuA Id INV du Il VA AOO&O
re-enlisted for another year and Alex
is now at his home at Sayner Afte r
the armistice was signed, the 4th
Division of the First Army was made
a part of the Army of Occupation,
which entered Germany. The boys
were at Coblentz and other points
until starting for home a month
ago. Tom saw much action and
gives some interesting side lights on
the countries and peoples encount-
cred in his travels. He saw the de-
vastated areas Of France and Bel
GUM, and states that words cannot
describe the conditions there result
ing from the havoc of war. He is
the last son of Mr.. and Mrs Nc
Gregor to return from service. His
two brothers, Francis and Del
served in the army and navy but
were discharged without getting a
chance to cross the pond.

Farmer Of Today
His Opinion Is Sought and
Respected

Urban sophisticatiOn In the cities
poked fun, before the war, at the
farmer. He was supposed to be un-
couth and gullible-a child Of nature.
He chewed straw and pulled his
beard and creased his boots and rose
by lamplight, and was man with a
hoe among the herds and orchards, a
man to whom the great round world
was a blank page or distant myth.
Now that is changed, says a writer
In the Philadelphia Ledger. The far
mer is an applied scientist, whose opin-
ion is sought and respected, with
whose hand, as it is busy or idle, is
the feeding or starving of the nations.
For millions during the war life has
been a grim, unmitigated quest Of
food. The farm has had to yield by
intensive cultivation many times its
former produce, and marketing in hap
hazard ways has had to yield to me-
thodic and speedy transportation.
Farm work and farm life today utilize
every last development Of engineering.
The machinery has revolutionized
farm labor, and electricity and gaso-
line are the greatest of all hired
hands. The motorcar, the tractor, the
dairy machinery, the telephone are
commonplaces where once they were
unknown.
The demobilized fighter no longer
regards indifferently or scornfully the
chance the farm holds out to him.
The fields are clamoring for him
fields where the battle is for life and
not for destruction.

BISHOP WELLER HOME !
FROM EUROPEAN TOUR
Episcopal PreIate Returns
From Five Months Trip
in Europe and Asia
Minor.

Members of ST. IgnaLius Episcopal
church and other Eagle River friends
of Bishop r. III. Weller will be inter
ested in the following article regard
ing his trip abroad, taken from the
Rhinelander New North:
After spending the last five
months in Europe and Asia Minor in
the interests of church unity, during
which time he conferred with the
heads of various denominations and
civil and military authorities, Rt.
Rev. r. H. Weller, bishop of the
Fond du Lac diocese of the Episcopal
church, has returned home. He is at
present resting at his summer lodge
at Green Lake.
While the bishop was in Jerusalem
several weeks ago he was presented
with valuable pectoral cross and
chain by the Patriarch of Palestine.
The cross and chain are carved from
mother of pearl and are linked to-
gether with silver. Bishop Weller
values the cross very highly. 1t is
said to be worth many thousands of
dollars.
On Easter day Bishop Weller read
the gospel for the day in the English
language in the Patriarch's cathedral,
where hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie gathered to worship. Bishop
Weller said that the gospel was read
in nine different languages at the
service. He said that in the church
es the congregations stand thruout
the entire service, as no pews are pro-
vided.
While in Jerusalem, Bishop Weller
attended banquet given in honor OF
the birthday of King George of Eng
land in beautiful palace built by
the ex-kaiser of Germany on the
Mount of Olives. The palace was
completed by the former German
emperor just before the world war
broke out The British military
authorities are now in possession.
During their stay in Asia Minor
Bishop Weller and DR.. Rodgers had
the privilege of a visit with General
Allenby, head of the British army in
the far East. General Allenby was
very courteous to the prelate, extend
ing many privileges to him. The
general assisted Bishop Weller and
Father Rogers in travelling from
Cairo to Jerusalem over military
road.
In Rome, the members of the
American commission of the Episco-
pal church met and had luncheon
with Thomas Nelson Page, American
ambassador, and his wife,
Altho he was i'll for short time
while in Paris, Bishop Weller has
fully recovered and is now in ex-
cellent health.

Celebrated Silver Wedding.

About fifty friends of Mr. and
Mrs. Ketz passed an enjoyable day
Sunday at their home four miles
north of town. It was the occasion
of their twenty fifth wedding ami
versary and was made happier by
the presence of all their children.
An elaborate dinner was served and
fine musical program furnished by
the younger members of the family.
Many nice pieces of silverWare were
presented Mr. and Mrs. Ketz by the
friends who have enjoyed the bounti-
full hospitality of their home and
who wish that their family may re-
main unbroken during the next
quarter of century at least.

DEATH CALLS MRS.
FRANK H. DILDINE
Well Known Resident Dies
Suddenly After Long
Period of iii Health.
Funeral Aug. 6.

Stricken with paralysis Friday
morning, Mrs. Frank III. Dildine
answered the final summons at her
home here early Sunday morning.
Her passing was distinct shock to
her family for although an invalid
for several years, she had been bet
ter OF late. Her maiden name was
Minerva Adams and she was born in
Michigan sixty three years ago. She
was married there to 0. W. Avery
and they came to Eagle River about
thirty years ago and she had resided
here since. One child was born
of this marriage, now Mrs. Hazel
Brazell, of Milwaukee. After the
death of Mr.. Avery, she married
F. III. Dildine in 1902.
Mrs. Dildine was devoted to her
home and family to marked degree
but until afflicted with i'll health
that kept her closely at home was
always active in deeds of neighborly
kindness and friendship, and there
are many who will remember the
times when her kind ministrations
lightened the burden in homes dark
ened by sickness or death and their
sympathy isextended to the surviv-
ing husband and daughter in their
grief that even time will only soften,
not remove.
Funeral services were held Wednes-
day from st. Ignatius' Episcopal
church of which the deceased was a
member, conducted by Rev. r. f.
Kiercher.

W. C. 7. U. MEETS
White Ribbon Delegates
Convene at Congregational
Church, Tuesday and
Wednesday, Aug. Sc.

The convention of the Inter Coun-
ty w. G.. +. U. was entertained by
the local union, Tuesday and
Wednesday, August 9Th and 9th.
Delegates from Rhinelander, Amigo
and Crandon were present.
Tuesday afternoon the executive
board meeting was held after which
supper was served from the bar in
the Hirzel building. This was unique
and interesting as it marked the first
experience of these ladies entering
even an ex-saloon. The ladies were
treated to an auto ride.
1t is to be regretted that SO many
town people missed the splendid pro-
gram of Tuesday evening in the
Congregational church. The conyen-
tion was welcomed by Rev. Davies
and response was given by Mrs. /. HI.
Bean of Crandon. Mrs. Josephine
Sizer gave a very forceful and inter-
esting address on the work of the
w. G. t. u. and the Jubilee Drive.
Two splendid solos were rendered by
Rev. w. ]. Davies and B. F. Strong.
A girls chorus was well received.
Wednesday was occupied with cleo
tion of officers and other business.
The following officers were elected:
President Mrs. Crosby, Rhinelander
v. Pres. Mrs. Sherwood, Amigo
Rec. Sec'y ~. Mrs. Beckhart, Amigo
Cor. Sec'y Mrs. Reik, Rhinelander
Treasurer Mrs. Nash, Eagle River
On Wednesday Afternoon two excel
lent programs were read "The Child
and his Imagination by Mrs. Lawler
of Eagle River, and 'The Future
Activities of the w. G. T. u" by
Mrs. Farnham of Amigo. Music con-
sisted of Ladies' Chorus and Jubilee
Songs.
There is mistaken idea af1oat that
the w. c. T. U. is engaged in an ac-
tive campaign against tobacco. Anti
Narcotics has always been one of the
important branches of work and will
continue as such, and the organiza-
tion has always disfavored the use of
tobacco, especially cigarets, but as
yet no plans have been laid for an &C
tive campaign against these evils.
Out of town visitors were:
Amigo Mrs. A. G. Muzzy, Mrs.
Helen Vaughan, Mrs. L. Farnham,
Mrs. e. Beckhart and daughter, Mrs.
Lillian Sherwood, Mrs. Dixon.
Rhinelander-Mrs. G. P. Crosby,
Mrs. r. Little, Mrs. @. j. Keep, Mrs..

Antipathy Shown to Kings
and Queens on Early Cards

Early American playing cards, ac-
cording to an article in the American
Printer, showed the national antipathy
to kings and queens by presenting, in
stead of the conventional figures with
which playing cards are now adorned,
the following pictures: president Of
hearts, George Washington; Of dia-
monds, John Adams; of clubs, Benja-
min Franklin; of spades, Lafayette.
The "queens" were Venus, Fortune,
Ceres and Minerva. The knaves were
represented, appropriately rejecting
the general feeling among the whites,
by pictures of Indian chiefs.

The Unknown Quantity.

When thing like that happens a
man does not know exactly where he
is or how he feels. The largeness and
the smallness of the world amaze him;
the mystery of life bewilders him; he
is confused in the presence Of the un-
known quantity. How he behaves,
what he says or does, depends entirely
upon instincts beyond his control. This
is what happened to Richard when he
heard the voice of Carola.-Henry
Van Dyke.
