EAGLE RIVER WINS
FLAMBEAU GAME
Fast Fourth of July Game Is
Won by Local Team, 6
and 3. VIII Play
RhineIander. Sun.

In spite of the rain, baseball fans
saw a good game July Fourth The
Flambeau Indians, living up to their
reputation as fast ball players, came
over and gave the home team a close
match. 1t had rained for practically
twenty hours previous to the time
the game was called and consequent
ly the grounds were very wet and
sticky, making playing hard. Saw
dust dried up the worst spots OF mud
and water and the game was called
at five o'clock. In the excitement of
the game, supper was forgotten until
the nine innings had been played.
Flambeau scored three to our n in
the first five innings and the alright
game the visitors were playing at
that time made it look like a victory
for them. But Eagle River nailed
another run in Ghe sixth and then
pulled the famous seyenth-inning
rally for three more scores, and
cinched the game with another tally
in the eighth. 1t was a good game.
Frankel, pitching for the home team,
allowed only four hits, Shadamo
being found for twice that number.
There were five errors on each side,
caused mainly by the wet ground and
mud. Fans got their moneys worth
of good ball playing that day.
The game as taken from the score
book is given below:

Soldiers Bonus Urged.

Madison, Wis.-The soldiers bonus
bill, center of interest in Tuesdays
senate session, could not be disposed
of until late in the day, as it was far
down on the calendar. Members ar
rived Monday night and early Tues
day and conferences we're held, but
we're not productive of a decis ion.
The senate has been appealed to by
manufacturers in virtually all parts
of the state to support the cover
nor's referendum plan. Senators ar
irving Tuesday found their mail
heavy with letters from manufactur-
ers in their districts and in many
S from other localities. The con-
certed movement indicates that the
governors plan is popular with bust
ness interests.
The campaignfor a referendum
apparently vas fathered by the Wis
consin Manufacturers association,
letters urging that members bring
influence to bear upon the senate
having been sent out signed by the
secretary Of the association.

Health Bulletin

How 80 many women whose work
compels them to stand or walk for
several hours a day are able to wear
the awful shoes they do is a mystery.
It is doubtful if many men would
have the physical strength to stand
the strain. Perhaps, however, it is
vanity and muscle training rather
than natural endurance that enable
the so-called weaker sex to do the
trick.
A waitress behind one of MilWau-
KEGS busiest lunch counters has a
pair of so badly balanced high heeled
shoes that the marvel is that she
does not sprain her ankles as she
rushes back and forth. Her back and
legs must ache frightfully at night
but she probably charges this against
the hard work she does rather
than the ugly and ridicu lous shoes
she wears. If anybody, her father or
mother especially, were to suggest
that the shoes rather than the job
were at fault, she would probably be
as indignant as the young Irish girl,
who one day set a whole class of med
zeal students laughing at their in
structor.
This young woman wore shoes
which were obviously far too small.
The professor said, "Young woman,
don't those shoes hurt2"
NO." replied the patient, sit isn't
me shoes that hurt, it's me fate that
hurt and they're most KILN me-"
It is really too bad that women
land some mem do not have feet
which were created in the shape of
the shoes they like.

Adams Elected Clerk.

At the district school meeting of
the town of Eagle River, held Mon.
day night, about one half dozen were
infested enough in school affairs to
attend. Ernest Adams was re-elect-
ed a. clerk for the three-year term
by the unanimous vote of the dist
riot, or as much of it as was there
and were well rewarded when Ernie
in his speech Of acceptance paid a
beautiful tribute to those who had
sacrificed an hour of precious day
light to show their loyalty and devo-
tion to him and %education's cause.
His words Of appreciation brought
tears to the eyes Of everyone, includ-
ing Fred Strong who at the opening
of the meeting thought OF resigning
as treasurer and running for clerk to.
create some excitement, and admit
ted later that he was glad that he
had remained in the. ranks OF those
who were for Adams first, last. and
all the time.
judging from the attendance, not
many will be interested in the finan-
cial report of the treasurer, SO we'll
give it briefly.
The cost of operating the graded
schools was approximately, $4,000.
On hand about $1,000.
Levied for next year $500.
State aid, tuition, ETC., is expect
ed to bring the fund to normal.

Highway Legislation

This is the second of a series of four art
icles covering the important highway legisla-
ton enacted by the 1919 session of the
legislature. A reading Of these Ia VS.
will show that many vital changes have been
made.l
Except for fragmentary provisions,
Wisconsin has had no law regulating
highway traffic. With the increase
in the number of motor vehicles and
the advent of the motor truck with
it's big load, within recent years most
of the eastern states have devised
measures of this character. Wiscon-
sin has just stepped into the' breach
with a traffic regulation law upon
which State Engineer Hirst and the
Joint Highway Committee spent
much time and study and which has
passed both houses.
In it's broad outlines, it covers the
size, weight on tires, width of tires,
weight of load, and speed of motor
trucks, trailers, and tractors used on
public highways. BY the term trac-
tor is not meant the farm tractor,
but those used for commercial haul
ing. as defined in the bill, "a self
propelled vehicle used exclusively for
commercial hauling purposes"
The new measure limits the maxi
mum gross weight of vehicle and load
combined to $4,000 pounds, and the
maximum gross weight of vehicle
and load combined on any axle to 49,
900 pounds. The total weight of the
portion of the vehicle ard load com
bined resting upon any wheel is limi-
ted to 800 pounds per inch Of tire. It
provides that motor trucks or COM
mercial haulage tractors shall have
tires Of rubber or some other materi-
al or construction of equal resilency
1t limits the width of loads to SO in
ches, and the length to 30 feet ex-
cept when the load carried is loose
hay or straw or similar material.
In the matter Of speed, the bill fix
es it for vehicles more than three
tons and less than six, including We
hicle and load, equipped with pneu-
matte tires at 20 miles per hour;
equipped with two or more solid
tires Is miles per hour. Vehicles
weighing six tons or more with pneu-
matte tires 16 miles per hour, and
with two or more solid tires II miles.
Vehicles equipped with metal tires
weighing more than three tons load
and vehicle combined are limited to
a speed of six miles per hour. These
speeds are to supplement and not re-
place those otherwise specified in the
statute.
There are several clauses providing
for exceptions to the operation of the
act. Permits may granted for the
operation of trainso of tractors, trail
ers. or wagons not exceeding 100 feet

Nonresident Fishing Licenses

The legislature Of 1919 has made
the following changes in Sec. 29.14
covering the sale of nonresident fish
ing licenses, effective July 1st:
(a) The fee has been raised from 81
to So but such a license does not in
clude trout fishing.
(b) The fee for a trout fishing Ii
cense is So and such license permits
angling for any variety of fish in ac-
cordaDce to the fish and game laws.
(c) A nonresident who has pur-
chased a So license may secure a trout
fishing license by turning i'll his So
license plus 81. His license,
however, will not include more ship
ping coupons than those attached to
his old So license.
(d) Trout cannot be shipped. There
is no change in the law as to the
transportation of game fish.

in length between s p. m: and 5 a.. m.
on routes specified in the permit. If
necessary to transport a single arti-
Gle weighing $4,000 pounds or more, a
permit may be granted upon deposit
ing a bond or certified checkbo hold
the unit Of government granting it
harmless from any claim, and con-
ditioned upon the restoring of any
street or culvert which may be in
jured through transporting the arti-
Gle. 4
If a highway or street is liable to
be destroyed or seriously damaged by
a vehicle, being in a soft condition,
the load weight on tires may be re-
stricted to 400 pounds per inch by
the proper officials placing a. sign
prohibiting traffic in excess of that
section of road. This prohibition
may not extend over sixty days in
any calendar year. No load on any
motor truck, tractor, or trailer shall
project more than four feet beyond
the end of the vehicle unless during
a. period after a half hour after sun
set AMI before one half hour before
sunrise on the next day, and a red
warning light shall be carried on the
projecting load.
The bill strikes at the narrow Wag-
on tire evil by providing that no
wagon or other wheeled vehicle, ex-
cept animal drawn pleasure vehicles
seating less than eight persons, with
tires less than three inches in width
shall be sold in Wisconsin after July
/, 1920. This bars the sale of the
two inch tired farm wagon, but per-
mits the sale Of buggies with tires of
that width.
1t regulates farm tractor and trac-
tion engine transportation by pro-
viding that no tractor or traction en-
CINE with a fiange, cleat, spud, lug or
other production extending more
than two inches beyond the surface
Of the wheel, shall be permitted on
public highways.
Another section Of the bill prohi-
bits vehicles from standing along the
roadway in such a manner as to in,
terfere with free traffic, except to
make absolutely necessary repairs.
There must be left a free and Use
bic passageway of at least Is feet,
Cities of the first, second, and
third class are empowered to enact
such additional rules and regulation
for traffic as they deem fit. The n
forcement Of this law and the power
of granting permits is vested in the
official in charge of streets or high
ways in any unit of government,
such as the Commissioner of Public
Works in cities and the county Road
and Bridge Committee and the Coun-
ty Highway Commissioner on coun7
try roads. A violation Of the statute
is made a misdemeanor, subject to a
fine of not exceeding 800 for each
%offense, and beyond and above that,
the owner of a vehicle damaging a
street or other highway is liable in a
civil action to recover the damage
done.
The final section of the statute
provides that those. sections relating
to wagons shall not be in effec ct in a
county if the County Board by a ma
jority vote of the members of the
board decides to the contrary.

when saving was considered more i'm
portant than during war times and
now-immediately following. The
thrift habit has been formed by
many, ever the youngest children,
the Thrift stamp being the unit of
saving.
There are many things to save for,
for example:
For the rainy day, or to take adj
vantage of a sunny opportunity.
To provide for old age, insurance,
or an income.
To buy a home or to get married.
To establish your family on Safety
Lane.
To give children an education or a
start in life.
To have a "Turn Around fund
which will enable you comfortably to
meet future adjustments in business
or in employment.
To take a future vacation or to
make a welI-considered purchase.
All that you do when you save in
diligently is to make certain that
you get your moneys worth in goods,
comfort, service, recreation or adj
vancemeDt.
No n works for money; we all
work for what money will buy.
Those who, by thinking before they
make the money they
earn buy more for them, actually get
more for their work than does the
thoughtless spender. The one who is
both a wise spender and an intelli-
gent saver gets most for his work.

OBSERVED
DESPITE ]. PLUVIUS
Days Program Crowded
Into Half Day. Rabbi
Hirschberg of Mil
waukee Spoke.

Rain, rain, and more rain. That
was the order of the day on July
Fourth. Starting in the evening be-
fore, it came down steadily and kept
at it until the nations birthday was
pretty well over. The all day cele-
bration planned in most places had
to be curtailed somewhat, but most
towns found enough dry spots to
stage at least a part of their pro-
gram.
Up to noon it looked rather dubi-
Gus for the local observance of the
day. But the speaker of the day ar
rived at that time and his part of the
program was held at the opera
House. Then it began to clear up
and the races scheduled for the
morning were held, followed by the
ball game which began at five
O'Clock. In the evening the remain
der of the days program was crowd
ed in so that the entire bill of events
was disposed of. somewhat out of the
order planned, but all there never
theleSS.
Rabbi Samuel Hirschberg of Mil
waukee, who is summering at Say
ner, was the speaker of the day. At
the opera house he was introduced
by Dist. Atty. O'Connor, who gave a
brief review of the county's work
during the great war. The Rabbi
followed with a convincing address
on the great significance of Independ-
ence Day This year showing how the
United States in the short LAB years
of its history had risen from a ma
tion without standing in the Old
World to the leadership it has now
attained. Eagle River seldom gets
the opportunity to hear a man of
such prominence as Rev. Hirschberg,
and his remarks were fully a%pprecia-
ted. He has been a ~tireless worker
for Americas cause and his argu-
ments are based on true American
ism as the hope OF this nation in its
future welfare. 1t is to be hoped
that Eagle River citizens will have
further opportunity TO hear Rabbi
Hirschberg.
The celebration at Eagle River
showed one thing, and that is,
that the citizens had not forgotten
the true spirit of the day. Every
event was entered into with a whole
heartedness that was gratifying TO
the committees in charge, everyone
doing their share to make the day a
success when, with such weather as
prevailed most of the day. it could
have been a dismal failure.
The Eagle River band although
prevented from getting into action
until afternoon gave a good account
of itself from then On closing with a
much appreciated evening concert in
the band stand, and again conclusive
~ proved its value in contributing
to the success of public entertain
mentS.
Phelps had planned a big day for
the Fourth but the rain upset that
towns plans from the start. How
ever, making the best of the circum-
Stances it's citizens held part of
their program on the Fourth and
the remainder on the fifth and the
final result was good. Out-of-town
visitors would have been there in
greater number had weather per-
mitted but the program was staged
as advertised, showing much work on
the part of those in charge, and CIV
ing the citizens a fitting celebration
commensurate with their live town.

The call money market during the
week maintained greater ease than
in the weeks preceding. From the
previous rigid per cent, rates de-
clined often to per cent. This came
in spite of the Liberty Loan and in
spite of the highest stock market
activity felt during any week of the
year. There was also a tendency
toward ease in the long term money
market. 1t is apparent that when
the present loan is out of the way,
the government will use the proceeds
for paying off the certificates of in
debtedness as they mature every two
weeks or so. This process will take
the place Of the process going on
before the present loan was offered
to the public, undor which the banks
were called upon to subscribe to sew
eral hundred millions of these notes
every two weeks. 1t is not probable
that there will be nothing but gov
ornment repayment. Certificates Of
indebtedness issues will continue to
make their appearance, But as gov
