Several months back subscription solicitor
for the Cloverland Magazine covered Eagle River
and vicinity and secured about 100 subscribers.
Cloverland is published at Menominee, Mich,
and its main purpose in life is advertising cutover
lands in upper Michigan Well say that it
goes over the top in that respect, in every is
sue What led most people here to subscribe was
the statement that Villas and adjoining coun-
ties were to be extensively featured this year.
Oneida county is being we'll displayed in conse-
quence of its county board having appropriated
$500 for advertising in the publication. Villas
county has so far failed to connect with any pub
Iicity which hardly seems fair considering that
Eagle River was headquarters for several days
for the Cloverland representative, who was
one of the most remarkable long distance takers
that the suffering public ever entertained.

FRIDAY, SEPT. IL, 1919

About the most convincing proof that the
much discussed League of Nations is in the main,
a good thing, is that papers or magazines OF ma
tiona prominence are for it rather than against
it, regardless of the fact that Democratic presi-
dent is urging it as the best thing he could OBJ
tain as yet from the foreign powers who the min
ute they ceased having to fight for their lives be-
came fierce rivals for business supremacy or terri
toriaI advantage Most of the critics soon give
one the idea that they wouldn't be so opposed to
the League if only Republican president stood
sponsor for it. The really important writer's
while not claiming perfection for it take the stand
that it is better than nothing, and the best and
quickest way to end the present unsatisfactory
conditions affecting finance and industry.

the case; sheep must have attention
at the hands of those with a knowl-
edge of the business and with a
knowledge of conditions within the
country over which they may be
ranging.
Villas county has large areas of cut
over land. Grasses grow on this
with but little preparation and fur
nish the best kind Of feed for sheep.
Every tract suitable for the industry
is we'll watered. City markets are
near at hand. The combination is
complete. All it needs is the men

and mutton on these acres. A small
flock of sheep on every farm will
prove their value to the owners and
before many years go by the county
will number sheep as one of its big
gest assets Local farmers are be-
coming interested. Several already
have sheep, as was shown by the
stock exhibited at the Villas county
fair last week The favorable condi-
tions for such animals will induce
western ranchers to consider this sec
ton when looking for new ranges for
their 1ocks. Let Villas county be
ready to enjoy it's share of prosperity
to be derived from this new industry.

Need for More consuis.

The chairman Of the shipping board
has called the attention Of congress
and The people TO the need OF eniarg-
ing our consular service abroad. in
view of the fact that our great mcr-
chant marine will be released for use
in foreign trade.
Mr.. Hurley tells us, observes the In
dependent tNew York;, tIaat the Uni
ted States will have 25,000.00O tons OF
merchant shipping by the end OF 1920,
and that rs fast as these ships can be
freed from military work they will en-.
ter commerce. The present consulates
would be entirely inadequate to handle
this enlarged business. There are not
enough of them, their STATS are too
small and they are handicapped by in
experience with duties that will be de-
handed and by antiquated regulations.
Even now the burden Of work, espe-
cially In the way of inquiries to be an
sWered, is overtaxing the uudermanned
and underpaid force. Mr.. Hurley
therefore pleads that immediate steps
be taken to remedy the situation.
"We need more consuls and larger
consular %stnffs," he tells us. "If we do
not provide them today and prepare
for the great growth in our merchant
marine and trade after the war, | fear
hat we shall suffer a serious break

While lie was walking home one
pitcli-black night n Sudden storm
