June Term Finished.

The June term of Circuit Court for
Villas county ended this morning and
was unusually long for the county.
There YER four criminal cases on
the calendar disposed of as fol-
lows:
State of Wisconsin VS.. Mike Maxi
and Jake Uppala, Violation Fish and
Game Laws. Defendants plead gull
ty before the court and sentence was
withheld from Maxi pending his trial
for another offense. Uppala was
placed on probation for one year and
sentence suspended during his good
behavior.
In State of Wisconsin VS.. Mike
Maxi, charged with rape and incest,
his daughter being the victim of his
outrages and a mother at the age of
fourteen has since borne two
other children as the result of his
abuse, the jury rendered a verdict of
guilty as charged in both counts. He
received a sentence of fifteen years
at hard labor in the state prison at
Waupun and left for there this
morning in charge of Sheriff Hanke
Should he survive that experience, a
nine months sojourn in the Villas
county jail awaits him for violation
of the game laws.
Joe Wallis charged with larceny
from the person of his chum, another
lumberjack, was found not guilty by
the jury who evidently thought as did
the court room spectators that it was
the fault of too much booze, especial
ly as the missing money was later
found and returned to the plaintiff
after the trial.
The fourth and last case concerned
the larceny from the premises of
Edw. Gabe, of certain store and re-
sort supplies by Joe Zellner, a former
employee. Evidence in this case was
not deemed sufficient to warrant con-
viction by the jury.
The usual number of default cases
were disposed of and a number of ap-
plications for citizenship granted.
Judge Wickham of Eau Claire
presided in place of Judge Reid and
made a fine impression by his fair
ness to all parties and the clear way
in which he offered instructions to
muddled witnesses or sitting jury.

To junk "WiSCOnSin.'

The battleship Wisconsin is among
eight fighting craft of the pre-dread-
naught class ordered stricken from
the navy active list and will soon be
consigned to the junk pile. The other
ships r the Kearsarge, Kentucky,
Illinois, Alabama, Maine, Missouri
and Ohio. Four of Americas first
''mixed battery ~battleships have
already been stricken from the navy
list. They are the historic Oregon,
Massachusetts, Iowa and Indiana of
Admiral Samson's fleet during the
engagement which resulted in sinking
the Spanish feet off Santiago, Cuba,
July 3rd, 1898. The Wisconsin was
the last word in American battleship
construction in 1902 and her first long
cruise was down the Pacific coast to
Columbia during an i~nsurrection in
that country in 1902.

Prices to Remain High.

Price problems have been under in
vestigation by the department of la
Dor of late. The bureau of labor sta
tistics has found that retail prices for
food reached their peak in December,
1918, and that there were slight de.
clines in January and February, but
advances in the two succeeding
months. In April, 1919, the cost of
twenty-five articles of food combined
was, for the United States as a whole,
IL per cent higher than In April, 1918,
and IS per cent higher than in April
1913.
"It is my belief that the range of
prices for the necessities of life will
average little, if any, lower than at
the present time," said julius Rosen-
valid, head of Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
Chicago, in discussing price tenden.
cies. "Of course, there will be some
exceptions; but / do not look for a
sudden or violent reduction in the
near future aside from those which
have been ar~tifcially stimulated" Mr..
Rosenwald's view Is similar in this re-
spect to that of John j. Arnold, vice.
president of the First National bank
of Chicago, who says it is futile for
industry to wait for industry to wait
for pre-war commodity prices.
Further expressions of opinion on
price tendencies have been collected
by tile information and education SER
vice of the department. of labor, and
may be obtained on application to
that service.

&c Postage on July /.

Postmaster General Burleson has
notified all postmasters that the cur
rent rate of postage on frst-class mail
matter is to be changed, effective
July l, the rate reverting to the old
charge of 2 cents an ounce on all clas-
SeS of letter mail.

by Congress in the revenue law of
Feb. "a, 1919. The rate will revert to
the old status, without respect to
where matter is mailed, there being
no reduction below 2 cents in the
charge on letters for local delivery.

EwaId Bros. Improve Store.

Extensive interior improvements
are being made at tie Ewald Bros.
store this week. By the remova of
partitions the floor space of the STORE
has been doubled giving them another
entrance and ample room for the dis
play of their stock. The rooms for
merly used as ice cream parlors adj
joining the store have been thrown
into one, an improvement that adds
much to the appearance of the store
and facilitates the operation of the
business to a marked degree.

BOY SCOUT WEEK
JUNE 9TH TO 14TH
President Wilson's Official
Proclamation Designates
Period to Strengthen
Scout Movement.
A PROCLAMATION

The Boy Scouts Of America have
rendered notable service to the ma
tion during the world war. They
have done effective work in the Lib
erty Loan and Var Savings cam
paigns, in discovering and reporting
upon the black walnut supply, in Co
operating the Red Cross and other
war work agencies, in acting as dis
patch bearers for the Committee on
Public Information, and in other i'm
pOrtant fields. The Boy Scouts have
not only demonstrated their worth
to the Nation, but have also materi-
ally contributed to a deeper apprecia-
tion by the American people of the
higher conception of patriotism and
good citizenship.
The Boy Scout movement should
not only be preserved, but strength
ened. 1t deserves the support of all
public-spirited citizens. The avail
able means for the Boy Scout move
ment have thus far suf1ced for the
organization and training of only a
small proportion of the country.
There are approximately 10,O0O,O0
boys in the United States. OF these
only $4,000 of Americas youth
are enrolled as members of the Boy
Scouts of America.
America cannot acquit herself COM
~mensurably with her power and inlu-
ence In the great period now facing
her and the ord unless the boys of
America are given better Opportuni-
ties than heretofore to prepare them
selves for the responsibilities of citi-
zenship.
Every nation depends for it's future
upon the proper training and develop
ment of it's youth. The America is
to maintain her ideals, her standards
and her influence in the world.
The plan for a Boy Scout week
during which a universal appeal will
be made to all Americans to supply
the means to put the Boy Scouts of
America in a position to carry for
ward effectively and continuously the
splendid work they doing for the
youth of America, should have the
u~nreserved support of the Nation.
Therefore, L, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, do hereby recommend that
the period beginning Sunday, June 8
to Flag Day, June 18th be observed
as Boy Scout Week throughout the
United States for the purpose of
strengthening the work of the Boy
Scouts of America.
/ earnestly recommend that, in
every community, a Citizens Com
mittee under the leadership of a
National Citizens Committee, be or
ganized to cooperate in carrying out
a program for a definite recognition
Of the effective services rendered by
the Boy Scouts of America; for a sur
vey of the facts relating to the boy
hood of each community, in order
that with the cooperation of church
es, schools and other organizations
definitely engaged in work for boys,
adequate provision may be made for
extending the Boy Scout program to
a larger proportion of American boy
hood.

The ReaI butterfly"

The name for the butterfly did not
originate from "futter," but from low
German and Hollandish. Over In Hol-
land there is a butterfly that lives
whenever possible on butter and milk.
He is and always has been a nuisance
to the Dutch wives and has always
been called the 'butterf1iege," or but
terfy.

Chinese as Rice Growers.

The Chinese introduced rice culture
to Hawaii, and they are still the chief
rice growers of the islands. They first
planted sugar cane at the Crossroads
of the Pacific" and manufactured SUE
gar, and when the Hawaiians began to
cease the cultivation of taro it was
the Chinese who became the tarO
planters.

otals----23l5 acres 1851 acres

We believe the above figures are
too conservative to do justice ito the
crop increases in Villas county, es-
pecially during the last two or three
years. Baslng our belief on the in
crease in the number of silos now
built and under construction, and the
steady introduction of pure bred cat
tie into the county, we are SUI this
years census would show a more than
proportionate increase over the above
figures.

Surprising things happen in "The
Demon" the scenes of which are laid
in Algieres, in an African desert and
on the island of Corsica. The sur
roundings are picturesque, and Edith
Storey as the Princess Perdita, who is
sold as a slave in childhood, has a
fascinating role, to which her acting
does ample justice. There are no dull
moments when Perdita is around.

Movie Notes.

Cyclone" Higgins earns his name
by being a whirIwind in a fight. He
is a travelling parson who is willing to
battle for his principles with his fists
as well as his brain. It takes him a
long time to get into action, but
when he does there is excitement and
Cyclone never quits until he has
swept all before him.
