Deer by Member of Party
-Mistook Him for Deer.

Mistaking a white rabbit on
the shoulder of a companion for
the flag of a deer while driving a

ing his death sort time after.
Rocks, Weaver and several
more comprised a hunting party
with their camp near Trout lake,
about thirty miles west of Eagle

started a drive in a strip of tim
Der for deer. Rocks was one OF
the drivers while Weaver
was watching. Rocks shot a
rabbit coming through, and

appeared to be the white tail Of
a deer coming through the brush,
and fired. The bullet struck

qhanksq iOinq Day

c ince the time of the Pilgrim fathers America has
O. celebrated this day. Sometimes in our pros
perity our feasting and merrymaking, the
day loses its significance and forget the conditions
under which this holiday initiated This par
ticulary when most of inclined to find fault with
the world conditions with the government, and with
things in general, should draw a comparison be-
tween our Thanksgiving Day and the first Thanks
giving Day on that bleak New England coast What
did that of the Mayfowers passenger list have
to be thankful for? 1t have been great deal to
them for served impetus for them to start this
national holiday Why they thankful to their
Creator? For just two things; namely, that some OF
them still survived the rgors of that climate and that
they had managed to wiring Scany harvest out of that
stony soil How little satisfied we would be with the
conditions they found them-we who fuss about the
high cost of living when most of us have comfortable
homes and plenty of cothing-we who worry and fret
about the future with granares and bins full We
could indeed take an object lesson from Pilgrim
forefathers Aside from the blessings every side of
us we should be filled with gratitude that magnh-
cent young manhood is no longer prey to the hor
rors of war That blessing, at least, we have gained
over last year. and many would we but take time
in the daily rush of life to hunt for them.

CAMP FOR TOURISTS
Wausau Beats Eagle River
in Establishing Municipal
Camping Grounds.

Eagle River has been "beaten
to it" by Wausau in the estab-
lishment of municipal public
camping grounds for the ourist
automobile traffic in 1920. That
city has been granted the privi-
lege of occupying the county ag-
ricultural grounds and buildings
by the society. and the city will
bear the burden of the cost in up
keep.
The camping place will be in a
natural grove which forms a
part of the agricultural society's
grounds. Fuel and other neces-
sites, such as cooking ovens,
water, rest room and tenting
spots, will be put in place, and
an attendant hired to keep the
grounds in good condition.
Eagle River business men, with
the cooperation of the county
agricultural society, can have
just as fine place as Wausau.
Our grounds are near Trunk
Highway 80, and by the pur-
chase of the grove of pine near
the river and adjoining the fair
grounds, ideal conditions will be
given the tourist on his way
through the lake region.
This winter is the time to per-
feet the plans for public camp
ing grounds for automobiles
who camp out. Last summers
congestion showed us that it is
an absolute necessity.

Home Hunters Put One

Cost When They Land
Moneyed Game Last
Week.

Three local hunters are surely
not travelling with High Cost
link, the much hated individual
who is twisting the innards out
all of us these DAYS. They have
started a beautiful boycott and
his finish so far as they are con-
cerned is a certainty.
Last week Tuesday Edward
Lacau shot a coyote worth
twenty dollars of the state and
county's money; Thursday Ed
Ziebell duplicated that amount
when he killed a timber wolf. On
top of that, Prosper Stein shot a
two hundred pound bear while
hunting Sunday afternoon in the
neighborhood of the Wisconsin
river and Dam lake. Prosper's
bear will furnish some city folks
with Northern Wisconsin grown
steaks at probably a dollar a
pound, and they will call it good
at that.

Homage to Old mperor.
The other day in Danzig--to be
exact. Just six days ago--I was idling
about the city watching it's quaint
| ways and laughing to myself over its
observation-disclosures especially its
squareheaded children. For in Dan
zig they do not even let the children
run gayly home from school. They
march them along in fours with their
rucksacks on their backs, and de-
liver them home solemnly. They
get military discipline from the
cradle. Even the little girls are
marched in fours. It amused me to
follow sixteen little girls pig-tails
along the street as they were being
led by young woman teacher whose
hair was combed back as smooth and
stiff as the little girls the only diff
ference being that hers was tortured
into n hard little knot at the back.
Presently they stopped before a
statue, and I passed them slowly.
The statue was that of Wilhelm I.
At a word from the teacher the little
girls, who were about or s, looked
up at the Prussan soldiers, and, as
far as could make out without APP
pearing to be curious. were told
something like this: This is the
great Emperor wilhelm. your own
Prussian king who conquered the rest
of Germany and surrounding peo-
pies and made the fatherland. He is
the father OF your country and you
must venerate him."
was stiil standing bewildered
when along came q small military
parade which struck up "Deutsch-
land ueber Allies" just as 1t went by
this statue. l was not in Danzig on
a Sunday, but | am told the. whole
city--that is to say, the whole of the
inner commercial city, which is Ger
man--comes down and parades
around the statue of its favorite king
and emperor and thus does him hom-
age.
They Want Our Men to Leave.
When travelling in Germany one
begins to feel the old Prussian spirit
as soon as one starts east from Ber-
lin. West of that point the recovery
is getting on fairly we'll under the
surface, but people sing soft and low
over there. It does not do to lift the
voice with the watch that is now on
the Rhine, though it seemed to me
they were feeling little perkier now
they knew the American soldiers
were going home so fast. For the
American soldier may be anxious to
get home, but he is not half so anx-
ious as the German imperialist is to |
see him get home.
But east of Berlin the spirit Is |
cocky. There the Prussan is at |
home; he has the general staff and |
lots Of troops around him, and he has |
