Homecoming Celebration at Eagle River, Tues. Nov.
Plans being made for tribute who served military and naval

Tuesday, November IL, the first an
niversary of the signing of the arms
tice, is the date wisely chosen for the
Homecoming party for soldiers and
sailors at Eagle River. The women
Of the community met at the home of
Mrs. Amos Radcliffe Monday evening
and arranged program for the event
which promises TO be the biggest So
cial function of the season. Practi-
cally all Of the service men have re-
turned and the time is opportune for
a celebration to show, in a measure,
the appreciation of their services
The date set will give the various
committees time to complete their
arrangements and still be time
enough to allow those from out of
town to make preparations TO attend.
Invitations will be issued to all who
served the colors and a large accept
ance is anticipated.
Mrs. A. X. Everett was made
chairman of the meeting Monday
night. All committees are requested

all other persons attending, to help
defray the costs incidental to the sue
cessful staging of the event.
The success Of the undertaking de-
ponds upon the community spirit put
into it. To make the homecoming
what it should be requires much
work on the part of the various com
mittees and they in turn will have to
call on others for assistance. Be
ready when asked, to do your full
share in promoting the event. Eagle
Rivers work throughout the various
war activities has made a splendid
record. AS elimination the home
coming party is intended to climax
all other events, and with the
thoughtful cooperation of everyone,
it can be done in proper manner. rhe
added signi ficance of Armistice Day
as the time set for the homecoming
should bear weight in the plans of
those for whom the event is given.
Every soldier and sailor is requested
to make special effort to attend,s so
that the celebration will be complete
Remember the date. Make the Hnal
chapter of our war record comm asu-
rate with what has gone before.

Sugar Shortage to Continue.

No relief from the present sugar
shortage is in sight and the probabili-
ties are that conditions will become
worse, the senate agriculture COM
mi6tee was told Saturday by DR..
Alonzo Taylor of the department. of
agriculture.
Consumption has increased about
1877 compared with last year, DR..
Taylor said, due largely due to in
creased manufacture of candy and
soft drinks to satisfy a demand re-
sulting from prohibition. Other
causes given were a rebound from
wartime repression and extravaganza
due to present prosperity.
DR.. Taylor told the committee the
price of sugar had nothing to do with
consumption in the United States as
the people were engaged in an .orgy
of spending and were not trying TO
economic.
There is an increased demand for
sugar in Europe, he said, and if this
country is to get sufficient supplies it.
will have to bid against Europe with
a resulting advance in prices.

WHAT IS IDEAL OF
REORGANIZATION?
Size of Problem is Shown by
Wisconsin Director Don
c. Lescohier of the
Wis. University.

The Eagle River Woman's Club will
meet at the home of Mrs. Alex Hig-
gins tomorrow afternoon and its pro-
gram will be devoted to the subject
of characterization" the topic of
the hour. All members are urged to
attend the meeting and take part in
the discussions. The following paper
will be interesting, not only to club
members, but to others as we'll.
AS a result of his work and study
in the pressing problem of American
ization, Prof. Don. D. Lescohier, who
is in charge of the AmericaniZation
work now being conducted by the
University of Wisconsin has evolved
the following definition as Indicative
of the scope of the work:
characterization is an effort to as
sist the new American citizen to I'M
derstand, appreciate and partake of
the best in American life and thought;
and by the best we mean that which
conforms to the ideals of America;
the political ideals, the moral and
spiritual ideals; The ideals of free and
equal opportunity in living and work
ing; of the fullest expression of the
individual in social state which ex-
lists for each individual.
'sAmericanization is an effort to
provide facilities that will help the
immigrant to fit himself to become,
and fit himself in becoming, an inte-
grail part of America and it's life. 1t
is movement to help him share the
privileges and benefits that democ-
racy offers to it's people; to impress
upon him his obligation to assume his
share of the responsibilities of citi-
zen in democracy; and to train him
for efficient performance of those re-
sponsibilities.
characterization, is, then, a proc
ess of education, of mutual under
standing, of growing together.
"The public schools can reach some
of the adults; the y NJ. and Y. W. G.
A., the social settlements, the welfare
work of the employers, have import
ant parts to play; while the research
work and training Of leaders in the
university are necessary to provide
specialized knowledge and leadership.
Improvements in labor conditions, in
land laws, in the housing of the poor,
and in methods of labor distribution
are as important as any of the educa-
tional work. They will remove many
Of the immigrants causes of bitter
ness. Community and social centers;
women's and civic clubs; and the
aroused interest of churches, paro-
chial schools, fraternal orders, and
companies engaged in land colonial
ton are all essential to the task.
ssIn a word, Americdnization is a
process of mental and spiritual re-
construction-if we may use the
word spiritual in a non-religious
sense-which must be accom- plished
by a multitude Of forces in our
Rational life. The essential thing
now is that those forces be wisely di-
rected so that they may accomplish
the needed result, rather than pro-
duce. evil results by their misdirected
though well intentioned efforts"

Rumme|es Real Estate Sold.

E. f. Hayward of Rummeles (post
office Conover) has sold to Otto Chris
tiansen and three other parties, the
1000 acre tract known as the chop
kiEs Haymeadow." Four families
from Illinois will be here early next
spring to make permanent settlement
and improve this fine tract of land.
Mr.. Hayward has also sold the 80
acres in the same locality formerly
owned by Geo. P. Dickinson, to
Herman Luttkus Of Milwaukee, who
will be here early next spring to
settle upon and improve his little
farm. He also effected the sale of an
other farm to Sheboygan parties,
making total of over LOO acres to
his credit as land salesman, and it
also means more good settlers for
Rummeles district.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayward homestead
ed at Rummeles nearly IL years ago,
and have felt so sure that this locali-
ty would prosper some day that they
have bought sevHral pieces of land in
their vicinity, and have by hard labor
and persistent effort carved from the
wilderness their beautiful ''Hay-
meadow Farm" which shows what
can be done by others. AS Mr.. Hay
ward owns the townsite Of Rummeles
it is possible that nice little village
may spring up within the next few
months

Health Bulletin

Ohio is challenging the other states
of America in a race to make it's citi-
zens the healthiest in the Union.
Each county will have a full-time
health officer, public health nurse,
and clerk. Cities of over $4,000 pop
ulation will have city health depart
ments.
All but four counties have already
organized their health boards. All
of the counties which have com
pleted their budgets have ''gone over
the top" oy providing for larger ex-
penditures than the state legislature
set as the irreducible minimum. The
demand for public health nurses ex-
ceeds the supply.
The Ohio plan recognizes the unes-
capable fact that in this day of rapid
and extended railroad and automo-
bile travel, township and village
health departments cannot be expect
ed to give the public the health pro-
lection that is required, and also,
that by broadening the field OF opera
ton, competent servants can be Sc
cured to render life End health saw
ing service worth the cost.
In Wisconsin, a beginning in this
direction was made by the last legis-
lature which requires that all coun-
ties must employ not later than 1921
at least one public health nurse or
h a t h instructor. Twenty three
counties have already established the
service. Many more will do so at the
November meetings and, as in Ohio,
many will ''go over the top" Already
the demand for we'll qualified nurses
and health instructors exceeds the
supply, but the work of training APP
plicants is proceeding rapidly.
Wisconsin will be a contender in
the race for healthful conditions.

Soldier Bonus Blanks.

County Superintendent A. j. Austin
has received supply Of application
blanks for soldiers, sailors and nurses
who are entitled to receive the bonus
provided for by law. Applicants are
urged to get them early and fill them
out. 1t is the opinion OF the authori-
ties that the bonus will be paid early
in 1920. The question of the state
paying a bonus to it's resident citi-
zens who saw service in the World
War was submitted to vote of the
people in September and the issue
carried by a six to one majority.
Those in Villas county who are ell
titled to the bonus are requested to
make early application to Supt.
Austin for the necessary papers. At
the special meeting OF the county
board last week bond issue was
authorized to take care of Villas coun-
TVS quota of the bonus money.

InsaGd ibi0n TO that, azhAnd Issue is
being considered in Portage county,
From now.on the dominant feature
of highway improvement will be the
issuance of bonds by the counties for
that purpose.
In the counties considering bond is
sues, the process is for the county
road and bridge committee to recom-
mend bond issue at meeting of
the board and if their recommends
tion is followed, resolution is passed
providing for a bond issue, which is
submitted to referendum vote of
the people. Most of these matters
will come up at the annual meetings
of the county boards in November,
and the referendum will be held next
spring. In Brown and Waukesha
counties the matter will possibly be
voted on this year.

ROAD BOND ISSUES
LET IN WISCONSIN
F. A. Cannon Of Good Roads
Association Gives Views
and Figures on the
Bond Question.

Bonding of counties for highway
improvement in Wisconsin is going
forward by leaps and bounds. Five
counties, by popular vote, bonded
themselves in the sum of $l0,850, 900
in the month Of September. In April
Rock county voted bond issue in
the sum of 81, 500, 900.
Eleven counties have under consid-
Grafton the issuance OF bonds for high
way improvement, the total of which
will run upward of S35, 100000.
This will take care of over so per
cent of the population of Wisconsin
It will provide roads for so per cent
of the automobiles owned in the state
and two-thirds of the motor trucks.
The story of the bond issue move
m e n t is interesting. Outagamie
county was the pioneer. In 1916 this
county voted bond issue of 100000.
In 1917 the Outagamie county board
voted bond issue of 1912, 600, and in
1918 duplicated that vote. In 1919
the county voted a bond issue of
$3.50, 900, making a total of 81, 424, 900.
The counties which have bonded

Villas WILL RAISE
BONUS BY BOND.
Special Meeting of County
Board Discussed Road
Problems, Bonus and
Other Business.

At the last special meeting Of the
county board of this county it took the
matter of proposing a bond issue for
highway purposes to the voters un-
der consideration. We do not know
whether the people ere ready to tax
themselves for more roads and bet
ter ones or not. We hope they are,
but if not, it is only question of
time when they will be just as the
counties below have been. In fact,
it is about as useless to try to stop
the progress of good roads as it was
to oppose the primary election law,
the election of u. S. senators by pop
ular vote, granting of suffrage to
women and national prohibition, all
of which were first abhorred, then en-
dured, and then embraced" Bond
issues for good roads have just be-
gun in Wisconsin.
Other business of the county board
at its special meeting last week was
the election of w. j. Walsh to fill the
unexpired term Of the Office of county
surveyor, made vacant by the recent
death of Daniel Graham, and the
election of l.. J. Kuehne to fill Mr..
Graham's place on the committee of
common schools.
Chas A Thomas was elected to
take the place Of Truman Aldrich on
the committee of common schools,
Mr.. Aldrich desiring to be relieved
on account of being out of the county
and state too much to permit of CIV
ing due attention to the duties of the
Office.
The board passed a resolution to
raise by bond issue Villas county's
share and quota of tax levied by Sec
tion 2, Chapter 667, Laws of 1919, to
supply funds for the soldier bonus
law.

New Epidemic is Making the Doctors
Nervous.

Abilene doctors today said they
fear that the strange epidemic of
hiccoughing, reported in several rec
tions of the country, Is becoming pre-
valent here. One physician treated
three cases yesterday, and there have
been other instances Of the malady.
Medical science can throw little
light on the disease, because there
are no records of similar epidemics,
doctors say The person affected
suffers apparently, from three to ten
days and then RECEIVERS. No effective
means of stopping the hiccoughing,
which at times becomes violent, have
been found other than those Of com
mon household knowledge. No fatal
cases so far have been discovered.
Northern Ohio, according to dis
patches, has suffered most, one small
town having more than 300 cases.
