Gov. Louis F. Hart had wired State

meeting of western governors at Salt
Lake City, that he would call an ex-
ira session of the legislature some
time this winter to ratify the suffrage
amendment to the u. S. Constitution
and telling Savage urge all the other
governors to do likewise"
We wonder if the governor did not

IF not, why this sudden change Of

Dolanski and Jimmy of Villas
County and Mahar of
Watersmeet Can Now
Wear "Civvies" Again.

Three smiling doughboys, two
from overseas and one from
United States camps, are home
from service with the privilege
OF again becoming civilian citi-
zens OF the greatest country that
ever grew real men.
Thursday last saw the return
of Fred Dolanski from overseas
where he had been for over a
year = in fact in less than a
month after his entry into SER

in France. He was in the 1O8th

did not get into the real "hot
stuff" After the armistice was
sighed he was assigned as chauf-
feur to officers. He arrived in
New York a couple weeks ago
and was discharged from Camp
Grant last week.
Edward Jimmy, who seen
twenty-five months service in
different camps in the States,
came to his home county, Villas,
Friday. Jimmy had the time of
his life while in service. Wanted
to 60 over and smash the devil
out of the dutch, but between
being in the hospital two thirds
of the time, and for several
months having his credentials
over in France (while he was
lost in some hospital), he failed
to make the one objective he was
after from the start. He was one
of the original men from Villas
county in old Company H at
Camp Grant. He was with |

Bumbalek, Pemberton, Rade,
and about forty-'leven other

After This Year Spud
Record.
Warning to Radcliffes of Eagle
River. Kinney and Campbell of
Three Lakes and a multitude OF
other fellows who arein thespud
growing contest now in the
making for the 1919 harvest.
Fellow farmers in the town OF
Arbor Vitae, such as John Han
son Louis Grenler, julie Trappe,
and more whom we know not
their names at this writing, are
into the potato growing game
this wear with all their efforts
and cultivated soil at their dis
nosal. 1t is a fine idea to see
the various Villas county farmers
oct the bug and contest for hon
ors in the spud crop which will
he q hummer if Nature doesn't
spring a boner before the har-
vest.
Hanson and Grenier both
claim around forty acres each in
choice spuds and defy all other
growers as to production and
quality when the final count is
made. Trappe and others are
not saving much, but when the
wood saving contest IS pulled
off this fall at harvest time, look
out. Grenier and Trappe prior
to this year have been the leaders
in Arbor Vitae spud growing.
Hanson is the real dark horse
that has entered the race, and
the going IS going to be some
speed spud contest when harvest
time approaches.
Jacob Huber who is just out
of this county in Oneida, will
harvest something like sixty
acres this year.
Kinney of Three Lakes will
raise Huber's bet and produce
in the neighborhood of two
hundred acres on his farm of a
thousand acres which lies partly
in Villas, YOU bet. Campbell,
also of Three Lakes hasn't given
out his acreage yet, but you
can bank on it that it will not be
small.
RadcliHes, OF Neverslip Farm
northwest OF Eagle River are
humping their acreage, and say
that when any fellow wants to
see a real potato farm, to visit
theirs. But then, why worry.
Every one of the farmers in the
spud game, whether he has two
acres or two thousand, will do
his best to produce the prize
stock for Villas county's prize
winning exhibit at the state fair
which we certainly will have
there this year for the outside
and the inside man to see. Get

BASE BALL AND BOOZE
National Pastime Sunday
Marred and Busted By a
Drunken Bunch of Piffli-
Gated Indians Not on the
Team.

Sundays ball game was a
mixed metaphor. Between a
bunch of drunken Indians, who
were not on the regular Flam-
beau Indian ball team, but who
hailed from various towns in the
county, and were pihlicated root
ers for members of their tribe,
and the lack of interest in arrest
ing the gang of disturbers, the
game between Flambeau and
Eagle River went "blooey."
That is, the soused Indians had
claimed a rank decision was Civ
en- their players and started
row, and were the cause OF the
Flambeau brethren walking off
the field when the game in the
sixth inning stood 4 to 3 in fav-
or of Flambeau.
Flambeau's team of Indians
were clean and played the finest
game of ball the fans could wish
to see. They were satisfied with
everything until the car load of
soused redmen drove onto the
field yelling and waving their
hands and started a free-(or-all
with men on the Eagle River ball
team and fans near the side lines.
