TOMMY SMASHED THEM
McGregor of Eagle River,
Writes of How They Put it
On to Jerry When the
Real Work Begun.

Tom McGregor( and he is Irish,
you bet) son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thos. McGregor of Eagle River.
writes very interesting letter
under date of January End, of
what happened when Pershing's
buck privates got their feet plant
ed-in other words they put lard
in their hair and pinned their
ears back and went to it. But
at that it makes you feel better
when you can read what one of
ourfellows went through with
million others. and about two
million more in camps in the
United States straining at the
leash ready to 'op to it. Tommy
says:
l was in the last part of the drive
at Chateau Thierry; and in the begin
ming of the St. Miheil driven fact
all through it. Alao on the last rwo
drives OF the Argonne.
Third drive was the largest drive
ever pulled in the history of the
world. 1t extended from the city of
Metz to the Black Sea. The one at
st. Miheil was the first drive under
the command of .. S. generals. The
Germans had held this position for
four years. The barrage started at
II O'Clock and the first wave went
over at s; the second at $50; the third
at 9. We went clear to the third line
trenches before the enemy made any
resistance, We took over 10000 pris-
oners with large amount of ammu-
milton, ambulances, railroad trains
and warehouses. We also took y VII

1t is certainly disgusting to
witness the extreme patriotism
of some newspapers right at the
present time. Before Germany
cried "Kamerad" this pussy

with us in the fight and were
using the milking method to-
ward pro germanism, lie, didn't
want to lose the patronage OF
that element who still believed
in Germany. Now that Germany
got kicked in the Stats, these
newspapers are shouting to high
Heaven, their patriotism" and
are patting the returned soldiers
on the back and telling them
how they fit and bled for them
Some duck hunt. If the boys
would only make them show the

PAID FINE FOR SET GUN
Oscar Crawford of Boulder
junction Assessed $40 For
Using Set Gun.

Game Wardens Gwint and
Weaver brought over from
Boulder Junction last week Oscar
Crawford who was charged
with having set guns for game
Crawford plead guilty and the
court assessed him $50 and
costs, amounting to over $40.
The guns brought over as
evidence, two in number, had
been set in the brush by Craw-
ford for wolves. One of the
weapons was a manufactured
set gun on tripod and swivel
The other was just a regular
double barrelled shotgun with
the barrels sawed off. This was
loaded with slugs, and was a
wicked looking instrument.

JUST FISH STORIES
saWn gsGaaasgGssEgG

Evidences of a life tussle with
Old Spoonhooks-he the uncon-
quered and uncrowned King OF
Catfish lake-can be shown the
unlazy sport who will journey
out to that lake wherein is
known to live the biggest. whop-
pinest, tailwinding muskellunge
of the whole dadbinged family of
fighters.
Somebody 'opped to it and
nabbed Old Spoonhooks, or else
they didn't. But it musta been
some scrap. Here's what can be
seen and possibly vouched for by
Antoine Poisman, an erstwhile
sportsman of he big circuit and
caretaker of Camp Winnepe, that
famous camp for Young America
when the summer months are
blooming, along about July 4th
OF each year.
Must have happened Sunday,
the only day the ungodly tribe OF
Sir lzaak consider to be any good
for fishing. Place is about half
a mile east of Winnepe where the
lake runs up into the woods as
though it at some earlier period
had tried to beat it while the
beatin' was good. Some fellows
must have hooked a big one for
they had chiseled hole at least
four feet ia diameter and through
sixteen inches of ice. Now no
sane man is going to tear out
enough ice to fill Hirzel's ice
house and do it for the fun of the
exercise. The hole in the ice is
there; go investigate and form
YOUR own conclusions as to why
it is there. Poisman didn't do
it. Who did? And why?

HAVE QUIT CRAWLING
Operations on the Highway
Between Conover and State
Line Ceased for Winter.

Owing, it is said to lack of
gravel. work on the Conover-
State Line highway has appar-
emily been abandoned for the
winter by the road crew, which
broke camp last week. The camp
was i'll charge of VIM. Hunter.
Information is from some Of
the crew that there is a lack of
gravel in Mosquito hill, located
a couple miles south of the Wis
consin river bridge on the above
highway.
Camp was established at Mos,
quito hill late this last fall and
active preparations made for OBJ
tanning the gravel from that hill
for the crawling of all the sandy
highway from between a point
this side Of Haymeadow Farm
north of Conover, through Rum
meles station and several miles
north, or nearly to the Wiscon-
sin river. Tractors and sleighs
were to have been used, and
an excellent graveled highway
would have been the result for
tourists to burn up next year
and thereafter from Eagle River
direct to Northern Michigan.
1t is stated that Mosquito hill
gravel is in pockets and the ma
ture of its being taken out would
be very expensive as this time.

GUIDE DEAD
Frank Andrews of the Mani
towish Lake Region One
of the Oldest in That Sec
ton.

In the death of Frank Andrews
the Manitowish waters loses one
of it's oldest and most capable
guides, says the Rhinelander New
North.
Mr.. Andrews was so years old
and for MANY years followed
guiding in the northern Wiscon-
sin fishing and hunting grounds.
He was natural born woods
man and loved the big outdoors.
As an authority on wild life he
had few equals and sportsmen
who engaged him for a guide
nearly always returned with
their quota of fish and game.
Among the tourists from the
big cities who make annual pill
grimages to the Manitowish
country, Andrews had a vast
acquaintance. His unique per-
sonality made lasting impress
sion and his quaint philosophy
never failed to set men thinking.
His passing is noted with deep
regret,

A great mind has thrown out the
suggestion that production on all
lines was the best argument againsI

But to produce more and save a
part, whether II be labor, wages or
commodity prices, is also a very i'm
portant matter.
New and additional capital for the
transaction OF the worlds business
and industries is only created out of
savings.
The wa rhas taught the nation a
great deal along the line of savings
through thrift stamps and the popul-

its part to educate the people to
save.
But the laboring man or woman
and the manager Of any business or
industry can go far to ensure pros
perity by saving a part. In the ag-
gregate these savings will accumul-
ate as new capital and will consti-
tute the new capital needed for in
dusrial expansion.
Increased production and increased
savings should go hand In hand and
thus ensure the capital needed foI
future development.
The country needs greater manu-.

public utilities. more capital. for com

Capital means seed for the sowei
