PLANTED BROOK TROUT
Fifteen Cans of Fry Placed
in Villas County Trout
Streams Last Week.

The initial shipment of trout
fry for the 1919 planting season,
was received last Friday from
Madison, being brought up by
Conservation Warden H. ]. Ober-
hotter. who came from Madison
that day. The trout were good
sized fellows and were planted in
Sucker creek and Wisconsin river
below the dam.
The true trout fisherman-the
fellow who is a good. clean sport
and does not take small baby
trout in his creel-is feeling very
friendly to James Nevins, the
head of the fish department of
the Conservation Commission.
For several years Mr.. Nevin has
been aiding the Eagle River trout
sportsmen in replenishing the
streams already about depleted
by the fellow who goes after the
baby fish.

familiar pastime of Checker

the main street has been relegat-

And to keep pace with this
progress. which it was so great
a factor in making, the weekly
newspaper of the old days has,
in numerous instances, become
the daily of the new.
And as to this best evidence OF

MEN FIND SKELETON
Old Abandoned Logging
Camp Gives Up Dead Man
Who Disappeared Two
Years Ago.

According to the Rhinelander
New North the skeleton of a man
was found last week in an old
abandoned logging camp near
Connors lake, and it is believed
to be that of Thomas Morrison,
a teamster, who disappeared
two years ago next April.
Morrison had drove team in
the woods for many years and
was Canadian about 60 years
of age. He was known to be a
hard drinker. 1t is believed that
he wandered into the old camp
while intoxicated and died from
heart failure. Little was said OF
his disappearance at the time
and it was the general opinion
that he had returned to his boy
hood home in Ontario.

Her Birth Anniversary.

Monday of this week will be a
red-letter day for Mrs. Vim.
West. Beginning early in the
morning and ending at midnight
she was the recipient of much
congratulations over her fifty
eighth birth anniversary. The
Vests reside on their farm north
west of the village of Eagle Riv-
er where they have lived for nu-
merous years. Their friends are
all of the friends in the neighbour
hood and the boundaries must
be stretched in order to embrace
the balance of their friends in the
village and adjacent territory.
In the afternoon Monday, the
neighborhood friends, principal
ly ladies. visited Mrs. West at
her home and as result she was
the recipient of tokens of their
friendship and of her having
passed another milestone in life.
In the evening some eighteen
ladies from Eagle River drove
out to the West home and from
that time to midnight it was
"some time," quoting Mr.. West
when he came into town the fol-
lowing day. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
West wish the News to state
they certainly appreciate the
friendships and good wills of the
community at large which have
been shown since their residence
in the county. May the writer
not add that he but voices the
sentiment of the majority that
there is no more enjoyment to be
had than a visit at the West
home at any and all times.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Dedicated to Jim Parfitt, Tom Mac
quaker, Joe Hra brich, Austin Bent
and few others | know.-ED.
WHEN YOU BEGIN TO GET BALD.
That worried, fear-stricken
haunted expression first appears
on your face when you discover
that your hair is falling out
and your friends begin kidding
you like this: ooh, boy, what a
high forehead you're accumula-
ting" and ooh, well, you don't
show your age SO much as that :"
Then's when you start sneak
in into the drug store and, in a
husky voice, ask Richmond, who
eyes you as though you were a
criminal with your victims body
concealed about you somewhere,
for a quart bottle of hair restor-
er. You then beat it away with
sharp chances hither and yon-in
order to dodge inquisitive friends
and acquaintances-and you
handle the bottle with as much
loving care as though you were
an ancient tank in dry town
who had secured a quart Of the
old iazzerino.
You sneak away from the wife
and then rub and stuff your
scalp with high hopes and an
exact regard for the printed d.
rections. Next, you lightly and
cautiously brush your thinning
locks and, with a gulp and a
gasp of intense anguish, discover
more than the normal number of
loose hairs adhering to the bris-
ties. Finally you confront your
wife with bum look and a smell
clinging to you like a damp
cloud hugging hillside on a
misty morning. Your wife gig
giles at you behind your back and
anonymous miscreants send you
skull caps and other useful junk.
When you drift into the barber
shop for shave you expect COM
miseration and coarse laughter
from the razor wielders. Instead,
they run their hands through
your hair with a gladstone smile
and emit gloom destroying line
of dope; What thick hair you
havel!! You have a wonderful
head of hair!!! You'll never be-
come bald!!l But you must take
care of your hair!l! Now this
preparation here will keep your
hair as it is forever, and" Oh,
hoy, you forget about your prev
ious hair restorer experiences,
and you buy everything in the
shop. And your hair still keeps
dropping, dropping out one by
one.

OLD SQUAW GETS FREE.
Charged With Bringing
Liquor on Reservation at
Flambeau-Near Hundred
Years Old.

Julia Frost, who is known as
the oldest spuaw on the Lac du
Flambeau reservation, has re-
turned to her wigwam from
Madison where she was released
when arraigned in Federal court
on the charge of bringing liquor
onto the reservation says the
New North. She was arrested bv
deputy United States marshals
on an old warrant.
Jul1a's exact age has never
been determined. Guesses on the
subject range all the way from
IS to 100 years and some say
that she has even passed the cen
fury mark. Despite her advanced
years Julia displays remarkable
vigor and gives every indication
that she may not journey to the
happy hunting grounds for many
years to come.
Peter Sackatook, another
member of the Lac du Flambeau
tribe, will be obliged to spend
the next 60 days in the Milwau-
kee work house. He was also
forced to pay a fine of 500.
Whiskey was responsible for his
downfall.

SEVERAL OF LARGER SCHOOLS
ARE STILL WITHOUT PRINCE.
PALS FOR NEXT YEAR.
NO FUNDS FOR BUILDING
Chairman Russell Expresses Gratifica-
ton at Action Of Tax Levy Commit.
tee. in Recommending Increase in
Revenues.
tMonday's Daily Herald.)

Again the county board of educa-
ton was deluged with applications for
increased appropriations for schools
from all sections of the county. Sew
eral of the larger consolidated schools
Of the county reported that 1t had so
far been impossible to obtain prin.
cipals al the salaries allowed by the
board Many of the smaller schools
are up against the same proposition
in obtaining the elementary teachers.
Wherever it was possible the board
granted small increases, but in many
cases it was impossible from sheer
lack of funds to pay the salaries that
were requested. A few more teachers
were elected but there are still many
vacancies for which there are no ap-
plicants.
Applications were made for funds at
several places for school buildings,
but the board has no funds available
for this purpose. The members ex-
pressed themselves as being very
much gratifed over the action of the
tax levy committee of the county court
in agreeing to increase the school
taxes both for the teachers fund and
for the building fund,
1.-THE building fund levy has been
long needed" said Chairman W. j.
Russell, of the board I'VE have not
had a dollar really for the past two
years that we could use for building
purposes and in fact have done no
painting or repairing since the war be-
gan. People all over the county
would subscribe literally to building
funds if the board could make an APP
preparation. Every dollar of the in.
creased school funds will be needed
and then | don't see how we are going
to get by. You can't get teachers at
the old salaries"
