HERE FROM NEW YORK
Empey and Party to Spend
Summer in Big Woods
Countrywide at Kentuck
Lake Lodge.

Arthur Guy Empey and party
arrived Monday from New York
and for the coming summer out
ing season will be located at
Kentuck Lake Lodge east of
Eagle River. The party COM
prise Mr.. Empey, his mother
Mrs. X. D. Empey; a sister Mrs.
A. M. Plat and little son; Miss
Florence Martin and Henry
Sigler.
Employs trip to the Big Woods
country last summer learned
him one thing that an outing
in the lake region and woods
territory of North Wisconsin,
while small in comparison with
other places in the States, al
ways proved a boon to the seek
er of thrills, big fish, big mos
quitoes and a bully good time,
with the cream of the country
in health giving qualities thrown
in for good measure. To the
man or woman with real red
blood in their veins, this country
surely appeals, and there is only
one method known to satisfy the
appetite for more of it. That is
to come again, and keep coming.
Sergt. Empey, after his depart
ure from Eagle River last Aug
ust, entered the tank service for
the government recruiting men
for that branch of service.
This he was in until the close of
activities when the armistice
was signed in November. Since
then he has put on several
motion picture plays, and now
has his own company in that
production. Miss Martin, a
member Of his party, is the lead
ing lady in his latest creation
which will be filmed and put out
to the public soon.

HOME AT STATE LINE
Edward LaChance Arrived
Home From France Last
Friday-Saw Seven Days
Fighting.

Terry blew the whistle for
the cessation of the big noise
in France just seven days after
Edw. LaChance had been IN the
fighting lines. LaChance, whose
home is at State Line, went over
across months before he had a
chance to be actively engaged
in hanging on to the coattails of
the fleeing Germans. But at that
with but seven days allotted him
before the armistice was signed,
he saw plenty OF real fighting
and did his share. His brothers
Oliver and Raymond were over
seas at the last account,
although it is supposed that
Oliver is now on ship for the
States.
John Riordan, another Eagle
River boy, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
D. E. Riordan of Milwaukee, has
arrived home from France.
John saw the hardships of the
real fighting as carried on
against the Germans. and came
through without a mark. He
was a member of a machine gun
company and was in service
twenty-six months.
Frank Greek returned yester-
day from Camp Grant where he
had been discharged from over
seas service. Greek, with his
helmet and gas mask bears the
stamp of the overseas man who
saw active service during the
fighting. He is the second son
from the Greek home in Eagle
River to have served his country
at its call in 1917.
William Mahar is reported to
have arrived in the States and
will be home at Watersmeet
soon as discharged. The Mahar
family in that Michigan village
furnished three sons in the army
of Uncle Sam. Bill was formerly
resident Of State Lice where he
operated store.
Frank Rayburn of Star Lake
is now home after a two years
service in the army. He was one
year in France with the 33rd
Division and received his dis
charge from Camp Grant a week
ago.

MThe Psalm of Life"

Many years ago, when Professor
Kneeland was leaving Iceland, the peo-
pie said to him: .Tell LongfellOW
that we love him; tell him we read
and rejoice in his poems; tell him that
Iceland knows him by heart" And,
at about this same time, they were
using in China a fan, which was most
popular there, on account of the
psalm of Life" being printed on 1t
in Chinese.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
JUST FISH STORIES

F. A. Powers, president of the
Uuion Wire Mattress Company,
Chicago, Ill, won a vice-presi-
dency islthe Maple Grove Musky
club at Donaldson, Thursday by
bringing in a 28-pound muskel-
lunge, which he battled with for
forty minutes before being able
to get the huge fish close enough
to his boat to shoot. The fol
lowing day Mr.. Powers again
went out after the big ones and
within an hour he hooked a
second "musky." The fish fought
for nearly an hour and a half,
the boats on the lake gathered
about to see the fun. Angler and
fish fought it out from one shore
of the lake to the other. The
musky weighed 81 pounds when
weighed at the club house at the
Maple Grove resort.
Last week DIR. M. M. VOORHEES,
of Oak Park, ILL.,, hooked a 35
pound muskv. and F. Schaaf,
Milwaukee manufacturer has
brought in three Of the large
fish during the last ten days.
One weighed 80 pounds and the
other two weighed close to 25
pounds each.
Numerous other fisherman
have brought IN muskellunge
weighing between II and 20
pounds; the total muskellunge
caught at Maple Grove since
the season opened May goth, be-
ing II.
Pike and pickerel fishing is
better right now than at any
other time this season. Limit
catches are made daily and the
pike are averaging between
three and four pounds, the fish
being so plentiful that the anglers
refuse to bring in the small ones.
Pike are biting exceptionally
we'll now and the majority of
the sportsmen spend but an
hour or two daily catching this
fish, spending the greater part of
their time seeking out the
musky.
The man bringing in the
largest muskellunge of the sea-
son is thereby elected president
of the Maple Grove Resort
Musky club for the season and
the proprietor, Harry Frank,
gives him $50 rod, reel, line
and tackle.
All anglers bringing in a musky
weighing ten pounds or more IS
automatically elected vice pres
ident of the club.
Muskellunge captures are be-
| ling reported from all over the
lake region. Seems as though
the big fellows know the kaiser

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

If you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out of
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestines all the indi-
gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form Of stomach trouble, are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning in
side-bath. 1t is said that men and
women who try this become enthu-
siastic and keep it up daily. 1t is a
splendid health measure for it Is more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people practice
it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
phate Is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.

to do then is to himself in way to receive more
money from his cotton by holding his cotton acreage
down and devog the remaining acreage to the produc-

DIsPIeased With Center Market.
Mr. Sherman's fayorite stamping
ground in the early morning is Cen
ter Market There he obtained i'm
pressions and facts which have de-
cided him to seek legislation turning
that institution into a municipality
owned affair, not like existing mu-
nicipally owned markets in Washing
ton, but along new lines through
which the consumer can get in direct
touch with the producer, eliminating
large profits and lowering prices He
has not completed his plans He is
merely convinced, he says. that Cen
ter Market prices are far too high
and. that. something should be done
in Washington by the Government L..
experiment with lowering of prices
by bringing consumer and produces
more quickly and closely together.
Congressman Ben Johnson. chair
man Of the House District Commit
tee, holds similar views. With these
two men hammering for legislation
Transforming Center Market there
will be powerful support for such
action. Mr.. Johnson will not be

two is a pretty strong one.
