came in this past week preparatory to
slaughtering the deer in Michigan.

days of the sport, while Wisconsin
hunters only have ten days. By the
looks of the weather the past few
days, it may be soft season.

merly lived here. The wedding took

Say you farmers Of Phelps town
ship, do you know Phelps boasts OF a
Civic Welfare Club, called the Welfare
Club of Phelps? There is, but there
are too few of our farmers who are
members of this Live Organization.
At the last meeting young farmer,
who had never attended before, stated
that, ''he was we'll paid for the yearly
membership fee, by attending the one
meeting" You farmers who do not
belong are really missing something
of value. On Sunday afternoon, No>
vember 18th at 2:30 p. M. there will
be meeting of the Welfare club at
the town hall. Oscar Gunderson. our
county agent, will be at this meeting
and speak to the assembly on 1.-The
First Steps a New Settler Should Take
in making Home in the Woods =
He will also devote some time to the
discussion Of potatoes as cash crop.
Every man in the wnship should
be at this meeting.
Much interest is being shown by the
mem bers of the Welfare club and.
others in complete telephone sys-
tenn for the township of Phelps, run
ming thru to Iron River Oh the east
and taking in part of the Conover dis
erict on the west. Before winter i
over we will perhaps see considera bic
development in the telephone matter.
A committee has been appointed to
take charge of the potato organization
among the farmers.
A committee has also been appoint
ed to look into the matter of rural
free delivery.
The club went on with regards to
the effect that they are against the
buying of venison by the citizens of
Phelps. 1t has come to notice by the
Club that the Indians north of us are
selling meat to people OF Phelps. All
parties doing so should be reported to
the Game Warden. There is. one way
to keep out of trouble and at the same
time save the remaining deer and that
is to tell the parties that come to you
with yenison that you do not wish to
buy, then report them.
