YALE GETS WEeSTER'S HOUSE
Historic Building at New Haven has
Recently Become the Property
Of the University.

In purchasing and taking posses
sion OF the famous Noah Webster
house, Yale university has come into
possession of one of the oldest and
perhaps the most historical building
I'm New Haven.
When the venerable photographer
wrote the dictionary century ago,
he never dreamed that the home In
which he performed his literary
labors would prove the quarters Of
United States troops In the greatest
or world wars. Yet that was the
destiny Of the plain wooden building.
The university turned It over to the
Studetn Army Training corps and It
was occupied by soldiers till the final
rehabilitation.
II was the home of Webster while
he resided in the city, although part
or his dictionary was written at Am
herst, Mass. He was one Of Yale's
most famous professors, his work
ranking In world value with that Of
mis- Fellow professors, Samuel f. b.
Morse and Ell Whitney.
The home stands at the corner of
Grove and Temple streets and was
Formerly the property of Courtland T..
Irowhridge, relative OF the lexicog-
rapher. The university has acquired
IL because OF its scheme TO All the

Save Lots of Seed Corn.

Villas county is fortunate in having
raised the largest crop of thoroughly
ripened field corn on record. This is
especially true of the dent yarities
which have for several years been
practically impossible to ripen for
seed purposes. This year, nearly ev-
cry farmer has from one to more
acres of sound corn entirely too valu-
able for feeding purposes. The i'm
portance of acclimated corn is we'll
understood by every man who has
ever grown corn extensively. A va
riety that yield and ripen we'll in one
county will often prove unsatisfac-
tory when moved county or two
farther north until year or two has
adapted it to the cooler and shorter
season it has encountered. The corn
in Villas county this year is proba-
bly, nearly all pure bred seed grown
from seed raised last year much
farther south, and due to an excep-
tional season, has a seed value that
might not be attained again before
several crops are raised. SAVE

Thursday was Phelps Day at the
fair. The mills and chemical plant
and every place of business in that
thriving town Of the county closed
for the day and a delegation over two
hundred strong headed by their own
band attended, contributing greatly
to the success and pleasure of the dav.
The band boys were especially marked
for the excellence Of their musical
performance and also for their natty
new uniforms recently acquired. The
spirit shown by that town in working
for the fair and the success it at
tanned, gives an idea of the big sue
cess it might attain if the other towns
in the county contributed to it in
proportionate manner. The fair is a
county Institution, whether you live
in the western part of the county or
the east. It's benefits revert directly
back to every citizen to some degree
Phelps has set the pace for all other
towns in the county. Such support
from all of the other towns would
work wonders at the next fair. Let's
work toward that end.

were added to the fair membership

Monday morning to find new firm
doing bushes at the Persohn Com
pany store. The new proprietors are
the Adams Bros, of whom, Ernie and
Frank, the store patrons were already
familiar with, the former having
been employed. there as clerk for a
number Of years, and Frank became
connected there last spring. Chas.
Fl. Adams, present county treasurer,
will be actively associated with the
new concern at times of congested
trade, such as fair time. /" Chill"
will come down from the farm and
put mis- shoulder to the wheel. The
store first established many years ago
by VIM. Persohn, has grown into a
business of large proportions and sup
plies a large territory with every
thing from cake of soap to grain
binder or the latest idea in hard
ware. Frank Adams and fam
lily will occupy the rooms over the
store. Mr.. and Mrs. Persohn and son
Robert will continue as residents Of
Eagle River and the latter will pro-
coed to get ready for cultivation sew
eral tracts of land that they own

work and welfare of this county.
John Imrie of Roberts, Wis, was

of Three Lakes, Wis, one Of the
states best judges Of vegetables,
grains and grasses, took care of those

Wisconsin College of Agriculture at
Madison. a potato expert, awarded
the premiums in the tuber class.
The value of band music to the sue
cess of any fair was well demonstrate
ed by the Phelps and Eagle River
bands. The Eagle River band played
both days. On Thursday they played
with the Phelps band, under the
name of the Villas county band and
their music did much to enliyen the
spirit of the two days. Both bands
are worthy of ali the support their
communities can give them. Next
year we would like to see the Flam-
beau band and one from Winchester
and Vinegar playing at the county
fair. Money spent for such enter
tainment is good investment.
The two ball games, Of which a full
account is given in another column,
added much to the entertainment

RESORT SEASON IS
DRAWING TO CLOSE
Heavy Traffic From Lake
Region Marks End of
Busiest Season at
Summer. Resorts.

With the exodus of thousands of
city people from the lake regions of
northern Wisconsin and upper Michi-
gan the past two weeks, the 1919
summer resort season is drawing to
close after the most successful run in
the history of this section. The
opening of city schools in the early
part of September accounts for good
deal of the heavy traffic that has
been leaving the lake region at this
time. Thousands of summer visitors
are focling back to their homes to
take up the grind again Entil the 1920
vacation season rolls around
Never before have the resorts in
northern Wisconsin been so we'll pat
ronized as they have been this
summer. Every resort has been
booked to capacity all through the
season and hundreds of vacationists
have been turned away because of
lack of Accommodations. In most pla-
ces every available building, tent and
other means of caring for the cutters
has been pressed into service and
camping sites along the lake shores
have been occupied constantly. 1t is
estimated that more tourists came to
the northern lake regions than ever
before. In years previous a good
many resorts have had capacity
crowds while others near by have not
been so well patronized, but this sea-
son has been an exception in that
practically every hotel and resort
has been filed to the limit and many
guests have been turned away or
forced to wait for later reservations.
Not a small part of this heavy run
is due directly to the good highways
found thruout the lake country.
More cars from almost every state in
the Union have toured northern Wis
ccssss1r then ever before. License
plates from New York to California,
and from the Gulf to Canada have
been in evidence along the good high
ways of this section all season. Many
motoring parties carried their own
equipment, camping where night
overlook them and making innumer-
able side trips to various points of in
terest. The State Trunk Highway
System has proven itself an admirable
one, the heavy traffic over the marked
roads showing that those who, can
have much preferred to come by auto
rather than by rail-
The call to business accounts for
the heavy traffic now seen on every
south bound train. Pullman ,reserva-
tions have been made weeks in adj
vance and extra cars have been added
for the accommodation of returning
summer visitors. Sunday nights
t1ain had seventeen sleeping cars
when it left Eagle River and the
Labor Day train was almost as large.
In spite Of the vast number of
guests leaving, most resorts are
booked for good runs during Septem-
Der. This later crowd is made up
mostly of hunters and campers who
have decided that September is the
ideal time for an outing in the lake
region, and it gives many chance to
get a vacation after the earlier visi-
tors have returned to work.
In keeping with this excellent pat
ronage of the summer. resorts practi-
cally every other business has felt
the benefit of the summer visitors.

Villas COUNTY FAIR
WAS BIG SUCCESS
Exhibits of the Finest Quality
Filled Every Department
Both Days Villas is
Coming County.

Villas county's 1919 fair was by far
the biggest and best event of it's
kind ever held in this county It ex-
ceeded the expectations of even the
most optimistic and will go down in
fair history as precedent-establish
ing showing Of what this county can
do in things agricultural and the
community spirit that spells success
to any undertaking.
Fair advertising predicted two big
days, and big is about the best adjec-
tive to use in telling of the success Of
tile Villas County Agricultural Socie-
nual fair. ~ wonderful growing sea-
son laid the foundation for fair
that few counties can equal and none
can surpass in the display of products
of the soil. The weatherman con-
tributed his share in the shape of
perfect weather conditions on both
days. Villas county citizens caught
the true spirit of the event and did
their full share in exhibiting their
products and livestock.
To attempt detailed description
of all that was there would be prac-
tically impossible when it is known
that in Class d alone, which included
vegetables, fruits, grains and grasses,
there were almost five hundred en-
tries. Eighty seven head of cattle,
besides sheep and horses, were ex-
hibited in the various departments
designed to take care of that branch,
of Villas county's development. 1t is
our intention to publish complete
list of all premium winners at later
date, as soon as. the list has been
compiled.
TO. start with, Villas county has the
ideal location for it's fair grounds. In
the purchase of the tract formerly
known as the Hirzel field made posi-.
BILE by the generous financial COOPER
of the county board of supervisors,
the Agricultural Society has made a.
great beginning. An exhibit build
ing of artistic design was erected in
time for this years fair, marking the
beginning of program of permanent
building operations which will be car
ried out each year as the need for
more room becomes evident. The
building is 36x60 feet, large, airy and
spacious, of monitor roof design and
carrying an air of prosperity and sue
cess of the county's products it is de-
signed to contain.
In it this year were almost five
hundred entries, exclusive of the edu-
cational exhibit made by the schools
of Villas county. There were grasses
and gl.ains without number. Tlmo-
thy, clover of all kinds, millet of
every variety, Soudan grass, alfalfa,
and practically every other forage
crop grown in the temperate zone, all
in an excellent stage Of development,
and proving conclusively the suprem-
acy of this county as the natural
grass land.
Inc vegetable eXnlDlG was SlgHG
worth coming long way to see. 1t
included everything, from the pro-
duets of the kitchen garden to the
bigger crops grown on the farms.
Corn of every variety, and fully rip
