BUYS HOLSTEIN HERD
Nestor Johnson of Phelps
Purchased Nine Head of
Holsteins Last Week
Starting Farm.

With one of the choicest farm
ing tracts of hardwood land in
Villas county, there is in the
making one Of the finest stock
dairy farms anywhere in the
state.
A few miles out from Phelps on
the Phelps-Eagle River highway.
Nestor Johnson, late of Chicago,
has started into the farm game
correctly. Just last week he
purchased nine head of Holsteins
and will enlarge his herd as soon
as opportunity presents itself.
His farm holdings are located
on the south side of Big Twin
lake and is said to be one of the
best farming tracts on that lake,
and that is saying something.
There is no better land lying out
of doors than the hardwood
lands in Villas county, and it is
just being realized by the man
who wants to enter into farming
and dairying.

Villas County's Fair, September 81
Two Big Rousing Days-Exhibits That Win the Pemums
NEXT WEEK THE WEEK
The Villas County Fair Will
Be North Wisconsin's Big
Attraction-Two Days.

With a mammoth building for
exhibits just finished, together
with sheds and pens for stock on
exhibit, there is no question as
to the success of the Villas County
fair which is to be held at Eagle
River next week Wednesday and
Thursday, Sept. 3rd and 4th.
Advance information shows
that each department at
the fair will be filled with choice
exhibits. There never was a
better year for the showing of
crops, and the farmers are put
ting their exhibits in shape for a
perfect score.
1t is stated this morning that
Phelps will have the last day of
the fair, coming enmasse from
that village to the county CAPT
tai, forming in line at the bridge
and marching to the grounds
through the principal business
streets. We hope it is true.
This fair belongs to every per-
son in Villas county, and on the
two days we. exhibit we hope
every male in the county will be-
come a member of the fair asso-
citation.
During the two days of the
fair the Flambeau Indians will
play the Eagle River team on the
baseball diamond at the fair
grounds. Flambeau players are
extra good and the fans are
assured good games.
Make your plans for the two
biggest days of the year

THE PEOPLE WILL PAY

Regardless of what our feelings may
be as to the management of the war,
our honor as IA nation is pledged to
the payment of the bills for the war.
No man who holds his own reputation
for business integrity above reprOach
doubts that. He would scrupulously
pay his own debts and the debts OF
his country are very definite part
of his own obligations
The government has contracted GER
tain debts. 1t has come to the people
for the money with which to satisfy
these obligations Through statements
of its highest officials it has repeat
edly made clear to all that II expects
to secure this money not from the
banks or the great financial institu-
tions, but through the whole hearted
support OF the great majority of it's
citizens.
1t will be a higher type OF patriot
ism that will be called to the test
during the coming days than respond
ed to the former appeals of the gov
ernment Aside from few technical
tiles the war is over The fifth loan
will be raised without the spur of hos
tilities because the American people
are capable Of reaching greater
heights of patriotism than they have
yet climbed

FRUIT INSPECTION
LAW CRITICISED

Complaints are directed by orchard
lists against the existing law that re
quires nursery stock, ornamental trees
and perlshabe plants to remain at eX-
press Offices for Y hours before they
can be removed by the consignees
The law presumably specifies the COM
paratively long period in order that
the fruit inspector may have an OPP
portunity to pass on the shipments.
Frequently the fruit Inspector has no
deputies and in case he is out of town
the plants must remain at the express
office.
Gordon g. Brown received ship
ment Of valuable strawberry plants
Tuesday. With Fruit Inspector Stan
ton out of town he was forced to leave
the perishable plants at the office Of
the express company the legally stipu-
lated time.
"Of course, it may be we'll to allow
the inspector reasonable time to
reach the the office and pass on the
plants" says Mr.. Brown. "but can
not see where any good purpose is
effected in providing that they remain
there for three days If they are
/ affected by disease the pests will be
just as bad after the longer period as
before. The evil of the law would be
amelorated if the county fruit inspec
tor were required to have a deputy
available near express Offices.

VICTORYLOAN TEST
OF FPATRIOTISM-Wood

Major General Leonard Wood, who
al Camp Funston trained two divi-

service, has asked the American
people to support the Fifth Loan.
He says.
We have carried the war on sue
cessfully so far and we must see IL
through The Fifth Loan, coming
as il does after the armistice, will
be more severe test than the
others, of the patriotism of our
people. 1t is just as important as
any loan we have made, and it
should be carried through just as
vigorously as the others 1t is no
time now to let up on our efforts.

cult and almost as important as the
period of preparation Put it over,
