COLMAN MET LOUGHLIN
Meeting Among Millions of
Three of Villas County
Friends at Chicago During
Welcome Home of Famous
33rd Division.

Three surprised people were
N. A. Colman, daughter and 1t.
Barclay Loughlin when they
came face to face in the crowd at
Chicago last week during the
welcome home of the famous
33rd Division in that city. When
it is remembered that there were
millions of people on the streets
that day it is something to
wonder at the peculiarities one
runs up against in this life.
1t. Loughlin, whose home is
in Portland, and who was raised
i9 Eagle River had just arrived
in Chicago with his division
from France. He had not even
seen his own people, and imagin-
ed himself far from his friends.
Mr.. Colman was on his way to
Eagle River and had stopped
over to see the welcome of the
doughboyS. They ran into
Loughlin on the street just at
the time he was making for a
telegraph office to wire his father
and mother in Portland of his
return to the States.
Both Barclay and Thomas
Junior are sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thos. Loughlin, former residents
of Eagle River, who ten years
ago moved to Portland. Tom
Junior is first lieutenant while
Barclay ranks as second lieuten-
and. Tom arrived from over
seas some time ago. Both Tom
and Barclay are nephews OF Mrs.
P. D. Walsh of this city.

Ford and Dodge Cars Smash
Together on Rhinelander
Road Suhday-Man Hurt.

From the appearance of the
Dodge car owned by John Wirth
of Clearwater Lake, the Ford
car which struck him must be a
mass Of junk. Worth's machine
has smashed tenders, broken
frame and spring hangers, bent
axle, dished wheels and a dis
lodged engine What the Ford
suffered was still worse It all
resulted in excessive speed and a
careless driver who failed to see
the car trailing behind one he
was passing on wide, straight
highway. One man in the Ford
was bruised pretty badly. This
accident happened between Sugar
Camp and Rhinelander Sunday.
A gas 'pede and John Joud's
car collided Monday at the rail
road crossing at State Line. On
account of logs piled close to the
crossing, neither of the cars saw
each other in time to avoid COM
ing together. Both were dam
aged.

TOURISTS ON OUTING
Vacation People Spend Holi-
day Period in the Lake
Region-Fishing Good.

Friday mornings special for
fishermen which hit the Big
Woods territory carried a host
of anglers and cutters who took
advantage of the three-dav holi-
day period. between Friday
morning and Sunday night. To
a man. and there were hundreds,
the three DAYS were too short a
space in which to cover them
selves with glory-and fish scales
and stories-so some of them
are overstaying their limit.
The train arriving on the c. &
N. w. Friday carried seven sleep
ers and two day coaches filled to
capacity with cutters taking adj
vantage of the beautiful weather
which this country is blessed
with. The traffic was so heavy
that several passengers for Eagle
River were carried through to
Watersmeet.
But at that every soul was
happy and out for the time of
their life. Their return to the
city on Sunday night showed a
much sunburned face, plenty OF
fish and a tired but happy dispo-
sition nevertheless.
The call of the wild certainly is
the best bet imaginable, espec-
tally when you tie up with a big
whopper of a fish, fight him till
you and he are all in, and then
have the hook break and lose the
one chance of a lifetime. Nothin'
left but a big bunch of cussin', a
sore arm and soured disposition.
The next fishing special" to
arrive over the Watersmeeet
branch of the Northwestern will
be Saturday morning
Regular three. times week ser
vice begins the 18th.

our popularity as progressive
county and people. Now is
the time to get after the pro-
gressive ones, and in the mean
time we fellows at home will be
right behind the movement, and
certainly will enjoy the Ill old

more than if we make it just
little selfish community exhibit.
Let US get after the outside
fellows and bring them to US,
and show them in competition
with other counties that we
have the real goods. Are the
people so forgetful that they
cannot remember that Villas
county never failed to. go over

Germany if we fell down in man
power or in money to back them

Hotter Than Hotter. Yes

Ninety in the shade, and then
some, after a period of seventeen
or eleven months ofcool weather,
certainly brought out the frost
bitten smiles from the natives OF
this said-to-be frozen northland.
And this all happened over a
week ago, when Nature took the
halter in hand and gave old Sol
strict orders TO cut out the
treat 'em rough" stuff and
smile his broadest. He sure did.
You see, Villas county notwith-
standing the cold shoulder of the
weather bureau for months past,
had put on head of steam and
went over the top in everything
pertaining to keep the pep in her
bows in camps and across the
pond, and something was due
her in payment for her patriot
ism. And it has shown US that
to warm ones heart with sun
shine is the one best bet to put
the old machine in operation
again and make the fish bite.

GROUNDS PURCHASED
Fair Association To House
Its Exhibits on Own
Grounds by Purchase of
Tract-Officers Elected.

By resolution at the meeting
of the Villas County Fair Associ-
alton last Wednesday evening
the purchase ofadequate grounds
for the purpose of holding the
annual exhibits was carried and
it is certain that the tract of
land known as Hirzel's field,
where the ball park is situated,
will be put into use by the asso-
citation, it's purchase to be made
at an early date.
Hans Hanson was elected
president; Peter Hedeen, vice
president; Oscar Gunderson,
secretary and c. H. Wiegand,
treasurer.
The dates for the fair this fal!
were not set at this meeting
Wednesday evening but will be
classified at a later date when
the various working committees
will be named.
Villas county has the oppor-
tunity of her life each year when
fairs are being held. in showing
what she produces. There need
be no fear that we cannot cope
with any county in the whole
state when it comes to produc-
ton of exhibits of any nature.
Add she has shown it in the past
and can do so yet. Now that the
war has ended, and people are
beginning to look, for suitable
productive land, this is the time
when we must show to the out
side man and woman what we
really are.
Isn't it the idea in promoting
a county fair to advertise to the
outside world that it is to their
benefit to come and see what we
can produce with Nature and
mans assistance combined?
Isn't it the advertising value that
we want to show to the pros
pective buyer of IL nds for farm
purposes = the homebuilder in
fact-that causes us to hold a
fair? We people at home know
what we can produce, and while
it is community affair of much |
when Jones vies with
Knox in pitting his products
against any competitor, still,
isn't the real dyedin-the- wool
idea to show the PROSPECTIVE
ones that we have the goods
and want them to locate with |
us.
More advertising for more
neighbors, means more settlers
and more people to place more
value upon our lands; more land
is put under cultivation, more
beautiful homes are builded;
more purebred herds are cult
waited over little scrub ones
which is the death of the slow
going communities who do not |
advertise.
Advertise your county fairs by
exhibiting to the world atlarge-
the bigger the crowd of interest
ed people, the sooner we increase

simple little process makes the shoes

Some OF the shoe cleaning liquids

SO harmful, as it is nothing more than
a greasy coating, which gives a gloss
