"Ah, COmTadG!"

Several have asked why we refer to
marriage in the same sense as war.
There is no difference. A fellow
meets a girl and decides that she is
the woman to 'sbattle" through life
with. He presents arms, = she ''faIls
in" They talkit over and decide IAN
engagement" At the marriage Ii
cense bureau they s'sign up The
minister swears them in.
There are only a few sskirmishes'
during courtship. The real fighting
starts afterlmarriage. That's when a
man thinks he's a colonel" but
finds he's only sort of second lieu
tenant" In the home as well as on
the battlefield they use hand gren-
AIDES, such as fatirons, pots, pans and
rolling pins. The wife usually is a
great ''rifler. = She rifles her hus-
bands pockets every night; she takes
all his large money and confines him
to Quarters. :" Whether he has done
anythingSor not, she always has him
on f'mess detail" She makes her
s.couDter attack" in a department
store, and she knows how to charge. "

Health Bulletin

Some weeks ago large number of
Wisconsin newspapers printed an art
icle on the Importance of people
being vaccinated as prevention of
SMALLPOX.
That many people took the warning
and advice to heart and were vacci-
mated, there is good reason to know.
That others did not do SO is more evil
dent, because from several por-
tions of the state come reports of
more or less serious outbreaks of the
disease which would not occur in a
completely yaccinated community
Vaccination, as carried out today
by careful and conscientious physi-
clans, is not any more hazardous than
a ride in a ''flivver. If the person
vaccinated is immune to smallpox,
the vaccination will cause him no
more trouble than pin scratch. If
he does get take" which may
cause his arm to feel bit uncomfort-
able, it is evidence that he was sus-
ceptible to the disease. Whatever
trivial annoyance there may be from
the reaction due to successful vacci-
nation is as nothing compared with
the danger and discomfort of an
attack of smallpox, not to mention
the Disagreement and lifelong mental
distress of pock-marked face.
If there are any cases of smallpox
in the vicinity of your home, be vac
cinated as measure of ordinary
garden variety" of prudence. If
there are no cases to your knowledge,
recollect that in this day of rapid,
far-reaching travel, there may be a.
case tomorrow.

day Virgil came over to Leonard's

Treckoned among the very serious ana
deleterious intoxfcants, though Of
course only when grossly rnisused. In
Ireland especially, and also in the
United States, there are many persons
addicted to the excessive drinking of
tea which is not brewed as it should
be, but is permitted to steep and soak
for hours and even for days, until
some very harmful ingredients are ex-

of which upon the nerves and brain

opened It's seasons schedule with a
game against the Minocqua high
school which resulted in a victory for
the latter by a score of 10 to Is. Both
teams we're fast on the floor. The
MinocQua quintet won out by a little
better team work than the locals dis
played, but they had nothing on the
home boys in speed. 1t was no mans
victory until the whistle blew at the
end Of the second half. The home
team time and time again broke up
their opponents formation that
seemed safe for a basket every time.
The final score Indicates how closely
the game was fought out to the end.
Preceding the game the Freshman
and Sophomore girl teams played two
fast halves of basketball. ending in a
Is to 10 victory for the SoDhs. Both
games were good. A poppy organiza-
tion on the side lines, that filled the
hall to capacity, showed up in fine
form, especially the students with
their well-drilled songs and yells.
Dancing followed the games at which
the Freshmen served refreshments.
Crandon high school plays here Janu-

tend this game and see what speed
the local team has With "a little
more practise they will win their
share of victories this winter.

Awaits Reclamation.

The southern swamp lands have
grown, rather than diminished, in area
since the Civil war, because of the
decay of rice growing. Many old rice
fields have now fallen under the sdO-
minion of the swamp. But the bulk
of this swamp country has always
been wild although the adjacent up.
lands have been cultivated since CO.
Ionial days. The swamps have always
been a region of romance and legend.
They have sheltered pirates and SNUG
glers, panthers and bears and strange
wild animals from foreign lands es-
capped off stranded vessels. No pri-
vate citizen or organization has ever
had the strength or courage to try to
conquer them. Here and there a dent
has been made in the edge nothing
more. The placing of these wild lands
under the rule of the pillow, like the
conquest of the western desert; is a
task for the whole strength Of the
nation.

Shortage of Flat Cars.

Shortage of fat cars is preventing
northern Wisconsin lumbermen from
taking advantage of the favorable
conditions for logging at the present
time. They are unable to move logs
to the mills as rapidly as they are
brought to the landings, and the
starting of number of sawmills is
delayed because logs cannot be moved
to them fast enough to keep them
running. The shortage is due in part
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1919-12-26

TO the early opening of the logging
season, the railways customarily not
making provisions to supply large
numbers OF fiat cars for hauling logs
until after the first Of she year. An
other reason is the wide scattering of
fiat cars under the pooling system,
and the use of large numbers OF these
cars for shipping lumber to remote
points because of the earlier shortage
of box cars. 1t is probable that not
much relief will be secured until
after the first of the year.

Sailors Rejoice at Sharks Capture.

One of the most curious of the SUI
perstitions of the sea is that pertain
ing to the capture of a shark. All
hands, from the captain down to the
cabin boy, take keen interest in the
proceedings, and, having successfully
landed the shark on deck-an opera
ton involving no little excitement-it
is killed and it's tail cut off. This
trophy is then nailed either on the end
of the bowsprit or the jibboom and is
considered an infallible charm, capable
of bringing the craft the fairest OF
winds and weather. 1t is not uncom-
mon to observe sailing ships lying in
port with this peculiar emblem of the
sailors superstition, but the custom is
fast dying out, since, in the case Of
steamers, shark capture at sea is a
very rare occurrence.
