The War Department has issued
warning to the public against
solicitors of so-called historical
books and publications, of no
historical value published solely
for commercial purposes" The
department has been informed
that in many parts Of the coun-
try agents are calling on parents

sums to publish photographs

county or city. Most OF these
books have been found to possess
no value.

Every Man a Booster.

Now that the dates of the
county fair have been placed for
Wednesday and Thursday, Sep
tember ga, it behooves every
red blooded Villas county citizen
to open up the throttle and stop
his skidding on thing that is
vital for the good of his own
soul. Another thing. The success
of the exhibits for the state fair
depends upon individual efforts
and get-into-the-game attitude.
We must show the guy who
says it is not necessary to exhibit
our products outside the county,
he is knocker not only to the
county's welfare, but to every
farmer as we'll. The fellow who
makes such a statement, and
it has been made but lately, is
either a damphool or else has
something else up his sleeve for
his own personal benefit.

BULL SKINNY DANCES
Pieces Of Hay Wire in Heart
of Green Bay Animal
Causes Queer Antics.

When fine young bull stands
on its left ear atregular intervals
and wags its tail skyward, there
must be something wrong,
opined Henry Peters of Shaw
ano. In the presence OF DR..
Cantwell, called by Mr.. Peters
to witness the strange behavior
of the animal, the bull broke two
of it's front teeth and the barn
door. 1t was then decided to
end it's career.
After death the organs were
examined and with the exception
of the heart we're found to be
normal. The heart was expand
ed to such size tb It it filled a
sixteen quart pail. Inside the
heart was found pieces of hay
wire four inches long, which,
after having been eaten, passed
through the walls ofthe stomach
to the heart.

A MAMMOTH BARBECUE
Croatian Farmers Near Anvil
Lake and Their Friends
Roast Whole Ok and make
Merry Last Sunday.

Once year the settlement or
colony of Croatian farmers III
the Anvil lake district, together
with their friends in the farm
game from near and far, meet on
the shores of that beautiful little
lake and enjoy one bully good
day in feasting and dancing.
Last Sunday there were two
hundred eighteen souls who pic
nicked on Anvil lake. There
were eats galore, the main entree
being a whole roasted OK done
to a turn and said to be prime
eating in every respect; then
there were other delectable eats
such as the housewives know
how to prepare for the fellow
who's always hungry on any pic
mic occasion. Following the eat
ing there was dancing such as is
carried out in the land of their
birth, interspersed with the
American shimmy and other
gladstone but not classical
dances. It was an occasion that
bring the agriculturalists closer
together; promote community
comradeship; educate the man
and woman that life is not all
one round of drudgery, but that
barring the hardships occasioned
in a new country there is joy,
happiness and wealth to be
found in this country Of good
crops, good climate and good
eats.

Caught Record Musky
Lac Vieux Desert King of Fresh Waters Tip
ped the Beam at 81 lbs 3 oz.-A Perfect Fish

Weighing 81 lbs. 8 ozs., the
tiger muskellunge canght last
week Tuesday by Walter Houle,
an employe of the l. L. Thomas
resort on Lac Vieux Desert. is
the accredited big Boy" of the
whole musky region. Houle's
fish is said to be the handsomest
of its kind caught for years, and
for that matter is the largest fish
to have been taken from Lac
Vieux Deserts waters for over
twenty years. Other big fellows
have been caught and lost, and
hundreds of ones under that
weight are being landed from
year to year-but none to reach
this fish. Here is what DR.. A. H.
Peck, IS East Washington St,
Chicago, to whom the fish was
shipped, says: you ask me
what l think of that fish. | sure
think it the most beautiful specl
men have ever seen. 1t smark
ings are wonderful. Hannah,
the taxidermist to whom | de-
livered it, said he had been in
business for 35 years and it is the
most perfect specimen to come
to him. 1t is the largest Tiger
Muskellunge by considerable he
ever has mounted" The fish
is 81 IL inches long; "a inches
girth; weight 81 lbs. 8 OF Wal
ter Houle after his work was
finished Tuesday evening, began
using surface bait off a rush
bed in the lake for pike. Musky
rushed the lure, and the fight
was on, but unlike most tales,
this fish was hooked and hooked
good, played properly, brought
to gaff and landed. And now,
there remains but the pleasure of
telling of the fight, and pointing
out the big fellow in the club
house at Thomas resort, where
many an envious eye will see

PHELPS LOSES GAME
Had 1t Cinched in First
Inning But Failed to Land
Bacon.

The fans who witnessed Sun
days game of the National
pastime between Phelps and
Eagle River on the latter's
grounds certainly enjoyed nine
innings of bully good playing.
Score 1917.
In the first inning Phelps
captured four runs in one-two-
three style, missed in the second,
but picked up three more in the
third. Eagle River with her two
scores, looked like losing pro-
position, but getting their stick
work going, they soon lambast-
ed White, the Phelps pitcher, all
over the diamond. The score
boy had his hands full from the
third inning, checking up runs
for the home team.
Spectacular plays on both sides
resulted during the contest, both
teams fighting for the slab Of
pork which none but the winners
can carry off.
Sunday Eagle River and Camp
Winnepe will try out on their
first game of the season. Game
called at three o'clock.

Highway Commission to
Establish Additional Trunk
Lines in the State = Eagle
River-State Line Highway
Should Be In.

The legislature has provided
that $500 miles of additional
trunk high ways be added to the
state highway system. In order
that the counties may have op-
portunity to say what roads
shall be chosen as trunk lines,
the state highway commission
will make a tour of the state
and hold meetings at selected
centers. One of these centers is
Rhinelander, and thecommission
will therefore be there on Tues
day, the 5th of August. The
meeting will be held at the court
house at half past one on that
day.
Villas county should make an
effort to have the Eagle River
State Line highway made
over into a trunk line. If this is
done it will give US marked high
WAYS east and west and north
and south out of the county. AS
it now stands tourists have no
markings from Watersmeet to
Eagle River, except the hit-and
miss method. And further than
that, this highway is now be-
coming one of the most popular
routes of any in the county, con-
necting up with Michigan'sg ood
system of highways.

| Lester Patten of Eagle River is
the one fellow who, while taking
a bath oneevening in the fighting
zone in France during the late
attempt of the Germans to lick
the whole world and make the
United States a home for Huns
and daschunds, was compelled
to delay his additions pronto
and crawl under a wagon in ord
Ell to escape the bullets from a
rapid fire gun in fighting plane
driven by Jerry aviator. How
EVER, Patten arrived in Eagle
River last Saturday morning
having received his discharge
from the 7th Division which ar
rived in the States several weeks
ago. Lester was in the Engi-
neering Corps and spent consid-
cradle time and did much work

ranks when bullets were as thick
as deer flies on the Deerskin.
Herman Rade, son of Mr.. and
Mrs Herman Rade northeast OF
Eagle River, was discharged at
Camp Grant from service last
week, arriving home Thursday.
From the time Herman entered

at Camp Grant. He was one of
the original members of the old
Co. II. and but due to a mixup
in his papers, failed to make
France when things were fright
smart" hot. Rade was changed
to an overseas division, but
when it left he was in the base
hospital. His credentials went |
60 France, and Herman was sup
posed to be there-at least it |
was months before he was able
to find out just where he really |
was. Then he was put on duty |
as military police at Camp Grant
where he remained up to a week
ago when his discharge was Civ
en- him.
Ensign William Norlander, for
the past two years IN the navy,
and going back and forth numer
Gus times across the pond be- |
tween the States and France,

home of his brother Warner west
of the village. After a short Wis
it he will go to Chicago and re
his old position with an
electrical supply company who
makes good on their promises to
give the soldier and sailor his old
position.
AS near as can be learned Alex
and Thos. McGregor, Wilbur
Knox and Chris Rasmussen are
on their way home from Germa
ny. Knox has re-enlisted for one
year, and will be stationed in
California. However he will be
in Eagle River on a furlough
after he arrives in the States.
Stanley Korpal arrived home
a couple days ago, having been
discharged from service. Kor-
pal came from overseas where
he had been attached to a
branch of the hospital service.
John Gorski has returned to
Three Lakes after a years alb
sence. He was in radio service
for Uncle Sam in France, and his
was given to bin last
week.
