Improvement.
Improvement.

Congressman A. P. Nelson has the
assurance of the war department.
that Wisconsin is to get 100000
pounds of INT high explosive manu-
featured for the war, for use in land
clearing demonstrations at once. 1t
will be turned over to the college of
agriculture for distribution, and will
be delivered from the Sparta arsenal.
AS yet the plan for cartridging and
making INT ready for use has not
been worked out The explosive will
be turned over by the war depart
ment in bulk and must be. prepared
for safe and efficient distribution and
use. Neither has the plan for distrib-
uting the INT been definitely deci-
ded upon, altho it is believed the or
ders In each county or district will be
pooled so that carload shipments will
be made.
John SWenehart, in charge of land
clearing development for the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, has been expert
menting with INT for stump pur-
poses for some time and from his ex-
periences has concluded that this sal
vaged explosive can well be used in
land clearing work.
tsAltho INT is somewhat quicker
and more SCATTERING than 20% dyna-
mite, good work can be done with
it, !" Mr.. Swenehart said. s'TNT can
be satisfactorily cartridged without
serious effects on the operator Mois-
ture which would be present under
ordinary conditions will not apparent
~ affect the action of INT and ordi-
nary variations in temperature do not
seem to be of Importance.
County Agricultural Agent Oscar
Gunderson was in attendance at a
meeting of agricultural men at
Rhinelander Thursday in connection
with the distribution Of TINT to the
farmers of this county for land
clearing purposes. The TINT is to
be ALLOTTED hy the government, and
the only charge made to farmers will
be for packing the explosive in card
board cartridges and for transporta-
ton. The distribution will be made
through the University of Wisconsin.
Extensive tests have shown that INT
Il easy to handle, has a greater mar
gin Of safety and will be much cheap
or that the twenty per cent dynamite

In the near future Mr.. Gunderson
will prepare paper on the subject of
INT for land clearing purposes, ex-
planning fully its advantages, uses,
and the method of obtaining it from
the university.

START BUILDING ON
new FAIR GROUND.
Exhibit Building and Cattle
Pens Will Be Ready For
Villas County Fair
Sept. 3 and A.

Building operations are in full
swing on Villas county's new fair
grounds, the 1O-acre tract formerly
known as the Hirzel field and now
used as a ball park. Sihce the pur-
chase of the property by the Villas
County Agricultural Society and the
liberal financial assistance granted by
tie county board to that organiza-
tion, plans have been laid to give the
county a fair ground adequate to it's
needs in displaying the results Of its
production.
An exhibit building 36x6O feet will
be the first building of any size to be
completed. The concrete foundation
has been laid this week and work on
the frame structure is now under
way. The building is situated on the
south end of the grounds, making it
easy of access. It will have full
concrete floor with large doorway
at each end permitting driveway
thru the building. 1t will be one
story and the interior will be fitted
with proper booths for the display of
the various articles to be exhibited.
The cattle pens have been built on
the west side of the grounds, just
north of the entrance gate. These
have been built in size and plan suffi-
cient to accommodate the needs of the
cattle exhibitors and so arranged that
an extension can be added at any fu-
ture time as the demands for more
space grow. A concrete water trough,
circular in shape, has been built in
close proximity to the cattle pens.
City water has been piped to the
grounds, ensuring every facility for
taking care of the cattle during fair
days. The fresh water we'll for drink
ing purposes has been curbed with
concrete.
With the erection OF the improve
ments planned for the fair grounds it
may be necessary to change the loca-
tion of the baseball diamond, but
that can be easily accomplished so
that the fielders will have ample
room to play their game without in
terfering with the buildings.
The tract is ideally located for fair
purposes. 1t is near town. lies prac-
tically level, and is Of sufficient size
to accommodate the county fairs for
years to come. The action of the
committee in securing the property
was move showing much fore
thought that will be realized more
and more as the fair increases in size
and land values rise in the future.
The source of income for the Agri-
cultural Society is limited to the
appropriations made by the county

STATE LAND NOW
UNDER INSPECTION.
Property Of State Suitable for
Agricultural Purposes is
to be Put on Market
in Near Future.

The state conservation commission,
consisting of James Neyins, M, w.
Barber and J. r. Harrington, accom-
panied by Secretary of State Merlin
Hull, State Treasurer Henry john
son, Attorney General John J. Blaine,
Lieut.. Gov Dithmar, State Senators
Spensley: Bird and Stevens, and Rob
erb Ingles Of Bayfield, were callers at
the Review Office Friday while in
Eagle River. The party made up the
state land committee which is in
specting and viewing the state land
in this section for the purpose of
classifying it, according to agricul-
tural and grazing land, preparatory
to putting an immense acreage up for
sale.
The investigation will be thor
ough one and will require several
days to make. There is great need
of this classification, according to in
formation from parties Of reliable
-ofhcfai knowledge. The state eeiss2r-
walton commission receives hundreds
of requests to furnish information
about the state lands and since no
authentic data has ever been gathered
they were unable to enlighten the in
'quirers.
According to statistics from the
department of soil survey in Madison,
65 per cent of the state land in this
section is agricultural land. Selling
this land to private owners who will
develop it, will be big help toward
bringing it to the front in agricultural
lines and advancing the interests Of
Villas county.

WILL VOTE BONUS
LAW ON SEPT. End
Approximately $4,000, 900
to be Raised by Taxation
to Finance Measure
to Aid Soldiers.

Wisconsin voters will vote on the
soldier bonus law referendum Tues
day, September End. With the pas
sing of the law putting the question.
up to the voters, official publication
is being made of the proposed refer
endum. 1t will be found in full else
where in these columns. For the
busy reader the following quotations
from the statute will summarize the
issue:
"The service recognition board is
hereby created to consist Of the gov
ernor, the adjutant general and
* returned soldier appoint
ed by the governor. +"
"For the purpose Of raising sum
sufficient to assure each soldier, sail
Or marine and nurse, including Red
Cross nurses, who served in the
armed forces of the United States
during the war against Germany and
Austria, and who at the time of his
or her induction into the service was
resident of Wisconsin, a sum not
exceeding ten dollars for each month
of service, with minimum of fifty
dollars, as a token of appreciation OF
the character and spirit of their
patriotic service, and to perpetuate
such appreciation as part OF the
history of Wisconsin, tax of not ex-
ceeding three mills on each dollar of
the assessed valuation in addition to
the income tax hereinafter mentioned
is HEREBY levied and authorized TO be
included in che next tax levy: pro-
vided that in case any county shall
elect by resolution of the county
board of such county, adopted prior to
the levy of such tax, to raise said
amount by bond issue, authority is
hereby conferred upon said county to
issue such bond and thereupon the
proper authorities shall remit said
levy in such county. If any such per-
son entitled to the benefits under this
act be deceased before receiving such
payment, then the payment accruine
to said deceased shall be paid to the
surviving widow, child or children,
mother or dependent father or in the
order herein stated and in such case

crue to any person for time spent
while taking training in any student
army training camp, nor to any per-
son who, tho indicted into the
service, did civilian work at civilian
pay"
, The question to be voted upon will
read as follows:
s'Shall there be levied in the year
1919, mill tax of not to exceed three
mills on the dollar and an income tax
sufficient to raise an aggregate sum
of approximately fifteen million dol
lars to be paid by the state to Wis
consin soldiers, sailors, marines and
nurses as stated in chapter 667 of the
laws OF 1892"
The balance of the wording OF the
law deals with the manner and
amount in which the taxes shall be
levied and collected and the money
disbursed.
Governor Phillip has appointed
Major Lorenz of Madison as the re-
turned soldier member Of the service
recognition board. The board will
meet Immediately to carry out the
duties imposed upon it by law. 1t

appropriated by the legislature for
sick and disabled soldiers, and in case
the bonus bill is enacted into law it
will have the administration of the
$4,000, coo to be disbursed to soldiers
undef that measure. Major Lorenz Is
a well known scientist. Before en-
tering the army, he had charge Of
the psycopathic ward at the Mendota
state hospital and his investigations
there regarding the relationship
between insanity and social diseases
attracted vice attention. When the
war broke out he organized a SAM.
tary train division and accompanied
the Madison company of the Wis.
consin National Guard.
