haps \you will want to call it the
'swan song" of turkey, when you
have heard my tale of woe.
For 10 these many months has the

has been my wont to hold my head
up high and walk nay, strut

It has been my pleasure to look

And now you would cut my air of
superiority short-and "cut" GER

You would rob me of my haugh-

gobble from my strut-and with the
very axe that | have SO often perch

and belittle the puny hen.
All during the summer months,
ever since the day | pushed my way
through an egg shell, / have been

been served me. Where the rest of
the farm flock got scrapping, I got
wheat and corn and mash. Do you
wonder I was naughty?
In comparison to the unmusical
cock-a-doodle-do of the rooster, my
melodious gobble-gobble has had a

HAWKINS CASE
SETTLED;
COESTO WIDOW
Litigants Agree After
Day Of Evidence And
Argument

The Hawkins will case came to an
unexpected end in Superior court
shortly after 10 o'clock this morn
ing, after the plaintiffs had closed
and the defense had moved a nom
suit, when a conference of counsel
and principals, held on advice of
Judge Graham, presiding, resulted in
an agreement. When the details of
the agreement had been reported to
Judge Graham and approved by him
he directed the jury to write YER
dict in accordance Herewith, which
was done.
Under the terms of the agreement
the defendant, Mrs. E. A. Hawkins,
to who mthe late Col. E. A. Hawkins
bequeathed the family home place on
East Church street, retains a one
third interest in the property and
the plaintiffs, the children of Col.
Hawkins by his first marriage, are
given a two-thirds interest. All in
come from the property collected
by Mrs. Hawkins is to be returned
by her.
The case has been on trial since
yesterday afternoon until p. m.
Numerous witnesses for the plaintiffs
had been heard and dozen points of
law argued at length by the attor-
neys. When court recessed last
night the lawyers were in the midst
of arguments on the defenses mo-
ton for non-suit. This morning
these were resumed. 1t was then
that Judge Graham called attention
to both sides to the fact that it would
be best for the parties themselves
to settle a family suit of this kind,
and that if decided by a jury, the
decision would doubtless be appealed
and litigation continue for years. A
conference followed. and the agree
ment soon resulted.
The Hawkins children in bringing
suit demanded restoration of IL
12ths of the property, which they
claimed belonged to their mother and
was held by their father in trust and
therefore could not be conveyed by
him legally. This was disputed by
the defense.

OFF To Buy Paper For
Times-Recorder Press

Lovelace Eve is spending few
days in Atlanta on matters of busi-
ness, particularly in connection with
the purchase of roll paper for the
Times Recorders fast perfecting
press, which has just been installed.
This press which prints, folds and
delivers from the rolls about 5000
papers per hour, has been erected in
the Times-R Recorders press room and
stands ready for use as soon as paper
of the proper size can be obtained for
it. Inasmuch as this paper must come
by freight from the mills in New
England, after the order has been fill
ed, it will still be few weeks before
it can be put in operation regularly,
The fact that it cannot be used inn
mediately,. although ready to run, is
a source of keen disappointment to
the Times-Recorder management.

some are still doing the same thing
in other places under more improved
conditions. The great majority no
doubt, have passed from the earth.
Two or three decades ago, passen-
gers on a train going from Oshkosh
to Ashland, would notice all depots
lined with lumberjacks in red mack
nav jackets and big stockings. Many
of these men would work in the
woods in the winter, come down on
the drive in the spring, stay in town
for time, get drunk and spend all
their money, and go up again.
Now some of the lumber conlpa-
MES of Wisconsin have large tracts of
farm lands near their logging opera
tons where they produce hay, grain,
pork and beef in the summer to feed
the men and horses in winter.
Some of the old lumberjacks are
still mixed in there, but they laugh
at the young fellows with tender SON
situations who confine themselves to
eight hours work only, and smoke
cigarets.

DON'T LIKE OUR VIEWS

Setting up the report of the Coun-
ty Board of Canvassers has occupied
SO much of our time this week that
it is necessary to postpone a reprint
Of some articles directed at the Re-
view. from the Milwaukee and An
tigo Journals, in consequence OF an
article Of ours regarding the reforest-
ton fad, about two weeks ago Some
papers apparently have large class
of readers who readily gobble up
every kind of non-practical idea that
may be evolved from the minds Of
enthusiastic and self appoited Mes
siahs' such as Forester Griffith, to
whom the Amigo paper gloWingly al
ludes. Both of these papers have
been opponents of the reforestation
idea from the first, but we are here
to say that as acute as the paper
shortage may be, that it will be a
good many centuries before either
paper is ever printed from material
grown on the state forest reserve at
Trout Lake, regardless of the fact
that some fifteen years have passed
since Mr.. Griffith started out on his
| great mission of reforesting Villas
county for merchantable purposes in
less than fifty years. It is strange
thing, but true, that neither of these
papers ever mention such practical
plan as buying large tracts OF virgin
timber, still to be had, at price, and
maintaining them under modern and
| practical methods of forestry. That
must SAVIOR too much of sordid bust
ness ideas. To refine the banks of
| Villas county's beautiful lakes for a
distance of several miles around each
lake with towering pines and hem
locks, per Hiawat1la style is much
more poetical, you know. Next
week we will publish the articles in
full so that Villas county people may
see what beautiful spot it may get
to be along about the year 25ec, if
| the Milwaukee and Amigo papers
succeed in controlling the destinies
of the present residents of this coun-
| ty and their descendants.

Two first award silver cups were

for the best Indian school exhibit and
the other was the government cup

agency, this is the third successive
year that the Flambeau school has
received the cup. The pupils and
