The Home Town Weekly

A young fellow in Columbus, O., is
responsible for the following gem,
and we hope everyone feels as he does
about it. Read it carefully:
81 read the daily paper read the
state and foreign news, of the doings
here and yofder, and of leading
statesmen's views. Read Of wreck,
and fire and murder, baseball, politics
and crime, marriages and births and
dyings, all the happenings of time.
Read the whole edition over. from
first page to the last, news and COM
ment, facts and fancies, things to
come, things of the past. Then aside
l thrust that paper, for it's no more
good to me; half the things thai I've
read over soon my memory will flee.
Then I get the home town weekly,
and with keen and eager eye, read
the news it has to tell me. news
that's never dull nor dry. For the
news that's in that paper tells me
Of folks I know and love, folks who
are both friends and neighbors and
whose goodness I can prove. Tells
of school, and church and college,
lodge, society and store, town i'm
proyements, councils doings, squibs
and personals galore. Having read
this good town paper, read and
swelled myself with pride, / crank up
my ancient flivver and through town
and country ride. Far away some
times it takes me, into other towns
and states, where may take notes
and figures and make my mental esti-
mates. Then, returning to my roof
tree, call my neighbors to my side
and declare, so help me, Hannah,
here l ever will abide.' And with
each returning Friday, eagerly |
watch and wait for the postman who
is bringing the old weekly to my
gate. Oh, / must have the great
dailies, magazines and trade reviews
but the thing that makes me happy
is the hometown weekly news

NEW SAVINGS CERTIFICATES
CALLED MARVEL OF FINANCE
U. S. "Baby Bonds" of 500 and $1,000
Denominations Are Becoming
Popular investment.

Reports from all parts of the Sew
enth district show the increasing pop
ularity of the new $500 and $1,000
Treasury Savings certificates. They
are virtually "baby bonds" and their
investment value is readily seen. Both
banks and individuals are investing IN
this new form OF government security.
Secretary of the Treasury Glass has
characterized these certificates as 1.-THE
marvel of finance" and Albert Bos-
we'll, manager of sales for the Seventh
District War Savings organization.
has pointed out six reasons why this
term of the secretary of the treasury
fits them. The reasons are:
1. They carry valuable tax-ex-
emption privileges.
2. They cannot deprecfate in value,
not being subject to market ductua'
tons.
5. They are a liquid investment, re-
deemable for cash on ten days notice.
4. They yield a substantial income,
actually more than Az per cent.
5. They are short term, maturing
January /, 1924.
6. They represent absolute safety as
obligations of the United States gov
eminent.
The 800 certificates may be pur-
chased at post Offices of thesfirst and
second class and at banks; $1,000 GER
tificates may be obtained through
banks or trust companies and certif-
Gates of either denomination may be
ordered direct from the War Savings
district headquarters, los West Nor
roe street, Chicago, Ill.
The new certificates are issued only
in registered form with the name OF
the owner written in at the time Of the
purchase. The registration records are
kept in Washington and this feature is
a protection to the investor.
War Savings certificates filed with
twenty War Savings stamps, series OF
1919, may be exchanged for Treasury
Savings certificates in denominations
Of 500, and ten such War Savings GER
tif1cates may be exchanged for $1,000
Treasury Savings certificate. The price
Of the 500 certificate in November is
$84.4O. The increase in cost is &c
cents each month. The $1,000 certif.
caGe in November costs 1914. The
price Of this denomination increases
50 month.

dropsy and heart trouble, being con-
fined to the house for the last three
months
He was one of the first men to
come to this vicinity when the pine
logging industry began, and for forty
years had been an active figure in the
development that has since followed.
Eagle River as village had not yet
attained it's first house at the time OF
his arrival He was connected with
logging in all it's branches for several
years, and at the close of extensive
opera tions he removed to his farm
where he has since resided, taking
deep interest in the affairs of his
town and county at all times. For
ten years he served as town assessor
when Eagle River comprised the
greater part of the county, position
he was we'll qualified for by reason of
his thorough knowledge of stumpage
and timber values. He later served
as supervisor of the town.
Mr.. Tellefson was born January 4,
l847, at Albion, Dane county, and
on Jan. 20, 1854 enlisted in Company
f, Wisconsin Volunteers, serving in

years upon the farm where he died.

ment, the Federal Board for Voca.
tional Education, and the Civil Ser
vice Commission will within a few
weeks have completed a plan they
have had under consideration for
some time, one of cooperation where
by the employment under the War
Department of partially disabled SOL
diers including those who ordinarily
would be barred from civil positions
because of their physical condition,
will be facilitated in every way posi-
BILE, and which will permit the en-
ployment of partially disabled men
on the same basis as those who have
not sustained physical injury.
The War Department has consider
ably more than 100000 civilian EN-.
ployees in it's various establishments,
and it is believed by government
officials that this large force can alb
sorb several thousand partially dis
abled men without detriment to the
service.
The Civil Service Commission states
that a circular setting forth the plan
in full will be ready for distribation
in two or three weeks.

THRIFT CHAIRMEN APPOINTED
BY ILLINOIS CLUB WOMEN
Mrs. Frederick A. Dow Hears Favor
ably From All but Eight Dis
tricts in the State.

Mrs. Frederick A. Dow, who recent
ly undertook the task of lining up the
$4,000 women of the Illinois Federated
Clubs for the Government savings
campaign, has received favorable re-
ports from most of the club districts
on the progress of the organization
work.
Mrs. Dow asked the presidents of
the twenty-five club districts in Illinois
to appoint thrift chairmen. She has
Meard from all but eight districts.
The chairmen appointed are: First,
Mrs. G. D. Stone; Second, Mrs. How
ard Ames; Third, Mrs. III. Fl. Day;
Sixth, Mrs. w. j. Benson; Eighth, Mrs.
Inez Deach; Ninth, Mrs. W. G. Cook /;
Tenth. Miss Fannie Whiting, Chicago
Twelfth, Mrs. Minnie Co1eld, TOnica !;
Thirteenth, Mrs. Adolph Eichlor,
Dixon; Fourteenth, Mrs. Flo Erwin,
Biggsville; Fifteenth, Mrs. R. D. Nc
Cracker, Knoxville; Seventeenth, Miss
Roxanna Hill, Pontiac; Eighteenth,
Mrs. ]. r. lHanlon. Grant Park Twen-
ty-first, Mrs. C. S. Mahan, Palmyra i;
Twenty-second, Mrs. Peter Johnson,
Collinsville; Twenty-third, Mrs. Harry
Farson, Salem; Twenty-ifth, Mrs. b.
9. Jacobs, West Frankfort.
Because the war is over many peo-
pie think all movements started dur
ing the great world conflict are now
dead issues" said Mrs. Dow. "But
that is not true of the savings cam
paign of the government, and the
women can play a very vital part in
making this a great success, not only
to help finance the government but to
help themselves and the community
in which they live. Some women have
an idea that this campaign is only a
mans affair. They are mistaken.
Tlgre is no better channel to make
thrift a permanent habit than the
home, and it is through the women the
home can be reached. The job of
making this campaign a success is
Just as much a woman's as mans" "

.LATH MILL TO START
ABOUT FEBRUARY IS
Preparations Being Made for
New Industry in Eagle
River Citizens Must
Conserve Power.

Edward N. Hammes arrived this
week to get things in shape for start
ing the lath mill of which mention
was made few weeks ago He
intends to start up on or about Feb
Is. The plant at first will consist of
two machines of six saws each, four
saw boilers, splitting machine, cut
offs and trtmmers, employing 25 to 30
men, with daily capacity of $4,000
lath. Mr.. Hammes states that when
the mill is fully equipped and COM
pleted it will be one of the large lath
mills of the state with an annual out
put OF 100000 to 100000 lath. Re-
duced to cord terms, it will use up A.
600 or more cords year of timber
that nearly every farmer has large
supply of, and it's ready market will
do much to hasten the Improvement
of many hundreds of acres of now I'M
productive farm lands. Mr.. HammeS
has spent eighteen years in the lum-
Der game, running mill for himself
at Padus, Forest county, for several
years, selling out year ago. Since
then he has been with the Brown
Land & Lumber Co. of Rhinelander
until the formation of the organiza-
ton which bears his name; and in
which he is: one of the chief stock
holders, and general manager.
Preliminary arrangements were
made for coming to Eagle River
few weeks ago, and at that time it
was not known just how much cleo
trio power would be needed. Since
getting on the ground he has found
that under the present unlimited use
of current by practically all users
there is not the necessary surplus If
about 10 horse power that will be
necessary to operate the plant sue
cessfully after it starts. He asks, as
does the Light & Water Commission

1918 and 1919 war savings certificates
respectively. It is anticipated that
many holders of the 1918 and 1919
war savings certificates will find it
advantageous TO change their hold
ings into these treasury savings GER
titicates, whose terms and conditions
are substantially the same as those
Of the 1920 issue, except for their ear
lier maturity dates.
I'm addition to the advantages
mentioned above in the case of eX-
change of 1920 war savings certiti-
Gates Tor treasury savings certificates,
these circulars offer other induce
ments in the opportunity of CONSOLE
dating holdings, and also for chang
ing ownership in the manner provid-
ed in the circulars.
"Holders of one or more war saw
ings certificates of the 1918 or 1913
issue which bear war savings stamps
having a total maturity value of 800
or some multiple of S100-ie, 5000,
$500, $500, ETC., may exchange the GER
tificates for the same maturity value
OF treasury savings certificates Of the
bonding issue. When two or
more war savings certificates are Of
fered for exchange, each one need not
bear it's full complement of 20 war
savings stamps, provided the total
value of the stamps aggregates Sl0C
or some multiple of it. In the mat
ter of ownership, the regulations pro-
vide in effect that the treasury saw
ings certificates taken in exchange
may be made out in favor Of new and
different owners, if the owners of the
war savings certificates SO request.
The exchanges may be made at first
and second class post offices or other
post offices specially designated by

Basketball Notes

The Eagle River high school basket
ball team slowed up in fine form
when it beat the fast Crandon quin-
tet by score of 10 to Ii on the opera
house floor last Friday evening.
From the outset the local boys took
the lead and by superior playing kept
it throughout the entire game. The
team showed great improvement over
their form displayed in the Minocqua
game two weeks ago. Their team
work was excellent and their guard
ing held Crandon to standstill, max
ing it impossible for the Forest coun-
ty boys to hold the ball long enough
to do any damage. Morgan and Bent
did the scoring for the home team,
throwing several baskets from almost
impossible positions. The whole
team did great stroke of guarding,
sticking to their men like the paper
on the wall'' and making it impossible
for their opponents TO get away long
enough for any accurate shooting.
When it is known that the Crandon
team is made up entirely of senior
class men who have played the game
during all their high school years, the
value Of the victory of Eagle High
takes on added significance. All the
locals are new men at the game, but
they have the pep and plenty OF
speed, which, with well developed
teamwork, makes them formidable
aggregation for any surrounding high
school team to contend with.
The following score sheet shows
who made the points, but it does not
begin to show the strong guarding
that made the victory possible. That
was the outstanding feature of the
game, and with the combination OF
good guarding and fighting chance
at the baskets the team can look for
more victories over other schools.
