Villas COUNTY STILL
OFFERS OPPORTUNITY
Land Values Here Are Not Too
High When Productivity
of Soil Is Taken Into
Consideration.

Looking for farm? Then come TO
Villas county. Here you will find the
place you are looking for, the place
you have in your minds eye. A place
where you can settle down and work
out your own salvation from the soil
of its productive acres. And the
beauty of the whole situation lies in
the fact that man can make small
beginning and by honest toll build
himself a home that increases in
value every year. Every cleared acre
added to his cultivated fields means
just that much more revenue to his
annual income and Increases the val
ne of his farm as time goes by.
Land values throughout the county
are very reasonable They have in
creased some in the last few years
due to increased demand for them,
but it is still possible to buy land
cheap and on terms easily handled
by the man seeking new loca-
ton for himself and family. In other
states land values have jumped away
out of proportion to the earning
power of their acres, but Villas county
still offers its productive acres to the
man who really wants to better him
self by becoming a direct producer.
The high cost of living is no joke.
It is reality and every item raised
on a farm that can be transferred di-
rectly to the consumer, as so much
farm produce can, means just that
much saving in actual paid out ex-
pense. It doesn't take much land to
raise potatoes enough for the average
family for a year, and the same is
true Of every other product products
that cost real money when bought i'm
the open market Then there is the
fuel question. Any man with few
acres Of uncleared land is independent
of fuel shortages or prices. It takes
work, of course, but when results are
figured, one finds it highly profitable
work and nothing is attained now
adays without work.
It would be possible to go through
the list and name all Of the advanta-
ges Of owning a farm in Villas county.
But that an't necessary. One has
but u See the acres under cultivation,
the satisfied owners and the general
air Of prosperity among Villas county
farmers to know that these things
are facts and not sales talks What
others have done you can do. The
county fair every year shows what
the soil will do when handled intelli-
gently Any man with honest purpose
and the idea instilled in him that
upon his own efforts depends his own
success, can come to Villas county and
make good. So many have done it
that it seems almost superfuous to
state the fact. One has but to see
to become convinced. that Villas
county still holds sterling opportuni-
ties for the man who wants to be-
come independent
Give Villas county consideration if
you are looking for farm. It's re-
suits speak for themselves.

COME TO THE WOODS

Oh come with me to the deep dark
woods
Where Nature puts on her somberest
moods,
To the messy banks where the fairy
sleeps,
Where the pink Linnea. grows and
creeps;
And the Indian Pipe his pale head
Above the moist and fragrant molds,
Where the great pine rises dark and
drear,
And the wild doves call falls on the
ear
Like an ever soothing linking knell
OF some joy-bringing wedding bell.
Well while away the sultry MONDAY
hours
Within these dark, green shady
bowers,
Forgetting all life's petty. care and
strife
That darksome bane of many life.
So come at once, and HE away with
To the deep dark woods, from care
set free.

THE OLD LUMBERJACK
In.LNos1. Arr,,.tb rrrnntnnrnA

What has become of the old fash
toned lumberjack, The lumberjack
and cowboy represent the two pro-
ducts of pioneer life in America.
The one blazed the trail through the
sunny plains and the other slowly and
laboriously cut the tote roads through
the swamps of the dark forest.
Now the big trails have become
railroad lines and the logging roads
have Strengthened out along section
lines and are lined with autos and
wagons. But where are the lumber
jacks who made possible all these
modern good roads and improved
farms?
A few are on these farms. Some
have been promoted in the lumber
business and are in nearby cities, and

STATE LINE NEWS

After having completed all ar
rangements for the erection of the
mill at Eagle River and getting
things well established there, the
Wisconsin Michigan Lumber Com
pany went to their timber holdings
about five miles east of here in an
effort to line things up for their log
ging operations. A spur track right
of way was surveyed out and with the
aid of two ten ton caterpillars and a
road grader, a very satisfactory road
bed was made in short time, /and

wonderful in their development and
show that Villas county is coming to
the front fast as leading potato
county in the state. With proper at
tention paid to showing the crop,
the county stands in line to win high
est honors wherever the spuds are
exhibited. The growing season this
year has been very favorable for a
big yield. While other portions Of the
state were suffering from lack Of
rainfall Villas county was enjoying all
it needed for banner yield, as the
exhibits showed.

.CONOVER AGAIN WON
MOST FAIR MONEY
Highest Premium Winners AT
County Fair-Other Agri
Cultural Notes From
the County Agent.

The fair has come and gone anu
predictions to the contrary notWltn-
standing we had the lovliest weather
that could be asked for. The crowds
were large both days. The cattle
exhibits were smaller than last year
although we had better facilities for
handling them. Poor pastures and
the labor shortage we're to blame.
The exhibits in the farm product
line were nearly as numerous as last
year and their quality very much
better. In fact the judge stated that
our potatoes were the best he had
seen in the state this year.
Phelps turned out royalty and their
band did much towards the enjoyment
Of the crowd the last day. The ball
games were good and were much en-
joyed.
AS usual Conover carried away the
large share of the premiums but
other towns assisted as will be seen
by the following list. These are the
ten who won the largest amounts in
their order.
C. H. johnson, Conover, $780,
C. A. Lindberg, Conover, $4,000.
Chas. Reed, Conover, $4,000.
John Drager, Lincoln, $500.
Emil Eklund, Conover, $500.
Hans Hanson, Conover, $500
Ed Martinson, Conover, $1,000.
Herman Rade, Washington, $3.50
p. Sandbeck, Conover, $500.
Jas. Faulk, Lincoln, $25.00
Potato Show
At the annual meeting of the Ag-
ricultural Society this summer it was
decided to put on local potato show
to secure exhibits for the state pota-
to show at Milwaukee in November.
AS our potatoes this year are OF the
highest quality we ought to make a
good exhibit. Mr.. Milward advised
us to limit our exhibits to Rurals and
Tri,amphs. The other varieties at
Fair were not of a high enough quail
ity for the state show. This sugges.
ton will be carried out and ten prizes
will be awarded in each class. One
sample from each person will be ad,
mitted. Farmers are urged to select
at least two samples however. Each
farmer that wants to can send an IN
dividual entry to the show. This
sample will be taken along with the
county exhibit and exhibited in his
name. We would also like some good
samples for the Midwest Exposition
at Des Moines. Several of our farm
ers won prizes there last fall.

about the price of ground limestone

SPORTS

With but a handful of fellows as
the nucieous, the young men OF State
Line started athletic activities last
spring with the organization of a
baseball team. After a good start of
three victories it looked as though
this town would carve it's name in
the. hall of sportsdom. But the next
two games were bad ones for the To-
Gals and they were numerically
slaughtered. However the record
for the season was not bad one at
all. The team lacked pitcher more
that anything, butwere not able to
strngthen that position. Their record
shows seven victories and five de-
feats. Next year the team will be
much stronger and will in shape to
meet the best players. In basket
ball State Line has five men who
have played on championship teams
and are ready tomeet the best and
will be fayorably heard from this
winter

ABOUT THE RESORTS

The several resorts are now clos
ing one of the most successful and
busiest seasons of their history. The
influx of tourists has been greater
than ever and in spite of the many
new cottages built since last year a
large number of tourists were daily
turned away, and State Line is rap
idly coming to the front as a tour
lists paradise.

ing last fall, the VIM. A. Curtis Co.
began extensive logging operations
on large tract of virgin timber.
After having built their camps and
they maintained a shipping average
Of about six carloads a day. To
day they have about five miles OF
track in operation and
have completed the re-ballasting of
the spur in preparation for the fall
and winter operations they will en-
p1oy one to two hundred men all

about ten cars per day.
