SOLDIER BUYS A FARM
Puts Bonus Money Into Villas
County Real Estate and
Becomes Citizen-Is From
Delphos, Ohio.

One method of placing bonus
money where it cannot be lost
has been adopted by William Ell
chenhorst, whose home is ia Del
phos, Ohio. And that it is what
can be termed a safe and sane in
vestment by the Worlds War vet
eran, needs but be asked that
soldier who will tell you that
every soldier should do likewise
with his money received from the
state as a guarantee that his SER
vice to his country was not soon
forgotten.
Eichenhorst enlisted from the
state of Ohio. going over with
the first division immediately at
ter war was declared between
the United States and Germany.
And besides being in every en-
gagement where his division was
fighting, he was one of the un-
lucky ones to be in the last di-
vision to be returned home after
the armistice was signed. Re-
turning TO Ohio, he soon found
that the new North was the real
mecca for the fellow with plenty
of brains and Drawn and very
little capital. He arrived in
Eagle River last week and has
purchased one hundred and sixty
acres of land near the Hemlock
bridge east of Eagle River. His
father and mother will arrive
shortly and together the three
will build a home and become
identified with the advancement
of the best little county in the
agricultural district of the state.
Mr.. Eichenhorst's attitude rel
alive to using the bonus given
the soldiers, might well be pat
termed after by hundreds of thou
sands of-other soldier BOYS. 1t
is a game that cannot lose out,
and at the same time makes the
young American man an asset
worthy of the respect of every
citizen of the United States who
backed he and his comrades TO
the limit during the war.

REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY
Villas County Lands Being
Sought for BY Men of
Means and the Qualifica-
lions of Agriculturalists.

Some time ago the Villas Coun
ty News made the prediction
that Villas county would see the
greatest influx OF new farmers
ever known in the history of the
state. There has been greater
growth of the mushroom varie-
ty, but this county doesn't want
that quality. What we want are
the real fellows who are determ-
ined to come to the new north
and build themselves into local
citizens and bully good farmers.
Aud we are getting them. And
getting them in punches.
Geo. Rusch OF Walworth, Wis.
has purchased the farm tract
owned BY E. Y. Whitsett of Chi
cago. This tract is located near
the Evergreen school and is in a
splendid farming district. Mr..
Whitsett, who intended settling
upon his holdings, has been COM
PEELED TO go south for his health.
Walter Miski of Milwaukee has
purchased the Robida farm on
the thoroughfare between Eagle
and Muskellunge lake, that sale
being affected the past week.
The Robidas will leave shortly
for Portland. Oregon.
Ernest Holm has purchased
the Morgan farm one mile south
west of Eagle River. the transfer
being made this week.
Village property within the
past few days has been turning
over SO fast that no definite rec
ord can be secured at the time oil
going to press.

FIRST MAN TO ENLIST
William Manbeck, Now in
Regular Army, and Our
First Enlisted Soldier, Home
on Furlough.

William Manheck, son of Mr.,
and Mrs. Andrew Manbeck OF
this city. arrived Thursday from
Camp Zachariah Taylor at Lou
isville, KY, on an eight weeks
furlough.
Manbeck is again in the regu-
lar army, having had to serve
his four years, even though he
was across with the rest of the
soldier boys from America. He
enlisted in the regulars before the
Worlds war. At the outbreak
he was sent across and placed in
the munitions train. Hesaw ac-
ton near the front, for at one
time Jerry sent over a shell that
blew his mule team into smith
crimes. This was not the only
close call he had. but managed
to come out whole when the ar
mistIce was signed.
He was the first man credited
as belonging to Villas county
who entered service in the regu-
lars just as the war was about
to break out and did his bit
across.

be taken to mean that it will be

Mr.. Iuve, who halls from Yer

the state over as a typical tobac-
co county. is an old tobacco
grower. Last year he planted
almost an acre of tobacco on his
farm in Pennington on Found

to dcwu-state buyers eight hun
dred pounds OF cured cigar leaf.
For this he received better than
5000 for his labors. This year
or possibly not till next, he will
erect drying sheds for the hand
ling of his crop. and will make
tobacco culture one of his farms
staples.

MET EVERY EMERGENCY
Eagle Rivers Business Men
and Citizens Found Ready
at Moments Notice.

When E. w. Ellis of Grand
Rapids stipulated that fifteen or
twenty houses with modern con-
veniences be placed at the dis
posal of the skilled workmen in
the new mill this fall, the point
of issue assumed mammoth pro-
portions, insomuch that vacant
residences and monied men in
Eagle River are lacking. But
not the spirit.
Within the hour there was over
100000 pooled as a building
fund, and beside the following
signed up to each erect or modern
ize a residence, or a payment OF
cash:
M. Frankel-2 residences.
August Kreick-1 residence.
Gust Rantz-1 residence.
Hall Bros Il residence.
]. Roderick-1 residence.
Morgan & Sons-l residence.
Alex Higgins residence.
Another emergency that had
to be met was the raising OF
81, 10000 within twenty-four
hours. With this added to the
cash raised a few evenings prev
ious, the outlook was not very
favorable. At a meeting Satur-
day evening this sum was coIiec-
ted, together with. an overrun

double. There is certainly much
credit due sever al individual men
for their untiring efforts relative
TO securing the new industry.
