Velocity OF Light.

Physicists never tire of efforts to
Increase the accuracy of their knowl'
edge OF the fundamental facts OF
science. A REORGANIZATION OF the We
locity of light by the Fizean toothed
wheel method was made at Nice. These
experiments were remarkable ON ac'
count of the great distance over which
the beam of light employed was trans
mltted. Previously such n beam had
been caused to travel about fifteen
miles, but on this occasion the reflect
ing mirror was SO placed that the total
distance traversed by the beam, going
and returning was fifty-seven miles.
The mean OF 1l09 observations gave
for the velocity OF light 1S6,22oh

selves to a high degree Of power. The
kings OF Media subdued the mountain
land OF Persia, and established rela-

mountains, where he defeated the
Iberians, to the sandy deserts Of Lydia
He burnt Jerusalem; defeated Ammon'
Moab and Edom; conquered Tyre the
richest city OF the Phoenicians; laid
waste Egypt, and formed his empire
on new boundaries. He adorned Baby

CHRISTMAS CHEER

Rev. w. ]. Davies has been busy
this week getting Christmas cheer
packages ready for schools and the
homes where Santa Claus will make
but brief stops. The Congregational
churches of Waupun, Appleton, Wau-
kesha, Milwaukee, Winnetka, Illinois,
Madison, River Falls and Oshkosh all
gave large contributions to be dis
tributed among the needy and to
which the Eagle River Woman's club
further added. Eleven schools were
sent boxes, containing candy and toys
FOR every child in the district and
family packages containing groceries
also will be means of making this
Christmas more pleasant for seven
teen households not in a position to
take part in exercises requiring cash

good fellowship and brotherly love
that will surely react to the givers
when they finally say goodby to this
world for the one in which the found

SHORTAGE OF HORSES

A serious shortage of draft horses
for farm work threatens in Wisconsin
if breeding be not Immediately re-
sumed, says the state department of
agriculture. In 1907 1921 stations
were licensed for public service in
the state. In 1918, the total had fallen
to 2,435, while but 1858 were licens-
ed in 1920 and probably not more
than one brood mare in five produc-
ed foal. That, too, has been the
case for several years back, the con
sequence being that the number of
young horses in the state is far be-
low average and much less than con-
ditions necessitate. Meanwhile the
available horses and mules are grow
ing old and worn and soon must be
replaced by efficient work animals.

ADVERTISE RIGHT

Every business man should adver-
tise, but advertise right In the first
place, he should keep his business
constantly in the eyes Of the public.
A small ad in each issue Of the paper
is better than a big one a few times
in the course of the year. The up-to-
date and successful business man
knows Just what his gross business
has amounted to. He can figure his
profit and right then he lays his plans
for the ensuing year and first of all.
will set aside a percentage of his
gross business for the advertising,
which is three per cent, and in the
large cities as much as five per cent
is used. And it pays, else newspaper
advertising would have been obsolete
years ago-before you were born.

FIR. SALE is NOW DEAN

At the conference held at Green
Bay this week with Bishop Paul
Rhode of the Green Bay diocese, at
which some two hundred priests at
tended, fifteen new deaneries were
created in the state and ST. Johns
church of Amigo was slected as one
of them, and the Rev. Conrad Sale
was selected as dean.
This deanery of which St Johns
church is the head and which will be
presided over by Father Sale, is
composed of all the churches in the
county of Langlade and parts of the
counties of Shawano and Forest, in
GLIDING the churches at Tigerton,
Birnamwood, Crandon and at North
Crandon and others, totalling six
teen.
The purpose Of establishing this
deanery is that the bishop finds it is
impossible to take care of the con-
stantly increasing work and must

ates. All his orders and instructions
will hereafter be issued to FIR. Sale
and he in turn will send them to the
priests and churches under his juris-
diction. FIR. Sale will also be called
upon to make many of the visitations
to churches heretofore made by the
bishop.
Father Sale was selected for this
important position because of his
long and faithful service in this sec
ton. He has for twenty-seven years
had charge of St Johns church and
is one of the older priests in point of
service in the diocese. His appoint
ment reflects credit upon the com
munity as well as upon himself. An

High School Basket
Ball Team in Trim
High School Boys Opened Bas-
ketbalI Season With Two
Snappy Games at the
Lyceum Friday.

The Eagle River high school bas-
ketball team opened the season at
the opera house last Friday night
when it met, and was defeated by
the town team comprised of some of
the best of last years crack high
school combination, by the score of
rs to 81.
The big game was preceded by a
preliminary contest between the new
freshman team and a quintet com
prised of the best from the other
three classes of the school, who took
the name of the All Stars. The All
Stars won by margin of five points
in a closely fought game. The play
ing of these two teams shows that
there is plenty of material among the
lnderc1assmen to insure a good team
to represent the school in the future.
Their playing was snappy and in
spite of their defeat, the freshies
had teamwork that was well organ
lied.
In the high schOol-town team mix
up the winners had the advantage on
weight but lacked the speed which
won for the high school the points
they made. The first half ended with
the score Is to in favor of the
town boys, but, in the third quarter
The school quintet rallied and made
twelve more points to the towns
three, making the score 10 to Is. In
that quarter the school boys played
real has,5eaal1. Their formations.
worried With precision and their
shots at tie basket were accurate. In
the final quarter they did not do so
well. Their total of points in that
period was eight against the town
boys thirteen which made final
score Of 81 to 26 for the game
The game was fast all the way
through and barring little rough
ness in the latter part was probobly
as good game as we shall see be-
tween any teams here this season.
