SUITS US FARM REFUGE
State Conservation Commits
sion Established Wild Life
Refuge on Mccullough
Farm.

The Conservation Commission
have established as a Wild Life
Refuge, the farm of c. G. Nc
Cullough down the Wisconsin
river about five miles from Eagle
River, and which is known as the
Suits Us" farm. This was done
last week according to an ad-
vertisement now appearing in the
Villas County News.
The act of the commission goes
into effect on September 18th.
and will remain a refuge for a
period of five years.
During that time it will be
unlawful 10 hunt or trap within
the confines of that farm, and no
firearm can be carried on the
land without a heavy penalty be
ing assessed against the person
violating.
The state is just awakening to
the fact that some provision Is
for the further protec-
ton of the game, which IS rap
idly being depleted throughout
the entire northern part of the
state. If properly protected there
will be no need of fearing a
shortage in either of the variet-
les of wild game in this section.

Eagle River Forfeits Game Al
most WOn-UnfOrtunate Incl

Ninth Inning With Score 6-5.
When two well matched teams
get together to indulge in the
national pastime. it is regrettable
tina an official of the game should
be allowed to arbitrate whose chief
interest is to see the best team
win and who permits a few fans
to influence his decisions to such
an extent that the game is for
feited to the visiting club. This
was the case yesterday when
Rhinelander went to Eagle River
All through the game Umpire

A CITY OF JUST WEEDS
Shawano Not the Only Place
Where Weeds Grow Un-
Molested L essen for
Eagle River.

The following article taken
from last weeks Shawano Jour
nal, Is certainly worth the read
ing. especially by the average
citizen Of Eagle River. While the
article applies exclusively to Sha-
wano. and Is written by Editor
Stanley for any good it might
bring. still its application to this
village and many others is easily
seen.
Take for instance the village
cemetery. Cold not some one civ
nc organization here get active
and place this hallowed plot in
condition which would appeal 10
the paSserby as a monument TO
the memory Of those whom we
have lost from amongst our
midst?
Read the following by Mr..
Stanley:
Yesterday a young lady who has
been away from Shawano for two
years came into the office. Have
you noticed any changes in the
city, we asked? Yes" said she.
the weeds are bigger" Then
she added that if it were not for
the weeds this city would be more
beautiful than the average town.
Out in the town of Green Valley
Is a little settlement that people
used TO call Midtown" Now
it has been made dry and it is
known as Pleasant Valley" Over
IN the west part of the county
is a little village dubbed Dog
town because once 1t was filled
with dogs. If we do not have
a care and get rid of our weeds,
we will run the risk of being
known as "WeedtOwn."
This picture is not overdrawn.
Take a look at any of the back
streets and you will be astOnish-
ed. The Womens Club could do
no more valuable thing than 10
make this matter of cleaning
out the weeds done of an active
campaign and protest.-Shawano

Skinned Fawn to Park

Conservation Warden Oberholt-
ger shipped a fawn to the state
park at Bagley, Wisconsin on the
Monday morning train. The
fawn had been captured when
very young this spring by farm
er living near the Deerskin river,
and had become very tame dur
ing its association with civiliz-
ton. The state law is that any
one capturing a live deer must
secure a permit and pay a small
fee for permission to keep it in
an enclosure. The state park IL
located in Grant county near the
Mississippi river.

WALKED OFF GROUNDS
Rhinelander Forfeited Game
to Eagle River Sunday
Poor Exhibition of Sports
men.

With a lead Of but one score in
the ninth inning last Sunday.
Rhinelander forfeited the game to
Eagle River by as a poor a show
ing of sportmanship as has been
witnessed on any ball grounds
this season. Having taken adj
vantage of a decision on first
which was against them; having
collected their money for the
game in advance. and seeing their
downfall at the finish, they glad
~ took the chance and walked
off the field.
Rhinelander in the first half
of the ninth had 8 to Eagle
Rivers . scores. Eagle River at
bat had two men on bases and
none out. Objection was made
by Eagle River when Morgan was
interfered with in running TO
first by Rhinelander's pitcher,
who blocked him. throwing Nor
gan, the baserunner. Ball had
not reached the first base when
interference happened. Cohen,
umpire of bases called Morgan
out; Frankel, umpire-in-chief and
who has control of batter to first,
claimed Morgan safe on account
of interference. White, Rhine
lander's catcher, avowed Morgan
was safe. Rhinelander quit the
field.
Rhinelander and Eagle River,
up TO this time had played gilt
edge ball. Rhinelander came over
here with fifteen players, three
of whom arrived from Tigerton
and Marion on the early morning
train. Sure was after Eagle Riv-
er's scalp. That they would have
taken it, was much mooted, Eagle
River having everything in her
favor for a run or so in the last
time TO bat. There seems to be
no question in the minds of Wis
itors who witnessed the game,
but that Rhinelander saw the
finish, and with a bunch of mon
ey up on the game, chose this
moment TO bust it up. Rhine
lander walked off the field and
thereby forfeited the game. 1t
was the poorest showing of
craftsmanship ever witnessed,
as their own players
admitted publicly that they were
wrong.
It is said that there are two
cities down state who will not
play Rhinelander any more, ow-
ing 10 their unsportsmanlike
methods. How true this is, can
easily be determined.
How the fellows who really
seen the game must smile when
they read the following which
appeared in Mondays Rhineland-
er News concerning the game.
Would suggest that the News
man spend little time and mon
ey investigating his teams re-
cord. before publishing some
thing which he cannot back up.
Here it is:

First Monroe School in 1925.
The first school to be built in Mon
roe township, q history relates, was
opened to pupils in 1925. 1t was To-
Gated in what is now known as Dis.

first teacher. The present school
building was opened in the fall OF
1917. 1t had been expected that the
building would have been ready for
occupancy in 1916, but there was a de
lay in construction. The equipment
was not completed until the summer
OF 1917.
Superintendent L. F. Schieser says
When the present school superseded
the old regime nine rural schools were
consolidated and the two high schools
which were formerly at Eldorado and
West Manchester are now abandoned
Because the new building was no.
ready the high school was organized
at Eldorado in the fall Of 1916, the
first year of the Monroe course being
completed at that point. while await
