PHELPS NOTES

The display of canned fruits and
vegetables of Mrs. Homer K Galpin
at the county fair, all raised on their
farm and put up by her created a
great deal of interest. There were
sixteen varieties, not including fruits
and during the season she has put
up 400 cans for winter and spring
use. The quality is much better than
the kind usually found in grocery
stores and aso is an object lesson
in thrift. Mrs Galpin states that it is
she uses. Not over twelve cans a day
are handled but that is done each
morning, and has not lost can in
five years, using the cold pack met
bod in wash boiler and steam press
ure cooker and the contents placed
in glass top jars.
The Luna school in which she
takes an active interest also took a
number of prizes.
Mrs Galpln was one OF those taxing
an airplane ride, returning home one
evening in it and enjoyed the sight
of their home and farm as it appears
high in the air, and thirty minute
trip altogether. Her work in this
neighborhood among the poorer class
es in showing them how to make
clothing and improve their ways of
living and raising them to higher
standards in the world is deserving of
great praise and is much appreciated
and visibly demonstrated by the love
and respect given her by all. Her
precept that "The greatest charity is
to teach man not to accept charity"

OLD FRIENDS CALLED

We were agreeably surprised Sat
urday night to receive a brief visit
from Mr.. and Mrs. w. 0 Dyer of Mill
adore, they having driven up to re-
turn home with Mr.. and Mrs. Leo
Stalker Of oxford, the ladies being
sisters. Mr.. Dyer is cashier of the bank
at Milladore which institution he or
ganized some years ago. We remember
him better as the genial Dr. Dyer, OF
Westfeld, who for good many years
enjoyed a large patronage extending
over two counties with a ride that
kept two good driving teams and a
driver busy most of the time.
Judging from his popularity as ply
stefan then, his bank is a flodrishing
and well patronized business feature
of his town. Anyway, we hope that
another decade will not pass without
longer visit from them.

SAVING TWO YEARS.
SUPPLY SEED CORN
Good Crop This Year Should Be
Laid Away in Case of Fail
ure Next Season, Says
Department Head

Wisconsin is having one of the best
corn years in its history. A favorable
| season is Fastening the ripening of
the crop, and there is every indica-
ton that there will be plenty Of seed
corn for next spring
But despite these favorable pros
poets E. D. Holden of the agronomy
department of the University of Wis
consin, is urging the farmers Of the
state to LAY by liberal stock of
seed. Wisconsin has had some Sc
we're lessons in the past few years
on the subject of seed corn shortage.
We will have only ourselves to
blame if a bad season next year
leaves us without seed for the fol-
lowing spring and forces us into a
mad scramble to secure anything in
the way of seed corn which can be
dug up from the feeding cribs of the
neighboring states," declares Mr.
Holden. "This has happened in the
past; let us see that it does not hap
pen again. Save seed corn enough
for two years"
Mr.. Holden is asking the growers
to take extra care in selecting and
storing the seed ears this fall in or
der to increase the vigor and stand
Of the crop next summer BY going
through the field before the crop is
harvested and picking goodlooking
typical ears from large healthy, leafy
stalks, seed of strong character can
be secured.
The greatest cause of uneven stand
and missing hills is poorly cured
Seed" says Mr.. Holden. in order
to be sure of strong, viable seed; it is
essential that the selected ears be
taken indoors and hung up to dry
where there is a good circulation of
air. and in freezing weather; heat
from stove or furnace. After the
seed corn is thoroughly dried, it may
be stored in any convenient place
where it will remain dry and where
the mice cannot get at it. Well-cured
seed corn will stand freezing tenn

vigorous plants next year.

on the material sent to the school
The affairs of the nation cannot rise
above the home If the home is right,
the children will be right and by ele-
waiting the home one elevates the gov
eminent. Numerous sacrifices are
made by parents to give their children
an education.
The teacher is the cooperating fac
tor. She trains the children in the
best possible manner. The school is
supplementary to the home. If the
child is handicapped the teacher tries
in numerous ways to overcome it. If
a child is especially bright she aids
and encourages him to use his talent
and to become the very highest type
of citizen. Great stress should be laid
on the selection of a teacher and the
matter of few dollars should not de-
termine that selection.
Lastly there is the pupil, all other
factors existing for this one. Some
times child does not want an educa-
ton. His grandfather did not have
one and he can get along without one.
Then said Mr.. Dick 1--WE feel the
need of a new Edison invention, but
ton to open his eyes, ears and mouth
through which we could cram educa-
ton into him and seal it up for future
USE"

TALK At BARBECUE

"There are six factors in the free
public schools which must be closely
matted if they are to produce results,
said Geo. S. Dick of the State Depart
ment of Education at the second an
nual Farmers Picnic and Barbecue at
the fair grounds Saturday afternoon
"They are the state, school officers,
taxpayers, patron; teacher and pupil
The state, he said; is interested in
the public school because it is making
an investment in citizenship. me
state wants a higher type of citizen
ship and to get it the expenditure OF
large; sums of money is necessary.
Ten state normal schools were given
three millions for running expenses for
the next two years. The University OF
Wisconsin received ten million dollars
to be used for the same purpose. The
state is not only interested in the
school through large expenditures OF
money but it enacts laws to make
school buildings to the best advantage
of teacher and pupil. Then too, the
state sets certain standards to which
every teacher must comply. For fear
some citizens may not be interested
in this great opportunity the state has
compulsory education.
The. school officer is the business
manager of the public school. Any
member, who serves on the school
board is rendering patriotic service
to this country Only small class OF
people does not appreciate the service
of board members. 1t is true that the
school officer sometimes blunders.,
but if so it is through lack of knowl-
edge of the school law.
Without the taxpayer there would
be no public schools and many chill
dren would be deprived of an educa-
ton. A taxpayer who has no children
pays for the education OF his neigh
boris children without complaint. In
this way the children in the United
States are given the best possible
chance to make good citizens.
The patron or parent is the deter
mining factor in the home. A diff
ference in the material sent to the
school makes a difference in the pro
duct just as the kind of wood sent tC
a pulp mill affects the product. The
citizenship of the nation depends up

past there has been more or less
uncertainty as to just what it's powers
and obligations were. The members
of the commission draw no salaries
for their services but are often freely
criticized for what they do or do not
do. This is hardly fair considering
that they give a good deal Of time
from their private affairs to those of
the municipality, and like all other
citizens serving in like capacity sim
cerely try to do the best they can.
Quite lot of the complaints made
regarding the efficiency of the COM
mission has often been made by those
who could not be induced under any
circumstances to take a position upon
that body and deprive their own pri-
vate business affairs of the attention
that some one must devote to looking
after business that is no more theirs
than it is that of their neighbors and
for which they receive no compen-
sation,
If the revenue of the plant would
permit, though we understand it will
not, a better way would be hire a
man competent to look after it in
every way and pay him in accordance
with his services. Until that time, the
light and water commission should
be sympathized with, instead of be-
ing criticized for most of their actions

BARBECUE BIG SUCCESS

The second annual picnic and bar
becue given by the C-S Club at the
fair grounds Saturday was an event
that met with greater success than
had been anticipated by the ladies of
the organization. With community
service as one of their main incen-
tives, the club organized last year,
conceived the idea of an annual picnic
townspeople could get together for one
day after the harvest season for a
general jollification and get-together
visit. The success of the event last
year prompted the ladies to make even
more elaborate plans for this years
picnic, and that their efforts were re-
warded was evidenced by the large
attendance accorded the event Satur-
day.
The main feature of the day was
the big barbecue. Two beeves and
six sheep were roasted whole and
SCIFCu Out 1IOC " oil. RCA1OOl1l1AO1t
stands throughout the grounds sup
piled the other necessary victuals for
hearty meal for those who did not
bring picnic lunches. Other conces-
sions gave the picnickers plenty of
opportunity for amusement. The Eagle
River Band livened the program with
plenty of music. A community sing
and short talk by George S. Dick Of
the state department of education, an
account Of which appears elsewhere
in these columns, formed part of the
afternoon program. Sports, games and
races, with valuable prizes donated by
the business men of the village, made
the day busy one for the younger
generation. A big dance at the opera
house ended the days festivities.

Hayward $. Philosophy
E. F. Hayward, Conover Wis.

Mans nature seems to be to crave
The things that bring applause
and fame;
To do some act considered brave,
And call attention to his name.
Some born of genius win applause
With scarce an effort on their part
While some, by natures unknown
laws,
Have disappointment from the
start.
Somerisk their lives in doing things,
Which at the most could bring
but wealth;
Which most invaribly takes wings
wings
And leaves them broken down
in health.
I've seen it all, in my few years;
I've watched the passing show go
by;
I've learned these things are bought
with tears,
There's naught but GOOD can
satisfy.

GROW AFTER FROST

Do potatoes grow after the vines
have been killed by the frost? Anton
Follstad, one of Langlade county S
most successful potato growers, dem
onstrated by experiment on his farm
near Elcho, two years ago. that they
did. The Journal at that time made
reference to the experiment and a
story also appeared in the Wisconsin
Agriculturist regarding it. The ex-
pertinent showed that the growth in
creased 26.4 per cent after the frost
had killed the vines. If the same per
centage were carried out it meant an
increase in his field that year of 81
bushels per acre.
The department of agriculture of
the federal government apparently
noted the experiment and in its last
bulletin, No. 958; refers to the Fol
stad experiment, placing it in the list
among experiments made by eminent
scientists in England, Germany and
the United States.
Mr.. Follstad's experiment is the
first known to have been attempted
along that line, and was absolutely
original with him. Mr.. Follstad said
he had been thinking about the mat
ter for several years before making
the actual experiment, and when he
did make it it verified this contention
that the "tubers do grow after the
vine has been frozen" Amigo Jour

MEETING SHOWS NEED
OF NEW GENERATOR
Village Board, Light and Water
Commission and Citizens in
Meeting Last Week to
Discuss Situation

A meeting of the village board, the
light and water commission and in
terested taxpayers was held at the
town hall last Thursday night. After
considerable discussion of the projects
in view it was unanimously voted by
those present to authorize the village
to take legal steps necessary for the
raising of sufficient funds to lay
new water main from the end OF
Main street west on the county road
thence from there into the premises
of the Wis Mich Lbr Co, and for
such other extensions or repairs as
may be necessary at this time.
A new generator to be attached to the
new wheel recently installed at the
dam was asked for by the commission
together with some minor improve
ments needed but for which there, was
not sufficient funds.
The total sum amounted to $780,
600 which is to be raised by mortgag-
ing the Eagle River public utility. It
was thought best to raise the money
by those means rather than by bond
issue against the village itself, there
by saving it's credit for other pressing
necessities, such as sewers and street
improvements which the growing
needs of the village will demand.
There was but little opposition ex-
pressed as everyone realized that the
improvements must be made, in fact
should have been made before. The
water main will furnish fire protec-
ton to the street known as the county
road, for several years without any
protection whatever although proper
ty there has been paying taxes to
protect other portions of town. The
mill and yard of the Wis.-Mich Lbrl
Co, is also justified in asking protec-
ton and gentlemen's agreement to-
that effect was entered into to at
the time of it's location in Eagle River.
The generator is also necessity
in order to derive any benefit from
the expensive water wheel purchased
last year, and when coupled together
will furnish auxiliary power for any
purpose wanted, but will be especially
valuable in case of any thing going
wrong with the old plant in the case
of a bad fire, which is apt to occur
sometime.
special election will be called
to ratify the issuing of mortgage certi-
ficates upon the light and water plant,
and it is the intention to get the water
main laid and in operation before
extremely cold weather sets in.
In paying off the Indebtedness con-
tracted, it will raise taxes somewhat
but nevertheless the conditions exist
and must be taken care Of With same
the increase in valuation that Eagle
River has shown within the past year
or two, it should not be very burden
some and there is every indication
that long before the total has been
paid that the valuation and revenue
of the village will be much greater.
than now. An arrangement was made
whereby in the future the light and
water commission will assume full
charge of the water works system
which will be good thing as in the

NEGRO BANKS

We point with pride to the marvel

tions in Tidewater, Virginia. There
are operating today banking instttu-
tions with Il combined capital and sur
plus of over S55S,900, deposits of over
81 ,9OO, 600 and total resources of near
ly S3.00O.OOO. Following liberal pol
icy of credit extension. safeguarded by
sound and effective methods of protec
tion the Negro banks of Tidewater OF
fer encouragement TO all trades ana
professions. As result of this policy
confidence has been inspired and -ari-
Gus new and necessary enterprises
have come into the service of the peo-
pie.
Perhaps the greatest service these
banks are rendering to the commu-
nifty is the encouragement of THRIFT
among our people. Some of the diff
ferent methods which the banks are
using TO encourage thrift are the saw
ings department, Christmas savings
clliigs, vacation clubs, home banks, ana
the public school savings department.
All of these serve as means or edu-
cation and are very effective in en-
couraging thrift The Christmas saw
ings clubs alone this year represented
saving of nearly S500,O0O. AT least
75 per cent of this half million dollars
will be spent with white merchants be-
cause of the appalling lack of Negro
merchants with sufficient volume and
variety of goods to meet the public de-
mand Aside from encouraging thrif.
these banks are offering encourage
ment and assistance to Negro mer-
chants with the hope that their service
may in the future compete favorably
with that of white merchants.-Wll-
