Answer-We do not believe that the

thing more than ordinary speculations,
and not very attractive speculations
either. 1t is all very we'll for con-
cern to talk about next years profits.
Anv company can do that. But we
have not seen any income accounts or
balance sheets Of their promotions
which lead as to believe that they have
any sound business reason for making
such a statement As a corollary to
your statement that Business Builders,
Inc, trains men to handle the expanded
business of companies which they have
financed, it should also be remarked
that aarne of these young mem are first

harvest for everybody. While on
this subject | would like to eom-
ment just a little upon our town
appearance. We are woefully
lacking in civic pride. Our town
needs identifying; needs repair
ing, needs painting, there are lots
of worthless shacks and outbuild-
ings that need TO be torn down, in
fact, everybody should go over
their property with a critical eye
and see if they can't improve its
looks that the town in general
may become a better place to i've.
not only for ourselves, but that
the thousands that summer here
may go out and praise us and
send other thousands.
The coming of the Wisconsin
Michigan Lumber Co. with a sure
twenty TO twenty-five years bust
ness ahead or her, employing nun
ureds of men, has started the
town to her rightful place, but
there is still room for an industry
that will develop her dead re-
sources, the water-power, and put
it to work for us.
What do the people of Eagle
River. the citizens of long stand
ing who have stuck by her
through adversely and have hopes
of seeing her prosperous an q
sharing in that prosperity, think
of my theory and plan? As /
stated the power dam has become
a burden almost too heavy for us
To carry, along with roads and
other things that increase our
taxes, for the benefits derived
Let's sell this extra power or IL
necessary give it to Henry Ford,
protecting ourselves for our street
lights, under condition that he
locate a branch of his factory in
Eagle River. We would be money
ahead if we had to give him the
whole dam outright TO get him to
locate here, but ! don't believe
that will be necessary, / don't
think Henry Ford belongs TO The
class of business men who are
looking for gifts, he is a business
man, not a promoter.
Express your opinions, it mat
tiers not what they are, express
them anyway and in everyway
you can, even the knocker may
sometimes do good, if only 10
arouse the ire of some more
worthy citizen and get him to
boost. Express your opinions so
that out of many we may knit to-
gether a plan that will be feasible
and workable and from which we
may produce a branch of the Ford
Automobile Co. in Eagle River.
Most of all what does the Ea tie

think of it?

give up the idea Of playing team
work and res0rted 10 the scramb-

WUMAN JORISIS
 AROUSE DISCUSSION
Propriety of Feminine Sex on
 Stand Is Questioned

London, March "A storm of dis cussion, both commendation and con- demnation, has swept through Lon don ne eNSpaperS as the result or the innovation of having women serve with men as members of juries in d. vorca cases.
 The first mixed jury to sit in the London divorce court has been un- able to agree on a verdict and been discharged after hearing the case TOT four days.
 In the comment on the proceedings, newspapers, editorials and the con- tributed communications of readers have discussed principally the pro- priety of obliging women as members of the jury to examine all the evil dence submitted.
 In this case counsel for one of the parties to the action announced that he had evidence to submit which ne did not consider it proper to place before women jurors. The judge said he was helpless in the matter but ul- timately only the men jurors exam ined the evidence.
 "Nevcr Again."
 Sir Edward MarshaH-Hall, counsei for one of the parties, said that this was the first case he had ever con- ducted before a mixed jury and that he hoped he would never have to deai with a case of such a nature again.
 "It is undeniable that there are many cases in which the assistance of women will be of the greatest val ue to the court" said Sir Edwaro' but there are other cases in wnlcn' from the nature of the evidence much will have to be discussed before them. it is undesirable that they shouio serve"
 Sir Edwards comment evoked a hot retort from George Bernard Shaw, playwright. who writing to the Daily News "as a member Of the lnaie sex" took issue with the views of the barrister.
 "Sir Edward Marshall-Halls as' sumption that my sensibilities in this matter are less delicate than women is not only unfounded but extremeiy offensive" wrote MT. Shaw. 'Why m the name of common sense did this blushing barrister exclude six Jury- men from the apology which ne thought necessary to make for pre- senting them (some of the, exnioi's in the easel to the six jurywomen.

 The play is in three acts and five scenes. In each act there are several groups including mardi gras, futur'st' wedding guests, bridesmaids, servants and others.
