tO-the-minute Article on
Progress for the Home
TOwn-Ruild Now

To the Editor of the Review:
| wonder if you will allow me to
pay you compliment on your ercel-
lent editorial that appeared in the
last issue of the Review, and to grant
me a little space to collaborate upon
this, today, the most important sub
ject to the general run of the 100 per
cent Americans, Gown your own
home" and how to own it.
Eagle River, in common with prac-
tically every town and city in the
country is short of homes. Many
causes have, of course, entered into
producing this condition, the greatest
of all, for the whole country, being
the Great World War which practi-
cally stopped production of this neces-
sary thing and to a certain extent
stimulated destruction. 1t stopped
production because it shot the costs
so high of practically everything that
entered into production that the man
of average capital or the man of av-
erage earning power found himself
unable to spare the necessary means
to build new homes either for himself
or for investment 1t demanded that
every American help her in her gi-
gantic task with finances to carry on
and bring to a successful conclusion
her undertaking History proved that
our country with very few exceptions
was peopled with Americans" true
to the last drop of their blood and
the last cent in their pocket, and the
way these people contributed to their
country's needs was probably the
greatest surprise and miracle ever
recorded. Had some person stated a
few years ago that any necessity
could arise that would cause the
American people to deprive them
selves of even bare necessities IN or
der to aid their country, he would
have been placed with the lunatics.
All of the above causes boiled down

us with scarcity of decent places to

self a leader and champiOned and led
by that old war-horse, Finn Lawler,
actually went over the top ahead of
all others in our district with the re-
suit that today we are confronted
with the task of producing homes,
homes in every sense of the word,
that will be a credit to the town,
homes to cover our increasing popu-
lation, and homes in which the home
maker-the wife-wilI be proud.
Do you, the man, the lifelong citi-
zen of Eagle River, know, that homes
are today, the most necessary thing
needed here? Do you know that we
have class of families here now and
coming that will have to have homes
in order to keep them with us? Ev-
cry family that arrives here is an as
set, every family that leaves us is a
big loss. Do you know that there is
big demand today for moderate
homes by men who are waiting for
them in order to bring their families
and become of, and with us? 1t is a
fact that there could today be used
as fast as completed at least twenty
houses that would house new fami-
lies.
Eagle River has always been proud
OF the fact, that she was fighter,
proud of the fact that she was able

COMMUNICATED

10 the Editor OF the REVIEW:
Just returned from a trip to Ke-
nosha, Wis, and was there during the
storm Of March 5, and during the
thunder and lightning the power
plant shut off the electric lights and
was informed that the company did
this during all storms. Street lights
and everything were extinguished in
a city the size of Kenosha, claimed
to be the fourth city in Wisconsin
at the last census, and when this oc-
Cured there, wondered what kick
we people of Eagle River have over
our little plant.

Land Clearing Body
Out After Members
Every Business Man Should Be
come a Member of the New
Land Clearing AssOcia-
tiOn-JOin Now

The business men of Eagle River
and the farmers of the surrounding
territory, including Phelps, Conover,
State Line and Sayner have formed a
cooperative association in the high
estsense of the word--an association
where you may invest a little and at
the end of the year draw out lot
only with a membership in this assoc
iation he keeps right on drawing div
idends year after year.
An application blank will be mailed
every resident of Eastern Villas coun-
ty and it is expected there will Nbe a
100 per cent response, or better still,
you may call on the secretary of the
association, G. H. Wiegand at the
Farmers & Merchants Bank and fill
in your application. 1t costs the,
farmer only Is cents to join and the
business man One Dollar to wear a
button showing that they are boost
ers and members of the Eastern vi
las County Land Clearing Associa-
ton
There isn't farm but what could
profitably use more cleared acres and
there isn't business house in Eagle
River but what would do a larger bus
mess if the farm had this land pro-
ducing crops. There is no doubt but
what it will pay everybody big re-
turns on their investment.
If every farmer would invest as
much in dynamite this spring as he
does in feed during the winter, we
would soon have a country that re-
sembled a prairie.
The contests held in some coun-
ties have not admitted the large
farmer in competition for prizes with
the small farmer, but our directors
a scale whereby he would
arranged scale whereby he would
be discounted so many points for the
use of tractors, expensive stump pull
lers, machinery and hired help. This
places him on an equal basis with the
little fellow who has to do SO much
Of his work with elbow grease and
determination. Fu9ther explanation
Of this feature will be made at the
in the different localities theI
last week of March when Mr.. FiedleNe
of the state land clearing department
will be here for one week. 1t is go
ing to be a good race and the handk
caps viii be tied on right at the start
to equalize the contestants. So the
little man does not need to be afraid
that he will stand no chance with the
big farmer as he has just as good
chance to win the grand prize as the
other man. 1t is hard effort that will
be rewarded.

HONORED PIGS.

"A great honor has been shown to
u.s." said Porky Pig. "And that is the
truth"
"Grunt, grunt, what is it; what has
the honor been?" asked Miss Ham.
"Some people," said Porky Pig.
"went on a trip to see beautiful
country estate. Now country estate
is a big farm dressed up in its best
clothes, believe.
THAT is the way I understand 1t
to be, grunt, grunt.
"And the people who went to see
this country estate went from here.
Our very own people went. BY our
very own people I do not mean that
the pigs went, you understand, but
the farmer and his wife and the chill
dren all went, leaving the pigs ana
the chickens and the geese at home"
did you want to 60, Porky?' asked
Miss Ham.
II was undecided about It," said
Porky. 'If went l might miss some
good things to eat here and If l
didn't 60 I might miss some good.
things to eat there.
$50, as say, squeal, squeal, I was
undecided But the question was de-
cided for me. Yes, 1t was!
81 wasn't asked to go and didn't
have to decide it, But I've heard
about the trip since the family have
come back.
'The children were very mucn
amused because upon this beautiful
country estate there were a great
many pigs.
"That was joke on them They went,
thinking they were going to see q

which one Of his 1850 policemen was
the most polite and best Informed.
Policeman Patrick J. Sheehy, stationed
at Dearborn street bridge, won the
prize. When Sheehy went on the po-
lice force he was not very we'll read'

snowproof Ponies.

In discussing the problem OF the
origin Of horses, an eminent investi-
gator described as one of the most
distinct kinds now living the Gel
tic ponies, which are found in the
most northern parts Of Iceland. They
reach q height of only 4 feet and are
so abundantly furnished with hair
that In winter storms they are prac-
ncally snowproof. He observed the
conduct of one of these ponies during
a snowstorm. AS soon as the storm
began the. animal turned her hind
quarters to it and in short time the
snow had formed kind Of shield OF
disk upon the long hair growing about
the root OF the tail. Thus protected
the pony did not shift her position
while the storm lasted, except-to turn
with change Of the wind.

ing, but they saw pigs! Cleaner pigs
than we are, perhaps, but still they
saw pigs!
"But l think it was great honor
shown to us. and to the whole family
of pigs" continued Porky, "that even
on a fine and wonderful country es-
fate. which was worth taking trip
to see, they should have had pigs.
"They didn't feel they could have
anything fine without having pigs.
That is the way 1 look at it. And 1t
has. baeS comforting thought to me
too <fOf feel as though they will do
still more for their pigs here when
they see how highly pigs are thought
of.
Eyes, they will do still more for us,
I feel sure"
"That's a happy thought" said Miss
Ham. "and I am glad that such great
honor has been shown u.s..
"Baa, baa," said Mrs. Sheep. Il
heard that one Of the children saw
beautiful picture in the house which
was upon the country estate and that
beautiful picture was of a good many
sheep sitting upon mountain side
with the moonlight upon them.
Eyes I heard the child who had seen
that picture. speak of it as a most
beautiful picture.
"Baa. baa, she said we looked so
lovely and cool and restful as we sat
there in the moonlight, And we looked
so pretty too"
"Grunt, grunt," said Porky Pig.
"You weren't sitting in the picture.
Only pictures of you and your family
were in the picture"
"Baa, baa." said Mrs. Sheep. ut IS
useless to talk about art and beauty
with a pig. Quite useless. baa. baa,
baa."
"Quite useless" agreed Perky.
"Ouite useless indeed. We do not
waste our time over such things, and
we never will.
Besides our ideas about beauty are
| different from the ideas other crea-
lures have.
1--WE think mud is beautiful. Other
creatures don't. We think 1t Is rather
a waste of time to pay too much at
tention about looking well and about
looking neat and clean. Other crea-
lures don't agree with US.
"But oh, the honor that has been
shown the pig family by even having
pigs on the beautiful country estate
| that the family went to see!
"That is a great, great honor In
deed"
II believe a meal is coming now,
said Miss Ham to herself.
i But Porky heard her and said,
i II can see the farmer coming toe
TIL be ready as well as you.
| "Grunt, grunt, I'll be ready for IT..
And all the other pigs were read!
for their meal too and met the farme
with grunts of gladness.

Anna Karenina's intimates were Of
this circle In st. Petersburg society.
Practically forced into a loveless mar
rage with Aleksei Karenin, twenty
years her senior, Anna had been a
faithful wife for eight years. Karenin
held high official position and every
thing in his life was subordinated to
his career. He was q tireless worker
and such social hours as he enjoyed
were spent in circles best suited to his
advancement, but his charming and
adaptable wife made friends In all

character, Karenin had an utterly I'M

calm, cool, absolutely just, but love
warm, human love-was stranger In
his household. All the affection OF
Anna Karenina's heart was lavished on
