AUTOING IN JANUARY
Big Woods Country, Like
Down Fasteners, Use Gas
Wagons as in Summer
Time.

Barring a few drifts of snow,
which with a grader could be
plowed out in few hours, auto
ing IN Northern Wisconsin way
long after we should be frozen
up tighter than the Eskimo, is a
real delight this winter. Cars
are running to a certain extent
all over the county of Villas
that county you understand.
that is becoming famous for its
prize winning babies, bumper
crops of spuds. bully good cattle
and bunch of boosting men and
women.
Between Sayner and Eagle
River, a distance of twenty miles,
there are Tor were) but two
short drifts Of snow which delays
traffic on wheels to some extent.
Between Sisson's resort on little
st. German lake and Eagle Riv-
er, thirty miles per hour can be
realized very easily-and there
are no speed cops to check up on
YOU either at this time of year.
From State Line to Eagle
River, about twenty miles also,
the road is said to be spleudid,
except one slight stretch be.
tween Rummeles and State Line,
and Conover and Eagle River.
A few hours with a plow would
put this and the Sayner road in
good shape.
In several places the highways
are practically bare, the rain of
week ago, together with the
sunshine having cut the snow
away. The weather at no time
this winter has been cold. The
register shows but a few morn
ings below zero since winter set
in.
And still they call this the
frozen north" and down state
people are plying us poor be-
nighted folks who are sno we'd in
and frozen TO death. Seems as
though someone is mistaken.

Edward Decker Spending
the Winter in Northern
Wisconsin at the Sayner
Home.

Seventy-eight years young is
certainly not amiss when speak
ing of the age of Edward Decker,
stepfather to Mrs. o. w. Sayner,
of Sayner, who is sren]ing the
winter at the Sayner home in
the town OF Plum Lake.
MIR. Decker is one of the old
time residents of the Catskills,
his home being in Green county,
New York, aud for a man of his
age is well preserved. His ability
to put it over on the younger
men of this date and age is
shown by the fact that he can
still deliver tull days work and
do it with apparent ease. Just
since his arrival at Sayner he has
builded a bell tower for the
Protestant church in that village
and il was his labors that erect
ed it.
MIR. Decker is the father of DR..
Decker of Crandon, who is well
known in the Plum lake section.

WASHINGTON, Jan. i3-The United
States Of America Is now rapidly be-
coming the worlds matrimonial
center.
Blessed with an oversupply Of
males in proportion TO females, this
country Is now attracting women OF
all nations at the rate OF nearly
$4,000 a year, government records
show. Thousands Of women hope TO
obtain husbands and homes In this
country, while thousands are coming

from whom they have been sepa-
rated for years.
Every ship from Europe and the
British Isles Is bringing women here.
They constituted GA per cent. Of
the total OF all immigration in the
fiscal year ended June 30, and the
proportion now is probably greater:
Before the war. women constituted
30 per cent. OF the immigrants. Brit
ish, Irish, Italian and French women
form nearly 80 per cent. OF the total
, immigration from these countries.
only the dark-eyed beauties Of

native land being only i3 per cent
OF the total departures from theif

The rush OF women from the

the government should set up a

same problem is being considered by
officials. In practically all schemes
proposed to gain husbands for the
European women the United states
IS regarded as the most logical coun-
try TO furnish the needed males. The
