BOY SCOUT BENEFIT

That the public is taking interest
in the Boy Scout movement is eyi-
denced by the announcement that
Mrs. w. H. Bonner and Mrs. August
We'll have undertaken to put on a ben
eft movie for funds for the Scouts to
help them buy uniforms in time for
Memorial Day. j. J. Roderick has gen
erously donated his movie house,
DreamIand, for the ocrasion, and the
ladies will secure an excellent feature
for Tuesday, March s. Besides this
the program will include a couple OF
reels Of Scout pictures, showing the
work of that organization. Tickets
will be on sale before that date and
everyone is urged to buy to the limit
The money will be used for the
Scouts and all donations will be glad
ly accepted. Buy all the tickets you
can. The admission will be nominal,
but don't stop at that. Anything extra
you can afford will be gratefully re-
ceived for the good cause. 1t is not
church affair. The Boy Scout move
ment is broader than church lines and
boys Of ali creeds are equally well
come

NEW QUARANTINE RULE

A new rule on smallpox quarantine
has been promulgated by the state
board of health. Hereafter quarantine
shall extend only to the smallpox pa
tent when other members OF the
household are vaccinated. The rule
means that although the patient shall
be kept strictly isolated, others in the
family may be at liberty, provided
they at once submit to vaccination.
It was voted to dispense with the rule
requiring terminal disinfection after a
communicable disease. This action
follows similar action by large num-
Der of states. The new rule, while not
requiring the use of formaldehyde or
other fumigant, will direct specially
that there shall be thorough cleanup
and disinfection under the direct sup
ervision of the local health depart
ment

Income Tax Returns
Must be in March Is
Births and Deaths in Families
Make Difference in Exemp-
tions - Other Income
Tax Data

Births, deaths, and marriages dur
ing the year 1920 affect materially in
come tax returns for that year.
Millions of babies were added to
family circles, each of whom brings
an exemption OF 5000 in the parents
income tax return.
Widows and widoWers who lost
their husbands or wives during the
year are especially affected They are
single for the purposes of the income
tax law and are granted only an ex-
emption Of $1,000, unless the head of
a family
Persons who were divorced or sep
arated by mutual agreement during
the year also must consider them
selves as single persons.
The status of the taxpayer on De-
eember 81, 1920 determines the
amount of the exemptions. If on that
day the taxpayer was married and
living with wife. or husband, claim
may be made for the $4,000 exemp-
ton. If single; or married, and not
living with wife or husband on De-
cember 81, the exemption is only ST.
900.
Persons who reached majority dur
ing the year and whose earnings for
that period amounted to $1,000 or
more, or $4,000 or more, according to
their marital status, must file a re-
turn and pay tax on their net in
come in excess OF those amounts
To avoid penalty the return must
be in the hands of the Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the district in
which the taxpayer lives, or has his
principal place of business, on or be-
fore midnight of March Is, 1921. =

WHY THEY FAILED

Business men are and should be
interested in report sent out by the
government showing the percentage
of failures during 1920 and their
causes. OF course it forms rather dis
heartening reading, this story of the
other fellows misfortune, but it car
ries a lesson Of value and one that de-
serves careful study.
The high spot in the report is that
of the entire number of concerns that
failed in the United States in single
year, over 80 per cent of them think
of that-over 80 per cent at them
were establishments that did not I'd
vertise. If there was ever an argu-
ment in favor of using printers ink
in a judicious way, your Uncle Sam
has presented it through this report.
We presume that in most cases
these unsuccessful concerns did not
advertise because they we're content
to drag along. Then came the read
justmGnt period and they found that
the very thing that was putting their
competitors over the bumps adyer-
Using had been the one thing they
ignored The merchants who used
printers ink got rid of War-prlce
stocks at even money or a little
better, and we're able to stay on their
feet. The fellow who had the goods
that were declining in value and did
not have judgment enough to use the
papers to tell the people that he want
ed to get from under took his place
with the 80 per cent who are now sad
der but wiser in the ways of the bust
ness world
If you want the best reason in the
world why you should advertise, ju
diciously and sensibly, just sit down
and think over Uncle Sans own fig
ures-that 80 per cent of all business
failures in 1920 were of concerns that
didn't advertise

EAGLE WATERS BEST

For several weeks there has been
quite a controversy carried on in the
Minocqua Times regarding 1.-THE fish
hatchery and the propagation of fish
in these waters. In the last issue
James Nevin of the state conserva-
tion commission has a lengthy reply
ard among other things he states:
I'VE can hatch much larger per-
centage Of eggs that are taken from
the Minocqua waters in the Eagle
River and Spooner hatcheries than
we can at Minocqua This fact was
determined soon after the local fish
hatchery was built and for that rea-
son most of the eggs have been shipt
here for Matching. The waters of the
Eagle chain seem to be about right
for high percentage hatch of the fry
Last season the hatch was over 80 per
cent, which is considered exception
ally high

A travelling collection of Indian
stone implements to be used in the
study of Indian and pioneer history in
the schools of Langlade county has
just been prepared by the state his
torical museum, Madison, at the re-
quest Of the Langlade county normal

celt or Ratchet, grooved axe, knife,
several types of arrow points,a spear
point, knife drill or perforator, and
scraper, together with an explanatory
label pasted in the bottom of the box
and several bulletins on Indian relics,
make up the travelling exhibit
These specimens will be used by
teachers in illustrating talks on pio-
neer and Indian history 1t is likely
that when the availability of these
latest loan exhibits becomes general
ly known to schools, a great extension
of this educational service may be
necessary said G. E. Brown, chief OF
the state historical museum, under
whose direction the boxes were pre-
pared

Boy Scout Council
Will Raise Money
Committee Meeting Held To De-
wise Method of Securing
Money for the Purpose
of Organization

At a meeting of the Boy Scout coun-
ell Sunday afternoon ways and means
Of raising funds were discussed and
before very long an active campaign
will be started to put the organization
on a sound financial basis Like all
other worthy movements, the Boy
Scout work must be adequately fl
nanced in order to insure it's proper
functioning. Undoubtedly there are
many who will wonder why any great
amount OF funds is necessary for the
successful accomplishment of the
Scout work and for that reason the
Scout council has decided to carry on
a campaign of education before start
ing their work of raising the money.
Oneida county pays it's scout commits
sioner a neat salary to take charge OF
all the scout work in that county. 1t
is not proposed to hire an executive
for the local scouts but money will be
needed for the local troop and citizens
are urged to look into the Scout move
ment and see if money spent there
could be better invested than for the
benefit of the boys.
At the meeting it was also decided
to affiliate with the Oneida county
Scouts. This will give the local
troop the advantage of meeting with
other troops in contests, expeditions
and camping trips, at no additional
expense to them, and from their con-
tact with other scout organizations
the boys will get more out of their
work
The Scout movement is one de-
signed to bring out the best in a boys
nature 1t develops character and
manliness and lays the foundation for
a future citizenship that will be a
benefit to the nation. Every aid
should be given the organization

BARN WRECKED


John Hanson, chairman of the town
Of Arbor Vitae and one of the proml-
nent farmers of that town, met with
severe loss Sunday when a high
wind blew down one end of his large
concrete block barn and killed four
valuable cows that had gone inside
just previously Mr.. Hanson had been
working in that part of the barn in
the forenoon and had just gone to his
dinner when the wind struck. The
loss of stock and the damage to the
barn amounts to several hundreds of
dollars, which his Eagle River friends
regret to hear as he has had two
houses burned on the farm in the past
few years.

Now that the price of building ma
terial is down to a level to where it
has not been for some years, we
wish to ask that you come in and
see US about that building you wish
to put up. You know you need to
build and the opportunity now pre-
sents itself of which everybody con-
tempIating on repairing or new
building should avail themselves.
With the price of labor down in pro-
portion with the drop in lumber, we
should build up our village, with

Hayward's Philosophy
by E. F. Hayward. Conoyer. Wis
Yesterdays

Only dim memories are all the past
years;
Page after page full of smiles and of
tears.
Hopes which were blasted, Dreams
that came true,
OF hardships plenty, of pleasures a
few
OF days which gave promise of
something worth while,
But brought tears and heartaches,
instead of smile;
OF battles with self, which were lost
in a day,
OF joys transitory, which came not to
stay
OF struggles to conquer, of battles
hard fought,
OF conflicts you've won, and of others
you've not:
All now are memories but things Of
the past
A history of things, which forever
shall last;
Recording the acts of the weak, and
the brave,
A page for each one, from cradle to
grave
So | bid you old yesterdays hearty
farewell!
What the future holds for us, time
only can tell;
Let us hope it may bring us the things
which are best,
That each new page be brighter than
all Of the rest.
