ar Uncle Wiggily was ready TO do
this. suddenly the door OF the SPUR
rel house opened.
You didn't stay very long, Mrs
Bushytail, spoke the bunny. az he
poured out some OF the candy. Then
he picked up the plate Of nut meats
and by this time he had looked
around and saw that it wasn't the
squirrel lady who had come in. 1t
was the bad old Bushy Bear!
"Wuf! Wuff!" growled the bear.
That means, in bear talk. I'm hum
cry! I want something TO eat"
oh" exclaimed Uncle Wiggily.
Did you-did you want anything,
Mr.. Bear?" The two squirrel boys
ran and hid in a closet. leaving
Uncle Wiggily 10 do the best he
could by himself. Did you wish
anything. Mr.. Bear?" asked the
bunny.
"Yes!" growled the shaggy crea-
ture. Il want some Of that candy !

nibble your earsi"
Uncle Wiggily twinkled his pink
nose very fast. He always did when
. he. was thinking hard. And he was
thinking now.
Very WELL" said the bunny. II
suppose you'll take the candy first,
Mr.. Pear? Nice sweet nut candy?"
Yes. give me candy!" howled the
bear. Then I'll nibble your ears!"
Uncle Wiggily poured out more
candy and began TO stir it up.
This is 10 mix the nuts we'll" he
said.
Hurry" grumbled the bear
Uncle Wiggily handed over a plate
/ OF candy. Hardly waiting for it tc
cool, the bear took a very large and
impolite bite. And then a funny
\ look came over his face. Hidden as
they were in the closet Billie and
Johnnie heard the bears teeth grit
/ ting.
ooh wow!" suddenly yelled the
/ bad chap! i've broken my teeth!
That candy you gave me was full OF
/ hard nut shells!"
"Oh, was it?" asked Uncle Wig.
gily, softly like why, so It wLsp
he went on with a laugh. ct mus
have made mistake and put the
nut shells in the candy and left out
the meats! How funny of mel" he
said as the bear ran away with his
broken teeth. But I think that al
the while the bunny gentleman in
tended 10 play a trick on that bear
don't you?
Anyhow, the bear didn't nibbl,
any one that day. Uncle Wiggily
soon made some good candy. and tn,
squirrel boys liked Il very much. AND

GUNDERSON WAS HAPPY
Former County Agent Sees
Villas in Her Big Showing
at State Potato Show.

The one happy man at the state
potato show last week in Milwau-
kee was Oscar Gunderson, former
county agricultural agent for vi
las county. When Villas was CIV
EN- her markings for fifth place it
is said that Mr.. Gunderson's smile
was worth a million dollars.
His pride in the ittlest-biggest
county dates back for the past
eight or ten years when he was
its first county agent. He knows
what this county has had to con-
tend with in promoting prize
winning spuds, and what it has
had to contend with in bucking
other counties who would spend
hundreds of dollars In dressing
up a booth alone in order to
bring out every known point ben
eficial in winning honOrs. Mr..
Gunderson resigned last spring as
county agent of Villas county,
going to Granville, Ohio, where
he assumed full control of the
Bryn du Farm, a private owned
ranch. On account of the owner
disposing of this farm, making
it over into a golf course and res
idential lots, Mr.. Gunderson is
compelled to seek a new field.
1t is said that he will remove this
month to Milwaukee where he
will take charge of the agricul-
tural department in one of the
state schools in that city, again
becoming a resident of the state
he has known as home" for
many many years

WOMEN ON PETIT JURY
January Term Circuit Court
in Villas County Sees First
Women on Jury.

Which is the proper way to
address a woman on the jury?
Is it proper to say "jurywoman"
or "jurylady"? Anyhow at the
January term of circuit court for
Villas county, which opens at
Eagle River January 9th, there
will be four ladies out of the thir-
ty-six persons drawn Monday by
the jury commissioners, who will
be used in the jury cases on the
January calendar before Judge A.
II. Reid.
Monday the jury commissioners
for the first time drew both men
and women for the coming term,
Four were drawn and they are:
Mrs. w. H. Bent, Mrs. A. X. Ev-
erett, Mrs. A. j. Austin and Mrs.
Finn LAWYER, all of Eagle River,
That the ladies will show just
as good Judgment as the 'men
there is no doubt, and the first
mixed jury in Villas county will
result next term. Other counties
have tried out women as jurymen
and from newspaper reports their
decisions have been just as good
as that of the common ordinary
man.

BIG MOVIES TONIGHT
Community Benefit at Opera
House for the Christmas
Riddles Who Santa Would
Miss.

Santa Claus should be in every
home in Villas county this Christ
mas. Especially so this year when
so many are in need of the neces-
stiles which keep one warm and
well fed. Think of the many kid
dies who must otherwise pass that
great day without anything to
give them an opportunity to say
that that great-hearted parsonage
remembered them.
Those who have plenty; those
who have no children of their
own to add joys of that day are
asked to contribute in some way
to those children and families who
are in need. True, some are to
blame for their present condition
lack of energy TO provide a live
lihood for the wife and children
by the father who is of an indolent
disposition-others through sick
ness or inability to secure work
when anxious to do so. But even
then, the children and the mother
are not to suffer for the faults of
the father.
Christmas time is set aside for
the people to enjoy full measures.
Let us therefore see that no one
in Villas county is in need on
that day.
A community benefit at the OPP
era house will be held tonight
when Charles Ray will star in that
popular film Homer Comes Home"
The entire proceeds from admis-
sion to this benefit movie will 60
towards the purchasing of neces-
sites for needy families and also
for suitable presents for those
Riddles who will certainly pass
through bleak and barren Christ
mas.
Think of some of those tots
getting up in the morning and
witness their anguish when they
find an empty stocking, which had
been hung up the night before
with the unfalteriug conviction
that Santa Claus was no myth"
