The spring meeting of the Villas
county board of supervisors will
be held at the county clerks of
flee next week Thursday. The
most important piece of business
before the meeting is the matter
of securing another county agent
for the county with a big future.
Villas county certainly cannot do
otherwise than hire another man
to assist in the development of
the county. His efforts, rightly
placed, will mean more cleared
acres, better producing farms,
better stock, bigger crops. greater
valuation on real and personal
property-and a lowering of taxes
will be the result. If we want 20
be progressive and keep the stride
we have started, we must have a
live-wire agent.

Sheep Ranch Near FIambeau.

II IS reported that large sheep
ranch is to be established by west
ern capitalists on a tract of cut
over land near Lac du Flambeau.
An initial expenditure of $4,000
will be invested in the project. it
is said. At the present time little
can be learned regarding the plans
Of the promoters except that work
will be started on the ranch in
the coming spring.
For several years past sheep
raising has been conducted with
success in Oneida, Villas and adj
joining counties. Several fair
sized ranches are in operation in
this territory. mostly owned by
western men. Upper Wisconsin
is very suitable for the industry.

PETITION FOR AGENT
Farmers Grange and, Wo-
mems Farm Club Petition
County Board for Agricult-
ural Agent.

Two petitions for another coun-
" agent to replace Oscar Gunder-
son, who resigned a couple weeks
ago. has been drawn up and will
be presented to the county board
when they meet next week Thurs
day. One petition comes from
Lincoln Grange, which has a
membership of almost ninety
members. The other is from the
C-S Club, comprising over sixty
farm women.
With these two petitions it is
TO be seen that the farmin g
element and business men want
the services of an agent. They
have seen the good results from
having a man who can assist in
up-to-date farm methods, helping
the man of small means to arrive
at a systematic and economical
point in farm culture, and give
more real benefit than any other
asset a county or community can
have.
The cost to the county is nil.
With the state and the govern
ment bearing the bulk of salary
and all the expenses accruing
from the agents activities in
visiting farmers who seek infor-
nation, a county agents services
to the public in general cannot be
valued in dollars and cents. He
is one of the best assets a county
can have. At present there are
many counties now on the wait
ing list asking the state for a
real live-wire, honest-to-God man
who will impart the snap and
improvement pep to their farm
ing communities. And Villas can
not do other than engage an
agent who will keep us among
the live and progressive counties
of the state.

READY FOR ELECTION
Candidates for Town Offices
Repairing and Building
New Fences for April Con-
test.

To the individual inclined, run
ming for a town office furnishes
him all kinds of anxiety and
amusement. If he is a real, live
bully good fellow, he has very
little opposition-sometimes. If
he is otherwise, he sure has more
trouble than did Lazarus with
his sores. His character is ripped
form top TO bottom, and his fami-
ly tree dug up by the roots and
spread to the four winds. Then
is when he really finds what kind
of a citizen he has been making.
But at that, there is GOO
among the bad; that is, you will
find friends you never dreamed
of, and on the other hand you
soon know your enemies are
lying awake nights with you fore
most in their minds. planning how
To trim" you when April 5th
comes around. Then there are the
real friendly contests among
bosom friends for the same office.
1t is real artistic the methods en-
ployed in campaigning by this
class. Gotta hand it to 'em; they
keep the friendship of their OPP
ponent, but at the same time slip
one over on him that causes his
downfall.
Election will be held April 5th.
At that time women and men
vote upon the same ballot and use
the same ballot box. No discfim;

to announce themselves-and the
fun begins. Two weeks yet until

fumigating, the house caught
fire and was badly damaged.

miles near Duck lake where they

FORMED ASSOCIATION
Business Men and Farmers
Join Hands for Better
County Conditions.

The business men of Eagle
River and the farmers in the sur
rounding territory, in luding
Phelps, Conover, State Line and
Sayner have formed a cooperative
association in the higher sense of
the word-an association where
every man invests a little and at
the end of the year draws out
lot-only with a membership in
this association, he keeps right on
drawing dividends, year after
year.
An application blank will be
mailed every resident of Eastern
Villas county and it is expected
there will be a 100 per cent re-
spouse, or better still you may
call on the secretary of the assoc
iation, Chas. Wiegand, at the
Farmers and Merchants State
Bank and fill in your application.
1t costs the farmer only % cents
TO join and the business man one
dollar. The farmer receives a red
button for every member of his
family and the one just like it,
only a little larger, to wear and
show the public that they are
boosters and members of the East
ern Villas County Land Clearing
Association.
There is not a farmersbut could
use more cleared land and there
is not a merchant but would do
bigger business if the farmer had
this land producing crops. There
is not a doubt but it will pay and
pay everybody big returns on
their investment. The only lOOs-
ers from this contest are not IN
our section but are the ones who
have been shipping in hay and
feed that we can and should be
raising right here. If every farm
er would invest as much in dy-
Mantle this summer as he does in
feed during the winter, we would
soon have a county that looked
like a prairie.
The contests held in some coun
ties have not admitted the big
man to compete for prizes against
the little fellow, but the directors
worked out a scale whereby the
big operator would be discounted
so many points for the use OF
tractors, expensive stump pulling
machinery and hired help. This
will put him right down on
an equal basis with the little fell
low who has to do so much of his
work with elbow grease and de-
termination.
This will be further explained
at the local meetings the last of
March, when Mr.. Fielder of the
land clearing department, will be
here for one week.
1t is going to be a good race
and the handicaps will tied on
right at the start to equalize the
contestants. So you little man
don't be afraid of the big fellow,
you have just as good a chance TO
win the grand prize as he has. 1t
is honest efforts that will be re-
warded. Clean out the unsightly
brush and ram-pikes and take
look at your neighbors. don't be
so isolated. 1t won't be half as
lonesome next winter, if you can
watch the doings of your neigh
Dor, over newly cleared acres.

BOY SCOUTS
WILL ACT

Plans have been formulated by
Scout Executive E. Fl. Justice and the
scout executive committee for the
distribution of toys to the children
of the poor families of the city this
Christmas. The scarcity of employ
ment has brought about a condition
where the children of many families
would be disappointed at Christmas
if such step were not taken.
The plan is to have the boy scouts
repair and brighten up their old toys
and those of their brothers and sis
ters and bring them to scout head
quarters from which place they will be
distributed. The leaders of the Camp
Fire Girls have agreed to cooperate
and the girls will dress up their old
dolls in new clothes for the little
