Thinking Of Building?
Your on Right Road
There's Pleasure and Profit in
Owning Your Own Home
Ask the Renter and
Then Build

Surely you all know that a floating
population does nothing to help build
UP a city, and it is not that kind of
people that city looks to for support.
They come and go and anything is
good enough for them to go into, as
long as it is a shelter of some kind,
like the sparrow in that they take
what they can get, and if it belongs to
some one else.
The sparrow will take the nest be-
Ionging to any other bird for its own
use am we know there is bound to be
fight for we know that whichever
bird once owned that particular nest,
he will come back to it year after year.
1t is thus with a human being he al
ways longs for the home that he knew
in his young days, as far back as he
can remember. So do not do as the
sparroWs do
1t does a town no good to have a
lot CT tumble down shacks as they
However, they are usually occupied,
and generally by the drifting popula-
ton. They do not care what they live
in or if no repairs are made on them
as they do not expect to spend their
lives in them All of us are not of
that class and some of us look forward
to. helping our town in beautifying
our homes, premises and streets. We
do have the Gypsy instinct of going
away for awhile and leaving things to
care for themselves but we always
like to feel that we can go home when
through roaming.
There are very few of us that do
not like to see beautiful things and
you cannot always do that if using
some one else's property, where if
ing in the way of providing modern
conveniences, to help keep up the ap-
pearance of the place and the renter
can not make the place look as he
would like to have it look. So why

Have you ever had the kiddies say,
Gee! But the neIghbors haye it so
nice in their house and yard That
stirs up a new feealng and you begin
thinking that you will go the neigh
Dor one better and build just as you
had always intended to build some
day when you could, that ideal home
that you had planned in your mind
and for the one that will take the
most pride in having house of her
her own and as she wants it.
There are many things to consider
in building, your money value, taxes,
insurance and the like but if the
above things are high today, it will
not always stay that way and there
are ways of looking into these high
things that will bring them down
to where they belong. However,
with the prices of building materials
where they are today, it will be to
any ones advantage to look into the
proposition of building and see what
it can be done for The local dealers
in the building line make that study
and they are willing to help you de-
eide in the way Of material, for you
have the picture of what you want to
build in your mind and to put it on
paper with approximate cost figures
is easy for those who are
doing that kind Of work all the cine
and you only build your ideal home
once.
Help your town by building that
home.

Local Teams Ran up
Big Scores at Finish
High School Basketball Season
Closed with Victories Over
BirnamwOOd Seconds
and Fish Team

AS fitting climax to successful
season in high school athletics Eagle
River High closed it's schedule Friday
night with two victories that netted
a great many more points to the sum
total of their gains this year. There
were two games played: One be-
tween Birnamwood second team and
the Eagle River second team, won by
the latter by the score of "a to 8, and
one between a Rhinelander school
team and Eagle High, also won by the
latter by the score of Sc to Is.
The second team game was the
first on the bill and it was a poppy
one. The midgets mixed it right and
left and had speed to burn. Their
team work was ragged, which is to be
expected from teams that have not
played as much as the older boys, but
they are the material from which
first teams are made and they made
a good showing. Our second team
was heavier than Birnamwood and
displayed better teamwork, which ac-
counts for their frequent scoring
LeClair, one of the smallest Birnam-
wood boys, played the star game for
the visitors, making six out Of their
nine points.

MOntayille Flowers
on Japanese Question
Lecturer Here Monday Gave In
teresting Facts on Japan
csc QuestiOn-Navarre
Trio April End

Montaville Flowers, a lyceum speak
er of national prominence, appeared
at the opera house Monday evening
as the third number of the lyceum
course being put on here this season.
Mr. Flowers is one of the best speak
ers of the day His delivery is elo-
quent and he had not the slightest
difficulty in holding the attention of
his audience on the subject of the
Japanese question, which he chose
for his program here. While native
of the east, Mr. Flowers has spent
many years in the west where he has
extensive business interests, which
fact enables him to talk intelligently
on the Japanese question. He sees
menace in that problem which east
ern people are too apt to overlook,
and being one of the foremost eco
nomists of the present age, his study
OF the matter can be taken as found
ed on facts. Being the author of
several books on the subject, one of
which is used as a text book for the
United States secret service, he was
able to give his hearers many inter-
esting facts on the case not other
wise obtainable. While not as large
an audience turned out for him as his
prominence would warrant, those that
did hear him had the pleasure of lis
tening to a masterful address, and if
the committee secures him for a fu-
ture engagement it goes without say
ing that his house will be filed.
Saturday, April 2, the concluding
number of the course will be given.
On that date the Navarro Trio will be
presented. This promises to be
popular program. The Navarro Trio
is an ideal combination Of music and
entertainment The Instrumentation
is the most perfect small orchestra
violin, cello and piano Vocally there
are two sopranos and q contralto, and
two of the company are excellent
readers. The music is nearly all of
the better class, including all that is
interesting and appealing. Miss Do
rothy Ann Condit is violinist-extra-
ordinarN and also is well-schooled
reader. Miss Emogene Combes is
cellist and contraltp, and plays the
piano. Miss Bloomquist is the so

A CORRECTION

Last week an item appeared in the
Review stating that Bert Goodenow
had moved back to town after spend
ing the winter at the Dryz Fox farm.
Monday, Mr.. Dryz called at the office
and asked the statement be corrected
as Mr.. Goodenow was only in his en-
ploy for short time last fall. We
make the correction gladly as it was
entirely our mistake in assuming that
Bert put in the winter there as we
knew that was his objective point
when he moved away from town last
fall.

African Seeds.

Sixteen hundred of seeds and plants
of African fruits, vegetables, grains
and flowers not common to this coun-
try have been sent to the United
States Department of Agriculture for
q test as To their adaptabiity to Amer
lean soil as Il result of a trip made by
DR.. III. l.. ShantZ, us agricultural eX-
plOrer. Dr. ShantZ accompanied the
standardization expedition which
made q tour of interior Africa from
Cape Town TO Cairo, penetrating the
Orange Free State, the Transvaal, the
Kongo East Africa. the Sudan and
Egypt, with side trips to other parts
of the continent and adjacent islands.
Among the many new crops, one
that is viewed with interest is IA
gourd two feet long, which contains
two gallons of succulent seed about
the size of an almond. The meat of
these seeds resembles that of the but
ternut in taste, and, in addition to
their possibilities as nut substitute,
they are rich in oil. Many new kaffir
cOrns and sOrghums, as well as grasses,
suitable for the semiarid West, as well
as the pine lands of the South, some
excellent new mangoes, number of
oil plants, some dry-land rice, and
large number Of grains and grasses
are among the specimens. The depart
inent has found that several crops
which flourish in central Africa are
adapted to the southern parts of the
southwestern United States. The
Acknowledgment cotton and Sudan
grass are among the noteworthy ac-
QUESTIONS as result OF previous eX-
petitions.

Giant EeIs.

II is said there are cells no one can
land. Some years ago giant conger
was caught i'm shallow water off the
shores OF England. 1t measured feet
s inches in length and weighed 14S
pounds. Congers half that size have
been known to bite a mans hand in
two and to have driven their teeth
through the blade of an oar.
In 1913 Kakanamsku, the champion
swimmer Of Honolulu, was attacked
by giant eel, which dragged him
under water, and held him there for
nearly two minutes. He escaped at
last, but at the cost of finger from
his right hand.
Eels attain an immense size in the
rivers Of New Zealand and have been
known to attack bathers. In fact,
many cases Of drowning have beef
proven to be where cells have dragged
the bathers beneath the surface of
the water.

1t appears that as price of her
assistance in the war for civilization,
Japan, in the character of Shylock,
exacting her pound of flesh, extorted
from France and England. then in
extreme peril. mandate over the
little island of zap in the Pacific
Ocean. She did this because the
great cable lines communicating with
the Orient center there, and her con-
troll Of them in time of war would be
matter of immense advantage. 1t
was a hard bargain, driven by ma
ton hard enough to despoil China, an
ally in the war, of her finest province
=Shantung-which coolly stepped
into the shoes of Germany as a
usurper in that province. While we
are treating this particular phase of
the matter, we may say that the an
alogy between the dsspotic and ruth
less imperialistic government of Ger
many and that Of Japan is borne out
in many particulars, and as Japan is
now about the only government of
that kind left upon the face of this
earth she might well profit by Ger
many's example. If not, she must
presently discern the fateful hand
writing upon the wall. But the
United States was not a party to the
arrangement concerning the island of
zap. and having interests there Of
vital Importance, our government,
under the able leadership of Presi-
dent Harding and Secretary of State
Hughes, has declined to abide by that
arrangement. Japan is insisting that
she will maintain her prerogatives
and the situation is such as may easily
lead to war. In this emergency, we
believe our people will stand solidly
behind their government. 1t is
question of maintaining our just
rights or assuming the station and
accepting the portion of a nation of
poltroons. We came to the assist
ance of civilization in the World War
without money and without price.
Possibly we did no more than our
duty, but we did that and did it in
way that must ever be source of
honest pride to every loyal, patriotic
American heart, especially when con-
trasted with the devious and selfish
policies of such as the Japanese.

The election on Tuesday passed Off
with but little excitement. though both
parties were very busy and did their
best for their candidates. We have not
the full returns from the county and
have strong hopes that Farewell is
elected governor.
We are truly gratified to witness the
improvements that have been made in
the appearance of the burying ground.
The brush and larger growth of shrub
berry as was unnecessary to beautify
the place have been taken out, and
such as are permitted to stand are nice
ly trimmed. Gravel walks across the
ground are being made and certainly it
begins to look as such a sacred spot
should. Much credit is due to Samuel
Toay, hsq., under whose superintend-
ance the work has been performed
