COUNTY AGENTS MEET
Convention of County Men
Will be Held at Rhine
lander Next October.

A meeting of all county agents
in the state will be held sometime
next October in Rhinelander, ac-
cording to the following article
taken from last weeks Rhinelan-
der New North:
Oneida county was the first
county in the United States to Sc
cure the services of an agricul-
tural representative. This will be
ten years next October and in OBJ
seyvance of the anniversary it has
been decided to hold a two day
convention of Wisconsin county
agents in Rhinelander early in
that month. The meeting will be
held under the auspices of the
Agricultural Extension bureau of
the University of Wisconsin with
the cooperation of the Rhinelan-
der Advancement association.
In conjunction with the con-
vention it is planned to hold a big
celebration, which would be one
of the most elaborate events of
the kind ever attempted in north
ern Wisconsin. The directors of
the Advancement association have
promised to give the project every
assistance, financially and other
wise. The movement will also be
brought before the attention of
the Oneida county board and, it is
expected, the proper support will
be forthcoming from that organi-
zation.

STUCK IN THE DEEP MUD
Pennington and Plum Lake
Residents Don't Admire
Town of Lincoln-Farming-
ton Mud.

Since the detour from the
Croker school to the Otter Rapids
dam has become impossible to
autos, unless they trail a team of
horses along TO navigate the deep
mud hole, town of Pennington
and Plum Lakers have it in for
this side of the county. Can't
blame 'em much, for when they
SIMPLY have to come to the county
sea., and when it costs each car
from two to six dollars to navi-
gate impossible places in the de-
tour, il certainly works a decided
hardship on the public.
As this is the only highway now
connecting the west side with the
east side, it certainly should be
placed in a condition permitting
of travel until the new bridge
over ,he dam is completed. As
stated last week a few loads Of
gravel. which is within a short
distance of the bad spots, could
be dumped into the holes and the
road made passable.
IL is stated that it will be
another ten days before the bridge
will be open for travel.

ASSOCIATION TO MEET
Fair Officers and Interested
Members Will Hold Ad-
journed Annual Meeting
the 10th.

The adjourned annual meeting
of the Villas County Fair Associa-
tion will be held at the court
house Wednesday evening, April
10Th. at 1880.
Under the constitution the an
nual meeting is slated to be held
each year on the 18th day of
March, but usually at that time
road and weather conditions are
such that no member could very
easily attend. Now with the
weather and roads in fine shape,
there should be no earthly reason
why the court room should not be
packed, as there is important bust
ness TO be taken care of.
The election of officers is a vital
part in order to insure a snappy
fair. This falls fair should be a
hummer, for Villas county can pro-
duce the goods when it comes to
prime exhibits.
A mighty splendid addition
would be that of allowing each
town TO exhibit in its own booth.
Competition would thus be created
TO a fever heat, and the result
would be a fair to be proud of
with the best exhibits obtainable.

REPORT OF VIOLATIONS
Shortage of Wardens Causes
Commission to Ask Sports

The Wisconsin Conservation
Commission has issued a request
that every person interested in
the protection of fish and game
and in the conservation of the
natural resources of the state re-
port to the commission all vio-

of this the Commission asks that
every person in the state interest

proper observation of the laws

THEY VERIFY ALL FACTS
Winnetka Men Back up Sap
Carrying Statements as
Published Last Week.

The fellow who wrote the ar
ticle last week on how to prepare
for the gathering of sap for maple
syrup. certainly did not misrepre-
sent, but surely had the know-how
of the untold labor, sweating,
muttering and aching bones as a
result of his harvesting the sweet
fluid"
The above remarks are purpOrt-
ed to have come from James o.
Ely and Judge Thompson, two
Winnetka gentlemen, who passed
through Eagle River Monday on
their return from a ten days
maple syrup making expedition in
the hardwood near the borders of
Black Oak lake. Evidently these
gentlemen know what it is to the
novice who has been housed up all
winter and whose muscles are soft
and subject to soreness with the
least exertion-not like the big
husky guy who has been out in
the tall uncut, swinging an axe
or rolling logs from daylight until
dark and eating enough muscle
making food to keep two draft
horses in fine fettle.
But at that, Ely and Thompson
made enough syrup to carry their
households through the summer
and at the same time enjoyed a
pre-summer vacation in the Big
Woods region.
Some men are either born lucky
or else have the faculty of passing
the buck to the other fellow when
it comes to stealing a few days
where a man is a real man.

WILL RECEIVE BONUS
Over 1000 Wisconsin Sol
diers Will be Given Pay by
Recent Action of Supreme
Court.

More than 1000 soldiers, voting
residents of Wisconsin, who regis
tered outside the state, will re-
ceive the cash bonus of $40 for
each month in the service as a
result of the decision of the Wis
cOnsin supreme court Tuesday af-
firming the lower court decision
in the case of Files H. Lindemuth,
Superior, against the service re-
cognitiOn board.
Justice Owen declared that ac-
tual voting residence and not
military residence was the basis
on which the claim for bonus
should be based.
The state, in fighting the case
Of Lindemuth, who registered and
was indicted into service from
Michigan. contended that under
the bonus law, only military
residents" or those "for which the
state got credit in furnishing its
quota for the federal draft, I"
could be included under its pro-
visions.
More than 100000 will be need
ed to meet claims that can be
made as a result of the decision.
Payment of these claims, which
average $3.50 for each man, will
deplete the service recognition
fund.
The legislature in special ses-
sion last May voted S1,3OO,O00 of
the service recognition fund TO
the state university for construc-
tion of a state hospital. Addition
al appropriation will be needed to
meet the additional demands.
The decision excludes from
benefits of the bonus law, those
who registered in Wisconsin but
whose actual residence was estab-
lished in some other state. No
payments have been made to these
men.

will be a boon to all who travel from

LAW WILLCURB
THEFT OF CARS
State Auto Association Head
Explains Provisions of
New Act.
TITLE TO BE REQUIRED

For the purpose Of blocking the com
nercialized theft Of automobiles in In
diana, a new law which will be effective
when the Governor prodaims the new
acts early in June, will require every
motor vehicle to be Unregistered with
proof Of ownership, according to state
nent issued by a G. Lupton Of Hartford
City, president OF the Hoosier State
Automobile Association.
This new law is virtually an abstract
Of title law" Mr.. Lupton states. The
owner must prove his ownership with
an affidavit and for this purpose our
association is cooperating with the sec
rotary OF State in selecting registrar
agents in every county Of the State to
make it convenient for owners to COM
pIy with the law A period of ninety
DAYS is allowed after the law is pro-
claimed. A fee Of 81 is required TO
be paid the secretary Of State and the
usual notariaI fee Of . cents is re-
Quired in addition
AUTO THEFT
FUND CREATED.
The 81 fee creates a perpetual auto
theft fund and pays for the printing
and other expense required in putting
the law into effect Fifty cents Of this
fee is for the abstract Of title, or deed,
and so cents is for small, fat, alumni
mum shell having a celuloid face which
will contain a receipt Of registration
This container must be carried in the
drivers compartment Of the car and
remain there, a penalty being provided
for operating a car without this. This
card bears the signature in ink of the
owner.
The certificate OF title itself is to be
retained by the owner in a safe place,
lust as though it we're a deed to a piece
of property. The law specifies fine OF
$500 and two years Imprisonment as a
minimum penaIty for selling an autOmO-
