schooling which Is so essential to the
making of an intelligent citizenship,
and
Future Depends on Education.
"Whereas the experiences Of the
war revealed vast elements of pOpu-
latiOn that are illiterate, physically
unfit or unfamiliar with American
ideals and traditions; and our future
strength and security are much de-
pendent on their education and com
mitment 10 American ideals;
Therefore, /, Warren G. Harding,

PRESIDENT HARDING SEEKS
YEARLY ARMS CONFERENCE
Believed Association of Nations Will
Fail at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Won't Be GrieVed.

Washington, Nov. ga yearly con-
ference of the principal nations of the
world will be the chief good result OF
the armament conference, according TO
the predictions of many statesmen.
II was admitted officially NJ the
White House that such an annual
gathering has been suggested TO Pres
ident Harding by delegates TO the
present conference as the course best
calculated TO insure peace on earth.
No attempt will be made at this par
ley 10 devise a program of reduced
land armament. The size of the exist
ing armies will be left to the discre-
ton of each power without recon-
mendatiOns.
II was indicated that a yearly con-
ference would have the fullest sup
port of the administration.
IL would also be advisable, the adj
miniStration believes, for such meet
ing not 20 be confined TO nations at
tending the armament conference, but
broadened 10 include such nations as
Germany, Roumania and other powers.
Statesmen at the conference have
come to realize that the world is not
yet ready for the idealistic era of
peace based on international good will
rather than on fears inspired by big
armies and navieS.
President Harding is understood to
have told delegates he would not be
storriavadm 81 tho goufaranrp did NOT re-
suit in an association Of nations, but
would be "sorry" if plans were not
made for annual meetings.

UPPER WISCONSIN

Over 80 per cent of upper WiscOn-
sin farmers own their own farms
and homes It is country of land
owners and working men and women.
Cows in upper Wisconsin average a
return of $133 year. With $4,000
milk cows in this cut-over region, the
dairy industry alone is worth $67,881-
900 a year.
Although there are 17651,OOO acres
in upper Wisconsin only 100000
acres are yet in cultivated crops and
tame hays.
In four years county agents have
been instrumental in disposing of
6,25O,OOO pounds of explosives for land
clearing.
OF Wisconsin's root crops, 81 per-
cent grow in the upper 20 counties.
Wisconsin is larger than England
but has only one-fourteenth as many
people.
Only 3.4 per cent of the area OF
upper Wisconsin is more than 10

BROWNIE CALLS !

Brownie, the autOmOtive editor of
the Milwaukee Journal, breezed into
the Review Office Tuesday noon "just
to smell the ink Brownie is on his
official inspection of the Wisconsin
state highway system, an annual ex
ercise of his. This year he is seeing
Wisconsin from Roamer, and if we
can believe the Poor Cuss, his right
hand man who Yields the shovel
when there is any digging to be done,
the car is some roamer They plan on
covering 5000 miles of Wisconsin's
highways in thirty days. When they
were at Eagle River they had made
approximately 5000 miles and by the
time this gets in print they no doubt
will be well over the 5000 mark, ay7
eraging nearly three hundred miles a.
day. Eagle River was on their route
south from Ironwood They got here
at eleyen-thirty and their next stop
was at Rhinelander. The Poor Cuss
looked hungry SO there is no doubt
that Brownie made the next town by
noon. At any rate, he left town with
that intention. Rhinelander is twenty
six miles away. With Brownie at the
wheel of a Roamer, what's twenty-six
miles over the good roads of this
neck O. the woods?

roads of Villas county and the people
living thereon and expresses a great
faith in the future of the county in
the next few years. He authorizes US
to say that it is his desire to be of
aid and service to all of the farmers
of every part of the county and will
call on them as fast as possible. In
the meantime whenever they are in

on him at his office over Ewald Bros.

various farming problems in which
they are mutually interested.

Villas County Farmers Can Get
Picric Acid for Land Clear

Takes Orders

County Agricultural Agent Gibson
informs us that about 100000 TBS.
Of War-salvaged picric acid is avail
able to farmers of Wisconsin for land
clearing purposes. This has been Sc
cured from the federal government
through the efforts of the state uni
versity and the Bureau of Mines.
The acid is now being cartridged
at the university and 200 pounds has
been set as the maximum that one
farmer can obtain. This explosive is
similar in action and handling to the

lowed to purchase it and the price
will be cheaper than dynamite
Farmers who desire to use the ex-
plosive are asked to place their or
ders early with Mr. Gibson so that
this section can secure it's full allot-
ment. Any information regarding it's
use and handling will be gladly fur
nished by the county representative
The picric acid is now stored at
Sparta. An effort will be made to
place it where it will do the most
good, hence the condition that only
actual users can secure it. 1t is

RAND CONCERTS

The Eagle River Band gave the
first Of it's regular weekly summer
concerts at the bandstand in Railroad
park last Thursday night The boys
rendered a varied program OF selec-
lions that pleased and from all COM
ments heard, it is safe to say that
their work is fully appreciated by the
tOwnspeople. A good band is an asset
to any community and Eagle River is
fortunate in having band that can
be considered good. 1t numbers some
good talent among it's membership
and under the leadership OF w. j.
Davies, it is performing public SER
vice by giving weekly open air con-
certs. Since getting their new uni
forms, which they appeared in Mem
orial Day for the first time, the band
presents an appearance that would
do credit to a town good deal lar
ger than Eagle River The organiza
ton has the right spirit. They play
for the pleasure they get out of it
and the belief that good band helps
liven up any community The July
Fourth dance will be given by the
band to raise money to help defray
the expense incurred in purchasiI G
the new uniforms. A good attendance
at that function will net a sum near
ly large enough to wipe out the
whole debt Buy bunch of tickets
for that occasion and in that way
give the boys your support. They are
worthy of it,
