Bank Your Money.

Last week we were called upon
TO advertise the fact that one of
our citizens had lost n pocket
book containing a large amount
of money-up in the hundreds.
Ii seems passing strange that a
man should carry on his person
day after day, so large an amount
of cash when there are two banks
in town. One instance of loss of
money would not excite comment
but YOU and | hear of a number
of such happenings and we won
der how people can be so careless
and so foolish. No one ever lost
a cent after depositing it in either
one of our local banks. You may
lose check book, bank book and
other records but you will yet
have your money. The loss of
two or three hundred dollars in
cash would be a knockout" blow
to most of us. and there is no sane
excuse for it with banks so handy
to Phillips Times.

Boy Scout Movement for
Funds for Local Organiza-
ton Meeting Success.

That the public is taking an
interest in the Boy Scout move
ment is evidenced by the an
nouncement that Mrs. w. II.
Bonner and Mrs. August We'll
have undertaken to put on a bene-
fit movie for funds for the Scouts
to help them buy uniforms in
time for Memorial day.
J. J. Roderick has. generously
donated his movie house, Dream
land, for the occasion, and the
ladies have secured an excellent
feature and comedy for Tuesday,
March Sth.
Tickets are now on sale, and
everyone is urged to buy to the
limit.
The money will be used for the
Scouts and all donations will be
gladly accepted.
Buy all the tickets you can-the
admission will be nominal, but
don't stop at that. Anythin g
extra you can afford will be CRATE
fully received for the good cause.
Il is not a church affair. The Boy
Scout Movement is broader than

GEORGE MAKES A VISIT
Rev. C. II. Waters of Wash
burn Visits Eagle River
This Week.-Mrs. Big Bunch
of Friends.

Rev. George Waters, now pastor
of the Congregational church at
WashbGrn, but formerly pastor of
Eagle Rivers church, came here
Monday for a few days visit. Mr..
Waters has been at Washburn for
a couple years past, going from
Eagle River 10 that city.
During the war it was a popular
saying among the people in this
county to let George do it And
George generally did, giving salts
faction where it was necessary,
and landing upon the ungodly
when the occasion demanded. His
war work was that of a real
American and he followed his
duties as an American regardless
of time and money, and whether
his actions were in accord with
that element who were seeking
the destruction of the Unite 4
States.
He did his work without gloves,
and did it well. No day or night
were too stormy for the Reverend
George to stay from a patriotic
meeting. He was there and YOU
knew it before the meeting was
ended.
And even at that the Rev.
George Waters of Washburn has
more real friends in this section
than is generally allotted to one
individual, and he certainly knows
II by the time his visit ends this
week.

Three Lakes has been extremely
fortunate in its choice of it's prin-
cipal for its eleven grade school
this year. Not only does this prin-
cipal fill the requirements of an
up-to-date teacher but also is a
community leader of a highly
commendable spirit.
Her name is Elizabeth QuInell,
and her age-well, she nearly told
the interviewer even that, but it
is fair for a lady to withhold one
secret from the curious reading
public.
Miss Quinell is a Neillsville,
Wis, girl and is a graduate of
Neillsville High and Stevens Point
Normal schools, with a summer
course at the University of Wis
consin for good measure. During
her six years of teaching she has
been principal at each schol.
Miss Quinell was the represen-
tative of the Eleventh Congress
ional district on the group of
teachers given a tour of the bat
tlefields of France and Belgium
by the Milwaukee Journal last
summer. She was thus chosen by
popular vote. Her report of this
tour, which also took the party to
Switzerland, England, Scotland
and Canada and occupied nearly
two months, is worth listening TO.
This lady goes around Three
Lakes with her eyes wide open.
When she sees a thing needed
she starts the machinery to get it.
The first start in this direction
was to give lunch, cafeteria style.
to voters on election day; the
proceeds paid off a balance on the
school Edison. Next, she saw the
need of an organization of uplift
for girls of high school age which
would direct their social and in
dustrial proclivities and the re-
suit was a camp of Camp Fire
Girls. Now having seen the girls
cared for, her mind naturally saw
the situation among the boys and
in a few weeks a group of Is boys
was prepared to take the Tender
foot degree in Boy Scout work.
This Boy Scout organization was
ushered into being at a Father
end Boy" dinner staged by Miss
Quinell and the Camp Fire Girls.
A couple of weeks ago a Junior
Camp Fire Girls group was organ
lied, and started its activities
with a rOusing basket social.
A stunt looked forward to with
interest is the hike of the Camp
Fire Girls to Appleton VIII n
school lets out. The plan includes
a visit to Lawrence College to at
tend commencement exercises and
be entertained enroute by other
camps. The hike will occupy two
weeks.
These organizations have had
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1921-03-02

the financial backing of the Three
Lakes folks, who have literally
bought ice cream, lunches. bas-
kets. etc, to provide the material
dynamic to boost the good work.
Miss Quinell became responsible
for a Lecture Course at Three
Lakes which has given fine salts
faction. The patronage of the
past numbers prove that her
judgment in this matter was we'll
placed. She has been superinten-
dent of the Sunday School of the
Congregational church since last
fall A contest between Red and
Blue sides in the Sunday School
has doubled the attendance.
A progressive and aggressive
person like Miss Quinell, means
much TO any community.

WHY NOT EAGLE RIVER
What is Good for Other Com
munities Should Be Good
for Us-Get AT it and Do
IL.

Cities have come to be unnat-
ural. They cause unnatural un-
rest in mems minds. They have
created a condition which is rob-
bling agriculture of its man-pOwer.
robbing the worker and the manu-
facturer of normal human con-
ditions, and have created the spec
tacle of the farmers production
having to be transported TO these
great centers TO be treated or
milled or manipulated before they
are transported back again to the
smaller communities TO be sold
back to the farmer, These con-
ditions are artificial.
I'VE plan, and are already put
ting the idea into operation, to
utilize the water-pOwer of small
streams throughout the country
for making various parts of our
machinery, both for tractor and
car. During the next few years
we will enter many of the smaller
towns and even villages where the
townspeople and even the farmer.
il he cares to. may have all the
work wanted. This work for the
farmer will come when he is not
busy on his farm, and So will add
to his earnings
"One of the first demonstra-
tions of our plan is being made i'm
a town of 1900 inhabitants, TWEEN
~ miles from Detroit. Our fac
tory there employs $50 men in the
exclusive manufacture of valves
which we use both for the Ford
car and tractor. The transpOrta-
ton is by motOr-truck, on good
roads, the ideal system of short
haul transportation for railroad
shipment farther on. The town
needs a sewer system, which the
company is prepared TO build, IN
cooperation with the tOwnspeOple,
so that there will be no need of
the town laundering in debt fer
years under heavy issues of bonds
"a long standing evil from which
no one profits but parasitic non
producers, such as the cities are
filled with. This will be our sys-
tenn in every small community in
which we locate. Improvements
need not be limited to sewers.
Our plan is not to be confined
TO one portion of the United
States, but will extend throughout
the country. We will probably
not limit it to the United States.
England offers many oppOrtuni-
ties of this kind.
The idea in the smaller COM
munity is to get at it and do it.
These farming communities need
their man-power, and improved
mechanical farming methods will
eventually give men time to think
of other things than being held

Virgin Islands Export Sugar.

The most important agriculture in
the Virgin islands is sugar of which
approximately ten thousand tons was
exported IN 1919. In 1919 the govern
ment succeeded in opening the Porto
Rican market 10 cattle from the Is
lands. About $4,000 worth Of cattle
were exported and II is thought that
the catte-raislng industry will evenlu-
ely become an important one. Expor.

was prohibited on the ground that the
