Philosophy
Movin' to Town

M0VIn' to own
Come on Ma, the farm is rented,
An we're about to move to town;
Hope we all may be contented,
When we get moved an settled down.
We've worked hard an kept together,
Managed to live an save a bit,
'Gainst spell of rainy weather,
There's sure to be enough of it.
Hate to sell the cows an ponies,
Every one a pet you know;
Me an them was regular cronies,
Most breaks my heart to see EN- go.
Hate to leave each dear old neighbOr,
Know ev'ry one for miles aroun'
Hate to lay down cares and labor,
Fer my part don't care fer town.
But them kids must have some
learnin,'
Sos to fit 'em for real life;
Plowin,' plantin,' milkin,' churnin,'
ALI Tie LulII6S IuCy Will, QCdI WAlC.
They want college education,
With art an science an all such.
Seems to me such combination,
Can't ever mount to very much.
But l reckon how some schoolin'
Couldn't do 'em nary a harm,
So we may as well quit foolin'
Tryin' to keep 'em on the farm.
They are all we have to live fer,
l wouldn't slight 'em if could,
Every cent I've got, I'd give fer
Things to keep 'em.pure and good.
Come on mother, quit yer cryin'
Let's bid the old homestead goodbye,
See them kids, how they are tryin'
To hide, so we can't see 'em cry.
Amt bit of sense in squallin,
1t never brings you no relief;
Say, bgosh 1 b'lieve I'm bawlin'
Ma, let me take your handkerchief.

Rhinelander High Too
Much for Local Boys
High School Basket Ball Team
Met Their Waterloo in Fast
Mix-up, With Score
Sd to Is

Eagle High stepped out OF its class
last Friday evening when its.met the
Rhinelander high school basket ball
team in that city and was defeated by
score of 81 to Is. The Rhinelander
team was speedy and perfectly at
home on their own floor, and it was
evident from the start that the locals
had taken on more than they could
get away with. The neighboring city
has high school team this year that
is playing great ball. To date they
have won every game, and while
Eagle River went over there deter
mined to do their best, the hopes of
victory were not the greatest AS the
score shows. they played all around
cur boys, but at that the game was
not as undressing as the score
would lead one to believe. Several
times Eagle displayed flashes of real
basket ball and if that gait could have
been maintained the final result

it wasn't to be done. The locals were
outclassed and the consistent team
work and speed of their opponents
told the tale 1t was good clean
game all the way through
While no team likes 70 be defeated,
there is much in such defeats as
Rhinelander gave us that is of value
to the losers. BY meeting teams of
that caliber the locals learn lot
about basket ball as it is played by
the larger high schools, and that ex-
perience is worth an occasional game.
The result was to be expected. Rhine
lander has wealth of basket ball
material to draw from and athletic
facilities of the best, two features in
which our own school is lacking. 1t
was a good game despite the big

BOUGHT ERWIN FARM

J. w. Legate Of Chicago purchased
of the Sanborn Company this week
what is known as the Erwin farm
bordering on Meta, Cranberry and
Catfish lakes He will return in about
ten days with his family and take up
farm life with the intention of later
developing it as resort property to
which it is admirably adapted by its
location on the lakes
named. He was formerly an engineer
for the Illinois Brick Co., but decided
that Villas county farm Of his own
was much more preferable and pleas
ant than working for others.

ABOUT INSURANCE

1t is quite probable that some farm
ers have allowed the fire and tornado
insurance policies on their buildings
to lapse either through negligence or
because they have been pinched for
ready money with which to pay their
premiums. We hope that this is not
the case, but records of insurance COM
panies show that large numbers OF
policyholders do fail every year to
meet their premiums and thus make
their insurance void.
The best information also leads us
to believe that relatively few property
owners, and this applies to those who
own city property as well as to farm
ers, are carrying as much insurance
as their investments warrant. With
the rise in values that has taken place
during the past five or six years many
have neglected to take on additional
insurance and in case Of fire or wind
damage they would be forced to sus-
tain more or less heavy and needless
losses. Most farm equipment is worth
practically twice as much as it was in
1914, allowing for any depreciation
that has occurred, of course, and the
man who is really anxious to ade-
Quately protect his property is carry
ing enough additional insurance to
cover this extra valuation. 1t is not
enough to base the amount of policy
upon the original cost to the owner of
the property insured. It's present worth

Legislation curbing the liberties of

Land Clearing Meet
Met with Approval
Villas COunty's Land Clearing
Contest Had Encouraging
Start in Public Meeting
Here Wednesday

A gathering of 225 people composed
of Villas county farmers and their fam
lilies met at the opera house at 1890
Wednesday morning and heard A. c.
Fielder, of the University demonstra-
ton station at bayfield, speak in refer
ence to land clearing and the manner
in which clearing contests are con-
Quoted He illustrated his remarks
with moving pictures showing the var
ious methods in use from hand power
machines to the largest machines in
practical use, the effect of various
grades of dynamite and electrical
blasting devices. 1t being a matter
that concerned every farmer, close at
tention was given, and many gained
information thatwill be of much value
to them in their future land clearing
operations. At noon lunch was served
in the hall to those from out of town
and at one o'clock Mr.. NFiedler again
spoke and used the films to the adj
vantage of those not present in the
morning.
A board of directors, one from each
town that will enter the contest, was
then elected, consisting of the follow
ing;
ConOyer ..... Peter Hedeen
Eagle River ........-...... r. j. Strong
Ia oh
Lincoln .....-....-.... j. G. Seyfert
Plum Lake ..............- F. NJ. Judd
Phelps ...-........... K Martin Thompson
State Line .-...... G. G. Williams
Washington u. VIM. Saltenberger Jr.
The directors are to meet at the
court house at 10 o'clock Saturday to
elect president, secretary and
treasurer, and to arrange for a cam
paign that will add many more acres
to the tillable area of Villas county in
1921. Full details will be published in
the Review as soon as known.
That the idea is meeting with
strong approval from the farmers was
shown by their unanimous vote to
enter the contest as outlined.
The C-S Club originated the move
ment and the club is entitled to much
credit for bringing it forward. There
is no doubt but that it will be liberal
ly supported by every business man
to whom added production of farm
products means an increased business
of sales in his lines.

is the valuation to be considered.
Adequate insurance is a protection
that no property holder can afford to
be without A man may carry insur-
ance a life time and never have his
buildings damaged in any way, but
there are few of us who are so fortu-
nate and without the protection that
insurance offers considerable part of
our savings may easily be wiped out in
very short time. No man is fair to
himself, not to mention his family, if
he does not avail himself of enough
insurance to cover a large part of the
losses that may occur to his buildings
as a result of fire or wind.
See that you are adequately insured
and do not allow your policies to lapse.

New EEOtel LINCOLN

The strongest desire in the human breast is
TO BE AT HOME. But people must move about.
Human progress demands travel for business,
for education, for pleasure. Yet every traveller
YEARNS to be at home The old home spirit can
not be denied. The world will build a shrine to
the man who designs a cure for HOMESICK-
NESS.
Through circumstances, not every man is
privileged to sit before his own hearth. For him
came the ancient inn, the colonial tavern, the
modern hotel (impersonally characterized by
Noah Webster as "a house for the entertainment
of travelers"O.
Running hotel is a HUMAN BUSINESS.
The old-time innkeeper welcomed his guests as
they stepped from the jolting stage COACH and
pledged their return with trimming stirrup-
cup. Not until the modern hotel proprietor in
stills the same magic warmth and friendship in
every one of his assistants does his hotel become
a HOME for the stranger who enters his doors.
To such true host comes sure reward. he
must soon either turn away his friends, or build
larger house. WE HAVE BUILT.
Today the newer, greater HOTEL LINCOLN
faces Lincoln Square, at Washington and Illinois
streets-the heart of Indianapols-midWay be-
tween the Union Station and the Interurban
Terminal, but a few steps from the larger stores,
wholesale houses, and office buildings, while
street cars to the outlying factories pass the door,
HOTEL LlNCOLN Is built on historic ground.
In Lincoln Square, Abraham Lincoln in 1861 on
his way to Washington to assume the Presidency,
addressed the citizens Of Indianapolis. And in
naming Hotel Lincoln we assume the respon-
sibility of measuring our relations with our
guests by his kindness, his sincerity of purpose
his desire for simple, homely service.
Five years ago we believed the needs of grow
ing Indianapolis deserved a good hotel. Even
then we planned fifteen-story building, modern
in every respect and the largest and finest hotel
in the city. Construction stopped at the eighth
floor when the war came first in every mans
work. But the plans were only delayed.
And now the greater HOTEL LINCOLN is
ready to welcome you, proud of its beauty and
convenience, but prouder that it represents the
continued friendship of the thousands who have
made it. from time to time, their HOME in IN
dianapolis
To the residents Of Indianapolis, who, In In
creasing numbers, have delighted in the good
meals interesting music and friendly atmosphere
of HOTEL LINCOLN, as we'll as to the travelling
public we extend an invitation to view the new
