Lyman ]. Cook Died
Tuesday, March lst
Pioneer Resident Of Eagle River
Died Suddenly-Ill Only
Short Time-PrOmin-
ent Citizen

The death of L. ]. Cook occurred
suddenly at his home across the river
Tuesday evening. His passing was
quite unexpected as he had been up
and about that day as usual though
never completely recovered from the
attack of illness that seized him last
fall, and since when he had not been
able to get down town.
Mr.. Cook was one of the pioneers
Of Eagle River and the first merchant
in the town, beginning in a tent near
the Cook residence Later, the firm
OF Cook & Dickinson built the build
ing now occupied by the Review, and
conducted large mercantile business
for several years. After disposing Of
his interest to his partner, he then
opened store at Bryant which burn
ing shortly after he returned to this
village where he had since resided.
He was closely identified with all
of the early history of the town and
files of the Review show him to been
prominent in all that pertained to the
progress of his town and county. He
is mentioned as holding several off,
cial positions with credit to himself
and the community.
He leaves besides his wife the fol-
lowing children: Grant of Milwau-
kee; Jay and Morton of Eagle River;
Paul of Wausau; Mrs. Frank w
Carter, Miss Florence Cook, and an
adopted daughter, Mrs. JOS. Habrich
all of Eagle River to whom the sym
pathy of the community is rendered
in their loss of an affectionate hus-
band and father, while the commune
ty has lost an exemplary citizen
whose loyalty to his friends will not
soon be forgotten.
Funeral services in charge of the
local Masonic lodge of which he was
an old and esteemed member were
held yesterday Afternoon with inter
ment in the cemetery east of town.

by Parent Teaches Association

Those who attended the Parent
Teachers association meeting at the
high school last evening heard one OF
the best programs that organization
presented this. year. Talks on the
Boy Scout and Camp Fire Girls work
we're given by leaders in those move
ments and Rev. w j. Davies gave an
interesting talk on adolescence, that
contained much of value for parents
consideration The membership list
of the association is steadily growing
which shows that the average citizen
is interested in the work of the or
ganization and all that is needed is
such movement like the Parent
Teachers to crystalize the sentiment
and make it practical working
body.

REEKEEPERS MEET

There will be meeting of the bee
keepers of Villas and Oneida counties
at the courthouse in Rhinelander on
March IL. Two sessions will be held
one at ten in the morning and the
other at thirty in the afternoon
Special attention will be given to
the question of marketing the honey
crop and the eradication of bee dis
eases. Wisconsin has the most pro-
gressive foulbrood law. The laws OF
no other state seek to control entirely
the movement of bees and used bee
supplies and perhaps no other state
is working the "area cleanup" meth
cd as extensively as Wisconsin. One
of our most progressive beekeepers
reports that he has lost $4,000 in the
last four years on account OF Amerl-
can foulbrood. The time has come
when no real beekeeper can afford to
remain ignorant concerning this dis
ease
The Importance of the honey crop
in this state can only be realized
when we remember that this years
honey crop is somewhere near five
million pounds. Commercial beekeep-
ing is developing to an unheard of ex-
tent. Glover seed producers are begin
ming to realize that they must have
large numbers of bees in their com
munities to insure pollination of Glow
err
H. L. McMurry, extension apicultur-
list, will be at this meeting to help bee
keepers solve their problems and as
sist them to organize a county asso-
ciaton

NATION High Took
Second Game Friday
MattOOn Ran Away from Eagle
High in First Half but the
Last Period was Even
Game-30 to 16

The speedy Eagle River High bas-
ket ball team dropped another to the
Nation boys at the latter city Friday
night by failing to get into their real
stride during the first half. The final
score was 80 to 16. Nation piled up
big lead in the first half, the score
at the end of that period being 20 to
In the latter half the two teams play
ed even, each getting ten points.
Basket shooting by both teams was
poor Mattoon's percentage was even
lower than the locals in that phase of
the game In spite of the looks of the
score the two teams fought a good
game Eagle couldn't get into action
in the first part of the game, which
accounts for their defeat. The second
half showed some snappy work on
both sides. Eagle came back strong
and NATION had to play their hardest
to hold the locals even.
The points made by the players on
the teams were as follows:

Land Clearing Body
Getting Things Ready
A. c. Fielder of the State Land
Clearing Department Was
Here Tuesday to Get
Contest Started

A. c. Fielder of the State Land
Clearing Bureau met with the direc-
tors of the Villas county contest Tues
day and instructed them in the work
of preparing for an active campaign
that will add hundreds of acres to the
county's tillable area this year.
About the last of March he viii re-
turn and hold meetings in every
neighborhood that will take part in
the contest Moving pictures show
ing every method of land clearing will
be part of the program and will be
of great value to those who have not
had much experience in removing
stumps
The membership fee has been set
at 25 cents and every farmer should
join the organization as members
will be enabled to buy dynamite at
actual cost, big saving over buying
it individually and in small lots. Mr..
Fielder stated that he had attended
fifteen meetings recently in Wash
burn county where every farmer pres
ent signed up as member, insuring
to the campaign in that county the
kind OF cooperation necessary for a
most successful contest. Villas county
farmers and business men should be
just as interested in the matter of
land clearing and if they take hold
with that sort of spirit the end of this
year will see a great increase in the
amount of land ready for cropping
next year.
Membership blanks for joining the
association may be secured at the
Farmers & Merchants State Bank
and also application blanks for dyna-
mite 1t is desired that dynamite or
ders be placed as soon as possible so
that it can be ordered and received
ready for use as soon as weather
conditions permit

Own Your Home;
Time to Build Now
Patronize Your Local Lumber
Dealers-They Know Your
Needs and Can Give K
Real Help

Own your own home and be full
fedged American citizen. A tax-pay
er in this country is considered as
solid citizen and he does not throw
his money away in rents and leases
and have nothing left at the end -o1
the year but receipts to show. what
he did with his money.
The renter of today pays a very
high rent for the privilege OF living
in some other persons property and
it would surprise him if he figured
cut what each years rental would do
toward paying on a home of his own.
The American Of today does not
like the idea OF paying rent and pre-
fers to help build up the country and
pay that same money in taxes and
improvements on his property, and
does not consider himself solid cit
zen until he is a property owner
In building the home it is we'll to
consider the American woman of to-
day, she plays large part in the
building of the home in knowing
what to build, how to build it, and
how to make the most convenient ar
rangements in the home. She lives
there a large part OF the time and it
is to her benefit and health as well
that she have the right light, floors
that can be kept up with little or no
labor on her part, convenient cup
boards and closets, and she knows in
most cases how she wants her home
built before the man has thought much
about it, We must give the women
credit for the homes that are being
built all around us today
The material plays a large part in
the cost of the home and in many
cases the builder does not know what
would be to his advantage 20 use. He
wishes to build as cheaply as he can,
but that often brings embarrassments
for the home when completed may
not look as artistic inside and out as
it was expected to. Then there are
disappointments in the lasting quail
ty of the materials used, your arrange
ments of the openings are perhaps
not right and cannot be remedied
without loss of time and money. The
plans should be made and studied as
to convenience of arrangements, then
the material should be looked into
and the carpenter should know his
business we'll
Your local lumber dealer makes
building a business and he can give
you many points which are bothersome
to any one who is building for the
first and often, the only time. He
will be glad to tell you what is the
most satisfactory material for you to
use, and will give you close esti-
mate on the cost or any building you
may wish to build See him about it.

Hayward's Philosophy
Look Ahead
By g. F. Hayware. Conover. VI

Look Ahead
Have no fear of what's behind you
Gi1e no thought to yesterdays,
Only that they may remind you
OF The error of your ways.
Look ahead for every blessing,
Greet them when they come along,
Looking backward is confessing
You have lived your life all wrong.
Each new day is full of treasures,
You can find them if you try;
Never pass up present pleasures,
Grieving DER the days gone by.
Get some good from each new min
ute,
Sort the best from every hour;
Sip the sweetness there is in it,
AS the Bee does from the flower
Live today, hope for tomorrow,
Better days are just ahead;
Don't awaken grief and sorrow
BY recalling time that's dead.

EPIDEMIC OF
SORE EYES is
FROM WATER
Moline Physicians Fear That Bath
ers Contract Disease While
Swimming.

Is there an epidemic of sore eyes
and ears in Moline caused by
swimming?
That is the question that is puz-
cling physicians and bathers who
are bothered with sore eyes and
ears after swimming. An investi-
cation is being made to determine
If the swimming holes frequented
by Moliners are safe.
The inquiry was started as a re-
suit OF number of reports that
swimmers were suffering from an
infection which was incurred ap-
parently while in bathing. A mum
Der of years ago an epidemic of
this kind appeared in Moline and
every precaution will be taken to
ward off another attack.
DR.. A. E. Kohler, city physician,
has called upon Moline doctors to
aid him in his investigation and
every effort is being made to learn
the truth. The city chemists are
planning to analyze the water in
which the people swim and learn
the nature of the germs which are
causing the trouble.
