Goodbye "oId Pili"--Good Luck to You
Farewell We little cigarette
I'm off from you forever.
| At first l took you as a pet
You worked" me pretty clever.
| didn't think you'd hurt me much
| To me you were a pleasure
! But now I've found that thinking such
Falls far behind in measure.
There was time when you made me
glad
You soothed my nerves all shaking
Many the time that I felt bad
When l didn't have the making"
/ started in by smoking you
Only once or twice in day;
But as time passed the desire grew
And now I'm wanting you Away.
Farewell! We little cigarette
Our friendship has ended at last
l hope that you will soon forget
With me you're a thing of hte past.
l thought you were a friend OF mine,
That's the reason | stuck to you.
Just now such friendship | decline;
Goodbye "old pill- good luck to you.

Land Clearing Move
Meeting with Success
Land Clearing Campaign Big
Aid in Developing Northern
Counties-ViIas County
Will See Value

Organized land clearing campaigns
have accomplished much in upper
Wisconsin during the last year or
! two. Not only have they resulted in
| bringing hundreds of acres of eut-over
lands into use for agricultural purpos-
es but they have stimulated new in
terest in improved and more econom-
zeal clearing methods
With the single idea of making cut
over lands productive and profitable,
business men and settlers have joined
hands to push back the stump and
brush line. Through the able leader
ship of John Swenehart in charge of
the state land clearing department,
land clearing work has been systema-
tized and organized to such degree
that it is now done with much less ex-e
epense and effort than it was when
each settler tackled his problems in
dividually. Careful investigation by
Mr.. SWenehart and his co-workers has
developed new knowledge concerning
the use of explosives and land clear
ing machinery and new settlers who
do not understand upper Wisconsin
conditions are given direct guidance
in getting their land cleared quickly
and at minimum cost
But perhaps most important of all
is the fact that these organized land
clearing campaigns establish closer
social relationships than was possible
when each settler acted independents
ly, for after all, the lack of sociability
in these cut-oyer areas is the biggest
factor in discouraging settlers from
sticking through" until they are on
their feet financially Mr. Swenehart
is authority for the statement that
nothing prevents the development Of
these cut-over lands quite as much as
this lack of sociability.
Land clearing work in an organized
way is now being conducted on big
ger scale than ever before and al
ready five or six counties have start
ed. or are just about to start county
wide campaigns to get rid of the
stumps and brush. These campaigns
are important as far as the states
farming industry is concerned, but
tssess even~more important as far
as the individual settler is concerned
and he should not hesitate to become
cog in this organized machinery.
Failures on these new lands are pfac-
tically unheard of as long as the work
is attempted conservatively, and for
those who wish to become landowners
bearing in mind that they must be pi-
oneers to do so, there is opportunity
waiting for their thrift and courage.

We look for a close game tonight
with Minocqua Eagle defeated that
team on the Island City floor a few
weeks ago, but they will have to play
harder tonight to duplicate the result.
Minocqua has been playing great
basketball since that first game, judg-
ing from the scores they have piled
up against opposing teams, and the
locals will see stronger team against
them when they clash tonight. OF
course, we expect our boys to win,
but at the same time we look for a
close game, which will call for the
best Eagle has in order to make it a
victory.

Eagle High Winner
Over CrandOn, A=lO
Locals Won Easily from Gran
don High School Team
MinOcqua High Clashes
Here Tonight

Forty-two to ten was the result OF
last Fridays basketball game between
the Crandon and Eagle River high
schools, played here. The game was
not spectacular at all and the local
team failed to show up in the form
they are capable of but they had an
easy win over their opponents. Gran
don has all new men at the game this
season, which fact shows up in their
playing, but they played good game
and took their defeat in the right
spirit. 1t was the second one admins
tered to them by the home boys.
Eagle carried the game into Gran
don territory all evening and despite
their lack of team work, piled up the
biggest score SO far this season. At
times the home team flashed forth in
some neat passing but the game was
ragged for the most part Their pas
sing was not of the BEST which can
undoubtedly be attributed to the poor
lighting in the hall. 1t was hard to see
the ball and both teams suffered I'M
der that handicap. If better lights
were provided it would undoubtedly
improve the teamwork and passing of
the locals and we would like to see
that defect .remedied before the game
with Minocqua here tonight.
CrandOn PLAYED their strongest
game in the first half, getting eight
of their ten points during that period.
Eagle made twenty-five during that
time. In the last half the visitors got
a lone basket to Eagles ten.
The Scoro was.

Advancement Association Organized

Advancement Association Organized
Saturday evening, Feb. IL, the State
Line Advancement Association became
a reality. The bylaws committee read
their report and the bylaws were &C.
copied and adopted. Twenty-one peo-
pie showed their interest il the well
fare of this community by becoming
charter members, and as result a
neat sum is held by the treasurer for
the purpose of carrying out the plans
of this organization to where results
will be materially maifested. Officers
were elected, consisting of the follow
ing:
President ..-................ G. G. Williams
president ....-... Chas. A. Bent
Secretary ............-.C. A. HickOk
Treasurer ............ Mrs. A. Handles
Director .a...........L. w. Barber
Director s..................... Geo. J. ST. Clair
Director ........ ........ W. A. Hoy
Those elected as officers automati-
Co11J UCCOulG LII AAAAAAS
a Board of seven members, who will
handle the administrative affairs Of
the organization Regular meetings
will be held monthly, and the various
topics of benefit to the community
will be handled from time to time.
This kind of an organization has been
long needed and now that it has be-
come a reality the outside world can
expect State Line to take its rlghtful
place in the procession of progressive
towns. Several of the ladies took adj
vantage of the opportunity to become
| members, and to thus show they are
| equally interested No doubt the mem
bership will be increased from time to
time, as there are always some who
are unable to attend meetings at a
given time, and those that were not
in attendance, as well as those who
| have hesitated to join, will form the
nucleus from which to increase the
membership.
