Villas COUNTYS FAIR
September 1914 Big Days in
History of County-Three
Weeks Away.

Villas county's big event will go
into history after the third week
in September. On September 18th
and 14th-two big days-the an
nual fair for Villas county people
and nearby counties, will be staged
at Eagle River, the county capitol
of the liveliest little county in the
state.
The premium list will be sent
out this week by the officers of
the association, and it Is replete
with splendid cash premiums. The
premiums this year are large
enough for exhibitors TO spend
some effort in preparing exhibits
There Is cash enough TO pay the
herdsman to bring his prize-win-
ming cattle and exhibit with his
neighbors. Make the cattle eXhib-
1T a big one, something to cause
the visitor to realize that we have
Just as good and Just as many
as any county larger than Villas.
Personal pride in your community
and in your county should be an
incentive to see that the best ex-
hibit you can produce IS on DIS
play.
This year the fruit exhibit will
be extra large, according to state
ments made at this time. The
amount and the quality of fruit
grown in Villas county Is astOnish-
ing. especially TO the down-state
visitor who imagines this to be
a veritable frozen Northland."
Numerous attractions for the
pleasures of the crowd will be
staged during the two days. This
list of attractions will be publish
ed as soon as they are secured.
In the meantime, keep an eye
on the announcements which will
be made each week prior to the
fair.

Vacation al Planting Ground.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Lueck and
children Of Amigo were guests of
Eagle River friends last Saturday,
driving up from their summer
home on Planting Ground lake
east of Clearwater Lake station.
Mr.. Lueek is Amigos leading
druggist and optometrist, and be-
sides having all those honors is
one bully good scout-at least he
has shown it by being foremost
in any fight for the betterment
of conditions in his home town,
and also in landing the praises of
northern Wisconsin as a pleasure
ground and agriculture section.
The saying about Mr.. Lueck is
that Get him started and he is
a whale of a fellow 10 pull
until he completes what he start
ed" is sure right, and Amigo is
certainly better for claiming that
family as one of its big assets.
Mighty sorry he isn't in Eagle
River as one Of its citizens.

Old Timer Visited Here.

Many of the old-time citizens
will remember Charles Wismer
when he was an Eagle River citi-
zen way back when logging days
were prime, and calked boots and
fist fights were the ruling passion
of the lumberjack and average
citizen of this north woods. Mr..
Wismer was here the latter part
of last week, coming from his
home at Britton, South Dakota.
1t had been nearly twenty years
since he had left Eagle River for
other fields. When here he was
bookkeeper for the Gerry Lumber
company, then in operation on the
grounds now occupied by the
Observation-Disclosures Lumber COM
pany. He stated that it looked
mighty queer to have left twenty
years AGO when the timber was all
gone, and return and find a man.
moth mill in operation on timber
sufficient for a twenty year cut.
If some of the old Griffith gang
of forest ''preservers" was to hear
of this there would possibly be a
resumption of the old forestry
fight like unto what we had eight
or ten years ago.

SPEED CRAFTS TO RACE
Said That Sundays Event to
Be Called Again-Speeder
Goes 3712 Miles Per Hour.

Inc record set SUNDAY at inc
second annual regatta of the Eagle
Waters Speed Craft Club was bet
ter than thirty-seven miles per
hour, being made by the Pee Jay,
owned by p. J. Schaefer, and by
the Lady Billie, owned by c. II.
Foster. Last years record was
31.S, and it is said today that if
another race is scheduled within
short time that the Sunday re-
cord will be slightly lowered. How
ever that may be, the race between
Verbejoe, Pee Jay and Lady Billie
stirred sluggish blood to the
breaking point from start to fin
ish.
Both the Pee Jay and Lady Bill
lie are new crafts on the Eagle
waters this year. Last year Mr..
Schaefer's first craft developed
|31.S miles per hour in the race run
July 18th when the Wisconsin
Press Association members made
their tour of the lakes. This set
record. But there were whis-
pers of many other faster crafts
being placed upon the waters of
this chain during the early part of
1922, and another Pee Jay" was
shipped here. Shortly after its ar
rival c. II. Foster of Chicago, own
er of a summer home on Gran
berry, launched the Lady Billie at
Eagle River. Several others added
new engines and new crafts and 1t
was thought that several dark
horses would appear when the re-
gatta was called for Sunday last.
Engine trouble and other troubles
cut down what was TO have been
a race between six, speed crafts
in the major event. Trial runs
were made last week, and time
taken and handicaps given. AT
the time of the race but three
were in readiness.
The first boat to start was Yer
BEIGE, owned by f.. w. Ellis. Yer
bejoe was in the major event last
year, and was given a handicap
over Pee Jay and Lady Billie.
Hers was a stride when once
caught was kept through the five
taps. Pee Jay was next to start,
having been given small handi-
cap over Lady Billie.
When the two latter boats were
under way it set the crowd on edge
for it then proved a "hellforlea-
Their" contest with the Verbejoe
as balancer. Five laps of about
five and a half miles each was
the length to be run, and the
best time made in any lap was
S.l4 by the Pee Jay. Lady Billie
settled down to straight racing,
while the Pee Jay cut corners
with a pivot turn, bringing the
crowd to its feet when ever
buoy was reached.
Ii was a beautiful exhibit of
watercraft sport and the three
speed crafts made a perfect pic
ture with its setting of woods and
water line.
The official time made was 3712
miles per hour. Pee Jay was
awarded the prize. Lady Billie
given second and Verbejoe third.
1t is said that there is a posi-
bility of having another race stag
ed shortly between the Pee Jay
and Lady Billie, both starting at
scratch. 1t this is done, it will
be well worth the time seeing.
The contest between seven crafts
of a lower mileage, was called be-
fore the big event. A peculiar
point found in the try-out to de-
termine the speed by the judges
the day before the race, was the
fact that Miss Mosquito, owned
by Herman, and Sunray by Seng,
made the same time to a second
over the course. When this was

Tanlac, Natures Medicine, is won
derful Reconstructive Tonic and body
builder. II is purely vegetable and
is made from the most beneficial roots,
herbs and barks known to science.
The medicinal properties are readily
taken up by the system, thereby aiding
digestion, stimulating the appetite and
assisting the stomach in converting
the food into nOurishing elements that
build up tissue and nerve strength.
There is probably not single portion
of the body that is not benefited by the
helpful action of this remarkable medi-
cine.
The system, besides being purified and
strengthened by Tanlac, is toned up
and invigorated. 1t quickly overcomes
indigestion, non-assimIation of the
food, nervousness, headache, backache,
| general debility and many other COM
plants that are so common to the
thousands of half sick, depressed men
and women.
Tanlac was designed primarily for
the correction of disorders of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels. At the same

of the most prevalent, but is one OF
the most difficult to treat of all present.
day diseases, and has for years baffied
the skill of leading specialists. 1t is
almost always followed by complica-
ton OF diseases. One of the first is torpid
liver with biliousness, followed by head
aches, coated tongue, dizzy spells,
pain in the back, palpitation of the heart,
and other distressing symptoms. Soon
other organs of the body become in
volved and various diseases develop
and become chronic if not checked in
time. The first symptoms of stomach
disorder, such as gas, sourness, consti-
patton, foul breath, fullness after eating,
pains in the stomach, headache, tired
out feeling, lack of energy, should
be the signal for prompt and decisive
action.
Tens of thousands of men and women,
of all ages and in all walks of life, afflicted
with stomach and liver disorders, some
of them of long standing, as well as
thousands of weak, thin, nervous men
and women apparently on the verge of
collapse, have testified publicly that
they have been fully re stored to the
enjoyment of perfect health by taking
Tanlac. Ten of thousands have not
only been relieved of the most obstinate
forms of dyspepsia and indigestion by
Tanlac after other remedies had failed,
but many of them have reported a re-
markable and rapid increase in weight
along with their return to normal health
and strength.
That is the reason Tanlao continues
year after year, to have the largest
sale of any medicine of its kind in the
world.
Tanlac is sold in Wilmington by
| Eckerd's Drug Stores.
