Why Not Vacation?

You have often heard a man
brag about the fact that he has
not had a vacation for ten, fif-
teen or perhaps twenty years.
However, it is not fact of which
to brag but one of which to be
ashamed for it shows lack of com
mon sense and poor Judgment.
The man who does not take a
vacation over a long period is
bound to slow up in his work.
The change is so gradual that he
nor his associates do not notice
it. Nevertheless, compare his
work over a period of ten years
and you will notice a considerable
change.
You all know the fellows who
plug along year in and year out;
you wonder why they do not get
ahead. They do not get out and
see how others are doing but trot
along at their own gait year after
year.
The result is that their work
and consequently their success
suffers.
The man who takes a good rest
every year, who gets away and
has a complete change, comes
back renewed in vigor and added
zest. His work receives a boost
it can get in no other way. There
fore. be wise and take a vacation
Don't be a grub worm.

AND EAGLE RIVER LOST
But Rhinelander Know They
Went Up Against a Real
Mans Team Sunday.

Rhinelander /; Eagle River o
Fellows, we got licked Sunday
But, even if we did, Rhineland-
er knows that she had both
hands full to running over, and
as the fellow with the alibi usu-
ally remarks: 'If--." II
was no mans game until the last
half of the ninth, and fans GER
tainly had the benefit of the
money spent in witnessing the
contest.
I'm the last half of the fourth
inning Rhinelander scored one on
an error made by Eagle River.
A batted ball over by third was
muffed at the time Post Of
Rhinelander was making a record
run for home with a tally under
his arm, and that is what gave
Rhinelander her sole tally.
From the time Chief Paul
stepped in the box, it was seen
that Rhinelander must use the
best she had in order to clean
out the resort town fellows.
Paul was there with the real
goods and the Rhinelander pitch
er had nothing on him at any
stage of the game. Paul struck
out nine men as against Prop
per's six. Eagle River is credited
with four hits while Rhinelander
pulled off seven, according to the
score book.
Several hundred fans drove
over To Rhinelander where the
game was staged and assisted
the home team in putting across
the brand of pep that almost be-
came 3 winner.
Anyhow, not like Amigo when
they lost, Eagle River done her
darndest and things might have
been different if we hadn't got
licked. Mighty fine game and
worth the try.

was employed as cashier at the
Palmer House in Chicago for ten
months. After leaving high

BOUND OVER TO COURT
Two Clearwater Men Charg-
ed With Burglary of Sum-
mer Home.

Gilbert Olmsted and Earl Korth
of Clearwater Lake, were arrest
ed last week Thursday under a
charge of having broken into the
summer home of G.. ID. Sutton To-
Gated on Cranberry lake east of
Eagle River.
At their preliminary hearing
Friday. both were bound over TO
the June term of circuit court.
Olmstead waived examination and
Korth pleaded not guilty.
1t is claimed that on Dec. 10Th
the Sutton home was entered and
bedding, dresses. clothing and
numerous other articles taken.
A one-horse rig is said to have
been used in carting away the
plumber. Sheriff Gaffney, armed
with n search warrant, found
most of the stolen articles in the
Gilbert Olmsted home at Clear
water. Korth. it is said. had a
pair of shoes claimed 10 have be-
longed 20 Mr.. Sutton and given
him by Olmsted, which were
found in his possession.
Every year summer homes,
closed for the season, have been
entered and contents purloined.
While these cases have not been
numerous, still they have been
too numerous for the welfare of
the community, and there is no
question but that drastic meas
ures will be melted out from now
on 10 those caught breaking into
property in this lake region.

LOOK FOR BIG SEASON
Thousands of Anglers Will
Arrive in Lake Region on
Opening Days.

According to adviees from the
state conservation commission
there will be a greater influx OF
anglers to the lake region ano
its bully good fishing ground:
the first day of the season than
any year prior. This is based
somewhat upon the number OF
nonresident fishing licenses that
have been sold up to this time
Also the commission is a. thority
for the statement that we will
experience the best record of
catches made in years. How this
is figured, it is not stated. Any
how expectations are that every
body will be satisfied.
Reports from throughout the
state indicate that trout are run
ming thru the streams and lakes
of the state in especially large
numbers. Early catches are re-
ported by sportsmen to have been
good, with assurance that the
regular trout waters are well
stocked.
The first of June marks the
opening of the season for pike
pickerel, bass and muskellunge
seasons in most counties of the
state. Thousands are attracted
to the state between that time
and October to enjoy the fishing
for which Wisconsin is known
through the middle west.
The conservation commission
will complete its planting OF
100.0O0,000 pike fingerlings by the
end of this week, the largest re
stocking of this fish carried out
in years. Adverse weather con
ditions are said to have resulted
in a small hatch of pickerel and
of muskeilunge.
Muskellunge fishing should be
good in the northern lakes, ac
cording to Mr.. Webster, who
warns, however, that the state
law prohibits a catch of more
than two of these fish in a day
with a minimum size of "a inch.
es in length and 10 pounds in
weight. This law he said would
be strictly enforced to protect
this most sought for game fish II
Wisconsin.
Restocking of the streams anC
lakes with bass will commence
early in July. The season on thi:
type of fish, which opens next
month, should be better than foI
some time, Mr.. Webster believes

A SERIES OF MEETINGS
Noted Speakers in Eagle Riv-
er June 17th-Interesting
to Farmers Wives.

Better farms and better
homes" are terms we all hear
these days.
When the farmer wants help
anywhere from the ordering of
dynamite and caps to the testing
of soil, he can ask the county
agent to give assistance. When
the farm women want easier
methods in sewing or better ways
of canning vegetables, it is often
more difficult to get help.
However, there are extension
workers in home economies as
well as in agriculture, and they
are sent out by the College of
Agriculture of the state univer-
sity, and they are glad TO give
expert help in home making lines
just as the men give such in
farming or animal husbandry.
This year a number of Villas
county women asked me whether
they could have one of the ex-
tension workers for work in vi
las county. In answer to their
request, series of meetings are
being held in four sections of
the county, with Miss Elizabeth
Miller as their leader. There is
a group near Eagle River; one
near Woodruff; one at Phelps,
and the fourth at Vinegar.
The women who thus receive
training promise TO pass their
learning on to others, for only
through giving the work to 9TH
ers can extension work be well
worth while.
In June, Miss Miller will spend
the week from the 18th to the
18th in the county holding the
third and final meetings Of the
series. Cold pack canning will
be done with these four groups.
A big all-day meeting is now
planned for SATURDAY, June
18th. Many women would sew
more, and do it much more east
ly if they had dress forms to
work on as models. Another of
the extension workers Miss Gladys
Melsche, will demonstrate to ev-
cry woman who wishes to come.
how she can have her own form
at small cost. These dress forms
are made of paper and are light
and easily handled.
Miss Nellie Kedzie Jones, state
leader of home economics extern
sion work, will give one of the
best talks on home making it is
possible to hear. The purpose of
this meeting is to bring a little
of home making to the home
makers of Villas county. They
can do much more after the
workers are gone if they choose
to use their opportunities.
Remember that every woman
is invited to this big meeting at
Eagle River in the town hall on
June 18th, from 1890 to 800.
Bring your picnic lunch with
lyou.
If further information is de
sired, address or send word to me.
