LEAD IN FOX INDUSTRY
Wisconsin Widely Establish
ed as Leader in Fox
Ranches = Villas County
Owns Four.

The fox farm industry in Wis
consin, says the Milwaukee Journ-
al. Is already widely established.
There are ranches of imposing
Importance in many parts of the
state The industry in Wisconsin,
too. is in the hands of very cam
est, careful, scientific men, bent
upon maintaining this states rep
utation for superiority. Their
ranches are in many instances real
marvels of ingenuity, improved
with each new scientific discov-
cry among growers anywhere.
A few hours spent upon a Wis
consin fox ranch will quickly
awaken the interest of any who
have, until this time. considered
the fox business as a pastime. Ii
Is far from a fad. 1t Is a big bus
mess. Wisconsin, which has won
from an entire world a place of
conceded priority in the dairy in
dustry. is just as determinedly on
the way TO the same leading POI
sition in fox farming.
One of the most important con-
siderations in the choice of a site
for a fox ranch is security from
unusual noises and occurrences;
hence the secluded and sometimes
little known locations of the
states leading ranches. The fox
is by nature timid and nervous.
II can be tanned TO a degree, but
its eXcitable temperament can be
completely overcome only by a
long process of careful breeding
and selection.
There are four fox ranches
within a radius of twelve miles
of Eagle River that are opening
up a well advertised business for
this section of the state. At
Three Lakes is the silver black
fox ranch of F. C. Cheatham,
while north of Eagle River in the
Pioneer lake district are three
owned by c. t. Dryz, 1T. MCGEE
and the Pioneer Silver Black Fox
Ranch.
During the summer season
thousands of visitors pay tribute
10 the beauties of this breed of
foxes by visiting ranches. 1t is
well worth the trip to one of
these ranches, especially if one
has never seen a silver black fox.

MIGHT CHANGE DATES
Deer Season Liable to Be
Changed When Next Leg
islature Convenes-Sea
Opens Nov. 18th.

The open season for deer this
year will run from November 10
to November %, inclusive, accord
ing to a law passed by the last
legislature. Conservation Com
missioner w. +. Barber has sent
out notices appraising hunters of
this change in the law and giving
certain information regarding the
ruling and orders of the conser-
walton commission.
Only one buck, one year or old
er can be shot, under the new
law. Another provision prohibits
the shooting of deer by lights at
night.
The commissioner intimates that
the deer hunting laws will proba-
bly, be changed by the legislature
this winter. Mr.. Barber says that
a conference will be held soon be
tween the commissioners of Mich
igan, Minnesota and Wisconsin TO
see If an agreement cannot be
reached on the open seasons for
important game, so that the laws
in each state will coincide. Re
commentator as a result of this
meeting will be presented to the
legislatures of all three states for
enactment into law.

MUFFED GOOSE DINNER
Eagle River Hunters Run In
to Flock of Geese Near
Rummeles- airy Goose
Killed.

Three hunters, Al. Lucia, Jack
son Bennett and Frank Ohlsen
will not soon forget their exper-
fence of last Sunday up near the
Wisconsin river on the old Steve
Johnson farm Just west of Rum
meles station, made famous by
Hayward and many other resi-
dents of that section.
The three hunters were on their
way to their hunting camp west
of Rummeles, intending TO get it
into shape for the deer season,
and incidentally acquire a few
ducks on their days outing. With
guns. encaSed in the car, they ran
into a flock of a hundred wild
geese resting in one of the fields
on the Johnson farm.
Their shotguns were encased,
and before they could place them
in action the geese prepared for
quick getaway. A strong wind
was blowing from the fellows to
the geese, and it was necessary
for the flock to run quite a dis
lance before taking to the air. In
the meantime, that is, while the
geese were endeavoring to clear
the ground, all three of the fell
lows were chasing them and at
tempting to put their weapons
together and secure their quota
They claim they were but few
rods from the birds, but could not
get into action before they head
ed into the wind and took to the
air.
No Thanksgiving meat for the
three, unless they buy it.

BOYS AND GIRLS CAMPS
New York Men Locating Near
Winchester With Mann
moth Camps for Summer
Season.

What is said to be the largest
camps for boys and girls will be
located the coming season on
Harris lake, some four miles
northeast of Winchester in the
northwestern part of Villas county.
Warren I. Bullock, formerly of
Milwaukee who for years has had
"a summer home near the Bent re-
sort and lamont private home on
West Bay lake west of State
Line, associated with himself re-
Gently Messrs. Sanderson and Bak-
er of New York city, and they
have purchased big holdings on
Harris lake. Last week they COM
pleted the purchase of sixteen
hundred acres, embracing almost
the entire shoreline of Harris
lake and taking in several more
smaller bodies of water in that
section.
Their aim is to establish this
year one Of the largest camps for
boys and girls. during the vaca-
tion period extending from July
TO September. Harris lake region,
so it is claimed, is ideally situat-
ed in a country where recreation
grounds sufficient for the needs
of the camps are to be had, es-
pecially so for the establishment
of permanent and branch camps
during the season. The waters
from this lake flow north to Su-
perior, and through heavily wood
ed and very scenic country.
With the location of these
camps, Villas county will have
within her confines many camps
where the city young man or
woman may spend a vacation I'M
der the tutelage and guidance of
experienced people during the
summer.
Renewed activities in all the
camps in this section are prom
ised for next season. Camp Flam-
beau, the boys camp on Duck lake,
so it is said, will erect many
buildings this spring for the care
of an increased attendance next
year.
The new boys camp on Lake
Emogene and Kentuck will be
in readiness when the season
opens in 1923. Other camps now
established intend making i'm
provements toward the enlarge
ment of their present quarters for
next season.

MINOCQUA ORGANIZED
Boosters of That City Plan
Active Advertising Cam
paign for Lake Region.

At a meeting held last week in
Minocqua of resort men and all
other business men, an organiza-
ton for the promotion of the
lake region interests was effected
and officers elected.
The purpose of this association
is TO see that the Minocqua end
of the lake region is made known
to the public at large, and will
work in conjunction with other
associations of the lake region in
broadcasting advertising for more
summer traffic and the placing
of the biggest playground in the
world on the map.
Mighty good thing that the
various communities are awaken
ing to the facts of more publicity.
Had they carried out this idea
years ago like the Resort Owners
Association, and worked with this
association in a more combined
manner, the lake region of Nor
thern Wisconsin would be where
it should be. But at that, if every
resort and business man will
spend a few of the dollars he
reaps from the summer traffic
and keep it up, there is absolute
ly no reason for a shortage of
sightseers in the years to come.
Visited the Strongs.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Ross and
son of Manawa drove to Eagle
River and spent the weekend
with Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Strong.
On their return they were accom-
panied by Mr.. and Mrs. H. c
Smith, who had been guests al
the Strong home for the past
month.

THEY DON'T TELL 1T ALL
Farmers Returning to Wis
consin From Canada, Fail
to Tell of Misrepresenta-
tons Made Them.

Before the Wisconsin farmer
swallows any of the glowing lit
erature sent out by Canada to
them, it would be well TO investi-
gate some of the facts relative
to that country as prolific
farming section, where, according
to what one reads it is a veritable
land of milk and money" The
Amigo Journal sums the situa-
tion up as follows and the article
is we'll worth studying before a
change is made TO Canada by the
Wisconsin man.
"A few days ago The Journal
contained a story about several
Canadian farmers who had left
that country to seek homes IN
this section. Today in the news
columns the story is told of two
others from that territory to seek
homes here, as they had virtually
starved out there.
They tell a pitiful tale. No
crops since 1915 and when they
do get a crop they are so far from
market that they cannot dispose
of it. One man had three horses
and he couldn't get anything for
them so he gave them away. They
feel that it is virtually a crime
to entice people from America,
particularly Wisconsin, to that
country. The United States sends
more immigrants to Canada than
the rest of the world, but they
don't all stay there. In fact, the
latest statistics show that there
are as many coming back from
Canada as are going there. They
come back poorer, but wiser.
I'VE noticed an advertisement
of the immigration department
of Canada the other day and the
manner in which the resources
were painted could hardly fail to
attract. Lands are cheap, it said,
and if you go back from the rail
lines you can get $50 acres of land
free. The government gives 1t
away. Upon these lands you can
grow, according to this advertise
ment "the best wheat, oats, bar
ley, flax, grass, hay fodder, corn,
and sunfiowers." But that isn't
all. 1t tells you that cattle win
ter in most places without shell
ter; dairying is highly successful.
Perfect climate, attractive social
conditions, good neighbors, tele-
phones. churches, schools, excel
lent markets and shipping faeil-
tiles"
Advertisements of this kind
coming from representatives OF
the government have much weight
with the average reader and 1T Is
little wonder that settlers are at
tracted there. But they don't tell
the story as it really is and only
those who have weathered a few
winters there realize what 1t is.
Drought is the natural condition
and when it rains it is the unus-
ual. They don't figure on crops
only every few years because OF
the drought. But the only trouble
is when they do get a year when
there is sufficient moisture to
raise a crop. a big hail storm
comes along and destroys it. One
of the gentlemen, who just came
from there, told of a hail storm
that was sixty miles in width and
a thousand miles long. Thus IT
would seem that the glowing pic
ture of conditions up there fail

MUST GUARD
AGAINST RUSSIAN
REFU GEES

Berlin. March 22.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. THE United States, as
we'll as central Europe, must be on
guard against the introduction of chol-
era and typhus through the immigra-
tion of Russian refugees, says a warn
ing issued today by DR.. A. Schlesinger,
of the German Red Cross. Hordes OF
these refugees are pouring into Ger
many over the Polish Lithian and Es-
thonian border and many are seeking
passports to America. where they have
relatives and friends who are financ-
ing them for the journey.
Already nearly $4,000 cases exist in
Germany, traced to refugees, and Ger
man immigrants from the Volga re-
gions have been infected. Seventy-five
per cent of the recent arrivals in the
concentration camps were diseased
according to Red Cross statistics.
The minister of health has called
attention to the necessity of vacinat
ing every one arriving from Russia,
declaring that children especially are
carriers OF typhus.

so PER CENT
INCREASE IN
COTTON USED

Washington, March 22.-StockS of
American cotton totalling 100000
bales were consumed by Great Britain,
France, Germany and Italy during the
six months ending January 81, accord
ing to a cablegram just received by
the department of agriculture from its
London representative. This is an
increase of so per cent as compared
with consumption of 1,275,S10 bales
during the preceding six months, and
an increase of more than 100, 900 bales
as compared with consumption OF
1.7S9,302 bales during the six months
ending Jan. 81. 1921.
The increase in Great Britain also
was nearly 100 per cent as compared
with consumption of 520,393 bales dur
ing the six months ending July 81
1921, but department officials pointed
out that the low consumption during
the latter period was in large meas.
ure due to the closing down of the
Lanchasire mills for several weeks on
account of strike of operatives.
The figures were obtained from thc
International Federation of Master
Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers
Association and also showed that on
January. 81 there were 6,420, 900 spin
dies in Great Britain, 100000 in
France. 100000 in Germany and
