women the most aggressive organizers

Women are not only idealists. but

TAKE CONOVER AUTOS
Auto Thieves Make Specially
of Joy Riding in Conover
Cars-Third One Purloined.

For the third time thieves have
stolen cars belonging to Conover
residents and used them for what
seems to be a plain case of JOY
riding. Should the fellows doing
this get caught they undoubtedly
will find that it is rather more
expensive than hiring a flivver.
Albert Soquist of the town of
COnover, who lives six miles north
west of Conover, was the last vic
tim. Mr.. Soquist's car was taken
from in front of the new bank
building on Wall street in Eagle
River last Tuesday night and it
was not recovered until the follow
ing evening in front of the Farm
ers and Merchants State Bank a
block away.
Mr.. Soquist had been working
at Three Lakes, and had been
transferred Tuesday to Eagle RIv-
er to work. He parked his car in
front of the new bank building
and discovered about eleven o'clock
that evening that it had disap-
peared. Wednesday evening about
seven o'clock his car was discov-
cred in front of the Farmers and
Merchants bank a block north of
where it was stolen. Evidences
show that the car had been run a
great distance, the oil in the en-
CINE case having been replenished
and gas added to the gas tank.
Two other cars belonging to the
Hedeens and Lillunds of the town
of Conover were also taken from
the streets of Eagle River within
the past month or so. Evidently
the same set of thieves are operat-
ing here and an effort is being
made to catch them.

Celebrations of Gllden and
Silver Wedding Anniver-
saries by Villas County
Couples.

Within the past week or so
four Villas county couples will
have celebrated their golden and
silver wedding anniversaries.
The first To celebrate their sill
yer anniversary was Mr.. and Mrs.
W. J. Davies of Eagle River. 1t
was a quiet celebration brought
about by the gathering of a few
intimate friends for the occasion.
The second was that of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. G. Seyfert at their farm
home west of the village. Theirs
also was a silver celebration.
Yesterday Mr.. and Mrs. l.. NJ.
Simmons, residents OF the Big
Bass lake district east of Eagle
River. at the home of their daugh-
ter Mrs. J. II. Bliss at Racine,
were accorded a r0using greeting
by old friends and relatives on
account of their having reached
the golden days of their wedding
fifty years gone by. Mr.. and Mrs.
Simmons left Eagle River last
Saturday in order TO be at the
celebration at Racine. They will
return this week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. J. st. Clair of
Black Oak lake, west of State
Line with the assistance of their
neighboring families in that sec
ton, celebrated their silver ami
versary last week. This celebra-
.tion was rather a large one, the
entire neighborhoOd assisting.
