WON FROM ELCHO

The lack of practice during the holt
days was evident in the basket bali
game between Elcho and Eagle River
Highs last Friday night. 1t was an
easy win for the locals, in spite of
their bad form, the score being rs to
z, but at that the contest lacked the
pep and snap that good team work
brings Elcho is playing it's first year
of basketball, and necessarily hasn't
as strong a team as other schools
which have been in the game for years
however, what they lacked in expert
ence they made UP for in playing.
They're a game set of youngsters
who'll fight hard uphill against strong
er teams. 1t was their first meeting
with the locals and from their sports
manlike conduct it is safe to assume
that they will be on our regular sched-
ule in the future.
Since the Elcho game the locals
have been getting back into shape for
the Crandon game which will be play
ed in that city next Friday night, jan
uary 20. Eagle has one victory over
Crandon this season, 81 to IL, but
that was the first game played, and
since then both teams have made
great improvement.
If the locals display the team work
they are capable Of, they should bring
home the big end of the score, but its
going to be hard fought battle which
ever way it goes.

AID TO FARMER WIFE
Is BADGER STATE AIM
The Home Demonstration Agent
Can Show Women Folk How
They Can Make Life
More Livable

Wisconsin farms will be livable,
homelike places when the state pays
as much attention to the home demon
stration work as is now paid to the
county agents of agriculture. For
years the county agent idea grew
slowly. Even now, a county board oc-
casionally turns down the request for
the small amount of funds required.
However, the county agent has now
become a fixed, necessary institution
in improving the farms of the country.
Probably the same probationary
period viii be required to make the
home demonstration agent an accept
ed fact. What the county agent is to
the farmer, the home demonstration
agent is to the farmers wife,
In the state of Washington a group
of counties is making a determined
attack on the malnutrition of farm
children, through assistance of home
demonstration agents. Demonstrations
of how to bring children up to weight,
how to provide hot lunches at school,
how to avoid tea and coffee, how to
avoid late hours and lack of sleep,
are taught clearly to the end that
farm children may be healthful. There
is no greater problem on the farm
than that unless it be health of the
adults on the farm.
Wool has been drug on the market
Now the farm women are being taught
how to wash and card the wool and
how to use it for comforters. Many
families have made enough comforters
for the family for life time. Here
again the home demonstration agent
came in to show how to utilize valu-
able resources which otherwise would
have been largely wasted.
In many small towns small market
house has been built where the farm
women bring their surplus fruits, poul-
try, vegetable and other products
where they are sold direct to consum-
ers at reasonable prices. The farm
women made pin money, sold their
surplus at good prices and the village
people got fresh food at minimum
Of cost and trouble. But it took a home
demonstration agent to point the way,
u i 3needful co-operation
The refurbishing of old furniture has
been taught to farm women in Iowa.
Furniture fifty years old, believed
worthy only for the junk heap, was
pulled out and cleaned up, vanished
intelligently and made into heir
looms. The women were taught how
to buy furniture, what woods are best
for various uses, the best decorative
schemes for furniture In fact the
whole subject of home decoration was
opened again through the work of
the home demonstration agent
Home dressmaking, canning, COM
munity music, recreation for farmers,
community singing, beautifying of
farmsteads and hundreds of subjects
are taught by these home demonstra-
ton agents. While the county agents
make the old farm pay, these home
agents will make life worth while
on the farm, will point out how to
use the farm profits to make life in
the country rich, full and satisfying
in every way. They meet a very real
need.

| ayward's Philosophy
E. F. Hayward, Conover Wis.

When you see a failure. just look for
the cause,
And you'll find twas neglect of nat
ure's laws;
Don't let the loser assign the blame,
For most all losers, are just the
same.
They frame up happy go lucky ex-
istence,
And follow the lines of least resis-
tence,
They sit in the shade while others
work,
And only plan, their share to shirk.
They live by the sweat of another's
brow,
And win by their wits for awhile,
somehow;
They simply drift on the rivers crest,
Nor make an effort to do their best
They float along, with an unconcern
Of the danger that's lurking, at every
turn;
To the calls for help, they are dumb
indeed,
For theirs is life of selfish greed.
They ramble along from bad to
worse,
Till the leveling law of the universe,
Judging every man by his real true
worth,
Says: The idler shall have no place
on earth.
