FOR Who'll ESALE BUSINESS
PURPOSES

The wholesale fruit firm of Dunphy
& Holman this week purchased the
Hotel Austin property and will i'm
mediately raise the building and put

and will then use the entire first floor
for their business adding other lines
also which will be sold at wholesale.
The upper floors of the building and
vacant lots will be devoted to pur-
poses not yet fully decided upon The
location is a choice one for anything
and they will have no difficulty in
disposing of as much as not needed
for themselves. incidentally, it will
reduce the hotel facilities of Eagle
River to a marked degree, it having
operated continuously for hotel uses
ever since it was built over thirty
years ago.

COMMUNITY LEADERS

A rural school teacher went into a
certain district in Wisconsin with high
ideals and energy of purpose. She
hoped to stimulate the ambitions of
her pupils and to do something help
full in the community
She taught her pupils to take new
interest in their farm work. She her
self found many practical ways of
studying farm problems and arousing
the eager curiosity Of her children.
Many of the older pupils were en-
couraged to go to higher schools to
tudy agriculture.
Community work proved more diff
cult She had visited two or three
leading men in the neighborhood try
ing to get them to start some kind of
community organization, but George
waited for John and Richard waited
for Tom Nothing was done. Then
she decided to start things on her own
hook She planned community club.
The meeting was called at the
schoolhouse and more than so attend
ed it.. There was much old-fashioned
visiting, an informal talk or two, some.
music. A determination to do some
thing manifested itself. Out Of that
meeting grew an organization which
restored interest in debating on live
public questions. Several old-time
spelling matches were put on. A sing
ing school was organized. Picnics,
womans club and scores of meetings
have grown out of that first informal
meeting. The step taken with so
much trepidation led to farther steps
in the right direction.
Now this girl is a convert to the
idea that the teacher should and can
be a leader in every community She
says that the reason why so many
rural communities are poky is the lack
of leadership The teacher, she AYERS,
is the logical leader and should not
hesitate to .start something" There
will be plenty of help, she finds, once
the ball is set rolling More over,
she urges this idea upon. every rural
school teacher in Wisconsin who will
begin her labors within a fortnight or

Camp Kentuck Name
of New Summer Camp
VIRGIN HARDWOOD TRACT TO BE
THE HOME OF NEW
BOYS CAMP

Camp Kentuck viii be the name Of
news boys camp to open next year.
It will be located on a $40 acre tract
bordering on Kentuck, Emogene and
Dewey lakes recently purchased of
N A. Colman. It lies twenty miles
northeast Of Eagle River and about the
same distance south from Phelps.
The owners and managers are DR..
II. H. Sherwood, Of Plymouth; L. E..
EngIe of Chicago; and c. D. Blachard
of Stamford, Connecticut
Work has now started on the main
lodge which will be 60x6O, three
stories in height and constructed large
" from logs cut from the place
There will be ten cottages built to
accommodate seven boys in each with
the counselor in. charge.
A new feature will be that sufi-
cient land will put under cultivation
to supply all of the camp needs and
to furnish feed for the stock that will
be raised as on any farm.
1t is the plan to have an up to date
athletic field, including u mile track
$50 yard cinder straightaway, base
ball diamond and rifle range, tennis
and basketball courts. A golf course
will ultimately be developed
Feature farming for boys will be
specialized in and also Craftsmanship.
Movies, radio apparatus, motor boats,
sail boats and rowing will also be
made, strong features of Kentuck
Camp
The camp motto of Every kind Of
activity for every boy will be strict
ly adhered to.
1t is said by those in a position to
know that up to 1920, that 80 per cent
Of the boys camps in the United
States were located in the New Eng
land states. Northern Wisconsin has
however been found particularly adapt
ed for such purposes and there is now
a growing movement to locate such
camps in the lake region of Wisconsin.
Patronage from Chicago, Detroit, st.
Louis Cleveland and New York is al
ready guaranteed and provision win
be made for caring for all parents
that may wish to accompany their
boys or to spend vacation where
the natural advantages cannot be sur
passed.
It is at present a wilderness of yir-
gin hardwood timber with no other
camps or homes in the vicinity.
For boys or adult relatives it should
prove an ideal place for a summer
vacation and the proprietors will I'M
doubtedly find that the planned capac-
ity7of $50 people will be fully taken up

Distinction Not Always Britain's.
Daniel Webster spoke OF Great
Britain as a power dotting the pos
sessions of the earth With military
posts, keeping march with the sun and
"circling the earth with one contlnu-
Gus and unbroken strain of the mar
tial airs of England" But it was not
always So for in 1913, the Englishman
Gage wrote: ut is said of the Hol-
landers that the sun never sets on
their dominions. And the doughty
Capt. John Smith asked why should
the brave Spanish soldier brag, the
sun never sets on Spanish dominions?'
And in 1890, Guarini referred to Cath
crime of Austria as the monarch to
whom the sun never sets. Schiller
quotes Don Carlos in the German play
as asserting that 'The sun, in my do
minions, never sets" And Sir Walter
Scott asserted, THE sun never sets

How Many Native Wild
Flowers Do You know?
KNOWLEDGE OF WILD FLOWERS
ADDS TO ENJOYMENT
OF OUTDOORS

Better than cut flowers from the
greenhouse OF, tame flowers grown in
trim garden plots are. the wild flowers
of woods, and fields, Of roadside and
hillside. For these oft have a delicate
beauty and grace that artificial cul-
ture cannot reproduce, they are, in
season, within the reach Of all, and
in visiting their haunts we get out
into the open, we have the benefit of
fresh air and healthful exercise, and
of communion with nature.
From early spring till late autumn
this bouquet of beauty is within our
reach and all are invited. Thousands
attend, but other thousands remain
absent from year to year. How can
active interest in Wild flowers bic
aroused? One way is for those who
are interested in flowers to extend
their knowledge of the subject, not
only for its value to themselves, but
also for the influence they will thus
be enabled to exert on others. Could
we have a few flower friends in every
community the rest would be easy.
Contagion would soon create an ac-
tive interest in flower lore and flower
haunts

HONEYMOONERS ABROAD
BY ZOE 5EckLEY
BEGIN HERE TODAY

JACK Duryea, with his bride, Edna, has
oeen sent by his. employers to Europe to
investigate secretly the suspected in
trlgues OF the firms foreign represen-
tative, Cousins Thus Jack expects to
mix business with his honeymoon. Ar
irving at Naples. Jack and his bride see
Cousins coming in a revenue cutter to
meet them.
GO ON WITH THE STORY.
One Of the first to set foot on board
the Roma was Monsieur Cousins. Sight
ing Jack he rushed forward. arms ex-
tended, face alight, dramatic welcome in
his manner. He seized Jacks hands
and almost kissed him.
MY dear Meester Duryea!. And ees
thees-"
My Wife" Jack presented.
Cousins with expert gallantry kissed
both her hands.
II am charmed. charmed beyond
words! And on your Homogeneous ah,
how happy YOU shall be! I, Cousins,
your humble frien', know this Europe
! like my own hand and all its offerings of
pleasure. have everything planned out
for you. Do not bother your heads in
| the least. 1t is arranged. Gomez
Almost literally he rushed them off
their feet. He seemed to have lubricat-
| ed every possible wheel. Their baggage
was rushed through the customs.
| Their landing was expedited and
they found themselves on the pic
turesque quay. their ears dinned with
| the clamor of rival drivers OF flea-beaten
Ihorse-draw street cabs.
| Cousins shouldered a path through the
| gesticulating hackmen and led the Dur
| yeas to a big, new, shining green mo-
; tor, a liveried chauffeur at the wheel
the only car in the motley collection of
vehicles.
Your bridal chariot" Cousins
Dragged as they were whirled through
the crookedest. most peopled most col
orful. noisiest and by turns the most
picturesquely filthy streets conceivable.
Edna was so thrilled with the color
and beggary, the strident noise and the
brooding poetry Of the scenes through
which she was passing that she found
| no time to wonder where the splendid
| bridal chariot" came from.
But when she turned to her husband
to share with him the excitement Of a
steep street in which riot Of flowers in
baskets clashed with another riot of
colored rags of devil-may-care poverty
| she saw his thoughts were less on the
scenes about him than on their guide.
You shall see" Cousins was saying.
I
