Stevens Point Potato
Show Oct. 81 to Nov. 3
CONVENTION WILL DRAW MANY
POTATO MEN FROM ALL
OVER COUNTRY

Stevens Point IN a little more than
a month will be host to the largest
potato convention in the world
More than 500 growers from 80
Wisconsin counties will come here to
exhibit their products at the tenth an
nual convention of the Wisconsin Po-
tato Growers association, to be held
at the armory here Oct 81 to Nov. g.
Detailed plans for the convention
we're outlined and discussed at a meet
ing of the local committee with J. G.
Milward, Madison, secretary of the as
ISOLATION. Effort is being made this
year to arrange program especially
in the interests of central Wisconsin
potato growing problems, and arrange
ments have been made to cooperate
with potato growers in central Wis
consin Wood and Waupaca counties
will assist within the next few weeks.
In celebration of the tenth anniver-
sary of the association, reports will
be made on the work accomplished in
the interests of the industry. There
has never been a time in the history
of potato growing when so much in
terest has been aroused in questions
involving potato growing, seed inspec-
ton, standard varieties, machinery
and equipment, grading and shipping
problems. The association expects
representatives from several parts of
he country to handle these questiins
IN the convention floor.
The competitive exhibits will repre-
tent potatoes from 80 Wisconsin coun-
les and will be the result of the Sc
ection of both standard seed and
sample stock from the best growers
in Wisconsin Special attention will
be given to assembling exhibits of
standard seed stock representing the
varieties under inspection in the state
The premium lists, potato show
regulations and all detailed Informal
ton will be circulated from Madison
at once, intended to reach the grower
just at digging time. The sum of $500
will be given as prizes here.
It is planned to expand the col.
ton to include harvest festival, one
of the main features Of which will be
a parade on down town streets.
1t is especially significant that on
tt tenth anniversary Of the associa-
ti0n the convention is being brought
back into the heart of the Wisconsin
potato belt and into the county which
has larger acreage of potatoes than
any other county in the United States
For the last several years the conven-
ton has been held in Milwaukee. Mil

Baseball Fans Surprise
Old Standby With Gift
MAX EWALD GETS GOLD WATCH
IN APPRECIATION OF TWENTY
YEARS IN GAME

Max Ewald reached the fortieth mile
stone along lifes highway Wednesday,
Oct. 4, and in appreciation OF the
fact that the season just closed was
the twentieth consecutive one that
he has been a valued member OF the
Eagle River baseball team, the Eagle
River fans and numerous other friends
decided to present him with token
of regard that took the form Of a
fine gold watch and fob. 1t was GER
tainly an act well worthy of doing as
Max has been one Of the best all
around men on the team and although
his usual position is catching behind
the bat, there is no position that he
cannot play and play we'll. In the
twenty years that he has been an IN
salaried player, playing the game
purely for the love of it, there has
been many game turned from sure
defeat into victory, by placing him
in some position held by player I'M
able to handle the situation success
fully. No matter what other enter
tainment was on for the day, the
team has always been able to depend
on his services if needed and regard
less of the fact that he generally got
most of his practice and training in
the way of working every day at some
avocation of the kind that means that
a man is tired when the days work
is done His friends and the Eagle
River fans appreciate all that he has
done toward putting Eagle River on
the baseball map and the above testi-
monial of regard was their method of
showing it and it was a tribute truly
well deserved.

Famous Smith Triu1nphs
Making Great Progress
LANGLADE COUNTY GROWER HAS
DEVELOPED A DISTINCTIVE
STRAIN OF SPUD

That Langlade county potato grow
ers are beginning to appreciate their
opportunity in capitalizing for the
county the development here of the
Smith Triumph acknowledged the
best strain of this variety of potato,
is shown by the fact that there are
now stored at the Starks warehouse
in this city 5000 bushels of Smith
Triumph seed potatoes grown by
three growers-Peter Krier, Otto
Gresch and Fred Brandt Dave Knox
is said to have stored a quantity OF
them at the Balm warehouse. All
have been certified for field inspec-
ton and there appears to be no doubt
that the bin inspection will permit OF
complete certification.
Peter Krier has just finished har-
vesting twenty acres of Smith Tri-
umphs, obtaining about 1000 crates,
or close to 800 bushels to the acre.
He is now harvesting Russell Rurals
that will yield about 800 bushels to
the acre
Late blight, that appeared in num-
Der of Langlade county potato fields
early last month, is now showing its
effect in the force of dry rot. Some
potatoes affected with Ut got into
shipments and caused complaints at
the receiving market. Local growers
and buyers can not afford to have the
market for Langlade county potatoes
injured so buyers are requiring that
the blight affected potatoes be sorted
out. Green Mountains are showing
| the most dry rot, and there is some
in the Rurals, but none has been
found in the early varieties, such as
Cobblers and Early Ohios.
It is estimated that about 1900 cars
of potatoes will be- shipped from the
Amigo territory.

IN APPRECIATION

| desire to extend my sincere appre-
citation for the watch and fob given me
on my birthday by Eagle River base

my long connection with the Eagle

ciate the courtesy and wish to say to
the fans and my friends that although

ing the best ameteur ball team in the
state

Kazan Threw Big John
In Snappy Mat Bout
PHELPS MAN is CLEVER ON THE
MAT-BILLY PERKINS
ON NEXT HERE

Lack of time last Friday prevented
mention of the wrestling match that
took place, at the opera house on Thurs
day evening between John Big John
the Indian wrestler from Lac du Flam
beau and Kazan the welterweight
champion of the northwest who is now
located at Phelps. The match was ar
ranged to settle some, dissatisfaction
with the decision of the referee when
the pair went to the mat here during
fair week.
A large delegation came down from
Phelps to witness the match and K
Martin Thompson was chosen as ref
cree and kid Perkins of Rhinelan-
der as timekeeper. The latter made
an announcement at the ringside that
he, thereby challenged the winner for
match to be held later wherever it
might be decided. Kazan accepted the
challenge with an added proviso that
he would put up any part Of 100000
that he would win that match.
Kazan threw the Flambeau man
twice in succession, the last fall TAX
ing twenty-nine minutes and was de-
clared the winner of the contest. Big
John although very srong lacked the
nimbleness if his opponent and it was
evident that he was not nearly as pro
ficient in the wrestling game as Kazan
who is surely trained wrestler 1t
was worth the money though and
should the Kazan-Perkins match be
held here a large crowd will be in
attendance.

H. B. SPENCER TAKES CHARGE
Several Governors Announce the APP

Washington, Aug. l.-Working plans
under which government coal distribu-
ton will operate we're completed at
conference OF the President coal
committee with Henry b. Spencer,
federal coal distributor. the advisory
committee of producing operators and
other government agencies.
Preliminary to this conference the
operators advisory committee was in
conference earlier allotting territory
and forming district committees TO
function in the producing fields. On
these local committees will rest re-
spOnsibility in seeing that coal is
loaded and shipped from the mines in
accordance with distribution orders

State Committees. Named.
Coal Distributor Spencer received
kilograms from number of governors
announcing appointment of state pur-
chasing and distributing committees or
agencies, to see that coal allotted to
each state is properly distributed and
protiteering prevented.
1t actually marks the setting up and
beginning of operations by the coal
distribution. Offices were opened a
block from the Department of Com
merce and just around the corner from
the interstate commerce commission
and in the same building with the
American Railway associations car

centralizes all the agencies concerned
with the physical operation of the
distribution program.
No Mining Assumptions.
Car service reports for the past
week failed to reveal any resumption
Of mining operations in the union
fields of Pennsylvania or other union
lied territory. While there was i'm
provement in car loadings shown, it
was in nOnunion territory where op-
erations had been hampered by in;
ability of the railroads to move cars.
The Chesapeake & Ohio showed the
greatest improvement in this respect.
However, the tieup on that road has
been only partially relieved Louis
vile and Nashville and Norfolk and
Western loadings and car movements
were about as they had been the pre-
ceding week. The embargoes declared
last week, however, were expected to
result in increased coal Ioadings this
week.

WARNS C0L0NISTS OF FAKES
Commerce Department at Washington
Exposes South American
Land SWindlers.

Washington, Aug. L. Warning
against unofficial promoters of coloni-
zation schemes in South America was
issued by the Commerce department,
which added that such promoters have
been particularly active in the West
ern states. Many Americans going to
South America as colonists have found
that they have invested their savings
in land in the remote wilderness, the
department said. "While South Amer
lea has millions of acres of good pub
lie land the statement said, 'those
who are acquainted with the country
are of the opinion that Americans con-
templating going there as settlers
should make careful investigation of
such factors as transportation facili-
ties, climatic conditions, ETC., before
investing in any colonization scheme.
The Department of Commerce is in a
position to render material assistance
