BAKHMETEFF'S STATUS
LONG IN QUESTION
Recent Charges by Senator
Boroh on Loan Recalled.

Boris Alexandrovitch Bakhmeteff came
TO the United States in 1917 as the repre-
sentative oi the Kerensky Government
Of Russia. He remained in Washing
ton. an accredited Ambassador without
n government, after the Kerensky Gov
ernment fell Much OF his time also
was passed in New York. He had Of
fices at one time in the Flatiron Build
ing. His status since the overthrow OF
Kerensky has been disputed ques-
ton.
IL was through Bakhmeteff that the
United states advanced sls7. 900 TO the
Provisional Government of Russia,
headed by Kerensky. Senator Borah on
last Nav 4 demanded that the diplo-
matte privilege of immunity be with
drawn so far as II related to Bakhme-
teff and that he be required TO tell
what became OF the money. Senator
Borah said he had information that the
money instead Of going TO Russia went
10 the personal account OF Bakhmeteff,
and that he even went 40 far as to buy
real estate with u. Senator Borah said,
moreover, that. since the Government
the Ambassador represented no longer
existed the Senate should have the
power to subpoena him and compel him
TO disclose what became OF the money
and also 10 tell OF his alleged connection
with Gen. Gregory Semenoff
On May Secretary Hughes sent to
the Senate a statement by Bakhmeteff
denying in detail the charges made by
Senator Borah. Senator Borah re-
piled that the statement was not an
explanation OF the disposal Of the
money. which was the information he
had demanded.
Senator Borah's first attack on Bakh-
meteff was made soon after the arrival
OF Gen. Semenoff. Bakhmeteff was
subpoenaed by the Senate Committee
on Labor and Education TO testify TO
what he knew of the activities of Sem
enoff. but Secretary Hughes ruled that
the former Ambassador still enjoyed
diplomatic privileges and need not an

A T the present rate OF depopu-

about one-fifth the population of

BUILD BIG BOYS CAMP
Erection of Many Buildings
on Kentuck Lake for the
Housing of Boys for the
1923 Season Under Way.

Camp Kentuck" is the name
of a new boys camp now under
construction on Kentuck lake
some twenty miles northeast of
Eagle River and about eight
miles from Phelps.
Messrs. IL. H. Sherwood of
Plymouth, Wis, Carlton Blanc
hard of Massachusetts, and Lau-
renee Engel of Chicago, have
purchased a full section of hard
wood timbercd land between Ken
tuck, Dewey and Emogene lakes,
and are getting ground broken
for their buildings.
A main lodge and ten cottages
are expected to be in readiness
for the opening of the 1923 seas
on next July when the camp Is
expected to be opened. The hotel
will he a combination building
fitted for dining capacity for the
camp and with rooms for parents
of those boys who enter camp.
Each cottage is large enough 10
accommodate seven boys and a
councillor.
An addition to the regular
routine of camp life as handled
in this North Woods, will be that
of farming. Several acres will be
put under cultivation and the
boys will do their quota of farm
ing under capable men.
The location Of this camp Is
ideal, insomuch that it embraces
that part of an outing wherein
the city boy may secure knowl-
edge in a section that is practic-
ally virgin in timber and wild
life. The Kentuck section has
long been known as a virgin sec
ton of the Big Woods region,
and the place chosen by Camp
Kentuck is ideal in all that is de-
manded for a camp of this sort.

Farmer Uses HeadwOrk

One shrewd Wisconsin farmer
who had been bumped a number
of times with low prices for his
goods decided that he would take
new tack on marketing. He
had been selling his hogs when
they reached 200 to $50 pounds in
December. After a little research
work. he found that the summer
market rs a rule was the highest
for hogs.
With this information he be
gan to raise fall pigs and sold
them in June or July and he as
serts that he has frequently top
ped the market for the year m
stead of taking the years low
price in December
Here is farmer who tries TO
never sells oats in August or Sep
tember, when the market is flood
ed with oats. When the bulk of
the farmers are selling any pro
duct. he is not selling. He steers
away from the herd idea in
farming and needless to say he
owns his own farm without in
cumbrance and he has more than
a comfortable bank account.
One Of Wisconsin's rich men
once gave as his recipe for sue
cess: Buy your straw hat in
August" Ills motto was sell at
the top price and buy at the bot
tom price. This is good advice
for the farmer. too. On the other
hand. the farmer needs funds TO
keep his goods off the market,
but wise planning viii take care
of that.
As the fall season opens, when
the harvest is to be sold TO the
hest advantage. it behooves every
farmer to sharpen his wits in re-
gard to marketing. Selling hogs
at Sll in July and selling them
at S. or IS in December marks
the difference between farming
at a loss or a proft.-Milwaukee

Whether this measure will reach

To having a resident license in the

secretary of the club was author
lied to notify candidates for Of
fees in the assembly and senate
to oppose this measure.
Sportsmen and protective as
sociations throughout the state
are trying, in conjunction with
the conservation commission, to
place a law on the books whereby
the real fisherman and sportsman
must pay a license fee for his
sport. And there is logic in this.
There are many spOTtsmen who

Efforts of a few who spend real
money and time in securing fry
and fingerlings every year to
keep lakes and streams stocked
to the limit if possible. The tenet
eff the recent bill drafted by the
State Fish and Game Protective
association is to provide a method
whereby every sportsman must
pay a license, but at the same
time the fellow who does not fish
for the sport of the thing escapes
the license. 1t is said that at this
meeting held at Madison recently,
the proposed bill carried unanI-
mously. If we do not devise some
method in fish protection, it but
means the depletion of the fish

OPERATE GENERATOR
New Equipment for Power
Plant at Otter Rapids Fur
nishing Service to Consum-
ers.

With the attaching and placing
lin operation of the new generator
and water wheel at the Otter
Rapids power plant last Saturday,
the village patrons have now the
usage of adequate power To oper-
ate all utilities necessary in the
village.
The new generator combined
with the old will now furnish ov-
or five hundred horsepower. At
present but one hundred twenty
five horsepower Is utilized. How
ever during the winter this will
be increased greatly on account
of longer hours of service and
the demand for more lights and
heat.
The day is not far distant
when all the nearby resorts will
be users of electric energy devel-
oped from this plant. And 1t Is
not a misstatement in saying that
nearby villages will take advant-
age of cheap power and become
renters of this service.
Since the rejuvenatiOn of the
light and water commission there
has been a wonderful change, and
there is no kicking on the service
given patrons at this time.
