Big Money in Sports
Lures College 'Pr0fs'
BY BRIGGS

A NUMBER OF strange scenes
"a have been observed around New
York in the last few days.
In one group four eminent
mathematicians were seen hard at
work with retinue of sparring
partners, exchanging jab and upper
cut, wallop and feint.
In another group four we'll
known college presidents were OBJ
served warming up with baseball
and bat, as they practiced toe slides
and robust swings with large
bludgeons.
Around the corner one could see
three or four renowned scientists
either playing baseball or boxing
in feverish attitudes, denoting an
intense yearning.
For a while the piercing mystery
could not be solved. And then
some one happened to stumble
across these two head lines:
"Jack Dempsey offered $35O,000
for one fight
Babe Ruth signs contract for
$4,000 a year.

DUE TO OVER-EXERTION
Louis Grenier of Arbor Vitae
Died Suddenly Yesterday
We'll Known Resident of
County.

Louis Grenier, farmer and re-
sort man of Arbor Vitae, died
suddenly at Woodruff yesterday
forenoon. Death was due to over
exertion.
Mr.. Grenier earlier in the fore
noon ran quite a distance in ord
er to catch a rig going from Ar
Dor Vitae to Woodruff. Upon his
arrival at hotel in Woodruff he
complained of not feeling well.
His death occurred within a few
minutes.
Louis Grenier, an old resident
of Arbor Vitae, owned a large
farm and in connection with that
operated a resort on Big Arbor
Vitae lake. He was about forty
years of age. He leaves a wife and
three children.

CUT-OVERLANDS AN AID
Jobless Men Can Get in On
Work if They Come to
Wisconsin.

Can Wisconsin farms relieve fl
nancial strains on large cities of
other states? That is the ques-
ton farm bureaus of Wisconsin
are trying to answer to thousands
OF requests from unemployed city
men received by farm organiza-
tions during the last few months.
One example of how cheap farm
lands of the state have cared for
the cities unemployed was cited
recently by the Association of
Commerce of a Wisconsin city.
The story, as the association
tells it, follows:
An unemployed young man from
Chicago, having only $500, bought
so acres Of cut-over land near the
town. That was four years ago.
TO-DAY this man has nearly half
the land cleared and under cult
walton, and has torn down the
old abandoned lumber shack that
was on the land. Now he has a
comfortable home, a comfortable
bank account and a future that
few city workers can hope for.
This experience, farm bureau
men declare, can be equaled to-
day with much less work and ev-
en- less capital than the Chicago
man had. They point to this as
an example of what Wisconsin
lands can do for unemployed city
persons who have a small savings
account and an ambition TO work.

TO BEGIN OPERATIONS
Manufacturing Plants VIII
Begin Activities and Start
a Nice Sized Payroll in the
Village.

The Eagle River Lumber Com
pany expect to start their sawmill
this week, working a crew of
men in their lath, single and
planning department. This run.
together with the manufacturing
of lumber later on will cause this
plant to operate until fall. They
will employ about thirty men dur
ing the coming season.
Forty men and over will be put
on the payroll of the Wisconsin
Mich, Lumber Company's plant
in this village just as soon as the
company can operate their rail
road trains up at State Line. At
present the six miles of track
from State Line station to the
company'S camps is covered with
several feet of snow, and a crew
of men are now opening up the
right-of-way in order that their
trains may run into the main line
and send down timber. When the
saw mill and auxiliary plants in
this village start it will be a
steady all-year run by the WIN.
Company.
The Kreh Company have now a
crew of five men employed in
their automobile accessory plant
just south of the depot, and they
will add more -workmen as the
machinery arrives. The company
is now getting their dies and tools
in shape for the manufacture of
accessories on a large scale within
a few weeks.
The Radcliffe Company. who
have just finished their new lath
mill started the machinery Mon
day morning. By the end of the
week this plant will be running
on full time and will employ six
teen men. This plant will have a
long run.

SPRING FIRE DANGER
Extra Precaution Should Be
Taken This Spring by Prop
erty Owners Against the
Spread of Fires.

Spring, now drawing near. will
bring with it the danger of forest
fires, says the Milwaukee Journal.
These fires occur chiefly in the
spring. after the snow melts and
the sun dries the leaves of au-
tumn, and again in the autumn.
Immediately after the leaves fall
and become dry.
The most dangerous months
are May and October. May will
soon be here. The ground will be
covered with infiammable materi-
.al-leaves, slash" logs and limbs
and dead trees-the debris of for
ests and of cut-over land. Careless
tourists and campers, loggers and
settlers, are likely TO start fires
that will devastate remnants of
virgin forest, destroy new forest
growth, invade new farms and
little communities and menace
human life.
There are two ways to avert
forest fires and the heavy loss
they cause.
One way is to prevent them.
This calls for individual care and
intelligent public sentiment One
who goes into the woods, one who
cuts timber or clears land, cannot
be too thoughtful. A flaming
match, a spark from a locomotive,
a burning cigar or cigarette, an
ungUarded campfire or logs and
stumps set afire to clear land, any
of these may start a holocaust.
One cannot be too careful. Reck-
lessness cannot be guarded against
or condemned too strongly.
