NOT ON STATE BALLOT
Democratic Party Unable to
Land Party Place on No
vember Ballot-Count Of
fiCers Have Party Place.

The democratic party falls flat
when it comes to having an of
fetal column on the November
ballot as a state organization.
This is due to the fact that the
votes cast for democratic candi-
dates fell below the percentage set
by law, and a recent ruling by
the courts has wiped them out,
especially on the state ticket.
However, Villas county demo
cratic candidates have their regu-
lar column, under the head of the
party on the ballot, at the Novem-
Der election to be held the 18th
of next month.
Seems as though the reason the
democrats fell down this fall was
on account of too many of their
party men wanting to get on the
loaded LaFollette wagon-news-
papers and voters alike.
Looks like mighty hard shedding
for the old party.

WHY NOT FORM A CLUB
Necessity in Supplying Feed
in Lakes for Ducks Appar-
ent if Flight is Expected to
Stop.

Do Villas county sportsmen rea-
lie that unless there is immedi-
ate action taken in propagating
feed for ducks and other migra-
tory birds, that a year or more
will see this section devoid of
shooting in the fall?
Observers of conditions in this
lake region show that very few
lakes have any supply of wild
rice, celery or other food neces-
sary for the feeding of home
ducks and the flight from the
north late in the fall. Many Of
the lakes which in former years
have been filled with rice beds,
are barren this fall and the ducks
have been forced TO seek other
feeding grounds. Again, the
raising of the waters in some of
the lakes where rice beds have
been located for many years, has
caused the rice to disappear and
ruined it rs a feeding ground.
Would il not be the proper spir-
it for sportsmen to form an asso-
citation in Eagle River and the
various other communities in Villas
county right now and place n
fund for the purchasing of rice
and celery and the planting for
next season.
Unless something is done there
will be no fall shooting in this
entire lake region.

START BIG OPERATIONS
Revival of Old Time Logging
Operations Said to be Due
This Winter in North Wis
cons.n.

Indications point to a resump-
ton of logging operations
throughout Northern Wisconsin
this winter, and old-timers claim
it will be on a scale similar to that
of early days.
1t has been discovered that there
are still many virgin tracts of
timber in this section of the state,
and while not combined in the
large tracts as of former years,
still in their scattered condition
will cause logging to be carried on
for many years.
The STANCE corporation is now
beginning the cutting of its tract
of virgin pine located west of
Stormy lake, and up farther north
in the town of State Line. Many
camps have been built this sum-
mer by this company, which will
cut pine and hardwood lying west
of Stormy and Island and Goose
lakes, going as far west as High
lake and north into Michigan.
According to Charles Hooper, as
sistant superintendent of the Vic
toria Mining Company, who for
many years have been operating
copper mines south of Ontonagon
near ROckland, that section of
northern Michigan will open up
the numbering industry. This
fact of conditions has been
brought about by the closing of
all mines in the upper peninsula,
and the moving away Of the pop
ulation in order that they might
find other places for employment.
As it now is, according to Mr.
Hooper, many of the mining towns
in northern Michigan are deserted,
and handsome residences are be-
ing dismantled and moved to
other sections. He states that la
Dor conditions in Michigan are
critical, especially for the man
who is a miner.

AUTO TURNED TURTLE
Froelichs of Sayner Badly In
jure d When Buick Car
Skidded and Turned Com
pletely Over.

In an automobile accident last
Sunday William FrOelich, his little
son, and Emerone FrOelich, all of
Sayner, were badly injured by the
over-turning of their Buick car
on Highway 10 about fourteen
miles north of TOmahawk.
The families of William and
Emerone were driving over high
way 10 to Wausau last Sunday
morning in their Buick. At
point about fourteen miles north
of TOmahawk, while making
sharp turn in the road, the car was
overturned completely, due to only
one brake working, causing the
car to skid and go over.
William sustained a broken col
lar bone and was unconscious for
several hours. Emerone had a
badly crushed shoulder, while the
little son of William Froelich had
"a broken upper jaw. Both the
wives escaped with minor bruises.
William Froelich was taken to a
hospital at Tomahawk and was
only brought home yesterday. En-
erone FrOelich managed to drive
the car home Immediately after
the accident.
The car was damaged very little,
the only part wrecked was the
steering wheel; not enough to de
lay its being driven home.

without eating up the funds in
expense.
The time is not far distant when
the state of Wisconsin will neces-
sarily be compelled to set aside a
large fund for exploitation of her
pleasure grounds and natural adj
vantages: but until that time does
come it is foolish to try and float
a big venture with small capital,
especially when the expense in
floating it eats up the greater
part of the principal.
The Wisconsin Motorists AssOci-
atoms plan of establishing its
House by the Roadside" all over
the state and supply every essent-
ial in information for the motor
ist. together with that of joining
in with lake region associations
is a mighty splendid idea. 1t will
cover the ground until a more
adequate source Of funds is Sc
cured.
The sense of the Friday meeting
of the Resort Owners Association
in Eagle River was TO prepare this
winter all details and at the early
meeting next spring build for q
banner year in the entire lake
region. A membership drive is
now in formation in every Sec
tion of the lake region. taking in
memberships from resorts, gar
lagos. hotels, and business houses

1t may be worth considerable TO
somebody to have attention called
to the drastic provisions of the
hunting laws concerning carrying
a gun in an auto. Any car found
with a gun in it without being
taken down and in a case, is sub
ject to confiscation and being n
total loss to the owner. This ap-
plies to a hunter you might over

might ask to ride with you. Make

BUILD HEALTH CENTER
Better Attention to Be Civ
en- Rural Communities by
State Board.

In furtherance of state and fed
eral plans to reduce the infant
and maternity mortality in Wis
consin, Miss Anna II. Mccarthy of
Madison was here today comforting
with officials and welfare work
.ers. Miss Mccarthy is public
health nurse for maternity and
infant health centers in this dis
trict, one of which will be esta-
blished where it will reach the
largest number of rural children
and mothers.
Under the Sheppard-Towner act
this work will be pursued in every
county in the state which guar
antees to provide quarters, equip
ment and active assistance for a
maternity and infant health cen
ter. All other expenses are paid
from Sheppard-Towner funds. The
work is under the supervision of
the State Board of Health.
This service will be for the dis
tinctly rural population, embrac-
ing the small towns and the farm
ing districts, where health center
facilities usually are lacking. In
these areas the infant mortality,
as a direct result of this lack of
skilled attention for mothers in
the prenatal stage, and for infants
in their first months of life, has
become abnormally large. Most
of these lives could be saved if
conditions favorable to health
were insured.
In Wisconsin in 1920 there were
59,269 births. There were also f.
$50 deaths of babies under one
year, and of these 2,613 were IN
der one month. Three hundred
thirty-eight mothers died from
causes incident to childbirth.
Because the same conditions
which cause this mortality lead
also to impaired vitality and phys
zeal handicaps of the children who
live, the need for reducing these
hazards for the rural population
becomes doubly important. The
states plans for utilizing the
funds under the Sheppard-Towner
law call for remedial measures.
Chief among them is the establish
ment of a maternity and infant
health center in every county pro-
viding headquarters for one. The
State Board of Health will fur
nish the physician and nurse for
these centers. The physician for
all centers is DIR. Mildred Van
Cleve of Madison. A board of
managers for each center will be
formed from all welfare organi-
cations in the county.
Expectant mothers will be given
a complete first examination, ur-
inalysis made, and the findings
sent and the mothers referred to
the family physician for regular
examinations and supervision be-
fore confinement. The work is
principally advisory and education
al. Medical and nursing care will
net be given.
At these centers, also, children
under school age will be given
complete physical examinations,
referred to family physicians when
defects are found, and parents
given advice on general care and
hygiene of the children. All SER
vice of this kind is free. One day
month will be set aside as Cen

BEWARE OF SWINDLERS
Local Postoffices in County
Notified of Fraudulent Sill
verware Companies From
Canada, Now Operating in
United States.

Villas and Oneida county people
who are sending money to com
panies in Canada for silverware,
should take warning and keep
their money at home, for they will
lose out on account of the COM
panies being frauds.
Postermaster Zimpelmann of
Eagle River is using his best en-
deavors TO warn patrons to not
send their cash. As it is, the
Canadian authorities are return
ing many letters to Eagle River
containing money orders and
checks addressed to the Canadian
Silverware Company at Montreal,
Canada. On each letter is stamp
ed Fraudulent"
The following from last weeks
Shawano Journal, gives one an
idea of what is being worked on
the persons who absodarnlutely
must send out their money to
mail order houses, while the best
of goods may be obtained of their
home merchants. Here is what it
says:
1T was Barnum, that old Wiz
ard Of public fun who said that
sucker is born every hour. 1t
is also true that n new swindler
is born every hour. There is be-
ing worked right now a whole
series of swindlers of swindles out
from Montreal, Canada, and some
of our own people are being fool
ed. This article is being printed
in the hope that it may save some
of our Journal readers from being
taken in.
These Montreal schemes are
silverware tricks. The scheme is a
simple one and is worked out on
the plan of a contest. First
comes a puzzle published in some
of the cheaper magazines. The
puzzle is easy, and many send in
answers lust for fun" In a few
weeks along comes a postcard say
ing that the addressee has won n
prize, and that if the recipient
will forward a dollar ito cover
postage" the prize will be shipped
at once. In goes the dollar and
that is the last that is ever heard
of the dollar or the prize, unless
the letter is caught by the dead
letter office and is returned as
fraudulent.
Uncle Sam looks pretty care
fully after his post-office patrons,
and many thousands of dollars are
each year turned back by the post
office system to people who were
being defrauded by a fake com
pany. Money has been saved in
this way to Shawano county peo-
pie within the last month.
Here are the names of some of
the fraudulent companies. They
probably are all the same people,
under different company names.
Do not write to any of these or
send them money: Radiant Dia-
mond e. Silverware Company; Ca
madam Silverware Company; Stand
ard Silverware Company; Crown
Silver e. Jewelry Company; Ha-
waiian Diamond and Premium
Company; Royal Silverware Com
pany; Eastern Silverware Com
pany; United Silverware Company;
Oriental Diamond Company; Com
mercial Silverware Company; and
American Silverware Company.
All of these companies have been
mailing their literature out of
Montreal.
