Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Larson of
Chicago, accompanied by Robert
Breathway. passed through Eagle
River yesterday forenoon, going
TO the Larson home on Found
lake. They left Chicago in plea
SAINT weather and caught up with
North Wisconsin's first snow
storm Monday afternoon near
Shawano Staying all night at
Hiles, they finished their journey
10 Found lake under rather chilly
conditions. This was the first Wis
it Mr.. Breathway had made to the
Big Woods, and his opinion of the
northland is undoubtedly reverse
TO what he has been told. There
is one assurance TO be given Mr..
Breathway, and that is he was
shown what the weather man can
do for the fellow who visits us
late in the season, dishing him out
a brand of weather that could not
be duplicated anywhere else. Good
weather for duck hunters but not
for the man hunting sunshine.

MAY NOT CAST BALLOTS
Absent Voters May Loose
Vote on Account of Con-
Fiction in Election Laws.

Confliction in the state election
laws may deprive absent voters
living far away from the right of
casting their ballots.
According 10 the secretary of
states office absent electors wish
ing 70 vote must make applica-
tion for ballots to the clerks of
their respective cities or towns not
more than 20 days nor less than
three days before election.
The law also privides that the
ballots must be in the hands of
the county clerk not later than
four days before election. If a
mistake has been made the ballots
must be reprinted.
Candidates wishing to withdraw
from the field have until nine
days before election to file an af-
fidavit of withdrawal. This clear
~ indicates it is impossible to get
q ballot TO an elector, visiting or
residing temporarily in California
or some other far off state, and
have it back here by election.
II Is expected if voters, in cases
of this kind. are deprived of their
vote, the Legislature will be asked
TO change the law.
Fhe nominations for state. con-
gressional and legislative offices
have been certified TO the county
clerks by the secretary of states
office, and the official ballots will
soon be in the hands of the print
ers. Reedsburg Times.

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
In Praise of Plumbing

I sing the bathtub and it's uses, it's soap and suds and cleansing juices. How dear to my heart is it's porcelain lining when Hannah has scrubbed it all clean and all shining, with mo- where upon it a circle of dark, some bather has left for a high water mark. How dear to my heart is the hot water faucet, the rack and the towels that spread out across it. stand awhile on one foot, first, just while the suds are at their worst, then teeter round upon the other to rest and cool it's par-boiled brother. As soon as can stand the heat, I put in both my size-ten feet. The water still is over hot; l step about before l squat, in hopes to find a cooler spot and waiting wet another min ute, gingerly settle the rest of me to it. When l was young we had no tubs in which to take our weekly scrubs. If pa would bathe he had to pitch in and pack some water to the kitchen. When that was hot be called for Bub to rustic up laundry tub. And there with father overlaid, cold kitchen drafts upon him played. Some folks keep warm with fat and loose flesh, but pa was thin and ran to goose flesh. He sprung the door a cautious crack; his deep bass voice rang through the shack and called for ma to wash his back. Then slipp- ing in the soapy juice, he fell and jared his backbone loose. D we have griefs and more are coming, but glory be for modern plumbing. Our lives of veal and woe are mix lures,

RUBBING IT IN

I hastened into a barber's shop the other day and asked if I could be shaved in five minutes. "Yep" was the reply. He began lathering and lathering and kept on lathering until I felt sure I would miss my train. Still he kept on plying his soap brush. I was saying to myself, "Why does mt he quit this process and get busy with the razor?" That would have been my way of shaving myself in a hurry. When he did finally take up his razor, the job was over in jiffy. And l caught my train.
 The incident, for some reason CT other, begot this thought in my mind: Lathering is to shaving very much the same thing that advertising is to selling. If you do enough prelimin- ary work and do it properly, so that groundwork has been thoroughly prepared, then the resistance is very greatly reduced, and it is possible to shave with less trouble or to sell goods with less trouble. A good many business men are as foolish as I would have been in trying to shave myself in a hurry. They don't use enough advertising before starting to try to get results. They don't apply enough advertising father. Is it not so?

The account that saw in a recent number of the News of a wood becker rapping his bill on a metal roof reminded me of a somewhat similar case that was one of the chief actors in, when my wife and were down in Miami, Fla. a year ago last February. We had room in the End story of~a two story house and early one morning I was awak- ened by what sounde6, to me like some one knocking on the front door, just under our window. 1 called out "Who's there" no answer. slid out of bed and went to the window and peeked down at the steps, no one there. We'll I said to Mrs. G. that's funny, they must have gone pretty quick. Well next morning, the same thing happened or raps, ? or 3 times again. I rushed tc the window and looked down, no one there. l turned to Mrs, G. and asked her if she had noticed anything strange or different about me lately, and she said no, why do you ask that? We'll, l Sdlu, every HoIIIltlS HSa- SOl10 one knocking and no one is there and didn't know but this hooch had affected my head. Well the next morning some one was up early and out in the yard, and he saw the little scamp of a woodpecker alright, on the side of the house and begin his rapping. He didn't rap fast as they generally do up here but in regular leisurely southern way which made it sound just like some one knocking on the door. I felt much relieved to find that things were not as I had feared they might be.

THE RADIO CRAZE

Since the introduction of azloRz priced radio apparatus and with the realization of it's possibilities, reports indicate that practically every. town in the entire country has several amateur receiving stations. E is more than a pastime and it's inter-. esting features are manifold, to say nothing of it's educational value. It is undoubtedly responsible for keep ing more boys off the streets than any other agency or invention in century. This alone is of inestimable value.
 The receiving of wireless messages and the manufacture of homemade radio outfits took, or is taking, the country by storm. 7 It practically amounts to a craze. To substantiate this statement we cite the fact that one of the largest electrical supply companies in the world have refused to accept any more orders for wire less apparatus. The company has already booked orders amounting to fifteen million dollars which it can not fill. This is graphic indication of the popularity which the radio has attained in the past six months.
 For fear that some of our local enthusiasts will be5without wireless apparatus,u~Fhe.~Ns8EsD~has4 arranged for a series of twenty-five articles by an expert on how to- make and oper- ate a home radio receiving station. The information contained in these articles is simple, dependable and will enable anyone to make a wire less telephone that is practical. The first article will appear in an early issue.

Experi- ments conducted in a moving freight car have shown that the wireless sys- tenn works well, the men engaged In the testing of the instruments being able to hold conversations with friends in Berlin. The tests were made under the observation of engineers, military attaches and the diplomatic repre- sentatives of the United States and Sweden.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Editor of The News:

I have been requested to correct an erroneous impression which was conveyed by an article on the first page of last weeks News concerning the alumnae association of Canaan High School. If you will take the trouble to consult your history of Canaan (the old files of the News) you will find that the alumnae asso- citation has had an active existence. Even as recently as six or seven years ago there was an alumnae reception and dance in the Town Hall.
 AS convincing proof that the association is not prehistoric, would call attention to the fact that the first treasurer is yet able to be about and attend to his regular du- ties in the Canaan National Bank without the aid of either cane CT spectacles.,
 If last weeks news article was contributed will you kindly transmit a copy of this letter to the contri- butor before the reorganization meeting tomorrow evening.

 With the assistance of Miss Doro- thy Buckley, Nutrition Specialist, from the State Agricultural College, $40 school children were weighed recently.
 Since the first weighing six months ago, the malnutrition has decreased from 309o to 209o.
 61 children gave up drinking tea and coffee.
 There was an increase of 49 quarts, in the daily consumption of milk.
 173 children or 51 %, were normal or over weight.
 167 children or 4996, were under weight.
 68 children or 2Oa6, were mal- nourished.
 50 children who had been under weight reached normal weight.
 There was only a small percent age of children who did not make some gain.
 Practically every child put forth considerable effort to gain, which is proven by the above figures.
 It is to be hoped that the present enthusiasm and interest in their health, will be continued by the children.
 With the cooperation of the par ents this will be possible, and the reputation of Canaan for it's long lived inhabitants will continue, and our fair town will be a safe and goodly place for health.
