shot at the buck" This is Wis
consin's way of preserving a win
ter sport for succeeding years to
come. What thrills are expert
enced in bringing down our deer
and getting him ready for table
usel
There is still another sport
which may sound to some more
like joke,-it is fishing through
the ice. 1t seems to us that no
fish, excepting brook trout, tastes
better than any fish brought out
of the icy water: this fresh water.
That reminds us of our maiden
trip. Two educators, a preacher
and a teacher, had us in tow.
Near the spot where we expected
to cast in our bats we had MOTTO
ed some water at the edge of the
ice of the lake which these jok-
ing educators referred to as a
spring. After setting bats we
were ready for luncheon. Who'll
go for water" said the preacher
~ said we, being very humble
on that occasion. So we started
off for the spring. Soon we heard
the tTo jokers laughing to split
their sides and we wondered
what it was about when they
shouted Come back here you
greene, we've got the same wa
ter right here in this hole in the
ice" Pshaw! but that's all in the
game of winter sports.
Then HE we away to the field of
sport
With its snow and ice embrac-
ing
With its fowl and game of every
sort
That set our souls a-prancing.
Let's hike on the roads, let's ski
on the hills
Let's fish in the streams, let's
boat on the lakes
Our vital life enhancing.

ARRIVE FROM PANAMA
Mrs. Doyle Visiting in Eagle
River From Home in Canal
Zone.

Since our last issue Mrs. ]. +.
Doyle and her infant baby arrived
at the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. N. A. Garrison, Eagle
River. from the Panama Canal
Zone.
Mrs. Doyle's husband is captain
Of 42nd Infantry, Porto Rican
troops, the only regiment of Span
ish speaking troops in the zone;
all officers being Americans. Mrs.
Doyle made her voyage from the
canal zone in the transport St.
Mihiel taking six and a half days
to complete the ocean trip. Land
ing was made at the govern
ment's Brooklyn pier. Then two
hours were used up in searching
her effects by U. S. customs of
ticials. This is made necessary
because all foreign goods enter
Panama duty free, and any of
this material coming in TO the
United States must be taxed the
usual tariff.
Mrs. Doyle says life in the Pan
anna Canal Zone is not so unbrav-
able as many think. The climate
Is hot of course, the year divid-
ing itself naturally into two seas
ons-wet and dry. The wet seas
on extends from December to
May and the dry from June to
November. The humidity is very
great in the dry season and yet
at night the blankets are neces-
sary for warmth. The wet seas
on is the pleasantest although
rain falls every day. All vege-
tatiOn seems TO take on new VI
tally; plants, flowers, trees are
more beautiful. During the wet
season the underground of the
forests grow so quickly that IN
one month the paths and trails
are lost in a veritable jungle.
IL is part of the discipline of
the army that these trails, roads,
homes and even families shall be
located on army maps. In order
to do this a trip of investigation
must be taken by the officers
through tropical growth to iden-
tify and correct locations on the
maps. The hills are beautiful in
varicolored garments of leaves
and the nights are wonderful
and Respondent in the number
and light of the stars.

of skiing. They are dressed ir
blouse and trousers to give then
freedom of limb for their chosen
sport. Here comes a woodsman
from his home nine miles away
where the roads have not as yet
been broken. He must have gro.
ceries for his wife and BARNS and
with his turkey on his back and
staff in his hand he strides mer-
rily along on his skis as fast as
an ordinary horse, with the added
enjoyment of heat in the body
and pleasure in the mind. You'd
er Is a trapper, ready with his
own eatables, ready also with
eatable bait for his prey. He is
on snow shoes for he traverses
fields and woods beyond the ia
miliar haunts of the settler to
bag his game and get his pelt.
What wonderful possibilities
for red blooded people Turk in
the wilds of wood and stream,
snow and ice. We note with sat
isfactiOn the building of tobog-
gan slides at resorts which over
look the lakes. What keener fun
for the tired brain and the worn
body than the slide of the tobog-
gan. And for those whose likes
run to racing what keener joy
can there be than racing before
the breeze in an ice-boat. Anna
teurs and experts at this fun may
find stretches of ice on a single
lake several miles long and on
the chains of lakes scores of
miles in seeming endless courses.
The climax or apex of sport at
this time of the year is deer-hunt-
ing. A man should be a real
sport, with blue blood, to be al
lowed in this arena. The man
who shoots does and fawns is a
law-breaker pure and simple. 1t
is refreshing to hear men say as

The homes of the people are
quite airy having no windows or
doors but shutters and the large
porches all screened in from fly
ing insects. Only fires for cook
ing are kept. Help is abundant;
most people having a cook and a
laundress. Twenty dollars is the
highest wage paid a month to
domestic help. A popularity is
the dry clothes closet with car
bon bulbs to generate heat to
offset dampness and mildew. If
a shoe would be left outside a
closet over night it would likely
have a coating of mildew in the
morning.
The government provides schools
for blacks and whites separately
and teachers from the United
States are brought fresh every
two years. This keeps the edu-
cation and method up to the nee
essary standard.
Mrs. Doyle says the country is
free from the germs of colds, so
that pneumonia, diptheria, Group,
measles are unknown. Pests like
ants, flying cockroaches and 9th
err vermin abound but these OBJ
tain not on account of dirt but
the character of the soil and eli
mate and are not regarded so pes
tiferous as in our northern CHM
ate.
Poisonous snakes and scorpions
are plentiful but rarely is any
one bitten because they are not
antagonized. The most familiar
snake there is the Coil snake
which takes its name from the
black and white color coils sur
rounding its body.
Now look at your map and To-
cate the Panama Canal; now the
Culebra Cut near to Pedro Migu-
ell and finally Gaillard. There is
the home of Capt. Doyle and his
wife and baby.

BOTH MADE GOOD HUNT
West Bend and Milwaukee
Men, Novices at Deer Hunt
ing, Capture Prizes First
Day of Season.

Tenderfeet, the world over, OF
the 1000 variety-red shoes, rec
coats and hat, and a fear that
some wise old hunter would take
them for a deer. Imagined every
noise proclaimed the presence OF
either a wolf or bear, and if il
was not one of the two, it was
some hunter ready to shoot EN-
in the back.
Such were the feelings of Alex
f. Yahr of West Bend, and Aaron
Burr Olson of Milwaukee, who
terminated a weeks hunt last
Saturday in the Tamarack coun-
try, being successful in each land
ing bucks that weighed better
than 100 dressed.
Both Yahr and Olson are Tor
were) pure tenderfeet in the deer
game. Yahr, a cousin to Arthur
Yahr of Pkelns, ind also a rela-
tive to Mrs. L. G. Kuehne of
Eagle River, had never stepped
foot in the woods, let alone that
of pursuing a deer. He had new
er seen a wild deer, neither a
track of one. Olson, while a for
mer resident of Eagle River many
years ago, had never killed his
game, but invariably had had
some kind friend give him a hunk
of buck at the end of his hunt.
To shorten a long tale, Yahr
and Olson both killed, unassisted,
their first deer the first morning.
Had they been violators, they
both claim they could have stack
ed up does and fawns galore,
these animals persisting in run
ming over them every day of their
stay in the woods. 1t is not given
to many hunters to have had the
experiences and luck such as fell
to the lot of the gentlemen from
West Bend and Milwaukee.
Without a doubt there are many
doubters of the stories which Mr..
Yahr and Mr.. Olson are now
telling to friends in their home
towns. But we who know, can
vouch for the truth of the above
statements.

A PREACHER IN CAMP
Greenhorn's Impression OF
Hunting Camp = Assistant
News Editor Takes Trip.

The dominic and his spouse
were invited to a dinner last Mon
day evening at the Morgan-Mene-
fee hunting camp. Accordingly
taking Mrs. NJ. as guide we start
ed after our days work was done
for our 20 mile drive in the woods.
We arrived in the heart of the
Tamarack country after dark.
This precluded sightseeing. We
were not concerned abou {
that anyway.
On a bluff overlooking Joyce
lake we saw the lights of three
cottages where the editor and his
group make their camp. The gem
ial and energetic owners showed
us hearty welcome and conduct
ed us to the cottage used jointly
as sitting room and bunkhOuse.
We noted the honey appearance
of the place. Rugs, curtains and
brick-a-brac in the living end and
two tiers of three-wide beds in
the bunk end. After introduc-
tions, for besides the Morgan
boys-Percy, Arthur and Donald
three other gentlemen, A. C..
Larson, state manager of the
Central Life Assurance Society of
Madison and Alex Yahr, and A. B.
Olson, former principal of Eagle
River High School, we were set
at ease to await the sounding of
the dinner horn. We did not have
to wait long. We next were con-
Quoted to the kitchen-dining-
cabin. Here a big, square table
was filled with appetizing food,
the central and main dish being
heaped up with steaks of veni-
son. Venisonl venison which the
old patriarch Isaac would have
given another blessing for had he
been present. The spirit of the
patriarch was distributed this
time, only that a double portion"
was given each one. Especially
did the man of the cloth and his
partner relish this fresh meat of
the woods. Other accessories of
the menu were too numerous for
a mere missionary to name. But,
here's to the chef, Walter Gan
der Sr.; may his cooking days new
er end, nor his genial serving
ceasel
Along with the generous out
lay, good cooking, genial serving,
there was a spirit of fine cordial
ity and witty repartee. We
should have said that with Mrs.
Editor and Mrs. Preacher there
was also another present, the ed
itor's daughter Winnie, who help
ed spice the conversation.
The meal over, we were shown
the other cottage where hung a
deer already in process of EXTERN
nation in feeding the campers
and guests. Back again to the
living cottage, more conversation
Of the camp and city, of woods
and church.
Thanks, Mr.. Editor. We have
changed our mind about camps
and camping, except of course,
that this may be one of the ex-

Did you see in a current magazine the
following on the back cover page, "see
inside pages 6S and Co.? And If you
did, it is safe to predict that you
turned Immediately to those pages in
quest of something new and startling.
Such is the lure of the advertisements Of
today that they are as eagerly read as is
the news of the more solid reading
matter prepared for the general reading
public
Those who are presenting the output
of the worlds work are using every at
tractive and alluring means possible to
catch the public eye. So enticing are
the average advertisements, not only in
reading matter but in art, that many
persons look forward to the coming
current periodicals with an interest akin
to real pleasure
That every legitimate means to hold
public interest is being used by agents
whose business 1t is to write advertising,
is evident in the attractive, well-written
and competent styles being used today.
Nothing seems TO have escaped them.
They have studied human nature at close
range and from every angle, have delved
into psychology, have provided them
selves with an elaborate vocabulary and
are now appealing to curiosity to call
attention to their wares
One wonders and is fairly startled at
the prices paid for the pages Of the peri
odicals and newspapers for advancing the
sale of merchandise, yet that it pays can
not be questioned. The weekly or month

to contain some well known face or figure

happiness.
Pages "68 and &c. doubtless caught
the eyes Of many men as well as women,
for while 1t has been a tradition that
womans curiosity will carry her far
yet it is safe to say that men too, wanted
to see what pages "68 and 60" held for
them.
1t may be that since advertising men
and women, those who live by their abil-
ity to attract a reading public, have
found that truth in advertising pays and
have organized themselves into a great
international body for the Advancement
of their customers interests, that we
shall still see greater strides made in
this endeavor to enlist the worlds inter
