BUCK LAW WILL STAND
Governor Did Not Sign Bill
Killing One Buck Law
Can Hunt This Fall.

Governor Blaine by refusing to
sign a proposed bill on game has
given Wisconsin hunters the OPP
portunity to hunt buck deer this
fall. Here is what the new law
would have done:
This proposed law would prohib-
it all deer shooting in 1923 and
would permit an open season on
both does and bucks during even
numbered years. The present sta
tute permits hunters to have one
buck each year.
The state conservation opposes
the change from the one-buck law,
according to R. S. Scheibel, secre-
tary. 1t is the belief of the COM
mission that an added toll of hum
an lives will accompany the deer
season if hunters are permitted to
shoot animals without first deter
mining whether they are bucks.
Too many people are prone to
shoot on sight when they see
something moving in the woods,
the commission says. The one-buck
law acts as a deterrent at the pres
ent time by requiring some obser-
walton before the shooting. Re
move this deterrent and the num-
Der of accidental killings of hui
man beings will increase, the sec
rotary of the state department
declares.

HAVE A HOMECOMING
Arbor Vitae Old Time Resi-
dents Garry Out Splendid
Visitation.

A very jovial gathering of old
timers with their younger off
spring made merry at a 4th Of
July homecoming at Andrew Sew
ersons High Bank Resort at Arbor
Vitae. They represented the once
industrious element of the lumber
village of twenty to thirty years
ago, when work was a pleasure
duty and labor troubles were un-
thought of. When the village was
at its height in lumber production
and each laborers aim was to out
do his fellow man in producing.
each one had his allotted work to
do and did it unlinchingly. Good
will reigned supreme The village
was sort of a world to itself.
They worked, ate, slept day in and
day out with an occasional bit of
Jollty-dance or Sunday picnic to
break the monotony. Automobiles
were then unheard of and vacation
a word not in the village vocabu-
larry.
This 4th of July, twenty to- thir-
ty years later, saw happy gather
ing of those people assembled on
the beautiful High Bank, summer
home of Mr.. Severson to enjoy a
day of picnic and rehearsal of
old times. They came from far
and near. Autos loaded with provis-
ion and jolly crowd to review
the remains of the once busy lum-
bering village now transformed
into place of summer recreation.
No saw mill whistles to disturb
the quiet of the day. Jollity reign
ed supreme.
Chris. Chilson of White Lake,
Wis. was the sponsor for the gath
ering, and to him all credit is due
for this get-together of the old
timers.
There were the Chilsons, Paul
sons, Falks, Mitchels, Sawyers, De
Horns from White Lake, with Pete
Peterson and John Doran as their
speaker and Miss Bessie Reece, sec
rotary; the Sorensons from Park
Falls, the Moquins and Lenharts
from Phelps; Sorensons, Jorgesons
and Andersons from Winchester;
Axle Anderson of Hazelhurst, JON
as Hall and Mike Stafford, from
Rhinelander, in full force; the
Traps, Cherries, Zastrows, Davis
and Falk from Arbor Vitae; and
from far away Fl. Francis, Canada,
came the Cousineau boys. The
day was one long to be remember
ed in jollity and Renaissance.
1t has been suggested that Chris.
Chilson of White Lake assume the
responsibility for a get-together
at that same place on a date when
more of the old timers can be
present, as in this instance, the
notice was too short and the num-
Der present should be doubled

Well Attended Meetings.

There is widespread interest be-

county.
Meetings were held last We'd
nesday at Phelps; Thursday and
Friday in Eagle River; Saturday

The state has surely given a
great blessing to humanity in the
rural districts by the sending out
of this special for the benefit of
young children. AS it is a free
movement the interest taken in
the work by parents is truly won
derful.

the character of 1t, Bishop Mcdowell
said. 1t is not simply unfortunate
and ignorant. Its deep primary need
is the need OF a redeemer who can
redeem It from evil.
Right to He Strong.
'fWe have no right to thank God
that we are strong unless we are
ready to use our strength in a Christ
like way" Bishop Mcdowell said.
I'VE dare not thank God that we are
rich If we are also selfish and mean
with our riches. We dare not thank
God for the fullness of our national
and personal life If we rejoice in our
fatness and close our eyes and hearts
to the lean and starving sons of men
on our Fathers earth. We cannot
thank God for our power and posses
sions unless we have also. as Jesus
had, the sacrifcial spirit"

Tells Rotarians No Other

Reason for Gratitude.

That no people on earth have more
TO be grateful for than Americans at
this Thanksgiving season was brought
home to members Of the Rotary Club
by Rabbi Abram Simon in an addres
before the organization in the New
Willard Hotel yesterday.
Americans should be the most
grateful people in the world today,
and they should be happy and con-
tented. not for what they have. but
for what they are" he declared.
Touching on educational conditions

the nation was now in the sixth

that time illiteracy will be wiped out

TURKEY PRICES FIRM.
WITH STRONG DEMAND

Washington housewives who yes
terday paid increased prices for tur-
keys today have the satisfaction of
believing Christmas prices will be
cheaper. though the demand for tur-
keys yesterday was great enough to
deplete supplies of dealers, and there
were few to be purchased this morn
ing.
1t was stated today that some buy
ers had paid as much as 10 cents a
pound for turkeys last night, a price
far in excess of the wholesale price,
1t is stated, the increased price re-
sulting from the shortage of supplies.
There was much of what dealers
call scrub stock" on the marke t
last night. and prices for such stock
dropped as low as 25 cents. Today s
wholesale price was reported at 40
and 80 cents
Dealers say the shortage OF sup
plies for the present holiday season
resulted from failure Of turkey
| railers in Maryland and Virginia to
engage in q wholesale slaughter of
! the fiocks. They probably were de-
| tered by reports that millions of
pounds Of cold storage turkeys
would keep prices down.
1t is reported that some raisers
shipped to northern markets, where
prices dropped much lower than
local prices, and lost money. 1t is
believed by dealers that turkeys will
be more plentiful and cheaper dur
ing the Christmas holiday season.
They also believe they will be more
plentiful during the intervening sea-
son.

BISHOP APPEALS

Rt. Rev. James T.. Freeman, Bishop
of the Episcopal Diocese of Washing

OF those time-honored range finders"
that have been the guide marks of
the nation in the whole course of its
history, in sermon at Thanksgiving
services held today at the Church of
the Epiphany. The services, held at
1890 am, followed the celebration of
holy communion at o'clock.

clared Bishop Freeman. president

striking little book entitled, Have
