BUSINESS EXHIBITS

An interesting display to every poul
try grower was the booth Of Behn
Bros, Sheet Metal Works in which
they showed feeding and watering de-
vices, sanitary nests and many things
tending to make the poultry business
more profitable to the owners.
The automobile business was well
represented with exhibits of differ
ent models of the Oakland, Chevrolet
and Star automobiles.
One of the striking displays made
on the grounds was a miniature cot
tage built by the Wisconsin, Michigan
Lbr. Co., and calling attention to their
ability to furnish any thing in lumber
and builders supplies.

ture replica of Normandy Court, OLAF

ment and praise at the Outdoor Life

INDIAN EXHIBIT is
WORTHY FEATURE


The Lac du Flambeau Indian fair
was an added attraction at the county
lair this year. Heretofore it has been
customary for the Indians to hold a
fair of their own every year Oh the
&C du Eambeau reservation but this
year it was discontinued and the In
dams brought their exhibits over for
the county show.
The Indian fair has always been a
source of attraction and that interest
was none the less manifest this year
1t was housed in large tent directly
at the entrance Of the grounds, where
in was shown a very complete exhibit
of the work of the reservation Indians
in birch bark, bead work, leather
goods, weaving, basketry and products
of the housewives art, and farm and
garden.
The weaving, basketry, needlework,
etc. was in charge of Mrs. j. B. Muir
ray, wife of the missionary to the In
dams on the reservation The farm
products we're in charge of Agency
Farmer Hatch. It was a splendid show
ing in all lines-one fully calculated
to give all who saw it a better idea of
the arts and pastimes practiced by the
dusky-skinned natives of the North
Woods
At the farther end of the fair
grounds, was the Indian village, where
tribal dances, Indian games and home
life of the red men we're portrayed.
This proved an interesting and attrac
tive feature of the fair
Whoever is responsible for securing
the cooperation Of the Indians in join
ing their white brothers at the county
fair deserves much credit It is a fea-
ture worthy of much space every year
and now that the start has been made
we would like to see it continued
every year.

Three Lakes Bank Is
Now ReOrganized; Open
NEW INSTITUTION WILL OPEN
ITS DOORS TO THE PUBLIC
NEXT WEDNESDAY

Three Lakes business men and citi
zens of that community have organic
ed new bank called the Peoples
State Bank of Three Lakes, and its
opening to the public will take place
next week Wednesday, September II
tn, says the Rhinelander Daily News.
Some time ago the State Bank of
Three Lakes closed its doors upon
demand made the state by the stock
holders. This was made necessary by
the financial condition of the bank
brought about by the lack of bust
ness methods adequate to the perfect
operation Of such an institution I'M
der former management It was found
by the stockholders and officials elect
ed a year ago, that there would have
to be re-shaping in order for the
bank to continue These men after
hard labor to save the bank, asked
for its closing.
Since that time an effort has been
kept up to put in operation a bank
for the people and not for individ-
uals," as several citizens have stated
and at meeting held in Three Lakes
yesterday the organization Of the
Peoples State Bank of Three Lakes
was affected and sufficient capital
subscribed for its operation under
state supervision.
The following men are behind the
institution:
F. H. Dobbs, president; Frank Ken.
nedy vice-president; F. S. Leary,
cashier
Directors: f. III. Dobbs, F. S. Leary
Frank Kennedy, H. M. Olkowski
James Nelson, L. A. Bishop, B. M
Louk.
Invitations are being sent out for
the opening of the new bank on Wed
nesday, September 18th. The officers
and stockholders have purchased the
bank building and fixtures of the de
funct State Bank and will be "at
home" next Wednesday.

POULTRY DEPARTMENT

For all those interested in chickens
the poultry department was the center
of activity during the three days OF
the fair. There were not as many en-
tries as last year, partly due to the
fact that the weather was very cold
and many poultry men do not dare
risk their valuable birds in a drafty
tent. We heard several complaints OF
exhibitors whose birds caught cold
and died last fair time.
Next year all the coops will be stan
dard wire exhibition ones, like the
new ones of this year
The department was again in charge
of Mrs. Claude Johnston, an old timer
at the business. Harvey. Nash was as
sistant While it is still too early to
get the entire premium list few OF
the outstanding ones are known.
We noted that first cockere1 and
| first pullet in the Barred Rock class
were very good. They were shown by
Mrs. Stanley Korpal. Barred Rocks
are one of the most difficult for the
fancier to breed. VIM Ko1ehouse won
first young pen.
Occupying a conspicuous place in
the exhibit were Einar Jahnsen's beau
tiful White Rocks. Every breeder OF
white chickens knows how difficult il
is to keep them white. We under
stand that the birds were not washed
but taken directly from the range
We noted, too, the heavy weight oil
his cockerels and pullets, as big as
most full grown birds.
Mrs. Claude Johnston won most OF
the White Wyandotte awards. She
knows her standard from "Kiver tc
Kiver.'
A pen of lively S. G, Anconas be-
longing to Fred Dolanski filled the
air with hen music all day long. This
is the sort of racket that never gives
the chicken man the. earache.
Chas. Adams had a good showing
of Reds, but did not dare to send his
best birds on account of their value
He is figuring on coping some natior
al prizes with these next winter
Harvey Nash exhibited Dark Brown
Leghorns and although his birds
would win in good competition, he
was rather disappointed to find thai
his were the only Brown Leghorns pre-
! sent.
George Rusch was the principal ex
hibitor of Americas Business Hen

their board and lodging by laying an
egg or two.

A little difficulty was experienced

to have a good showing of any breed

your variety is not in the premium

THE NEW ELCHo

With the local population we'll re

Amigo, Green Bay, Milwaukee and
other cities, the village of Elcho was
formerly dedicated last Saturday.
Chas. Fish and his staff were on hand
to greet the visitors. The town was

Vierra's Hawaiians, quintette OF

contributed big share to the amuse

pleased we'll, as was shown by the
numerous encores received at each ap
pearance. So we'll, in fact, that they
have been booked to play at the Eagle
Theatre Saturday evening, and Sunday
morning will play native Hawaiian re
ligious music at the Congregational
church
The Kester.s in aerial trapeze and
comedy horizontal bar acts were good.
Like everything else at the fair, it was
marred some by the wintry weather
but the crowds took that item into con
sideration in their judgment of the
fair.
The merry-go-round was missing
this year, but through no fault of the
management. AS late as Monday of
this week they were resting easy
with the thought in mind that the kid
dies would have all the rides they
wanted, but the amusement concern
failed to show up. incidentally, we
might add that it was the fourth
merry-go-round the fair association
had booked this season.

hibits so that they could remain for

when they had finished there was a

county to feel proud of.
PHELPS WON REMNANT
Chief among the entertainment fea-
lures was the county baseball tourna
ment played between teams from Say
ner. Phelps, State Line, Eagle River
and FIambeau The teams drew for
position which placed Sayner against
Phelps Wednesday morning; State
Line against Eagle River Wednesday
afternoon. Sayner proved easy for
Phelps, the latter winning s to 1.
Eagle River rounded up a team of old
timers for the occasion and gave
State Line a close run for their mon.
ey, the final score being 8 to 2 in
favor of the border boys.
Thursday morning Phelps and Flam
beau mixed it, the mill town boys
shutting out the Indians 6 to 0. That
left Phelps and State Line as final
contenders for the 500 purse and pen
nant, which game was played Thurs
day afternoon. Both teams were load
ed for the fray. State Line was bolster
ed up with a bunch of Crandon men
and Phelps had signed up Paul, Ewald
and Bowker of Eagle to strengthen
their game From the start it looked
like State Line, they punching four
runs in the early part of the game.
However Phelps crept up on them and
by, the time the eighth inning was
reached the score was a tie, four all.
Then Bowker drove a singer through
the pitcher and that man attempted
to stop it barehanded, with the result
that he broke a finger in the attempt
and was forced out of the game. That
left State Line in bad hole. With
out pitcher their chances of winning
were slim. Then squabble arose and
out of the melee Phelps merged vic
torious by State Lines forfeiture OF
the game. 1t was horrible weather for
baseball. Too cold for both players
and fans, but the tournament proved a
good feature of the fair and next year
it will probably be enlarged upon and
made a permanent feature.

adopted nine children, all girls. ana
all of whom were proving clever and

The adorable age-from birth to two

from twelve to sixteen years, the effer-

twenty-one to forty years.

WILD DUCKS STARVING.
With Feeding Grounds Ice Bound,
Hundreds are Dying,

Hundreds of in-shore feeding
ducks, like the black ducks, have
starved to death along the eastern
Maine coast the past few weeks, their
feeding grounds over the flats being
covered by ice The bodies of dozens
of birds, wasted to mere skin and
feathers, have been picked up at
Hancock Point, and what is true of
this small section of the coast is true
of long stretches of the broken coast
line of Maine, so that the number of
birds that have persisted will doubt
less run into the thousands.
Many birds have sought the open
stretches of the rivers. In Ellsworth
everyone has noticed the increased
number of sheldrake american and

forgotten in the necessity Of finding
food
At Hancock Point the feeding of
the ducks is saving hundreds. Repre-
sentative j. Sherman Douglas of La
moine was the first to call attention
to the matter in this section, and en-
listed the efforts of r H. Young, the
veteran guide, of South Hancock. Mr.
Young, finding that the report of
starving birds was true, made ar
rangements for feeding. In Skill
ings river there was one small
stretch of open water, freQuented by
a few ducks.
Mr. Young called to his assistance,
Benjamin Homer, who lives near the
shore, and arranged with him to corn
this small piece of open water. Now,
every day, Mr., Homer, with a bushel
of corn. makes his way on skis out
to the open water, and scatters the
corn for the ducks. The first day, a
dozen or so birds found it; the next
day there were fifty: within a week.
it was estimated that a flock of 500
birds was feeding in this one small
stretch of open water
Mr.. Young undertook this feeding
on his own responsibility and at his
own expense, but when the matter
reached the attention of some Of the
summer residents who have been
with Mr. Young on many fishing
trips, he received liberal contribu-
lions for the work, and promises OF
much more if needed
Only a few days of mild weather
will be necessary to relieve the situa-
ton for the ducks, but the feeding
will be continual until their natural
feeding beds are again open to them.
