BETTER TIMES AHEAD

Prof. E. L. Luther of Madison, sup.
erintendent of farmers Institutes and
district supervisor of the county
agents of this state recently said
that the potato situation outlook is
much better now than for some time
past.
Mr.. Luther declares that there is
no question but that all certified seed
stock will be disposed of at a profit
able figure. He says that those farm
ers who really have good stuff, wheth
er hogs, cattle, sheep or potatoes have
made good and have no complaint to
make. But the men who persist in
keeping common ordinary stock and
who have only products of inferior
grade of which to dispose lose out.
Mr. Luther believes that times are
improving noticeably all over the coun
try and that if farmers are dissatisfied
with labor conditions so are other en-
ployers of labor. There is a shortage
of help in all lines. Prices for farm
products are advancing and there is
better outlook than there was last
fall.

FoRDsoNs IN DEMAND

Both agriculture and industry are
making Increasing demands for the
Fordson tractor
While the use of the Fordson as a
farm implement is extending in every
agricultural section of the country
as farmers come to realize the adj
vantages and economy of power
farming, a most noticeable feature of
the sales is the growing use of this
sturdy and dependable power plant in
industrial and commercial activities.
Contractors and builders are every
where adapting the Fordson to meet
their needs for power, either move
able or stationary, and road engineers
throughout the country are specifying
its use with highway construction
machinery.
To meet this growing demand for
Fordson tractors, production is now
at capacity and for the first three
months Of the year reached total of
27,087 as compared with $40 for the
same period year ago.

Baseball Fans Anxious
to Hear Umpire Shout
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT FOR A
STRONG TEAM THIS YEAR
IN BASEBALL

Eagle River is going to take its
place in the baseball world again
this season and indications are that
it will be there strong with team
able to hold it's own against the best
Of them.
At meeting of the fans held last
week the prospects for q team we're
presented and with the material avail
able those present we're quite enthus-
iastic over the prospects. The matter
Of selecting manager was taken
under advisement until some future
date so that those who are able to
hold that position can be interviewed
as to their willingness to take the
job. VIM. Farrell and Richard White
we're made secretary and treasurer,
which positions they held last year.
Practice will begin soon so that the
team will be in shape to play it's first
game on Memorial Day. In the mean
time a schedule will be arranged so
that fans will have plenty of ball
games to go to this summer.
A good ball team is one of the fac
tors that make alive town. Eagle
River has been fortunate in having
strong baseball teams in the past and
this year will add more to its laurels
in the great game.

American Legion Post
Plans Memorial Day
SPECIAL MEETING CALLED FOR
MONDAY NIGHT TO GET PRO-
GRAM IN SHAPE

Eagle Rivers observance of Memoir
ial Day this year will be in charge of
the local post of the American Legion
A notice has been sent out for spec
ial meeting to be held at the club
rooms next Monday night when de-
tails Of the program will be arranged.
The Legion wants every member to
be out on that day and issues spec
ial invitation TO all service men,
whether Legion members or not, to be
out in uniform TO help swell the ranks
of those who will pay homage to the
nations dead.
Efforts are being made t. secure
an outside speaker through the assis-
lance of the Legion's state headquar-
ters so that Eagle River may proper
ly observe the national day commem-
Grated to those who have given their
lives in their country's service.
Memorial Day brings new signifi-
canoe each year Since the World War
our hero dead has been increased by
thousands, bringing home to a proper
tionAte number of families the true
significance of the day set aside for
their memory. There is no more
touching holiday in our whole caIen-
dar of national days than Memorial
Day and it is well for us who are
blessed with a continuance of life and
health to pause on that day and turn
our thoughts to those whose sacrifice
have made possible the benefits we
enjoy. It is a day when all should lay
aside their everyday affairs and in
the true community spirit get together
to revere those whose lives were given
for their country.
Primarily in thinking of Memorial
Day ones thoughts naturally turn to
those who gave their life in the SER
vice of their country. It has greater
significance to many more whose dear
ones have passed away and as such
is q beautiful day of commemoration
for all those who have departed this
life. It is a time when our thoughts
turn to higher things and its proper
observance makes us the better for it.
Let us cooperate with the Legion
and help them prepare program that
will be fitting for the day.

IMPROVE ROAD MARKERS

The Wisconsin Highway commits
sion expects to change gradually from
the telephone markers to standard
markers erected along the shoulder of
the road They will consist of cedar
posts projecting about four feet above
the ground, the bottom portion paint
ed black for about Is inches above the
ground, and the balance white and
containing the standard trunk high
way marker.
A similar post will be erected at
each of all federal aid projects, show
ing the number of the project, the
length and the year in which it was
built. In addition this post will carry
the standard trunk highway marker
the same as the other posts.
Signs were erected at the limits of
all cities and villages in 1922, show
ing the name of the town entered and
its population This year we will show
the name of the next town and the
distance to it, on the reverse side of
the sign. This information will thus
be available to travellers when leav-
ing.
During the season, it is planned to
erect signs at practically all lakes and
streams that the trunk highways pass
giving the name of such lake or
stream.

CELEBRATED ANNIVERSARY

Six auto loads of neighborhood
friends swooped down on Loon Lake
Farm Saturday evening, bringing
with them all the necessary adjuncts
for a successful social evening. the
occasion being the eleventh anniver-
sary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
e. F. Brunswick, the surprised hosts.
After explanations had been made as
to the nature Of the surprise the even
ing was spent in a social manner and
concluded with a bounteous spread
brought by the guests. This is another
of a series of neighborly gatherings
that have livened up the Evergreen
district in the town of Lincoln this
season-a fine example of community
spirit.

Three Lakes Will Soon
Have Light and Power
WORK ON TRANSMISSION LINE
WILL BE PUSHED TO
RAPID FINISH

With the opening of the roads and
good weather in sight work on the
new high tension transmission line
between Eagle River and Three Lakes
is now started and will be pushed to
a finish, giving the residents of the
neighboring town on the south all the
benefits of electric current for light
and power purposes. Rob Peterson of
the Peterson Electric Shop of Marsh
field, Wisconsin, is in charge of the
construction work on the new line,
that company having secured the con-
tract to build it. At present Mr.. Peter
sen and his crew are doing interior
wiring work on residences and bust
ness places in Three Lakes.
The new line will hook on to the
Everett line about a mile and half
east of town. At the present time the
survey is being made and stakes set
for planting the poles Laying out the
new line will necessitate the moving
of some sections of the Eagle River
Telephone Company's line along the
route, the construction of high tension
lines requiring an equidistant spacing
between the two lines in order to
overcome any interference with tele-
phone service This work will be done
as the new line progresses.
e Oh
bonded itself to raise funds to con-
struct the transmission line. Complet-
ed the line will represent an invest
ment of approximately $10,5OO, which
includes the street lighting system for
the town. From the point where the
new line branches off the Everett line
the distance is about ten miles.
Indications point to a great demand
for light and power from the Three
Lakes line. Already enough consum-
ers have signified their desire to util-
ize the current when it becomes avail
able and it is very probable that sew
eral branch extensions will be cut in
reach some of the outlying sections
near that village.
The citizens OF. Three Lakes in vot-
ing bond issue to construct the trans
mission line did wise thing, It gives
them the benefit of electric light and
power at reasonable rates, something
which they could not have hoped for
at the present time from any plant
they might build locally.
Present plans Indicate that The
Everett line will be completed within
the next ten days. Work of planting
the poles was started last fall and this
week the wiring crew will finish up
their work which means that the cur
rent will be turned on in plenty of
time to take care of the patrons needs
this season. The Everett line will
serve the resorts and private homes
in the Catfish lake region.

leased and it is the company's inten-
ton to construct small brick office
building filling up the space between
the two buildings. Mgr. C. Howard
Olmsted expects to start work in the
near future, some of the material be-
ing on the ground now.

F. A. CANNON TELLS ABOUT THE
HIGHWAY SITUATION IN THE
LEGISLATURE

At the outset some erroneous inn
pressions and few basic facts regard
ing the highway situation should be
stated
The total sum asked for distictly
state highway purposes is S6,50O,00O
In addition to this there is 1885,, 900
state aid going directly to the cou1l-
ties ana Sl,2OO,OOO motto license fees
returned directly to the counties.
The statement has been given wide
publicity that $37,OO0,OOO was spent
last year on the rural highways If
Wisconsin, and the erroneous lnlpress
sion got abroad that the state was re-
sponsible. The state had nothing to do
with most Of this expenditure, which
we're town road expenditures local
county bond issue expenditures, al d
other local expenditures approximate
ing $SO.C03,cOO.
There is no demand or intention of
increasing state highway expenses. In
fact, they will be cut down somewhat
SO far as local highway expenditures
are concerned, the state has no au-
thority.
There is an agreement among all
the bills in the legislature that the
state should continue it's share aid
program, should meet the federal aid
and continue the patrol maintenance.
The only change asked is that the
motor vehicle shall pay a larger share
of the cost of maintenance and con-
struction relieving general property
of that amount
With this preliminary statement to
remove some misapprehension it is
well to state some basis facts before
discussing highway bills. There is a
general agreement that the state
should meet the federal aid of $2200-
900 year for the next three years.
If we don't meet it it is turned over
to other states. In the past it has been
met by a general property tax and all
of the bills in the legislature provide
that in the future it shall be met by
funds provided by motor vehicles.
1t is. also agreed in all the bills pend
ing in the legislature that the $685.
600 state aid should continue and
raised from motor vehicle imposts in
stead of being taken from the gener-
al fund. This is only fair to those
roads which are on the prospective
state aid system and on which no
funds have been spent. 1t is further
agreed that the motor vehicle license
Shall pay for maintenance state
trunk highway patrol maintenance and
county maintenance. The counties
last fall voted $1,S00,O00 in taxes to
make up the deficit This year there
will be $4,500,000 available for that
purpose, which is sufficient. Then
there are other items such as state
aid for large bridges, 100000 the Sec
rotary of states cost of administra-
ton about $24O,OOO the overhead of
the highway department $1680OO and
$4,000 for surveys to locate road ma
terials for state and county use.
This in brief is the proposed state
road program. All the items are neces
sary. The cutting out of any of the
major items would badly hamper con-
tinuing the program.
In the next article will be discussed
the proposed methods of raising the
funds and the allotment A. Can
