John loud Drowned in
Vieux Desert Friday
WELL KNOWN SUMNER RESORT
MAN VICTIM or OPEN WATER
in viEUX DESERT

John Joud. 81, owner of the Edge
water Beach summer resort on Lac
Vieux Desert met death by drowning
in the waters of that lake sometime
during the afternoon of Friday, Dec
ember 81
Mr.. Joud had been fishing through
the ice alone over near the island and
had apparently started for home and
walked into open water. Upon his
failure to return at supper time Mrs.
Joud notified neighbors and search
was started. Saturday morning the
searchers found where he had been
fishing, his lines still being intact,
and followed his trail back toward the
resort and found where it went into
the open water, a lane from four to
twelve feet wide extending from
Joud's resort in a circular course to
the island. This open stretch of
water is. a popularity of Lac Vieux
Desert this season that; people ac-
quainted with the lake say has never
existed before. In going to his fish
ing grounds Mr.. Joud circled the lake
in order to avoid the open water. In
returning he apparently forgot about
its existence, or as some are inclined
to believe suffered an attack of ILL
ness and was hurrying toward home
The body was recovered about two
o'clock Sunday afternoon in twelve
feet of water A watch carried by him
was found to have stopped at $40.
which may have been the time the
fatality occurred
Coroner Denton was called to the
scene and the body removed to Eagle
River where it was prepared for ship
ment to Chicago, Mrs Joud accom-
panying it Monday morning.
Mr. Joud was one of the pioneers
on Lac vieux Desert, he having set
tied there some eighteen years ago
establishing resort that annually
drew a large patronage of summer
people. A few years ago he sold his
original resort to w. H. Love, who
conducted it for a few seasons under
the name of the Hillside Resort.
Later Mr. Joud built another resort
adjoining his former property, known
as Edgewater Beach which he orer-
ated at present.
Mr.. Joud was born in Germany
January IA, 1872. His wife is the only
immediate relative surviving, they
having no children. Through his
business as a summer resort proprie-
tor he claimed wide acquaintance in
the lake region and among city peopls
who were his guests, all Of whom
extend deepest sympathy to the wild
ow in her grief
Mr.. Joud was a member Of the
Masonic order.

CARNIVAL ASSURES
II. S. OF RADIO SET
HIGH SCHOOL CARNIVAL HELD
AT HIGH SCHOOL DEC. 18th
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS

Wednesday evening, Dec. 10. all
paths led to the new High School
building where the students and teach
ers presented a picturesque carnival
The popularity Of this means Of rails
ing money for public institution is
without question. The praise for the
successful work of the students in the
various departments of the carnival is
due to the perseverance of the stu
dents themselves under the efficient
leadership of the teachers.
It seems that the ambitions of the
pupils Of our High School to purchase
a radio are surely to be satisfied,
Judging by the financial returns re-
ceived from the Carnival given last
Wednesday evening.
The Carnival started with lunch
at $50 in the afternoon. 1t consisted
of a "Trip thru many Lands" A num-
Der of beautifully decorated booths
representing various countries such
as Japan, Holland, Italy and America
were conveniently situated in the
Gymnasium Tables and Chairs were
also placed in the center of the gym
so the lunch was served in the regular
Cafeteria style. After the lunch the
crowd attended the show in the main
auditorium which consisted of one
act farce entitled Hans Won Smash"
and of the Alabama Jubilee Min
strels." The play was well rendered;
Harry We'll as the Dutchman and
Chas. Thorpe as Mr.. Prettyman the
Dude deserve special mention for
carrying their characters to perfection
The Minstrel also was well rendered
considering the musical ability and
musical training of some of the chief
actors. VIM. Ketz Orval Hunter and
Roland Fenton as the "Ukelele Trio
John Ferguson as the coon Jigger,
"Swede" Hedberg and Ronald Bent as
''Dinah' were the Star performers.
After the show the crowd retired
to the gym to participate in the Jit-
I.ney Dance, the music for which was
furnished by Miss Margaret McGrego1
and Ronald Adams. They also took in
the Fountain of Youth" Popcorn
and Candy Fortune Telling, Cur
iosity, and Parcels Post" booths
Both financially and also socially
for those who entered into the spirit
of it the Carnival was great success
The total receipts of the evening were
s15145 Due to the generosity of the
Eagle River business men the expen
ses were small so that the receipts
were almost net profit. The people OF
Eagle River have always patronized
he High School affairs exceptionally
well and we want to express oul
thanks to all of them both for patroni
zing the Carnival and for furnishing

GOOdfeuOWS Tell Santa
Where to Find KiddieS
CHILDREN OF THE COMMUNITY
ARE REMEMBERED BY SANTA
CLAUS CHRISTMAS DAY

One hundred and seven children
know without question that there is
a Santa Claus, because each of that
number received brand new toy ON
Christmas morning plainly marked
From Santa Claus" all due to the Ell
forts of the local Good Fellows club
who made it a point to see that Santa
got the names and addresses OF the
deserving youngsters living near
Eagle River.
1t was mighty fine manifestation
of the Christmas spirit -somelnlns
that rebounds to the benefit of the
glyer as well as the receiver
Those toys, all brand new, went in
to families containing from two to
eleven children, families that the do
nors knew would be in no position to
give each and every child token of
the holiday season.
And it was no hit-and-miss affair of
giving either. The list Of names show
ed the age of each boy and girl, and
Santa had no trouble in picking from
his pack just the gift that every boy
and girl wanted.
It. wasn't our good fortune to be
present at the joyous awakening on
Christmas morning at each inulsldual
home, but well take it for granted
that there were some merry scenes
around the Christmas trees in the
homes of those one hundred and seven
children.
Christmas is prominently the
children's season. Its very beginning
was founded in the alteration of the
Christ child. Down through the cen
turtles it has ever been and in the cen
turtles to come will always be the
season of the child. Eager eyes ex-
pecsant faces and the merry shouts
of the little ones give the true Christ
mas setting. Older folks can and do
enjoy the Christmas season thorough
ly, but theirs is different enjoy
ment than that of childhood's happy
hours
1t is a wonderful thing to make a
child happy and doubly wonderful
thing to bring that happiness on
Christmas morning.
The Good Fellows have established
a precedent for Eagle River-one of
the worthiest acts of christian fell
lowship. Let's keep it UP from year to
year. It's a revelation of the true
Christmas spirit making others hap

SANG CHRISTMAS CAROLS

The junior choir of the Congrega-
tional church upheld the time honor
ed custom Of carol singing Christmas
Eve, by visiting the shut-ins and
others and rendering appropriate
Christmas selections near the mid
night hour at various places about
town. 1t is a pretty custom-one that
brings back memories of the Christ
mas seasons of long ago. Many local
people who came from countries
where carol singing is a Christmas
feature as well established as the
Christmas tree, expressed their full
appreciation of the young folks sing
ing.

TWENTY-THREE FAMILIES RE-
cEIVE CHRISTMAS CHEER

Christmas comes but once a year,
and when it comes it brings good
cheer
That little rhyme, simple as it is;
unadorned with the flowery language
of the poets, sums up the whole spirit
Of the Christmas season.
Good cheer the act of giving unto
others brings the greatest JOY at all
zines and the Christmas just gone has
seen its share of the true Christmas
spirit.
Along in the early part of the month
December 9Th, to be exact, the Eagle
River Woman's Club secured the best
local talent and staged Charity Con-
cert at the high school changing .fif-
ty cents admission. 1t was an excel
lent concert in keeping with the
splendid motive that prompted its
preparation. From the sale of tickets
the sum of $84OO was realized to be
used as benefit for the needy fam
lies of the community.
Twenty-three such families living
around about the community were
listed by the sponsors of the charity
concert. Their home conditions and
wants were Investigated and to them

IF WINTER COMES, is

OLD RESIDENTS TELL OF WIN
TER LIKE PRESENT. ONE A
HALF CENTURY AGO.

During long and cold winters we
often hear the old-ti1ners tell Of the
winter of so and so, when the snow
was ten feet deep, and for days at a
time there was no communication,
and the thermometer went down so
low that it couldn't register the de-
gree of cold; but we don't often hear
about the long summer i'm this coun-
try. This year, however, may be the
exception, and we have already heard
one. Judge Parsons, who came to
Langlade county and started to farm
when there wasn't much but woods,
said forty-six years ago they had a
season just like this, and he spent

CHRISTMAS MAIL HEAVY

The United States postal depart
ment, first aid to Santa Claus knows
what the Christmas rush means, and
the local office is no exception to the
rule. This year the Eagle River post
office handled the greatest volume of
mail and parcel post in it's history.
We are indebted to Clerk Fred Wolfer
for the following figures, covering the
re-Christmas week:
"A total number of 848 sacks were
handled from Monday, December II,
to Monday December "a; also about
100 outside parcels, that is, parcels
that are too bulky or large to get into
mail sack, and the letter and Christ
mas card mail was about one half
again as much as last year"
This volume of business handled by
the regular force, consisting of Post
master John Zimpelmann and Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Wolfer, meant lots of over
time work for them and they facili
tated delivery by opening the office
evenings and Sunday morning. Tc
them is due little consideration fol
their help in making everybody
Christmas day complete with the
exchange of Christmas sentiment, by
their prompt delivery of all mail and
| packages on time.

The Christmas of 1923 will go down
as one Of the mildest from the wealth
ermans view point, in many years,
climaxing fall and early winter that
have been remarkable for their good
weather. 1t was practically green
Christmas, there being barely enough
snow to mention Friday it rained and
later turned into slushy snow. Most
of that has disappeared and roads are
high and dry at present, although at
this writing wednesday, afternoon
it begins to look as though we are in
for our first real snowstorm of the
season.
1t has been an exceptional fall for
wood cutting and hauling. Also great
weather for the skaters, that sport
starting in before Thanksgiving and
lasting up until few days ago. From
now on the loggers would welcome
snow 50 that hauling can begin and
woods work can get the start that has
been delayed at least a month
In temperature the season has been
all that one could ask. The mercury
has reached the zero mark but a very
few times, which makes a great diff
ference to the man who has to look
out for the woodpile.
