The Country Band.

One of the best features for a
country town is a brass band. If
YOU can induce the musically IN
clined folks to practice regularly
and Join such an organization,
YOU have an asset that will boom
YOUR town. Country life provides
favorable conditions for develop
ing fine musical organization.
There are not so many diverse IN
terests drawing people in differ
ent directions so that musicians
will not practice regularly.
The open air concerts given by
many country bands draw visit
ors from many miles around
which helps the business interests
of a town. A brass band Is such
an advantage 10 a community that
its business men should be willing
10 subscribe literally to buy mus
ic. provide uniforms, and perhaps
give its members a little substan-
tial reward for their effort.-Hur-

GENE SHEPARD DEAD
Noted Northern Wisconsin
Man Died Yesterday at
Rhinelander-Funeral to be
Held Thursday.

Word was received in Eagle Riv-
er yesterday that Eugene Shepard
died at Rhinelander that day. The
funeral will be held tomorrow
from the home in that city.
Eugene Shepard was a man of
note, insomuch that he was the
first real publicity man of North
ern Wisconsin's resources, agricul-
turally. industrial and recreation
al. He is the one who gave this
section of the state such wide no.
toriety when he builded and eX-
hibited the famed "Hodag,' bring
ing scientific men from all over
the United States to see the
freak animal
He at one time owned and oper-
ated Ferncroft Inn, the resort now
operated by Ole Rismon at Star
Lake. He also was one. who ex-
tolled the many virtues of the
mythical Paul Bunyan who was
claimed to have been the greatest
man in the numbering district of
Wisconsin, Minnesota and the
West.
Mr.. Shepard was over seventy
years of age and had been a long
time resident of Rhinelander.

Gus opportunity lost, says the

titles. Just think of Wisconsin

chief Inspector at $1,000 per year,
an assistant inspector at $1,000
and a lot of deputy inspectors at
S. ger day and travelling expenses.
And incidentally, lot of hen in
spectors might come in handy in
campaign time. But the assem-
bly, killed the bill-and the hens
can keep right on laying eggs of
any old size without going TO Jail
or getting bound out under the
Huber law, like moonshiners do.

LLOYD ON BOBBY BURNS
Noted Chatauqua Lecturer
Pleased His Audience at
Eagle Theatre.

The "Bobbie Burns" lecture Civ
en- by Rev. DIR. John Lloyd of the
local Episcopal church last Friday
evening at the Eagle Theatre was
pronounced success.
The musical program opening
the evenings entertainment con
sisted of selections on the violin
and cornet by Messrs. Walstad and
Fox respectively. and accompanied
by Miss Rose We'll.
To praise DR.. Lloyd as a speak
or is like painting a rose for more
beauty; just superfuous. DIR.
LLOYD now has established him
self by his sermons at his church
as a capable platform orator and
his lecture Friday evening was
well received. The continuous
noise Of the heating-fan in the
basement made hearing difficult
but the speaker seemed TO under
stand his difficulty and made him
self heard 10 all.
DR.. Lloyd's delineation of the
character of "Bobbie Burns" was
true TO his life's story, emphasiz-
ing his poetical power and pas
sing lightly over his weakness for
the cup that cheers. The strong
characteristics of Burns as indi-
Gated seemed 20 be a heart TO
love his country, nature and hu-
manity. DR.. Lloyd recited some
of the well known Burns love
poems and closed with the poem
emphasizing brotherhood and glor-
flying manhood. "A Mans a Man
For A That" The speaker de-
plored the fact that so gifted and
universally loved poet was with
out "a monument even in his own
native land, Scotland. The witt
cisims injected into the lecture
depicting Irish, English an d
Scotch humor gave proper season.

Domak a Candidate.

In publishing the caucus returns
last week of the town of Lincoln,
the name of Nick Domak was in
some manner omitted from the
supervisors to be elected at the
April election next week. The
town of Lincoln elects two super
visors at the spring election, and
the three men elected at the eau
Gus were Jacob Cronquist, James
Bolte and Nick Domak. BOlte and
DOmak both received fifteen votes
and were a tie as to the number
of votes, but as both men are eli
gible to the office on account of
two supervisors being elected in
that town this spring. the tie
meant nothing. Therefore the
voters of the town of Lincoln will
vote for two supervisors and they
will have a choice from three men
in the selection.

HOLD APRIL EGG SHOW
Wisconsin Chicken Fanciers
Have Opportunity to Clean

Meet Next Month.

According to John L. Bumbalek
of Madison, the chicken man or
woman of this section now has
the opportunity of bringing sue
cess and much publicity by enter
ing their eggs at the Fourth An
nual Egg Show, which will be
staged at Madison for Wisconsin
people April II, Is. 10, 1923.
He is of the opinion that Villas
county having cleaned up the
country on spuds; having driven
the chesty exhibitors from down
state off the registered chicken
map, that now is the time TO clean
up first prizes on eggs.
Bumbalek says eggs is eggs,
and many people don't know the
MISUNDERSTANDING all eggs to
be just eggs. In that they are
badly mistaken. There is as much
difference between the eggs from
scrubby, louse-diseased fowl
without any known lineage, and
one of the prime registered or
better grade birds fed on good
wholesome rations as there is be-
tween a down-state carp and a
northern Wisconsin crappie. And
he is sure right.
