 The building promoter was given a partial contract for the auditorium by vote of four to one at 8 session of the city commissioners last Fri day. His bid of s191,O0O was de- clared by Commissioner W. E. Dick son, in charge of the project, to be $10. $50 less than the next lowest. This contract was awarded on motion of Commissioner Dickson and over the protest and negative vote of Commits sioner W. L. Harrison. The latter commissioner stated that Mir. Ma nasco was not a regular contractor and that he thought the commission ought to conduct further investiga- tion.
 Following numerous inquiries by labor representatives and other indi- viduals MT. Manasco said that union labor Will probably be used Tn the construction of the auditorium. He said that three or four firms now being considered for subcontracts employ union labor exclusively and that he would recommend that such labor be used regardless of who re- ceived the contracts. The building promoter Sunday also said that he was not worried about reports said %1 f.o fr< A.o la h., of Commerce and into which, it was announced, an investigation will be made.

"One Trick a Day"
THE CHARMED WALKING STICK

THE CHARMED WALKING STICK
 Get two black pins and piece of black silk thread about a yard long. Tie one of the pins on each end of the string, and fasten the pins into the cloth of the trousers under each knee. The line should hang loosely between the knees, invisible to the spectators, and so that walking may not be interefered with.
 Sit down at some distance from the company and spread your knees so as to tighten the silk thread.
 Now take walking stick and rest 1t against the silk and it will remain stationary, at almost anyle. The operator should increase the illusion by making magic passes with his hands, and if this trick is done care fully, in position where the silk is not visible, it Is extremely mystify- ing, for the cane stands or changes its position at your will without any apparent support.

PICTURES OF $500 YEARS AGO.
Reproductions of Photographs Taker
in the Tomb of King Tut
Ankh-Amen in This Issue

Have you ever tried to picture for
yourself the civilization that existed
before the time of David, second king
of Israel? Have you tried to imagine
the kind of clothes people wore $500
years ago, the kind of furniture they
used?
Over in Egypt, in the valley of the
Nile, there was recently opened the
tomb of Pharoh Tut-Ankh Amen, the
ruler of Egypt, $500 years ago, and
inside this tomb there was found vast
quantities of things that picture the
civilization of the ancient world
It is a rare privilege for The Review
to present to our readers this week q
series of pictures taken inside this
tomb, showing the many interesting
objects which it contained. In these
pictures you will see much Of the
story of that ancient civilization
which passed away more than a thous
and years before the birth of Christ,
civilization that ante-dates the pyra-
mids by several hundred years.
In these pictures you will find much
that is of intense interest, and you
will add to your own interest in the
subject by talking about them with
your friends and neighbors.

A preliminary forecast of the prob

of Crop Estimates at Washington.
These figures show probable plant
ing of 146,750 acres for the spring of
1923 as against 190,379 acres for the
season of 1922. This is a decrease of
approximately $4,000 acres which
should be large enough to give some
advantage to the late northern states
during the latter part of the present
shipping season.

SAM E HERE

This is the time of the year when
we make our resolutions for the new
year.
Let one Of these resolutions be that
if it is possible to buy goods of a home
merchant for ten per cent more than
you would have to pay for the same
goods if you sent for them that you
would patronize the home fellow.
There are a lot of reasons why you
should do this.
/. He helps you pay the taxes of
the state, county and town in which
he lives.
He helps keep up your schools
and churches.
You can get the good yat walt
bu calling at his place of business.
If you are deserving of credit
you can get it of your friend the home
merchant.
On the other hand
Does a catalogue house help you pay
your taxes?
Did you ever have catalogue house
i've you any money to help you when
you needed it to fix up the church?
Does a catalogue house help better
your schools?
Can you get the goods you want of
catalogue house the day you give
the order?
Can you get credit of your catalogue
house?
Is not the balance on the Home
Dealers side of the ledger worth ten
per cent to you?
Eagle River has the reputation
of being live town and it is kept
that way by the merchants. They give
you value received for the dollar you
spend and down in your heart you
are glad you live near our city and
can go there to trade.
Now because you can recall one par
ticuIar instance where we or some
other dealer has charged you more
than we ought for goods purchased
of us do not condemn us without first
looking on the other side Of the ledger
and seeing if that side does not show
where we have sold you goods at
some other time at a price that more
than balances the one you remember
Again, we ask you to resolve to buy
your goods for 1923 of the dealers of
this city and that they are entitled to
fair profit for the service rendered.

WORK FOR NORMAL SCHOOL

In a letter last week to the
Rhinelander New North, Senator
MoranMoran advises a commit
tee to be made up of residents
of Oneida, Villas, Langlade, For
est, Lincoln, Iron, Price and Flor
1ence counties to go to Madison
to work in the interests of the
Rhinelander Normal school bill
when it comes up for hearing.
Considering the fact that the To-
cation Of normal school at
Rhinelander would be of much
advantage to all counties, there
should be no difficulty in secur-
ing a committee Of men to go to
Madison at the proper time and
lend their influence and weight
toward getting the legislators to
go ahead with the project which
has been hanging fire for the
past two or three sessions. Give
Rhinelander a boost for its nor
NAL school.

It should be noted that the methods

This was in 1910 at the Ashland sub

Where found every effort should be
made to prevent it from spreading.

Outlook for Heavy Sale
of Real Estate is Good
REAL ESTATE BROKERS IN CON-
vENTIoN PREDICT VERY
HEAVY PURCHASES

For the first time in two years indi
cations point to activity in the sale OF
farm lands, according to real estate
men,
Many farmers in Wisconsin who
bought land during the tide of high
prices in 1919 nd 1920 were unable to
realize anything on their lands, due
to low prices in grain and other farm
products, want to get out of the farm
ing industry, according to Charles R.
Cady, Green Bay.
The buying of land in the undevel-
oped sections of northern Wisconsin
will exceed that of developed lands
according to G. M. Sheldon, treasurer
of the association. Mr.. Sheldon said
that prices of undeveloped land have
not fluctuated during the period of
high prices, while those of developed
lands remain at the high peak
Herbert U. Nelson, executive secre-
tary, National Association of Real Els
tate Brokers, believes that there will
be no reduction in building material
prices in the next two years. The mild
winter caused a general activity in
real estate and building not expert
enced since 1919, according to the sec
re tary.

Maine was the heaviest shipper with

GARAGE NEARLY COMPLETED

The Strong & Manley garage on
Division and Main streets is being
rapidly finished, the machine shop de-
partment which is enclosed by itself
in the main building now being used
by the regular shop force. In moving
into the new quarters considerable
new machinery and labor saving de-
vices have been added that will add
greatly to efficiency in turning out
repair work. One of the important
features is travelling crane by which
motors or other heavy parts of car
can be lifted out of the car undergoing
treatment and transferred to any part
of the shop for overhauling. The dis
