Villas County's Annual Fair
Will Show Itself This Fall
Among the Best.

Villas county's opportunity for
monster exhibit of agricultural
products at its annual fair staged
several weeks from this date, will
give a true impression to the Wis
ltor just what there is in agricul-
ture In the best little county in
the state.
Nature has been good to us this
year, even though the haymaker
has had a dearth of trouble in
caring for his hay crop. Just as it
would be ready for the stack or
NOW, along would come a heavy
rain and cause untold trouble in
further curing the crop. AS it is
there are many fields right now
being cut between showers and it
IS question with the farmer
whether he will harvest the re-
mainder without having to use
extra precaution in drying. If he
gets away with it, we'll and good;
he will have a barn full and be
able to care for his stock in boun-
teous style this winter. And his
showing Of grasses at the county
fair will be prime, at that.
Each year since Villas county or
ganized county exhibit of pro-
ducts and stock, the exhibits have
increased to such an extent that
more room and larger buildings
are necessary to care for the show
ings. Last year every department
was crowded to capacity, and from
reports this falls exhibition will
surpass any heretofore put on by
the agricultural society.
Make it point to prepare your
exhibits in time this season, and
if you failed to make showing in
grains, grasses, vegetables or poul-
try and stock, don't lay down this
time. Many were the expressions
heard last fall that 81 could have
taken first premium had l exhibit
ed" True, but why didn't you do
so? Was it on account of lack of
time or just laziness?
Get into the game, fellows, and
make your attempt. 1t is a mighty
splendid chance to show your
neighbor what you can do, and at
at the same time you are increas-
ing the value Of your county's as
sets as an agricultural center.
Let's go.

Last week ground was broken
for the basement and foundation
walls of the new G. & N. w. depot
at Eagle River which will be locat-
ed upon the east side of the
tracks in the park addition owned

The width of the depot will be
twenty-five feet and the length in
the whole will be eighty feet. 1t
will comprise two waiting rooms
and an office of goodly proper
tions. The lower portion of the
building, as far up as the windows
will be of brick, while the remain
der in heighth will be stucco. The
plans call for a unique structure
one in keeping with this section
of the lake region, and that it will
be builded so, is not to be doubted

RECKONING FOR BIDD "
The Day of Reckoning f or
'Biddy" the Old Hen H as
Arrived and Her Demise is
Demanded.

The turning point for the pr es-
ervation of 'Biddy," the old fam lily
hen, has been reached and thu re
will be a .slaughtering off of all
non-productive fowls in the sta tie.
And it is a we'll known fact that
it should have been done long a 30.
yes Mr. Poultry Raiser, the
day of reckoning for old 'Biddy"
is here, says D. H. Ried of the de-
partment of Poultry, University of
Wisconsin.
From Is to so percent of I'd ur
heps have stopped laying duri ng
the hot weather months and hre
apt not to start until they Are
through with the moult which
lasts from two to five months.
What will you do?
Support the hens five MON tbs
without any returns.
"Or, will you sell your old hens
now at Is to 20 cents a pour d?
Each hen then will bring you
cash return Of 81 or more.
In 80 cases out of 100 hen
will lay more eggs her first y EAR
than any other" says Mr.. Reid,
and the wise poultry raiser is the
man who has looked ahead and has
a bunch of pullets that will start
laying in October. These pullets
will be laying before the h ems
finish their moult, so why not sell
the old hens and. feed your or w-
ing stock which you have either
raised or purchased"
instruction on culling can be
found in free circular 1913. issu led
by the College of Agriculture.

A VERY WORTHY CAUSE.
Drive for Funds to Assist in
Girls Maternity Hospital at
Milwaukee.

A drive for funds is to be made
IN this community at once in or
der to assist in rescue work which
has been established by the Saliva
ton Army in Milwaukee and the
communities in the state are ask
ed to assist in every possible way
for the upkeep of the Home. A
representative of the Army is now
IN Eagle River and has the fol
lowing to say to the public through
the local press. AS it is an abso-
lutte worthy cause, read what is
given:
"A year ago., says the repres-
entative, the Salvation Army es-
tablished Rescue Home and Ma
ternity Hospital at Milwaukee. The
institution is serving every section
OF Wisconsin, and there are now
43i girls in the home and almost as
many babies. Accommodations
were only planned for 81 girls but
there has always been from 40 to
IS in the home besides a waiting
list.
THE record of more than a
quarter of a century of other
homes shows that more than $3.50
OF the girls go straight thereafter
On entering the home girl
promises to remain three months
after the birth Of her babe, and
the Army exerts every possible eff
fort during that period toward re-
casting her entire conception of
life. The spiritual nature is slim
ulated through the work of the
Army as well as by the personal
visits of the priest, rabbi or min
lister from the church of her pref
erence.
1T costs S35 a month to help a
girl there. The majority of them
are less than eighteen years of age
and often they are fifteen and
sometimes even less.
The Army is in immediate need
of funds for maintenance. Money
is required to meet the July bills
The Rev. w. J. Davies of Eagle
River has consented to serve as
chairman of the committee which
has undertaken to help this splen-
did work"

Returned From California.

Mrs. R. F. Arendsee, accomp an
led by her mother, arrived at her
home ir the town of Lincoln last
Thursday after a trip west of Sew
eral weeks. Mrs. Arendsee is of
the same opinion of many other
people who visit the west-that
Wisconsin in every respect holds
the key to climate and other good
things necessary to the aver age
human for contented life. Wis
consin may have drawbacks in
plenty, but at that there is a on
ISOLATION that with all of til EN-
placed in one big heap, they still
are less than what one will run
against in many other states shd uld
the inclination and opportunity
present itself to investigate.

CONCERNING TAXES

Those who have the say about the
expenditure of tax moneys frequently
speak of the wastefulness of armies
and navies. They wish, as does every
one else, that such national safeguards
we're unnecessary and that the funds
needed for their maintenance might
be diverted to serve other purposes.
But as a rule they have very little
TO say about our standing army of
tax collectors and spenders, which is
more than five times the size OF our
army and navy combined. In this
connection the recent report of the
taxation committee of the Michigan
Bankers Association is particularly
interesting.
The committee asserts that, in the
past fifteen years, more than 100000
laws have been passed in the country
to control the lives and business activ-
tiles of u people, and that one in
,dividual in twelve of our population
is supported by the taxpaying public
in one way or another. In the state
of Michigan, SO per cent of the wealth
newly created every year goes to pay
for government-state, national OF
local.
The United States government pays
salaries to 100000 civilians and the
several states have more than twice
that number on their payrolls. And
their families and dependents and you
will understand the surprising totals
and the cost of our governmental
housekeeping.
Is it any wonder that tax-free Sc
c%uritics are popular, and that so many
supposedly upright citizens are to be
suspected of forgetfulness in the mat
ter Of their tax returnq Is it any
wonder that most business men hold
up their hands in horror at thu
thought of government ownership o.
operation of utilities Evansville
