Heavy Rainfall.

For a period of twelve hours be-
ginning in the early hours of Sun
day, a regular rainstorm visited
this section carrying away what
little snow had fallen the two
days previous. This has been the
first genuine rain for many weeks
and will materially assist in stor-
ing up a larger water supply in
the lakes in this section. This
year has been exceptionally dry
and up to the first fall of snow,
there was great danger from for
est fires, especially with so many
hunters rambling in the woods
after deer.

Crawling Highway.

Work of hauling the gravel and
crushed rock for the eight miles
Of new highway between Waters
meet and State Line where this
new road, MIG, connects with the
Wisconsin highway 80, began last
week. By the first of May next
year it is expected to have this
highway opened for traffic. 1t is
one of the most essential of any
of the Michigan highways inso-
much that it connects the upper
peninsula of Michigan and upper
Wisconsin, giving central out
let for all the traffic both north
ward in to Michigan from Wiscon-
sin, and southwark to Wisconsin
from Upper Michigan. Several
years ago this highway was build
ed but never completed and was
menace to auto traffic between
the two states.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

A number of High School stu
dents drove to- Laona last Wednes-
day evening to witness the Basket
Ball game held there. Although
rather rough it was we'll played
and showed good team work on
both sides. Laona played strict
ly guard game, keeping all five
players on the Eagle half so that
it was impossible for the boys to
run up a high score, because as
soon as Eagle got the ball the La
ona guards guarded our forwards
so closely that it was impossible
to throw the ball either to one of
the other boys or at the basket.
The final score was 20-5 in favor
of Eagle. Despite hardships and
accidents the students and local
fans displayed that pep for which
Eagle is noted and we hope to
show Laona some good sportsman
ship when they play here on De
cember 7th.

Friday night a large crowd
gathered to witness the game be-
tween Aniwa and Eagle. Before
the big game the second and third
teams played a preliminary that
was snapper and faster than the
game between the Aniwa and
Eagle teams. The score in the
preliminary was tied again and
again throughout the game and
although the final score, 1922 was
in favor of the second team the
third team fought a good battle
and the public certainly appreciat-
ed their efforts. The score in the
Aniwa game was 1922 in favor of
Eagle. The game was one-sided,
but the passing and long distance
shooting of our boys has improved
so much that it will take a faster
team than Aniwa to keep up with
it.

Figures for August 81
Show Increase Of $3.50
Over Last Year.
607,723 IN THE STATE
Every indication Registra-
ton Will Pass $4,000
Mark by 1924.

The total number Of motor vehicle
registrations in Bexar county for the
eight months of 1872" ending August
81, was 5000, or an increase Of $3.50
for the calendar year 1922, according
to figures released at Austin.
The total number Of motor vehicle
registrations for the eight months Of
1923 ending August 81 was COZ, 723.
This is 131, sol more than was regis
tered during the same period Of 1922
and 1888 more than was registered
during the entire year.
This shows that predictions that
registrations would reach the 100000
mark for 1923 were conservative. In
dications now are that they will ex-
coed this amount, probably reaching
675,000.
A perusal of the tabulation below
shows that only fourteen counties show
decreases when compared with the en-
tire year of 1922, and these decreases
will probably be wiped out during the
next four months. Large increases are
shown in most of the counties. Dallas
leads with 5000. Harris is second with
4794. Bexar third with $3.50. Wichita
fourth with 2S42, Jefferson fifth with
1854 and Tarrant sixth with 1927.

where patrons could delve into the
mysteries of the future for the small

that it was entitled to. A first class
minstrel show afforded amusement to
an ever enthusiastic audience, and as
usual, many witty remarks were given
to the public concerning local resi-
dents. If any one had any money left
after getting through the carnival lot,
they were cordially invited to spend
at the hot dog and lunch stand and
most people prudently saved little
for that purpose, saving the price of
meal down town. Other carnival at
fractions that we don't recall the
names of now, were open for inspec-
ton and taking everything together,
the carnival was pronounced success
from an entertainment point of view
as well as financially, the gross pro-
ceeds being over $4,000

STATE POLICE PATROL

There is a bill coming up at this
session of the legislature relating to
rural policing that we believe has
considerable merit. With the increase
of the automobiles and reckless driv-
ing moonshining game law violations
holdups both on rural highways and in
cities then make the get away into
the country, it is evident that more
complete system of police patrol, par
ticularly in the country, is needed.
Senator Smith has drawn up the
tentative bill which provides for a
system of patrol of highways and wa
terways by mounted rangers, which
would cover the entire state. The dut-
les of these rangers or mounted pol
ice is outlined in the tentative meas
ures as follows:
First-To make an arrest without
warrant when any person has com
mitted or has attempted to commit
criminal offense has in fact been
committed and they have reasonable
cause for believing the person to be
arrested has committed it.
Second-To patrol rural districts
and principal highways and water
ways of the state.
Third-To cooperate with state and
local authorities in the enforcement OF
! the fire. fish, game, forestry, public
health, animal disease and road and
bridge laws.
Fourth-To mobilize at the call OF
the governor, the sheriff, district at
torney, the mayor of any city, or the
police of cities, towns or villages tc
cooperate in keeping peace and pre-
venting crime.
There would be state camp fol
rangers and company headquarters al
various points under the bill. The
system would be in operation day and
night. Beats would be arranged witt
a view to mobilizing rangers at {
given point if need should arise.
Senator Smith says there would be
no conflict between state police ant
established police departments by
reason of duties. The rangers woult
operate over the rural districts, al
ways ready, however, to cooperate
with existing force for law enforce
ment
Among the states which have some
form of rural policing may be mention
ed Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Mar!

ada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New

WISCONSIN GAME PROTECTIVE
ASSOCIATION ADOPTS REsoL-
UTIoNS TO COVER CHANGES

Adjustment of the present system
of issuing hunting and fishing licenses
and the establishment in their place
of a 81 combination hunting and
fishing license is being urged upon the
Wisconsin legislature by the members
of the Wisconsin Game Protective
associations Children and women
would not need licenses.
The annual convention of the state
sportsmen's organization here this
week adopted resolutions urging a
half-dozen changes in the present con-
servatfon laws. They included:
/. Prohibition of the sale of con-
fiscated deer, such deer to be turned
over by the conservation commission
free of charge to the public institu-
lions of the state.
2. Setting apart all monies re-
ceived from hunting and fishing Ii
eenses for the propagation and pro-
5ecting of fish and game, and not to
De converted to any other purpose.
8. Forbidding the shipment of fish
n any way, except that person may
De permitted to carry with him 20
pounds of game fish of any size, but
aot exceeding the bag limit of such
fish.
A. Retention of the one-buck law.
s. A law making it a misdemeanor
punishable by fine or Imprisonment
to hunt migratory fowl except during
the hours legally designated for such
hunting.
The association also adopted re
solutions fayoring the last ten days
IF November for the deer-hunting sea
son, and urging that the pike and pick
areI season be made uniform over the
state.

WHEN WE PULL TOGETHER

Maybe one of the reasons we don't
get more needed Improvements is that
too many of us are quick to jump at
the conclusion that it is going to bene
fit the other fellow more than it will
him or that it will serve to enhance
the value of property in which he is
not directly interested.
No matter what part OF the town
we may live in, we are benefited by
the improvement Of any street or al
ley. or sidewalk in any other part of
town. It may not mean actual dol
lars and cents benefit. But chuck
hole filled here or a bad piece of paw
ing repaired there makes better
town-and the better the town the
more valuable our own property be-
comes. If a street light is needed in
a distant part of town from that in
which we live it is an Improvement
deserving our support, whether we
ever see it lighted or not. Maybe
someone in that part of town needs
that particular light to enable him to
get down town and transact business
And maybe the dollar he spends when
