Killed Two, Injured Three.


Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Penkowski of
Eagle River, while returning home
from Marinette early Monday
morning saw the results Of moon
shine and speed while travelling on
Highway 80 out of Marinette. A
short time before they reached
Crivitz they saw where a Nash
truck had been run into by a
Buick touring car. The truck was
run into by the Buick, losing a
front wheel and in turn smashed
up the touring car. Five men
were in the Buick; two were in
stantly killed and the other three
badly injured. 1t is said that the
driver of the Buick was intoxicat-
ed and is now under arrest. Mr..
Penkowski stated that on account
of the dense smoke and fog hover
ing over the roads, he failed to
reach Eagle River until almost
noon of Monday. In many places
he barely moved ahead the smoke
was so dense. Add to that half
shot drivers who were speeding,
and the trip is one they would
not care to take again under like
conditions.

Building New Line,

Within another week the new
telephone. line now being builded
by the Eagle River Telephone
Company between Eagle River and
Phelps will have been completed.
The line has been changed from
the old Deerskin-Long lake road
to Highway "P", following that
route to Phelps. This will now
give the residents along Little and
Big Twin lakes service both to
Phelps and the outside world. AS
it is now they are compelled to
telephone from Phelps, rather an
arduous task when time is valu-
able.

Congregational Church.

We have been back on the job
for two Sundays since our brief
vacation and invite you back to
your pews at the church services.
Look around your home and see if
you have new neighbors. They
probably want to be invited to
some church. Tell them about
ours.
Strangers and visitors are well
come.
Boys and girls are wanted to fill
out Sunday school classes. If
your boy or girl does not already
attend Bible instruction some
where, send them to us.
A little religion in the blood is
the thing we need in these times,
to tone up our constitutions and
make real people of us.

CLAIMS OF MICHIGAN
Boundary Line Controversy
Between Two States Rests
on Errors in Original Sur
vey.

Reports from Madison shows
the attorney generals department
will at once begin on arguments
in reply to the complaint which
has been filed by the state of
Michigan, claiming certain Wis
consin lands, Attorney General
Herman l.. Ekern said on Thurs
day.
The attorney general has been
in Washington in regard to the
lake level suit which is being wag-
ed by five middle western states
against the Chicago drainage dis
trict. He also spent some time
while in the capital working on
the arguments to be presented be-
fore the Supreme court in the
case, soon to- come up, which will
attempt to abolish the ''Pittsburg
plus" practices Of large steel com
panies.
The territory claimed by Michi-
gan is only small strip of land
in Iron and Villas counties in adj
dition to. several islands in the Men
ominee river, and Washington is
land in Green Bay. This strip of
land is very valuable, however as
it contains rich deposits Of iron
ore.
A bill of complaint, covering
forty-six pages, was filed by At
torney General Andrew B. Dough
erty of Michigan. Dougherty first
asked permission in a petition to
file a bill of complaint but this
will be granted as a matter of
course.
Photographs of a number of
old maps are given in the bill Of
complaint in support Of Michigan's
claim. One of them dates as far
back as 1888 and bears the title
From a map of entire territories
of Wisconsin and Iowa, published
by order of the legislative assem-
bly, of Wisconsin, 1888
Michigan's chief claims to the
land rest upon what it is alleged
are errors in the records and re
ports of an early surveyor of the
territory, Capt. Cram. Capt. Gram
surveyed the entire territory, then
comprising Wisconsin and Mich.
gan and Wisconsin in 1886 ano
later in 1910 and 1915, but since
that time there has been scarcely
a change in the boundary.
Mr.. Ekern is not yet willing tc
indicate along what lines Wiscon.

1t is possible that surveyors may
be sent to the disputed territory
to make new surveys.

Has the American farmer reached
crisis that endangers national pros
perity? Are we facing the danger that
the United States, bereft of a virile
farm population, will travel the
downward path that Greece and
Rome have trodden before?
AS proof that agriculture in the
/ United States is just now entering
upon a new and most critical stage"
Orville M. Kile, writing in McClure's
Magazine, points to the fact that al
ready we import more food. measur-
ed in dollars, than we export. He
adds that within short time-esti-
mated by experts at ten to twenty
years-we shall cease to be a food
exporting nation, unless some ex-
traordinary changes in methods and
public policy are introduced.
Whether we shall preserve and
develop robust and virile agricul-
turai population or whether our basic
industry shall languish and wither,"
he says, depends upon the public
policy adopted and established dur
ing the next decade or two"
The failure of American agricul-
tural production to keep pace with
our population, Mr.. Kile finds, Is not
due primarily to the decrease in the
proportion of our population engaged
in agriculture-althoug this reduc-
ton has been large-but is owing
mostly to u notable decrease in the
rate of expansion of our arabic areas.
Improved land, he says, increased
barely five per cent. during the de-
cade 1910 to 1920, as compared with
Is to so per cent in previous de-
cades.
The reasons why the question of
the future of agriculture, and conse-
Quently the future of the nation, is
30 acute now, are given by Mr.. Kile
as these:
The American people have. until
very recent years-since the war
been fed at a price below the actual
cost OF producing farm crops. Failure
of agriculture to compete with the
cities has caused rapid migration
from country to city. until today
only 40 per cent. of our people live in
the country, whereas three decades
ago nearly two-thirds were classed
as rural. Despite the use of improved
machinery, improved seed and i'm
proved farming methods, crop yields
per acre have barely held their own.
The farmer today has constantly to
fight the depredations of new insects
and plant diseases. Freight rates are
high and must remain high until
some radical change is made in our
transportation system.
The crisis can be met, he con-
cludes, only by far-sighted states
manship and an enlightened public
opinion endorsing and upholding a
policy of adequate protection and en-
enlargement of our agriculture
even at some expense to present
urban development.
