Main Building Of Camp
Kentuck Lost By Fire
MAGNIFICENT LOG STRUCTURE
AND ALL CONTENTS WAS
DETROYED NOV. 18th.

Fire, undoubtedly of incendinary
origin, destroyed the main lodge at
Camp Kentuck, northeast of Phelps,
on Sunday night, Nov. 4. The build
ing was only completed in June of
this year and was three story log
structure 60x6O, the ground floor be-
ing devoted to club room, kitchen
laundry, etc. The entire second floor
was used for dining room with a
capacity of 100 people. The third
floor was entirely sleeping rooms,
and those who had seen it pronounc-
ed it the finest log building in north
ern Wisconsin. A yeah ago the site
was purchased of N. a. Colman by a
corporation headed by H. H. Sher-
wood, of Plymouth and they were
busy there all last winter putting up
the building just burned and num-
Der of cottages for use as a boys
camp that opened for the season on
July 1. 1t was well patronized and
reservations made for next year
would have filled it to the utmost.
The place had not been occupied for
some weeks but the caretaker visit
ed it daily and others who visited
the place after the fire stated that
there is no doubt but that it was the
work of some one who for some rea-
son desired to vent their illwill to-
ward the owners.
The loss was more than $4,000
only partially covered by insurance.
It is presumed that it will be rebuilt
although it will not be possible to
construct another building as unique
and desirable for the purpose needed.

ON ARMIsTIcE DAY

A very fine program in observance
of Armistice Day was given at the
Congregational church Sunday morn
ing. 1t consisted of musical selections
by full choir, school pupils and old
81. people and an appropriate address
by Rev. Davies. The people of the
United States fortunately had a very
brief experience with the havoc
wrought by. the greatest war in his
tory and every American can well
afford to make some effort to prop
erly observe Armistice Day in respect
TO the American soldiers who gave
their lives in its cause and in SYM
patty with the broken homes that
resulted from it.

on Special Ford Display
DISPLAY OF FORD CARS TRUCKS
AND FoRDSoK TRACTORS TO {
BE HELD THIS WEEK

The special display of Ford cars
and trucks and Fordson Tractors be-
ing held this week by Strong & Man
lev. local Ford dealers, is attracting
much attention from both residents
of the city and those living nearby.
The week has been set aside by
the Milwaukee Branch of the Ford
Motor Company for complete show
ing of Ford products throughout the
entire branch territory and dealers
everywhere are participating.
The new Ford cars show many i'm
provements, both in exterior appear
ance and in interior arrangement,
particularly the enclosed types, the
Coupe and four-door Sedan The con-
venience and comfort afforded by the
closed cars is winning many enthusi-
astic comments from women who
have visited the display.
Ford trucks and Fordson Tractors
are coming in for much considera-
ton by business men and farmers.
The truck is this year enjoying a
greater popularity than ever before,
because of it's adaptability to all
sorts of hauling and delivery work
and the economy and efficiency which
it effects.
The Fordson, first introduced as a
farm implement, is now filling many
industrial power requirements when
used with special equipment and con.
tractors, road builders and manufac-
turers are finding new uses for it
right along.

Potato Acreage Low in
Wisconsin This Season
NOVEMBER ESTIMATE is HIGHER
THAN FORECAST BUT YEAR
PRODUCTION is Low

There is little change in the Nov
ember estimate of the potato crop
in Wisconsin, but the United States
estimate is Is million bushels above
the forecast of October Twas an
nounced today by the State and Fed
eral Crop Reporting Service at Madi-
son. The estimate for the United.
States is Ait million bushels, which
is "a million bushels below last year,
20 million bushels above 1921 and IA
million bushels above 1920
New York added million bushels
and Michigan and Maine each mil
lion bushels to the October forecast.
There was a decrease of IN million
bushels in the Colorado estimate and
flight decreases in Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
Only two states, Maine and New
York show a production greater than
last year,-the most marked differ
ence being in Maine where the crop
is IL million bushels more than last
years production of % million bush
els Wisconsin shows the greatest re-
duction of any State.
The average yield in Wisconsin
is estimated by growers to be SO bush
els per acre Yields in northern Wis,
consin are above average, but in a
group of ten central and Western
counties the yields are low due to
drouth and early frost. The estimate
of 26 million bushels for Wisconsin
is ga per cent of last years crop Of
Al million bushels.

following spring of 1851 planted them
and thereby gained the distinction
of being the first potato grower in
Wisconsin.
1t is a long, long stride from the
pioneer struggles of the LaMieux fam
lily in founding their home at that
early period to the wonderful display
of potatoes seen at the 18th annual
potato show grown according to the
latest scientific methods of potato
culture and then prepared for display
by men who have made their espec-
ial business to select a potato which.
whatever the variety may be, will be
easily recognized by their characted-
istics. with eger3 sample as nearly
alike as to size aid shape as the
proverbial "tWo peas in pod" Wis
consin potato growers have much rea
son to be proud of their reputation
which extends from ocean to ocean,
but as great as their success has been
it is not more worthy of comment
than the achievements attained under
far greater difficulties by the early
settlers of Wisconsin.
At the business meeting held at
the close of the show, Amos Rad
cliffe of Eagle River was elected
president, Franklin Mace, lola, vice
president, and w. p. Jewell, Rhine
lander and James Hanson, Rice Lake
directors of the Wisconsin Potato
Growers Association; J. G. Milward
I of Madison retaining the position of
/ secretary and treasurer; Messrs. Rad
clffe and Mace exchanging official
positions with each other, Mr.. Mace
having been president last year
while Mr. Radcliffe served as vice
president

eide upon the time and place of hold

THE OLDEST ROAD

The most ancient highway in North
America is said to be the New Mexico
section of the National Old Trails
Road. According to Judge ]. M. Lowe
president of the National Old Trails
Road Association, this section of the
great highway is the oldest road es-
tablished on the North American con-
tinent. 1t extends from Socorro to
Santa Fe, about one hundred and fifty
miles. Don Juan Onate, a Spaniard,
who was governor of New Spain
(Which comprehended all of Mexico)
in the fifteenth century, was the first
man to establish a road in America.
Long years before the Pilgrim
Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock,
Onate had marked out and established
this road VIII, ch started at Santa Bar
bara, now Jiminez, Mexico, and ended
in the vicinity of what is now Santa
Fe New Mexico. This territory had
been claimed by the King of Spain in
1898, and 1906 Santa Fe was founded
as the capital of New Spain. This
route was used later as highway
over which goods were freighted from
the Gulf of Mexico via Vera Cruz, via
the City of Mexico and Santa Barbara
until the Santa Fe Trail was opened
under the Act of Congress of 1924.
This old road was then known as the
"Camino Real" 1.-THE Kings High
way and it traversed the Rio
Grande Valley from the Gulf to San
ia Fe

guests had left for their respective
hunting camps that day or were max
ing preparations for an early start
to the woods on Sunday morning.

WESTERN FARMERS POETRY

Contributed
Out where the sun beats down a lit
tie stronger;
Out where they work about four
hours longer;
Out where they raise the corn and
clover,
But have nothing to show when the
year is over
That's where the west begins.
Out where the mavericks below and
bawl,
The farmer weeps at the long freight
haul
For he knows that the railways will
get it all;
Where the risks are great and the
profits small
Out where the farmers rave and cuss
But do not strike and make fuss,
That's where the west begins.

FINED FIFTY DOLLARS and COSTS

FINED FIFTY DOLLARS and COSTS
On Nov. 9Th, Harvey Heyer Of Mil
waukee appeared before Judge G. L.
Paquette of Phelps and paid a fine
of $50 and costs for having venison
in his possession during the closed
season. Heyer and two friends from
Milwaukee are reported as shooting
horse belonging to a settler there
while shining" deer some few weeks
back. The horse died and investiga-
ton by the local conservation warden
showed the animal to have been kill
ed with buckshot. There is absolutely
no excuse for shooting stock for
deer at any time and when done in
the closed season especially, the per
petrators of such acts should be fin
ed the limit, when caught.

that about the usual number viii
be able ito fill their licenses.
