Monday was a large day over
Eagle Waters Golf Club way. Big
donigs as it were. This is the
week the club stages it's annual
Golf Tournament, and Monday the
qualifying round was played.
Fifty-six starters faced the bar
rier." 1t was no mean field, as it
contained such CONSTANT per-
formers on the links as C. C.
Vance of Peoria; E. L. Hartig, L.
A. Furgeson, Jess Brown, John H.
Coulter and c. H. Hermann of Chi
cago; Arthur Let's and D. M. Bak-
er of Los Angeles; 7. D. Harris of
Oklahoma; Also G. D. Sutton, H.
E. Halliday ST., and Jr, Orville
Mitchell, Roy Collins and John E..
Mitchell Jr. Hartig and Vance
did not play up to their form in
the qualifying round. They are
both capable of better brand of
Golf.

golfers and club house veranda

count of the numerous ladies pres
ent, constituting a considerable
gallery at the first tee; every inch
of the dock and boat slips occu-
pied by the different craft, includ-
ing the fotilla of Baby Bearcats.
Nothing seemed to be missing to
make Monday a gala day for the
club and all participants. Every
body seemed to be there. The
Deerskin river was deserted for
we saw Frank Won Brecht, Seth
Serat, 7. D. Harris, Ed Showers
and other fly casters at the tour

The big elusive, uncaught Mus
ky in Cranberry lake known as

our "Musky-teers," Bill Floing and
John Coulter, and who has sue
ceeded in collecting from them
and others a large assortment of
tackle, must have found business
dull on Monday for the Foings,
Bill and Phoebe, and the Coulters
John and Alice, were at the Golf
club.
AS for the course itself it is
now out of it's swaddling clothes
and is full-grown golf course.
1t has been much improved since
last season. Holes have been
changed, new ones built, sand
pits installed, course heightened

latter part of August. The show
ing they have been making in ag-
ricultural products, stock and
other assets in the farming line
have been of such a quality that
they have drawn hundreds of in
terested people from all over the
state during their exhibitions.
Their display of bead work has
been wonderful, and it is claimed
that no real value as to the col
lection has been placed by those
versed in values on such work. It
is said it is the most perfect dis
play ever shown. This will be
at the Villas County Fair together
with other articles from the
Flambeau Indians.
1t will be a worthy and attrac-
tive addition to the county fair
and will prove a real drawing
card.

Why Britain Values the Bahamas.

The Bahamas are a chain of coral
islands generally grouped with the
West Indies. They belong to Great
Britain. The group includes 20
Islands and $50 islets. but only about
20 are Inhabited. The coral rock Is
porous. retaining moisture. hence the
soil that has accumulated Is very fer
tile. The islands produce maize, cot
ton, sisal hemp, pineapples, oranges.
lemons, olives, tamarinds. and other
sub-tropical fruits. Large quantities
Of sponges are taken from the sur
rounding seas. The principal exports
are sponges. fruits and sisal fiber. To-
matoes are being extensively Guilt
waited and shipped to the United States.
Mahogany, hgnum-vitae, mastic. iron
wood, ebony, lockwood and satinwood
are found throughout the islands. The
fiber exported In 1920 had value of

Some years ago considerable trade
was carried on between Great Britain
and Egypt In mummified cats! The
cat was semi-sacred creature among
the ancient Egyptians and because
they symbolized wakefulness, stealth
mess and craft they were held to be
special favorites of the gods of sleep
and of the land Of the dead. When
they died they were carefully treated
by the undertakers of that day, and
after careful embalning were buried
In great vaults. The degenerates, or
more enlightened descendants of the
ancient Egyptians-however one cares
to consider them In their attitude to-
ward their forefathers' beliefs-made
merchandise Of the mummies of the
cats, and sold them In shlploads to be
ground up and converted into fertiliz-
ers for the soil. There was found to
be no truth in a story that human
remains were occasionally found
among the embalmed pussies.

MARK OF ANIMAL AFFECTION
Dogs and Others Of the Lower Crea-
lures Lick Mans Hand as Signal
of Surrender.

When Mr.. Garner spent so many
months living in his iron cage in the
jungles of Africa, studying apes,
monkeys and gorlllas, he discovered
that If monkey licked the body OF
another monkey or Of man, 1T was a
signal of surrender.
A traveller in South American woods
along the Amazon shot monkey. The
poor little beast was badly wounded,
but not dead. when approached. In its
last agony it licked the hand of the
man who did the mortal injury. The
look and the act gave the traveller u
feeling of sorrow and regret for his
deed
With other animals the act of lick
ing indicates something akin to Il am
your friend"
So when dog ticks the hand of his
master, or attempts to lick his masters
face, it is his expression of fidelity, af-
lection and devotion.
The act doubtless harks back
through the ages of time when the dog
wolf made the choice between man or
other dog-wolves and selected man as
his companion. Out Of the dim past
there remains with the dog this in
stinct, which Is often not understood,
and which is best and noblest In dog
nature.

WORLD ON ITS LAST LEGS?
Why It 10 Said Mankind Won't Be
Able to Walk After the Next
10000 Years.

There Is comfort for those cheer
less people who believe that the world.
Is on its last legs. Scientists are
backing them up. Doctor Vaughn.
the health commissioner of Detroit.
asserts that in 10000 years there will
be no human legs at all.
II is a startling prediction, coming
as II does at time when the visible
supply of legs Is larger and more
beautiful than ever. 1t seems incredi-
BILE that legs should fade out of the
picture. With what shall generations
of that far future walk2 All. says
Doctor Vaughn, that's just it; the
race Is going to lose Its legs because
1t doesn't use them any more.
We must remember, observes the
New York World, that Doctor Vaughn
is in position to be pessimistic. He
Is In Detroit, where almost everybody
lives on and In motorcars. Infants,
instead of being taught to toddle are
shown how to throw out the clutch,
shift the gears and slip into first
speed; that Is all except the Ford
babies, who don't have to bother with
gear shifting.
Arms. too, will disappear about the
same time that legs depart, unless
says Doctor Vaughn, people use their
arms more for real exertion. Is the
doctor suggesting that modern folk
are not working hard enough? 1t
sounds that way. The world needs to
be reminded that unless 1t keeps Its
biceps in order there will be no ten
mis- tournaments in a hundred CEN
turtles or so. Without legs, no dane
Ing. Without arms, no baseball. All
the sports Of the distant future will
be telepathic. The Babe Ruths of the
period will swat the ball with the bat
of thought. The Joie Rays will run
miles on the track of their minds. The
Jack Dempseys will assault their op-
ponents with the punch Of pure rea-
\ son.

WHY
Black Sheep Sometimes Appear
Among White Flocks

The appearance of black lambs IN
n flock made up entirely of white
sheep has been for ages and Is still
superstitions. But the study Of the
laws of breeding and heredity has ex-
planned the reasons for the sporadic
appearance of these off-color speci-
mems. according to bulletin of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Feeding and management of sheep
have nothing to do with the appear
ance of black lambs. The black
color Is hereditary even though IT may
be transmitted by ordinary white
sheep. The black color in such case
is what is called recessive character
White sheep which transmit this char
acter at all transmit black in 80 per
cent of their reproductive cells and
white in the remaining 80 per cent.
Thus, such white sheep mated with
blacks-which can only transmit
black-produce 90 per cent black
lambs and so per cent white. All of
these white lambs can transmit black
White sheep which transmit only
whites. mated with blacks, produce
only white lambs. but all of t..ese
lambs can transmit black. When both
eve and ram are white, but both
transmit black, about 25 per cent of
the lambs are black. 80 per cent are
white which transmit black, while the
remaining % per cent are true breed
ing whites.

Almost as big as sparrow and en-
dowed with the appetite of an ostrich,
the western grasshopper, moving in
great clouds, can soon devastate
farm upon which they allght. Their
numbers have been kept down in a
measure by scattering through the
fields poisoned bran mash, favored
with fruit. A half dozen different
preparations were set in the path Of
these pests to ascertain which they
preferred, and vanilla was warm
favorite, though the first place had to
be awarded to a dish of amyl acetate.
This had no fewer than $40 patrons
out of 2,074. while the vanilla, second
choice, had DAB. This discovery will
lead to the manufacture of bait
which will certainly reduce the size Of
these visiting aggregations.
