Buys ChrOnOtype.

The Rice Lake Chronotype, a
mighty good weekly newspaper
published at Rice Lake in the wes-
tern part of the state, was sold
last week to Messrs. A. F. Ender
and Warren D. Leary, both from
Chippewa Falls. The paper has
been operated by E. G. McClelland
and Ray c. Peck, veterans in the
newspaper business. Last week
students of the college of journ-
alism issued a twenty page special
edition of The Chronotype, and
that it was hummer, is seen by
one perusing every page. The old
newspaper men will rest up a
while and possibly get back into
harness once more.

ROBERT STAMP is DEAD
Well Known Minocqua Resi-
dent Dies Suddenly From
Attack Of Heart Trouble.

Robert Stamp, resident of Mi
nocqua and we'll known in Eagle
River for many years past, died
suddenly at his home in Minocqua
last week Monday. Heart trouble
was the immediate cause. He was
"a years of age.
Eating a hearty dinner he lay
down upon couch, and was dis
covered a short time after the
noon hour by his daughter in a
dying condition; passing away be-
fore a physician could be sum-
moned.
Mr.. Stamp was we'll known in
this northern part of the state,
and for number of years was in
the employ of the state conserva-
ton commission as a builder of
roads through the state lands
north and east Of Star Lake and
Sayner.

BANK TO REORGANIZE
Three Lakes Bank, Accord
ing to Bulletin by State to
Open.

Announcement is made by the
state banking department that an
assessment of one hundred per
cent has been ordered by the de-
partment against the stockholders
of the recently closed State Bank
Of Three Lakes and that an effort
will be made to reorganize the in
stitution. The statement of the
bank as of March 81 showed loans
and discounts to be S119,218.97 and
overdrafts to the amount of $685.
81. The capital stock is $4,000
and deposits $74,663.26.
The State Bank of Three Lakes
was established November 6, 1912,
with a capital Of $4,000. On July
25th, 1918, the capital was in
creased to $4,000. The bank was
organized by Clark G.. Kinney and
his relatives and business associ-
ates and from the beginning un-
til Mr.. Kuney's' retirement some
months ago was a one-man bank.
Since the reorganization of the
bank, says the state banking de-
partment, "the new board of di-
rectors have used their. best eff
forts to set the affairs of the
bank in order, but owing to the
fact that the former management
had loaned an excessive proper
ton of the banks funds to institu-
tions in which officers connected
with the bank were interested and
had made several loans to the ex-
IRENE limit permitted by law, and
these loans having become frozen,
it was decided that for the pro-
lection of all concerned the af-
fairs Of the banks should be turn
ed over to the commissioner of
banking.
"The dangerous liberality of
the Wisconsin law in permitting a
bank to loan fifty per cent of it's
capital and surplus to one borrow
er has resulted in the closing Of
this institution. A considerable
portion of the loanable funds
were tied up in a few loans and
several of these loans were inter
lacing."

BANK WILL ENTERTAIN
First National TO Hold open
House" inMagnificent New
Home Saturday Evening.

A general invitation to the pub
lie to visit their new home has
been issued by officers and direct
ors of the First National Bank of
Eagle River.
Saturday evening of this week,
between the hours Of seven and
ten, the new building of the bank
will be formally dedicated. Every
person visiting during those hours
will be given a souvenir, and will
also have the opportunity of view
ing a very beautiful interior ar
rangement Of a modern banking
institution.
The new building is located up
on the corner of Wall and Rail
road streets and is practically
completed. It's erection was be-
gun last summer and was to have
been opened January first, but on
account Of difficulties in securing
intricate interior furnishings, was
not completed until this week. 1t
is safe to say it is fitted in the
most practical manner of any bank
building in the state Of that style
of architecture.
The special edition of the Villas
County News, to be issued short
ly, will illustrate the new build
ing exterior and interior.
Villas county has three mighty
good banks and one viewing their
reports can see that this county is
really one of much worth and not
the wild and woody section, great
many people imagine it to be. Ag-
riculture, industry and recreation,
for which this section is now not
ed as being foremost in the state,
are three vital features which are
being advanced and which are now
bringing in returns of much
value.

GOES TO NEW LONDON
Principal of the Shawano
Schools, Formerly of Eagle
River, Takes New Position.

r. j. Mcmahon, several years
ago principal of the Eagle River
schools, but of late years superin-
tendent Of the Kewaunee and Sha-
wano schools, has been awarded
the SUPPLEMENTARY of the New
London schools for the coming
school year.
Mr.. Mcmahon while principal in
Eagle River won a glowing trib-
ute to himself as a builder and
molder of young minds in that
strata of everyday life which pro-
notes in better men and women
the youths of today. To show
what Shawano thinks of Prof.
Mcmahon, the following is taken
from last weeks Shawano Journal:
Prof. Mcmahon has been the
head Of the Shawano schools for
the last three years. He came here
from Kewaunee when Prof. Bish-
op went to Two Rivers. During
the last six years the Shawano
schools have been brought to the
attention of the people of the
state by our winnings in oratory
defamation, debate, athletics, and
in commercial contests. There is
no other school in Wisconsin that
has ever approached the number
Of state winnings this school has
made. The credit due to Mr.. Nc
Mahon for this status can not be
minimized. He has always been
loyal to the students and to the
school. An example of this is
shown in his action at Marinette
when he advanced $3.50 out of his
own pocket for the special train,
with the faith that the people of
the city would back him up. And
they did. There were more than
enough people who took the trip
than was necessary to make up
the amount.
The attendance at the high
school has practically doubled dur
ing Mr.. McMahon's tenure. The
graduates who have gone on to
higher Institutions have made
good records. Each year the stud
ents have gotten out an annual
which makes a history Of their
school activities.
While the manv friends of Mr.
Mcmahon are sorry to see him and
his most estimable wife leave US,
they are glad to see him promoted
to a bigger town.

Snow Disappearing.

Within another week, unless
something turns up, the main
highways throughout the county
will undoubtedly be open to auto
traffic. Now this is to be taken
into consideration, that these pre-
dictions are based upon the pres
ent state of the weather and not
something which pops up and
splashes the whole caboodle, into
the snow bin. We have hopes. For
the benefit of Leo. Bishop of
Three Lakes, Ole Rismon of Star
Lake, robins are here and there
will be NO trout fishing the first
Of May. Dadbing the dadbinged
luck, anyway.

GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
MIR. and Mrs. Dennis Pa
quette Married Fifty Years
Residents of Arbor Vitae.

Saturday, April 18th, was the
anniversary of the fiftieth year of
welded life for Mr.. and Mrs. Den
mis- Paquette Of the town of Ar
Dor Vitae. Their children, seven
in number, together with other
relatives, had planned a fitting
homecoming and celebration on
that day. Mr.. Paquette who has
been in the Rhinelander hospital
for the past month or six weeks,
was expected to arrive ON Friday
and the celebration would have
been carried out. His condition
was such, however, that he will be
unable to leave the hospital for
another week, and the event was
postponed until his arrival home.
For the past thirty years Mr..
and Mrs. Paquette have been resi-
dents of the town of Arbor Vitae
and it can we'll be said that dur
ing that period they have amas-
sed wonderful friendship in this
section of the statee Everybody
knows them for the worth they
have been to neighbors and strang-
ers.
Dennis Paquette was born at the
Mission de Ste. Marie, Quebec, No
vember Is, 1854; Mrs. Paquette
was born December Is, 1855, in
the town of or Paroisse de st. Ga
briel de Bouchette, province Of
Quebec. Fifty years ago April IA,
they were united in marriage at
St. Gabriel de Bouchette, Quebec.
To this union there were born
fifteen children, seven of whom
are now living; Marie at st. Paul;
Margaret at Racine; Evelyn and
Mildred at Arbor Vitae; William
and Jack at Boulder Junction and
Charles at Arbor Vitae.
Leaving Quebec this couple
came to Turtle Lake, Wisconsin;
later resided at Tomahawk and
Harrison, moving from there in
1893 to their present home in the
town of Arbor Vitae. They oper-
ated a business near Arbor Vitae
and branched out in the village of
Boulder with store and hotel,
which they have and still are con-
Quoting. Several weeks ago Mr..
Paquette entered the Rhinelander
hospital where he had a toe am
putated. Mrs. Paquette is with
him and their return will see a
celebration such as the town of
Arbor Vitae and Woodruff has new
er witnessed before. Mr.. and Mrs.
Paquette are so very we'll known
in this section of norther Wiscon-
sin that should the celebration of
their golden anniversary be made
a public affair, there would GER
talnly be monster gathering of
old and new friends. to congratu-
late them upon their fifty years of
welded life.

Getting Resort Ready.

Mr.. and Mrs. D. C. Lake and
family, who operate a resort on

Mr.. Lake was superintendent of a
large printing plant during the
late fall and winter. Their daugh-
ter Miss Beatrice spent the winter
in Milwaukee, and accompanied

Of the country is not in such crit

In the reports last week, the
Farmers & Merchants Bank of
FoaIe River shows total of re-

First National Bank of Eagle Riv-
or Shows S319,966.83, and Phelps
State Bank shows $189,745.84.
This time of the year is always
considered the bad period for
hanks Winter business is never
50 good as that in the warm
months, especially in this north
ern section. Not alone is it in
this section, but from the bank
reports in other newspapers which
comes to our desk, the same con-
ditions arise. Even manufacture
ing cities down state and some
banks in a we'll populated and pro-
gressiye down state county, shows
in some instances a lighter finan
cial report of resources than do
those banks in Villas county. All
the banks in Villas county are not
centuries old, and therefore must
needs grow old, to some extent,
before they can show the big fig
ures the city and down state
banks do.

TOURISTS IN WINTER
Test Made Last Winter Show
New Business Can be Very
Easily Secured BY Owners
in Lake Region.

A test was made last winter by
quite a number of the resorts in
the lake region in the winter tour
ist business, and from facts just
obtained it points pertinently to
the fact that such a business can
be easily made into paying prop
osition by the hundred and odd
resorts in this lake region of Nor
thern Wisconsin.
With the natural resources at
your doorstep, the resort owners
of Wisconsin can give the man or
woman who wishes to indulge in
winter activities - snowshoeing,
skiing, toboganning and kindred
outdoor cold weather sports far
better advantages than can most
states who are now cultivating
this new crop.
The White House, a resort To-
Gated on Big St. German lake
west of Eagle River, and Long
Lake Lodge east of Phelps, have
both tried out winter tourist and
winter activities. While it was
not on an elaborate scale to begin
with, still the results have con-
WINGED both hostelries that North
ern Wisconsin can easily be made
the center of all-winteT activities,
with a large guest list. A letter
from Ellis 0. Jones Of The White
House states that his guests found
the conditions in this section just
as good, if not better, than those
of the famed east. While the ac-
commodations here would not nee
essarily be on such an elaborate
scale as those places east, still ev-
cry guest left warm in praise of
this territory as a scene for win
ter activities to be enjoyed to
their utmost every phase of the
outing is at the hands of the re-
sort men if they but fit them
selves to care for winter tourists.

Went to Congress

A few months ago there came
into this port ship, from which
the United States Public Health
Service landed four persons suf-
fering from pneumonia. They
were sent to the Long Island Col
lege Hospital in Brooklyn.
The hospital authorities, be-
coming alarmed, telephoned me
and I assigned one of the board
of>health experts to see these four
cases of pneumonia. Not one of
them had pneumonia, but three
had well-developed cases Of typhus,
one of the most dreaded of cpl
demic diseases.
The ship which brought them
here was tied up at the dock and
the passengers were on the. dock
ready to be dispersed through the
city and the country. 1 sent them
back on the ship and the ship
back to Quarantine for pe Fed

The Case Of Disease

/ have told you there are seven
points to which Russia must di-
rect the Polish refugees on their
way home. In three OF these
places thsre are no hospitals 1t
all. what does this mean? It
means that the typhus and cholera
infested persons win pass on into
the interior of Poland, carrying
with them disease and death.
Disease does not respect ma
tional boundaries: Unless wisdom
prevails these terrible plaques will
pass into Germany, through Hol.
land and France to Great Britain
and then to America. II govern
ments fail to protect these Polish
points through which disease will
stalk westward, private contribu-
tons must be made to safeguard
the world. At the present rate
OF exchange $5o.O0O,0OO viii pro
vide the Necessary hospitals.
1t is apparent to me that Amer
lea must guard her ports, or our
country viii suffer with the rest
of the world. No greater calam-
ity could be visited upon com
merce than to have any sort of
a pandemic.
You have only to bark back to
the influenza epidemic OF 1918 to.
know what would happen were
typhus. cholera Or bubonic plague
to enter our ports. Trade would
be paraly1ad, possibly for years,
and the commerce of the world
would be decades in recovery
from the effects of this death
dealing calamity.
It would be worse than any
conceivable cataclysH, because its
disastrous effects would be con-
tinuing.
