Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1923-01-10

According TO information from
hunters in this section, it might
be wise for rabbit hunters TO ex-
ercise great care in handling
their game for consumption. 1t
is stated that the snOwshOe rab-
bit, plentiful in this section of
the lake region, is badly infected
with some sort of epidemic and
are dying IN great numbers. Bert
Warner of Sayner recently killed
four and they were badly diseas-
ed. In SHINING the carcass one
should examine it very carefully.
There will be found large Jumps
filled with puss and the animal
is unfit for consumption. Several
years ago an epidemic swept this
breed of rabbits almost out of ex-
istence, and in one instance
lady nearly died from a case of
infection from one of the puss
sacks while cleaning a rabbit.

NO BEAUTY Is EQUAL TO
THAT OF THE FOREST

Only blind man fails to see the
beauty that through all the seas
ons, night and day, lives in the
woods. 1t is a beauty that cannot
be described even by the poets
who know beauty best.
The artist looks at the woods
and then turns to lay on his can
vas as much of the glory of shaft
and bough and frond as it is pos
sible for his brush TO catch, but
he knows better than anyone else
that the real beauty Of the woods
has baffled his brush and defed
his cOlorsl One must live in the
woods and become intimate with
all their characteristics and know
their secret meanings before he
talks about their beauty.
In the shade and shadow of
great forest reaches, where few
men walk and unbroken serenity
lives, the soul of a man that sees
will find that which thrills.
Beauty, beauty everywhere! In
the quiet, pillared corridors where
myriads of trunks rise; through
the vistas canopied by the sweep
ing boughs of pine and ancient
birch, down the sides of rugged
ravines where hemlock and spruce
spread an ageless verdure, and
across the shoulders of hills
where hardwoods touch the land
scape with deep tints of jade
everywhere, everywhere in the
woods is beauty
What a realm of glory! Gigan-
tic trunks, with their gray bark
OVERLAPPING a ruddy brown, stand
scanned and carved by age and
weather. They suggest the mon
oliths and obelisks of an ancient
people who wrote their requests
of beauty and wealth TO other
years in strange hieroglyphs. Ev-
cry woodsman, whether he says il
or not, is thankful for what his
eyes see and his soul feels in the
sanctuary of the woods.-Williams
Chalmers Covert, in The Ameri
can Lumberman.

Another Year OF What

Again an old year is behind us
and a new one is before us, TO
make or mar-by our own acts.
Have we any community plans for
the new year? Or shall we just
drift along? The ship that drifts
goes only as fast as the tide or
current that carries it. 1t would
take a long time for such a YES
sci to cross the Atlantic. But in
stall a powerful engine in that
shin, and turn on the full force
of its power, and it will pillow its
way through the water at a rapid
rate of speed. 1t is so with US, in
this community. Our rate of
progress rests in our own hands.
We can drift along. and let anoth-
or year find us about where we
are now, or we may employ the
force of will power and determi-
nation and forge ahead, as the
power driven ship does on the wa
tiers of the seas. We may let well
enough alone and drag along
through life without ambition or
hope of substantial reward, OF
we may pep up" and get there
almost before we know it. If we
60 after a thing we at least have
a fair chance of getting it. If we
wait for it to come to Us we soon
learn what waiting means. We
consider this an opportune time
10 suggest that the citizens hold
some kind of public meeting and
submit suggestions and plans for
community betterment. No one
man carries all of the community
brains around under his own hat
and hence it is not from his lips
alone that all Of the good sugges-
tions must come. Every person has
ideas. and it is but fair to assume
that at least some of them arr
worthy of consideration.
From chance words great events
often may be waiting for an Op
portunity 10 utter that word
Let's have a meeting and ex'
change views. There is plenty tC
be done. enough Of us to do it,

FISHING IN SOUTHLAND
Ulrich and Krohn of The
Hemlock, Pulling in Salt
Water Fish In Florida.

Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Ulrich
and Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Krohn,
all of The Hemlock resort of
Eagle River, are according 10 a
recent issue of the St. Peters
burg FlOrida) Independent, hav-
ing the time of their life in re-
creating south during the winter
months, and also fishing the gulf
for deep sea fish.
On one of their trips TO the
fishing grounds in the gulf. the
Independent tells of a mighty
big catch of King fish made dur
ing December in which Mr.. u
rich and Mr.. Krohn participated.
On top of that Art sends Tom
MacQuaker a photo Of a catch of
big uns" weighing in the aggre-
gate of $50 pounds.
Seems as though the newspa-
per down there insists on calling
Art KrOhn Mr.. Croker; why he
and his friends here are unable
TO determine. But anyhow, both
the men folks are helping them
selves TO the bounties which ma
ture supplies IN that southern at

PLAN CAMPAIGN DRIVE
New North Wisconsin Asso-
citation Start This Month
for Big Membership.

Beginning the latter part of
January, the new Northern Wis
consin Resort Association which
was formed at Rhinelander last
October, will inaugurate big
drive for membership throughout
the northern part of the state.
The association is now endeavor-
ing 10 start the drive in every
community on a certain day, and
the drive, so it is said, will take
in every line of business in the
state.
The association when first form
ed was said to have been organic
ed for the exploitation of the ma
tural beauties of this wonderland
Of Wisconsin in including the
summer pleasure seeker, migrat-
ing throughout in Wisconsin and
partake of her advantages in re-
creative productiveness. Since
then, deeming the scope to be of
such magnitude, the officers will
change the present name, in or
der 20 broaden the association
scope, and inculcate therein coun-
ties and business men who have
land for settling purposes. In
this manner it will be a compost
organization, exploiting both re-
sort and land settling.
Within a few days the commit
tee of this association will choose
a new name from among several
thousand which they have secur-
ed through a contest inaugural
ed some weeks ago. The head
quarters of this association is at
Rhinelander where it is worked
in conjunction with the Rhinelan-
der Advancement Association.
The president of the association
is w. ID. Connors Jr. of Laona;
T. J. KOerner of Manitowish, vice
president; o. +. Barstow of Rhine
lander, secretary-treasurer; A. J.
Lyle of Rhinelander, field secre-
tary.

lust Fakers. That's All.

Just at present there seems 10
be an unusual number of men
travelling over the country with
various schemes along advertis-
ing lines for working the coun-
try merchant and in many in
stancrs the printer too. Com
menting upon this situation the
Leader, published at LeSueur
Center. Minnesota. says:
Maybe the small town mer-
chant and businessmen of all
kinds DO not realize that they are
listed as suckers by some schem-
ing fellows, who pick good mon
ey out of them quite often and
deliver practically nothing for it..
The usual plan is some sort of an
advertising scheme. Several
months ago a fellow came into
LoSueur Center and said he was
getting out a county directory
Of some kind Advertising was
sold at $50 per page and, in some
cases. half payable in advance.
So far no directory has ever APP
poared and a few seem TO be out
their $500. Recently someone
worked an advertising folder
scheme on local business men. As
near as can be estimated the total
amount paid for space by local
concerns was around $4,000. The
cost of printing the 1000 folders
gotten out was probably $1,000,
which would have been good
price. So someone cleaned up
about $4,000 of good cash from
local concerns for perhaps a
couple of days work and in an
advertising scheme of question
able value. The writer used TO
know a fellow who worked some
thing like this and who cleaned
up big money every year. He
boosted of the fact that he hook
eel the small town sucker mer-
chants for il, and said that his
game was no good in the bigger
towns, as the merchants in these
towns were wise" In view of
these things. it would be well for
merchants 10 consider rather well
before they contribute TO some
easy money scheme.

Ask the Rural Mail Man.

Local merchants can well get a
lesson from the mails delivered
by the rural carriers daily. Near
ly every day their rigs are loaded
with advertising for one of the
big mail order houses. These
people believe in keeping their
name ever before the public and
are forced to do so by the cata-
lOgue method, not that they de-
sire to, but because they are fore
ed to. They would much prefer
to use the home newspapers and
would do so if the papers would
accept their matter. The papers
are as a rule loyal to home in
terests and hold their space for
local merchants, who only too of
ten leaves the poor publisher to
starve to death, giving him no
pay ads but asking him to write
articles roasting the mail order
houses and when they want a
job of bills or other advertising
matter printed, hike off to a city
shop for fear that a competitor
might accidently see their copy
and get out better leader. We
wish to say right here that the
country publisher is as honorable
as is any other business man and
the work intruSted TO him is kept
as inviOlate as are the secrets OF
the client kept by the lawyer
