EAGLE LOST THE FIRST
Rhinelander Takes the First
Game in 1923 Season Last
Wednesday.

Rhinelander cleaned up with
Eagle River last Wednesday when
their base ball team clashed with
our boys in the initial contest
of the 1923 season. Being the
first game the home boys had in
vested in, it was rather ragged as
a result, but cannot be used as a
criterion against the teams abil-
ity after the season starts.
1t was not a walk-over by any
means, and there is no alibi from
either fan or player who witness
ed or participated. Eagle Rivers
lineup Of players will make a
showing that will turn the results
hereafter on the opposite side of
the score book. Some are censur-
ing the work of the team, expect
ing a win" on the first game,
but this should not be. Rhine
lander has been playing ball for
several weeks; Eagle River had
but one practice game few days
before they faced Rhinelander.
We've never been wiped off the
slate by any means in the two
score years we have been contest
ing with Rhinelander, and there is
no reason that it should happen
in 1923.
The box score follows, and help
yourself to the results as shown
bv the score hook.

irving in Eagle River few days

is LATE FOR THIS YEAR
Applications Should Go in
During Winter to Secure
Supply of Fish Fry.

In a communication last week,
Henry Weisse who owns sum-
mer home on Big St. German
lake, asks when is the proper
time to apply for fish fry, and
who are the proper ones to make
application to. His letter reads:
AT this time of the year when
pike and trout fry for planting
arrive, many people ask me how
to obtain application blanks for
fish fry. | tell them to write the
Conservation Commission at Mad
ison to get fry from the state
hatcheries, and either to their
congressman or one of the U. S.
Senators from Wisconsin. | be-
lieve that a great many more
people would undertake the plant
! ing of fish fry if they knew that
the fry would be delivered to
them free of charge to their rail
road station. am a firm believer
in planting fish and | do hope
that you will give some data in
your paper in regard to the
method of obtaining application
blanks and fry"
Mr.. Weisse has shown that for
fry and fingerlings, it is best to
write our congressman and sena-
tors at Washington, who will be
able to secure fry from federal
hatcheries. From the state hatch
cries, one can obtain application
blanks from the Conservation
Commission or by seeing your To-
cal game warden. Let bunch of
sportsmen get together and send
in a number of applications and
guarantee the planting. Applica-
tions should be in during the win
ter, early, in order to secure fry
for the same season.
1t is up to the resort men and
sportsmen to see that the quota
of fry is received in their section.

!: Resort Ozemers' ASSN ):

Since the meeting of the Resort
Owners Association a week ago,
lively interest is now manifested
by the resort man and business
man who see the future of this
natural playground being made
worldwide with very little effort
upon their part as compared to
that of several years ago.
At the meeting held here May
24th it was shown that this lake
region has no peer, and that the
systematic advertising which this
association had given it during
the past six years has born much
fruit, and a continuation of pub
licity will win for the entire re-
gion.
To do SO it, must have the CO.
opertion of the resort man, the
business man and the sportsman;
each must give some of his time
and some. of his money if publici-
ty relative to the assets we have
for the visitor is spread broad
cast. When the solicitors for
membership approach you, remem-
Der that this association is the
one who first placed the lake re-
gion actively before the pleasure
loving public. The first advertis-
ing was done singly by few re-
sort men; now it is carried on by
the entire communities in this re-
gion, and is meeting with huge
success. To those who 'lay off"
in money and time and individual
support, it not only lessons the
efforts of the association, but ma
terially affects this individual.
Let everyone help both with sup
port collectively and individually.
Officers elected at the meeting
a week ago are:
President = Jonas Radcliffe,
Court Oreilles Lodge, Boulder
Junction.
Vice President-C. w. Frick,
Maple Beach Lodge, Pelican.
Secretary NJ J. Cypress, Eagle
River.

FOR LOCAL RED CROSS
Local Chapter Should Be
Continued Still Has War
Time Funds.

Plans are under way for the re-
organization of the Villas County
Chapter of the American Red
Cross, which had such an enviable
record during the World War
but which has had no active mem
bership for two or three years.
Miss Eleanor D. Myers, Field Rep
resentative of the American Red
Cross from the Central Division
Heaquarters in Chicago, was in
Eagle River May End and 3rd and
talked with a number of represen-
tative people, all of whom agreed
that the local chapter should be
continued in order that the funds
now on hand in the name of the
Villas County Chapter, may be re-
tanned for local uses.
C. H. Wiegand, secretary of the
old chapter, will have charge of
the renewal of memberships. A
meeting of these members will be
held at an early date, when Of
ficers will be elected.
A ]. Austin, county superinten-
dent Of schools, will have charge
of the reorganization of the Jun
Tor Red Cross.
In addition to the work for dis
abled ex-service men, and relief
work in time of disaster, the Red
Cross has a wide program of Pub
lie Health Work, which has re-
Gently been officially endorsed by
the American Medical Association.
Of particular interest to resi-
dents of Villas county, with it's
numerous lakes and rivers, is the
Life Saving and Water First Aid
work, and it is hoped that Eagle
River may have the services some
time during this summer of the
Central Division Directors Of Life
Saving, Mr.. C. A. Hyatt.

Killed All Fires.

The heavy rainstorm of Monday
quenched all the forest fires which
had been in action in the whole
Of Northern, Wisconsin for some
time past. The danger from the
fires was confined mostly to tim
oered tracts and did considerable
damage to marketable timber.
FIRE causes are from many angles;
not alone are they caused by per-
sons setting them promiscuous like.
A carelessly tossed cigarette butt
or match broken piece of bottle,
sparks from locomotive and
many other methods unbelievable
cause fires. Precautions should be
used during the dry season by
every person, especially campers
and others who cook outdoors
While picnicking.
