PRESIDENT MAKES
NATIONAL APPEAL

To the People of the United States:
An overwhelming disaster has oyertaken the people of the friend
1y nation of Japan.
While its extent has not as yet been officially reported, enough is
known to justify the statement that the cities of Toxic and Yokohama
and surrounding towns and villages have been largely if not ON
pletely destroyed by earthquake, fire and flood, with a resultant ap-
paling loss of life and restitution and distress, requiring measures of
urgent relief.
Such assistance as is within the means of the executive depart
ment of the Government will be rendered; but realizing the great suf-
fering which now needs relief and will need relief for days to come,
I am prompted to appeal urgently to the American people, whose SYM
pathies have always been so comprehensive, to contribute in aiding
the unfortunate and in giving relief to the people of Japan.
In order that the utmost coordination and effectiveness in the
administration of the relief funds be obtained, l recommend that all
contributions, clearly designated, be sent to the chairman of the Am
erican National Red Cross at Washington or to any of the local Red
Cross chapters for transmission to Japan.

HINT TO SOME AUTHOR
Wisconsin's Lakes Need the
Telling of Their Many In
teresting Features.

Someone should write book
about Wisconsin lakes. There are
several thousand Of them, large
and small, and a single volume
scarcely would exhaust the inter
esting things that could be said
about them. Of course, many of
them have been written about, but
they never have been treated col
lectively by any writer and there
appears to be no authoritive ref
erence work to supply informa-
ton concerning most of our Wis
consin lakes-not even their names
and location.
Such a book would be of inter-
est and value to a great many cit
liens Of Wisconsin, and often
would be of equal interest to resi-
dents of other states who either
have heard of many beautiful and
attractive lakes to be found in
this state, or have visited some of
them and wish to know more of
them. Even among state residents
questions frequently arise regard
ing the name, location, and char
acteristics of some certain lake,
perhaps not many miles distant,
and usually such information is
lacking, unless one happens to
meet someone who is familiar
with the facts.
Doubtless it would require some
research and preparation to write
"The Story of Wisconsin Lakes"
but it would be time we'll spent,
not only in the pleasure and in
terest that would attach to such
pursuit, but for the monetary re-
turns that probably would reward
the author. For there seems to
be need and demand for such a
book, and it doubtless would find
a place in every public library,
and In most of the libraries of
private citizens of this state.-Osh-
kosh Northwestern.

C-S Club Notes.

A new number, Mrs. Imogene
Thompson, was voted into the
club. A mistake occurred in the
proposed fund of $500 to be set
aside for community purposes. The
motion instead of being carried at
the last meeting, was tabled to al
low for further discussion, al
though all members present seem
ed in favor of the motion. The
motion was again discussed Sat
urady and then tabled. 1t is de-
sired to have an expression of
opinion from each member of the
club as to their ideas regarding
the disposition of the money.
The talk on cooperation be-
tween Country and Town, by Rev.
Davies was very interesting and
suggestive That Eagle River does
need a reading room is easily ap-
parent. The suggestion that the
club help with the disposition of
clothing for the needy this winter
appealed to a number of the mem
bers. P. M. H.

BOUNDARY CASE ACAIr
Michigan Will File Claim
for Added Land Held by
Wisconsin.

According to press dispatches
Michigan will try once more to
acquire added territory from Wis

the two states.
Wisconsin is to make no move

Diary scrap until Michigan actual

Herman L. Ekern said last week
At present Attorney General
Dougherty, Michigan, is preparing
data for the case which will be
fought out in the supreme court
and is making a careful inspection
of the boundary around Marinette
and Menominee. The territory in
volved is one of the wealthiest in
Wisconsin including much forest
and mining land.
1--WE have much information as
sembled but we will not take ac-
tive steps toward preparing a case
until Michigan files notice of suit
in the supreme court" Ekern
said.
these boundary scraps are not
at all unusual with one or more
states in the supreme court all
the time. However, we shall do
all we can to prevent Michigan
taking any of Wisconsin's terri
tory and personally | do not think
they will be able to-"

FOR COMMUNITY HALL
Indians on Flambeau Reser-
walton Try no Preserve Old
Tribal Dances.

Indians living on the Lac du
Flambeau reservation are holding
q series of dance festivals to raise
funds with which to build mod
ern community building and dane
ing pavilion.
Fearing that the love of their
oldtime dances and the Indian lore
which gives each dance it's indi-
viduality will die and be forgot
ten, says the Milwaukee Journal
reporter who recently spent sew
eral days on the reservation, the
members of the Chippewa tribe on
the Lac du Flambeau reservation
have formulated a plan whereby
they expect to perpetuate the beet
of the songs and dances of their
tribe.
John Whitefeather, sometimes
called "Anawaba," has been chosen
chief of the dancers and has gath
cred about him not only the best
dancers of the Chippewas but also
of the Winnebagoes and the Pot
tawattomies.
All the trappings dear to the
heart of the Indian have been
brought from their hiding places.
Gorgeous headdresses, beautiful
ly beaded medicine bags and sat-
chefs, moccasins made by grand
mothers and bellies adorn the hap
by dancers. The women also join
in the festivities, especially in the
religious dances, and the brilliant
ly beaded velvet Jackets, topping
skirts with rows and rows of tiny
glistening corncopias won the adj
miration of the paleface fappers.
In striking contrast to these old
squaws were a number of young
Indian women in the white girls
middies and brown knickers. Two
of they Dung women looked par
ticularly attractive in the up to
date attire and were even more
modern in their methods, as they
were the camera ticket vendors, T"
and bounced upon their victims
immediately when a camera hove
in sight.
In spite of the assurance receiv-
ed with the white pasteboards that
Now you can take all the pic
lures you want and everyone will
pose for you.' John Whitefeather
held out his horny hand for a
quarter each time picture box"
was pointed his way.
When the dancers are in need
of a rest, the young men, tall and
1.-the, play game of la crosse for
the amusement of the onlookers,
Some times John Big John, a
splendid specimen of Flambeau
Indian physique, matches 172
pounds against an available COM
blatant. His last two tests of skill
have been against Graham of
Crandon, said to be a professional
wrestler.
Spectators at the athletic stunts
at Flambeau are always interested
in the partisan spirit of the Indian
women, relatives of John Big John
and other contestants. Too excited
to remain seated. the women stand
up in the grandstand and root
for their favOriteS
