CAMPS FINISH SEASON
Summer Camps for Boys and
Girls Finish Eight Weeks
of North Woods Outing.

This week will see all the boys
and girls summer vacation camps
in the north woods leaving for
their homes. For the past eight
weeks the activities which the
camp members have enjoyed will
long be treasured as a big epoch
in the lives of every boy and girl
from the cities throughout the
United States.
Today Camp Idle Wylde at
Three Lakes will close and the
half hundred girls return to their
homes. Tomorrow both of Camp
Mime Wonka's camps, boys and
girls, will leave Three Lakes
Camp Winnepe and Camp Flam1
beau on the lower chain at Eagle
River will break, leaving in the
evening in special cars on the
special at eight o'clock. Camps al
Tomahawk Lake, Minocqua, Plum
Lake and Trout lake, will also
close.
The life of the boy or girl i'm
any of the north woods camps are
for the better upon their return
after eight weeks of recreational
activity. Their health has increas
ed wonderfully and what they
have learned in clean living mean
much in their after life, especially
|when they start in fitting them
selves for a winters study and
other work. It is the making of
real men and women; normally,
mentally, and physically they have
been moulded by experienced men
and women during the past eight
weeks.
And there isn't one of them but
regret the breaking of camp where
they have materially increased lin
every way for the better. One Of
the best assets of this north woods
is the annual outing under super
vision of experts which is give in
the boy or girl from the city
home. Theirs is a perfectly clea in
upIift.

DIED AT RHINELANDER
Mrs. Augusta Harte's Body
Brought Home Yesterday.
Funeral Tomorrow.

The body of Mrs. Augusta Harte,
aged resident of Eagle River was
brought here yesterday from
Rhinelander. Mrs. Harte had been
taken to the Rhinelander hospital
last Friday by her son Frank
Murphy for treatment. Heart
trouble caused her death early
Monday morning. The funeral
will be held tomorrow morning
from the Congregational church
at 10 o'clock, with interment in
the Eagle River cemetery.
Augusta Tapley was born seven
ty-two years ago at Fort Fairfield,
Maine and was the eldest of six
children. Fort-three years ago
she was united in marriage to
George Murphy of that city and
three children resulted from that
union, two dying at an early age.
One son, Frank Murphy of Wauk-
egan, ILL.,, survives. Thirty-six
year ago the deceased moved to
Eagle River and since then has
been a resident of this village, oc-
casionally spending portion of
the time with her son at Wauke-
gan.
Besides the son, she leaves three
brothers and two sisters at Fort
Fairfield, the old home town in
Maine. Her lengthy residence in
Eagle River has occasioned the
building up of a long friendship
with the residents of this section,
who in the passing of time sees
the early-day settlers passing to
the great beyond.

The Day of Bazaars.

These are the days of bazaars1 +
the days of days to the average
woman; makes no difference if she
is a home woman or one visiting
in this neck of the woods. She
smells" every bazaar and immed-
lately "cashes in" on the bully
good things which have been made
especially for her. Bazaars are
a necessity and are splendid plad les
to go and enjoy yourself (if y pu
are woman.) Where the good
things to eat and wear comes
from is far beyond the ken of Mr..
Man. But leave it to Mrs. Woman.
She is there seven ways to the
bargain counter and is as happy
as spring lambkin after it's first
gladstone frolic over the gre n.
Eagle River is the happy hunt ing
ground for bazaars, and they are
worth the time and money spent
by every man, woman and child.
The ladies of the Catholic chur ch,
the Episcopal ladies, the Congre-
gationalists, all have held tn cir
yearly bazaars. The next one to
finish the season is the Lutherans.
Every one of the bazaars h ave
been patronized to the limit and
peace reigns supreme in ev cry
community.

CONNECTING HIGHWAY
Phelps and Iron River Have
New Highway Opened Be
tween Two States.

A new highway between Phelps
and Iron River, Michigan, was
opened to the public last week,
and is a short route to upper
Michigan. This new part of the
connecting highway was finished
few days ago permitting. travel.
There is much work to be done be-
fore it is turned over to the Michi-
gan highway commission, but it is
in good enough shape for traffic.
The new highway connects with
the road from Phelps to Smokey
lack at the boundary between the
states of Wisconsin and Michigan.
The Wisconsin end has been in use
for many years by the farmers
from Smokey lake district who US
ed Phelps as a base of supplies.
The route to Iron River from
Phelps is now trife over twenty
miles, and connects with Michigan
highway IL a few miles west of
Iron River.
In travelling to Iron River and
that section one had to go thru
Phelps and over to Nelma on High
way SO in Forest county and then
swing northeast on 73 to Iron
River. This route is a beautiful
one, but with the new highway
direct it gives a quicker connec-
ton with Iron River and other up
state Michigan points.

"SKINNING" MERCHANTS
Eagle River Business Houses
Pay Double Advertising
Rates for Community Plan
Campaign.

Campaign.
If figures don't lie, there are a
number of business houses in
Eagle River who have been hand
ed a nice mess Of pottage in adj
vertising, and have evidently do
mated doubly for their advertising
space as a result.
Several weeks ago the Villas
County News was approached by
an out-of-town advertising firm
who wished to make contract with
us for a campaign of advertising.
The rate they would charge was
more than what this paper char
ges, and a split" was asked. The
offer was Immediately turned
down fiat and the statement Civ
en- the representative that the
News was not in the market to
skin the home merchant, but
rather was here to protect their
interests and aid them in develop
ing this section. The Tomahawk
Leader and the Rice Lake Chron-
otype both turned down like
schemes, and in the July 25th is
sue we published an article from
the Leader relative to such con-
Germs and newspapers who had
fell for it. The following week
the Eagle River Review made a
sort OF a personal attack on the
News relative to advertising of
this class, and stated that they
were carrying a campaign adver-
tisement for the business men
and intimated that they split So
so with the outside firm.
Investigation shows that Eagle
River business men are paying
S24.0O for a five-inch newspaper
column space for twelve issues in
the Review. The Review on it's
editorial page carries it's display
advertising rates at Zoe per col
umn inch, or 15c per column inch
under yearly contract. At Zoe.
per inch these advs. otherwise
would only cost $1.00 per issue if
the Review feated the adyertis-
ing. AS it is the local business
man is paying $500 per issue-or
giving somebody 81 per space per
issue or $1,000 out and out.
If the Review had used it's reg
ular zoe rate the cost for the big
advertisement for twelve issues
would have been $4,000. AS it is
the advertisers, if all paid the
same, coughed up $4,000; just
double what they should if the
home newspaper had charged a
regular rate.
We have before us duplicate
of the contract entered into by
the Review and an advertiser
whereby the advertiser for this
brand of community advertising
pays $24.00 for twelve issues-or
double the rate which the Review
advertises on it's editorial page.
Taking the Reviews rate as pub
lished in it's paper each week, the
advertiser should pay but $1,000.
If there is an explanation of the
above we would like to have it
shown thirty business houses in
Eagle River WHO have taken
space in this campaign. There
are no "sour grapes in the action
of the Villas County News in see
ing that the local merchant is
shown where there Is a peculiar
phase used in advertising of this
sort at what looks to us to be a
fioated rate charged. We might
be wrong in figuring, or might
read the contract before us wrong
ly, but at that if the Review can
show why the merchant should
pay an outside firm extra money
for local advertising, then we will
gladly tell the pubic we are
wrong.
