Before it is Too Late.

Only few minutes of a tornado
and the village of Three Lakes was
destroyed. Practically no tornado
insurance was carried by Three
Lakes folks.
What about Eagle River?
The sum of SLIGO per annum will
pay for $1,000 Tornado Insurance;
or only $500 for three years; or,
just $6.40 for the full five years.
Can you carry your own lorna
do Insurance at this rate? Think
il over seriously. Act at once and
insure your home with one of the
leading American cOmpanies-the
AETNA Insurance Company. Do
it before it is too late.

Very Few Chickens.

: Prairie chickens are scarce in
this section of Villas county
according to hunters who have
been pursuing them since last Sat-
urday, the opening day of the sea-
son. Due to the rainy spring and
cold weather during the Matching
season the young were killed, and
this points toward the partridge
as being in the same class. Very
few of the latter birds are being
seen, and if there is a scarcity,
sportsmen should LAY off" and not
deplete the present supply of old
birds. Deer is said to be plentiful
by the sportsmen who have been
hunting chickens and ducks. The
latter game is also not so numer-
ous,, the present supply being the
home crop. The fall flight will
not start for another couple
weeks.

AGE WAS SIXTY-THREE
Mrs Fred Dolanski Died of
Dropsy Last Sunday Morn
ing at Lincoln Home.

Surviving her husband but four
months the death of Mrs. Fred
Dolanski, ST., occurred early Sun
day morning at the farm home in
town Of Lincoln about four miles
southwest Of Eagle River. Dropsy
was the direct cause from which
Mrs. Dolansky has been sufferer
for some time.
Funeral services were held from
the Catholic church in the village
at $50 this morning, the body
being followed to the grave by all
the surviving children and rela-
tives and neighbors.
Marie Planete was born in
Bohemia a little over sixty-three
years ago. In that country she
was united in marriage to Fred
Dolanski and they later on came
to the United States. First they
settled in Pennsylvania, going
from there to Texas and then to
Illinois. Some sixteen years AGO
Mrs. Dolanski and husband vi h
their eight children, care to Villas
county and settled upon . { il
the town of Lincoln abou four
miles southwest Of the vi lage.
At the time Of her death all the
children had married except Fred,
Jr., and William. Early last May
Mr.. Dolanski died after a short i'll
ness, and since that period the
wifes health declined

lily of eleven are: Mrs. Fred John
SON, Mrs. Joseph Keefe, Mrs. Geo.
Rogers, Mrs. Harry Herman and
Mrs. Peter Rumsey, al Of CHICAGO;
Anton, Fred and William, residents

mother have left heritage
worthy Of recording.

Leave for the West.

The David Seward family left
Eagle River Monday morning for
the west coast, expecting to make
that section of the States their
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Seward have
been residents of this section for
almost twenty years, Mr.. Seward
following painting and decorating
as a business. For many years the
family resided on a farm on the
Deerskin river northeast of the
village, later coming to the village
as permanent residents. The fam
lily is one that created rather than
eliminated friends, and in leaving
they were accorded many farewell
parties. They left Eagle River
Monday morning in their Rec
speed wagon, and expect to spend
several months on their overland
journey before locating. Their
ultimate destination will be the
California coast. 1t is a safe bet
that within the next year Eagle
River will again call them resi-
dents, for the call of the wild is
too much for the deposed King of
the Deerskin.

Name of Crabapple

The name crabapple appears to be
of Scandinavian origin, and akin to
the Swedish "krabbaple," says Nature
Magazine Skeat offers the explana-
ton that the Swedish word is relat-
ed to the name "krabba," as applied
to the sea creature. He adds that ap-
plication of the word to the fruit was
perhaps from some notion of pinch
ing, in allusion to the extreme sour
ness of the taste" of the crabapple. In
this he finds resemblance to the
"pinchin" action of the claws Of the
crustacean.
