CABLE ACROSS BRIDGE
Dangerous Obstruction Plac-
ed on Main Highway Dur
ing Halloween Night En-
dangered Life.

Halloween pranks usually are of
character to promote fun and
not detrimental to safety in life
or destruction Of property. While
very little damage was done in
Eagle River during the Halloween
frolics, still there was one stunt
staged by some of the pranksters
on that evening which might have
resulted in injury and possibly
death to occupants of cars cross
ing the river bridge at the foot of
Railroad street.
During the evening a wire cable
was stretched across the driveway
and one car just had time to apply
the brakes before hitting it. Had
1T been unnoticed or had the car
been under a good rate of speed,
there would have been somebody
badly hurt or killed. From the
manner in which the cable was
placed a car hitting it would have
undoubtedly gone through the
guard rail into the river.

TO HELP
Wisconsin Manufacturers
Organize a Movement to
Benefit Dairy Farmers.

MISUNDERSTANDING that the only
way to help agriculture out of it's
present slump is to help the farm
er to help himself, the Wisconsin
Manufacturers Association is or
ganlzing a movement in that di-
rection. 1t plans to work hand in
hand with one of the very best
of agricultural organizations-the
COW testing associations.
In brief, the constructive offer
made by the newly created Agri-
cultural Bureau of the Wisconsin
Manufacturers Association is to
finance the dues of one COW test
ing association member in each of
the large dairy counties for a two
year period, providing the mem
Der will agree to test his entire
herd and remove Improbable ami
mails as they appear Thus it is
hoped to induce the farmer to APP
ply immediately in practical way
the splendid lessons the testing
association gives him.
The operation of the plan will
be under the direct supervision of
Jerry P. Riordan who is well
known as a dairyman and breeder
of Holstein cattle. In outlining
the plan, which will be put into
operation Immediately, he said,
Under our plan each member we
aid will turn over his production
record to the County Agricultural
Agent for publication. By this
means we hope to aid not only in
pointing out improbable animals,
but to encourage dairymen to
bounce the boarder cows
1t is logical that such a move
ment, the first of it's kind in the
United States, should originate in
our great dairy state where the
farmer is largely dependent upon
industrial centers for his milk
market, where the manufacturer
Is equally dependent upon the
farmer for much of his raw ma
terial, and where this mutual re-
lationship should be better under
stood.

LaChance Will Rebuild.

The business building and resi-
dence combined of o. P. LaChance
at Land O Lakes, which was des-
troyed by fire twos weeks ago, will
be rebuilt before spring. The new
building will be erected on the
corner of the lot where the old
structure was located, giving it a
frontage on the highway running
east and west and on the street
in the village running north and
south. 1t will be located about a
hundred feet north of the des-
troyed building and have an en-
trance facing both streets. 1t will
be constructed of tile blocks and
work will start at once.

Death Posts" on Highways.

Ashland county has resorted to
. striking ,method for warning
motorists regarding danger spots
on the highways where accidents
resulting in death have occurred.
Nine such death posts" have been
placed on county highways under
the direction of County Highway
Commissioner w. E. Dillon. The
posts painted black at the base
have squared off top painted
with red with white figure tell
ing the number of deaths which
occurred at the spot. The posts
are in the following locations: At
Cayuga carrying the figure 8; at
the foot of the High Bridge with
the same figure; at Odanah north
of Glidden, at Glidden Park and
between Mellen and Cayuga, each
carrying the figure 1.
This would appear to be a splen-
did idea to carry a note of warn
ing to the speed demons who are
violating the traffic laws on our
highways every day of the week.
It ought to be a good plan to put
in effect in every county in the
state.

Over half a century privileges as
a voter does not come to every
man, and during that, time if your
record is 1909 in loyalty to your
country, you sure have the down
hill shove on the fellow who,
while he has the right, failed to
carry out his obligation as an
American citizen should when it
comes to voting year after year.
Some fellows vote this year and
then next year "lay off, for var
ious reasons-or imaginative ones,
or maybe on account of lack Of
pep or any old thing that may
give him a chance for an alibi.
Last week Tuesday James Ober-
hotter, who on October 18th
passed his 18th milestone, came all
the way from his cabin on Little
Buckatoban lake to cast a vote
which made over a half century
of ballot marking. Just how he
voted, is his own business, and
that he voted Al his conscience
dictated, there is no doubt. When
a man votes as he sees best, he is
to be lauded for his doing so. But
should he vote for some guy
simply because he is told to, or
compelled to do so, then he is a
poor stick and had much better
have stayed at home.
James Oberholtzer has more
friends in this neck of the lake
region than most any other man.

Through the efforts of the resi-
dents of Conover town and the
ladies society in that town, the
sum of $4,000 was collected for
relief toward Three Lakes tornado
sufferers.
This contribution was gathered
as follows: $136.50 from all sources
by a committee of three ladies
and $3.50 by the Ladies Aid in
the town. This contribution went
direct to the, committee at Three
Lakes, therefore was not credited
to those people when the main list
was published several weeks ago.

KILLED WHILE HUNTING
Phelps Youth Shoots Self
Through Body While Car
rying Loaded Gun by Muz-
zle.

Carrying a loaded rifle with the
muzzle forward, stumbling and in
falling discharging it when strik-
ing the ground, resulted in the
loss of life to Elmer Radcliffe, son
of a settler in the town of Phelps
near the Deerskin bridge at Long
lake. The accident happened last
Friday afternoon while the lad,
his brother and father are said to
have been hunting near their
home.
Before Radcliffe died he stated
how the shooting occurred. Said
he was carrying his rifle, a 1855
calibre gun, with the muzzle for
ward on his shoulder. Stumbled,
and in falling tie gun was thrown
forward with such force that the
hammer, striking projection, was
discharged. The bullet struck the
right breast and, ranged down
ward, coming out at the hip. Re
alizing that he was mortally
wounded he called to his father
and brother who were within easy
distance. Before he died he told
how the shooting occurred.
The Radcliffe family with sew
eral others came to the town of
Phelps several years ago from Ind
lana, the Radcliffes from Indianap-
oils. They purchased farm at
the source of the Deerskin at
Long lake on the Nelma-Iron
River highway. The dead lad was
about % years of age. The body
was shipped to Indianapolis for
burial.

was principally "in the brush" of

generally it was hiking with a

DID NOT PROPERLY TAG
Potato Shippers in Oneida
County Pay Fine for Vio-
lation.

Criminal prosecutions were be-
gun last week by the Wisconsin
department of markets against
several Oneida county potato ship
pers for failure to tag or other
wise label shipments of potatoes
or the fact that they are ungraded.
Wisconsin has established four
grades of potatoes, with special
classifcations for certified seed
stock and state statutes require
the branding of the sack or con-
tainer in conformity with the reg
ulations.
The standards and labelling re-
quirements have been in effect
since 1920 and. general compliance
with their terms has been made
The recent prosecutions involve
early season shipments by certain
parties at Rhinelander. One track
buyer from Chicago was also in
volved.
Complaints were forwarded to
District Attorney John Kelley,

There are just two statements

was a Communist party organized in
