 If the grass had not been real high and soft, the Grannys and tue little brown man and the Captain would have had bumped heads, but it did not hurt them any more to be pushed from the boat than it did the Raggedys. And it did not hurt them even a teeny weeny bit.
 Then didn't &e two mean, old, selfish Witches howl and make fun of the Rag. gedys for losing their boat? Indeed 1! They did!
 ''Ha, ha, ha, ha! the Witches laugh ed. You thought you could fool us Didn't you? But we have the magic boat now and you shall never never have it again. For we shall sail right up to the moon and take all of the Grannys' magical. things with us! We are sure that you can never follow us

MOVEMENT TO PAVE STREETS


Business men on Wall Street this
week started a movement to pave two
blocks on that street beginning at the
corner where the residence of Chas.
Chase and P. ]. Gaffney are located
and running west to Railroad street
and thence north on the street to
the Division street intersection. Both
streets are a part of the state high
way system and the state and county
viii defray their share of the expense
Abutting property owners are requir-
ed to finance the remainder and we
understand that nearly every proper
ty owner signed up for his proportion
freely, 1t is a project that we would
much like to see carried out on por-
tons of Main and Division streets,
and with the paving of a few blocks
elsewhere in town, it is only brief
space of time to wait until it will be
done. Paved streets cost money of
course, but it is money well expended
by the taxpayers and one of the best
booster features that any town can
have.

LOCALS BEATEN BY EAGLE RIVER

The old feud that has existed be-
tween the Minocqua and Eagle River
high schools for number of years
was given its death blow last Friday
when Minocqua met Eagle River in
basketball at Eagle River. MinocQua
received eoyal treatment from Eagle
River. A basket social and dance fol
lowed the game.
The local Highs bowed to the strong
Eagle River team to a score of 80 to
8, but both teams played hard and
clean throughout the game.
The Eagle River team has won
twelve out of thirteen games this sea
son. losing one game at Rhinelander
by one basket. Eagle River stated that
Minocqua game was one of the best
games of the season on their new gym
nasium floor Minocqua Times.

DOG PolsoNER BUSY

Every dog lover in town could free
~ sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Morey, Saturday when their we'll
known Scotch Terrier, Laddie, fell
a victim to Eagle Rivers dog poison
ing fiend. A perfectly harmless and in
nofensiye little pet of everyone who
knew him, his death was probably ac-
cidental in getting bait meant for
some other dog. What does not how
ever. greatly lessen the grief felt at
his loss by his owners and others who
had known him as daily caller for
a number of years. As a promoter Of
genuine grief in most families and
households, the unknown and promis-
cuous dog poisoner can cause about as
much-as any human degenerate possib

Ford Employs Enormous
Number Of WOrkingmen
IN FORD MOTOR
COMPANY INDICATES PROS ,
Porous CONDITION

Employment in the Ford Motor
Company organization is now at the
highest point in the company's history
and reflects in a general way the pros
porous condition existing in the coun-
try as well as in the automobile in
dustry
There are approximately $4,000
workers employed in Ford industries
in the United States, according to re.
cent figures. OF these, more than a.
600 work in branch assembly plants
The largest number employed in
any single manufacturing unit, is, of
course, at the Highland Park plant at
Detroit, where 6S,500 men are at work
The biggest increase in the number
employed at any one place during the
last year was made at the River
Rouge plant of the company. A year
ago, $4,000 men were employed there
while today there are nearly $4,000
workers on the payroll.
Other manufacturing units, includ-
ing the Lincoln car plant at Detroit.
and the plants at Kearny, N. T., Ham.
ilton, Ohio Green Island, N. Y,
Glassnlere, Pa, and Poughkeepsie, n
r, employ close. to "a, 900 men.
Smaller plants around Detroit give
employment to more than 500, while
at the present time there are over
1000 men at work on the company S
timber and iron ore properties in the
upper peninsular of Michigan.
Ford coal mines in Kentucky and
West Virginia are giving employment
to more than $500 men and the De

AVOID FACTION, IN ANY TOWN

There should be no faction in any
town. The property of one individual
and every Improvement made enhan-
ces the value of all property in the
community Our town is just simply
one big family. When this is discorded
there is little progress. When there is
a united pull for anything, its accom-
plishment is made easy. Envy, jeal-
ousy and hatred are things to be de,
spised. Envy is canker that gnaws
at the heart and makes folks sour, dis
grunted and unhappy. jealousy warps
the intellect and makes us unfair in
passing Judgment. Hatred doesn't pay
even from a sordid point of view. -

FAST GAME FRIDAY NIGHT WAS
LOOSELY PLAYED BY
BOTH TEAMS

In game that was marked by
loose playing on both sides Eagld
River High won easily from the Mar
ion High quint on the local floor
Friday night by the score of 35 to II.
Marion played its usual fiye-man
defensive game which caused a
change in the tactics of their oppon-
ents. The result was that both teams
were ragged in their floor work, but
Eagle had no trouble in winning cas-
lily from the downstate boys.
At the quarter Eagle had 8 to Mar
ions 3. At the half Eagle boosted
their end up to 81, meanwhile holding
the visitors to s. The third quarter
found Eagle still in the lead with 27
to Marion's 8, and the game ended
with the score above noted, So to u.
The game had tendency to get a
little rough in the last half and as a
consequence five fouls were called on
Marion and four on the home hoys
Ont of six free throws Marion Gagged
two. Eagle succeeded in ringing five
out of eight attempts.
The preliminary was played be-
tween the Sophomores and the Grad
ers. 1t was an overwhelming defeat
for the grades, the score being 26 to
4 against them, but in spite of that
it was a snappy game, with every man
on his toes and fighting hard The
little fellows can handle the ball
which means that in few more years
they will be starring on the high
school team With the brand of bas-
ketball put on by the Youngsters in
that game it is easy to see where
Eagle River High will be in the lime
light at future contests.
Friday night of this week, Elcho is
scheduled to play here, it probably
being the last game on the home floor
this season, before the tournament is
held here in the latter part Of March
Eagle High is a little beyond the Eel.

close game, Coach kracht plans on
giving next years team try-out
against the visitors. The game should
be interesting.
AS a preliminary the City Girls and

It will be worth your while to get
there on time, 7;8O, to see all the

FREE DYNAMITE FOR
THE FARMERS

Bang! Out comes another stump.
Farmers everywhere are using more
explosives and clearing more land
Within five years the amount Of pow
der and dynamite used has increased
from a few hundred thousand pounds
to over three million pounds a year
This great increase is due to farmers
locating on the new land Many min
ers have settled on cut-over tracts of
land and among them are scores of
men who are doing a great work with
dynamite in increasing the number
of tillable acres Of land in the United
States.
Do you know what is the best time
to blast stumps and stones One ID.
of powder in wet soil will do the work
Of two pounds of powder III dry soil.
Blast in the spring or in the fall after
heavy rains if you want to get the
most out of your money.
That low grade dynamite does bet
ter work blowing out stumps than
high grade dynamite and costs less,
is one Of the statements made in a
new blasting circular issued BY the
Wisconsin Experiment station. It is
essential that all explosives be well
placed and tamped if the greatest
power is to be derived from them.
Poor tamping allows some OF the gas
to escape and lowers the efficiency
Of the charge. When high shattering
power is desired as in the breaking
up Of large rocks a higher8 grade of
explosive will do the work much bet
ter.
Surplus war explosives will do the
work well and they can be obtained
much more cheaply than other explo-
sives, is the statement made by John
Swenehart, an authority in this work.
Figure out just how much explosive
you will need and get your neighbors
to do the same. BY pooling orders a
group Of farmers can make a big saw
ing because it enables them to buy in
carload lots.

W. M. A. and Brownie
In Scrap Over Routes
WISCONSIN MOTORISTS AssocIA-
TIoN MAINTAIN THAT THEIR
MAP is OFFICIAL

THE State Motorists Association
recently prepared a Corrected High
way Map from official information
furnished by the Wisconsin Highway
Commission. We spent several hun
bred dollars on the drawing, plates,
etc. and offered it to the newspapers
so that the public might be informed
of the highway changes.
"The Milwaukee Journal, as usual,
resents the scoop we made in supply
ing this vital information first. You
will receive a letter from their Brow
ME handling the truth about the mat
ter rather carelessly
He states that our map is half
right, that no map showing new
routes has been issued or approved
by the Highway Commission. Read
for yourself the letter just received
from the Highway Commission and
our sworn statement that our inform
alton comes solely from the Highway
Commission. OF course, the Milwau
kee Journal sells maps at 25cts. each
in competition with the Highway Com
missions official maps. and we give
all our maps away. You can under
stand that angle of the Journals at
titude.
There is only one source of anthem
tic information about Wisconsin
Roads that is the Highway Commits
sion. Possibly Brownie knows more
about roads than they do. Possibly
his bouncing over the roads in May
before the thaw is out of the ground
or roads properly graded, at the rate
of 5000 miles in 26 days supplies
what he knows about our roads. The
writer personally drives $4,000 miles
each summer and we have three
other cars on the road nearly all year
and still we don't think our know
ledge supercedes that of the Highway
Commission and we always regard
their INFORMATION AS RELIABLE
whether the Journal does or not.
IF YOU are an open-minded publish
er who prefers the truth is such mat
ters and are not subsidized to the will
of the Milwaukee Journal, as we as
sumo you are not, you will disregard
