RADIO ROYALTIES FOR MUSIC

Prominent composers complain to Congress that
their returns from published music hye been cut SO
per cent by radio broadcasting That is to say, the
public is only half as much disposed to buy sheet
sic when it can hear the music played and sung for
nothing The composers therefore want the copyright
law amended to require the payment of royalties for
broadcasting their productions.
1t looks like fair demand, and Congress will
probably accede to it later. Broadcastng is
certainly form Of publication and will have to be
recognized as such But if the principle is recog
nized SUCH But if the principle is once recognized
in music, it may lead to broader action. How about
broadcasting copyrighted poems, stories, plays and
other forms of literature?
Events are now moving rapidly toward a big re-
organization of the broadcasting business and it's de-
velopment along and seunder lines 1t is neces-
sary already to pay many performers When stations
are obliged to pay regularly for the entertainment
they dispense, theaers do way will probably
be discovered to make the listeners pay their share of
the expense.

Plant Salmon in Trout.

Sportsmen will be catching Col
umbia river salmon in Wisconsin s
deep lakes if an experiment now
being attempted works out salts
factorily, according to P. H. Reilly
field secretary of Wisconsin, The
Land o Lakes, Inc.
So far, 100000 lingering king
salmon have been received at the
Bayfield, hatchery in exchange
with the state of Washington fol-
Wisconsin trout fry and some
have been planted in Trout Lake
Villas county.
Before proceeding far with the
experiment, the conservation com
mission will determine first wheth-
er or not salmon are destroyers OF
other fish and their spawn. Some
years ago salmon were planted in
Lake Superior and sportsmen are
now catching them with hook and
line.
The annual meeting of the Land
o Lakes will be held in Milwaukee
October 10Th.

ROSES IN FULL BLOOM
Ginocchio Home Has Ameri-
can Beauties in Full Rega-
liza October goth.

Just last week the Milwaukee
papers stated that some Fond du
Lac lady had roses in full bloom
up to October 4th, and this has
been broadcasted by the associated
press as something wonderful. 1t
truly is for that part of Wiscon-
sin, which lies some two hundred
miles south of Eagle River, but it
IS nothing for this part of the
lake region to make a much bet
ter showing.
Mrs. John Ginocchio gathered
from her flower garden Monday
morning, October Goth, an Ameri-
can Beauty rose in perfect bloom,
and it now can be seen in the
Menefee home. A day previous
she had picked from her plants
two other roses in perfect condi-
ton, and this will show that
blooming roses in Northern Wis
consin is not a rarity way long in
the fall months.
The Ginocchio home is located
upon the shores of Yellow Birch
lake and is occupied by that fam
lily until late fall, in fact even in
the winter some of the family
come up from their home, 1913
Washington Blvd, Chicago, and
enjoy activities and outings such
as this section is becoming noted
for during the cold months. They
have owned this summer-winter
place for several years, AMI it is
being builded into a magnificent
lake shore home. A sunken gar
den devoted to plants and flowers
is located between the main lodge
and the lake on a prominence
many feet above the waters edge.
In this garden the roses spoken
of have been blooming, and this
one plant has surely broken all
records for late showings in per-
feet flower life.
When you may gather American
Beauty roses in full bloom the lat
ter part of October in this section
of the big lake region, then the
favorableness of this section cli-
matically to the man or woman
seeking a place for a home or for
q seasons outing cannot be
doubted, and the time is here for
this section of Wisconsin to
develop into an all-year playground
for those who prefer warm or
moderately cold climate free from
all impurities and where roses per-
sist in blooming most the year
round.

DESTROYED FARM BARN
John Fielder Loses Buildings
and Feed by Fire in Town
of Lincoln.

Fire destroyed the main barn
and nearby buildings on the farm
of John Fielder, town of Lincoln
farmer early Saturday morning,
entailing considerable loss. With
the buildings went all of the hay,
feed, farm machinery and one
automobile.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fielder had at
tended a Grange meeting the
night previous, arriving home in
their car about eleven o'clock.
The fire was first noticed around
four o'clock Saturday morning,
but had taken such Roadway that
practically nothing could be saved.
Several years ago the Fielder farm
home was destroyed by fire, and
this loss now, especially after the
harvest of feed and hay for win
ter usage has been destroyed,
comes rather heavy upon this
farmer.

HAVE NO OPPOSITION
Candidates for County Off
ces on Republican Ticket
VIII Run Alone.

There will be only one set of
officers to be voted on in Villas
county at the coming general
election held in November, and
they are all on the republican
ticket all the other parties and
Independents leaving their columns
blank on the ballot which the
county clerk is having printed.
There was some talk early in the
election season of a full indepen-
dent ticket being placed against
the party ticket, but this blew up
on account of some wanting it to
be a La Toilette progressive and
others a plain independent. The
result was that candidates choose
their own initiative and the ticket
fell down. After the primary,
Elvin l. Weed of Phelps stated
that he would run Independent
against Bowker the primary can
didate for sheriff, but later on de
cided to remain out of the race
According to the county clerk
there were no filings made up to
the last day, which was Wednes-
day, October 18th.

PUT MUSKIES IN MOVIES
Manitowish Bass and Muskel-
lunge Filmed in Action for
Watonians.

On the Manitowish waters w. ].
Jamison fishing tackle manufac-
turer of Chicago; Edward G.. Tay-
lor editor of the sports column of
the Chicago Daily News, and Cap
tain Charles Simpson Smith of
Manitowish, have spent the past
ten days taking moving pictures
of muskies and bass breaking
water after being hooked. The
purpose is to demonstrate the
value of the barbless hook, of
which Mr.. Jamison is the inven-
tor. By the use Of this hook small
fish are saved as the extraction of
the hook can be made quickly and
without any damage to the fish.
They got a great many pictures
showing fish that were hooked and
landed and then put back into the
water, the pictures showing the
hook to be practical and humane.
The Izaak Walton League is highly
in favor of this hook and it is pre-
dicted that within a few years a
fisherman using the old fashioned
barbed hook will be looked upon
as an outcast and not friendly to
the spirit of conservation. They
left for the trout streams where
they have special permits to catch
trout for this exhibition. Roy
Harmon of De Pere is the moving
camera man in charge of photo
graphy and they were assisted by
Pete Vance, a famous guide of
this section.-Ashland Press.

A FAIR CROP POTATOES
Spuds in This Section Freed
of Disease Will Make De-
mand on Market.

Potatoes now being marketed in
this section of the state, and par
ticularly this county and adjoining
territory in Oneida. are reported
as being Of fine material and prac-
tically free from disease. 1t is said
that lower down state, dry rot has
struck the crop and growers are
compelled to dispose of their crop
at once
Shipment to markets is rather
slow. This is on account of the
low price being paid, and for the
fact that diseased spuds down
state are flooding the market,
cutting off the demand for prime
stock. If conditions are as re-
ported, good seed stock for next
year will then be in great demand.
The grower who had his fields
"rogued" and then certified is
away ahead of the game, for he
will be able to command an extra
price for his product.
Potatoes now coming into the
Eagle River market are of a clean
class and are not diseased. This
county has been putting up a
stiff fight against potato diseases
and so far has won out to such
an extent that her product will
head the market when the price
goes up. Growers are about fin
ishing the digging of their 1924
crop.

BANQUET FOR WALTON LEAGUE
Finish Drive for Membership This Week Saturday

This week a countrywide drive is on for
members in the Villas county chapter OF the
lzaak Walton League, and from what is
learned today there will be many sportsmen
enroll for the purpose of assisting in the pre-
servatlon of game and fish and wild life in
general.
Since the chapter has been established in
CHS county, the membership has increased vol
unfairly until now there is nearly hundred
enrolled. The weeks work by Leaguers ought
to bring this number we'll into the hundreds
Every school in the county is aiding in advanc-
ing this league and they will be instrumental
IN adding to the membership
Saturday afternoon of this week the con-
test for membership closes and at $50 that
evening banquet will be held at the BIC
Woods Lodge on Big ST. German lake. Fol
loving this will be heard many able speakers
who are members of the Izaak Walton League
IN other sections of the state and in different
states
Villas county as a recreation country sees
the need of more and better protection to it's
woods, waters and wild life Take those away
and the incentive for the summer visitor is
gone and can never be brought back What
is now needed is better legislation, and better
protection IN the warden system-in fact
there is an absolute need of both in order to
do away with the destructive methods of the
fish and game hog. While great amount of
money is raised each year through licenses
and other sources, but very little is returned
to the fish and game department. According
to Elmer Hall of the conservation commission,
less than half of this money is kept in his de-
partment, and that being the fact it is up to
the sportsmen resort men and others to see
that we are given what is due US in warden
protection and protection at the coming legis-
lature.
This is not the time to favor the game hog
and violator in general; is is the time to wipe
them out Clean up the real violator and the
little fellow will mend his ways. Convictions
in number is not what this section of the state
wants; it is after the man who violates regu-
larly and is never brought into court and fined
as he should be. Why this is not done is a
much mooted question among the sportsmen
of this section of the state. Who can answer
this question satisfactorily Is it the fault
of the state commission, it's game wardens, or
is it the fault of the people? We wonder

Extra Large Wolf.

A timber wolf measuring seven
feet seven inches from tip to tip
was captured last week by Floyd
Thomas and Frank Long near
Plum lake. This is an extra large
animal, and from appearances was
very old. The wolf was caught in
trap, but after chewing the clog
off, made away with the trap until
it was shot several miles from
where it had been caught.
James Fox of Ballard lake
brought in a small wolf to Eagle
River Monday for the bounty, and
yesterday N. L. Kinney also cap
tured a medium sized animal.

COUNTRY CLUB ELECTS
Starts Foundation for Activi-
ties on New Public Golf
Course.

The results of the meeting held
on the Country Club grounds last
Wednesday afternoon, point to- the
carrying out of the proposition of
constructing and operation of a
new golf course ON the site of the
Dairy Dollar Farm in the north
end of the village. The grounds
are fronting upon the river and
Yellow Birch lake, and are said to
have a natural lay for very
sporty course.
The first business was that of
electing nine directors:
John E. Mitchell.
G. H. Wiegand.
E. w. Parsons.
Charles r. Whitney.
N. M. Emmons.
P. J. Schaefer.
G. F. Sanborn.
E. w. Ellis.
E. A. Everett.
Following this the directors
then elected the officers of the
Club:
President-E. w. Parsons.
Vice-President-E. w. Ellis.
Secretary-G. F. Sanborn.
Treasurer-N. M. Emmons.
The committee to have charge
of the construction of the club
house and golf course are:
John E. Mitchell, Chairman.
F. j. Strong.
George H. Hall.
Geo. E. O'Connor.
N. A. Colman.
While the building of this
course is still in it's infancy, there
has been very little trouble in dis
posing of the stock in the Coun-
try Club for it is seen that with
the increase in enthusiasts for
golf and the inadequate accomo-
dations which this whole north
woods contains at present, the
building of this course will add to
every part of business and pleas
ure which this country is builded
upon. There are so few grounds
where the golf lover may play
when he wills, that there has been
hundreds of people who passed on
for more favored places where
their desires could be Accommodated.

AUTO KILLS TWO COWS
Mickey Hayden Loses Two
When Car Strikes on High
way 20.

The toll to stock the past few
days within the village limits
amounts to two dead and one bad
ly injured The direct cause of
lhe accidents were from automo-
bies which struck the stock while
they were loose on the streets.
A COW belonging to Dave Gertz
was run over the latter part of
the week while she was being
driven from pasture to the Gertz
yards. With a leg broken and
numerous bruises the animal is
liable to die. The accident hap
pened on highway 26 east of the
the village.
Sunday evening two cows be-
'onging to Mickey Hayden were
run over on highway 70 near the
Boucher home and both cows
killed. 1t is stated that two cars
and the two cows met at a given
point and the collision followed.
Neither of the cars stopped and
their numbers were not secured.
From evidences shown where the
accident happened, one Of the cars
was damaged by the collision.
Glass from windshield covered a
portion of the road and one car
skidded quite a distance.

Does Not Mean Us.

The following item taken from
an exchange may hit the nail on
the head in some communities but
not so in Tomahawk. There are
but few business concerns in this
city that do not patronize the
local newspapers because they
have learned by choice the bene-
fits derived from such advertising.
Anyway if the conversation quoted
below is true or not it's worth
while reading, especially so to the
man who does not believe in news
paper advertising.
AN editor and merchant were
discussing the virtue of bill board
advertising. The merchant con-
tended that more people read the
bill boards than newspapers. After
a lengthy conversation in which
neither man would give in the
men parted. The next week the
merchant came to the newspaper
wanting to know why the obitu-
airy of his wife's mother was not
in the paper especially after he
had seen that the copy was taken
to the newspaper office. We'll"
said the editor, Il knew you
wanted that obituary read by the
people,, so l took it out and nailed
it up on your bill board" -Toma-
