Powder River Picture
Sept. e, Eagle Theatre
KILLED TAKING "POWDER
RlNERn WAR PICTURES

I NV r. N wan ~ > ~ ~
Actual motion pictures taken on the
western front at the cost of eleven
members Of the Signal Corps of the
United States army, will be shown at
the Eagle Theatre, next Monday Sept.
22nd.
The name of this remarkable Sig
nal Corps picture is Powder River
and is the first and only authentic pic
! ture ever released by the U. S. gov
eminent as official. The scenes shown
were shot on the sectors surrounding
Cantigny, Chateau Thierry, St. Mi
|. hiel, and the Argonne Forest; and
cover the activities of every division
that saw action during these great
drives. Every branch of our service is
seen doing their share in making the
world safe for Democracy. If you
don't grip the arms Of your chair and
become excited at many of the scenes
| in Powder River it must be because
you didn't get the World War while
it was. on. Many of our own local boys
are shown falling in action. Anyone
who can see such a sight and not
feel a tightening of the throat or be
profoundly stirred certainly must be
impervious to the instinct of patriot
ism or humanity Nothing could be
more eloquent of the fact that the
American boys underwent tremen-
dous sacrifice, and display ed magni-
ficent courage. When you see on the
screen hair-raising action action that
meant death for so many of the parti-
cipants when fine strong young men
are seen to rush forward and suddenly
crumble in heap you realize the
greatest dramas ever nacted-the
first time in history that the happen,
ings of a war were preserved in visual
form just as they occurred. AS the
years go on such scenes will have
more and more value, and will be a.
powerful deterrent to those who make
war for aggressive. purposes. Pow
der River" showing as it does the
soldiers as they worked, played, and
fought, is a powerful drama of real
life that every one should see

PRACTICALLY FEW LEFT

Eagle River was practically de
serted Tuesday, due to the opening of
the duck hunting season, many leav
ing town the night before to be at
their chosen hunting grounds the next
morning. Ducks were not reported
very plentiful though, but every one
enjoyed the fine day out in the open
regardless of whether they got the
limit or not.

LaF gillette, Full Of
Human Sympathy
TRIBUTE OF FRIEND, SHOWS La
TOILETTE IN NEW LIGHT
SAYS "A o. BARTON

Madison Wis, Sept. 8, 1924
To the Editor of the Eagle River
Review:
I read with much interest, in the Re
view of Sept 4th, C. j. Augustine
analysis of LaFollette's hold on the
people of Wisconsin, together with
! II supplementary comment Of tAa
Minneapolis Tribune. May I add a
word to the discussion
Having known LaFollette well for
many years, both as his Secretary and
political co-worker, I have also FIRE
Quently asked myself, ''What is the
secret OF his hold upon the people OF
his state.'
| believe we would come close to
the secret if we ascribed it to his
wasm-heartedness and his intense hu
man sympathy. LaFollette has a
charm of personality indescribable,
and every person that meets him feels
that he or she is at once taken into
an understanding and sympathetic
heart. He seems to become a part Of
your own secret being Then there is
the element of admiration Men of
great gifts and achievements are al
ways admired by their fellows, be
cause they show the limits to which
human achievements can be pushed.
We feel that possibly we can do the
same things or approximate them. La
Toilette is supremely gifted spirit.
Many men are strong in one direction
and weak in others. LaFollette sur
passes in many directions, in his I'm
usual physical and metal alertness o.
mind, courage, personality, will, ten
acity of purpose integrity and drama
tic powers. In all these and other re
spects he tops most of his fellows.
Practically from the beginning of
his public career, these attributes have
made him marked man among men
and an object Of admiration and emula
ton. tt is said that when he began
the practice of law as district attor-
ney of Dane county, his mere walking
down the street became an event,
bristling as he was with pep and
running over with cordiality, vim and
enthusiasm.
AS LaFollette progressed in the pub
lie service, this early and growing ad
miration developed into confidence
and this in turn into a peoples faith.
LaFollette also has proved that it
pays to be true to principle. That is
what binds people to a leader. Thru
test after test, LaFollette has stood
unfalteringly by his principles. That
alone would not have made him a
great leader Many men are as true
and firm, But LaFollette mad other
gifts, vision, personality, charm, and
genius and the practical sense to
know that the way TO get results is
to go out and do things oneself.
Then his integrity has never been
questioned. 1t is LaFollette's great
heart, his intuitive understanding of
the secret aspirations of a people and
his ability and willingness to bear
the trials of leadership that has made
him so strong with the people.
Truly yours,
A. o. Bartons

:, BUILDING :
PLANT TREES ALONG ROADS
Entire Stretch of Sixty Miles of Paved
Highway in New Jersey to Be
Beautified.

Beautifying New Jersey highways by
planting shade trees, started years ago
in scattered districts by individual Ell,
forts, has been given considerable sum-
illus by the Endorsement of the new
state highway commission and Won-
ems organizations in different counties.
The movement, an outgrowth OF the
World war memorial idea, is for utility
as well as beauty. The trees viii
serve as guard rails along highways
leading to the sea.
Camden county is given credit for
the most ambitious scheme OF tree
planting. Through the movement, orig
mated by women's clubs, the entire
stretch Of 60 miles of paved highway
from the Delaware river to the Attain
| tic on the White Horse pike route
| is to be beautified.
At the present time beautiful shaded
J highways are to be found in sections
of Salem and Gloucester counties,
where most Of the trees were planted
more than fifty years ago. The plan'
as favored by the state department OF
forestry, entails cooperation on the
part Of communities and counties In
the systematic planting Of trees.
1t has been suggested that different
kinds Of trees be planted on different
highways. Instead of being Identified
by numbers, the state routes eventual
ly might be known as Maple, Elm or
/ SDruce routes
Cherry, apple and other fruit trees
i have been planted in double rows for
short distances on some of the roads.
This idea has met with approval by In
dividuals, who say it carries out III
| fashion the italian idea of having
grapes growing along the public ways.
Dogwood has added variety in some
rural sections; and big land owner
has planted chestnut trees along one
of the roads.
Road experts say shaded highways
last longer, as the trees protect the
pavement from the deterioration OF in
tense heat in summer and serve as
windbreaks to keep the roads clear of
snow in winter Drainage also is I'M
proved, these men say, and the tree
roots prevent water undermining the
hard surfaced highways. Philadelphia

ond rate legumes should be used to

Legumes Need Phosphates as Well

Legumes, like all other plants, re-
quire mineral elements such as phos
phorus and potassium as well as lime
Therefore, even legumes which are
able to obtain their nitrogen from the
air must depend on the supply of
these mineral elements present i'll the

elements is present in The soil in an

SPLENDID NEW YORK TOWN
Proportion of Owners to Renters In
! Canton, N. Y, Is approximately
Six to One.

A gazetteer informs us that Canton
New York, is "a banking post-village,
the capital of st. Lawrence county, on
the Grass River and the New York
Central and Hudson River railroad, 50
miles northeast of WATERFOWL; it has
extensive steam sawmills and flour
mills, boat works and manufactures of
cheese and cheese boxes, printing
presses, ETC., and is the seat of st. Law
renee university: It's population is
1857"
There appears to be nothing particu-
larly startling or noteworthy in these
facts. There are bigger sawlnill towns
along the Kennebec, more ambitious
flour mills in Minneapolis, more cheese
produced in any of hundred Wiscon-
sin towns and more boats built in any
eastern harbor.
What especially distinguishes this
northern New York town is that of
the 763 houses in Canton 652 are in
habited by owners, that is approx
mately 6 to l. This precisely is the
condition that makes more directly
than any other for splendid citizenship.
Che pride and satisfaction that accrueS
to the owner of home because of that
fact inevitably reflects itself in every
manifestation of that citizenship, In
his attitude toward his community,
toward his state and his government,
In his sense of civic and social re-
sponsibility, in his attachment to
hearth and family which is the base
on which our whole structure Of ciyili-
cation rests.
Canton, New York, must be splen-
did town.
