Government to License
The Potato Warehouses
FEDERAL RECEIPTS FOR. STORED
GOODS ACCEPTED AS COL
LATERAL AT BANKS

a series of public hearings for the
proposed licensing of potato ware
house under the United States Ware
house Act is to be held by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The first hearing is at Presque Isle,
Maine. February 49, Subsequent hear
ings will be held at Rochester, N. Y,
February 20; Grand Rapids, Mich,
February 81; Waupaca, Wise, Febru-
airy %; Minneapolis, Mimi, February
%; Fargo, N. d., February Is; and
Denver, Colo, February %.
Government licensed warehouses
are authorized under the provisions
of the United States Warehouse Act
to issue Federal receipts to the own
ers of stored products. These receipts
are now universally accepted by
banks as collateral for loans, thus aid
ing producers in the orderly market
ing of their crops. Wide interest has
developed in the proposed extension
of the act to potato warehouses, and
it is expected that producers, dealers
and warehousemen generally will
avail themselves of the advantages of
the service.
The potato hearings will be open
to the general public but the depart
ment especially desires the atten-
dance of potato dealers, warehouse
men, and growers. The hearings will
commence promptly at 10 o'clock on
the dates set and will be conducted
by Fl. S. Yohe, in charge of the admin
istration of the United States Ware
house Act by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and Paul M.
Williams, also of the Department of
Agriculture.

1923 CROP DISPOSED OF

In spite of the demoralized condi-
ton of the potato market this year,
the farm of Radcliffe brothers has
disposed of nearly all the 1928 crop
of certified seed potatoes which have
been distributed widely over the o. S.
They recently sent three cars to Ala
bama for planting purposs and last
week shipped car into Maine, the
pioneer state in the production of
fancy potatoes It is evident from
this that if more potato growers
would devote their acreage to the pro
duction of certified seed stock that
they would find no difficulty in max
ing the crop paying one any year.

This speaks well for the pupils of
Phelps. We realize that it is hard for
the parents to send their children out
of town for corrective work. It is hop
ed that this coming summer we can
save the people the trouble of going
out. of their home town for medical
attention in regard to defects, by
bringing in several Clinics, such as
Tonsil, Dental and Eye. This can be
done if we are given the support Of
every person in Villas County. More
definite plans for this will be given
later.

WISCONSIN IDEALLY SITUATED
FOR REcREATloNAL PIiHs3s0s,
ES or MIDDLE WEST

To the people from. outside the
state of Wisconsin really belongs the
credit for the discovery of Wisconsin
as one of the Nations greatest sum
mer Fairgrounds
This is a comparatively recent de-
yelopment, but it is not altogether
strange when it is considered that
even residents of Wisconsin that .e1e
ment of people whose hobby is fish
ing, hunting, canoeing OF. camping out
have learned only little of this
states unsurpassed facilities and nat
ural advantages for outdoor recreation
OF course, the. people of Wisconsin
have fished and hunted ever since the
first pioneer fought his way into the
wilderness of this region, but not un-
til recently have we begun to realize
how kind the Creator really was to
us; nor have we given serious consid
GRAFTON to capitalizing this vast nat
ural asset. And the beauty of it all
is that we can sell our climate and
scenery year after year and still re-
tain it forever
The people living in the Middle
West have not been so fortunate as
we and when the hot summer
months roll round they must seek
cooler chimes to get away from the
hot pavements and busy business cen.
tiers. Wisconsin because of her geog-
raphical location near the large CEN
terss of population is easily. accessible
to those living in sections of our coun
try from where it is well known fact
the greatest tourist travel comes
from.
Other localities having recreation
to offer have been telling these peo-
pie about their advantages and out
door attractions for years, and are
reaping the benefit.
The campaign of advertising for
Wisconsin's lake regions conducted
by the people of Wisconsin to attract
people from all over the world to
"Come to Wisconsin" for their sum-
mer outings.
Many, it is true, have been coming
here for their vacations for years in
the past, but never has there been
the influx of tourists like that in the
summer of 1923. Continuation of this
advertising means increasing num-
bers each year.
Strangers coming into our state
gives us an opportunity to show off
our wares and means the future de-
yelopment of our resources. 1t means
adding to our tax rolls, the building
up of our lake shore properties, the
development Of our industrial resourc-
es, the soils, lumber, minerals, unused
water power, etc.
If we can get people to come to Wis
consin we have an opportunity to in
terest them in our opportunities. Wis
consin regards her visitors as prospec
tive permanent residents. And many
of them do come back to stay.
The traveller of today is the citizen
of tomorrow.

High School Asks Help
In Basketball Tourney
NORTHERN LEAGUE ToURNA-
MENT TO BE HELD AT EAGLE
RIVER, MARCH 20 AND q


The basket ball Tournament for the
Northern League Athletic Association
has been accepted by Eagle River this
year The schools in this League are,
Crandon, Argonne, Laona, Wabeno,
Gillette, Surfing, Goodman and Eagle
River The date for the Tournament
has not been definitely decided but
it will probably be held on March 20
and ri
On account of the location Of Eagle
River the railroad fare will run up
quite high and so an effort will be
made to cut down expenses as much
as possible to make the Tournament
pay for itself In order to do this the
local school is at present asking for
volunteers, from among those of the
public spirited citizens of Eagle River
who can do so, to room and board one
or two of the sixty odd visitors who
viii be in our village to participate in
this Tournament. Anyone wishing to
help out in this manner may call up
the High School or notify anyone of
the High School pupils.
Remember, this is advertising and
boosting your town and school. We
have an excellent place to hold such a
tournament. Lets all get together and
boost. Lets show these visitors who
represent seven different villages that
Eagle River knows how to entertain
its guests. We already have eighty
five signers to our petition asking for
financial backing and we are also sure
of entertainment of some thirty odd
people but we need places for about
again as many Who will volunteer?

week. The proposed salary increase
no more than offsets the shrinkage
in the value of the dollar since the
present $500 salary was fixed by the
people
Results of inadequate Salary
The results of the present made
quate salary paid members Of the
Wisconsin Legislature are the follow
ing
/. Only well to do men can afford
to be members of the legislature, and
this is particularly true of men who
have any other business or employ
ment
2 It is difficult to get men who
are not wealthy or retired to become
candidates for the legislature.
3. A large percentage of the men
elected come with the idea Of serv-
ing only one term and do not run for
reelection
4. Many members cannot afford
to stay in Madison during the entire
session. In consequence, many mem
bers are absent when the most i'm.
portant bills are voted on.
Sessions Always Long
Many men who become candidates
for the legislature do so in the be-
lief that it is possible to materially
reduce the length of legislative ses-
sions. The fact, however, is that
every regular session of the last
twenty years has lasted five months
or more regardless of the political
composition of the legislation
Nor are limited sessions desirable
In none of the states which have lin.
tied sessions is every bill given a
public hearing and is actually voted
upon at least in the house in which
it was introduced, as is the case in
Wisconsin. There are neither more
bills nor more legislation in Wiscon-
sin than in these states; but there is
better consideration of bills, which is
certainly in the public interest
The Question of Economy
The legislature of Wisconsin has
direct control over the expenditures
of all state departments and institu-
TONS The net total disbursements of
the state treasury have for some
years exceeded $30,OOO,OOO per year
In comparison, the total of the salar-
les of all members of the legislature,
if increased as proposed, will be only
500, $50 Many bills that come before
each Legislature involve expenditures
ten to one hundred times as great In
view of this fact it is penny wise and
pound foolish to vote against an in
crease in the present inadequate sal
The Fundamental Issue
This matter OF the salary of the
airy of members of the legislature.
members of the legislature goes to
the very roots of democratic govern
ment. The present inadequate salary
is not only grossly unfair, but tends
toward the control of the state gov
eminent by special interests to the
exclusion of the farmers, working
men and others of small means The
continuance of the $500 salary is de-

sired by those who wish to keep the
people from controlling their own gov
eminent. For the same reason, every
voter who believes in giving all citi-
zens- rich and poor alike-an equal
chance to participate in government
should vote for the proposed $3.50
salary

Salary Fixed in 1881

When the people in 1881 fixed the
salary Of members of the legislature
at $500 per term, this was a reason
able salary Since 1881, however, the
value of the dollar has shrunk to 40
cents or less, as measured in terms
of what the dollar will buy. An illus
tration of this change is afforded by
what room rent and board in Madison
cost in 1881 as compared with their
cost today. At that time, according
to the university catalogue, rooms
with private families could be rented
for $500 per term Give months) and
that board cost from $175 to $500 per

COUNTY NURSE SAYS
CONDITIONS IMPROVE

Second inspection of Phelps school
shows interest in health and physical
welfare OF pupils.
The success of health work is not
the number of schools inspected nor
the number of homes visited, it de-
ponds on the results obtained from
these visits. The County Nurse feels
that the people are cooperating with
her as well as can be expected. We
know that it is hard for the parents
to have much corrective work done
and when they make an effort to help
it is greatly appreciated Part of Jan
uary was spent at Phelps, making the
regular inspection Of the pupils. A
great Improvement has been made in
the past year in regard to personal
cleanliness among some of the pupils,
an example of the conditions last year
and this year. In 1923 it was neces-
sary to exclude 16 children on account
of having head lice. This year only
two children (from the same family
were excluded and two were given no
tees that nits were found on their
heads. Last year several cases of itch
were found, this year none, altho four
ceases of suspicious impetigo were pre-
sent, these were under the care of the
family physician. About SO per cent
more of the pupils are brushing their
teeth. This shows that the pupils are
taking more pride in their own person
al care. The teachers are to be COM
mended for their hearty support in
this work

Voters viii Decide Upon
legislators Salary Raise
WHY SALARY OF MEMBERS OF
WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE
SHOULD BE INCREASED

At the election in April, 1924, the
people of Wisconsin will vote upon
an amendment to the state constitu-
ton to increase the salary Of mem
bers of the legislature to $3.50 per
year. This amendment has passed
two successive legislatures unani-
mously, being supported by every
party and every faction.
