Division st. Is Improved
By Grading, Gravel, Oil
CONTRACTOR BENT PUTS ONE
BLOCK IN EXCELLENT CON-
DITIoN BY THIS METHOD

That portion of Division street lying
in other words, one block, now ranks
as the best piece of highway in town,
since Walter Bent completed his con-
tract for regarding and surfacing it
first with a coat of clay and gravel
and a top coat of crushed stone. To
make it still more durable and dust
proof, w. A. Penkowsky, agent for
the Standard Oil Co, applied a coat
of road tar to it Saturday and then a
light covering crushed stone was
spread over the entire roadway and
when it becomes thoroughly packed
by traffic over it, it will stand a lot
of automobile and wagon wear before
it will need repairs. The total cost Of
the Improvement was met by subscrip
tions from the different property own
the improved appearance and in util-
ity as public thoroughfare. We are
informed that a subscription has been
raised to improve block of Main
street in the same manner from the
Division street corner to Wall street.
The improvement of the two blocks
will decidedly add to the appearance Of
them and also in impressing strangers
with the idea that Eagle River intends
to give all of it's streets some atten-
ton in the near future.

Villas County Fair, Sept 9, 10 and II
To be Big Event of Many Attractions
ADDED FEATURES, ENTERTAIN-
ING AND INSTRUCTIVE, WILL
INSURE FAIRS SUCCESS

Several new innovations, SO far as
the Villas County Fair is concerned,
will be added this fall, to ,the attrac-
tons to be presented for the benefit
of the public. The Executive Commit
tee is figuring now on Pavilion 40
by so to be used for dancing during
the fair, for crowds to run into in case
Of rain or other incIement weather,
for speaking to be held therein and
vaudeville attractions at the fair such
as the HaWaiians of last year, who
had to give their act in the Exhibit
Hall to the inconvenience of the crowd
and those in charge of the exhibits.
There will be a ten foot stage on one.
end and the management has contract
novelty, two ladies and one gentlemen,
whose act is a headliner in Orpheum
Vaudeville all over the country. Saxo-
phone trio, two comets and trombone,
Sousaphone solos, violin etc. The gen
tleman is the only one arm saxaphone
soloist on the American stage, playing
as high as the piccolo and as low as
the trombone, with but one hand.
O'Connors and Marsh, fancy and
comedy roller skating act, will furnish
a new line of entertainment that has
not been shown here before. A Tam
boritza or Croatian orchestra from
Ironwood will be engaged to furnish
string music. Villas county has a large
population of foreign birth and this at
traction is to be engaged principally
to give them direct interest in the
entertainment, although we are assur-
ed all will enjoy their music.
A grand display of fireworks will
be shown the last night, lasting one
hour, with monster setpieces and
huge displays This was thought tc be
something necessary to end the annual
fair The Eagle River Band will play
each day and give concerts of music
of new selections each evening.
In addition, there will be the Base
Ball tournament of Villas county teams
as instituted last year, the pennant
going then to Phelps. Word has been
sent out to all the teams in Villas coun-
ty asking them to participate in this
tournament; SO far, Frank w. Carter
has received word from Winchester,
Lac du Flambeau, Eagle River and
Phelps that they will contend for hon
ors at the tournament. Other teams
planning on carrying home the pen
nant and the purse, should notify
those in charge of their intention to
take part.
Another new event, will be the Spell
ing Bee to be added from an educa-
tional standpoint Those in charge
will perfect the details soon so that
all children up to and including those
that just entered the ninth grade in
high school can participate. Children
from all over Villas county can parti-
cipate and should prepare for this
event, as there will be two prizes Of
fered; one $15 and one $10.. More will
be given out on this later.

Heavy Rainfall
But No Damage

A very hard storm in
which more than a 2 inch
water fall was recorded by
F. H. Dildine, passed over
Eagle River early Sunday
morning and was evidently
a part of the storm that did
much damage in the south
ern part of the state, and
which caused all trains thru
here Monday and Tuesday
to be three and four hours
late.

IS TOLD BY CITIZENS OF CITY

physically, mentally, and morally fiji
is indeed worth while. In short the
Boy Scout movement offers the op-
portunity to develop the highest and
best type of man and l am very
proud to have my boy-'A Scout"
Makes Them Self-Reliant
George F.. Wilt have had oc.
casion to observe the Boy Scout
movement for several years now and
am glad to say that | approve Of ii
thoroughly. 1t puts the boys through
an all-around course and turns out
manly, self-reliant young fellows,
who can be depended upon.
Recreation and Education are
combined in almost ideal proportions
and self-reliance is especially taught.
A high standard of morals is incul-
Gated as basis of requirements in
admission and, I believe, it is usually
lived up to, and usually we'll.
II am only sorry that cannot see
a great many more boys in the Scouts
than ordinarily get into it. The Bet
ter class and those of higher intell-
igence seem to be primarily the ones
that seek it out and benefit from it.
There are many who need it worse
but who do not seem to have the am
bition to get in contact with it. do
not know Of any experience during
the formative years of boys life
that can benefit him more, both at
the time and during his future life
than belonging to the Boy Scouts"
Why He Joined Scouts
Neil Cameron, son of Mr.. and Mrs
Scott Cameron, Il member of the
Scouts, tells, "Why Joined the Boy
Scouts as follows:
"At the age of ten years / joined
the Episcopal Cub" Scouts or Junior
Scouts. We had hikes and passed
tests just as the older scouts did.
Later our Scouts broke up. had to
practice tests and go hiking by my
self. | found that when. l was older
l could join the senior scouts.

gone to camp in the summer time and
had a lot Of fun, there was good

until ! was twelve.
''In( the winter ofl923 during Scout
Week the Scouts had drill at the
Auditorium where they showed many
useful things they did, l then
thought it would be nice to join.
"Last summer was twelve. In
September l tried to get in and made
it. Oh boy, was glad l made it. l
waited couple of meetings before
started taking tests. borrowed a
rope and started practicing tying
knots to be Tenderfoot Scout, it
was, hard but made it. 1t did not
take much to pass the other tests SO

crop, barley, which was increased

rather than to oats appeared to have
been due to barley having maintain

direction, may the movement grow

Mrs. II. +. O'Hare--' | believe in
the Boy Scout movement because it's
great aim and object is to make Of

"A boy must be kept busy, in fact
he will keep busy in a right or
wrong way. A boy is u gregarious
animal and travels in herds or gangs.
In order to control or direct his ac-
tivites in this line, the Boy Scout
organization was started. Both work
and play that is clean and healthful
make up these activities and also
are attractive enough to keep the
boy interested and happy. Now it is,
when n boy is thoroughly enjoying
himself that a conscientious director
can bring out the very best that is

the protein, fat, sugar, mineral mat
ter and vitamins, all Of which are
necessary for the development of a
strong, healthy body.
Milk is often the most valuable
food for infants, young children and
invalids. But in many cases raw
milk contains disease germs and
harmful bacteria which causes it to
be worse than invalid for the natur-
ally weak.
Pasteurization has been termed
the priceless safeguard of public
health. But before milk is pasteur-
lied it should be clarified; that is,
the minute, invisible particles Of for
eign matter, whether soluble or in
soluble, which cannot be removed By
the finest stainer but which, none
the less, are harmful and often cause
the repugnant taste of milk, must be
removed. No matter how carefully
the milk has been handled before and
after it reaches the dairy the clarifi-
cation is always necessary to keep
the milk clear, clean and pure.
Pasteurization is the common
method, now extensively employed,
Of applying high temperature to
milk SO as to destroy as many bac,
tcria as possible without producing
undesirable changes in the milk.
Milk should be pasteurized be-
cause; first, pasteurization renders
milk safe for bacteria and lowers the
total bacterial content of milk. The
heating process kills many germs
and the cooling checks the growth Of
others.
Secondly, pastedrization delays the
souring Of milk because it checks the
bacteria which cause milk to sour.
Urder normal conditions pasteurized
milk should keep sweet twelve hours
longer than raw milk.
Thirdly, pasteurization destroys Or
renders harmless. any disease germs
which may BE present in tn e
milk. Among the germs which it kills
are those of typhoid fever, diptheria
and tuberculosis These germs may
b. in the milk because is was drawn
from diseased cows; because persons
connected with the conveyance Of the
milk carried the germs or the milk
may. have become contaminated by
flies. 1t has been stated that the
chief cause of tuberculosis is milk
containing these germs and that
from six to seven per cent Of milk on
the market contains bovine tuberclc
bacilli.
In the fourth place, pasteurization
aids in the removal Of weed and feed
flavors. Qualification removes a large
portion and, pasteurization removes
much OF the disagreeable flavor
which remains.
Filthy, the acidity of milk is
slightly reduced by pasteurization.
Bad milk cannot be made perfect
but the danger from it's consumption
may be lessened. Boiled milk is as
safe as pasteurized milk but rs more
difficult to digest. 1t has been said

in Grand Forks today by J. G. Dia-

The value of corn and flax crops
produced in the state was create,
than during 1922, but the value OF
other crops was less, and the total
crop value also was less.
Corn yields, per acre were higher
than any time during the past 1C
years. Average yields Of flax and
tame hay also were somewhat above
their 1O-year averages and yields of
oats, barley and potatoes were some
what under their 10-ycar averages.
The 1923 corn crop was 28,207,000
bushels, as compared to the five-year
average 1917-2D of 11,956,OOO bus
hels. The crop was seven. million
bushels above that Of 1922. The to-
total farm value Of che crop in 1923
was $15,232,000 as compared to SILL
$4,000 in 1929, and the acre value
in 1923 was $500, compared to SASS
the previous year.
Shifts Shown.
The report in part follows:
There was moderate decrease in
the total acreage devoted to the nine
principal field crops in North Dakota
in 1923, compared with 1922. These
nine crops in 1923 accounted for 49,
$4,000 acres, which based upon cen
sus proportions in 1919 is indicated
to have been sc per cent of n theo-
retical total of 1868 900 acres in all
crops. In 1922 this aggregate total
was 19.9S3,O00 acres, with 19,184,OO0
devoted to the nine crops, while in
1921 the aggregate total was 19,309,-
600 acres, with 18,537,000 acres de-
voted to the nine principal crops.
Acreage shifts as between crops
were large as has been the case in
North Dakota in recent years. Spring
