Fired Planning Mill and
Kidnapped Watchmen

Three unknown men appeared at
the plant of the Raymond Lbr. Co.,
at Tomahawk, early one morning last
week just as the night Waterman and
his son were preparing to leave, and
while one of them kept guard over
the employees, the other two applied
kerosene and other inflamabe mater
ials to the planning mill and portions
Of the yard stock and set it Attire.
They then ordered the Waterman and
his son into their car and started
north reaching a point between Minoc
qua and Woodruff, they released their
prisoners and continued on their way
The fire destroyed the planning mill
and the watchmen were supposed to
have persisted in it until a wire from
the men from Minocqua explained
their whereabouts and was confirmed
by their arrival at Iomahawk on the
first train from the north. State fire
marshals are at work on the case and
further developments are expected as
a result.

CAN BE PLANTED EARLIER

Cold resistant Golden Glow corn
matured two weeks earlier than did
regular Golden Glow at Madison, stat
ed B. D. Loith, Wisconsin College of
Agriculture. 1t can aslo be planted
earlier in the spring for it grows when
the weather is wet and cold.
Years of selection of the most Wig
orous seedlings Of Golden Glow ger
minated in an ice box gives rise to
the resistant variety. During cold
weather it shows a greener leaf. A
May frost left the leaves consistently
greener than other varieties, observ
ed Leith. A bigger and better sileage
crop is obtained with Cold Resistant
corn for it out-yields Wisconsin No.
25.
Cold Resistant corn is recommended
for the central and north-central sec
lions of Wisconsin. In the southern
section the larger corn varieties will
outyield Cold Resistant. 1t can be
planted earlier in the spring than the
regular strain for it grows during wet
cold weather. This, as well as it's
early maturity, makes the cold resis-
tant strains suitable for regions with
a short growing season.

await a moment of illness or of lower
ed vitality to overrun their systems
and cause death.
But the actual picture is not quite
so black as figures paint it. Every
year the number of deaths from tuber-
oulosis is reduced In 1908, when the
Association started, 2509 citizens of
this state died of this disease. If that
death rate bad held for 1928, 1884
men, women and children would have
died. Only 1919 actually did die. Over
1000 lives were saved.
And the penny Christmas seal did
its share in saving them Sixteen
years ago when the Anti-Tuberculosis
Association was organized, there was
not an institution in Wisconsin equip
ped to take care of the tuberculous
To day there are more than 1900 beds
in wisconsin tuberculosis sanatoria.
The Health Service Training School
of the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis
Association has graduated 80 public
health nurses who have gone out into
the state and are fighting to keep the
youngsters in our public schools free
from tuberculosis or any other disease
by teaching preventative as well as
curative methods.
Besides this staff doctors have con
Quoted over $50 free. chest clinics
making over $4,000 examinations, in
an effort to discover cases of incip-
lent tuberculosis and get them to the
sanatorium in time for cure.
This is brief flash of the work
which the money from the penny
Christmas Seal is doing to save those
1925 school children from the death
which awaits them. The Association
is sure that it can be done. The Seals
have done the work in previous years
They will do it again this year.

Glisch Car Target Hit
By Bullet on Highway
OCCUPANTS HAD NARROW ES-
CAPE FROM FATAL INJURY ON
lRONWOoD ROAD

A closed car occupied by J. P.
Glisch, of Sucker lake, his brother
and wife from Milwaukee and two
other guests was struck by rifle
bullet a short distance out of Iron
wood, where the party had been on
Thanksgiving Day. The ball came
through the rear window and struck
the windshield breaking the glass,
some of which struck his sister-in-law
in the eye, making it necessary to re
turn to Ironwood for hospital treat
ment. AS they were driving on a
straight stretch of road at the time,
it is hard to explain why the car
should have been hit, unless from
the glancing shot of some hunter
close by the road. Mr.. Glisch says
that in future when he drives over
Michigan highways that he will cover
his car with red blanket so that
hunters will not be so apt to shoot
at it for deer.

DR.. EVA JOHNSON SUCCEEDS DR..
|. DRESEL IN CHARGE OF
HEALTH WORK

Dr. Eva f. Johnson of Madison will
be in charge of the Mother and Baby
Health Center to be held Thursday,
December 18th at the Court House,
Eagle River DR.. Johnson succeeds DIR
l. Dresel, who has recently resigned
The Mother and Baby Health Cen
ter which provides for the examina-
ton of prospective mothers and
children under six years of age has
been holding monthly health confer
ences in Villas County for the past
two years. Ii offers parents an oppop
tulity of ascertaining the physical con
dition of their children and of keeping
in touch with the approved methods of
child care. Since its establishment
over $50 examinations have been made
at the center and mothers throughout
the county have availed themselves
of this health service which is free to
all. It's aim is not to cure sick child
rem but to help keep well children well
Early discovery and correction of ply
steal defects if such exist is important
but perhaps the greatest service to
parents has been the assistance given
in securing and continuing the forma-
tion Of good habits of health. The ser
vice is purely an advisory one, de-
fects when found are always referred
to the family physician for advice and
correction il deemed advisable. Perio-
die Throughout the world, until recently
however the larger cities had almost
monopoly such health service. The
Wisconsin state board of health CO.
operating with the Federal Childrens
Bureau and local communities in a
Mother and Baby Welfare program
has established throughout the state
,hese county health centers especially
for country mothers, that they may
bring their problems to specialist,
hat they may have definite place
20 secure health information and thru
the services of a state employed ply
stefan and nurse apply this informa
ion to their own families and com
nunities. The health center staff wei
comes the mother whose children are
ways well just as cordially as they
10 the mother who finds the bringing
lp of her family presents many pro-
asas, freaueritly there are little
~ ssn these mothers
That heip make things easier and in
he bringing up of family it has
been found that it is the little things
hat sometimes count the most.
Health Center days will be beld
every four weeks as long as weather
conditions will permit the center
staff to visit Eagle River. Hours of
examination are from 1000 am. to
4:30 p. m. These hours are necessary
because of travel conditions. Last
year the snowmobile permitted the
staff to get to Eagle River, however
the trip was difficult one, and later
it may be announced that for the win
ter months, the centers will be dis
continued, to be resumed when the
roads reopen. Again it is urged that
every child under six years of age
receive an examination at the Mother
and Baby Health Center.

NOW LOCATED IN MILWAUKEE

In the departure Saturday of DR..
and Mrs. j. E. Frankel and daughter
for Milwaukee, where they will re-
side and where the former will reen-
gage in his profession and the prac-
tice of dentistry, Eagle River loses a
family that will be missed in many
ways and by many friends. "Joe"
with the exception of the years
spent in study in preparation for his
profession, has been a resident Of
Eagle River from childhood, opening
an office here Immediately upon
graduating from college, meeting with
much success from the start. Active
in the civic and social programs OF
the community, as we'll, in all of the
recreational features of the place, a
legion of friends will regret his decis-
ion to locate in a larger sphere of
business activity. Mrs. Frankel came
to Eagle River as bride nine years
ago and like her husband had firmly
established herself in the respect and
esteem of Eagle River, as lady OF
culture and refinement who took an
active part in its pleasures and So
cial life and equally as much in its
trials and sorrows. While all their
friends congratulate them upon the
advantages that will be theirs as resi-
dents of large city and wish them
unbounded success and happiness.
their absence from Eagle River will
be deeply felt and it is the hope that
their visits back to the old home
town may be frequent.
