He's Nervous.

The first instinct Of a mother is to
a mistake, or If he is not holding his
own against the field. his mother is
quick to put him in the best possible
light and make all excuse possible for
him Which is right and quite as it
should be- But | do wish she wouldn't
say Hes so nervous"
AS soon as a school man or woman
hears that he says, Another spoiled
child. What he needs most is discip-
line" And he will be right. BY dis
cipline he means training, not punish
ment, an entirely different matter.
A great many times the child's lack
is due to his parents inability to dis
cipline themselves. 1t hurts them to
see their child grieving, and rather
than suffer the hurt which they mis-
take for love Of their baby, they re-
move the cause Of the baby's grief. In
plain English. to make themselves
comfortable, they give the baby his
way and beam to see him smile again.
Then one day it is not possible to
give him what he wants. He reaches
out for the moon and finds that 1t is
just out of reach. He demands Of his
unhappy parents that they hand 1t
down to him. When they fail to de-
liver 1t on schedule time he bursts
into a wall of distress that grows in
power as his Indignation grows. You
see" says one OF the other Of them
anxiously, hes such Il nervous
child" The polite onlooker mods and
goes away from there.
The youngster begins to sense that
his behavior is excused by that mag
ical word. BY and by he arrives in
school, led by his anxious-eyed mother,
who says to the clerk in confidential
tones: "Give him to good teacher.
He's such a nervous child. | have
had a lot of trouble with him." So
does the teacher. In school it is neces-
sary for the child to take personally
directions that are given impersonally.
This sort of child does nothing of the
kind. He follows no direction at all
and when the teacher gets after him
he sets up his defensive wall. The
teacher insists that he do his work
and he insists upon lodging it and
whining about it. When his mother
comes she takes an attitude not a pat
ronizing one.

child. You should have little patti

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Cancer.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
very different outlook on life from
that which prevailed today. You will
view things with complacency, and
feel buoyant and encouraged. The
sense of self-satisfaction may, un-
less common sense comes to the res
cue, be as productive of harm, as
lack of self.confidence; you must not
permit the optimistic attitude Gre
you to bite off more than you can
chew" Every one has his or her linn
itationS, and the one that fully realizes
this generally achieves both success
and happiness. The vibrations that
prevail denote that marriages solem-

made in Heaven, will create for the
principal actors a Paradise of love
and contentment.
enjoy exceptional health and may, in
all probability, attain a remarkable
degree Of physical prowess. This is
not always an unmiXed blessing, as
its immunity from sickness may rem
der it so daring and so impervious to
risk as to invite accident and danger.
Temperamentally, this child will be
boisterous, and rather impatient OF
the frailties and weaknesses of others
1t will fail to display that degree OF
consideration and sacrifice which
renders SO many children charming
and attractive. No occupation in.
volving work of sedentary character
should be chosen for this child. 1t
will shine either in an outdoor or a
mechanical capacity.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
are fortunate in being blessed with
character that is stanch. and ma
ture that is at once tender and true.
Your attributes are such, and your
attention to, and care of. those you
love is SO patient to one and all that
your home life is justly considered
both model and ideal.
Your abilities are not so evident as
your emotional characteristics, and
your kindness of heart and considera-
ton for others often prevents you
achieving the special object you may
have in mind. You are not original
nor do you possess either initiative or
marked executive ability. Conse-
quently, you are more fitted to fill
some subordinate position than one of
command or leadership. In any post,
however, you are loyal to the inter
ests you represent and do every
thing intrusted to your care with
conscientiousness and meticulous
care.

SOMEONE BLUNDERED
State Supreme Court to De-
termine What Constitu-
tional Amendment Actu-
ally Means.

The state supreme court will
be called upon to decide whether
Section 10 of Article VIII of the
State Constitution, as amended by
the referendum at the last general
election, limits the amount that the
state may spend for highway con-
struction and demonstration to two
tenths of a mill of the taxable
property of the state annually, or
whether the two-tenths of a mill
applies only to forestry and that
there is no limit to the amount
that may be used for highways.
The intent of the legislature, and
the voters at the referendum, is
quite clear. They meant to leave
the provision for highways as it
was, and to add a sentence to per-
NIT the state to engage in the i'm
portan business of forestry, but
when the amendment was added it
was found that the language is far
from clear, and that 1t seems to
limit the total amount that may
be expended annually to two-tenths
of mill, or about one million dol
lars.
Attorney General H. L. Ekern
has advised Secretary of State Fred
R. Zimmerman that, in his opinion,
the highway appropriation in un-
limited, but that the question is of
such Importance and the amount
of money involved is so large, that
a final decision must come from
the supreme court.
The highway commission also de-
sires an Interpretation. 1t cannot
let contracts and incur expenses,
knowing that any taxpayer may at
any time enjoin the Secretary of
State and the State Treasurer from
paying the bills.
The case will be argued in the
supreme court on May 18th.

Progress In Building,

The Eagle Bakery will take over
its new quarters the latter part of
the week. It's new brick place of
business is just about ready today,
and by the last of the week every
thing will be arranged by Mr.. and
Mrs. Troyer for their opening for
business in their own home. This
week brick work will start on the
new LaRenzie business building To-
Gated across the street from the
Eagle Theatre. Larry Kuehne's
new brick building has all of the
walls completed and the roof in
stalled. He will be ready to occupy
his new place within a few weeks.
The appearance of Eagle River
generally shows building operations
to be toward new places of bust
ness, and besides that so many new
homes are being erected that it is
impossible to secure the names of
the owners. Now if we can get
better streets for the summer be-
fore laying our permanent pave
ments; that is level 'em up and oil
EN-, this old town will not appear
so bad. Dust storms are not con-
ducive to the comfort necessary in
any business city, and Eagle River
merchants and residents have had
their fill lately.

IKE WALTONS BANQUET
Date Set for May 21st at Log
Cabin Resort for Election
of Officers and Eats"

Ike Waltons and their ladies, to-
gether with friends, are preparing
for big feed and general good
time next week Thursday evening,
May 21st, at Jack Hunters Log
Cabin resort on Big St. German
lake.
This meeting was scheduled to be
held after the Outdoor Show in
Chicago, and besides being held for
the election of officers, there will be
reports made on the national con-
vention of Waltonians at Chicago
in April and of the National Out
door Show just closing this Sat-
urday night. Both the convention
and the show are of vital interest
to every man or woman and boy or
girl in this lake region. And to
every sportsman who is a real sport
as well-and to those fellows who
for some imaginary reason fails to
grasp the fact that he or she are
just as vitality interested in all this
as the others who are devoting
their time for the betterment and
preservation of wild life and
cleaner manhood and womanhood
of the coming generation of boys
and girls.
Not alone is the Waltonian lea
que for the grown man or woman
or the sportsman or conservation
list. If the boy or girl is taught the
value of cleanliness which the Big
Outdoors bring forth in all magni-
tude, there will be less street walk
ing, less fappers and less fapper
chasers. Show me a boy or girl
brought up with a love for the out
door life and | can point to them

the structure which is expected to
be finished sometime this summer.
The work of placing the grounds
in shape has already started under
Mr.. Mitchells supervision and while
part will be utilized this summer
late, the course will not be open to
players until next season. Then it
will be in perfect playing condition.
Nature has laid out mighty
sporty course and it will not need
many artificial or man-made addi-
lions in order to place this course
as one Of the best in the state.
With the ninety-fve acres at hand
a choice of building spots and
grounds layout is easily obtained.

additions for comfort and used as
a picnic grounds by players and
their guests. Nearby will be build
ed and laid out portions of the
grounds for tennis courts and kim
dred sports usually in touch with
a club of magnitude. The golf
course itself takes in over three
thousand yards.
The club building will contain a

best select material; it will be used
strictly for social functions. Smok-

MATCHING PIKE SPAWN
Average Run of Eggs Being
Matched This Week From
Sub-Hatchery.

Present conditions show that the
hatch of pike spawn will be up to
the average in the sub-hatchery in
Eagle River, even though the
water is rather cold for a good
hatch. Last year almost every
hatchery had trouble with the
spawn on account of cold water
and varying conditions which
caused the eggs to mass into bun
ches, killing the life of the egg. In
some of the hatcheries all of the
spawn had to be dumped into the
sewers and the loss to the state
was very heavy.
Matching was started a week ago
and at the end of twenty days the
eggs are turned into minute parti-
cles of fish life. Then after day
or so, the baby fish must be planted
for they revert to cannibalism and
destroy each other.
Saturday the state fish car came
up and will lay over here until
shipment of fry is started; then it
will distribute to the many lakes
where applications have been made
for pike fry. If anyone has not
placed in applications for pike fry
it should be done at once, for the
distribution dates are approaching.
The Eagle waters give the best
Matching record of any in this Sec
ton.

kitchen and dining equipment will
be installed. In the basement will
be located the quarters for the pro-
fessional overseer and a store room
for supplies, full equipment to be
carried at all times.
This building has the proper lay
for one of the most enticing places
for the man or woman socially and
recreationally inclined. And with
a perfect ground for golf and other
sports it gives one the fact that the
Country Club will be a popular
place during the seasons as they
come along for many years. Mr..
Mitchell came up a month earlier
and will devote his summer in
experimenting the Clubs holdings.

HOW THEY'RE DOING 1T
Hurley's Legionaires Take in
Class of Sixty During the
Month of April.

Hurley Legionaires are sure do
ing land office business in recruit
ing ex-service men into the ranks
of the American Legion.
And they are doing ii right, for
the class of sixty they indicted
into the order from April 18th to
April 28th, shows that they have
missed very few boys" who were
participants in the Worlds War.
Just to show what they have
done, the following gives the per-
centage of ex-service men who are
now Legionaires in Iron county:

Hurley $50; Cary 80%6; Gle 1879;
Pence $50; Epson 500; Mercer
500; Van Buskirk 500.
The American Legion in Villas
county is far below that standard
in membership. While the county
organization is working hard to
bring the membership up to where
it belongs, there seems to be some
sort of hidden opposition that re-
tards the efforts of the boys who
want this county one of the high
class ones.
The Villas county chapter is not
an Eagle River organization-it is
for the entire county. Many think
it is local; get that bee out of your
bonnet, fellows. By joining the or
ganiZation, which costs something
around three dollars per, you really
are helping yourself and the other
boys in securing their just dues. 1t
all can't be done in a minute, but
when you know of what the Ameri-
can Legion post in Villas county
has done in readjusted compensa-
ton for you, and at absolutely no
cost Of lawyer fees, then would it
not be good return for services
rendered for you to Join up and
help somebody else.
