Seeing Door County and
Other Wisconsin Points
Continued from last week,

macadan road, up hill, down vale
and along the beautiful shores Of
Green bay viewing the scenery
as we went along and stopped for
dinner at Sturgeon Bay, the
hustling little city of Door county
and the county seat of same.
Here we viewed the ship building
yards where between 200 and 300
men are employed. At the time
a submarine chaser which had
seen service in the World War
was at the docks undergoing re-
pairs. We looked it over from
top TO bottom, as it is interesting
to see how an affair of that
kind is constructed. A sailor on
the boat said it's cost was $50, 900
and the speed % knots or about
rs miles per hour. Three huge
gasoline engines consume IS gal
Ions of gas per hour. The stove,
dishes and kitchen utensils were
all secured to the boat or packed
away in compartments in such
manner that the rocking of the
boat would not disturb them, as
were also the beds and tables in
the adjoining room. All was ar
ranged to take up the least pos
sible room. A Nah Jong set laid
on the table. This had probably
been used during the dark and
dreary nights out on mid-ocean.
The guide presented the writer
with a sailors cap which was
found on the submarine chaser
and which now adorns the wall in
the American office.
A visit was next made to the
large fruit packing plant where
apples are Grated and shipped
and where they are also pressed
and made into cider. OF course
the good cider was sampled and
a couple of jugfuls purchased and
taken along home. Asked if only
a few varieties of apples are
raised in Door county, as
that fruit as well as cherries are
grown there so extensively, the
superintendent of the plant said,
no, we get between Is and 20
varieties to pack"
AS newspaperman the writer
called at the office of the Door
County Advocate and became ac-
quainted with H. ]. Sanderson,
one of the publishers of that
newspaper, very pleasant
gentleman to meet and from
whom we gained considerable
information about Door county.
The newspaper is 63 years old
and Mr.. Sanderson's grandfather
was one of those who started it.
Among other things Mr.. Sander
son told us that there is a small
island out in Green bay uninhab-
tied except by about 200 deer.
Being unmolested these animals
are so tame that when visitors
come there they can go right up
and pet them.
The Sturgeon Bay editor also
stated that a book entitled
odd Peninsula Days by II. r.
Holland, Cedar Hill, Ephraim,
which is truly Door county, and
by Door county author, has just
been put on the market to be adj
ded to the collection of interest
ing works by Mr.. Holland, who is

ferry said that Former County
Commissioner Gust Anderson
was to blame for the other ferry
a short ways down the river.
Having reached Minnesota soil
the little Henry" snorted and
pranced along in poppy style
over the good roads to Pine City
and it was not long before the
route from our county seat to
Askov and home was covered,
ending the most enjoyable vaca-
ton the editor and his family
have ever had.

II was our intentions to have
visited Washington Island also
but arrived too late at ellis Rock
TO go over on the ferry. Being
stormy on the lake the ferry
made but one trip that day and
this trip probably was made
only for the reason that the
Islanders had a picnic that day
and Judge from Green Bay who
was to be the speaker was taken
over on the ferry. The return
trip was not made until the fol-
lowing day. Aside from doing
much fishing on Washington Is
land the Icelanders and Danes
there are also much interested in
Holstein cattle, deriving part of
their living from them.
Washington harbor is deep
water harbor on the north side Of
Washington Island, where in
1913 Capt. Amos Saunders built
a pier and supplied boats from
Buffalo with cordwood and fuel;
where the Oldest house in Door
county, erected in 1852, and
known as the white House" is
standing deserted, aged and
worn; where for three-quarters
rof a century steamboats, have
stopped while enroute to Chicago
and other lake ports and where
the Goodrich Transit Company's
boats still drop anchor" during
the tourist season.
BY the way Mr.. Rance of the
Rance & Sorenson Show Company
who recently showed in several
Pine county villages, told the
writer that he was the first man
TO ever show on Washington
Island. being there for the first
time in 1896 with a patent medi-
cine company and twice since.
Late Wednesday afternoon the
journey started back over the
peninsula again from Deaths
Door and ellis Rock through
Garrett Bay, Ellison Bay. Sister
Bay and Ephraim through the
large and beautiful state park to
Fish Creek where we stayed over
night at the tourist park.
The peninsula is well timber
ed. The flora is not extensive, but
the forests (some of which are
of virgin growth) of white and
red pine, hemlock, balsom and
hardwoods are beautiful. Several
stands Of beach show a forest
type that is rather unusual.
Dense stands of white cedar are
found along the shore and on the
well moistened lodges. while in
some of the fields, juniper and
more rarely the shrubby yew
(Taxus canadensis) give the eff
feet of formal planting. The
trails and pathways, which have
been constructed through the
fields and woods to the points of
chief interest in the park are
always delightful to the nature
lover. With the exception of
three distinct bluffs. the land
over the entire park is gently
rolling.
Ephraim, the adjoining village,
is the home of the oldest Mora
Wan congregation in the West.
Thursday morning we logged
leisurely along the splendid

ing the car was headed back
toward Withee, a distance of
about $50 miles and we arrived
there in time for supper after
having spent four days-one
more than planned-on a most
delightful sightseeing and re-
creational trip.

marrying his childhood sweetheart
who had promised to wait for him.
Alas for loves young dream! He

Desperation, at first, finally gives
way to inspiration. with the result
that Cortez decides to masquerade as
Prince. How the deception is car
ried out, the complications that en-
sue and the climax that develops
when the trick is exposed are all
dramatically and thrllingly depicted
Greta Nissen, the new ravishing
screen beauty, has the leading fem
mime role, while Wallace Berry and
Raymond Hatton, in the other two

ity by combining comedy and vii
lainy in maStcrful style.

HAROLD LLOYD
At THE PALACE
''The Freshman" Is Really
Very Funny

It has become such a habit for
Harold Lloyd to make comedies of
D. high grade of excellence that it
seems commonplace and Savoring of
repetition 10 say that The Fresh
man." which had its initial showing
here yesterday at the Palace thoatcr.
is another link in his unbrokcn chain
of hits. In fact, in our humble opin.
ion, 1t is the best of all of them, and
that statement is made after care
fut reflection. THE Freshman" will
remain until Tuesday night.
As soon as the Chara CtcrS and the
atmosphere are well planted, the
laughs start in-at first gently, and
then working up with increased vol
ume and velocity, until your laughs
have become ono prolonged roar.
We see Harold in his home, just
prior to leaving for college, plan
ming his campaign TO be the most
popular boy on the campus. Then
come enough scenes on the train to
introduce him to the heroine,
Jobyna Ralston. His arrival ana
welcome exceed his fondest dreams,
for he doesn't realize, in his sim
plicity, that he's been recognized
as a dub and is being kidded TO a
fare-yc- There is excellent
humor and human interest i'll tn"
scene where he makes a speech to
the students while he has a kitten
lgeting under his sweater.
The seventh episode Of III" serial
play Ball" and the new issue OF
the Pathe News arc also on the pro
gram. A very interesting study of the
wild animals Of Borneo in two reels
completes the bill which IS one OF
the most entertaining ever shown
here In New Britain.
