Child Welfare Special, the depart
ment's mobile health center. Her
immediate activities will be in adj
jacent counties, including Lang
lade, Marinette, Florence and Door.
Her headquarters will continue at
Rhinelander, and later will be
changed to other districts where
the Special has worked. She will
also work in counties where no
county nurses are employed. A sue
cessor for her county health CEN
tiers in Marinette, Forest, Oneida
and Villas counties will not be
named, according to the state board
of health. These will be continued
by county nurses where employed.
and by local workers.
The Child Welfare Special will

SITUATION is CRITICAL
c..oe of Water in Lower
Chain Reservoir Reached
Danger Stage Saturday.

poIaf to some extent was given
Aka yiIlage Of Eagle River and out
, ;Ia users of electrical energy which
sba municipal plant furnishes to
tbis section, when a supply of wa
~ pas turned loose from the Up
.r chain reservoir and the Twin
Ioto district and allowed to in
lease the rapidly falling waters Of
tLo Wisconsin river and lower chain
= lakes which furnishes power for
tbo operation Of the plant at Otter
rapids
+ was so critical Saturday that
+bore was nothing else to do but
close the power plant at the dam
,.,Iass water could be obtained
frm1 other than natural resources
IN The shape of abundant rainfall.
Tbc plant was able to only furnish
10 volts instead Of 10 volts as
r.uaT This was insufficient to give
Fobts and as for power, that was
absolutely out of the question. Had
tbo plant been compelled to shut
down. it would have stagnated
business i'm Eagle River and other
nearby villages and communities
dcpending upon it's operation. This
ropId have closed all the news
nanar plants, movie houses and
worked untold damage upon the
establishments depending upon
electrical power for refrigeration
purposes.
With the assistance given by the
Wisconsin Valley improvement Co.
IN loosening a water head from two
big reservoirs, and with crew of
men opening up dams and fiowagcs
which held a storage of water
raised by beavers, it now appears
that we can operate with the judic-
ious use Of electrical energy until
the fall rains fill up our reservoirs.
The guage at the dam shows less
than nine feet of water; it should
be up to over eleven feet in order
to safely operate.
For over thirty years there has
not been the lack of water that is
now shown in all of the rivers and
lakes in this entire region north of
Amigo. Upper Michigan is worse
oil than Upper Wisconsin. Many
are the plants closed down in Mich
igan and in the western part Of
the stare of Wisconsin, mills have
closed down on account of lack of
water Dams on the Sturgeon,
Pine and Menominee rivers, oper-
ated by the Peninsular Power COM
pany have been partially shut
down The coal and oil burning
equipment is being pushed to cap
acity to make up for the shortage
of electrical generation by the wa
ter powers.

AUTO CAMPING MENACE
Drastic Measures are Neces-
sary According to Noted
Outdoor Man.

In an address. at the monster
picnic Of the Associated commun-
tiles of Upper Highway Thirteen,
comprised of Phillips, Fifeld, Park
Falls, Glidden, Butternut and Mel
zen, Milo E. Westbrooke, Secretary
Treasurer Of the Outdoor Life
Association of America sounded
warning against the menace of
auto camping.
He said, Auto camping is the
fastest growing outdoor sport in
America today. 1t is estimated
that the number of auto campers
who will have been on the high
ways and in the forests this sum-
mer will be. over four million. From
a conservation standpoint this is
the worst thing that could happen
to the forest and wild life in this
country. The average run of auto
campers are cfty people, totally
ignorant of campcraft and the
etiquette of the forest; they know
little of the hazards of forest fires:
they will break camp and leave
fires burning. Foresters who are
IN a position to know claim that
human carelessness continues to
be the chief cause of all forest fires.
The number of man-caused fires in
1873 ran as high as 80 percent of
the total In certain sections of the
country and is approximately 80
percent for the country as whole"
Con tinuin g, Mr.. Westbrooke
stated, From my observation of
the 5000 nile auto camping trip |
made this summer indications are
that unless effective measures are
Immediately adopted, the wild life,
the game cover and public play
grounds will be practically all des-
troyed within a generation"
Another thing Mr.. Westbrooke
advocated was, that all commun-
tiles having a tourist camp should
make charge of no less than SOC
per car per night.
Continuing he stated, 1T is not
economically sound to tax the
people of your community to pro-
vide free accommodations to the
travelling public, no more than it
would be for you to erect hotel
and lodge and feed people without
charge"
Concluding he stated that the
auto camper has come to stay and
the army will increase in great
numbers each year.
you have a grave problem be-
fore you if you wish to save your
wild life and prevent forest fires.
Drastic and effective means must
be taken Immediately to meet the
situation" he said.
Mr.. Westbrooke is Manager of
the National Outdoor Life Expo
sition which is held in Chicago
during the month Of May each year,
and surely is in a position to know
whereof he speaks.

10 the Members of the Villas Coun-
ty Agricultural Society:

Pursuant to authorization given at Spec
lal Meeting called for that purpose Saturday
evening, August 18th, the officers attempted to
secure loan of $500 from the Farmers & Mer-
chants State Bank in order to pay UP the $500
notes there against that are payable upon
demand, secure certain credits from other
sources mentioned at the meeting on $500
other notes, thus wiping them out, and placing
the other $1,000 to our bank credit in order to
pay interest, etc., thus cleaning up our debts at
the bank and starting the finances off with
clean slate Tuesday, August 18TH the bank
notified US they would not handle the loan, and
IN addition, without any authority from us
whatever deliberately withdrew from our
BANK BALANCE of $147555 the full amount
and applied same without any authority from
us on two notes that the bank examiners recoe-
nlzed as forgeries and marked them N G. Thus
the bank directors of this old institution have
wiped out your funds legally or illegally and
LETT you without any funds to carry on this
years County Fair which was but two weeks
away and many bills already incurred.
1t is our opinion that they had no legal
right whatever to apply our cash balance on
these two N. G. notes and that they attempted
to force us to make an adjustment of the
illegal notes.
The Farmers & Merchants State Bank, hav-
ing turned down request for loan, having
wiped out our cash balance there, we applied to
the First National Bank and would have re-
ceived $4,000 upon giving real estate mort
gage as security Before the abstract was de-
livered to us, Jonas Radcliffe their attorney
served attachment papers against US for $780,
tying up our land and with our cash wiped out
our security gone, and the Fair about week
away, we were doomed.
However, group of directors of the First
National Bank, decided to loan us $4,000 for six
months in order to put the Fair on, rather than
allow it to be killed this year, as seemed to be
the intention.

AUTO PARTY HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Three Passengers of Auto
Stage Are Overcome BY
Fumes From The
Exhaust

What came near being a fatal ac-
cident occurred last Monday on the
stage that is driven from this city
to Pine by Seth Harris. Messrs Pot
ter, Claude Clays and William Tate
were in the rear of the stage which
was tightly curtained. Upon some
thing going wrong with the machine,
Mr.. Harris the driver, noticed that
they were breathing exceptionally
hard and upon examination found
that they were all unconscious. He
Immediately got them out in the
snow and revived them and took
them to Pine where they were given
medical attention and at the pres
ent time are none the worse for
their unpleasant experience.
1t is believed that air in the close
ly closed car became saturated with
monoxide gas from the engine and
that was the cause OF. their suffoca-
ton.

Among the recently elected coun-

missioners Horace B. Howland, S.

County Treasurer Mary G. McLaugh-
lin and County Engineer Seward. 1t
is not known whether or not Mr..
Seward will qualify as County En-
gineer. In addition to the above
all of the other officers have been re-
elected however, a contest case is
now pending over the office of asses
sor.
Considerable strife prevailed at
the time of the general election and
hard feelings were made both pro
and con but 1t is with considerable
satisfaction that we note that much
of this is now being forgotten and
spirit of cooperation from all sides
is now manifesting itself.
Despite personal feelings in po-
litical controversy the citizen, who
can forget the strife of the
election and lend a hand to the
wheel is the man or woman who will
do the most ultimately for the good
of the entire county.
The Republican will lend a hand
to the officers of Elmore County
whenever possible for the uplift and
betterment of the county and to
make their various positions the
easier and we bespeak for them the
heartiest approval and help of the
entire commonwealth.

VERNE |. TAYLOR
IN JAIL AGAIN
Slayer Is Again In The Jail
Facing Another Insanity
Charge In The Probate
Court

After having been acquitted by ;
jury in an insanity inquisition las
Monday night, Vern L. Taylor agair
walked the streets of Mountain HON,
at 12:45 a. m. Immediately after the
jury sent in their verdict. Taylor
had been confined in the county jail
since last March and since the con-
clusion of the murder trial had been
kept in solitary confinment, pursuant
to the order of the District Judge.
This was done as precautionary
measure for the protection of the
other prisoners.
Taylor's liberty was short lived
however as last Tuesday evening
about eight O'Clock he was again taxi
en- into custody by Sheriff Stevens
upon a warrant which was issued on
the complaint of William Devlin, of
this city, on charge of insanity and
he will be tried in the Probate Court.
At the time of his arrest, Taylor,
with his father was packing his suit
case with the idea of going to Boise.
1t is understood that the elder Tay-
lor was prevailing upon his son to
enter the veterans hospital at that
place for treatment as to his mental
condition.
Taylor spent the greater part of
last Tuesday going over his posses
sions in his law Office and it is pre-
sumed that he was making prepara-
tions to again resume his practice, al
though his father was attempting to
persuade him to submit to treatment
at the hands of he government.
The date of the hearing in the
Probate Court has not been set and
will not likely be held until some
time during the coming week. At
torney Stafford, of Gooding, arrived
on Tuesday Moons train to again
take up his defense. 1t is under
stood that an effort is now under
way to have Taylor taken to the
government hospital should he be
found insane in the Probate Court,
but some opposition has developed TO
his procedure and the entire matter
will be watched with considerable in
.erest.
Considerable feeling was manifest i
ID here all day Tuesday over the ae-
ion OF the jury in the insanity in
Iuisition and a wave of public ap-
oroval was voiced when it became
Known that he was again under the
custody of Sheriff Stevens.
