Discontinued for the Winter.

The regular monthly health cen
ter days of the Villas County Moth
.er and Baby Health Center have
been postponed until good weather
will allow the physician and nurse
to reach Eagle River by car. Last
month it was hoped to reach Eagle
River, but when the center staff
reached Rhinelander word was re-
ceived from the Villas county nurse
that the road to Eagle River was
not open and the center could not
be held. There will probably be
only two months, February and
March, when the drive cannot be
made
The health center staff will be
very glad to assist mothers in the
supervision of childrens feelings,
etc., if parents will write to- the
health center nurse, Miss McCar-
thy, at Box TAI, Rhinelander. Such
letters should give if possible, the
age and weight of the child, and
all questions asked will be answer
ed by the center physician when
she comes to this district for the
health center work. Miss McCar-
thy will be glad to make home
calls upon request. Such requests
should be mailed to her at Rhine
lander. The Bureau of Child Ser
vice, State Board of Health, Madi-
son, Wis, will mail instructions
each month for care during preg-.
nancy and on care of the baby to
every prospective mother who will
send name and address to that
office.

EFFORTS WERE FUTILE
Clouds Concealed Eclipse and
No Record Obtainedof Phe.
nomenon in Eagle River.

Eagle River was directly in line
for the sun eclipse last Saturday
morning, but it was hidden from
the eager glimpse Of thousands of
people by a leaden overcast sky.
Waiting for weeks in preparation
for this extraordinary phenomenon
which will not be again repeated
for over four centuries, the disap-
pointment was not alone given to
us but to every section in this part
of Northern Wisconsin.
Weird shadow bands raced across
the earth and an almost complete
darkness fell during the short time
the eclipse was total. The down
train, due at Land o. Lakes at 1853,
the period of total darkness, was
compelled to turn on it's headlight
and the coaches were lighted as in
the nighttime. Brakemen could
be seen signalling with their Ian
terms, and some few who knew
nothing Of an eclipse, were in a
state bordering on collapse. One
fellow the worse for moonshine,
imagined he had lost his sight
when the sun was completely COW
cred, and his actions were indeed
pitiful. Chickens went to roost
and most all farm stock appeared
to be doubtful as to just what was
happening.
The moons shadows raced over
stretch of from IS to 120 miles
wide at the moment when the
eclipse became total. The date of
the next moon-sun eclipse will be
somewhere about $3.50, about 425
years hence.

Trembath on Committee.

R. c. Trembath, assemblyman
from this district, was appointed
a member of the judiciary COM
mittee when the legislature met
last week and settled the appoint
ments. Assemblyman Gwidt of
Oneida and Forest counties was
placed on the fish and game COM
mittee. The latter committee will
have it's hands full taking care of
the changes in the fish and game
laws if one believes all the pro-
posed changes are placed direct
before the committee and the leg
islature as a whole. Northern Wis
consin assemblymen and senators
have promised their whole atten-
ton to laws of this character
when they come before the two
houses. A few more slips like the
last legislature made, and there
will be no more fish and game to
protect in the northern part of the
state where fish. and game are the
assets.

After New Members.

G. A. Griswold of Three Lakes
representing the Wisconsin Land
o Lakes Association, spent Friday
and Saturday of last week in the
city in the interests Of the 1925
campaign for the organization. 1t
is very apparent that merchants
here on the whole are alive to the
good work which the association
has been doing the past year to
get people from the central west
to spend their vacations in Wis
consin for their liberal subscrip-
tions to the work were larger than
in any other year. While last year
was not a good tourist year be-
cause of the cold and rainy wealth
ef, there should be just that more
business this year and if the Land
O Lakes advertising will not turn
the trick then Wisconsin has moth
ing to offer the vacationist.-Tom-
ahawk Leader.

PINCHED IN ZION CITY
Henry Hanson Receivers Stol-
en- Car and Cop Nails Him
for Home Run.

Henry Hanson, whose car was
stolen from the main street of
Eagle River on August 10th of
last year, finally recovered it last
week at Waukegan, ILL.,, where it
had been placed in storage by the
auto bandits. He brought it home
Saturday night, driving from Wau-
kegan on good roads until he
struck Villas county where the
snow was drifted.
The car, a Ford sedan, had been
stored in Waukegan garage
thirty days ago; was in good shape
except that it was minus bumpers,
snubbers and balloon tires. An
Illinois license plate was attached
to the car but Identification was
easily made when the number of
the engine was shown.
Besides recovering the car after
much expense, Hanks trouble did
not stop, but rather it started
when be began his trip home. The
Illinois license was taken off and
he started tooling his property by
way of Zion City. Speed cop nailed
him for driving a car without a
license and that cost him SIS, even
though he had the sanction of the
sheriff of the county to transport
his car home. After he paid his
fine under protest, Hanson started
to light a cigarette. He wa
called by the Zionites because it
was another violation. Luckily he
left before any more infringe
ments could be brought against
him and when Wisconsin was
reached he breathed easier. Zion
City, according to Hanson, can ex-
ist if it wants to, but he is done
with that city forever more.

MINOCQUA'S BAD FIRE
Thousands of Dollars in
Property and Goods Des-
troyed in Early Morning
Blaze.

Fire of unknown origin ruined
the Jouno building in Minocqua,
causing a loss of several thousand
dollars, partly covered by insur-
ance. The lower rooms of the build
ing were occupied by the John A..
Bosacki cigar factory while the up
per rooms were occupied by Louis
LaBreche as a residence.
The fire alarm was turned in
shortly before two o'clock Monday
morning and the fire made much
Roadway before the fire depart
ment got into operation and it
threatened several times to spread
to the adjoining residence property
owned by Mrs. Jouno also. Luckily
there was little wind on the morn
ing of the fire, and after a long
fight it was brought under control.
The stock of tobacco and cigars
in the Bosacki cigar factory was
badly damaged by the fire. The
loss is fully covered by insurance,
however, the proprietor carrying
$4,000 fire insurance. Mrs. Jouno,
owner of the building, lost most
through the fire. She carried
$4,000 of fire insurance on the
building.
The furniture owned by Louis
LaBreche, covered by 100000 of
fire insurance, was badly damaged
by water. Mr.. LaBreche was in
Manitowoc at the time of the fire
spending a week with his brother
following the death of Mrs. La
Breche.-New North.

MERCURY TOOK A FALL
twenty-five Below Official
Registration Yesterday
Morning in Eagle River.

Yesterdays registration showed
% below zero at an early hour and
at noon had dropped to below.
Bringing this on top of balmy
summer sunshine of the past week
or so, it put stop for few hours
to outside work. Several faces and
ears were nipped by early morn
ing workers who failed to realize
that sub-zero weather demanded
more than palm beach suit in
Northern Wisconsin.
At eight o'clock Monday evening
the cold wave had started and at
time registered around A below,
getting colder at every period of
the clock during the night. Many
homes were caught with frozen
water pipes as a result of pleasant
weather during the week past. The
sewer on Division street west of
the railroad track is frozen as a
result of the warm days driving
the frost downward.
There has been no recording fall
Of snow for several weeks although
this section now has about a foot
of snow on the level. High winds
the past week have drifted the
roads, making it impossible to
travel by car over any of them ex-
cept highway 63 to the Oneida
county line. The Oneida portion of
90 is kept open by the big snow
pillow in operation in that county.
Outside of this highway everything
north Of Three Lakes is blocked.
However the people of that village
are operating their cars east on
81, south on 26 and west on county
trunk A and 63 to Rhinelander.

Tax Cigarettes.

If you smoke cigarettes you may
have to pay a trife more for the
privilege, that is, if the state of
Wisconsin puts tax on the rolled
papers. Information from Madi-
son st ates that Assemblyman
Walsh Of Oconto has prepared a
bill for introduction in the legis-
lature asking that a state tax of
from one to two cents per package
be levied upon all brands of Gig
arettes.
AS there are between 100000
and 100,000,000 cigarettes con-
sumed in Wisconsin every year, it
is estimated that the revenue from
the Walsh bill would be from $780,
600 to 100000 annually. Proceeds
from the tax would go to localities
to aid in fighting fires caused by
discarded cigarette butts, under
the Walsh measure. Utah, South
Dakota and South Carolina have
similar legislation.

HOTEL CLERK KNITTED
Woodruff Man is Charged
with Assaulting Wisconsin
House Employee Last
Thursday.

On plea of not guilty to two
charges of assault, Elmer Fred
erickson of Woodruff was bound
over for trial until January % in
the forenoon and bail was fixed at
$500.
Frederickson was arrested late
last Thursday at Woodruff by
Sheriff Hans Rodd of Rhinelander,
on complaint of Thomas White,
night clerk at the Wisconsin House
at Woodruff.
1t is alleged by White that on
Tuesday night Frederickson en-
tered the Wisconsin House at an
early hour and attempted to create
a disturbance, using vile language
in the presence of women, and
threatening White. He was ordered
from the building and after some
persuasion left the place.
White was preparing to lock up
for the night at about 1920 when
he heard a knock at the side door.
Thinking it to be one of the LODI
gers he went to the door and
opened it. When he did so, Fred
erickson forced himself into the
hallway and attacked White with
a knife, cutting him severely three
times across the face and twice
across the breast. White managed
to free himself and gave Frederick
son a kick out of the place, and
Immediately locked the door.
Sheriff Rodd was notified of the
affair and fastened to the village,
where he made the arrest.
The accused man was arraigned
Friday before Court Commissioner
Morris McRae in the absence from
the city of Municipal Judge Reevs,
on two charges, assault with in
tent to commit murder while
armed with a dangerous weapon,
and assault with intent to- MAIN
and disfgure while armed with a
dangerous weapon. He plead not
guilty to the charges and trial was
set for the 28th. Upon failure to
procure bail he was remanded to
the custody of the sheriff.
White will recover, according to
reports,-Rhinelander Daily News.

Why Editors Grow Grey.

Dear Editor:
Last week your paper contained
the information that a baby boy
was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Ray
Schmitz at Utica, on Saturday.
Your informant was correct in
every detail except that it was a
girl, and not boy; she was born
on Sunday instead of Saturday; the
proud parents are Mr.. and Mrs.
Rob Schwartz, instead of Scmitz,
and they make their home at
Union, instead of Utica. Otherwise
the item is alright, and contains
much valuable information.
Yours truly, etc.

WOULD WE ?

If we could only double back;
And walk again DER life's long trail,
wonder would we change the track
At places where we used to fail?
Or would the things which lured us then
Still lead us on to sin and pain?
If so, would not go again,
For all my hopes would be in vain
So | must be content to stay
And trudge along, as best | can,
Avoiding dangers on the way,
Which still beset the paths of man.
