Will Attend Meeting.

A number of Villas county men
are at Rhinelander this afternoon
attending a meeting Of men and
women from almost every county
in the north half of the state. This
meeting has been called for the
purpose of goin g after Governor
Blaine and any party connected
with the refusal of the state in
creating a fund for fire protection
of the forests of northern Wiscon-
sin. The past two weeks has seen
the fire menace in magnitude in
the upper portion Of the state and
thousands of dollars in property
and woods gone up in smoke. There
is quite a bit of censure being
handed out toward the governor in
not protecting the states interests
in timber. Of course this also
covers that property owned by the
resorts and other people who want
to keep their property away from
the clutches of the fire hazard. If
Blaine can't square himself for
vetoing, then the people up here
want to know why and how.

A PIPE ORGAN RECITAL
Very Interesting Program is
Given With New Instru-
ment Saturday Evening.

The power and beauty of har-
mony was both taught and exem-
plified at the First Congregational
church during the last weekend
when the new pipe organ was dem
onstrated at a Saturday night re-
cital, and dedicated with appropri-
ate ceremonies at a Sunday morn
ing service.
The organ was presided over by
r. M. Rogers, of Wisconsin Rapids,
who played with a mastery at once
and an appreciation that made the
work Of the composers truly live
again. The fine tonal quality of
the instrument was manifest, and
indicated that the community has
real treasure in this addition to
it's facilities for worship and for
musical education.
Mr.. Rogers was ably assisted bv
the baritone soloist, James Jenkins,
who captivated all by a pleasing
personality and voice, and by the
fine artistry with which he rendered
varied repertoire of songs.
The sermon on Sunday morning
was delivered by Rev. 7. R. Faville
D. d., Of Madison, who gave a
chaste and eloquent exposition Of
the spiritual ministry of music and
its influential part in all the great
spiritual awakenings and under
takings of the Christian church.
The people, led by the Pastor, Rev.
Lewis H. Skidmore, united in a
beautiful unison Act Of Dedica-
ton" which was followed by the
pastors dedicatory prayer, a pas
sionate plea for the unity and har-
mony Of the Church of Christ and
for the putting aside of jealousies
and chickering's and strife. The
music for the occasion was pro-
vided by Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Jen-
kins, with a notable offering by
Mr. Olof Valley, basso. The church
was tastefully decorated with a
bower Of woodland branches in full
bloom.

FORM MEMS CIVIC CLUB
Saturday Evenings Meeting
Resulted in Formation of
Booster Body.

At 6:15 o'clock Saturday evening
last, a group of Eagle Rivers bust
ness men gathered in the dining
room of the Congregational church
to take supper and perfect the or
ganization of mems forum club
to be known as "The Mems Civic
Club of the First Congregational
Church of Eagle River A consti-
tuition was submitted by the com
mittee: Ben Strong, Niles Coleman
and Frank Carter, which with
some changes was adopted unani-
mously. Chas. Wiegand was chosen
president of the club; Amos Rad
cliffe, vice-preident; Ben Strong,
secretary and Verne Richards,
treasurer.
A membership committee, con-
sisting Of Rev. L. H. Skidmore,
Chas. Johnston and Howard Ohm
stead was appointed by Pres. Vie
gand to secure new members; and
it was voted to hold the charter
membership open at least until the
next meeting. The club is to meet
on the first Tuesday of each month,
and, through the summer, it was
suggested that it be a MONDAY
meeting with luncheon, to which
men might come from their work
without the necessity of changing
their clothes, and from which they
might be excused at any time the
necessities of their work required.
The next meeting Of the Club
will be held at noon Tuesday. June
End. 1t is expected that the club
will have as it's guest Rev. w. A.
Rowell, pastor of the Congrega-
tional church at Hinsdale, Illinois.
The Hinsdale church has a tremen-
dous plant for community service,
and it is expected that Mr.. Rowell
will give some interesting practi-
cal suggestions to the local club
for its civic and community work.

ing the Frankenthal home across
the lake from Long Lake lodge,
and from reports really made a
record in hard work and in the use
of a shovel. DR.. Harry T. Jack also
learned the ''know-how" of north
ern fire fighting. Both gentlemen
returned to Chicago Monday morn
ing having finished a pre-vacation
period at their summer homes.

HAPPENED JONES
Class Play Last Friday Even
ing in Local High Carried
Away Honors.

What Happened to Jones" the
class play presented by members
of the local high school last Friday
night, certainly won honors for the
actors of the characters in the play.
To we'll filled house each member
of the cast showed thought and
time, which had been given the
play, to have been FURNISHED to the
highest degree of efficiency, and
the applause melted out to the
players was deserving.
Sunday the baccalaureate ser
mon preached at the Congrega-
tional church instead of the high
school auditorium as announced
previously, was delivered by a
speaker from Appleton. Last even
ing the class day program was car
ried out in the auditorium and this
will follow with commencement
tomorrow evening.
Twenty-Five young men and
young women will have finished
their years of work in the schools
and be fitted to enter the business
world or take up college work for
a better fitting for the labors hey
will follow. The work this past
year in the schools show an inclina-
ton of the pupils to have been to
reach as far ahead as the capable
instructors could lead them, and
the corps of teachers in the Eagle
River schools have the appreciation
of every pupil and patron for what
they have accomplished in young
life building and shaping.
Most of the country schools are
finishing their terms and the teach
ers and youngsters will follow a re-

proposition in Wisconsin, which,
as VIC all know now, is proving
detrimental to the states assets

both by people of this section Is
gratifying and will mean their adj
