Story With a Moral.

A mld-western newspaper chron-
icles the retirement of veteran
harness maker in a thriving town
in a certain state. Another vic
tim of the automobile" is the nat
ural inference, but in this case it
shoots wide of the mark. This par
ticular harness maker, according
to the story, turned the motor in
vasion to his own profit.
In the old days every town had
it's own harness maker, but as the
towns and farming districts were
motorized" the harness makers
began to drop out or to let their
stocks run down. Noting this, this
shrewd veteran business man kept
his stock coinplete-and advertised
it's completeness so widely that
business flowed in upon him from
points far beyond his former trade
territory.
Farmers hundred miles away
fivvered to his shop door. He re-
tires because he has made his pile
and is growing old, but he has sold
his harness business, this paper
states, as a going concern" and at
very satisfactory price.

Schaefers in Egypt.

Whe t er Mr.. and Mrs. P. j.
Schaefer are hunting up old tombs,
older than King Tut; or whether
they are just touring is not known
here at this time, but a card from
them both last week tells that they
are having a fine time at Cairo,
Egypt and on the return end of
their winters overseas trip. They
left their Chicago home some time
late in the fall and have visited
most of the scenic and historical
places in that part of the Old
World. They will hit Eagle River,
without a doubt, within the next
month for they have the North
Woods spring fever.

Getting Ready for the North.

Word from the Tildens and Par
fits who are spending the winter
in Florida, gives the news that
they will start home the latter part
of the month, driving up if it is
possible at that time. 1t has been
reported the Tilden family have
had much sickness at their winter
home at Lake Worth, Florida. Lit
tie Miss Florence Tilden is said to
have had pneumonia but is almost
we'll. The Parftts are located at
Perdido Beach, Alabama, right on
the Florida line.

OLD TIMERS SAY EARLY
Base an Early Spring Upon
Weather Conditions Which
They Claim Never Fail.

When you find. the wind in a
certain direction, like it has been
hanging for several days, and
especially on St. Patrick's Day."
said an old-timer yesterday, you
will always see an early spring. Ice
will go out possibly this month; if
not next month sure"
There you skeptical guys have it.
How true the 0. T. and his prog
nostications are, will be learned as
the days progress toward spring.
No one knows except the one who
has the weather under control,
notwithstanding all your goose
bone and heavy fur assertions.
Of course while we in this Sec
ton failed to get any of the storm
which put the southern part of
the state out of comm ssion the
latter part of last week, we are
hoping that balmy weather will
come and pass out Old Man Win
ter and his satellites.
Sleighing is gone and if the pres
ent weather holds all the drifts will
thaw out and release highways
from winters clutch and permit of
traffic all over the county. The past
week or so of ice and some little
snow made for perfect sleighing
and most of the wood material to
the mills and banking yards
reached it's destination just in
time before the thaw struck.
Travel all over the state is said
to be good right now. On the
Rhinelander highways where the
snowplow worked all winter, the
roadbed is drying out fast and
travellers hope to experience very
little trouble in negotiating the
highways on account of frost
heaving and mudholes.

Another Special Edition

This time the Villas County
News will pull something
different" in Special Editions
something not yet carried
out in the state, so far as we
can learn.
Sometime in May special
issue of the Villas County
News, called WAR History
Edition." will be gotten up by
the Frederic ]. Walsh Post
American Legion and mailed
out from this office. That
week the News will be turned
over to the Legion, whose
members are now working on
a series of historical and spec
ial articles bearing on the
Villas county boys who were
in service during the Worlds
War. That it will be hum
mer," there is absolutely no
question about it. And that
amt maybe.
It's going to be good, fell
lows, and you can bet your
last simoleon on it. It's go
inng to be a big surprise to
the reading public, and will
not be exactly a cold histor-
ical edition, but will carry
multitude Of side-lights on
the b oys who did their
darndest and got away with
it over Heinie in the trenches,
on the ground, in the air and
under the water.
If any of the readers have
any data they can furnish the
Legion boys for this issue,
shoot it along to the Villas
County News. 1t will be ap-
preciated. This issue is to be
yours and will be long kept
as a valuable souvenir.

Correction of Error.

The mileage and per diem
account of Peter Anderson, chair
man of the town of Plum Lake, as
published in the News a week ago,
should have read S34.60 instead of
$43.60. In compiling the copy for
the newspapers, the county clerk
accidentally transposed the first
two figures, giving Mr.. Anderson as
having received more than his bill
called for. His bill should have read
$34.60.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.


The Eagle River boys put up
some good fights over at the Rhine
lander tournament last week, but
they failed to get a place. The
first game they played was with
Tomahawk, one of the best teams
on the floor.
The roofing crowd from Eagle
River attended the tournament
also, and gave some wonderful ex-
hibitions of cheering.
Wednesday morning the team
left for Laona to attend the tour
nament there. They certainly
ought to get first place there, and
we expect that they will.
The literary program was held
Tuesday instead of Wednesday.
