APPEAR AS CLOSING NUMBER
THIS SEASON

The final number of this seasons
lyceum course-The Chicago Ladies
.Sextett-will appear at the Eagle
Theatre Monday evening, March 18th
at 800 p. m.
Instrumental music has as definite
a mission as it had ten years ago.
The lure of tom tom jazz has side.
tracked it to some extent, but occa-
sionally the outstanding concert group
makes it's music so interesting and
appealing that the average listener
joins the cultured musician in whole
hearted enjoyment of worth while mel
ody.
Such is the definite work and field
of the Chicago Ladies Sextett. A
repertoire consisting of the more tune
full of the classics is balanced by the
modern selections, the songs and in
strumental compositionst that more
truly represent the great American
people. And because the music is the
kind that really appeals to you and
to me. it is the kind of music that
lives The Chicago Ladies Sextet give
a high class program, yet one that is
ueplete with entertaining qualities.

working in the powder drying house
when the explosion occurred, without
warning, and Murray was badly burn
ed about the abdomen and head, all
hair being burned from his head.
Malysceski was less seriously injured
and is improving. Both boys have

ceived this week from Portland, Ore

the death on February 23rd, of Mrs.
Cecil Frank Slattery and baby boy
born short time previous. The child
lived about one hour and the mother

Chest Clinics Beneficial
In Discovering Ailments
APPROXIMATELY 1000 EXAMS
MADE IN STATE THROUGH
CHRISTMAS SEAL FUNDS

Manned by a staff of three full
time physicians and one part time
doctor, the free chest clinic team of
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION conducted 300 clinics during
1924 and made nearly $4,000 examina-
tions. This is shown by the clinic re-
cords of the Association, the figures
for which have just been made pub
lie. These figures do not include the
$500 boys and girls examined at a
clinic held at the Vocational School in
Milwaukee during the entire School
year, 1924.
This means that approximately H.
900 persons were examined at the
clinics, for allowance must be made
for "repeaters' that is persons who
attended the clinics twice or Oftener
during the year. While the 1924 re-
peaters have not been sorted out from
the records as yet, fairly accurate
estimate can be made from the 1923
figures.
Fourteen and six tenths Of thNBe
examined at the clinics were classi-
fled as tuberculous and this classifi-
cation is subsidized into active, quies-
cent and suspicious" cases, cases of
healed LESSONS and cases of tubercul-
osis other than pulmonary Twenty,
Of al cd
tuberculous were active cases; per
cent quiescent cases; rs per cent
suspicious" cases, that is cases in
which all the findings indicated tuber
culosis but in which no definite dag
nosis could be made upon one exami-
nation; 10 per cent tuberculosis other
than pulmonary including bone
and joint infection and infection in
organs other than the lungs; and 80
per cent cases of healed tuberculous
LESSONS.
More than half of the people exam
ined at the clinics were found to
have simple goitres, and 81 per cent
OF these were found in children. De-
cayed and neglected teeth and diseas-
ed tonsils were found in nearly one
third of those examined, the latter
being especially important because it
is now known that infected tonsils
are frequently the cause of pyorrhea,
$50 cases of organic heart disease and
81 cases of toxic goitre. Twenty-Five
per cent of the children examined
were found to be more than 10 per
cent underweight, and A per cent
OF all examined were found to be un-
protected against small pox. They had
either not been vacGinated at all or
the vaccination had not been satisfac-
tory.
Z The free chest clinic work of the
Association, like all its other work,
is financed by funds raised through
the sale of penny Christmas Seals.

Eagle High Trimmed
CrandOn at Own Game
"1NDoOR FOOTBALL" WOULD BE
BETTER TERM FOR BRANDON
MELEE LAST FRIDAY

The Eagle River High School Bias
ket Ball boys administered an unex-
pected trimming to the strong Gran
don High School, team last Friday
evening. The Eagle River boys ex-
pected the game to be rough partly
because of the size of the Crandon
floor and partly because they knew
that Crandon is used to that style of
game However, they did not expect
the game to be quite as bad as it
turned out to be. Briefly, it was one
of the best exhibits of indoor foot
ball ever staged, with Eagle River
EealIng Crandon at their own game
Shortly after the game started Ison
the star Crandon center put in two
baskets and chances looked pretty
slim for Eagle River. In fact, it APP
peared as tho Eagle could not possih-
~ make a basket, but Fearey our ole
'warship" put in a lucky one the
length of the floor ever the top of
five iron bars running crossways of
the hall. The referee called foul on
Eagle River almost immediately after
this and Crandon sank another point
so the score at the end of the first
half was 5 to in favor of Craudon
GloydS the Eagle River "Tarzan"
was substituted for Bent who was
hurt after putting UP splendid fight
From the beginning of the second
half the four Eagle River Dread
noughts" Fearey, Rogers Felt and
Gloyd went into action with Mcintyre
battering the daylights out of his
opponent every chance he got and as
whole putting up an exhibition of
Football which even Crandon could
not surpass. Thru out it all the ref
cree called three fouls.
Eagle River sank several more bas-
kets one by Mcintyre, one by Gloyd,
one by Rogers and the rest by Fearey
Crandon followed suit so that at a
minute before the close the score was
II and II in favor of Eagle. OF course
this gave Eagle chance to
stall for time. Fearey and Rogers are
sure post masters at that game. Fear
ey took the ball under one arm and
ran toward the goal. !. The Referee
called technical foul on Fearey,
but thasW. the bali UP at center Rog-
ersT mt 1e out of the referees hand at
center and jumped too early the Sec
ond time so that before they got thru
jumping the game was over with
Eagle winning II to H.
Quite a number of Eagle fans we're
present Most of them are still
''hoarse" and they firmly maintain
that their yelling" won the game
Among the rooters from Eagle were
Fred Strong, G H. Wiegand and e. WI
Kracht who went over by snowmo-
bolile. Howard Olmstead and Jim
White stopped in on their way home
from Amigo and Walter Bent, Ronald
Bent and Horace Knowles came over
from camp at Rhinelander. Some
Rooters! No wonder we won!

1t is suggested that part of the non
sense connected with the new arms
conference will be talk about reduc-
ing or forbidding the use of aircraft
in war. You might as well talk about
eliminating railroad trains or gun
powder from war. The first thing for
the United States to do lis to build
ND an aircraft force superior to that
of any nation on earth. The best time
to talk to a burglar about not using
firearms is when you have your own
gun pointed at his chest.

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

G. L. Carter arranged and executed a
surprise party on her at the home

day. The evening was spent in play
ing Bunco followed by refreshments
after which the party came to close
with all wishing Mrs. Carter many
happy returns of the day.

The President is in favor of STOP
ping all national inheritance taxes,
He calls them socialism, although
it is not clear why taxing fortune
of hundred millions that rich man
leaves behind him is any more social
istic than to tax a small cottage in
which poor man is raising his fam,
lily.
However, it certainly seems better
to tax a rich man while he is alive
than to- tax his children.
Leaving big fortunes to children
may be foolish, but the desire to do
so makes men work, when they would
otherwise stop working. And what the
country wants is the most work from
the abIest men.

One important proof of booming

The lengthening of the tourist bust
ness season is a matter which should
be of great Importance to all in our
Northern Woods and Lakes country,
especially to those who directly or
indirectly obtain the greatest share of
their income during the summer
months One of the biggest factors in
our Seasons business is an early start
This early start can be greatly helped
by advancing the opening of the
Muskellunge, Pike and Pickerel fish
stead of June /.
The advance would have no mater
ial effect ON Conservation measures
because any observer will know that
as a general rule these fish have fin
ished spawning by May Goth to May
25th. Off seasons are very rare.
1t would, however, bring several
thousand more people to our North
ern country and with holiday period
in. that week, it will be an added in
centive for the busy city man to get
away for crack at the early Sum-
mer fishing without loss of much
time at his business, which he cannot
get with the present opening date.
Take the Summer resort as an ex-
ample Our registrations show that
we had double the, number of people
at our resort during the first business
week when the season opened on May

first week with June LIST as the open

SURE SIGN OF SPRING

The first authentic indication that
spring is rapidly on the way is in
the reports by several people this
morning, March 18th, of seeing the
earliest arrivals of the spring birds,

the Radcliffe premises and his evil

Koerner Suggests Earlier Fishing

ing date of the fishing season. | feel
safe in using this as an example, of
what the majority of resorts expert
ence. If the average registration for
the first week of the season in the
$50 or more resorts of Northern Wis
consin would run 40 guests instead
of 20, (some will go oyen some lit
tie under) and the average, amount
spent by a fisherman tourist is $1,000
per day (most go over that then we
could figure the increased amount of
money spent here in the first week
as follows:
Twenty more guests each day,
times days in the first week would
equal 140 more people served in that
week. At $1O.00Aper day spent by each
would be $14OOl additional income at
each average resort; in the $50 re,
sorts there would be $35O,OOO more
left here in the first week than in
other seasons.
The meaning of this does not need
explanation to the Summer Resort
owners guides, meat and grocery men
hardware dealers, clothiers, garage
owners, bankers and the countless
others, whose business, all or in part
is derived through the tourists. Is it
not worth going after?
Let's get it! The conservation bills
will soon be coming up so we must
not delay, but write at once to Mr.
Steve Gwidt, Vice Chairman of the
Conservation Committee, State Legis-
lature, Madison Wis, telling him of
the great Importance bill to advance
the Muskellunge, Pike and Pickerel
season to us, and ask him to intro
duce such a measure Then get after
your Assemblyman and Senator to
support it.
