out OF every ten present at the
meeting are young men. The local
camp at Eagle River can boast If
greater percentage of young men
N It's membership than anv other
M. w. A. camp.
1t is primarily due to these vopn .
men that the camp is SO active and
successful In membership attend
ance. We are informed bv ;ts
members who have visited other
camps that the local organization
puts on real honest to goodness
imitation. During the last wear #
has been invited to initiate a class
at Rhinelander and also at Win
chester. The camp attended such
work elsewhere in large numbers
and performed the work very cred
ltaoly, as the statements Of the
members of the other camps give
testimony to. It is said the other
camps remember the visit of the
Eagle River team for quite some
time.

The local camp has just enough
events to hold interest. Among
such events are the Memorial Ser
vices, the initiation of classes at
other camps, the annual smoker
and stag party, the annual joint in
stallation of officers with the Royal
Neighbors with its social entertain
ment, benefit movie, etc.
Officers were just elected for the
ensuing year, namely:
Consul, Frank w. Carter.
Advisor, Edward Croker.
Banker, Mike Morrison.
Clerk, Francis Johnson.
Escort, Richard White.
Waterman, Albert Budde.
Sentry, Ray Troyer.
Manager, Anton Poisman.
The camp has chosen a team of
Forresters of eight young husky
fellows, with August Krieck as the
chief forester. Suits have been
purchased for the entire team and
the camp expects to be able to
boast of a good and efficient drill
team soon.
This camp, together with its sis
ter camp, the Royal Neighbors,
own their own hall and meeting
place.

Deer Damages Auto in Col.
lision-Who Paws Bill?

State Conservation Commissioner
Elmer S. Hall is wondering if it
wouldn't be a good idea to equip
the wild deer in his charge with
sign is and headlights so that Il:
offensive autoists at least have a
chance to duck, says a dispatch
from Madison.
Carl Theiler, of Harrison, Wis,
guided his faithful fiivver along a
dark roadway and collided with a
deer coming toward him. 1t cost
Theiler $18 to repair the car and
the deer was dead. A game warden
took the carcass and sold it for $22,
Theiler said, and the money went
to the conservation commission.
The law provides that the $22 be-
longs to the state. Theiler has
filed dissenting opinion with the
state conservation commission de.
clarlng that he should be given
part of the proceeds of the sale Of
the carcass to compensate him for
damages because the accident was
due to the deer's violation of traffic
rules. He has been informed that
there is no legal provision for his
compensation.
Theiler has one chance to collect
that is to wait until the legisla-
ture meets next year and then have
bill passed awarding him dam
ages.

By Frank w. Carter

The local camp of Modern Wood
men of America has just passed
through one of the most successful
years of its whole existence. It can

If one should attend a meeting

Joys of Winter

The ground is white with many lit
tie flakes
That fall from fields Elysian,
And bring with them the winter
sports
Which we perform on all the
many lakes.
There's skating, skiing, slelghing
and the like,
Of which we never tire;
A toboggan, too, we ofttimes hire,
And we do one and all enjoy a
hike.
Oh! So let us then be jolly;
Oh! So let us then be free;
OH So let us then be merry,
For all sadness is but folly,
And all sorrow-it must flee,
Therefore let all gladness tarry.

Instructions for
Preparing Maine
Land for Culture
Of Strawberries

1--WE have had so many inquiries
how to prepare the land for growing
strawberries that we feel that it will
be well to give this information
through the press" asserted State
Horticulturalist G. A. Yeaton Of the
state department Of agriculture. Sat-
lrday morning
1.-The soil that Is best adapted to
growing this fruit is a medium loan
that holds the moisture we'll and Is
rich in organic matter. This Is sup
piled by an application of stable
manure at the rate Of ten loads per
acre, spread broadcast and plo.ghed
under about five inches deep. This
should be well narrowed until about
the goth of June and tncn sowed to
Japanese millett.
"As soon as the millett reaches the
blossoming stage, break II down with
a hand roller, being careful to roll it
the way the land is ploughed. AL
low the millett to lie there until the
heads begin to turn up-which will
be in about ten days-and then
plough 1t under about two inches
deeper than the former ploughing.
Follow this with disking. once every
two weeks until cold weather.
This will not only kill all the
witch grass roots, but will also take
care of most of the weed seeds. BY
following these methods. the field Is
put into the best possible condition
and the increase yield will pay many
times over the additional cost. not
only In quantity but in quality as
we'll"

Shin mo somewheres east of Suez where the like the
worst,
Where there aren't no Ten Commandments an man cax
raise thirst

! For the first time in her career as
an actress, Pola Negri appears in a
role which takes her East Of Suez."
Although the star has played char
acters of practically every country
in the Occident. from the Argentine
to Russia. her latest starring picture
for Paramount. a Raoul Walsh pro-
duction. is the first to carry her be-
yond the rising sun into the mys-
terious regions of the East.
The story adapted by Sada Cowan
from the play by Somerset Maugh-
am. is a powerful tale of what hap
pens when East meets West-an en-
thralling love drama--a riot of gorg-
eous gowns and magnificent settings.
Pola's role is one which will get
the sympathy Of the audience from
tho start. A lonely, girl Stunned by
those who formerly had been eager
for her society because they believe
her to be half Chinese.
East of Suez" is a gripping mys-
terv-drama Of China in which the
fate of a girl is decided between
three white men. a sinister Chinese
nobleman and an old Chinese woman
in whose brain lies the key to the
mystery.
and there's happy ending!
The whole production is filmed on
a'scale Of richness all the more
striking because it deals with a
strange race-the gorgeousness of
the Chinese is the keynote of the
whole story. Silks. hangings, cary
ings and all the rest are reproduced
with an elaborateness which makes
East of Suez" one of the years
most striking pictures.
