The death of Mrs. Charles Deer

OTTER ENTERTAINS EN-
McGibneys on the Wisconse
Have Stunts Daily by MIR.
and Mrs. Otter.

To be entertained by radio dur
ing the evening hours Of winter in
your comfortable little bungalow
on the Wisconsin river at the out
skirts of the village; then during
the early morning step outside and
watch pair of otter go through
their early morning calisthentics
on the rivers ice a couple hundred
feet from your door-that is what
we call living" This is the daily
program of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w.
McGibney, all-year residents of
this peaceful and entertaining
country Of ours.
The McGibneys have a comfort
able and coy little bungalow on
the banks of the Wisconsin river
almost mile from the village of
Eagle River west on highway 20.
Not long since during one early
morning period they noticed pair
of otter out on the ice a couple
hundred feet from the bungalow.
Watching them, they discovered
they were fishing for their break
fast and in this they have learned
much of the habits of the wild.
Near the center of the river and
between the cribs of the old dam,
there is an airhole. Perched upon
the edge, one of the otter will
watch while the other slips quietly
into the water, appearing a little
later with fish; then the mate
will disappear and the one just ar
rived will eat and watch. When
the other hobs out Of the water on
the ice, the one eating slips in and
nails another fish. This is kept up
for length of time sufficient for
the satisfaction of their appetites,
then they play around for some
minutes and disappear the remain
der of the day.
With the radio the McGibneys
have to entertain themselves dur
the long winter evenings, and a
moving picture of wild life in the
early morning to start the day
activities, life for Mr.. and Mrs.
Mac is one period of home comfort
and nature study. They are now
guessing just how long the otter
will keep up their activities, or
just how long it will be before
some pelt hound will set a trap
and clean up on the actors.

Eight Below Monday.

A slight drop in temperature
caused mercury to go below zero
about eight points Monday during
the early morning hours. A bril-
liant sun soon warmed the atmos-
phere and grounding day was a
warm, beautiful one at that. An
inch Of very fluffy snow fell Sun
day but added nothing toward
what we already have, being too
light to notice. Yesterday, to
break the monotony Of snow and
cold, sleety- rain fell during the
afternoon.

PLOW OUT HIGHWAYS
Snowplow and lotion Trac-
tor Dismantling Drifts on
Trunk Highways.

With highway SO clear of snow
drifts since last Wednesday travel
by cars to Rhinelander is very
easy except for bad drift in Onei-
ola county near Jenny Weber lake.
The highway otherwise is good.
Monday morning highway 26
from Eagle River to Clearwater
Lake in Oneida county, was freed
of its drifts. Now travel is easy
by car to Three Lakes and other
down state points.
Yesterday start was made by
the snowplow crew to plow out
highway 26 north to county
trunk P to Phelps. Today the
highway will be cleaned to Phelps
and then it is stated that Conover
and State Line on highway 26 will
be finished and opened to travel.
Highway 20 was plowed out the
latter part of last week as far as
Hessen's garage near Big st. Ger
main lake.
All of this cleaning of the high
ways was made possible by a fund
raised by business men of Eagle
River and other districts who
want to use their cars the balance
OF the winter. One may now
travel as far as he wishes for all
of the southern highways are kept
open from the Villas county line
down.

Visiting Grand Children.

M. Frankel left Eagle River last
week for Rhinelander Milwaukee
and New York. This visit was
made possible by the arrival in the
homes of two of his daughters,
Susie and Freda and his son Joe
of a babe in each household within
the past two weeks. His first visit
was at Rhinelander, then Milwau-
kee, and on to New York. He will

Community Poison

Malicious gossip is of the most dangerous
phases in life and let once secure start in any village
or community it does untold damage. The following
editorial taken from recent issue of the South Bend
(lndlana) News-Tmes is just about the best we have
ever read. 1t has logic and real and shows the
results of GOSSIP in it's worst form:
For some unexplained reason, wave of gossip

SLOWING DOWN

XKTHEN we of normal health and
w strength begin to proceed more
slowly than is our wont, put off at
tending to our customary duties and
neglect to fill each day with full
days work, the inference Is that we
are taking a step on the downward
path.
Pleasant as these steps are In the
beginning, they soon become the cause
of untold sorrows, from which in
later life 1t Is frequently impossible
to escape.
A musician who fails to practice
daily soon loses his dexterity. His
mind becomes sluggish, his fingers
clumsy and his eyes less alert.
So 1t is in any other profession or
in craftsmanship.
The man or woman who shows
signs of slowing down is making the
first step toward going down. In a
little while this is observed In
changed attitudes of thought and &C

THE VALUE OF RAIN
WATER

no YOU use hard water out of
well or town water supply for
washing or do you use the soft rain
water, distilled by the sun and clouds?
can remember as boy the rain bar
rel that stood at the end of the porch
under the spout and how in the spring
and summer the water streamed down
over the porch roof, along the cutters
and down the rain pipe into the hogs
head. l remember, too, the cistern
back of the house with rain pipes from
all the four corners of the roof and a
pipe leading up to the pump at the
kitchen sink. We drank the water out
of the well, but we used rain water
for our hands and faces, our skins and
our clothes.
In these days of tube wells, wind
and gasoline pumps and city water
works, few households use anything
else but hard water for all purposes.
The cistern and rain barrel are by no
means as common as they should be.
Yet hard water is not only disagree
able for household uses, but 1t is also
expensive. Instead OF forming
smooth, creamy suds with soap, as
does soft water, 1t makes Shiny,
curdled mess which not only does not
clean as well but uses much more soap
than does soft water.
If you have boilers, heating tanks or
water-heating systems. the hard water
forms scale. which chokes up the
pipes and increases the expense. Used
in factories, it Is much more expen-
sive, as the scale wears out the boiler
parts, causes loss of heat efficiency
and greatly increases the cost of keep.
ing up and running any heating, light
ing or power plant.
Estimating the expense of hard wa
ter, Mr.. E. F. Eldridge Of the Michigan
state health laboratory, says the hard
ness of water is due to two elements
in solution. These are calcium and
magnesium. The calcium is dissolved
in the water by carbonic acid gas. A
family of FIVE with hard water will use
about ninety pounds more soap a year
than with soft water. A household
having water heater or boiler would
use more fuel, as the scale-choked
boiler and pipes would require more
heat than saltwater system.
Hard water can be softened by boil
ing to drive off the carbonic acid gas
when the lime settles to the bottom. 1t
can also be softened by any one of
number of chemical agents. But the
best way to get soft water Is from the
clouds when it can be had merely by
catching it and keeping it.
