Concerning this coming game,
The Minocqua Times is already do
ing some roofing. Here are its
words:
"The first team squad in basket
ball has been selected and will go
to Eagle River for it's first game
Friday. Last year Minocqua de
feated Eagle River but the referee
decided otherwise. You who saw
the game know the story well. This
is still an open sore and the boys
are determined to win or die in the
attempt. The boys who are likely
to be seen in action are Melvin
Minton, Phillip Roller, Arthur Dor
win, Fedelis Rigwood, Harold Fred
ericks, George Nichol, John Carlin,
Robert Caylor, Stanley Ahlborn,
Maurice Minton, Peter McCabe and
Alvin Gongaware. Other boys who
are out for basket ball this year
are Harold Ray, Alfred Ray, James
Matthews, Donald LOOMS and
Cleveland Caylor.
It's doubleheader, folks. The
roads look passable, so plan nothing
for Friday, Nov. 20 but these games
at Eagle River. Turn out and yell
for the teams. Get there by train
truck, car or ankle express just SO
you get there and yell--yell-yell!

BOOSTS WINTER SPORTS
Halberstadts Set Example In
Opening Door to the Great
White North

Winter sports will during the
coming season be featured at the
resort of Mr.. and Mrs. E. S. Halber-
stadt, on Pickerel Point on Little
St. German, who will keep "open
house" throughout the winter 1t
has been the custom of the Halber-
stadts to spend the cold months in
the South, but they have been con-
WINGED of the business eppertun-
tiles connected with winter sports
and will attempt to develop them.
They, in fact, are looking forward
to a good trade, provided too heavy
snowfall does not interefer with
auto traffic.
The development or rather rejuv-
enation of good old-fashioned win
ter sports is a proposition that
every resort owner in this section
should give serious study. 1t would
unquestionably create a thriving
business practically the year round
and incidentally open up a source
of handsome profits.
There are literally legions in Chi
cago and the other big cities with
in a nights ride of the North
Woods who are enthusiasts for all
the various winter sports, without
opportunity to indulge in these
pleasures. Merely as an example, in
Chicago only a few small ponds in
the public parks are available for
skating under natural conditions;
yet there are three million poten-
tial skaters in that city. At the
rather rare intervals when it is
skating weather, thousands throng
these small areas, cutting up the
ice hideously in no time. Neither
the lack of elbow room nor the
condition of the skating surface
conduce toward making the sport
worth while. Opportunities for
skiing, toboganing or kindred
sports are nil, and there remains
little or nothing else for people to
do during their leisure winter hours
but to shut themselves within their
apartments, their theatres or movie
houses and keep out of the cold or
raw dampness.
Yet these folks want winter
sports. Did they know that short
distance northward there were
ample facilities for enjoying an
ideal winter outing, a great many
would with certainty take advan-
tage of them. Open the doors to
the Great White North for these
people and watch the results.
The wealthy often travel across
ocean and all ofFrance in order to
enjoy the thrill of coasting down
an iced track in Switzerland. Bust
ness and professional men of lesser
means in New York with their fam
lilies, flock upstate, and particularly
to Maine, New Hampshire and YER
mont during the winter months to
live red-blooded human beings
life for brief spell, to key them
up for continued existence in the
great city.
In Chicago people are not in the
habit of doing likewise, SC far as
northern Wisconsin is concerned
the resort owners have only them
selves to blame for neglecting to
prepare facilities for this character
of trade or failure of adequately
advertising these facilities.
Northern Wisconsin is the Play-
ground of the Middle West during
the summers; why not also during
the winter?
Follow the example set by the

from the disposition of the various
players in regards to this coming

timber Lands
OF WISCONSIN
Member of Depart
ment of Agriculture
Discusses Present
Day Problem In
State

John /. Jones, department of ag-
riculture, Madison discussed the
land problem in Wisconsin before
the members of the Kiwanis club
today at the regular luncheon at
the Warren.
At the present time enough land
is under cultivation, in fact no
more should be cultivated for a
decade or two, Under the circum-
stances he could not understand
why attempts should be made to
GEAR the sandy lands in the north :
ern part of the state or why the
United States should build huge
dams in the west in order to ir-
rigate more acres.
The problem of the farmer today
is not more production but better
marketing facilities. 1t has been
found that products, such as po-
tatoes, bring three times as much
when grown near large cities than
when shipped from Waupaca or
ether distant counties.
How To Increase Wealth
The speaker pointed out that
new wealth to the vast sum of a.
bout $120,00O,O0O a year is produc-
ed by the paper making concerns
along the Fox river valley. Mr..
zones would bring more factories
into the state and in that way
bring the consumer nearer to the
producer He hoped to see the phen
omenon Of small town growth.
Many manufacturers in the cities
are beginning to see the advantag-
os in the rural towns and are NOV
ing their plants to such places.
The speakers solution for the
cutover lands in Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota is to grow
more timber, increase the flood
control and in that way develop
the recreational advantages.
