Proved a Hero and
Equal to the Occasion
A PARTY OF DELAVAN PEOPLE
HAVE MOST THRILLING
ADVENTURES

A party of down state people who
arrived at the Tumble resort at
Phelps, Saturday for the partridge sea
son, were Mr.. and Mrs Ray Jacobie
Adolph Johnson and Fletcher Hoag, OF
Delavan Lake and VIM Wells, of Roc
ford, ILL.,, known to his friends as the
Deacon"
All are engaged in the hotel, resort
and summer cottage business at that
celebrated summer town, but they had
never been in this part of northern
Wisconsin, and having heard much of
the prevalence of bears, wolves, ETC.,
in addition to their small game shot
guns, brought along as much heavy
artillery as was owned among them
friends and neighbors The most for
midable weapon of all was a large
hunting knife about thirty inches long,
carried by Mr.. Wells, an heirloom in
his family for more than a hundred
years. When they left home, the rest
of the party ''razzed" the deacon con-
siderably about his ancient hunters
outfit, but by the time they reached
Trumble's Saturday afternoon, were
ready to admit that on not less than
two occasions it had proved very USE
full to them.
They camped one night in the woods
below Merrill, and were awakened
after midnight by some wild beasts of
some description holding a pow WOW
right outside the tent While the rest
of the crowd were getting their big
game guns ready, and according to
the Deacon, not too hurriedly, he
rushed out clad in his pajamas or
some kind of garment answering that
purpose, and brandishing his knife
and search light, put the animals to
rout so that they were not heard nor
seen again. The next day while
Messrs. Hoag and Johnson were fish
ing in one of the Oneida county lakes
they were suddenly attacked by a saw
age fish that tried to capsize the boat.
Mr.. Wells seeing their danger and dill
emma swan out from shore and with
a few strokes of the knife, killed the
fish which they weighed at the first
opportunity and inquired as to what
species it was. They were informed
by garage man that it was one of
the famous muskies they had heard
and read so much about, and were
naturally elated when the garage man
also said it was one of the largest he
had ever seen caught in Oneida coun-
ty. When placed on the scales, his
Judgment proved good as it weighed a
trifle over IL pounds.
Messrs. Hoag and Johnsin were so
overcome with gratitude and admira-
ton for the bravery of their compan,
ion, that they took up a collection
among the crowd for the purpose of
getting the Deacon" some token to
show their appreciation, and when
they reached Rhinelander procured
something suitable at one of the drug
stores.
Their unexpected and thrilling adj
ventures will be long remembered
among their memories of their first
trip to northern Wisconsin and is
vouched for in every detail by both
Mr. Hoag and the Deacon"

FoRDsON TRACTORS CAPTURED
THREE FIRST PRIZES AT
NAPERVILLE. ILL.

Fordson Tractors captured the three
first prizes of the day at the forty
seventh annual Wheatland Flowing
match, held recently at Naperville, Ill
and considered to be the most import
ant blowing contest held annually in
the country.
Glenn Wright of Plano, ILL.,, repre-
senting the Yorkville Motor Co., with
his Fordson Tractor and Oliver pillow
won in the manufacturers class, with
a score of 80 points.
Walter Erickson of Naperville, ILL.,
driving Fordson and GAINESVILLE Pillow
twon first honors and a silver cup in
the Farmers Glass, with score OF
9212 points.
First place was captured in the only
other event, the Boys Glass, by For
rest George, Is years old, scoring SO u
points with a Fordson Tractor and
Oliver pillow.
The victory of the Fordsons was
we'll received by the 900 or 700 en-
thusiastic farmers who cheered the
contestants, since by far the great ma
jority of them were owners of that
type of tractor
Fordson success was not surprise
to the practical farmers who witness.
ed this blowing contest. Factors which
cave the Fordson first honors in every
class were, its flexibility, its short
turning radius and ease of. steering,
one wheel running in furrow. This
makes for better uniformity and
straightness of burrows, both of which
were points considered in computing
the scores.
The farmers at the Wheatland Con
test were over-joyed because one of
their vocation in winning scored slight
ly better than the victor in the manu-
facturers event with his brand new
Equipment. considerable amusement
was afforded by the difficulty in find,
ing horses to pull the only two walk
ing plows" which also took a part in
the blowing of exhibition.

MinOcqua's Golf Links
PACKARD e. RAVEN OF RHINE.
LANDER COMMENCE WORK ON
NlNE-HoLE GOLF COURSE

A nine-hole golf course, which will
be opened for play next June, is now
being constructed by e. t. Hayhurst,
local real estate dealer, on his farm
four miles west of Minocqua on state
highway No. 20. Work on the new
course is being done by Packard e
Raven of Rhinelander.
The site for the new course en-
braces 100 acres of the finest farm
land in this section, making it possibl
to develop exceptionally good greens.
The course will be level and will not
be of the sporty class which. will
make it especially attractive to begin
ners and older people. 1t will be cen
trally located to Minocqua, the SPUR
rel lake country and Lac du Flambeau
and no doubt will receive good patron
age from these sections of the lake
region
With the Minocqua Heights Golf &
Country Club, the Trout Lake Golf
Club, the course in connection with
the proposed Minocqua Beach Hotel
and the one now under construction
by Mr. Hayhurst, this section of the
lake region is fast becoming a golf
center, and the lake region which for
years has offered fishing as a lure to
summer tourists will soon be haven
for golfers from all parts of the Unifrs
States.
The pressing need of golf cou
in this section has been shown by q.
great demands which are being made
for them at information bureaus in the
cities.
The new movement will provide
new means of diversion for summer
tourists, thereby giving our lakes
much needed rest which have been
practically ruined by hook and line
fishing and more SO by the annual
slaughter of the state of Wisconsin in
Meeting fish for propagation, purposes.

Frederic, the home of her brother DR..
John A. Diamond and with whom she
had lived since the death of her father
in Eagle River about twenty years
ago. She always spelt 4 large part OF
her summer vacations IL Eagle River
and thereby retained an interest in it
and it's residents, especially those
whom she had long associations with,
and her brightness of mind and man
ner and exceptional talent for witty
repartee that pleased while it did not
at any time wound, made the name of
Frank" Diamond one that Eagle
River people frequently mentioned
with admiration and sincere love, and
who deeply regret that her last visit
here some weeks ago will be her last
one.

More Jobs for The
Hungry at Madison
WISCONSIN PRODUCE DEALERS
TO BE INSPECTED AND LIcEN-
sED-WE NEED MONEY

Chap. 389 of the Laws of 1925 re-
quires that after January /, 1926, every
wholesale produce dealer shall be
licensed and bonded by the Depart
ment of Markets. The department is
further authorized to tissue such gen
eral orders as are reasonably neces.
sary to assure fair business dealings
by wholesale produce dealers with
those persons from whom they buy
or for whom they act as agent to sell
produce. Violation of such a general
order is punishable by revocation O
license and by criminal penalties.
The department states that the bulk
of wholesale dealers affected by the
law will be- those dealing in potatoes,
cabbage, onions, hay, tobacco, eggs,
poultry, fruit livestock cheese and but
ter.
1t is estimated that at least two
thousand wholesale produce dealers
are subject to the statute.
The purpose of the law is said to be
to safeguard shippers and consigners
of produce, especially the farm produ-
Ger. Dealers shipping to other dealers
are also protected and allowed civil
action on the bond in the event that
the consignee or buyer defaults or is
otherwise guilty of misconduct.
In it's circular Monday the danart-
ment states: "The Wisconsin Depart
ment of Markets intends to be reason
able and fair in the administration of
this statute. 1t does not want to make
this law burden upon the legitimate
produce trade. On the contrary, it is
the hope of the department that this
enactment will work out to the bene
fit and protection of the wholesale
produce dealer who is doing an honest
business"

CAUSED MUCH EXCITEMENT

Guests at the Morey resort were
furnished with some unexpected
thrills one day last week when a
large black bear accompanied by her
cub, appeared on the grounds and took
leisurely stroll around the premises
and then ambled quietly away. Their
visit was treat to many of the guests
who had never before seen bear in
the wild state and furnished most of
them with the inspiration to write a
letter back to their homes, telling of
their good luck in seeing the unusual
sight.
