Family Has Troubles.

The family of Isaac Anderson,
town of Conover farmer, have been
having their share of troubles the
past few weeks. The first accident
was to their twelve year old son
Ewald, who fell and broke leg.
Then their daughter Ellen, teacher
at the Mannheim school, was taken
with pneumonia and for some time
her life was despalred of. However,
she is now reported to be out of
danger, and Ewald is recovering
rapidly from his accident. The An
derson family own a farm in sec
ton 13-41-10 town of Conover, and
have owned it since 1903. Their
farm is called "Anderson's Farm"
and is one of the many money-mak-
ing homes in Villas county.

who will lead for betterment of all farm
conditions
1t is true that prior to this Villas coun-
ty farmers were told to place all of their
marbles within one basket; this was not
entirely the county agents fault, for he
was then following some of the big ideas
advanced by the state agricultural depart
ment; ideas mighty good for the bigger
counties and weather. farmers, but abso-
lutely misfit for such county as Villas
with her small farmers. Not alone was
Villas county injured and placed in the
bankrupt class; many other counties our
size, and they are numerous, fell down as
we did. But at that, we have learned a
lesson and from now on if given the oppor-
tunity, will profit lucratively from those
same errors.
Morality, p r S a Ii y and good
strong common sense are what a county
agent should have, and if he comes again
to Villas county he of an assurity will be
compelled to possess all these qualifca-
tions and keep them in the front or his
life will be short as an agent for the pub

Is Boundary Witness.

Finn Lawler is at Madison this
week, called as a witness on the
boundary dispute between the
states of Michigan and Wisconsin.
The territory involved is that west
of State Line, or Land O. Lakes to-
ward Hurley, Wisconsin and Iron
wood, Michigan. This case has
been up for the last century or
more, and looks like a matter of
some people getting across a hid
den benefit should the boundary be
changed. Michigan would be the
beneficiary should this occur. But
there is very little belief in the
changing for the lines have been
distinctly in evidence for years and
years.

RAIN AND SLEET COVER
Mondays Storm of Rain and
Sleet Makes for Slippery
Hiking and Hauling.

Starting about eight-thirty Mon
day forenoon, by noon a slippery
coat of ice formed on highways and
walks to the detriment of the
smooth-shod pedestrian and animal
who by necessity had to traverse
sidewalks and highways. One fell
low remarked after he had seen the
ACCESSIBILITY of cushioned cover
ing on his western end while at
tempting to go east, that he would
be dingdanged if a real sensible
man would attempt to travel while
the blast of Nature was in pro-
gross. Heels naturally meant for
the down end of a being, usually
emulated a balloon and traffic came
just to a standstill for several
hours.
The storm was general. At An
tigo half inch of ice covered the
ground and at New London it was
heavier. Some damage was done
down state by the sleet covering,
but up in the North Woods it only
hampered the smooth shod, includ-
ing autos without chains. Follow
ing the storm the weather warmed
considerable, and yesterday fore
noon part of the ice covering could
be removed from the walks. This
lasted however but a short PERIOD
and by noon a stiff wind from the
southwest frightened evrything up.
The ice coating, however, aided
the pulp and log haulers and big
record loads were brought into the
landing yards. The past few days
have been on the spring order, and
the present cold snap means but a
prelude to the opening of spring
and the disappearance of all the
snow.

Farmers Petition Villas County Board of Supervisors
to Employ common Sense Agricultural Agent

Lincoln Grange No. 654 numbers some
eighty farmer members, and at booster
meeting held March first in Eagle River
were unanimous for the employment of a
county agricultural agent for Villas county
farmers.
By resolution this organization of
soil tillers emphatically state the kind of
man absolutely necessary in making for
the salvation of the small farmer (as well
as the average and the large) real pay
able asset instead of one of non-productive
qualifications.
The resolution is given and the writer
is of the opinion that the Grange mem
bers and other farmers as we'll, realize the
necessity of real honest-to-God assistance
in order to build up our farming industry.
The resolution reads:
RESOLVED, That Lincoln Grange
No. 654 in session assembled this first
day of March 1925 go on record as
unanimously endorsing the hiring of a
County Agricultural Agent for Villas
County, and ask the County Board of
Supervisors of Villas County to con-

TRY kinney IN PHILLIPS
Case Is Transferred From
Oneida County Claiming
He Could Not Get Fair
Trial.

In Oneida county circuit court at
Rhinelander ON Monday Judge A.
H. Reid transferred to Price coun-
ty the case Of Clark G. Kinney, for
mer Three Lakes drainage district
treasurer. Several afidavits were
filed alleging that the defendant
could not be given a fair trial in
Oneida county because of popular
prejudice.
Among the signers of the aft
davits were Mayor William Gilley
and Chief of Police Maurice Straub
Of Rhinelander. The case will
probably be tried in Price county
circuit court in Phillips late in
April.
Kinney is charged with embezzle-
ment of the drainage funds.

slider this matter as coming direct
from farmers who believe such an
agent is necessary for the betterment
of our agricultural conditions.
Therefore we ask for a County
Agent who will personally look after
the interests of each and every farmer
in the entire county; one who by the
use of common sense will understand
what assistance should be given the
small, the average, and the large
farmer and not bankrupt the small
farmer with big farmer ideas; an
agent able to intelligently instruct
the farmers what they should go into
and while they are struggling along
aid them in securing other lucrative
work and sustenance until in posi-
ton to assist themselves.
We believe such an agent, if he
can be secured, will mean the saliva
ton Of the farmers of Villas County
and be the means of broadening our
tillable acreage to such an extent that
the farmers will become self-support-
ing and Independent of loan agents
and bankruptcy courts.
Therefore, Lincoln Grange No. 654
as a body asks the County Board of
Supervisors of Villas County to CORES
pond w h tn State Agricultural
Board at Madison and ascertain if
such an agent as we have stated can
be secured; and if he can, to make all
haste in hiring him for the present
year.
If such a man as the farmers ask fol

states trained agents, the Villas count.

lie good and progress. People fooled once
are rather skittish in trying again. Loan
agents and bankruptcy courts f1ourished
here for some time and most every tiller
of the soil became disgruntled and moved
away leaving their little home and all the
time and money invested go to the bow
vows. Then the county did away with
their agricultural agent.
There were good reasons. A "one-
farmer" or "one-district" county agent was
a detriment to the county instead of being
an investment; instead of aiding in the
building for the better and more economic
results, he created hardships and dissen-
tions among the whole people,
There is no r ason W ny county
agent, the same as game warden or the
principal of a school or superintendent of
a sawmill cannot be a success in his work
and be builder of men and business
methods. To be successful county agent
can easily be every mans friend and one
who looks out for the welfare of EVERY
farmer in the county-not have a choice
of certain men or a certain district-but
one type for EVERY man, woman, child
or district.
He must use good, wholesome common
sense and know when to use it. Instead of
telling the small farmer he must clear a
dozen acres and buy purebred stock simply
because the state advances such ideas, he
should know what is best for this man;
assist him in economically (slowly) work
ing up his farm to where he can in time
enter the class of "big" business and not
be under the grasp of loan sharks or in
bankruptcy. He should help the little fell
low in EVERY COMMUNITY-not in Sc
cluded or picked territory-help him get
paying jobs that he may have sufficient
funds to keep the wheels going and feed
for his family while in the embryonic
stage of farm making.
Common Sense is right all the time,
and should be used in farm making.
Villas county with her fertile soil for
clovers and grains and grasses and vege-
tables and other roughage, will care for
many hundreds of heads of good grade and
purebred stock; will harvest many hun
dreds of acres of prize winning spuds-in
fact she is ready to shop to it" if the coun-
ty board will but again take up the matter
of county agricultural agent employment
The cost is so very small that there will
be no increase in taxes when the good
that will accrue is once understood and
rightly estimated.
Lincoln Grange and every other Villas
county farmer who seeks common sense,
agent to help better our agricultural con-
ditions has the undivided support of the
News; for we see in it the making of some
thing out of what has been debauched by
lackadaisical methods of uninterested indi-
viduals. A county agent is the savior of
the small farmer in this county.
