WILL PAY DEPOSITORS
Farmers & Merchants State
Bank Officials State That
There Will Be No Loss.

Regardless of t h e comment
caused by the closing of the Farm
ers & Merchants State Bank of
Eagle River last week Wednesday
noon, directors of the bank have
informed the Villas County News
that all deposits will be paid in
full as soon as the examiners have
finished checking up the bank S
business.
When the cashier, c.. H. Wiegand
disappeared last week Tuesday
morning and failed to return that
day, the directors asked the exam
iners the following forenoon to
suspend business until the cashier S
return, or until it was determined
just what occasioned his sudden
disappearance and the taking of
his life. The bank closed its
doors Wednesday noon, and since
that time the examiners have been
checking over the business.
Many stories have been going the
rounds as to why the bank closed,
and the above is as near the facts
as can be obtained at present, or
until the examiners have made
their complete report to the direc-
tors and stockholders.

A Major Production.

Manager Emmons of the Eagle
Theatre has secured "The Sea
Hawk" one of Frank Lloyd's fam
Gus productions, and it will be
filmed here tomorrow and Friday
evenings. Critics claim this to be
masterpiece, which takes one
back to the days of galleys, gal
ley slaves, fighting corsairs, harem
slaves, together with oriental
scenes of splendor and bravery.
Enid Bennett, Wallace Berry and
Lloyd Hughes, noted people on the
screen, are the principal characters
and whenever they appear one wit
nesses a splendid production. The
Eagle Theatre has of late been CIV
ing the public many high class
productions. Just the other even
ing we saw Shutdown" and it was
more than worth the time and
money seeing early history por-
trayed. Mr.. Emmons is trying to
secure "The Lost World now
playing in the largest cities. 1t is
now being shown in Chicago.
While it is a major screen produc-
ton and costs big money to date,
the local management will place
it in Eagle River just as soon as it
can be secured.

BEWARE FUR Statesmen
Peddlers Represent Sailors
From Russian Ships and
Bunk People.

The Ironwood Globe warns of the
possible advent in the district of a
group Of fur peddlers who are us
ing selling talks similar to those
which earned rich profits for a
similar group of exploiters who
visited Ironwood a few years ago.
The warning, pro bono publico,
may we'll be repeated.
As the Globe tells the story, the
peddlers represented that they
were sailors given leave from their
ship to sell the fur garments,
which came from Russia. 1t was
an improbable yarn, but many per-
sons fell for it, only to find that
the garments they purchased at
good round prices were shoddy, in
deed.
The same group of men, or a
different group telling the same
sales story, is now operating in
Wisconsin, and the Globe is taking
Sii4fo OPlOI lQlllIy W lllIOIIl1 us
readers to be on the lookout. At
Green Bay, it is reported that resi-
dents paid from SIS to $500 for fur
coats, chokers and other valuable
appearing fur pieces that were
worth from $3.50 to SIS.
Few persons know furs well
enough to pay $500 for a garment
without first determining from a
reliable furrier that the garment
is what it is represented to be. To
hand stranger $50 to $500 for a
fur coat or choker without first
learning if the garment is what it
is represented is like throwing
money away, for, unlike the local
merchant, these sailor furriers are
here today and gone tomorrow and
do not stand behind their goods.
1t seems difficult Tor some people
to learn that the itinerant peddler
is not travelling around the coun-
try for his health. Daily News.

WAS IN THE NINETIES
Northern Wisconsin Suffered
From Excessive Heat Wave
But Promised a Break.

Since Saturday Of last week w
to the present time, Northern Wis
consin surely has been torrid ter
ritory- sweltering heat and the
hottest hot sunshine given this
section for many years. Just a
case of swelter but not severe
enough to cause heat prostrations
Not a case or near-case reported
for along with the heat when it
was way in the COS breeze gave
relief that permitted of outdoor
recreation and labor. If it had
been any other section but this all
work would have come to halt.
That is generally the way in Nor
thern Wisconsin's lake region. One
may have hot" day and still be
pretty comfortable-your clothes
do not stick" to your back, and
sweat does not ooze from every
hole in your BVD's. You guy from
Illinois or Iowa or Missouri or even
down state somewhere in Wiscon-
sin are sure getting 1t handed you
by Old Man Hot Weather; we are
rather enjoying it in outdoor re-
creation or in all sorts of business
pursuits for that matter.
We must admit that while the
lower part of Wisconsin and Min
nesota and Illinois and Iowa are
getting coolies of rain, causing
floods and disaster along with the
hot wave, we are short on water
but long on cooling breezes. Not a
night but that you can pull tie
old wool blanket over you and
snooZe and snooze. And you are
rested to capacity when morning
comes and the alarm starts buzz
ing.
And another thing. You can now
fish for the big fellows out on the
lake for the most of them have
taken to the deep spots where they
fin it away, waiting for the lure to
come to them-and there you have
it. Some good always comes out
of the bad. Rivers and lakes
are very low in water, but some
how we always manage to get
away with most any condition in
this land of big things.
This is the weather and the sea-
son for outing parties; swimming,
fishing, and auto rides to scenic
sections. And that isn't all. This
hot spell is a godsend to the agri-
culturist for his crops are working
twenty-four hours every day in
getting out of the ground toward
maturity. A big hay crop will re-
suit from this hot spell and grain
and vegetables are keeping the
pace as usual.

GASOLINE LAMP BURNS
VIM. Halberstadt of Little St.
German Lake is in Hos
pital Badly Burned From
Explosion.

VIM. Halberstadt, owner of the
Pickerel Point resort on Little ST.
German lake some eleven miles
west of Eagle River, is in the
Rhinelander hospital suffering
from badly burned face and body,
caused by the explosion of a gaso-
line lamp he was handling several
days ago.
The condition Of Mr.. Halberstadt
is said to be very bad, and the re-
port is that he will have to under
go skin grating before his burns
will heal. He and Mrs. H. started
to operate a resort on Little St
German lake several years ago
coming here from Racine.

ARTERIAL HIGHWAYS
All Side Roads and County
Trunks Will Become Ar
terial and Halt Traffic Ac-
cidents.

A conference to consider means
and ways to secure uniformity in
traffic regulations throughout the
state, and especially uniformity in
arterial highway marking as pro-
vlded by law passed by the recent
session of the state legislature has
been called for July Is by the Wis
consin Highway Commission. In
vitations to this conference have
been sent to every sheriff, and to
Others interested in the enforce
ment of the traffic laws.
Chapter 2l1, passed by the legis-
lature empowers villages and cities
to declare roads and streets with
same identity as arterial highways
and TO compel vehicles to come to
a full stop before crossing them,
and to control traffic by the install
lation of traffic devices, and also to
provide for one way traffic where
necessary. Heretofore this power
was limited to cities.
A more important feature of the
new law which will be discussed at
the conference will be the section
which empowers the highway COM
mission to declare any state trunk
highway or any city street which
is a connecting portion of state
trunk highways to be arterial high
ways and compel all vehicles to
come to a full stop within forty
feet of the intersection. County
highway committees are empow-
cred to declare county trunk high
ways or connecting streets as ar
terial highways and subject them
to the same regulations.
The theory of providing for uni
formity, the announcement de-
clares, is so that travellers through
out the state will have fixed in
their minds a similar type of sign
for arterial highways.
