CHURCH SCHOOL COLUMN

Doctor and | went out there to see
him before Christmas and he's still
"in the bald" but getting better all
the time. 1t was his legs that were
so burnt, but now he has such pride
in showing how he can wiggle his
toes and turn his foot. Bert will be
fifteen in June so you can imagine
how hard it has been for him. ! am
going out to see him just as soon as
the roads are passable, but his
brothers come in to school and ! Will
send the book out by them.
His mother is so good to amuse
him, but they both ENJOY the picture
postcards and triffles folks send him.
Can you imagine lying on your back
for a year and half and how 1t
would help to get these greetings!
If any of you want to send him
note or game or puzzle the name is
Bert Willbanks, Pleasant Hill, Tenn.
He loves puzzles!
I've told you only of Bert, but
there are more children who will love
the other things.
Your friend,
Mrs. f. L. Fletcher.

CHRISTMAS TREE PARTY

''The Christmas Tree Party" an
event of social nature that has be
come an annual affair for about
lozen Eagle River ladies and with q
membership extending as far as Mil
waukee, Frederic, Duluth and Mime
lpolis, was staged in the Review
office one evening last week, Misses
Mary and Pearl Richards being the
hostesses. A real Christmas tree was
loaded with gifts of varying and sur
prising character, making it difficult
for real Santa Claus to always dis
tinguish who they were meant for,
and invariably when in doubt the
present was presumed to be intended
for Santa herself, and when the gifts
had all been distributed she was in
possession Of several more than the
other guests. After a great deal
vocal and physical persuasion, each
guest received their full allotment of
presents and then the party was
brought to successful close by serv
ing refreshments after which every
BODY took each other home and de
cIared that they had enjoyed wonder
fully exciting time.

Dist. Atty. and Sheriff
Only Changes In Office
COUNTY OFFICIALS TAKE OATH
OF OFFICE FOR COMING
TWO YEAR TERM

Monday, January 9Th, all officers of
Villas county took their seats for
the ensuing two year term and as
most people are aware will consist of
the following persons:
County Clerk Miss Mary Hong
Clerk of Hunter Case.
Dist Atty-Jonas Radcliffe
Register Of Deeds Miss Fern Scott
County Treasurer Chas. H. Adams
Sheriff Herbert G. Bowker
Surveyor-W. J. Walsh
The above officials all succeed
themselves with the exceptions of the
offices of District Attorney and Sher-
if.
Mr.. Radcliffe, the new district at
torney, has been resident of Villas
county for many years, and Is cOnced-
ed to be an able lawyer and a popular
man among all of his friends and
acquaintances That it will be his aim
to serve the county faithfully and eff
GENTLY no one who knows him doubts
His predecessor in office, Geo. g..
O'Connor, and who with the exception
of one term some years ago, has sery
ed in that capacity for many years,
leaves an enyiable record behind him
as a man who filled a difficult and
responsible position with ability and
integrity and with an impartiality
that any man can well feel proud of
as retiring public official. He will
now devote himself to his profession
and will no doubt enjoy the change in
not being subjected to the criticism
that all public officials must at times
endure and frequently, entirely unjust
censure.
Sheriff Bowker who succeeds G. H.
Blohm has been a resident of Eagle
River all his life and is we'll known
all over the county as a star baseball
pitcher and his wide acquaintance of
friends expect that he will qualify as
a first class officer and one who
will do his duty under all circumstan
ces Mr.. Blohm who held the office
for the past term will continue as a
resident of Eagle River having pur-
chased a home on the north side of
the village and with his son George
will resume his former business of
well drilling which he followed for
many years before assuming the sher
ifs office two years ago. AS Ga Off
Ger of his county, he gave a good ac
count of himself and will go down in
the archives of time as a sheriff who
did MOI misuse his authority and did
not evade, his duty.

Resort Owners Assoc.
Should Get on the Air
STEVENS POINT BROADCAST STA.
TloN OFFERS BIG oPPoRTUN
ITY TO AID RESORT GAME

Several Wisconsin towns and com
munities are taking advantage of the
opportunity afforded by the broadcast
ing station at Stevens Point to put
on local programs, consisting of
brief talks and entertainments, of a
boosting and advertising character.
We are informed by local radio fans
that Wausau and Clintonville have
recently put on some interesting pre-
grams calling attention to the advan
tages and attractions of those places
that have of course, been heard by
many thousands of people all ovel
the United States. 1t was suggested t
us that it was features that coulC
profitably be taken up by the Villas
County Resort Owners Association in
securing the use of the Stevens Poin
station for some evening when var
led program furnished by Villas county
residents could be given, calling at
tentiOn to the resources and CONNER
cial activities of the county and above
all, to tell the world in a new and
novel way of it's attractions as a sum
mer vacation land. We do not think
there would be any difficulty in secuT
ing enough talent from among the
men and women of the county to put
on such an evenings program, that
would focus attention upon Villas
county and give it some unusual and
desirable publicity, and who would be
willing to make trip to Stevens
Point for that purpose. Personally
we would like to see the Resort Own
ers Association get busy on this sub
ject and ascertain if it can not be
be arranged in the near future.

The bill to raise the pay of hard
working post office employees may be
defeated because somebody is accused
of trying to get it through by bribery.
What of that? Thousands of under
paid postal employees know nothing
about the bribery, and had nothing to
do with it. The bribery story sounds
rather fishy.
The only question for Congress to
decide is whether or not the men that
do the hard work in the post office
DESERVE decent pay, whether or not
Uncle Sam should set a good example
paying his servants properly, or a
mean, stingy, unworthy example,
cheating his own employees that he
may keep down the taxes of rich men

Segregate your chickens, and be-
ware how you eat raw vegetables, un
less cleaned with greatest thorough
ness, which isn't easy.
Be cautious, especially about raw
lettuce. The French alone know how
to prepare that plant, grown in open
fields, often with barnyard manure
carrying typhoid germs
Every leaf should be separated from
every other leaf and carefully washed
The salad should be mixed in a big
bowl, turned over and over, well fatig
ued as the French put it, until every
part of every leaf has some of the
vinegar on it. Vinegar kills germs.
With vegetables thoroughly boiled
there is, of course, no cause to fear
typhoid.

The New Haven Railroad wants to
stop bus lines in Rhode Island be-

reasonable.
While respectable gentlemen in
Wall street were cutting the New
Haven Railroad, robbing old women
and children that had all their money
invested in it, they squandered mil
lions on trolley lines, etc.
That was all right, because the rail
road did it.
But now private individuals that
own their omnibuses want to carry
citizens that own their public high
ways and want to be CARED. The
railroad says you mustn't DO it; it
interferes with us.

Kodiak Association
 Deplores Attempt
 To Take of Bounty

The Gateway received a letter on the last boat from the westward from MT. w. T. White, secretary of the Southwest Alaska Blue Fox Farmers Association, stating that it's members were alarmed over the attempt of the Territorial legislature to repeal the bill paying S1 bounty for each eagle killed. or over the attempt to reduce the amount of the bounty paid.
 MT. White states that the present bounty has materially reduced the number of eagles i'll his district but there are still large numbers in every section, and should the bounty be re- duced the despoilers of the fox herds would soon propagate and become nu- merous as ever.
 "The price of fox pelts has taken decided drop" says MT. Whites let ter, which strikes southeastern ranch CTS hard, for they were just getting started. Had it held off another year many of them would have been in the pay, and be in a position to fight un- favorable legislation and carry on an extensive advertising campaign but under the circumstances the most of them are compelled to hedge and play safe and try to weather out the un- favorable market.
 We are rather of the opinion that the opposition to the eagle bounty is coming from the outside rather than from within the Territory"
 Mir. White adds that association members are grateful to the Gateway for it's lone fight on the matter and the stand of the paper is appreciated. There is no doubt but that the eagle
