Explainino The Water

GNPioii'h9 INC w ohSt
Many motorists have been puzzled
of late by reason of the water that
often sputters out the end of the ex
haust pipe when the engine is just
starting up. This is very noticeable
now that exhaust pipes run the
length of the car. and many motor
lists are wondering whether it is q

Here's The Reason

When you drive up steep hill
with a cold motor compression
reaches a point where the raw, un-
burned gas is forced down past the
piston rings to dilute the engine
lubricant. Warm UP and there's no
raw gas to force down into the
crankcase.

A strong plea for sports for health's
sake was made Sunday night at the
Opera House by Rev. H. H. Brown, the
speaker at the baccalaureate exercises
for the class Of 1925 at Cony High
school. He asked that less attention
be paid to the receipts at the gate and
more to the proper expenditure of
money SO that everyone might get the
benefit of the healthful exercise and
thus build up q strong, self-reliant
race.
The exercises were Of especial in
terest and the Opera House was filled
with parents and friends Of the men,
bers Of the class. A very pleasing
feature was the large chorus of stu
dents which furnished music during
the progress Of the service. They
were seated upon the stage with Prin-
cipal e. v. Perkins, Rev. H. H. Brown,
the speaker Of the evening, and the
ministers Of the city churches. The
gowns Of the girls, together with the
beautiful flowers with which the stage
was decorated, added a note Of color to
the occasion which was very pleasing.

by Kenneth Fisher, the class marshal.
entered the auditorium Of the Opera
House to the strains Of march played
by the High School Orchestra under
the direction of Miss Gertrude Thorne.
They were seated in the front rows of
the center section Of seats and those
members of the class who were also
members of the chorus then took their
places upon the stage.
Principal Everett v. Perkins Of Cony
High school acted as chairman OF the
meeting, introducing the various peo-
pie taking part in the program. The
chorus sang unfold Ye Portals" from
the Redemption" by Gounod. follow
ing the entrance of the seniors, and
Rev. Dan Huntington Fem then gave
the scripture reading.
A beautiful violin solo, "Serenade,
by Arthur Busque, then followed, and
Rev. A. e. Morris led the gathering
in prayer. A. response was sung by
the chorus and this was followed by
the address of the evening by Rev. H.
H. Brown. The chorus sang Happy
Hour" by Gains, which was made
evening more pleasing by a trumpet
obligato by Orville Haskell.
After the benediction by Rev. Stuart
B. Purves, D. D., the members of the
senior class marched from the audito-
rum to the! music Of the school or
chestra.
The address by Rev. H. H. Brown
was as follows:
s'In the last clause of the last verse
Of the, 18th chapter of Genesis you
will find the words to which call
your attention at this time: And
Terah died in Haran.' Genesis 1882.
''Terah, the father of Abram, gath
cred his family and the relatives OF
his household together and started
from Ur' Of the Chaldees to go to the
Land Of Canaan. On the journey they
reached a place called Haran which
was only part way to their destina-
tion. Here they pitched their tents
and dwelt for awhile; but alas, Terah
went no further on the Journey for

Health Center Meeting.

The next meeting OF the Villas
county health center at Eagle
River is set for Thursday, August
10, at the courthouse. DR.. Eva F.
Johnson will be present to examine
the children and advise with par
ents on the conditions found, and
with expectant mothers who desire
advice for correct hygiene.
DR.. Johnson will be assisted by
Miss Ann Christman, county nurse,
and members of the health center
committee. Miss Mccarthy will be
back in September.
The health centers, for babies
and other school children (under
6 years., are showing up many alb
normal cases as we'll as the many
where only slight variations IN
health habits or diet are all that is
needed to chart a correct course
for normally healthy childhood.
At one center a report cited two
children who, according to the
mother, had been given the usual
amount of candy" (although the
basis for such a standard remains
an enigma). She stated further
that her Is months old baby had
daily commissions. He was getting
tea and coffee three times a day,
the report added, "a daily ice
cream cone, and an occasional
pickle!"
In many feeding cases OF this
type the health center staff are
able to outline procedure which the
parents easily can follow, and
many are the reports of returning
health and good physical develop
ment which greet the doctor at the
next center meeting.
For mothers who come from a
distance. it is urged that appoint
ments for their children be made
in advance if possible, with Miss
Christman, so that their waiting
time may be shortened.

CLEAN LAKE FRONTAGE
Low Stage of Water in Both
Chains and Inland Lakes
Proves Beneficial to the
Owners.

In all the years since this section
OF northern Wisconsin has been
known as a lake region and fishing
ground and summer home colony,
the chance to clean up the shores
OF the lakes and rivers from their
accumulated mass of debris-logs,
stumps and whatnot-has never
been better, and since we men
toned it several weeks ago, most
OF the home owners have taken adj
vantage Of the tip and beautified
their shorelines.
The old stump pile on Catfish
across from the Hemlock and the
summer homes fronting from The
Everett, which for years and years
has been a mighty big "eyesore" to
the motor enthusiast and those
who were summer residents there,
has just about disappeared since
the low water has permitted the
pulling and piling of the mass of
stumps and logs in that portion of
the lake.
Since the burning Of the float
ing homestead that strip of stump
land is being taken care of, The
finishing of this job will place that
section Of Catfish lake in a perfect
condition and no longer will it be
looked upon with horror by the
lakes residents. The channel be-
tween the peninsulas will be kept
open and we'll marked in order that
speed boats and other crafts will
not come to grief by running into
the shadows.
Almost every other lake where
homes and resorts are located have
been cleaned of the accumulated
mass of debris and the value en-
HANGED Of both property price and
appearance.
