FAIR is BENEFIT TO ALL
A County's Exhibits at Coun-
ty Fairs Shows Best of All
Community Power.

A county's rural interests are
bettered or handicapped according
to the purchasing or consuming
power of it's neighboring cities says
last we ks Rhinelander New
North. The city's interests are inn
proved or hindered according to
the prosperity, productivity and
purchasing power of its rural in
terests.
Upon weighing the above facts,
the natural conclusion should be
that county and city interests are
mutual and that what benefits one,
benefits the other; or, that the
whole community including the
city are putting their earnings in
to one big vast hopper called MI
tual Interests and that the small
arteries leading out from it are di-
viding it's contents pro rata ac-
cording to individual effort or in
vidual merit. Therefore, the more
that goes into the hopper, the more
there is to divide; which should
prove that if the county fair edu-
Gates, develops and makes for a
better rural citizenship it necessar-
ily must make better business
and living condition for the towns
and cities.
Next week is the Villas County
Fair. You can either make it or
break it, just according to your
community pride.

RECOVER STOLEN CAR
Find E. w. Parsons Lafay-
cite Abandoned on Streets
of RhineIander.

The E. w. Parsons car, a seven
passenger touring, which was stolen
Saturday night from the garage
was found Monday parked on a res
idence street in the city of Rhine
lander where it had stood, after be-
ing abandoned by the thieves, all
day Sunday and Sunday night. 1t
was not damaged.
The car was taken from the sum-
mer property of Mr.. Parsons To-
Gated on Yellow Birch lake two
miles north of the village, some
time after ten o'clock Saturday
night. The thieves ran the car
away from the garage and resi-
dence very quietly before putting
on the power and the theft was not
discovered until Sunday morning.
Three other cars in the garage
were put out of immediate COM
mission by slashing the tires on
some and letting the air out of the
others.
Radio broadcasting Of the stolen
car was started by Mr.. Parsons
Sunday afternoon and evening, it
looking as though the car would
be run over the border into Canada.
Monday forenoon the car was found
on a side street in Rhinelander.
From all appearances, the theft
had been prepared for in advance,
two men having been seen prowl-
ing around the premises of the
Parsons home several days before.
The watch dog, used to guard the
grounds gave all appearance Sun
day morning of having been
poisoned.

WALTONIANS SEE DIG
President of Ike Waltons is
Asking for Dates to Visit
Villas County Sportsmen.
Ever meet Will Dig?

Ever meet VIII Dllg.
He is the man who founded the
lzaak Walton League of America;
a man who is devoting all of his
time, money and energy toward
making conservation of our wild
life permanent thing and build
for the coming outdoor man, wo-
man, boy and girl heritage in fish
and game and streams and woods.
Will Dig is president of the Ma
tional League. He has written
John Vandervort, president of the
Villas County Chapter, to make
dates for himself at both Sayner
and Eagle River some time later
when he will deliver his famous
talks on what we must do to con-
serve in wild life. He is an un-
assuming man, and when we heard
him talk to thousands at the Ma
tional convention in Chicago last
April, it was patent that Will Dig
really believed as most every other
soul-loving sportsman tn at we
must mend our ways as sportsmen.
Otherwise devastated country is
ours and no takers asking. He is
sane and logical and does not ask
you something impossible; his is a
fine tribute to any conservationist,
whether he be fisherman, hunter,
or nature lover.
1t is for the coming boy and girl
that Will Dig is talking. Plans
are now being made for his meet
ings in Villas county this fall. The
dates of his coming will be given
out later. If you miss hearing this
grand old Waltonian, you surely
miss mighty convincing argu-
ment for the building of more and
better and cleaner craftsmanship.

OUTING CAMPS CLOSED
Boys and Girls Camps in
North Woods Complete
Eight Week Outing.

From an expression made by a.
stranger the other evening when
the boys camps of this section
were entraining at the Northwest
crn depot in special pullman
train we might begin to realize
lust how many boys and girls find
clean outdoor living in the North
Woods during the summer vacation
months. 1t has seemed to pass by
the average man or woman just
what boy or girls camp means to
the Young mind during school va
cation. Most think it a method of
the wealthy in getting rid of their
children for a period of eight
weeks-just passing the buck, so tc
remark, to some paid tutor who
will haphazardly look after the
kids during the school vacation,
and get them back when school is
ready to open.
How foolish is that individual to
even think up such nonsense. He
never goes into a boy or girl camp
and therefore is absolutely unreli-
able in his assertions, no matter
what they may be. He does not
know that the boy and girl have
just finished a period of eight
weeks in clean thoughts and clean
living; are far more healthy than
when they came up the first Of
July into the woods, and regret
that they must return to their city
homes.
We heard two of the youngsters
from camp talking about what
they had done during the eight
weeks. 1t was a revelation as to
what the camps are selling the
parents in wholesome outdoor liv-
ing for their child. These two kids,
not over twelve, were telling Of the
number of deer they had seen; the
good eats the camp put up; the APP
petite they had acquired and the
weight each one had advanced.
Theirs had been a period Of healthy
enjoyment under the tutelage Of
experienced men and women who
love the outdoors for itself and not
for any sordid monetary gain. One
kiddy told of how he had learned
to swim, the distance he could COW
er in an emergency with his clothes
~ 10 hn
to his requirements, stated that
the best thing he had done was to
sleep and eat all he wanted and
when he wanted to, that he had
grown a "mussel' next to Dempsey.
Those kids were but a sample of
what boy and girl camp does to
bring out the best in a youngster
and kill off all that is bad. Clean
living and the outdoors does it.
How did your boy spend his sum-
mer?
Last evening saw the, breaking
Of the last big boys camp in this
section. Camp Flambeau entrained
IN a special pullman last evening.
1t followed Winnepe and Idyle
Wyld and Mime Wonka camps
who closed the last week. The boy
and girl camp is now an assurance
and has been scientifically tested
out and found that it is the only
salvation of the boy and girl, no
matter from what walk in life,
whether it be of affuence or pow
erty; it builds for the better men
and women who will take our
places in this life within a few
years. Every camp Of this nature
