Returned From Visit.

Mrs. Bertha Scharbeneau, aunt of
Edw. Lacau, arrived in Eagle River
from Ashland last week and will
spend the summer season at the
Lacau home. Mrs. Scharbeneau is
almost a hundred years of age; in
fact is past SO years and is spry
and happy-the years having evi-
IDENTIFY slipped by without her
knowing it. Mrs. S. is of that
sturdy type living to- an advanced
age and she does not consider that
she is "old" in any manner one
might put the statement. It's is q
ripe old age but as it has been one
of delight and happiness there is
no cause for complaint.

Mothers Day z

- UNDAY, May 10, is Mothers Day. 1t is
~ her day-when the nation bows in hui
- mility, showing reverence for the COM
posite Mother, who is typical of all
that is good and wholesome and sympathetic
Public recognition of the debt due mothers
that has been growing annually, is splendid
testimonial to human character, and refuta-
ton of the common charge that people are
mercenary.
A deep and abiding sentiment inspired the
idea of Mothers Day and has fostered it and
caused it to become more generally recognized
each year.
Mother is a word expressive of tenderness
and kindly sympathy. She exemplifies the
spirit of service and self-sacriicing love-a
practical sort of love that shows itself by Civ
ing all that it has,
1t is the spirit of sympathy appreciation and
practicablity that makes mother unspeakably
precious and has won for her the expression of
gratitude from a thankful people once each
year.
The same measuring stick can not be applied
to all mothers They differ just as all human
beings differ, but they fulfill their obligations
of motherhood according to their knowledge
and understanding.
There are some who are concerned about the
future motherhood whether the present ten
denotes that detract from the home will lower
the standards of motherhood. They need not
be alarmed.
Mother will ever be Mother, for her instincts
old as the first mother, were she living,
and deeply imbedded as a part of her char
acter. Mothers of today have as great con-
Germ for the welfare of their children as past
Mothers ever did, but Mothers change with the
changing times, and their conduct as Mothers
can't be judged by the same standards as a few
decades ago.

BOOST IN WATERSHED
Railroad Village in Michigan,
Just Across From Wiscon-
sin, alive One.

Speaking generally OF directions
one usually says up North" or
down South" "over East" or "out
West" That is most generally as
stated above.s
But when you mention Waters
NEE, Michigan, you are twisted as
to the proper way of saying
where it is, for it lies across the
divide and on waters running di--
rect north to Lake Superior. From
Eagle River, which is but thirty
miles south Of Watersmeet, you
say when speaking of going to
that Michigan railroad center: "up
north and down north in order to
get there. Confusing, isn't it.
Here is why: Direct north from
Eagle River to old State Line sta
ton ON the Northwestern railroad,
you go upstream; therefore it is
up north. After leaving State
Line going north to Watersmeet
you are going down stream with
Lake Superior waters; therefore
you change around and say down
North"
Anyhow, that has nothing to do
with the bunch of mighty snappy
railroad and other fellows who are
now placing Watersmeet on the
map as a real honest-to-goodness
commercial cen&r. Some time ago,
possibly year for that matter,
number of these citizens of Waters
meet banded together for the good
Of their community; last winter
they started a Mems Civic Club
and have flou Fishing membership,
meeting twice month where they
have little feed and then discus
sions for what is the best for their
iowa. That they are making in
oads into the prosperity Of the
settlement is shown by the manner
in which this Michigan village is
doing in a business line. New
buildings and new residences are
going up and business places estab-
ished-doesn't look like the old
lumberjack days; far from it now.
Last Thursday evening the Mems
Club builded a banquet and pro-
gram for a meeting on their regu-
lar night, issuing invitations to
men from Three Lakes, Eagle
River, Phelps and Iron River. Fol-
lowing a bully good feed and short
talks the club staged a 3-round
bout between two young fstic
aspirants. On account of lack of
training and shortness of wind,
the exemplifiers of the manly arts
were given short rounds by the
referee, and the result was a
mighty snappy exhibition.
The officers of this club are: S.
d. Warren, president; ]. L. Parker,
vice-president; r. H. McIver, sec
rotary; Charles Hester, treasurer;
VIM. Horton, chef.
The organization and work of
this club shows what can be done
by getting together in a commun-
ity and pulling together. The
writer has attended two of these
meetings and has seen the spirit
with which these men of Waters
meet use in combining all energy
without dissention and as a result
really accomplish something. Other
towns smaller and larger than
Watersmeet may we'll pattern after
this village.

TO PLACE BLAME
Murder of Dry Crusader
Still Is UnSoIved.

BIZ United Press
VINTON, Iowa, Sept. 15.-The
murder of Mrs. c. B. Cook, Benton
County temperance crusader today
seemed destined for a place with
Iowas unsolved crimes.
After hearing the testimony of
Clifford Cook, husband of the slain
w. c. T. T., president and that of
George Buchanan, Waterloo sales
man, Coroner c. l.. Modlin adjourned
The inquest indefinitely for lack of
evidence. Further investigation Of
remote ciews will be conducted, but
authorities intimated that solution
seemed impossible.
Buchanan corroborated Cooks
previous testimony. He said he was
at Grundy Center, forty miles from
Vinton, on the night of the murder
and that Cook was registered at a
Grundy Center Hotel that night. He
said he knew Cooks automobile was
parked in front of the hotel between
the hours of eight and eleven o'clock

COMPETITION IS
NOT FAIR, SAYS
COACH COMPANY
Street Railway Company Is
Attacked by Bowman in
Pamphlet.

Unfair" and destructive"
methods of competition were laie
to the Indianapolis Street Railway
Company, in a plain Statement of
Facts" distributed today by A.
Smith Bowman, president, Peoples
Motor Coach Company.
The printed statement attacks the
effort of the street car firm to oper-
ate bus lines on Central Ave. and
Riverside routes.
Indifference Charged
The street car firm is charged
with Indifference" to the require
ments of patrons. Patrons of the
lines We're called upon to organize
and fight the street car companys
petition before the Public Service
Commission for the right to operate
on the two routes.
The statement says in part:
The Street Railway Company
has not voluntarily established a
single bus line in new territory, but
they have hampered us in every
possible manner in our pioneer work,
and now their requests are for lines
competing with our established
routes, thus showing bad faith and
questionable methods of business
Aince they made no effort to secure
1.-The rights when the territories were
8nserved, why should they seek
nov to serve them when there is in
operation adequate and satisfactory
transportation?
Unfairness Alleged
with all the clamor in Indianap-
oils for additional transportation, the
fact remains and the records show
that they have not asked for a sin
gle line that is not served and COW
cred by our service.
THE Public Service Commission
has the petition of the Railway Com
pany up for hearing. 1t should be
ruled against for your benefit and
in fairness to us"
