Peters Not the Owner.

In last weeks News it stated in
the court proceedings that George
Peters of Land O. Lakes was found
guilty of operating a house of i'll
fame. This was an error. Peters
and Raymond Teal were on the
calendar for keeping house of ill
fame; Teal jumped the country and
when the case was brought to trial
the charge made against Peters
was that of being an inmate. He
was sent to jail for 80 days and
fined 500 or two months more in
Jail if the fine was not paid.

LOOT WOODRUFF BANK
Blow Vault Door But Fail TO
Enter Money Safe; Seven
Men Get Small Amount of
Money.

The Woodruff State Bank was en-
tered early last Saturday morning
by seven masked bandits and after
blowing the vault door were unable
to secure the bank funds which
were locked in the money safe. All
they secured was something like
$500 in silver. Fuses were laid for
the blowing of the money safe but
the robbers were compelled to
leave before the charge of dyna-
mite was fired.
The looting of the bank took
place around three or three-thirty
o'clock Saturday morning. Seven
men part of them masked, had
charge of the work, and from all
appearances they knew their bust
ness. Driving a decrepit Ford the
seven men came to the village.
First they corralled every citizen
out on the streets at that time and
placed them under custody in a
saloon. After gathering in seven
of the residents and breaking UP a
poker game, they took their prison
ers across the street to the rair
road yards Ind locked thei@ IN r.
frigerator car. With nitro they
blew the vault door, and placed
dynamite and fuses all ready to
blow open the money safe. For
some reason they abandoned this
and after gathering in all of the
lose silver, some $500, they drove
away.
Prior to their starting they cut
all of the telephone wires leading
out of the village, and it was some
time before the Oneida county
officials could be notified. The rob-
berry was we'll planned. While
nothing definite is known as to the
direction taken, the bandits are
said to have been seen near Toma-
hawk; but from there all record of
their escape falls down.
Reports from the Oneida county
authorities yesterday give out the
statement that the bandits never
were near Tomahawk and that so
far there is no clue.

FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT
Two Rhinelander Women
Lost Life in Collision at
Milwaukee.

Two women are dead and three
other persons were seriously in
Jured when two automobiles col
lided shortly after noon Wednesday
at Milwaukee.
The dead are: Mrs. Erick Erick-
son, 55, and Miss Esther Weideman.
10, both of Rhinelander.
The car driven by Clarence Erick-
son, Rhinelander, collided with
that owned by Mrs. Blanche Kissel
of Hartford, Wis, and driven by
Edward Knudt.
Erickson and his two sons, Ray
mond and Clarence, Jr. were badly
hurt.
The three injured were taken to
the Milwaukee County Hospital for
treatment.
A slippery road the result of an
early morning rain, is given as the
direct cause of the accident.
According to witnesses the Erick-
son car was northbound when the
two machines collided. The force
of the impact threw the Erickson
car into the ditch, Mrs. Erickson
being killed almost instantly.
Miss Weideman was rushed to
the hospital in an unconscious con-
dition and died on the way there.
The Ericksons, who had been
visiting relatives in West Allis,
were on their way to Fond du Lac
when the accident occurred.

WHY INVEST BLINDLY
Public Generally Pays Over
Money on Wildcats and
Then Mourns When Stung.

For the entire period in which
the News has been published it has
warned the public to LAY off, any
proposition that comes from out
side individuals whereby they are
selling stock in companies which
local people know nothing about
whatever. AS result of all this,
people here and in almost every
village and city will let loose of
their money and then wall to the
blue heavens when stung. They
never investigate the fact that IT
this stock was such good stuff,
that it would not have to be ped
died out but would be snapped up
by the promoters themselves. The
Tomahawk Leader has a trite ar
ticle on promiscuous buying and
shows the results:
"The public has been warned
time and again not to buy stocks
in companies about which it knows
nothing. There is a large amount
of money ready for investment
this fall; profit by the following be-
fore spending it.
"A girl who had worked for
years as a clerk in a store had
saved $500. A smooth stock sales
man met her and painted glow
ing picture showing profits she
could make in his company, enough
to make her independent for life.
AS a matter of fact, the company
was not even operating. The girl
was so overcome by the story, how
ever, that she invested her entire
5000 without any inquiry as to the
merit of the concern. Needless to
say, she received no dividends and
her capital was lost. Any banker
would have gladly advised her free
Of charge"

WHY NOT CONCRETE HIGHWAYS

IT HE four mile stretch of graveled high
III way on 20 near and alongside Little
" Arbor Vitae lake cost 900 over
year ago to build. 1t is a decidedly
beautiful piece of highway right at this time.
But, according to the highway commissioner
and other highway men, after next year it will
all have to be rebuilt and will cost a mighty
big sum; then couple years more it will again
have to be gone over at like amount of money
for upkeep. The cost so far after years SER
vice, has been $13,75O per mile-and the start
has just been made.
All right; supposing it does have to be sacri-
feed and rebuilt within the period of every two
or three years. What will the cost per mile
amount up to and will we have permanent
highway or only that portion remaining sur
faced enough to stand the excessive traffic
given It, and which needs upkeep But how
about the major portion of this four miles
which will of necessity have to be repaired
regularly.
Let take the highway between Eagle
River and Land O. Lakes 1t has been com
pleted for several years, and according to a
number of the county highway committee and
county board men it is now worn out and will
have to be rebuilt. Highway &c from Eagle
River south to the Oneida county line; highway
70 to Arbor Vitae, all show the same disease;
won't stand up with the excessive traffic
Some ask the remedy. Using the expression
OF one of the county board men after the in
spection trip of highways was completed last
week, it means that the only plausible method
to be employed in Villas county is concrete.
Now you shouting at the big cost of con-
crete roads. All to the good. Take highway Is
between Shawano and Bonduel. 1t has been
concerted at a cost Of $4,000 a mile-iust
$725O more than the Arbor Vitae stretch on
the mile cost. And this is as near permanent
as can be gotten. You can't get away from the
fact that with all the whiting and cutting be-
ing done IN expense, your surfaced highways in
Villas county are costing you more than $2l 900
mile and we have no highways when we get
to the end.
The blame cannot be laid to any individual
or to any body of county men, or state men, or
government men. The surfaced roads will not
hold up the present-day traffic; and the sug-
gestlon made by member of the county board
to hereafter build nothing but concrete, even
though but mile at time, build it permanent
and stop all this extra cost which means good
money out of our pockets but doesn't mean any,
thing In permanency is the best we have heard
yet. 1t is sound in logic and is fact
You can't get away from the point Villas
county might just as we'll start now concretng
any road that must be repaired or rebuilded
1t we do, we will then stop big drain on the
public and at the same time receive something
that is worthy and good for all time

BY tue Assoclated FreSs.
The Capital is astir for the inau-
guration of Calvin Coolidge, but amid
It's glad preparations there are many
stern reminders of that other cere-
mony four years ago, when Warren
Harding rode confidently along to-
ward the summit-and the end-of
his path of glory.
Looking backward now, it is as IL the
Grim Reaper had taken place unin-
vited in the very encourage of the
new President. For the first time a
Chief Executive and his wife both
have passed into the great beyond
within the brief span of years for
which he was chosen to lead his peo-
pie. With them in death is a COM
pany of their dearest friends and
nearly all of the great figures who
were assembled about them on their
day of triumph.
Within the four-year cycle Presi-
dent Coolidge, too, has seen death
touch his own family circle and his
Cabinet, take away two of his prede-
cessors in office. and still forever the
voices of several others who shared
with him the high responsibilities of
government.
OF the many who were brought to
Washington to be chief advisors to
Mr.. Harding just four years ago. only
a handful remain in official life. The
coterie of personal and political
friends he gathered about him here
has separated and almost disappeared
from the Capital. Among the ten
Cabinet members who took office on
March 4, 1921, only four will sit in
the Cabinet of the new administra-
ton.
Perhaps the closest personal asso-
ciate of the dead President and his
wife was their neighbor and family
doctor, Charles E. Sawyer, who be-
came the White House physician On

the stage Of national life, where for
so long he was a towering figure.
Arrived at the Capitol, the inaugu-
