SHORT TRAIN SERVICE
Northwestern Gives Twice a
Week Service Until Sept.
17th Sunday Only After
That Date Until Oct. sth.
The limited or “fish run” on
the Monico-Watersmeet branch,
which has been making a three
time-a-week schedule the past
two months, has been reduced
at follows:
From now until September 17,
the limited will arrive on Wed
nesday and Sunday mornings,
returning the same evenings.
After that date it will arrive
on Sunday mornings only up to
its discontinuance October sth.
Tourist traffic on the limited at
this late date is heavier than it
has ever been before. This is due
probably to the fact that the
resorts of northern Wisconsin
having been unable to take care
of the untold thousands who
have visited this section during
the mid-summer outing season,
has caused the overflow to re
turn for the months of Septem
ber and October—the two best
months for the outer and health
seeker.
A Long Crop of Blueberries.
Even the old timers who have
inhabited this part of the state
since the year One, have to ad
mit that this year’s crop of blue
berries is ths largest, and has
lasted the longest of any since
their day- It has now been over
two months since the first berries
were picked, and there are still
thousands of bushels in good
shape for picking and canning.
Of course they are dead ripe, and
while a few are being sent to the
cities, shipment has aboutended.
Albert Budde shipped quite a
consignment yesterday and the
berries were in fine shape. Wild
cranberries are now coming into
market and this crop is said to
be unusually large.

Phelps News.
Phelps day at the Vilas County
Fair was a big one. In the first place
it was a grand day. In the second
place there were lots of Phelps people
there and the entire Phelps band were
there with their new uniforms. In
the third place the Phelps farmers
carried off their share of the prizes
and honors. There was a wonderful
exhibition cf farm products in the
show building and it was quite an
honor to be a prize winner. Even
our cheese maker, Ed Vanderberg
carried away a premium in his line,
though it was understood competition
was not heavy. (Cheese up Ed, how
ever that was very good cheese.)
The ball game in the afternoon was
a close one but not overly exciting.
A tine dance in the evening ended the
day’s performance and everyone was
satisfied with the future outlook of
Vilas county and a real fair.
Dr. H. M. Weed was called to Boni
fas, Michigan last Saturday evening.
Mrs. Gonian of that village was very
sick.
Well that long looked for and much
talked of event, “Tom’s Grand Open
ing” occurred Monday evening.
Phelps now has one of the neatest ice
cream and candy parlors in the coun
ty. Extra help had to be called in to
help wait on trade, but very good ser
vice was given on the occasion. Mr.
McGregor is well liked by everybody
and lam sure we all join in wishing
him great success.
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Covey left Sat
urday morning for the big State Fair
at Milwaukee. Mr. Covey goes as a
Vilas county representative and to
assist in looking after Vilas county’s
exhibit and their interest. A very
neat folder for Vilas county’s adver
tising has been gotten out by Beebe
of Milwaukee, written up finely and
illustrated. This year’s showing at
the fair ought to be a booster for Vi
las county.
Ed Anderson and family made ah
auto trip to Crystal Falls Sunday.
Ed says the roads are a regular dream
though the big trouble is, too many
people are having the same dream at
the same time.
L. G. Weed and friends made a
“Ford” trip to Iron River Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Christiansen
left Sunday for a trip up into Minne
sota. C. M. will visit the home of his
sister.
Oh say but it seems good to once
more see the smiling faces of our
teachers dear: Fred Kildow, Miss Lep
la and Miss Reed. There is another
one too boys, but up to the present
writing the News reporter has not had
an introduction. Will till in in a lat
er issue fellows so you’ll have infor
mation necessary.
School at Phelps, it is needless to
say after above announcement, com
menced Monday.
Mary Pickford had a tine audience
at the Happy Hour Theatre Saturday
evening. Fatty’ made a big hit as us
ual with all present. Remember that
October fourth, the big production,
entitled “The Spoilers” will be pre
sented. This is taken from Rex
Beach’s great novel and is as good a
feature as will ever be presented here.
Back From Hospital.
Mrs. John Sisson of Little St.
Germain lake came home yester
day from Rochester where she
had been seeking treatment.

Some guys who are nuts on the
trout game, and who live at and be
low State Line, this state, finished up
the tail end of the 1919 season in
Michigan by casting their flies in the
Ontonagon river. They were accom
panied by J. A. Pennington, who is
the champion “nightcrawler’’ catch-,
er in the Upper Peninsula, and who
agreed to furnish grasshoppers for
John Frank of the above Michigan
railroad station. S’all right, until
Frank lost his bag of hoppers in the
brush arid thereby put himself out of
commission for the day. Next day
John Martin, walking over the same
trail, and bent upon finishing up the
bad job the other fellows fell down
on, found Frank’s bag of hoppers and
his day’s catch with the aforemention
ed grasshoppers netted him eight dad
btnged big trout.
Watersmeet made good on her ball
game yesterday by a score of 16 to
12. As usual the reliable old lemon
was passed to the other team. And
by the way, Kellysmeet has been able
to band that li’l old lemon away sev
eral times the past few years—and it
is still in good condition for the 1920
season.

real quality tobacco gives
them better satisfaction
and they find their chew

With this class of tobacco,
you don’t need a fresh
chew so often and you find
you’re saving part of your
tobacco money.
