looking down from the hurricane deck,

Hooked Eighty Trout.

W. 81. Terrell, George Dunn, George
Staples and Warren Vose angled for
trout in the rivulet known as Hay
creek, sixteen miles from Hinckley,
the first of the week and managed to
induce eighty of the speckled beauties
to take the angleworm and attach
themselves to the hook. There were
no four and fve-pounders landed, but
some of them closely approached a
pound, and that's good enough.
The half-tone representations of
mammoth trout you see in the news
papers are ofttimes made possible by
little trick of the microscopic lens
and published as advertisements for
railroads, summer resorts, etc.
The boys tell us that they fshed in
grass up to their necks and that the
mosquitoes were of sufficient proper
tions to use for bait, but upon this
occasion the fish would take nothing
but angleworms or trout throat.
While the trout in Hay creek are Of
most delicate flavor, we would not
advise sportsmen to angle there un-
less they are possessed of a hide like
a hippopotamus and are not suscepti-
BILE to smotheration.

ROADS And BRIDGES
Completed and in Course of Construc-
ton in Mile Laos County-Travel
is Largely Facilitated.
County Commissioners Deserve Praise
for Their Efforts Toward General
Improvement of Highways.

The steel bridge OF about 100 feet
span over the Rum river in section
Is, town of Bogus Brook, is now com
pleted and the road approaching and
emerging from same graded and
placed in fine condition for travel It
is really splendid piece of highway
and will cut off at least three miles in
the distance of travel between Prince
ton and Milaca.
Another bridge across the Rum river
in Onamia township has also been
completed and new road is in course
of construction between the south town
ship line and the postofice at Onamia.
Last week County commissioners
Shaw, Libby and Deans inspected
and accepted the new road which com.
mences at Page and continues to
Onamia township, distance of six
miles. Commissioner Libby tells us
that the road now extending from
Milaca to Onamia township, of which
the piece just accepted forms part,
and which is eighteen miles in length,
is, without exception, the best in the
county of Mile Laos.

Soil Cultivation.

VIM. E. Curtis in the Chicago Rec.
ord Herald explains method of soil
cultivation introduced by q. ".
Campbell which seems to be at least
worthy Of experimental application:
"Mr. Campbell has been working in
North Dakota, South Dakota, Ne.
braska and Kansas for twenty years
or more trying to induce farmers to
adopt his plan of soil culture as
he calls it, and everywhere he has
been, from the James river in the
north to the Arkansas, he has been
equally successful in producing with
out irrigation the same results that
are usually expected with irrigation
with comparatively little more expense
but a good deal more care and labor.
There is no secret about it. The whole
thing is simply the exercise of care
and patience, and any man of ordin-
airy intelligence can work it as well as
college professor could. Mr.. Camp

to me, are: l. Catchthe rainfall and

Governor Blanchard, whom Chair
man Janiver of the citizens committee
had asked to advance 100000. wired
Mr.. Janiver that he would make the
loan as soon as he heard from a
sufficient number of members of the
legislature if they will support an ap-
preparation of 100000. Affirmative
answers are being received. In adj
dition to this action of the governor
the city took steps to swell the fund.
With $4,000 originally in the hands
of the citizens committee, 1920, 900 is
in sight.

The Limit.

A Scotch minister instructed his
clerk: who sat among the congrega-
ton during service to give a low
whistle if anything in his sermon ap-
peared to be exaggerated. On hear
ing the minister say: "In those days
there were snakes fifty feet long, -
the clerk gave a subdued whistle.
II should have said thirty feet, -
added the minister.
Another whistle from the clerk.
"On consulting Thompson's Con
cordance;" said the minister in con-
fusion, II see the length is twenty
feet.'' ~
Still another whistle: Whereupon

a stage whisper, eye can whistle as
much as. We like, Macpherson, but

Might Have Been Serious.

What might have been a serious
fire was averted by the timely dis
covery of leak in gasoline feed
pipe in the basement Of the Armitage
drug store last Friday night. Two
boys who were passing on the street
noticed through the door of the base
ment small flame shooting up and
upon investigation discovered that
it emanated from a gasoline feed pipe
which supplies the lights above and
in which leak had sprung. They ex-
tinguished the fire before any material
damage had resulted.

MidniSht MarauderS.

I. G. Patterson, as from day to day
he watched his Wealthy apples rapidly
mature, was filed with pride, and in
his minds eye saw them all rosy red
on exhibition at the Mile Laos county
fair. But one dark night a human
varmint stole into his garden and car
ried the fruit away. The fruit alone
would not have been so bad, but the
branch upon which it grew, and which
had been propped up to sustain the
suspended weight, was torn from off
the trees trunk. A load of buckshot
would be the proper punishment for
such nefarious rascals who prowl
around in the night time destroying
property.

The Care of Milk.

The Dakota Farmer offers these
valuable suggestions upon the care
of milk:
The farm separator must be washed
after each time it is used.
Wash the separator and other dairy
utensils with brush and plenty of
washing powder. Do not use a
cloth nor water in which table dishes
have been washed.
Rinse with clean, hot water.
Skim cream of thirty to thirty five
per cent fat. -...-.
Immediately after separating, cool
the cream to the lowest possible tenn
perature. fifty degrees or lower. This
is most easily done by setting the
cream in cold water. Stir the cream
occasionally while it is cooling.
Never mix warm and cold cream.
Before mixing. cool the fresh cream
to the temperature of the cream to
which it is to be added.
Always keep the cream cans in cold
water, summer. and winter. Cream
will take on the odor Of any substance
that is near it.
A cellar that is not absolutely clean
and free from vegetables or other bad
odofs is not the place to keep cream
neither is the stable
DO not cover cream or milk cans
till the contents are cold. Then keep
them closed.
Do not allow the cream to freeze.
1t lessons it's value and may interfere
with an accurate test.
Cream should be delivered as often
as possible. Daily in summer and
three or four times a week in winter
gives by far the best results.
1t is absolutely impossible to make
good butter from old, stale or very
sour cream.
Sour cream does not test as we'll as
sweet cream and butter made from
very sour cream turns rancid much
quicker than when it is soured to just
the right degree, and will not bring
as high a price.
The souring or RIPPING should be
done under the buttermakers care.
Deliver only clean, sweet cream and
then hold the buttermaker responsible
for good grade of butter.

Think of the real increase in value to
each acre of land and to each farm,
that will result from the proper i'm
provement of that road.
Think of the satisfaction as well as
the profit that will come to each prop
erty holder when he realizes that the
obstacles are removed.
And now, the way to go at it. That
is for you and your neighbors to
determine. It all depends upon the
circumstances, but the first thing is
to come to a united and realizing
sense of the immensely of the burden
and the necessity for it's removal.
Talk it over. Figure it out. Esti-
mate how much you and your neigh
bors have lost already. Estimate
how much it will cost to make those

can afford to make them. Estimate

those who live miles farther away
and get them interested. Make list.

Fever Situation at New Orleans.

If the present chaotic condition OF
quarantine matters in Louisiana is
not speedily terminated. in obedience
to a proclamation just issued, the
state board Of health has announced
its intention Of Immediately invoking
civil powers, and that failing, of ask
ing Governor Blanchard to call out
the militia and restore and maintain
order.
The proclamation resulted from the
letters sent by the governor to Presi-
dent Souchon. It prohibits any town,
parish or village from refusing ad-
mission to a person from a non-in.
fected locality, holding a health Ger.
tiicate not over twenty-four hours
old, or to a person from an infected
locality who has spent six days in a
detention camp and has been dis
charged with a marine hospital Ger.
tifcate.
Interference with the passage OF
steamboats, or trains is forbidden un.
less they violate legal quarantine reg
ulations. No mail, freight or express
matter shall, under the proclamation,
be refused from infected territories
providing it is carried in cars which
have been fumigated by the marine
hospital service.
All persons who disregard these
regulations, whether under the sem
blance of boards of health or mass
meetings, are warned that they make
themselves liable to answer in the
courts. It is announced that no more
illegal restrictions on travel or COM
merce will be tolerated.
It is understood that the action
taken by the board of health has the
full sympathy of Governor Blanchard
and that as result, at least in Louis
lana, there will be modification of
the present onerous guarantees.

COUNTY FAIR SEPT. Il
Promises to be the Most Interesting
Ever Held in the County
of lille Laos.
Farmers are Earnestly Requested to
Make Every Preparation for
This Great Event.

Many country papers deem it more
expedient to advertise the State fair
than they do that of the county in
which they are published. We don t.
We believe in boosting the county in
which we reside-in encouraging the
farmers to put forth their best efforts
to make a good home showing.
And to this end we entreat them to
reserve their best exhibits for the
Mile Laos county fair which will
commence here on Thursday, Septem-
Der IA, three days after the close OF
the State fair, and continue to the
evening OF Saturday, September Is.
A preliminary meeting of the Mile
Laos Agricultural association was
held in Princeton on Monday evening
at which it was decided to use every
endeavor to make the coming exhibi-
ton the best ever witnessed in this
part of the country. Horse races and
ball games will enter into the pro.
gram and it was decided to communi.
cate with the Cash Carnival company
with view of bringing that aggrega.
ton here for the occasion.
We are asked by the association tc
request farmers and others who an.
ticipate the exhibition of products al
the county fair to prepare for sthe
event without delay.
Particulars will be published from
time to time previous to the date Of
commencement.
