CORRESPONDENCE
For Fish and Game WardenS

EDITOR COURIER;
Would il be asking too much II we re-
quest you to publish the latest fish and
game laws? And great many persons
would like 10 know why each district ia
not entitled TO a game and fish warden.
My impression is that the Board Of
Supervisors OF each county are com.
manded by law to recommend to the
Circuit Judge the name Of some suitable
person for fish and game warden in each
district in each county. The people
living in Greenway district are desirous
of having the game and fish wardens
appointed, and If the Board has not "a
yet made any recommendations we hope
they will do so at the next meeting.
There are now few fish in our beautiful
river and game is getting scarcer every
year. l fear that no fish ladders have
ever been placed on the dam at Millville.
Tor certainly since its construction fish
are much scarcer than ever before. II
there is any law protecting the game
and fish, it ought to be enforced: and II
there is no protection for either. our
''Solons' should be called upon 20 frame
and pass a good law. Mr. Editor. won't
you kindly ask the above questions9
And then let some one answer. and tell
Us how TO proceed to obtain the desired
end
/ Pro Bono PUBLrCo.
I'm regard to the fish ladder query. we
will say that the electric company which
owns the Millville dam has already ac-
cepted plans for the construction Of fish
ladders which have the unqualified ap-
proval Of. the Fish Commissioner of
West Virginia. We believe the contract
has already been awarded, but the con-
struction work has undoubtedly been
delayed by the condition Of the water.
The dam viii certainly be constructed
| during the summer, and will be correct
in every particular, as the electric COM
pany is doing al that it can TO properly
comply with every legal requirement

KEEP THE FLOOR POLISHED.
Simple Method That Takes Place Of
Continual Work.

Hard wood floors are beginning to
look little the worse for the win
ter's wear. It's always a problem to
keep them looking well without a con.
tinual polishing performance. summer
or winter. A treatment which has
stood the test of experience is this:
First wash the floor well and let Ii
dry. Then go over 1t with a cloth
dipped from time to time in kerosene
oil. which both cleanses and pene-
trates the floor so that less of the
boiled oil is required. The boiled oil
finish should then be prepared. To make
this, take two quarts of boiled linseed
oil. put beeswax the size of half an
egg and boil together until melted and
thoroughly mixed. Care should be
taken in doing this. as both materials
are infiammable. While the oil is still
warm apply with a wide paint brush.
1t is much easier than keeping up a
wax polish.
