a high-grade automatic gas generator
can be turned on and off desired until
the carbide is all consumed. This makes
it unnecessary to open and recharge the
generator every time one is out after
dark. The only qualification is that the
tank is likely TO need refilling. owing to
part of the water having been forced out
by Regeneration, il the generator is
of the type having gas valves which are
shut off to stop generation. With gem
orators of this type it is handy to carry
around small quantity of water. just

empty salad-oil can holding one or two
quarts is convenient for this purpose.

Miss Mollie Case was absent from
school Wednesday, due to illness.
The interest in the coming play is in
creasing. Rehearsals are being held reg
ularly, and the members promise that
this will be one of the best High School
plays ever given in L'Anse.
The Seniors have practically arranged
for nearly everything connected with
Commencement, The Class pins are of
gold in the shape of a coin; on this coin
is triangle, and in this triangle are
the figures '09. Around the triangle are
the letters, IL. H. S." The invitations
have been selected and are very tasty.
The Class colors. are yellow and blue,
and the motto is:-
Tonight we launch;
Where shall we anchor?"
DR.. Abrams, Of Dollar Bay, was a
High School visitor Tuesday and at
pm. he gave very interesting talk on
The Making Of q Man." Some of the
topics Of his subject were: ~ Don't
shirk;(2) Don't foul;(9 Don't whine;
(DNever recognize defeat. Mr.. Abrams
incidentally remarked that the first he
ever heard Of L'Anse was through the
basket ball team.

That the opening Of the trout fishing
season on April Is, instead Of May
is an injustice to the anglers Of the up.
per peninsula is believed to have been
plainly demonstrated this year. The
trout season in Michigan, which in.
cludes the upper peninsula opened Thurs
day, April 15, or nearly two weeks ago,
and practically speaking, no trout have
been caught in the region SO far.
Local fishermen who have gone into
the woods to try their luck have return
ed home disgusted. The woods are still
filled with snow, while the streams and
lakes are 30 high that fishing IL out Of
the question. It il possible . few trout
were caught, but those who were 30
fortunate have refrained from making
good luck known. What is more, the at
mospheric conditions have been such
a. to warrant spending Sunday at
home beside coal fire, instead Of be-
side q camp fire along the bank Of some
stream or lake.
It will be remembered that local an
glers worked hard for months before
the opening Of the trout season in an
endeavor to have the opening of the
season, at least for the upper peninsu-
Ia, set back two weeks, making it May
/. as it originally was. Even the first
of May, it is argued, is early for trout
fishing but that date would be heap
more satisfactory than April Is.
The argument is made in the lower
peninsula that when the season opens
May it does not give the anglers
enough fishing, as the spawning season
soon sets in with the advent of warm
weather. UP here the conditions, how
ever, are entirely different than in the
lower part of the state, and there is a
general feeling that in this respect spec
ial legislation should be enacted. Time
was when there were differences in the
game laws with reference to the two
peninsulas and from what can be learn
ed the plan worked very satisfactorily.
} During this year the local fishermen
will likely get together in an endeavor
to secure concerted action before the
next legislature which will result in the
changing of the date for the opening of
the trout season so far as the upper
peninsula is concerned. It is felt the
grievance is one which should receive
proper attention, and to this end no ef-
forts will be wanted TO bring about the
desired result.

that Mrs. Anna Mitchell had answered
the final summons, at her late home at
the M. E. Mission, Sunday, at 6 pm.

was known in this village by many,
who are greatly grieved that she should
be called from this earth.
She leaves husband. and child, one
