MILLIONS OF FISH ARE DYING
Unprecedented Low Water Has Drained
Many Lakes and SIoaehs

The stsge of water in the Mississippi
has reached 20 feet, the lowest re-
corded in the history of the govern
ment statistics here. says the Prairie
du Chen Press.
Fish of all varieties are dying by the
millions in the lakes and bayous where
the water is drying out entirely or SO
shallow that the heat has literally
cooked the spawn and young fish. This
condition, on small scale exists most
every summer after the June floods
which fills the lakes and sloughs and
after the water recedes cut off way
TO deeper water, but this year the stu
alton is changed; we have had no June
rise, and at the present no prospects.
Fisherman look with alarm upon the
condition and in many cases, they have
seined out the shallow lakes and dumped
the young into the deep water of the
channel to scamper off and grow as ma
ture intended. Every year the fisher
men .iave appealed to the game warden
depar ,ment of the state but with
few exceptions the appeals have gone
unheeded

The OLD WINDMILL

Written for the Censor
Oh. old windmill at the foot of the hill.
Oh. dear to the heart o mel
Take no heed O the time but give me the rime.
The song o your wood wheel again.
Give me the tune Of the long afternoon
In old summers dreamy warm splendor.
With its rattle and whir and its riot and purr
And the ehug O. the fresh drawn water.
Oil cool to the lips were the long-drawn sips.
oh childhood come hack to mel
While the old apple tree shook its leaves hush
lingly.
And dove lullabied from the loft.
In spring blossoms sifted and then gently drift
led.
Into the trickling old trough
And the shifting trees shade on the glossy
Lgrass made
A cool couch for a dreamer to dream.
Then dreamed of such things as the summer
wind brings.
With an ache for the sorrows it whispered.
While lingering old bee made his way hum
Imingly
Among the red and white clover.
And when time ehbed away and out passed the
Gday.
1t left the serene after-giow;
With hoofs all alack the cattle came back
To drink Of the trongh's pleasant water.
oh, childhood that dreams. oh. ehildhood that
Iseems
Like memory of another.
Ny tears win keep falling for it seems the
Emills calling
Come back. your childhood stin lives.
And I'm sick of roarins and sure must be
Ihoming.
Ny eyes are iast tired for home things.
must see the old mill for its dear old song still
Keeps ringing and singing TO me.

OBSERVERS FUN AND SENTIMENT
Some Pleasant Catches That are Ex.
pressive

/ believe that the first test of truly
great man is his humility. | do not
mean by humility a doubt of his
own power or hesitation in speaking
his opinions, but right understanding
of all the relations between whit he
can do and say and the rest of the
worlds sayings and doings. All great
men not only knew their business, but
usually know that they know it, only
they do not think any better of them
selves on that account. John Ruskin.
This world is full of ungrateful men.
Recently at Springfield, Illinois, the
made principle in damage suit for
about one of his flock, wealthy farm
err. He asked God to make him
better man and to cause him to stop
backbiting and make him pay his
debts. The farmer said he didn't be-
lieve it was'a preachers place to in
woke the aid of deity in helping him
discharge his financial obligations and
he strenuously objected to being styled
a backbiter and tight wad in the eyes
of God
1t is said that in this world there are
ten parts of sorrow 20 one part of joy.
1t is not fair proportion. Fun is bet
ter than physic and more pleasant to
take says the philosopher. We firmly
believe that beyond the grave we shall
have more joy, more fun, more laugh
ter than sorrow. Good humor season
ably applied will dispelI the dullest
care. 1t is said to be the principle en-
CINE by which physicians batter down
the walls of melancholy. Laugh and
grow fat. The person that laughs
cheats his doctor.
The most essential thing for the pro-
gress of any community or city is for
the people of that community to get
together. Many of the misunderstand-
ings between individuals would be pre-
vented if they would get together and
discuss matters in a friendly spirit.
People of intelligence are likely to have
pronounced views upon important ques-
sions and these opinions may differ ma
terially in the minor details, yet in
the main have the same object inview.
It is by remaining apart and taking it
for granted that the other fellow is OPP
posed TO you that antagonism is engen-
dered and concerted action prevented.
We find that we like peple better when
we know them better, that is il they
are worth knowing. No community
can progress so long as there exists
spirit of suspicion or jealousy among
among the people. Every man will
find it worth while to meet his fellow
man and talk over the needs of the com
munity. 1t will not only help the con-
dition of the community but it will make
him feel better toward his fellow man
and give him an opportunity to get
more out of life.
