on, as the fishing which has been
wretchedly poor all along the coast,
is improving. Afew struggling mack
erel are being caught along the differ
ent beach wharfs, with a few king
fish bass, tom cod and sculpin. 1t IS
the surf and yellowfin that are inter
esting the anglers the most of the
present time. These fish have peeh
caught for the last week or ten days,
but one have yet begun to run in
great numbers.
The largest catch in surf fin last
week was caught by f. B. Gaul Of
Newport, that weighed between six
and seven pounds.
Several strings of small fish have
been caught That the big suckers are
around was shown Wednesday evening
when AL Dixon of Los Angeles, caught
eight of them in his net, while making
a haul for bait. On account of being
illegal to catch surf fish in any way
except with rod and reel, they We're
turned back into the water.
No fishing for the luscious trout

til May 1, except in case Of steelhead.
Deputy Robinson is giving out the an
nual spring dose of advice to anglers
who are inclined to err where the 1sh-
ing season is concerned. The gum
boot men must not crab the little fishes
in the brook until the time is ripe.
Deputy Robinson says that this year
the law will be strictly enforced in this
county in regard to the size and limit.
A close watch of the streams will be
kept during the season and any person
caught with a trout under five inches
in length, or more than nifty trout
will feel the gentle shoulder of the
law upon him.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR HOLD

State Crops Far Below Average.

State Crops Far Below Average.
Farm crops in Wisconsin have
been so badly damaged by the
lack of rain that their condition
ranges from 81 to IS per cent of the
average for this time of the year, ac-
cording to the monthly report issued
by Secretary John NJ True OF the
state board of agriculture
Unless general rain comes soon,
the crop situation viii become much
more serious, Secretary True believes
His report is as follows, being based
on returns received.
There was no general rain during
the month Of July. There were, how
ever, slight showers in most parts of
the state that have saved growing
crops from complete destruction. Pas
lures have suffered most, and are now
furnishing little feed for stock, this
shortage being supplied by feeding Of
hay and grain feeds.
Enough thrashing of grain has been
done to show that the yield of wheat,
rye and barley will not fall far below
the normal yield. Oats, though mate
rally injured upon sandy or dry land,
will furnish better yield than was
anticipated on the last report
Corn planted upon good, fertile
fields, and well cultivated, has shown
remarkable degree of vitality, and
with general rain now would make a
fair crop.
Early potatoes are small, and the
yield is light. Later potatoes are al
ready suffering from want of rain,
and the crop will be materially short
ened even if rain comes soon.
Early planted tobacco is poisoning
without a desirable growth of leaf.
while the late planted is still small
and not promising.
Sugar beets are doing fairly well,
though making slow growth.
The following percentages of condi-
ton of crops is reported by CORE
spondents:

Says SEEMING VIII Not Destroy Carp.

Says SEEMING VIII Not Destroy Carp.
Prof George Wagner of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, an acknowledged
expert on everything that relates to
fish life, states that in his opinion
ten years of SEEMING in the lakes of
Madison would fail to make any APP
preciable difference in the supply of
carp. Capt G. w. Rickeman, state
game warden, insists that constant
seining soon will exterminate the
large carp and in time will reduce to
a minimum the number of these fish
in the lakes and streams around Mad
ison. He also insists that the carp
do more harm to game fish than pos
sibly can be done by the use of large
zines. Prof. Wagner, in polite way,
intimates that Mr. Rickeman does not
know what he is talking about.
In my opinion you could seine
these lakes for the next ten years
and fail to make an appreciable i'm
preston upon the number of carp"
declared Prof Wagner
In the majority Of cases all the fish
that are caught in carp seine die of
injuries" declared the university ex-
pert. You can imagine how much
chance a game fish would have in a
drove of fighting carp. When a single
scale is bruised a fungus growth de-
velops and causes death. 1t does not
take much to tear the gill of a pick
erel or pike and an injury of this
kind is almost certain to prove fatal.
Pickerel and pike are particularly
sensitive Bass can stand little more"

He waited. to study his ground a
little, and he glanced at Leighton, as
though to make sure that the young
man had not deserted him.
Father is a little forgetful some
times, said Zelda. He isn't a young
man, you must remember" The sym
pathy with which she spoke made
Merriam uncomfortable; and Leighton
moved uneasily. It was not a pleas
ant task-that of telling young wom-
an that her father was a rascal.
But while the order of court can be
procured and injury to the purchaser
prevented, there is another side Of the
matter that we must consider"
Yes, uncle"-and she smiled a little
forlorniy. She knew that she should
meet the blow bravely when 1t fell:
but 1t hurt her now to feel her uncle's
kindness.
1t hurts me-Zelda, 1t hurts me
more than l can tell you, to have TO
say that all Is not quite clear about
this transaction. Your father has sold
at an extraordinary price. l fear that

matter you have your remedy. 1t Is of

you If I can"
You are very kind; you are always
good to me, Uncle Rodney"
Inc failure to get the courts ap-
prevail OF the sale of the real estate
makes 1t possible for US to save it
this one piece, maybe, though nearly
all the rest is gone-to get 1t back, per-
haps. The situation Is not agreeable.
Your father received the money and I
am afraid he has made III use of it.
But we may find it possible to set this
sale aside, or get an additional sum
from the purchaser"
Merriam was looking intently at the
floor as he spoke these sentences. He
was suddenly aware that Zelda had
risen and crossed the room until she
stood before him, with flaming cheeks
and flashing eyes. He unconsciousIy
rose and drew away from her. 1t SEEM
ed to Leighton that the air IN the room
grew tense. The girl stood between
the two men, her lips parted one hand
on the back Of a chair
Uncle Rodney, never thought that
you would-insult me-in your own
house-under the pretense of kind
ness! l should like to know what you
gentlemen mean. and what you think 1
am-that l should listen to such things
from you! To think that l should be

erty; and he gave me the money-do

THE WIND AND OUR NERVES
Why the Cool, Pure Northwest
Breezes Are More lnvigorating
Than Those From the East.

The east winds hug the earth more
closely and gather moisture, dust and
bacteria. They are cold and humid.
altogether forming an enervating In
fiuence on human and animal life and
rendering 1t susceptible to the dis
ease germs which the winds carry
and disseminate.
The cool, pure northwest winds
come from region of dry, highly
electrified air where ozone exists in
comparatively large quantities. They
are invigorating. The framework Of
nerves in the human being is like
delicate electrical apparatus, the
nerves being the wires and the brain
and ganglia receiving and distribut-
Ing centers.
Every one knows that a telephone
works better on clear. dry day than
on a wet, muggy one. The moist at
mosphere lessons vitality. The nerve
wires grow fiaccid and heavy. The
messages become confused. Hence
