Game Laws Are Openly
Violated at Our Very
Doors.
$50 FOR EACH CONVICTION
Citizen Comes Forward
With Emphasis to Pro-
teCt Tinid Animals.

To the Editor: The item in recent
issue of your paper mentioning the
finding of the carcass of a deer on the
Devils Lake bluffs calls for more than
passing notice. l was disappointed
that you should have made no COM
nent deploring the shooting of deer,
DOT only in violation of the law bat
almost at our very doors.
When one considers the significance
of finding a second deer this season,
both of them probably shot, it is in
deed deplorable. Since two deer have
actually been found dead it means
that there has been much shooting-it
is not reasonable to suppose other wise
It means also that in all probability
more have been killed. 1t is not in
any way presumable that these two
have been the only ones shot at or the
only ones killed. 1t is also probable
that others have been wounded.
Every hunter knows that during
the open season when deer hunting is
allowed las it never is in Sauk coun-
ty) that there are hundreds of shots
fred to one deer killed id that prof.
ably of all the deer shot half at least
get away and of these large number
do net survive their wounds.
A number of years ago the legisla-
lature made the closed season perpetu-
al in Sauk county. At that time the
deer were rapidly disappearing. Since
then they have begun to increase, not
very rapidly, and there are not very
many on our bluffs now, not so many
as there may appear to some. The
reason why it appears to some that
they are now so plentiful is because
they are becoming tame. The deer
are beginning TO have faith that they
are not going to be shot. They are
seen in the open more often. Man is
be >ming less of dread enemy end
more as friend.
To shoot one now here in Sauk coun-
and either on or close to the state
park lands is far more than legal of
fense. 1t is a wanton, cowardly
crime, deserving the severest punish
ment.
The state through its game wardens
should prevent the molesting or shoot
ing of deer, but it can not do so with
out the backing of public sentiment.
Any law is dead letter if not backed
up by the people.
It is everyone's duty who has care
for the protection of these deer right
here within few miles us, little
surviving band, isolated in one wild
spot, surrounded and cut off from es
cal e by towns and cities and Guilt
waited lands, the furthest from the
great north woods and the closest to
the great cities of any deerin this state
it is everyone's duty to raise his
voice for their protection.
To that end / will offer reward of
$50 for information leading to the ar-
rest and conviction of the person or
persons who shot or shoot at these deer.
[ will make the same offer Of reward
for past or future violations of the
deer laws fer Sauk county.
I plead with all interested in the
protection Of these deer to aid in their
protection. The reward which 1 offer
is not large enough and I ask that
others join with me and make it
larger.
Sincerely Yours,
w. III. McEETRIDGE.

WILL Be SOME APRON
Big Improvement Being
Made on Kill
bourn Dam.

Work has begun on the extention of
the apron to the dam at Kilbourn.
While the dam stood the unp1eceden
ed strain of the big flood without a
culver, it is thought best to extend
the apron, or Grin work below the dam.
An additional row of Grips b
placed below the present work, filled
with concrete, and the whole work
covered with concrete. 1t will take
about three months TO complete the
job and will employ 25 or 80 men.
The work is in charge Of r. S. Lander,
civil engineer in the employ of the
Southern Wisconsin Power Co.

SYNOPSIS.

James Wilson or Jimmy he is called
by his friends. Jimmy was rotund and
looked shorter than he really was. His
ambition in life was to be taken seriously,
but people steadily refused to do so, his
art Is considered a huge joke, except to
himself. If he asked people to dinner ev-
eryone expected a frolic. Jimmy marries
Bella Knowles; they live together a year
and are divorced. Jimmy's friends ar
range to celebrate the first anniversary
Of his divorce. Those who attend the
party are Miss Katherine McNair, who
every one calls Kit, Mr.. and Mrs. Dallas
Brown, the Misses Mercer, Maxwell Reed
and Mr.. Thomas HARRISON, a South
American civil engineer. The party is in
full swing when Jimmy receives tele-
rive in four hours to visit him and his
wife. Jimmy gets his funds from Aunt
Selma and after he marries she doubles
his allowance. He neglects to tell her Of
his divorce, as she is opposed to 1t. JIM
my takes Kit into his confidence, he tries
to devise some way so that his aunt will
not learn that he has no longer a wife.
He suggests that Kit play the hostess for
one night, be Mrs. Wilson pro tenn. Kit
refuses, but Is finely prevailed upon to
act the part Aunt Selma arrives and the
deception works out as planned, as she
had never seen Jim's wife. Jim's Jap

me of the wonderful help she had received

me one of your pamphlets which I read

taking half a bottle I felt better. Have

Mr.. HARRISON came up the stairs again

Why, the man wouldn't expect me to

"I'll go down and see them off," I
finished lamely, and we went together
down the stairs.
Just for the moment 1 forgot Bella
altogether. I found Aunt Selma
bonneted and cloaked, taking a stirrup
cup of Pomona for her nerves, and the
rest throwing on their wraps in hur-
ry. Downstairs Max was telephoning
for his car, which wasn't due for an
hour, and Jim was walking up and
down, swearing under his breath.

them all, and of going home comfort

ed affair, I cheered UP quite lot

Dallas told me, aside, that 1 was a

was mailing something to the door,

Transaction In Stamps.

The stamp vending machines in
stalled in many stores and shops about
the city are not favored by a woman
who hurried into drug store in Mas
sachusetts avenue several days ago
where there is branch post Office.
How do you sell your two-cent
stamps?" she inquired Indignantly.
1.-TWO cents apiece" replied Bassett.
"Well, that's all right" she replied,
while she fished in her purse for a
coin. "This is the fifth place 1 have
visited after stamps. At all the other
places they had those slot machines
where you have to spend a nickel for
two two-cent stamps. 1 made up my
mind not to be held up if 1 had to
walk all over the city. Give me two
stamps"
The woman laid down a dime and
hurried out wiSh two two-cent stamps,
leaving six cents in change lying on
the show case. She did not return

to look at me.

top step outside, and l saw him get

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

Of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since 1 can remember we had
used coffee three times day. 1t had
more or less injurious effect upon
us all, and l myself suffered almost
death from indigestion and nervous
ness caused by it.

give it up, even though I realized how
harmful it was to me.
"At last I found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago I abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and 1 also in

the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink it freely as they do
water. And it has done us all great
good.
