WESTPORT SERIOUS HAND TO HAND
 FIGHT SATURDAY NOON
Especial to The Farmer)

Westport April 9-As result of fistic encounter between Theodore Coulter and James Ghiotto, in a gar age Saturday morning, Coulter's face looks some the worse for wear. The trouble has been brewing for smoe time and was first started by COul- ter getting mixed up with Ghiotto's family affairs. Ghiotto resents any one putting into his private home life and has been laying for the chance to get after young Coulter for some time The opportunity offered itself Saturday morning when the two men met in a garage. Ghiotto is some artist with the use of his fists and by the time he finished Coulter look ed as if her had been the business end of a grist mill. Having given the man all he cared to. at the time. Ghiotto told him to come around again when he got over the effects of that one and get some more. as he had it coming to him." It is rather doubtful if Coulter will look for the rest of what's coming to him. No arrests have been made in the matter and it is probable that Coul- ter will take his medicine and let the matter drop, without oiring it before the court

Clear Lake. June let is highly
probable that within year the Odd
Fellows of Iowa will have what may
be styled community building here in
Clear Lake. The movement is now on
and while but little Of the detail is
known, it can be said that the idea
originated in the Uniform rank. A
committee was appointed and the stu
ation will be thoroughly canvassed. 1t
will be remembered that a short time
ago the knights of Columbus took up
a movement very similar.
1t was presented to the state meeting
held at Sioux City. but no definite ac-
ton was taken, the matter being held
over allowing other localities to get
into the running if they so desired.
The idea is to present the matter at
the next meeting Of the Iowa grand
lodge. There is hardly any probability
of. the location going away from Clear
Lake. Sites at lakewood Park. Bay
side, Dodge's Point and on East Lake
We're looked over carefully and all af-
for6 excellent sites for such build
ing as proposed.
The idea is to build a large building
to cost between $4,000 and $4,000 and
this is TO be fitted up in rooms which
will be furnished. and Odd Fellows
from this state or any other desiring
to enjoy an outing could come to room
furnished and running q dining hall
on the community plan they would
have everything they might desire. The
sites at lakewood and Bayside were
particularly favorable and doubtless
ono or the other Of these locations will
be presented at the meeting Of the
grand lodge.

Clear Lake, June 19.-Since the
meeting of STATE Game Warden Lin
coin, Of Cedar Rapids. with a half
dozen Of his deputies in this city few
days ago, the carp condition has been
made systematic study. and quite "a
revelation, even to old fishermen. has
been made. A test was made of the
spawn. A twenty-five pound carp was
caught and the spawn removed care
fully and weighed and revealed the
fact that 1t weighed a full seven
pounds. An eleven pound carp was
then tested and 1t had four pounds Of
spawn. Those who are not acquainted
with spawn will be surprised to learn
that in the larger carp was thousands,
II not a million Of carp. This is the
reason why these fish are so rapidly
multiplying in all the lakes and rivers
in this locality. And beside multiplying
80 rapidly they live. during the spawn
ing month Of game fish. largely on
spawn. 1t was decided by this con-
ference Of game officials to wage un-
relenting onslaught against tho carp In

was made by Henry Kastner. who Is a
practical fish man, and Is accurate In
what he undertakes.
