HOW TO USE THE GUIDE

esting Letter on How &c
Enjoy Yourself With a Coco
Guide in Northern Wiscon
sin.
To THE EDITOR OF THE EILAs
COUNTY News:
With the lengthening of the
days and the passing Of the be
low zero weather-of which we
all had a plenty-mv thoughts
turn TO old north Wisconsin and
the many pleasant days / have
spent up there And with your
permission I am going to express
a few thoughts which have come
to me in regard of how to make
the most of ones opportunity
with Ed. Lacau and the other
guides to be found at the North
ern Wisconsin resorts.
The majority of sportsmen,
and this includes the ladies, who
visit Eagle River each year in
quest of game or recreation. are
more or less dependent on their
guide, who by some is now
considered a companion, BY
others a necessity, and BY a great
many as a beast of burden.
First, | wish to say that the
guide" is human. He appreci-
ates the true sport" and thoro-
~ dislikes the tin horn The
true sport" is the man who is
always considerate of his guide
and tries to look pleasant when
he has had a bad days fishing or
hunting, and sees something to
cheer him up instead of cussin''
while the "tin horn sport" will
lay everything to the poor guide
and will make life for him a bur
den.
If you will use your guide as a
friend he will nothing updone
to make your trip pleasure. He
will go out of his way at every
to show YOU the
best the country affords in the
way of sport. will be considerable
of your welfare, will do his pref
test along the cooking line, and
will try to make your trip one
round of pleasure, while the Other
sport will get his. only in differ
ent way. His guide will do only
Just what he is compelled to do,
as little as possible and that
gfudgingly, and instead Of trying
to prolong the trip, he will cut it
short hoping that his next sport
will be different.
The true spo t" whether hunt
ing or fishing will leave pretty
nearly everything to his guide.
He is a stranger to the woods
AMI streams, and will not pre-
sumo to tell his guide how to,
handle the boat through the
lakes or streams, nor will he
want to hunt a swamp when the
guide says a ridge. The other
sport will want to take charge Of
the boat when he had better be
ashore and will also want to die
tate the details of the hunt.
Brother sportsman, leave it to
the guide. Ifh is a good one
and most Of them are--he will
not attempt to cross the lake I'M
less he is sure 1t is safe, and his
Judgment in the hunt is usually
superior to yours. Don't make
him think that because you are
employing him by the week that
you own his body and soul for
this is detrimcnts to your inter
est and the trip in general. There

A party of ladies drove down
to Three Lakes Saturday after
noon and took six o'clock dinner
at the H. Korzil1us resort. The
trip was full of incidents such as
only party of ladies can create,
and the return ride in the even
ing was replete with all the
pleasures attendant upon any
sleIghing party. Roller skating
formed the amusement at the
Korzilius hall. please note we
mention no names Roller skat-
ing, or rather attempts at it,
coupled with the names of the
participants, might be the source
OF much amusement to those
who as yet do not know who
were present.

AN EXPERIMENT WITH COTTON

An experiment which Governor
Brown is conducting on his Cherokee
county farm may result in a largely
increased yield of cotton per acre.
Like many of the best things for the
promotion of agriculture it was sug-
gested by a natural demonstration.
A Macon county farmer had his cot
ton stripped of foliage and the plants
beaten into the ground by a hail
storm. Unlike his neighbors, he did
not pillow the cotton up and plant
again, and was surprised that the
yield from his field was doubled. The
theory is that the amount of plant
food going into the foliage is devot-
ed to the lint when the foliage is les
sened.
Governor Brown is having some of
the leaves sheared from portion of
his cotton and will carefully note the
result. The theory is practically the
same as topping" the cotton plant
and "suckering' corn. The probable
ity is that the yield will be increased
if the shearing is done judiciously,
the problem being to let sufficient
leaves remain to supply the neces-
sary oxygen to the plant. That a
hail storm often increases the yield
instead of injuring a cotton crop was
demonstrated in South Georgia last
year. Many which were thought
ruined produced OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

THE FLYNN-JOHNSCN FIGHT
(By Albertus Vogt.)

Lakeland, Fla, June 6, Il, 1912.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
On June 2Sth. 1910, just seven days
before the Reno ''frame-up," there APP
peared in the columns of the Times
Union, Il Told You Sol"
| am handing to you this prose
poor-em on what is in the stars for
July 4th next:
There's never been a fight so great
but some day, soon or late, he went
I'D against the hand of fate and went
down with a broken pate. There's
never been a black sig moke, >
though made by coal or a niger
"bloke," but a white mans wit has
found a way to put it out most any
day. And big Jim Flynn, the white
mans hope, on July 4th will hand the
dope" to boasting black buck, Jack
Johnson, that'n put him out and keep
him down.
Did YOU slant" how sudden Jack
Johnson left his pet Chicago cafe and
hied himself to his training camps
when it leaked out what Jim Flynn
was doing, and who was teaching him
how to do it.
The "big moke" was then, and Is
still, stared, good and plenty.
This good and beautiful world is
sometimes a beautiful country. There
is Rats-bone, Hans-bone and Kil-bone
The latter is the dope" limit. The
"pisen", he handed out about jim
Flynn is enough to make babboor
grin.
Inside of fifteen rounds on july
4tr it will be Champion Jim Flynn

GOOD WISHES TO THE S. A. L

1t is gratifying to know that the
Seaboard Air Line railway has re-
gained its financial independence and
is to enter upon a new era of devel'
opment and prosperity. The Sea-
board is distinctly a southern sys-
tenn. 1t has contributed notably to
the sections development, and, by
it's enterprise and public spirit, has
earned the peoples heartiest good
will.
Mr.. S. Davies Warfield, whose con-
nection with the road dates back to
it's establishment, has become its ex-
ecutive head. He announces that
henceforth the south's position in its
affairs will be emphasized and that
its financial resources are such as to
assure it's upbuilding with resultant
benefits both to the territory it
serves and to its security holders"
The system enters it's new regime
with the public's cordial wish that it
will speed forward in usefulness and

ANOTHER TRIUMPH OF. SURGERY

Every weeks adds TO the triumphs
of modern surgery. One of the lat
est is Esther Harris, whose neck was
broken by a fall of six floors down
an elevator shaft in the Triangle fire
in New York last year She was res
cued from the dead wagon as it start
ed to the morgue, and for fourteen
weeks lay unconscious, l.nally being
sent home to die The fourth and
fifth cervical vertebrae had been
fractured, the breaking of either be-
ing considered fatal, and the patient
could not move a finger or help her
self in any way. On the bare hope
that she might be helped, Miss Har-
ris was carried to the hospital for
deformities and joint diseases, and a
method often used in less serious cas-
es, but never before in total disabil-
ity, was tried. Miss Harris can now
stand and walk unassisted and ex-
poets to go home in a month. Her
case is all the more remarkable be-
cause it establishes precedent.
Heretofore it had been considered
certain thta when a fracture of the
spinal column did not prove fatal a
complete paralysis was unavoide BILE.

NEWlY-WEDs LOCKED TocETH.
Err WITH CHAINS

"A special from Seaford, Del. saws
that hauled about the town in a hay.
wagon, while hundreds of friends
pelted and showered confetti upon
them, Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin II Clark
Jr-, who were married at high noon
Monday In the Bridgeville Methodist
Episcopal church, were carried to the
depot, only to meet the climax of
pranks.
Just as the train was coming in
the crowd sang, "Blest Be the Tie
That Binds" and bound the counle
tightly together with heavy timber
chains. These were secured with a
large paddock and the key thrown
away. Unable to free themselves
from the predicament the newly
weds were carried into the Pullman
and were obliged to occupy one chair.
Hundreds of friends who had come
from all parts of Delaware, Maryland
and Pennsylvania to witness the af-
fair were in it to the last, and the
serenade was one of the most siren
uous imaginable, the bride being
nearly at the point of collapsing
when carried on the train.
A dispatch received from Whining
ton states that the tie was strong
and the honeymoon was delayed for
over an hour in that city in order to
have the "binds" broken by a me-
chanic.

A SOCIALIST MEMBER

II Walton county is not represent
ed in the next legislature by a social
list it will be because some very act
i've work is done between now and
November by the democrats. Mr..
Van Axelson has a very strong fol-
lowing among the farmers of the
county by reason of his active work
in the Farmers Union, and while an
avowed socialist, is not nearly so
radical in many of his views and ex-
pressions as is Mr.. Mapoles, is a good
campaigner, and it is understood that
he will make an active campaign for
the position to which he has been
nominated. The socialists have been
gaining strength rapidly in this coun-
ty in the last few years, much more
rapidly than many people are aware
of, and it is time right now for the
democrats to get busy unless they
wish to see the nominee of the pri.
mary for this position defeater. From
the fact thta the socialists of the
county, almost without exception,
voted in the primary, and if our in
formation is correct, voted for Ma
poles, it is not altogether improbable
that the democratic party in this
county has been handed neatly tied
package, artistically done up by some
very shrewd political manipulators
headed by a man whose front name is
Eric.-DeFuniak Breeze.

THE WATERMAN TRIAL DRAW
ING TO A CLOSE
From Saturdays Daily:

| FROM saturdays DAILY:
The examination of all the witness
es in the Waterman trial was not
concluded until $50 o'clock Friday
afternoon.
| 1t was believed at one time that all
the evidence would be finished by IL
o'clock, and that the case would be
submitted to the jury upon the adj
journment of the court in the after
noon, but several additional witness
es were called in rebuttal of certain
evidence, which prolonged the case
for several hours
| The defendant, Mr. Louis Water
man, was the last witness put upon
the stand.
He told substantially the same sto-
ry that he told at the first trial. He
was on the witness stand for quite q
long time, and told very straight
forward story, and never at any time
showed nervousness or confusion
Mr.. Waterman's long confinement
has not told upon him. His general
health is good, and he looks as well
as he did when he was first arrested.
Judge Wills ordered the court adj
journed until 1880 o'clock after Mr..
Waterman came from the witness
stand.
Upon the opening of the court at
that hour, Mr. Edwin Spencer, Jr.,
who is assisting the state in the pros
ecution of the case, opened the argu-
ment for the state.
Mr.. Spencer is one OF the honor
graduates of Stetson, won a fine rep
utation as an orator, was candidate
for the legislature before the first pri-
mary and sustained the reputation he
acquired at college and led the race
by a very fiattering vote.
Mr.. Spencer had given much study
to this case, had the evidence at his
tongues end and made most force
full, effective and telling speech. He
spoke for nearly an hour and his
friends were very proud of his effort.
Mr.. Spencer was followed by Col
onel r. A. Burford Mr.. Burford as
sisted in the case in the first trial,
was familiar with the evidence, knew
the weak and the strong points for
and against the prisoner and made
most powerful speech in his defense.
Mr.. Burford has long maintained a
splendid reputation as a speaker, and
was never more effective than he was
last night.
He used satire and pathos, and said
that the chain of evidence the state
had sought to weave around the de-
PENDANT was weak at every point and
fatally defective, and that it would
be travesty upon justice to convict
anyone upon evidence so fiimsy.
Mr. Burtord spoke for an hour and
a half His friends were very proud
of his effort
The court adjourned until o'clock
this morning, when Hon. Raymond B.
Bullock and Mr. Edw. w. Davis will
make the concluding arguments, Mr..
Bullock fer the defense and Mr.. Da-
Wis for the prosecution.

Gets A 25 Cent FEE
ON HUNTING Licenses
ISSUING THEM Is STATE JOB,
HOLDS COUNTY ATTORNEY IN
OPINION TO COMMISSIONERS.

That the county clerk is entitled to
fee of 25 cents for each hunting IL
cense issued by him Is the gist of an
opinion written by County Attorney
Pat Malloy to the board of county
commissioners. A friendly dispute
had arisen over the payment of this
fee and County Clerk Curran had
turned over to the county his com
mission. The matter was referred to
the county attorney for an opinion.
In his written opinion. the county
attorney holds that under the statue
providing for hunting licenses. 1t pro-
vides for payment of a 25-cent fee
to the county clerk for each one S.
sued by him, and as the issuing Of
these licenses is not a county duty,
but a state work, the county clerk Is
entitled to pay for It,
1t was estimated by County Clerk
Curran that his fees during the year
/ for this work would amount to Sis.
