PROTECTION FOR !
FROGS IS DECREE
ASSEMBLY PASSES THE SPOOR
BILL PROVIDING FOR A
CLOSED SEASON.
AUTHOR IN ELOQUENT PLEA
Green Lake County Assemb lyman
Calls Attention 10 the Wholesale
Slaughter Going On to Provide
Oelicacy for Commands Tal>les.

Madison. -Assemblyman Spoor OF
Green Lake county is probably the
first lawmaker to grow eloquent over
the humble but active frog. That
Mr.. Spoor was convincing as well was
evinced by the applause given him
by his fellow legislators when he con-
Guided and the unanimous vote for
his bill which followed
Mr.. Spoons bill providing for a
closed season for frogs from Nov. !
until June /, following was up for
engrossment, and there was shown
some disposition to have sport with
the bill.
IF this bill referred to the frogs
in your throat, said Mr.. Spoor, sit
might be trihed with. But the fact
that there are being shipped out of
this state five carloads year OF
frogs legs, and that all in the mid
die of winter, makes serious sub
iect of it.
only last week | found that T.
400 pounds of frog legs had been
shipped from Berlin in five days.
Two men took twenty-five gunny-
sacks full Of frogs from one spring
hole in by county a few days ago.
And this is not all. The brutal meth
DDS pursued in preparing for the
market OF frogs is to be considered.
You should see, as | have, men with
large shears cutting live frogs in two
by the thousands. throwing the front
half on the floor to struggle until
they die.
THE frog has nothing harmful
about him: on the contrary he pur-
ifies the waters of our streams and
ponds by the vegetable matter aid
insect eggs he consumes. Because
the frogs are being annihilated we
are compelled to use offensive oils
and poisons on our ponds to destroy
the mosquitoes
I'VE foolishly allowed the passen-
ger pigeon to be ruthessly destroyed
ia this country. Shall We permit the
same wanton destruction of the
frogs?"
