Warden Dychc Will Not Distribute
Fish Till September Is.

The following letter from Prof. l.. L.
Dyche, of the state fish hatchery at
Pratt to Topeka friend. contains in
formation of interest to the general
public regarding drouth conditions at
the hatchery and the postpOnement OF
the distribution of fish and the reasons
therefor:
1T $ still dry in this section of the
country. No rain except little
sprinkle or two since spring. The Their
mometer gets up to 100 degrees and
above most every day. The evaporation
from the ponds is very great but as
yet. we have lost no fish. Some of the
ponds in the east part of the new
hatchery have only two or three feet
of water in them, but we have managed
to keep d small stream running in all
the time and we think we can pull
through to Christmas without a drop
of rain.
One thing that worries me more
than all others is the fact that the
water conditions of the entire state are
bad. BY sending out a number of let
tiers l have found out that there is
scarcely place in the state where il
would be safe to deliver fish. A few
of the larger streams and a few of the
larger ponds and lakes are still in con-
di:ion. but We cannot afford to take
the car out with fish and only be able
to put them in two or three places
when they ought by rights to be placed
in from 40 to go different places.
We have begun to seine some of the
ponds and sort the fish. but will not
begin to distribute before the middle
of September. and if the water condi-
items do not change we may postpone
the distribution until the first of Oc-
tobcr. At that time, we will begin to
distribute fish whether the water con-
ditions are good or not. We have so
many that it will be necessary for us
to dispose of some of them. especially
the black bass. We have young black
bass Matched this spring in the new
ponds that are from five to over six
inches in length. They are big enough
to eat now. That is they are as large
as many of the trout that are served
on tables in Colorado. Large black
bass are cannibaiS of the worst stripe.
BY cutting some of them open, We dis
covered that they had in their stom-
achs, three of their own kind that
varied in length from two to three
inches. The new ponds do not have
very much vegetation in them as vet.
This makes it possible for the canni-
balls TO prey upon the others constant
ly.
The ground under the embankments
OF great many of the new ponds is

METHODIST MISSION WOMEN
WORK OF THE LOCAL SOCIETY
THE PAST THREE MONTHS.
Has Raised $3.50 for the Various
Causes. Mrs. Carter Reports on
the District Meeting.

Has Raised $3.50 for the Various
Causes. Mrs. Carter Reports on
the District Meeting.
The Womans Missionary Society
of the Methodist church held an in
teresting meeting July 18th. After
an impressive devotional service the
following reports from the different
departments of work for the quar-
ter ending June 80 were read;
naancial-Foreign department,
$236.65; home department, $1O9.95;
young people, $3.50; junior division
and baby roll, $685.. Total, $36O.95.
Literature distributed, Ill pieces;
needy relieved, 80; visits to sick and
strangers, $50; garments distributed,
21; trays sent, 80.
These figures represent only
small part of the work being done
by the members of this auxil-
larry, for woman is giving a service
wherever there is a need. The young
people, too, have realized that God
has beautiful purpose for their
lives, and their activities have been
varied They have been here and
there bearing fragrant flowers and
cheering with loving ministrations
the shut-ins, the sorrowing and the
discouraged.
After the business session Mrs. S.
L. Carter, who represented the aux
Hilary i'll the district meeting which
convened in Leslie July 3rd, gave a
full and interesting report of the
meeting. Much interesting informal
ton was given out. Some thinking
facts of conditions in the homeland
show that the church's responsibility
and activity are increasing. We note
these items: The work that the wo-
mans society has enterprised to be
carried forward requires a knowl-
edge of twenty-six languages. The
increase of the Mormon church and
its influence is alarming. That the
the duty of the christians of our land
to the foreigner in our midst is par
alIel with seIf-interest. That the
church cannot any longer overlook
the needs of the negro.
Messages from the foreign field are
encouraging, but with these comes
the call for more laborers and more
money to advance the work.
Truly, woman's work in Dawson is
an uplifting force among her own
people, and is a factor in the church's
efforts to redeem the world. B. G.

A WORD FOR THE DANCERS
Says 1t Is as Natural for Young Folks
to Want to Sport as 1t Is for
Colts to Caper.

NOIUS 10 SdpoF'
Editor Dawson News: Christ new
err went up in an airship, never saw
or rode on a steam train, did not
teach nor preach about electrical en-
gineering no more than go to dances.
I can't dance, never could, and both
Brother Morgan and myself have
passed the age when youthful sports
appeal but if young folks want to
sport let them; it is as natural as
for colts to caper. Some dances are
doubtless dangerous-so are preach
ers-but don't go into wholesale con-
domination of one any more than an
other. Because Ellis sons were vile
and he restrained them not God did
not abolish the priesthood; no more
should we condemn innocent dances
in proper places because the under
world has them. They also have ice
in summer and fires in winter, and
so do respectable people. God, says
Paul, gave us all things richly to en-
joy. Let each enjoy his share as he
pleases so long as he or she does it
lawfully, and keep the spirit of
Christ, as protestants teach not the
letter as advocated by strict ritual
lists. ANDREW P. RIVES.
