ANNUAL OUTING
HISTORICAL FOLK

The annual trip of the Sank County
Historical society this year was made
up the Baraboo river on Monday to the
Hook place, Riverside!ahow owned by
A. Dixon. Launches owned by w. H.
McFetridge and by E. K. Nickels and
Lester Daniels carried the members
and friends up stream with bracing
breeze and azure skies as accompani-
ments. AS to singing birds, nodding
flowers and ideal weather conditions,
June never moulded a more perfect
day.
Music was furnished on an Edison
machine by Melzl & Mccain and the
tables at luncheon time were spread
beneath the trees. After the menu
w. H. McFetridge of the state park
board told of the historic places on the
Baraboo river. He mentioned the differ
ent water powers, when the stream was
first harnessed, the old mills that have
long since gone and the difficulties the
stream met in the days of the glacial
epoch. The interesting story of the
river was given recently by Mr.. Nc
Fetridge in a series of articles in this
paper.

In Interest of Wild Life.

E. A. Cleasby of Portage, who is
with the United States government in
enforcing the federal laws in the pro-
lection of wild life, gave an intensely
interesting and instructive address on
some of the problems III his field of la
Dor. Last spring the state game war
den of Iowa thought the people of his
state might shoot the migrating birds
in defiance of Uncle Sam. Mr.. Cleasby
was one of the number sent to Iowa to
protect the birds from slaughter. The
game warden of Iowa retreated.
Mr. Cleasby told of the vanishing
wild life, of the efforts being made to
save the birds, of the work birds do
and of the economic value they render
the human family. The wild pigeon and
a number of other species within the
memory of man have been destroyed
and gone forever. Unless good work
is done and done today other birds will
go. Mr. Cleasby told of the enormous
quantities of insects, insect eggs and
weed seed the birds devour every day
and year. Were it not for these
feathered visitors the trees would soon
be denuded, the meadows would become
barren and man would find this desc
late earth. Insects multiply rapidly
and the birds are a great factor in
keeping an even balance in nature.

WASHINGTON, Nov. with all
this talk about Walter Johnson flop

fellow decide to try change OF

one year ago this fall, or to be
correct few days after the close
of the 1918 season, Griffith signed up
Johnson to a contract, the total COM
pensation named in the instrument
being $4,000.
II was clearly stipulated in the
contract that in return for $2'2oO OF
this sum, Cviz $4,000 Johnson sofa
an option on his services TO the
Washington club for the season OF
1915, agreeing to sign another con-
tract calling for the same amount OF
an increase, leaving that question IN
the hands Of Clark Griffith.
The balance of S6,750 was paid him
for his work as a pitcher. He i'm
ished the terms Of this contract on
October 10 and was paid in full.
The American league attorneys are
confident that this clause Will stand

that any player who accepted tull

is legally obligated to do business
first with the club he played with in
1914.
