Book Circulation
From Library Has
Increased Greatly
GAIN OF f5S PER CENT OVER MAY
OF LAST YEAR Is SHOWN
BY REPORT.

In report submitted by the librari-
an to the members of the library
board at the meeting on Thursday a
gain of l5S per cent in the circula-
tion Of books in May was shown over
that Of a year ago for the similar
month
In May 1914, there were 1859 books
read in Pendleton while this year
1925 were read. In the County
Branch Libraries last May 264 books
were read, the first branches having
just been started This month of
May 21S4 books were read in the
county branches making a total of
Ss09 volues in Pendleton and county.
1t is interesting to note that $3.50
were circulated from the central and
branch Libraries during the last six

year before the county system was
under way.
New books on child welfare and
AAbAtAH II AltNllNuS III the euuCdIlOn OIL
children have been placed on the
shelves. These books offer material
for club programs and for parent
teachers meetings.
Story Hour Planned.
The parent-teachers association of
the Hawthorne school is hoping to
make arrangements to have a play
ground day at the school each week
during the summer vacation, and has
asked to have one of the librarians
tell stories to the children at that
time. The library contribution to the
playground movement will therefore
be a story hour conducted by Miss
Miriam Delano of the library staff.
As there Is no room in the present
library quarters to hold childrens
story hour, this opportunity to encour-
age the reading Of children during the
summer will be especially welcome.

A BIT o NOTHIN'
seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee;seeee


Ralph ]. BARLEY, erstwhile
friend of Town Clerk H. B. Nc
Intvre, writes from St. Louis
that his vacation period draws
near, he being able Cor imagines
he does to smell the fragrance
of Wisconsin's one best bet-the
trailing arbutus. Anyhow Bart
lev courts the muse and gives us
a heartbreaking swan song of
how he is beguiled each summer
to the Big North Woods, catch
ing a few measely fish Chat he
could buy in any market for a
jitney a pound) at the rate of
four simoleons an ounce. He
states thusly; Il. just learned
through Mr.. Henry Ford that
Mr.. Zoe and Mr.. David Frankel
recently purchased a new Ford
car. He also suggested that
while l am fishing in your town
this summer and making trips to
the different lakes, that either
Toe or Dave demonstrate their
car by driving me around. OF
course this will be pretty soft for
me if they will do the demon
,strating as Henry suggests.

HATCHERY INTERESTING:
Entire Operation from Net
ting to Final Care of Spawn
In Hatchery is Instructive
Getting Many Fish.

To Eagle River people who
never before have had the oppor,
tunity to see the various opera
t1ons connected with a fish
hatchery, the local plant is prov
ing very interesting and instruc-
tive. Visitors are cordially vel
coined and gladly taken care OF
by the attendants who are in
charge.
The shippers are domiciled in
Ed. Lacau's houseboat anchor
ed in the thoroughfare between
Otter and Eagle lakes. From
that vantage point nets are set
in both lakes. Not MANY nets
are set, the catches so far in few
nets having been sufficient to
keep the shippers busy. When
the nets are drawn they are usu-
ally filled with all varieties of
fish but only the pike are kept.
These are turned into a box-like
raft which is towed TO the house
boat. At the houseboat the fish
are put into d net live-box called
a dummy" where they await
the shippers. From four to FIVE
hundred pike are to be seen in
the dummy after the nets have
been hauled.
About one minute is the aver
age time required by an expert
stripper to take the spawn from
a pike. After this operation the
fish are set free and the spawn is
put into trays and kept in run
ming water until taken to the
hatchery. The eggs are taken to
the hatchery on screens, each
holding about two and one-half
quarts and stacked one above the
other in a special case.
At the hatchery the eggs are
placed in large glass jars, ap-
proximately 100000 in each jar,
and are kept in constant motion
by running water. The period
of incubation varies from seven
teen to twenty days according
to the temperature of the water
which varies from hfty-hve to
sixty degrees. At the end OF that
period the current is allowed to
carry the tiny pike fry to the
tanks where they stay until large
enough for planting in the lakes.
The entire operation from net
ting to the Matched fry is highly,
interesting and educational and
shows we'll the efforts the state
of Wisconsin is making to con-
serve and propagate its supply
of game fish.

Arhutus Is Plentiful.

Large baskets of the beautiful

who live in less favored regions.
This spring the arbutus is very
abundant. The warm spring

IOWANS IN NORTH WIS.
Many Upper Wisconsin Set
Elements From That State
Influx Is Increasing.

cradle complaint that the state
is not holding its people as it
should. Possibly this is true to
some extent, but there are rea-
sons. Iowa is the most fully de-
veloped state from the stand
point Of the percentage of lands
under cultivation. 1t has been
settled So long that the boys
have to look elsewherefor farms.
Land is thought to be too dear
for those who must start with
little capital. In the past these
boys have been going west; now
they arecoming to northern Wis
consin in surprising and ipcreas-
ing numbers.
1t has been thought by many
that Iowa is not good state in
which to seek settlers for the cut
over lands of northern Wiscon-
sin, hut, second to Wisconsin,
Iowa is a great dairy and live
stock state, and when Iowans
come to know conditions in
northern Wisconsin there is no
escape from the conclusion that
we have the opportunities they
want. The campaign of publici-
ty for the development of nor
thern Wisconsin has been carried
strongly to Iowa in the last few
years and the result is only nat
ural that large numbers of people
are coming from that state to
the northern Wisconsin counties.
What is here said of Iowa APP
plies also southern Minnesota,
southern Wisconsin, northern IL
linois, portions of Indiana and
Ohio, and to the dairy districts
of the Dakotas, Nebraska and
Kansas.
The number of Iowa people
coming to northern Wisconsin
for homes at the present time is
a surprise to those who have
thought of that state as one en-
tirely of prairies and have sup
posed that people coming from
the prairies would not consider
cutover lands. There is an ele-
ment of mistake in both propo-
sitions. Much of Iowa was tim
bered, so much so that at one
time Iowa was a producer of
sawmill products. At one time
Iowa was a leader in the produc-
ton of walnut and butternut
lumber, and in a smaller way of
many other kinds of hardwoods.
Again it is not always true that
people from the prairies will not
desire cutover lands-in fact.
many of them have proved to be
the very best ofnorthern Wiscon
sin settlers. There are commun-
tiles in northern Wisconsin built
up of Iowa people.
1t is true that in the past more
Iowa people went to the west or
to Canada than to northern Wis
consin, but that is no longer the
fact, A former farmer, now liv-
ing in Milwaukee, recently went
north and bought land for a
farm, and upon his return said
that while in northern Wisconsin
he met many people in quest of
land, and that he was surprised
to learn of the number of people
who came from Iowa and Hi
nois. The newspapers of the nor
thern counties recount every
week the arrival of settlers from
Iowa and other states.
An Iowa farmer who recently
bought an improved farm in nor
thern Wisconsin at 800 per acre,
said: "The more | compare my
purchase with farms in Iowa the
better am pleased with my bar
gain. Evening Wisconsin.

Ifever there were any doubts
as to the wealth of game fish IN
the Eagle chain of lakes, the re-
suits attained by the fish hatch
erv men when the nets are taken
up will dispel them all. They are
only netting for pike but with
each haul large numbers OF other
fish are found in the nets. Since
last week they have netted no
less than ten large muskellunge,

hounds and the largest, taken

COW TESTING DEMONSTRATION.
Dairy Cattle Congress at Waterloo to
Promote Daily Tests.

Waterloo, July 31.-All farmers ana
dairymen who are members of dairy
test association recognize the impor-
lance of this work on the Iowa farm. In
order to show the value of these orga-
EizationS it has been planned to con-
duct a demonstration at the dairy cattle
congress and Iowa State Dairy Assoc
citation convention which will be held
this year September q to October 3.
!! inclusive. A portion of the large cattle
pavilion will be partitioned off and used
exclusively for this feature. Five ami
mails representing the best and poorest
cows in each association will be as
sembled and used to illustrate the
practicability of this system of keeping
records on the average dairy herd.
The dairy cattle congress. the extern
sion department of the Iowa State
College and the officers of the dairy
test association will cooperate in
bringing this important phase of the
dairy industry before the large num-
Der of farmers and dairymen who an
nually attend the show.
Each COW will have her record print
ed on large placard which will be
placed just in front of her. The names
of the test association as well the
record for the years since their orga-
nization will also be given on the pla-
cards thus indicating in clear man
ner the value of this form of farmers
cooperation. A platform will be con-
structed in this portion of the cattle
pavilion and informal programs held
each day. Prominent dairymen, pro-
fessors of dairying from the agricul-
tural colleges and the members of the
test associations will be called upon to
give short talks and relate their ex-
periences.
