FIVE POUND PICKEREL
Taken from Old Savsn1ilI Pond by AL
 bert SayIes.

Albert Sayles who runs 8 store up at East kiilinsly. likes to go out fish ing once in a while-when the signs are right and the psychological settings are favorable. With the week end everything pertaining to signs was right proper, so he went out After some time on the ice at the Old Saw mill pond, q tilt flag signaIled q bite and Mir. Sayles leisurely navigated himself in the general direction of the signal station. He did not indulge in undue haste, knowing that all condi- tions were as they should be when the time for catching fish arrives. Cas- ualiy scanning the horizon, he noted that it was likely to storm Sooni and then proceeded to haul in on the line. He noticed with some interest that considerable weight was hanging on the other end.
 As the weight neared the surface and he caught q first glimpse of the catch he was impressed, from the gen. eral form and contour of the object that it might possibly be a submarine of the U-9 type; but 1t wasn't, and as he figured out submarine routes he knew it couldn't be a carp. So to clear up the matter he slapped the catch out

Burlington, N. d., May Cat an
enthusiastic baseball meeting held at
the City Barber Shop last night a
purse of $500 was raised in a few min
utes time for the purpose of putting
the local team in shape for the season.
George Tiller was chosen manager,
and John H. Werner was the unani-
nous choice for secretary and treas
urer.
Work will begin at once on the local
diamond, putting it in shape for the
season. 1t is evident that Burlington
will have the strongest team this year
that has ever played under the Bur-
lington colors.
There is a good opening here for a
good pitcher. He will be given a sal
airy and furnished a job whereby he
will be able to pull down good bunch
of coin.
Plans are under way for brush
with the Des Laos team next Sunday.
The complete schedule for the sea-
son will be announced in the 1ndepen-

At STRAW
BERRY lake MAYiCEASE
IF LOCAL ISAAC WALTONS PER-
SYST IN BREAKING THE LAW,
LAKE MAY BE ABSOLUTELY
CLOSED FOR FIVE YEARS.

Concerning the catching of fish and
the regulations which govern this,
Chief Game Warden E. B. McCutcheon
says:
Pickerel may be taken in the day
time, from practically every lake in
the state, by hook and line or by spear.
The law so states. Protected fish,
such as perch, bass, trout, etc., may
only be taken in the proper seasons,
as fixed by law, but from no body Of
water in which fish have been planted
or placed, may that particular variety
Of fish be taken for a period of five
years after such fish have been plant
ed. Fishing with lights, of course, is
not permitted.
1t has been rumored that some Mi
not people contemplate going fishing
for bass at Strawberry lake next Sun
day. AS the season does not open un-
til one week from Sunday, it will be
wise to leave the little fishes alone.
After the season opens, all fish under
six inches in length, must be thrown
back, and if there are very many VIC
lations this year in Strawberry lake
that body of water will be absolutely
closed for five years.

some horrible dsnfectant about the
room one day last week, making it
impossible for the students to remain
in the building. The class walked out
and started for the Chautauqua
grounds, but the faculty intercepted
them and ordered them all back,
threatening to not let one of them
graduate. They returned, but this did
not end the trouble. The faculty de-
manded that the guilty member con-
fess and take his punishment before
the arrangements could 60 on for
graduating. No one has yet taken the
blame and the chances are that no
graduating exercises will be held.
Work has stopped on the orations and
orders for gowns and suits have been
Cancelled. A high school dance was
stopped but friend rented the hall
and several of the students attended
the ball with the full consent of their
parents. The faculty has not the back
ing of the entire board and there is a
merry war that is growing worse
daily.

seven miles north of Minot. Mr..
Wolfe was accompanied by Arthur
Perry and the Misses Maude Perry,

not notice the turn in time to slow

cupants were all pinned under the
machine. One of the ladies managed to
extricate herself and assisted Mr..
Wolfe in lifting the car enough so the
others could crawl out. None of them
was seriously injured, tho all sustain
ed bruises. Mr.. Wolfe suffered cut
on the arm.
The wind shield was smashed, two
tires blew out, but in couple of hours,
the party proceeded on their way.

nearly so per cent under the prices
here. Native fruits are very cheap,
indeed, except oranges, which in spite
of California's proximity, are practi-
cally the same as here. Strange to
say, bananas retail at SC and 10c per
