George Port, the wire fence man,
has leased the room in the rear Of the

may always be found on Saturday

Draw the Net
Game Warden Jas. Lockhart has
been enjoying life during the past
| week, having had several persons
who have been engaged in illegal
| fishing brought up and convicted.
| The first case. were three OF our Mill
| bank citizens, who on Monday were
| taken before Justice of the Peace
Smith at Wilmot, and having been
caught redhanded, at Wildwood,
| pleaded guilty to catching fish with
a sein. Both sein and fish were con-
tiscated and the culprits were each
fined $50 and costs, the total fine
and costs for the three amounting to
Sl54. 50.
City Marshal Stevens at Big Stone
on Wednesday was down around the
lake with a search warrant and at the
G.. Fraham home arrested Fran and
G. p. Phillips, who had bag Of fish
and the net with which they were
caught. The Marshal arrested the
men and they were brought to Mil
bank, and before Justice Of the Peace
Nixon they pleaded guilty to the
charge made against them Of fishing
with sein; and they were unable to
pay the fine and were taken to the
county jail to serve time at the
rate OF two dollars q day. The game
warden auctioned off the fish, among
which was a fine large black bass.
1T is stated by Big Stone people that
Frahnhas been engaged IN the busi-
ness probably right aloog, but on the
part of Phillips it is probably only
case of old dog Tray being in bad
company.
However, the victims in both the
Big Stone and Wildwood cases will
probably learn that it is as profita BILE
to keep within the law in f-hing as
it is in other lines Of conduct. and
those who violate the law will get
little sympathy when brought to
unishment

Odd Fellow Picnic

The Odd Fellows of the several
towns in the vicinity of Big Stone

picnic association and last year held
their first picnic at Hartford. The
affair was so successful that plans
for permanent organization were
made and the picnic will be held this
year on Thursday, June Sd at Hart
ford. Arrangements have been made
for band and other entertainment.
It is expected that some thirty Mil.
bank Odd Fellows will enjoy the pic
mic, and those intending to take in
the affair should be at the Odd

CHRISTMAS FIRE DANGEE
DOUBLED THIS YEAR, SAYS
STATE FIRE MARaEAI,

DOUBLED THIS YEAR, SAYS
STATE FIRE MARSHAL
'The danger Of Christmas fires this
year is increased two-fold because Of
the double holiday-Saturday, Decem-
Der IS, and Sunday, the 26th," says
Robert w. Hargadine, state fire mar
shall.
Therefore, this department urges
that extra precautions be taken by all
the merchants in Minnesota to pre-
vent an outbreak of fire, which is al
ways inherent with the Christmas sea-
son, because Of the nature Of decora-
tions used and the augmented crowds
in the stores.
|. Many mercantile establishments
lend themselves to this Christmas haz-
ard by using infammable decorations.
The merchant is urged to look well
to this, because holiday fires in stores
are usually holocausts-a match, gas
flame or an electrical defect may cost
many lives and result in mercantile
sacrifice altogether inexcusable.
Reports on file in this department
show that Christmas disasters are de-
creasing in numbers. This is due to
the friendly spirit Of cooperation Of
merchants with the fire marshal's de.
partments throughout the country. But
because of the fact that the holiday
season is busy one with store-keeper
and customer alike, the following sug-
gestions are made by way Of remind
ers:
Watch gas jets-watch smokers
watch electric wiring.
When your shore closes Friday night,
December "a, see that there is not a
spark lying about, Have all accumula-
tions Of rubbish cleaned up and placed
in freproof receptacle or removed
from the premises, and see that no
waste material Of an inf1ammable ma
ture is left in corners or out-of-the-way
places in the establishment which
would result in fire from combustion.
If these precautions are taken, the
fire marshal's department feels that
more will have been done on the part
of progressive Minnesota merchants to
reduce the fire hazard Of the Christmas
season this year than ever before.

We really don't think the metro
F0fitan press would abuse Ford 50
much if they didn't fear that perhaps
after all his expedition will help the
cause Of peace. To publish cartoons
representing Ford as foolish clown,
as the Minneapolis Journal did, and
TO publish an article from a Detroit
paper critieising him, as the Tribune
did, makes little difference to the av.
erage citizen, who long ago. ceased
being Influenced by the editorial col
u1ans Of the metropolitan press. The
Detroit paper says that Ford never
had the advantage Of a. school or COL
lege education. That is unfortunat>,
but it is also true of Abraham Lin
coin. Our belief is that Ford knew
well enough the storm Of ridicule and
abuse he would receive, but that he
felt it could easily make the sacrifice
if it helped to concentrate people 8
minds on the idea Of peace. Before
peace comes, it must be in the popular
mind in place Of war. If the Ford
expedition helps the cause it will be
worth all the ridicule and abuse.

oeratic candidate for senator. We are
surprised that any importance should

that Mr.. Lynch supported Congress-

a fact that many of the federal ap-
