During Year, Il, 900, 900 Pounds

insufficient Capacity of Wisconsin
Hsteheries DepIored in the Annual
Statement by superintend-
emit Nevin.

Madison.-Commercial fishing in
Wisconsin during the year ending
June 80, 1914, produced over twenty.
one million pounds of fish, valued at
$79S,040, according to the annual re-
port of Superintendent James Nevin
Of the state department of fisheries.
Superintendent Neyin deplores the
fact that a larger number of white
fish fry and eggs. to maintain the
number of whitefish in Lakes Michi-
gan and Superior, are not available.
He says that the so-called steelhead
trout caught in the great lakes are in
his opinion really rainbow trout, It
ed in small streams, and which l..cer
find their way into the great lakes
and there take on their so-called steel
head appearance.
The nine state fish hatcheries of
Wisconsin. the superintendent says,
have not sufficient capacity to keep up
the required supply of fry for waters
within the state and some steps
should be taken to increase their num-
Der or capacity. The total expenses
of the state department of fisheries in
1914 were s62 ,63444.

NATIONAL SONG OF CHINA

After the rejection of eight nation
a anthems composed in China since
the revolution. that of the Chinese
minister to Belgium. Wang Van Pao.
which, together with the song of the
minister of agriculture. commerce and
trade. Chang Tsien. belongs to the
latest compositions. is likely to be &C
cepted by the Chinese government.
Following is a translation of the first
three stanzas:
China, the sublime mountains and
luxuriant plains attest thy greatness.
Country of wonders through thy
hoary civilization, thy emperors have
sacrificed themselves in ceding the
rule to the people.
The people have the supreme pow
er. So has taught Confucius and
Mengtse, And already in the hoary
times of Yao and Suen it had thus
been announced to the people. The
people is composed OF five tribes. The
unity of the five tribes is past dispute.
Then China is invincible.
Develop the wealth Of the country.
improve agriculture. and make the
people happy Education and culture
are the achievements Of centuries.
All citizens are equal; for Confucius
and Mengtse have taught social equal
ity."

II was the habit of Charles H. Hoyt

had just arrived and they saw an old
farmer and his wife coming up the
path
Who are they?' asked Hoyt 81

Currie. That is that old zap and his
wife you talked to over at Springfield
