AMIGO TO HAVE
CONSERVATION
DEPUTY
Will Stock Streams With Trout.
(By United Press Association.)

(By United Press Association
AMIGO, Wis, March 13.-Sporte-
men of Amigo have started a move
ment to have resident deputy of
the conservation commission appoint
ed for Longdale county. The Amigo
gun club has taken the initiative in
the matter. State authorities have
been reluctant to stock Langlade
county streams in past years with
brook and rainbow trout fry on ac-
count of the violations of the game
laws by netting and dynamiting the
fish. However, conditions have i'm
proved to a great extent recently and
it is believed that the streams will be
stocked this season. The Eau Claire
river bottom has hundreds of holes,
the results of dynamiting.

out into the industries of life, they
henceforth must guide their own
steps and fashion their own destin-
les. Heretofore their every stey has
been led and supported by the guild
ing hand of parent or teacher. But
now in every truth they must be the
architects of their own fortunes.
Each one has his own life. What is
he going to do with it? The reply
is easy and certain. He is going to
invest it in something.
Pity the Rich.
I don't know how many of you are
the children of millionaires. I dare
say each of you wishes that inzhis
home the lack of money was never
felt. But my first privilege is to con-
gratulate you that such is not the
case; that most of you, possibly all
of you, are now face to face with the
stimulating necessity of making a
living. I congratulate you that this
is indeed the commencement of your
responsible life, even though that re-
sponsibility may weigh heavily upon
the minds of some of you. Andrew
Carnegie, on an occasion similar to
this, once said that the greatest good
fortune that had befallen him was to
escape the handicap of rich father.
And canny Andy was right. In this
wonderful land of freedom and oppor-
tunity, the sons of the rich are the
ones to be pitied. In the great
struggle for the real values of life,
they have scarcely a chance in COM
petition with the sons of the poor.
Whatever be your financial condi-
ton, at this hour marking the COM
mencement of your responsible lives,
you are immensely rich in the real
values of life.
Values of Life.
Now what are these real values of
life? Perhaps you will answer, fine
clothes, automobiles, great houses
and country places. Perhaps others
of you may say, lands, stocks and
bonds, business success and money.
But there you are wrong quite
wrong Those are but the incidents
of life, not it's real values. Then
| what are these real values? Fortu-
nately we have the answer written
clearly in a wonderful document, one
that is sometimes sneered at by the
ignorant and the shallow-brained,
| but which embodies more than any
other single human document, the &C.

man could not live content. This
guaranty of the real values of life
was that no person should be de-
prived of life, liberty or property"
without due process of law. These
are the real values of life, standing
out in the history of civilization in
words that CLEAN like an electric
light sign against the sky. Life"
the God-given principle without
which naught else is possible; Glib
erty," without which the possibili-
ties of life cannot be realized;
property" without which the home,
the dearest of all human institutions,
is impossible, and without which lib
erty must sooner or later yield to the
tyranny of hunger.
Life is First.
Mark the order in which these
great values are named; first is the
greatest of all, life itself; next is
liberty; and last and least is prop
erty. Of these three great values of
life every one of you has the two first
and most important. Everyone of
you has life and liberty What are
you going to do with them? That
is the great question, too great to an
swer in brief half hour. Let us
abbreviate it and ask, What are you
going to do with your life? You
have got to invest it, but how?
Have you come yet to realize how
hard it is to invest money wisely?
The inexperienced investor is beset
on every side with perils of loss.
Wherever he turns he is urged to
invest his funds in bonds that have
no security in stock that has no value,
in unseen town lots in distant cities,
in orange groves in Florida and apple
orchards in Washington. If un-
usually foolish he may be tempted to
invest his money on the throw Of
dice or the turn of a card. On every
hand stand those who are ready to
rob him of his money without real
return; and innocence and helpless
ness afford no protection against such
loss. Only to the wise and prudent
is there safety and a sure dividend.
Like an Investment.
In many respects the investment
of life is like the investment of g
savings fund But it differs in some
respects; first, that the tragedy con
sequent upon an unwise investment
of life is infinitely greater than that
which follows a bad investment Of
money; secondly, every one must
make an investment of his life IL
something, while many people are
never called upon to invest funds
and lastly and most solemn of I'll

London, June 3.-When the battle
ended Thursday between the English

lost the battle cruisers Queen Mary,

cruisers Defense, Black Prince and
Warrior and eight torpedo boat de-
stroyers, while the German battle
ship Pommern had been sent to the
bottom by torpedo, and the cruiser
Weisbaden sunk by British gunfire.
In addition several German torpedo
craft were missing, and the small
cruiser Frauenlob had last been seen
badly listed and was believed to have
gone to the bottom. -

Amsterdam, June 3.-Of the six
Zeppelins participating in the naval
fight, one is reported damaged.
New York, June 3.-The latest
German version of the naval fight
claims that the battleship Warsprite
was not damaged. One of the most
striking features Of the battle was
that the German battleship West
Fallen alone sank six British tor
pedo boats. It is also claimed that
only a part of the German fleet was
in the actual fight. 49,
German Boats Take Refuge.
