bers of the G.. A. r.
Chairman James Nevin of the Wis
consin conservation commission said
that the commission had received many
letters from fishermen throughout the
state inquiring when the season opens
for game fish other than trout. He

the opening date for game fish except
trout and with the exception Of fish in
certain small lakes and streams, for
May 80. Fishermen may catch fish
any time after midnight on May 20,
Commissioner Nevin said.
Under the old law the season for
game fish opened on Memorial day,
May 80, but at the request of the G. A.
R. the legislature has changed the date
to May 20. Among the exceptions to
the taking of fish on May 20 are the
following:
The season for black bass in Devils

ington county and NesAkoro mill pond

ceptions to the provisions Of the law
for an open season for game fish on
May 20.

Automobile owners of Kenosha and

Automobile owners of Kenosha and
country towns are warned to be on the
lookout when they ride to Milwaukee.
Night patrols have been established on
all roads in the country by the sheriff,
the object being to put an end to joy
rides in the wee small hours of the
morning. Motorcycle deputies are to
be on duty all night and through the
early hours every night during the
summer. In the past the roads have
only been patroled in the daytime.
The sheriff claims that owing to the
reckless work of JOY riders in the past
there have been scores of accidents
and that there is grave danger to law
abiding owners who happen to be re-
turning home late at night.

/, Washington, May 16.-Revised f1g-

that the new army will be even larger

and unassigned recruits, and that the
war strength will be 2S6,5o0 officers
and combatant troops, which, with
staff troops, scouts and others added,
will bring the aggregate maximum
strength Of thex regular army to 2e1,-
500. The national guard, as re-
organized. would total $4,000, making
a total of 71S,500 available.
