WATCH FOR
BANDS On
Wild DUCKS

1t you kill or capture a wild duck
bearing an aluminium band around one
leg, having number on one side, and
on the other statement requesting
that the United States Department of
Agriculture be notified, you are re-
quested to send this band at once to
the bureau of biological survey, Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c.,
This band, if accompanied by a
statement as to date, place, and cir
cumstances under which the bird was
taken, will be of service to the survey
in it's efforts to determine the longevity
of individual ducks and the routes of
migration of the species.
The bands are being attached to
considerable numbers of wild duck of
several species which have been cured
of the duck sickness prevalent around
Great Salt Lake, Utah, and there re-
leased. The department is particular
ly anxious to secure reports from these
birds to determine their complete re-
covery from this malady which has
killed hundreds of thousands of ducks
in Utah.

Of this years crop in this immediate

six cranberry barrels per hour, and it

Among the worlmen we found that

The cranberry barrels are all deliver

Is La Toilette For Hughes?

A great many appear to be concern
ed about the fact: SIS our Senior SEN j.
ator, Robt. NJ. La Toilette, in favor
of Charles E. Hughes for president 2"
The fact that he is going thru the
state campaigning and never says a
word about him is the best evidence to
us that Re is not in his favor, yet he
may be. Senator La Toilette usually
comes out in the open and speaks in
favor of those he wants to see elected.
We count him against Hughes, but he
has no particular desire to influence
his friends against Mr.. Hughes if
they desire to vote for him, therefore
he says nothing against him. While
Senator La Toilette will succeed him
self as Senator, Chas. E. Hughes,
will also carry Wisconsin.
Some Progressive Republicans may
follow Senator La Toilette blindly a
gainst Hughes, but only a few Repub-
licans as a rule want to go back to
National Republican administration
and vii lvote their ticket pretty
straight this fall from Hughes down.
Let Senator a Fnllnt+a do q 9 he 1iEoC
He will anyway, and thank your stars
he is not opposing Hughes for Presi-
dent. We all know he want vote for
Gov. E. L. Philip, yet he is not say
ing anything against his reelection.
The Republicans have expressed their

Going to Chiffon.

w. H. Heath, advertising solicitor
and reporter on the Daily Reporter
for several years has rendered his
resignation and expects to leave Tues
day for his new duties We are sOr-
ny to have him leave us as he has
been efficient, pleasant and we believe
popular. In going he hopes to bet
ter himself both as to salary and flu
ture possibilities as he may take an
interest in the new publ cation he is
going to be connected with. We shall
be pleased to hear of his success and
wish him well in his new undertaking.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heath and their two
children will be greatly missed by
those who knew them intimately, and
we join with them, in expressions of
good will and commend them to the
good people of Chiffon as worthy and
good citizens.
Our best wishes go with them.

choice at the Primaries and the Sena-
tor shows wisdom in respecting their
choice by keeping silent. Permit him
to act his pleasure just as you are 60
ing to do. This is a free country.
Many Stalwart Republicans will not
vote for La Toilette no matter who he
favors, or opposes for President, but
La Toilette will be elected Senator in
Wisconsin just as surely as Hughes
will carry Wisconsin. Don't worry a
bout what Senator La Toilette is go
ing to do. Get busy yourself and
vote the straight Republican ticket and
we hope La Toilette will do the same.

Our recent editorial with reference
to the qualifications of VIM. T. Mobiles
for the office of County Clerk was re-
Gently answered in the Leader by
some one who did not care to disclose
his name. The article attempts to
draw public attention away from the
issue by attacking >the editor of this
paper.
Our record is not the one at issue.
We are not a candidate for the office.
The people will fully understand that
it is the record of Mr.. Mobiles which
we wish to call to the public's atten-
ton, because he is a candidate for an
important public office. We do not
think his record entities him to anoth-
er term.
