SPEAK A GOOD WORD

When the stranger enters your gate,
speak good word for your town, for
your neighbors, for the community.
1t is but little for you to do, but it
is rich in the fruits of after years.
A community is judged by the words
and the acts of its people, and we of
this community are judged by Others
in like manner.
If the hearts Of our people are warm
ed by the fires of cOmradeship and OF
brotherlv love our acts will be in accord
with our feelings, and the world will
know us as community of honor and
integrity, as people with soul, as
a place worthy Of a future.
But if we loose the floodgates of
criticism and abuse and belittle the
community and its people, then in time
we will descend to "A level which we
create for ourselves, and the world will
know us as a people whom it is well to
let alone.
Every day we are adding new rungs
to the community ladder, but are they
going up-OR DOWN!
Speak a good word, brother-speak a
good word!

FUGATE SHOULD BE RE-
NOMINATED AND ELECTED

Whether or not Col. NJ. A. Fugate
shall continue to serve the people OF the
south end of the county in the capacity
of member Of the board of county
commissioners for the next two years
will largely depend upon the support
given him in the primary election to
be held on Tuesday, September 5.
For this reason it behOOves the col
onel's friends in the lower end OF the
county to make every effort in his be-
half in the interval before the primary.
Every voter entitled to cast ballot
in the republican primary should make
sure of his registration at once and
make use Of his privilege on that date.
All registration books will close on
Saturday, August 5, and only ten days
remain
Opposition to the nomination of Col.
Fugate is strong among the leaders OF
his party in the upper end OF the dis
trict and his friends in Rich, Spring
field Sterling and Aberdeen precincts
must cast every available vote to Sc
cure his nomination.
That Col. Fugate has been an efficient
member of the county board and that
the lower end of his district has been
properly cared for everyone who is ia
miliar with the situation will agree
and HAT he should be renominated and
reelected is the urgent demand of the
voters of all parties in this end of the
district. Democrats and progressives IN
the precincts above namel will vote for
him in the general election but of course
thew have no voice in the primary. This
is the reason why every republican
should make sure of his registration and
east his vote at the primary. The col
onel will need every vote he can ge,
on this occasion. All OF his friend.

THE SILO A NECESSITY

How shall we make our high priced
lard pay good interest on the money
invested, This is the problem that con.
and the solution must be found in in
tensified farming, soil improvement and
Il study of feeds and feeding.
The silo makes intensified farming
possible through the fact that more live
stock can be raised and fed, and the
soil enriched, through the use of ma
nure The silo not only increases the
farm income, but decreases farm labor.
In those sections of southern Idaho
where sand and gravel can be had for
the hauling, it seems that the concrete
silo is the most practical. 1T is air
/ tight, permanent, durable, wind and
fire proof. Concrete grows tougher with
age, outlasting almost every other
known material The first cost is the
one big thing that stands before the
prospective silo builder; however, the
silo has proven the best investment that
farmer can make. The cost is small
when divided by the number of years
that the silo will do service and in many
eases, it pays for itself the first year.
The silO is no longer an experiment.
Ihat SllaEe Is one oI Ihe pesI Ioou'
that can be had, is a conceded fact.
The addition of silage makes better
balanced ration, insures better health,
a larger milk flow, and in beef cattle
a more rapid increase in weight. 1t
lowers the cost of butter fat from . to
cents per pound, and beef production
from $l.00 to $3.50 per one hundred
pounds 1t enables the farmer to pro
duce larger tonnage at smaller cost
economies on labor and storage space
and makes possible the maintenance OF
larger herd for the number of acres.

We have been reading lot about

We have been reading a lot about
those man eating sharks that suddenly
appeared along the Atlantic coast and
frightened the bathers from the water.
But we note, without surprise, that not
chirp was vouchsafed regarding the
two-legged sharks that infest bathing
beaches and devour the young girls who
daily fall into their clutches. But, then,
the two-legged shark is socially, polite
ally and financially powerful and it
would be extremely discourteous and
unwise to disturb him in the enjoyment
of his innocent pastime." A shark is
shark, but his status is qualified by
the breed.

I remember, l remember
The house where l was born;
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn.
You'd hardly know the old place now
For dad is up to date
And the farm is scientific
From the back lot to the gate.

The house and barn are lighted
With bright acetylene.
The engine in the laundry
Is run by gasolene.
We have siIes, we have autos,
We have dynamOs and things,
A telephone for gossip
And a phouograph that sings. 4
The hired man has left us; =
We miss his honest face;
A lot of college graduates
Are working on the place.
There's an engineer and' fireman,
A chauffeur and Vet,
Electrician and mechanic
Oh, the farms run right, you bet.
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn
Now brightens up a bathroom

The Best Laxative

To keep the bowels regular the best
laxative is outdoor exercise. Drink a
full glass of water half an hour before
breakfast and eat an abundance OF
fruit and vegetables, also establish Il
regular habit and be sure that youl
bowels move once each day. When q
medicine is needed take Chamberlain :
Tablets. They are pleasant to take ans
mild and gentle in effect. Obtainablt

WILL BE BIG
TROUT SEASON
Minimum Length is Seven Inches
Days Bag Limited to As.

Today is the opening day of the
trout season and Wisconsin anglers
got their rods and other paraphena-
liza out of hook and made a quick get
away for the streams where the speck-
led beauties lurk.
Reports from the state conservation
service, show that there are more trout
in Wisconsin streams this year than
ever before, more of them and bigger
ones. The stocking of rivers and
streams by the state had been going
on for years with the result that Wis
consin now can offer more inducements
in the line of trout fishing than any
other state in the union, except Mon
tana.
More than 100000 brook and rain
bow trout were planted and are being
planted this year.
The season for trout opened today
in all but the following counties: Dou-
glas, Bayfield,, Ashland and Iron.
There the season opens May /. In
Sheboygan, Manitowoc and Fond du
Lac counties the season closes on Au-
gust L. In all others, it closes on Au-
gust 81 or September /.
The bag limit in all counties is 45
day and, according to the new law,
the minimum length must be seven
inches. THIS IS A CHANGE from
last year, when the minimum was six
inches.
Trout may be shipped from one
point to another in the state if ac-
companied by the consignor, in the
number of As. This is one days
catch. More than that is an illegal
shipment.

COMPL PLIMENTARY
TO THE editor

Grand Rapids, Wis, Apr. Is, 1916.
Dear Editor
In the interest of Good Roads, which
benefit all people to greater extent
than any public utility, | wish to COM
ment in the strongest language posi-
bic the editorial in the Pittsville Re-
cord under the date of April IL hav-
ing the heading "They do the Busi-
ness" and as the Highway Commits
sioner of Wood County, | wish to ap-
prove every line of this editorial as the
best article on roads for this commun-
ity that | have ever read, and | es-
pecially beseech every newspaper IN
Wood County to borrow this article
for re-printing and sincerely believe
that no road builder could improve
upon this article. It is written in such
plain language that no one can mis-
understand the benefits of good drain
age to roads.
The article itself shows that the
editor has given considerable thought
to the welfare of his community, To-
Gated as the little city of Pittsville is,
surrounded by considerable undevel-
oped good farming land, and in this
age of motor traffic. The most es-
sential thing to any community is
good roads. But the benefits are
doubly increased in behalf of the city
of Pittsville, and I hereby extend my
congratulations to the editor of the
PittsvilIe Record on his keen concep-
ton of the country road problems in
Wood county.

Wood County Highway Commissioner.

of enthusiasts hurrying to the small
towns along the streams and lakes to
enjoy their favorite sport.
Early in the spring when the wat
rains many anglers find worms the
best bait. But as soon as the waters
begin to lower and clear up the trout
will rise to an artificial fly. For fly
fishing, take a split bamboo fly cast
ing rod about 61a to 9 feet in length
and weighing to 5 ounces; a light
single trout reel or light three null
toplying reel and enameled silk fly
casting line, six foot leader and ar
ticial flies tied to No. s and 10 thinnest
wire hooks.
Flies for April, May, and June are:
March brown, codding, haresear, Wood
cock, Grizzly King, Brown Hackle,
Ruben Wood, Coachman, Rayol Coach
man, Gray Hackle, Dusley Miller, and
Queen Professor.
The shipping of the trout of any
variety without accompanying the
shipment is prohibited by the state
law. Other things prohibited are:
Selling of trout, having more than
forty-five in ones possession on
single day, keeping trout less than
six inches in length.
