standing in front of GaetEman's place

RIB RIVER WILL BE
STOCKED WITH TROUT

Through the application of John
Brackendorf and the endorsement of
his personal friend, Senator Paul
Hastings, Rib river will be stocked
this spring with over a quarter of a
million brook trout of the lingering
size. Mr.. Brackendorf received word
this week from the Federal Bureau
| of Fisheries at Washington that a
shipment of 300 cans of brook trout
would be made to Athens in early
spring to be used in stocking Rib
river and that he should be prepared
to take care of the shipment on its ar
rival. Upon notification Mr.. Bracken-
dorf and other Marshfield sportsmen
will drive to Athens with cars and
carry the fry out to the numerous
creeks emptying into Rib at points
near Goodrich and Interwald. This is
the largest single shipment of fish ever
received in this vicinity and will do
much in conserving the present fine
brook trout fishing in the Rib river
Marshfield Herald.
This is no doubt Big Rib river which
is to be stocked. This stream, at its
source, has many little creeks cover
ing the northwest part of our county.
Little Rib empties into it near Wausau
and this stream was at one time one of
the best trout streams in this section.
The trout were all caught out in traps
and nets and also dynamited. There
are trout in sthat stream yet but our
sportsmen became disgusted with the
unlawful fishing and for many years
not much has been done to restock
this stream. Big Rib, in the years
gone by, was the home of the muskal-
longe, and many as large as twenty
five or thirty pounds and larger have
been taken from it's waters. Little
Rib should again be heavily stocked
with trout. 1t was first planted with
trout in 1872 by the late Judge w. c..
Silverthorn, N. T. Kelly and others.

SHOULD PREPARE NOW

The farmers of Marathon county
should prepare to make the coming
year hummer as to crops. Every
inch of available ground should be
planted. If there is a vacant piece
of ground which will raise potatoes
get hold of it. The same thing is
urged upon our people. Secure a cou-
pie of lots and raise your own vege-
tables. Do not think about it, but do
it. The cultivation of the ground will
give you exercise and bring in good re-
turns. If it is good season for crops
the returns will be greater as whole,
than any year in the history of the
county. 1t will pay you to make prep
arations now.

One Of the shortest sumnings-up on
record IS believed to be that delivered
by the late Commissioner Kerr at the
Old Bailey FIJI Il case where man was
charged with being in the unlawful
possession of gold watch and chain.
The appearance OF the prisoner GER
tainly did not correspond with the le-
ultimate possession of such costly or
raments, but he asserted his innocence
Of the charge and declared that he had
found the watch and chain on the
pavement.
The judge looked at the man in the
dock and then at the men in the box.

II have walked over the pavements OF
London during the last forty years,
and I've never found gold watch and
chain there yet. Consider your YER

, each succeeding one must be achieved
by the consistent backing of ALL the
citizens! We, each one Of us, mus
face it as an individual responsibility
The allowance for Liberty Loan sub.
scriptions should be as much an item
Of the regular family budget during
the period Of the war, as is the allow
ance, education, rent, or taxes in our
homes. For, without systematic, 10y
al, individual support by all the cit
liens, the war loans cannot succeed,
and we are likely to find ourselves
without the homes to budget for!
It matters not how great our con-
tribution of loved ones, or of personal
services; to every citizen of the Uni
ted States there is this other duty
which must be faced. Let us plan
now, therefore, to meet our obliga-
ton in War Loan No. 2. We can
class the outlay under "Higher Life"
or as Overhead" Unless we face
the war loans as our individual re-
sponsibilities, we are likely to see the
day when we yearn for both! The
whole people of America is called up
on to pay this systematic tax as call
ed for, to the perpetuation of their
life, liberty, and pursuit Of happi-

Several progressive citizens are
meeting the situation demanding
homes for the newcomers by either
building new rent residences or re-
modelling old ones and and making
them modern. Because certain class
es Of renters have been willing to
put up with certain classes of rent
houses is no reason why property
owners should continue to lose mon
ey by failing to put their rent prop
critics in good condition and to make
them thoroughly modern. People
from other parts of the United
States who are pouring into Morgan
City to make their homes are for a
certainty no better than the older
citizens of the city, but if they come
here, as many Of them do, from CT
ties where they have enjoyed modern
conveniences in the way of resi-
dences it is hardly possible that they
will make satisfied citizens if they
have put up with less in their new
place of residence. The shipyard is
here to stay and it is but the fore
runner of many great industrial ad-
vantages to come to Morgan City.
The man with vacant lot within the
corporate limits of this city can not
go wrong by putting a neat, mo ] ,rn
residence thereon.
