With all our multiplicity OF holidays one import
ant opportunity for celebrating officially and to-
gether seems to have been passed up. We refer to
Trout Day; why not one? Of all the signs of the
zodiac that of pisces is the most benevolent urbane
and kindly.
We hold it quite incidental whether you get any
fish or not. We consider entirely immateria wheth-
er there be any trout in the stream you fish, pro-
vided you are ignorant of the fact. Fishing, trout
fishing-there is no other fishing, gentlemen-is
lonely pastime; your most genial and jovial
roisterer inclines to the hermit when fishing; and
alone with your stream and your rod and your
sun and your good warm earth and your sweet
kind breeze blowing coolly down the canyon you
give the best in you chance to bubble to the
face, while in town, in the mob, it sulks and hides
way down so deep inside you that even your wife
can't find it.
We don't care what they say about it, we know
that our original state catching fish in the
wilderness, because it is only there we feel stirring
those buried innate things that were with us in the
beginning
We don't what they say about it. we know
that Heaven is place where every one of us can
have private stream perpetuay stocked with
fighting trout. Why even the theologans admit
that there is slight chance of there being trout pools
In hell, so Heaven must contain miles on miles Of
them.
You have to be gentleman and good loser to
catch trout. You can't dynamite them, or snare
them, or spear them, scoop them in nets You
have to catch them, by one, working every min
ute of the day, to fill your basket, and no loud
talking, loud-walkng busterer will WOO the trout
from his deep green cave
You can take good dog and 12-gauge shotgun
and murder the birds of the field without skill or
betterment to yourself
You can tie your line to handy post and go to
sleep and you will catch just as many salt water
fish off the wharf
But you have to be on the job and be gentleman
to catch trout. If we had the handling of matters
we would install trout stream in every school
yard and instruct the rising generation in the art of
catching fish as they should be caught; it would in
culcate department..
Personally we prefer to catch few fish when
we go fishing but that's merely because we have to

WILSON'S VIEWS SOUGHT
ON FOOD CONTROL BILL
Senate Leaders Wish Him tC
Give Opinion Regarding
Compromises

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Democsrat-
&c leaders of the senate, finding it well
nigh impossible to reconcile conflicting
views on the food control bill, decided
today to appeal to President Wilson to
outline his opinion of what compromises
should be agreed upon to hasten action
on the measure.
The senate agriculture committee de-
cided today not to make any endorse
ment or recommendation regarding the
Gore substitute bill. Senator Gore.
however, plans to offer it as an individ-
uaI proposition, with the understanding
that many of it's provisions will have
general support in liue of those in the
pending bill
Senator Chamberlain, handling food
control for the president, opposed a
formal vote on the Gore measure at an
agriculture committee meeting today.
Time was desired by friends of the
Hoover food administration to study tina
Oklahoma senator's bill further to see
whether meats, sugar and fats are not
likely to escape regulation under Its
terms.
HooVers friends made it known that
only the original Lever bill as it came
from the houe agriculture committee
would entirely satisfy them. They an
nounced they would rather see prohibit
ton and other issues settled on their
own merits in separate bills after food
control legislation is enacted. The Gore
substitute, like the present senate bill
also would prevent manufacture of
whisky and put beer and wine control
up to the president.
If President Wilson does not object.
the leaders were said to believe that the
substitute bill drawn by Senator Gore
generally embraces sideas for compro-
mise legislation. The Gore bill would
limit government control to food and
fuel alone, eliminating Steel iron. cop
per, cotton and many other products
The prohibition question, it was
agreed, probably will have to be settled
in conference without further senate ac-
ton, because of the unanimous consent
agreement under which the senate acted
last week.
These decisions were reahed at con-
ferences between Senator Martin, Demo-
cratic leader; Chairman Gore, Of the ag-
riculture committee; Senator Chamber
lain, who has charge of the legislation
in the senate, and Senator Simmons,
chairman of the finance committee,
whose work on the war tax bill is sus-
pended pending final action on prohibi-
ton.

LONDON, July 12.-Over more than
12O miles Of front from Tarnopol to the
Carpathians, Russia's revived armies
were battling their way forward today.
In ten days of their offensive they have
penetrated the Austro-German line at
two places. have captured a score of
odthes, towns and villages, crossed two
great rivers. and taken close to $4,000
prisoners with a vast number OF guns
and material. The Galician stronshold
of Lembers Is now directly menaced.
The Teutons evidently regarded the
Brusilon offensive disdaanfully when IL
started July 2. Dispatches from the
front today quoted Austrian prisoners as
declaring they had been assured by their
commanders that the Russians did not
have sufficient ammunition; that their
supplies were meager. and that the Rus
sian troops could not be expected to
fight more than day or two.
The Russians have not followed this
German schedule. however, and by their
splendid fighting and complete co-ordi-
nation of transport and food service have
now placed at least two large sections
of the Teutonio. limo in grave jeopardy
The Austrian forces around Lemberg are
imperiled by a thanking movement from
Halicz. North, around Tarnopol. the
breach in their lines is 50 wide that q
great retreat may have TO be made to
save large forces.
Evidently seeking information pFelinn-
mary to another attempt to advance
along the Belgian seacoast, German
troops attempted a general raid last
night south of Lonbartzyde. Field
Marshal Haig reported the maneuver to-
day, declaring the Germans had been
successfully driven off.
Britons were surprised, but not per-
turbed, by the German success on the
coast reported yesterday. There were
three guesses here as to the motive be-
hind the German attack.
First Of all. many Observers here be-
lieved 1T was to anticipate a British
offensive expected in that region 9th

hope of relieving the increasing British
pressure on Lens and Lille. The final
hypothesis was that it was to cloak a
possible German retirement elsewhere

ing from the German success near Men
port, Belgium, Tuesday, were about
/ 800, including prisoners. These hg-
ures were given by Major General f. B.

Press an electric button and you
form a contact with live wire which

roots down upon a sensitive nerve and
you get shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for a

will cost very little but is sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn Or cal
