BLEW OUT DAM
ON EAGLE RIVER
Game Warden Removes Obstruction
Which Interferes With Health
of Fish.

Under instructions from the state
conservation commission, Game War
den Smith, of Marinette county, this
week blew out dam on the Eagle
river in the western section of Mari
nette county.
The Eagle is no longer logging
stream and the dam served no pur-
pose. AS a result of the stoppage
of the water the latter became stag
nant for several miles up and down
stream and brook trout perished in it
because of this reason.
1t took five men two days to COM
plete the work and two hundred
pounds of dynamite were used. The
dam was effectually removed and the
stream has assumed its former bed.
Several sporting clubs were interest
ed in the work and will replace a
bridge below the dam which was car
ried away when the dam went OUT

has received a brief but quite interest
ing letter from Lieutenant Carroll j.

near to the national capital. : e
writes
"News just reached me of the happy
step in your life. Accept my heartiest
congratulations and good wishes to
you and the new recruit (referring
ito SergeantMergenthaPs recent we'd
ding.)
Everything is efficient here and
moves right along-a branch of mill
tary, / believe, peculiar alone to this
corps. One of our regiments left
some time since for France, and an
choosing many of us for this regi-
ment | might possibly be included,
which l sincerely hope. This town
is not much of a place The heat
would make 103 East Main street,

comparison. The town is positively
no good, but we are only an hour from
Washington Yours for the Marine
Corps,

SOME HOOVERISM.

If you are praoticing economy in your home, say so; sign Hoover pledge.
 The government will not search your house or take your food. That is story circulated by Pro-Germans and malicious people to destroy your faith in your government. Show people you do not believe such malicious stories. Sign a card.
 If you are really backing our boys in the trenches you will be willing to eat fish for beef, corn, oatmeal, rye and potatoes in place of some white flour. Use vegetable fats for cooking instead of lard or butter. Go with out frosted cake and candy and use wherever possible other sweets be- sides white sugar.
 Patriotism means something besides cheering when the flag goes by-it means self-saorifioe if called for.
 The Kaiser does not want you to save food. Herbert Hoover does. If you sign a Hoover pledge card you are encouraging Hoover; if you do not, you are encouraging the Kaiser. Sign a card

Contrasts and the Eye.

Having to examine long lists of figures in black type, he tried to facili- tate his task by drawing vertical and horizontal lines in red ink, but the diff ferent focusing of the black and red strained his eye and gave him a head ache, which did not trouble him when all the figures and lines were either black or red.

superstltions Of the Sea.

The persons who sail as passengers
on ship which does not regularly car
~ passengers are looked upon either
with favor or disfaEor by the crew
The presence Of q child Is thought e
be q good omen, while women are be
lieved to bring bad luck. Lawyers are
looked upon with greatest dislike. fol-
they are considered particularly IN
lucky. The name ''sea lawyer" is the
worst term one sailor can use toward
another.
a. cat on board ship is supposed to
cause the vessel to meet with gales
The old saying is. "a cat carries a gale
in her tail" and the average sailor be
lieves that when q cat frisks about the
deck she is raising storm. Pigs also
have bad reputation on shipboard.
