Communicated
Editor Ely Miner.

We read with interest Mr..
Whitten's communication to your
paper on the local fish question.
The term "Cheap Politics as ap-
piled in this case, is the most ac-
curate description of this legis-
lative act that has ever come to
our notice.
We understand that one mem
Der of the legislature from a near
by district. is heavily interested
in the Lake of the Woods and
Rainy Lake fisheries. The fact
that Namakon and Lac LaCroix
being tributary to the above
fisheries, will furnish one reason
why those lakes were left open to
the fisherman and all boundary
lakes east of Lac LaCroix, being
tributary to Winton and Ely,
were closed.
Lake of the Woods and Rainy
Lake have been fished to their
banks years ago on account OF
their proximity to R. R. shipping
points. Fishing can be carried
on there until the last fish is taken
out of the lakes, in direct con-
trast with the isolated geograph-
ical position of the lakes tribu-
tary to Winton and Ely. The
heavy overhead expense incident
to transportation to shipping
point, is natural and very effec-
tive barrier to fishing the lakes
of this section to any damaging
extent.
Although not considered as
such, commercial fishing is sim
pie business proposition, and like
any other business of production
is dependent entirely upon it's
volume or daily output being in
excess Of the expense.
The heavy expense attached to
transport fish from our boundary
lakes to the shipping point Tin
many cases, over 8 or 10 portages
and as far as seventy miles in
land) requires a large daily out
put. Now any person Of average
intelligence can easily figure that,
when one half the fish are taken
out, the balance are scattered so
that the output is reduced at
least rs per cent and that means
absolute protection for the fish
that are left, laws or no laws, for
who else, but the sportsman,
wants to kill game or fish for
fun only.
Assuming that there is a reason
for most legislative acts, it would
be interesting to know the real
reason why the lakes in this
neighborhood were closed and
those west of us were left open.
If Mr.. Whitten's description
Of "Cheap Politics. does not
cover the reason, can it
be possible that the REAL rea-
son cannot be accurately de-
scribed i'm moderate language.
1t was rumored at one time
that game wardens were actively
engaged i'm looking for excuses to
recommend the closing Of our
lakes twas it for fish protection?)
[ for one did not take any stock
in the rumor at that time.
Do you, Mr.. Editor, know of
any "Cheap Politician or his
stool pigeon, that would take an
active interest in fish business?
We have boats, nets and ice
houses (full Of ice already for
business and the only thing lack
ing to carrying on the business
without legislative int rvention,
is the POLITICIAN.
And it occurred to me that we
may be able to protect Lake of
the Woods and Rainy Lake, Ito
eliminate competition).

Where is the safest place IL

WucIc ID Cut odACSe paw Ah
the world to put your money!
Not in an old stocking hidden
behind the clothes press; not in
gold buried in the back yard or
the cellar floor; not i'm greenbacks
sewed in the lining Of your vest.
Somebody might find your treas
ure and rob you. No one ever
hid anything so safely that some
body else couldn't find it.
The safest thing on the earth
to do with your money is to leave
it with your Uncle Samuel. In
other words, buy a Liberty Bond.
Your Uncle Sam can't fail. If
he goes under you may well know
that nothing else will be left
afloat. Banks can break, business
houses can 60 bankrupt, million
aires may lose their fortunes, and
turn beggars, land may lose in
value, houses may burn down,
livestock may die, borrowers may
repudiate their promissory notes
there isn't any kind of security
anywhere that hasn't some weak
spots. There is always a posi-.
biity that any kind of riches
known to man may take wings.
Except one.
The promise to pay of your
Uncle Sam.
He has never reneged. He
never can renege. He never will.
Nobody knows what is coming.
We live in times of great upset
ting. Who can tell what finan-
ciaI disaster, what panic, what
peril from invasion or attack the
future may have in store for us9
Isn't it good plan to put what
little money you have laid in a
place as absolutely secure as is
humanity possibleY
Then 60 and buy a Liberty
Bond.
That means that hundred mil

Gold may be gold, but there 4
something even better. It's
Uncle Sans promise to pay gold.
And that's what a Liberty Bond
is.
Get a Liberty Bond, have it
registered in your name, and you
have laid up your treasure,
literally "where moth and rust do
not corrupt, nor thieves break
through and steal"
Besides, it is not dead, like
boarded coin, but pays you 31a

KANSAS SAVES LIQUOR
MONEY TO BUY AUTOS
Statistics Show Sunflower
State Has Car for Every

Kansas has saved enough on her
liquor bill in the last four years to
more than equal the amount her cit! .
zens have invested in automobiles at
the present time, according to state
ments issued in the last few days
from state departments.
Prof Frank w. Blackmar of the

the governor which shows the liquor
bill for Kansas is approximately $29,-

for the same number of persons any
where else in the United States. Cur
It's w. Myers. in charge of the motor

number of tubes that were being pre-
sented to them for repairs because OF
a small hole within the radius OF an
inch or two Of the valve stems.
An official Of the Fisk Rubber com
pany says It Is quite common practice
for a motorst, in applying a tube ana
casing to the rim, to push the tupe
yalvo-stcms thru the hole in the rim
and then pull the stem thru as far as
possible. The beads of the casing are
then properly seated on the rim ana
II is locked and the air pressure put
in tho tube for initiating.
BY pulling the valve stem all the
way thru in the manner above men
toned, the valve spreadcr on the tubo
is tilted up on the casing bead in such
manner that the portion OF the
tube Is pinChcd between the spreadet
and the bead and as soon as air is ap'
piled the tube under pressure endeaV-
ors TO loosen itself from the pinch be
tween the sprcader and beads. Inc
result Is small hole in the tube.
often the valve stem does not polnt
straight ana the motorlst in endcaNof-
ing to straighten 1t, pinchcs the tube
as mentioned above.
70 avoid pinchinG tube In this
way the motOrist should proceed as
follows
Place the tube in the casing, inflato
tho tub with just enough air to round
it out so as to take on the shape of
the casing. apply casing to rim by
putting valve stem thru the hole in
the rim but do not pull IT thru, Just
stick the end thru the hole. II il
comes thru and further push IT back
so that when you place the tire on
the rim the valve stem spreader Will
be clear of the tire beads and avoid
pinchjng the tube at this point. The
main point in trying to avoid pinch
inE the tube is to make sure that tho
valve stem IS pushed back as far as
possible when applying the casing to
the rim.
