THEY DIDN'T CONSERVE
Conservation Officials Failed
To Heed Their Own Ad-
vice To Shoot Only Bucks
Does and Fawns Suffer.

Prior to the opening of the
deer season the conservation
commission of the state of Wis
consin sent out word for every
sportsman to conserve the deer,
that is, not to Shoot does and
fawns. Now Information comes
to US that some of the state for
estry employees, possibly ran
ger-warden, somewhere over IN
the neighborhood of the head
quarters camp, didn't conserve"
but bagged any sex and age of
deer that came within gun range.
The one buck law in force up
to this wear was we'll liked by all
good sportsmen, except game
hogs, and was working finely in
the protection of does and fawns
all over the hunting district of
northern Wisconsin. Why the
commission permitted the change
! to be made to include every size
and sex of deer and then ask the
sportsman to clay off, is more
than the average sportsman can
understand. The $50 non-resl-
dent license and the last ten days
open season didn't prove out
worth picavune. Michigan
cleaned up on the nonresident
fee to the detriment of W1scon,
sin. And holding the season or
the last ten days of November is
surely mistake. Why not put
the season in the middle OF that
month for period OF ten days.

Friday morning the soldier boys
were given a rare treat. The Com
stock-Elliott Company, playing at the
LaSalle theater, Chicago, came out to
camp and presented the musical
comedy, ''Oh Boy" This perform
ance was given as a complimentary
offering to the soldiers of the .. S.
army. A certain percentage of the
men in each company and regiment
in Camp Grant attended this show
which was very good production.
The show was highly enjoyed by
all. French and English officers who
have been cover the top" also attend
ed. These officers are detailed to the
camp as instructors.
There were about 1900 men in uni
form at this production and when the
orchestra started ''Goodby Broadway,
Hello France" one and all joined and
sang with them. The American sol>
der is fast developing into a good
singer. When the finale was sung by
the company the soldier boys gave
them a tremendous send-off. lmag-
inc fifteen hundred voices doing their
bit. Enthusiasm knew no bounds.
This alone will convince this country
that it has good Americans.

1t is rather amusing TO see how
some people worry about their boys
in the army. Some think that there
is scarcity Of food in the training
camp. Some boys get disheartened
sometimes and write home that they
do not get enough to eat. This is not
true. There is plenty for all. In
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1917-12-05

During the last few weeks several
serious things have occurred not only
without but within. There have been
somes who have written home that
conditions in the training camp are
very bad. Some have also gone to
the extent of complaining to every
CIVILIAN they had an opportunity to.
1t is needless to say that these things
90 on for some time and then the
sudden end comes. The great trouble
with some is that they believe every
thing they hear, especially from I'M
authoritative sources. When they
believe rumors this causes a great
deal of enjoyment for the Boobies. \
great many stories are being circula>
ted regarding the Red Cross. When
ever the Red Cross sends something
to the soldier boys, they get it. The
story is that the officers help them
selves to everything the boys ought
to get. This may be true in the Ger
man army, but not here. 1t is
falsehood. The person who carrie:
this story around is worse than 8
German spy. That is not all Some
even believe and also make others be
Ecve that here at Camp Grant thu
men do not get enough to eat. Als'
that when the folks back home sene
their boys good things to eat the,
never get it. The story is that tn
officers get the mail first and that
the end of the good things. That l
another deliberate falsehood 1t /
inconceivable to understand how an.
man claiming to be an American cal
tell such tales.

Barr observed tersely that it was what a certain noted general once said war was.
 Happily, those sou-trying days are now only memory, and Mir. Barr is thoroughly enjoying a we'll earned rest His desk is no longer approached in awe as a court of last resort, but is equally as available to friends of the institution, or visitors who may drop in. for merely a pleasant chat, as to those who seek official counsel, Only during banking hours, however, for almost every afternoon that the weather permits, this dignif1ed director may be seen, though perhaps not at first recognized, in all the glory of golf toggery, chasing the festive ball over the green in boyish abandon. There is a tradition, too. that he possesses a most comprehensive golf vocabulary, though in the absence of actual knowledge this accomplishment is not vouched for.
 Tt is not to be inferred however, that Mir. Barr's sole relaxation is golf. He has long been valued member of the Southern and Country clubs, and also be- longs to the more recently organized Roe buck Golf and Auto club.

 MT. Barr has also been a member of the Chamber of Commerce for many years, and is always interested in any civic movement of importance. In such councils his opinions carry weight, for nowhere is his impersonal and judicial consideration of any issue more fully recognized or appreciated
