FISHING PERMITTED.
@s~. In SHALLOW LAKES
Game Warden Gooden Will Inspect
Lakes Where Fish May Die
During the Winter

On account of the danger of fish
freezing out of shallow lakes during
the winter and especially in order
to increase the available food supply
and stop waste, the game and fish
commission is permitting promiscu-
Gus fishing in certain shallow lakes
about the state
Game Warden Goodell, of this dis
trict, has already opened for promis-
cuous fishing the lake a mile west of
Donnelly, and also a few sloughs
around Donnelly. The full list has
been posted in the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank at Donnelly. Mr..
Goodell has recently been in North
ern Minnesota, but letter from him
states that he will return next week
and as soon as he gets back he will
Investigate conditions in Stevens
county, and if there are any more
places where fish are in danger of
dying thru the winter, he will get
permit for the same and let the
people go ahead and get the fish in
any way they can. If any person
knows of any such slough or lake in
which the water is so low that the
fish will probably die during the
winter, he is invited to communicate
either with this office or with Mr..
Goodell
Mr.. Goodell is efficiency itself
when it comes to the game warden
game. In a personal letter, he writes
of his work in Northern Minnesota,
and tho the letter was not written
for publication, we feel sure that his
friends here will be interested in the
following extract
Have been working up in the
north country now for a couple of
weeks" says Mr.. Goodell in his let
ter, land am finding plenty of work
to do, and am doing it. made three
arrests yesterday. Two of the par
ties paid fine this morning of
$25.00 and costs each, and the other
man is coming in tomorrow to pay
his fine. 1 also got three rifles, one
revolver, and one headlight from
these persons. Have averaged bet
ter than one conviction day since
landed here. Most have paid fines of
$500 and costs and some have been
bumped $4,000 and costs. Have got
a conviction in every arrest I have
made and have seized over 20 guns,
one deer, some fur, traps, pack sacks,
head lights and other stuff that was
being used by violators."

One WAY to Save

The railroads find themselves very
short of cars at the present time and
the Hutchinson Leader suggests that
ony way to eliminate lot of SEEM
ingly unnecessary freight business is
for them to decline to haul -four in
to town in which there is a good
mill. At Hutchinson and the nearby
towns they have modern flour mills
making high-grade -four and yet
these towns are constantly shipping
-four back and forth, taxing the
transportation system when it is not
necessary. People can and should
use -four from their home mill and
help the car situation besides pat
ronizing home industry.
No doubt the same thing is hap
pening at Morris and the nearby
towns. Morris has one of the best
flour mills in the state, and by using
their product can make it unneces-
sary to ship -four in from outside
places.

WHERE ARE STEVENS
COUNTY BOYS LOCATED?
Correct Address Wanted of Every
Man From This County in Army
or Navy

This Office is very anxious to re-
wise it's "honor rolf and wants the
correct address of every man from
Stevens county now serving his
country in, any branch of the army
or navy. Parents and friends Of the
soldiers and sailors will do us a fav-
or by sending or phoning their ad-
dresses by the first of next week.
By doing this little service, you
will not only do us a favor but will
also render service to the boys
themselves, as people in this locality
are anxious to keep track of the
boys so they can write to them and
send them letters of cheer.
Attend to this at once and don't
wait for someone else to do it.
Besides The Tribune, the Christ
mas box committee are anxious to
learn the addresses of all the soldier
and sailor boys in order that they
may know where to send the boxes
they are preparing. Those having
the information are asked to write or
phone to Mrs. G. w. Geenty, chair
man.

cessary to procure a Red Cross nurse
for one week. The seals are now on
sale at various stores and will also
dren for sale and the more seals that
are sold the longer the Red Cross
nurse will stay.
The visiting Red Cross nurse
who will work here for week or
more, will carry on a careful exam
ination of each child in the schools.
She will examine their general
health, their eyes, nose, throat and
teeth. Each child will be registered
and a full report will be found on
his registry card after the nurse gets
through with him. If she finds the
child affected by adenoids, the par
ents will be notified or if in any
other particular he is not normal
the parents will be told of his condi-
ton. The nurse will give public lee
lures. if the public wishes them and,
no doubt, arrangements will be made
for at least one public lecture. She
can do a great good here.
The services of a Red Cross nurse
are given as a prize to the communi-
ties purchasing certain number of
Red Cross Christmas seals. The
money raised from the sale Of seals
is used to defray this expense, and
also to carry on the general fight on
tuberculosis in the state at large.
The greater part of the funds with
which to make war on tuberculosis
has been obtained for a decade by
the sale of Red Cross seals. This is
an annual pre-Christmas enterprise,
and war conditions have made it
necessary that more money than ever
before be raised in this way.
tuberculosis claims an annual
economic loss of wages alone, in the
United States or almost $500,000,-
900, much of which is entirely pre-
ventable. There could be no COM
mon effort more worth while.

ing of the horrors of war. Some of
the things he said were: THESE
men are doing their duty as citizens.
This is not war of men so much as
it is a war Of things. There is more
shot, shell and powder used in three
days in the present war than was
government is at present building
$4,000 airplanes to preserve our ma
tion and it is time for us all to take
our place in this great conflict. The
world is playing for big stakes and
it is privilege for these young men
to go out and play such big part
in the present conflict. Our boys
are in the trenches now and millions
more are going. We at home must
do our "bit" in the way of support
ing the Red Cross and the Y. M. c.
A. These institutions are doing un-
told good for the boys at the 'front.'"
Mr.. Murphy closed by saying, "The
principle of right and the principle
of might cannot both live at the
same time in this world"
James B. Ormond closed the eve
ning's program. He said, "It is with
a mingled feeling of pleasure and re-
gret that we say goodbye to these
young men, but we know they are
doing their duty and we honor them
for the stand they have taken. Our
cause is just and many will lose
their lives in order to preserve this
nation, but they will not have died
in vain. When the day comes that
war is over, some will return and
some not, but the dead will be hon
ored with the living"
After the program in the dining
room was over those present took
the opportunity of shaking hands
with Mr.. Stone and Mr.. Berkin and
wishing them goodbye and good
luck

Can't Enlist After December Is

According to a government an
nouncement no selected man can en-
list after December Is unless he can
produce papers from his local board
showing that his name is so far down
the called list that his chance of get
ting into the service are small. If
any registered man wants to enlist

Half Of the Company Return

Talking with Captain P. L. Spoon
er over the telephone yesterday, he
said that everything was quiet in
st. Paul and that half of each COM
pany of Guards now modified in st.
Paul we're to be sent home last night
with orders to report again next
Tuesday. The members of Company
A slept in chairs and on the floor at
the st. Paul armory on Wednesday
night, but all of the company are
we'll
Of all the outside companies, the
Morris company was the first to re-
port at the st. Paul armory Tues
day morning, and the only company
which came fully equipped with
blanket roll, overcoats, rifles and
ammunition. Sixty-three out of the
seventy-one members of the COM
pany we're present.
The company had the first two
meals at the st. Paul Hotel, and
since then are being fed at mess
at the old state capitol.
Yesterdays Pioneer Press gives a
number of personal items about the
Guard, from which we CLEAN the
following:-

floors were the~customary hunks for
soldiers, he conf1ded to his fellow
privates he would have brought
some real dope" for aches.
Samuel Siverts, city manager of
Morris, had the job. He was sta
toned to guard those 45-caliber
rifles which the Morris boys brought,
prepared to fight their way straight

COMPANY "A" CALLED
TO CITIES TUESDAY
Eleven Companies of Home Guards
in State Called to Help Pre-
serve Peace

At four o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
Company "a" Morris Home Guards,
received orders to report at st. Paul
as soon as possible and Immediately
the members began to make arrange
ments for their departure. Captain
P. L. Spooner called his men togeth-
er before supper and they received
their instructions and were ready to
take the train for the cities at mid
night.
When the Morris men organized
the Home Guards they did not dream
that they would go into actual ser
vice, but when the time came for
leaving every man was ready to go
and very few asked to be excused,
even tho their going meant a great
inconvience to their business. The
following morning some business
places were short as much as four
men and nearly every business home
furnished from one to two men. The
city seemed rather empty with so
many of it's men and young men
gone.
AS soon as it was known that the
men had to go, several women Of
fered to taketheir places in the busi-
ness section if it was necessary.
Wells Bros.-Hanson Co. were so
short that they called on Miss Minnie
Hanson to assist them, but as far
as we have learned this was the only
place that has not tried to get along
with the forces left. -@
In all eleven companies of Home
Guards were called to the cities from
the outside by Gov. Burnquist to as
sist the special deputy sheriffs and
special police of st. Paul in the pre-
servation of peace in connection
with the street car strike in the
Twin Cities. This strike was first
caused by the union carmen refusing
to take off their union buttons, as or
dered by the Public Safety Commis-
sion, and it has grown worse since
other unions have taken up the fight
Of the carmen and threatened gen.
eral walk-out. The officials of the
cities are preparing to prevent riot
ing and will no doubt be able to
handle the situation.

STRANGE SIGHTS AND
SCENES OF ENGLAND
Ed. Nelson Writes Interestingly of
the Things That Are Different
There

q. A Nelson, whose address is
now American Expeditionary Force,
Attached, IA Training Squadron, R.

bans, Kerts, England" writes most
Interestingly to his father about the
sights and scenes of England, and
thru Mr.. Nelson's courtesy, we are
enabled to publish Eds letter. He
says in part:
+ well, we got stationed at last
The squadron that belonged to was
broken up and the men were put in
different English squadrons all over
England. 1t sure did make us fell
lows feel bad. We had an awfully
/ good bunch of clean, good-natured
fellows. But such is army life.
'Fm stationed now in rather
comfortable place just out of London.
The barrack that I'm in is fairly
good. Heat is furnished by little
coal stove. The barrack is electric
lighted.
II have a nice place to eat. All
of us officers eat at an officers mess
hall while the privates eat at sep
arate kitchen. They feed us good.
Everything is fine over here.
''The country is just exactly like
that at home except it's more hilly
here than at home. The trees and
grasses are just the same as at home
The houses, tho, are sure different
Everything is red brick. They are
built so close together. In towns
gthey are built so that they use the
same walls. All are two story affairs.
When you look at a town here all
that you can see is gables and fues
or chimneys. The streets are all
paved. The farms are all blocked off
neatly, and hedges surround each
field. Say, they do look pretty, espe-
cially in Ireland. We could see
them so plainly on the hillside. We
sailed close to Ireland so we saw
quite bit of the shore line It's
awfully mountainous or cliffy there
tho. The tops of the hills were all
covered with snow.
zone thing that don't like this
country is that every night it rains
and all the days so far are cloudy and
misty, The fields are muddy and
sloppy.
"The railroad engines here look so
different from those at home. The
coaches are small and are divided
into compartments six wheel
ers at that. One set of two wheels is
at each end and one set in the cent
er. The freight cars are small-the
largest are only ten tons-about as
large as our motor trucks. They
cover their freight with covers. The
cars have no tops like ours. They
have springs just like our automo-
biles- only four wheelers.
Say, the English soldiers sure
treat us fine, tho. They call us
Sammies and we call them Tommtes.
They talk so funny it's quite a job
to understand them.

plane shops. We started today. We
begin at $3.50 and work until dark
There is plenty of work, all right.
1t sure will be good work for those
interested in engines, but I sure do
wish that I can get into the electrical
tho. I miss that work so much. This
work is all new to me. It will be
just starting all over.
How is everything at home. We
get no news here of the U. S. and
