General Rejoicing
There was general rejoicing at the
decision to include negroes in the
draft. There was renewed rejoicing
when Secretary Baker, In spite of great
opposition, decided to place colored
troops in the same cantonments with
white troops.
"Surely by his loyalty in the war for
democracy the negro will have earned
his fun share with white people of all
those advantages of public education
and protection which good govern
meents should provide.
ct love my race today more than
ever before because not a single negro
has been arrested as a spy. Absolutely
the negros have stood loyal to their
country.
at have told our young negroes at
Tuskegee and at Hampton to give their
country all their support and backing
SO that those boys-black. white and
red-in the trenches may know that
together with white people we negroes
are back of them. The negroes have
bought generously. "a DS4tJ

Creamery Notes.

a call made at the creamery this
week was instructive in that some
new butter making machinery was
noticed installed since our last visit
some months back. The product of
the Eagle River creamery is keenlF
sought for and tops the market wher-
ever sold. This satisfactory state Of
affairs is largely due to the operator
and manager, J. w. Herreman wh0
has broagh6 the patronageHp in three
years, from n small and money losing
proposition to a point where it is OPP
Grated at profit, and is one of the
most valuable assets of the entire
territory which supplies it with the
raw material. Although not yet run
ming to capacity due to sufficient
number of dairy cows in the hands OF
the farmers, yet the last three years.
has seen marked increase in that
respect and the time is not far dis
tant when the annual output of the
Eagle River creamery will compare.
favorably with that of plants located
in much older farming sections.

Fish and Game commission, in charge
of the fishery department for the past
thirty years. During that time he
has had charge of the various state
hatcheries and his capability is attest
ed by the length of service he has rem
dered in his present capacity.
There is nothing more instructive
in Wisconsin's program of conserya-
tion than a visit to the fish hatchery.
The various processes, from the TAX
ing Of the spawn from the live fish,
it's transportation to the hatchery, it's
attention during the period Of incu-
baton and it's final Matching, consti-
tute an interesting program, and with
Mr.. Mieilke's courteous explanations
to the uninitiated, d visit to the
hatchery is instructive and entertain
ing.
The benefits of fish, hatchery stu
ated in the heart of this fish and
game region are manifold. Judicious
restocking of the lakes and streams
insures the popularity Of this summer
resort section for all time and with
the hatchery centrally located as it is
here, there is an abundance of fry as
sured for local waters.

ELY MEMORIAL SERVICE
Touching Tribute Paid to the
Brave Son of DR.. and
Mrs. j. 0. Ely.

A very impressive patriotic memori-
al service was conducted Sun d. y
afternoon, at the summer home of
DR. and Mrs. James Owen Ely, at the
ST. Clair resort on Black Oak lake, in
honor of their son, Lieut.. Dinsmore
Ely, who was killed in an airplane ac-
cident in France, April q. He was
buried at Versailles, with full mill
tary honors, on April, "a. Lieut. Ely
was a young man q years old of
sterling quacities. He was a Junior
at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and left with the Boston
Technical Ambulance unit last June.
On arriving in Paris he was trans
ferred to the Franco American Avia-
Gion Corps, in which capacity he ac-
complished wonderful work Rev. G..
III. Waters of the Congregational
church of Eagle River officiated at the
services. The Lieut.. is survived by
his parents and one brother, Ro bert,
fourteen years old, student of Lake
emit. A number of friends of the be-
eaYed parents attended, cars from
Donaldson, State Line and Eagle
River numbering about fourteen in
all. After the patriotic address given
by Rev. Waters, music was furnished
by the Eagle River choif. The canoe
owned and used by Lieut.. Ely for years
containing his gun and camping out
fit and banked with beautiful floral
tributes, was draped with the Amer
lean flag and anchored in the lake just
below the cottage. After the services
loyal friends of the deceased loosened
the canoe, while Dr. Ely fired a mill
,tary salute as the canoe was toWed to
the point beyond, on which he had in
tended building his summer home
The canoe was there sunken in the
lake amid the waters he had known
and loved so we'll
A few days before Lieut.. Dinsmore
Ely, u. S, A., of Winnetka, was killed
in France in aviation service in the
foul sector, on April Il. he wrote a
letter to his, father, Df. James o.
ely. The letter reached DR.. Ely
yesterday. The conclusion of the let
ter was this:
sAnd want to say in closing, if
anything should happen to me, let's
have no mourning in spirit or in dress.
"Like Liberty bond, it is an invest
ment, not a loss, when man dies for
his country. 1t is an honor to a fam
lily, and is that the time for weeping?

rich in pleasant memories of my life
than numbed in sorrow at my death y

have a Y. M. G. A., good tents, cleo
trio lights in the mill and will soon
have them in our tents. We have sew
eral million feet of timber to cut in
our mill It is timber that has been
planted.
"This country was, years ago, Il
vast sand plain and has been re-
claimed by planting timber on it. 1t
is all done under forestry methods.
It is planted in large blocks varying
from thirty to sixty acres in each
block. Fire lines about three rods
wide run between each block. A for
ester (French) is in charge OF the
blocks.
'sThe war has taken all of the men,
however, so the French women do all
of the work. When each block is cut
it is replanted with young pine again.
The pine averages from eighteen
inches to three and one-half feet ina
'ture). The pine resembles our jack
piue of northern Wisconsin. The trees
are all tapped for turpentine. Every
tree is tapped and pitch pots are hang
ing on them. The underground is a
tall thistle. It is in bloom now with
yellow flowers. French briar, the
famous pipe wood, also grows here,
thick in the woods, besides holly.
soThere are no song birds. The
Frenchmen shoot them all for food.
In the markets Of French cities you
see birds hung on long sticks. The
birds are about the size of our wild
canarieS.

Memorial day takes on for all of.
us a new significance in this year
of grace. In past years we have.
laid our flowers ON the graves of
the dead in loving AMI patriotic
appreciation of the fact that they
saw their duty and did it. Today
the flowers will be laid as usual,
but they will be but Withered bios
SONS of the soul unless we lay
with them the determination to
do our duty in the crisis that con-
fronts our country, even as these
did theirs. 1t is a day for search
ing OF ones soul, for a purging of
all sloth and unwillingness to do
our part, of noble shame ut our
failure heretofore to live up to the
greatness of the opportunity which
exists for every real American.
1T is day for memory and man
hood.

Fish Hatchery Busy Place.

The state fish hatchery at Eagle
River began it's fourth season few
days ago under the management of Ell.
w. Mielke, the successful foreman
who has superintendent the hatchings
at the local plant each spring since it
was built.
During the operation of the Eagl e
River plant it has been discovered
that local Matching conditions for
pike are the best obtainable in the
state and as a result the 1918 season
will see the largest output of fry ever
made from the hatchery. Spawn from
the Minocqua and Tomahawk waters
is arriving daily for Matching at the
plant, the waters Of the Eagle chain
having been found to produce a high
er percentage than other waters. Last
years Matching reached the unprece-
denied figure Of SO per cent while the
best obtainable figure at other state
hatcheries has been about Il per cent
In view of this fact the State Conser-
walton Commission has made the de-
cision to hatch all pike spawn from
adjacent waters in the Eagle River
hatchery.
Under the management of Mr.. Mel
Ike this years output will excel any
previous record. In Mr.. Mielke the
commission has the right man in the
right place. Mr.. Mielle, whose home
is at Winneconne, has been with the
