The Pioneers

They are going fast, the pioneers;
and in their going we ale losing sturdy
lot of men. Tine is taking it's relentless
toll, and ore by one like the giants Of
the forest, they are dropping down.
They were men of vision, these pioneers.
They had the spirit of adventure in their
souls, and they were forerunners Of
civilization. From the virgin forest
and untouched prairie, they hewed out
homes for themselves. No danger was
too great for them to face, no privations
too severe. They came when the
country was at it's rawest and most prim-
tive, and even as they built their cabins
of sod and of logs, they had the vision
of the great commonwealth that was to
be- They anticipated the future, and
the blessings and the PRIVILEGES that We
enjoy today are largely due to their
fortitude and their perseverance. They
were horny-handed, but soft-and]arse-
Hearted men. They labored ceaselessly,
and yet their labor did not sour them,
for they always had time to extend a
friendly hand, or to perform neighborly
function. Honesty was their watch
word, and no men were more honorable
in their dealings one with another. The
pioneers are going fast now, but their
memory will ever be enshrined in the
hearts of a grateful people. -Winnebago

scales and establish employment
bureaus.

under the draft law. This is to
do away with the great dissatis-
faction in communities with a
large alien population, some Of
which were drained of their
American men by the first draft
call, while aliens were left to take
the jobs of the selected men.
Chamberlain's bill will compute
quotas ON the number of men i'm
class one. As aliens as we'll as
citizens had to register, this
would take in the entire populaA
ton.
The same measure removes
legal obstacles to the drafting of
men i'm the class i'm which they
are placed by their answers to
the questionnaires.

There will be no unnecessary
delay in the appointment of a
United States senator from Idaho
To fiji the seat left vacant by the
late James II. Brady. Along lines
of proper propriety, Governor
Alexander will act i'm compara-
lively short time. This fact was
learned from the states chief
executive, who took occasion to
express his deep sorrow which
ne considers untimely and COM
ing at an unfortunate period
when the state should have the
fullest representation i'm the up
per halls of congress. II is be-

Fish Biting Better at Cobbosseseon'
tee,

Reports received from Cobbossee-
contee thus far this week indicate
that the fish are taking hold better
al present than thy have been at any
time since the spring fishing season
opened. and the record shows that
several good catches have been made
this week that will attract the atten-
ton OF fishermen.
Beginning with last Saturday. Mr..
and Mrs. Morris Fish of Hallowell,
who were with boy out with
Charles Ogden, landed a fine string
of pickerel. perch and trout, the
three trout caught weighing 13a
pounds.
Late Tuesday afternoon Perley NJ.
Lawrence was out little while, but
with his usual good luck when it
comes to fishing he landed a salmon.
There was no means at hand for
weighing the fish but those who saw
it were of the opinion that it must
surely have weighed 81 pounds
Elmer Merrill also landed three
trout on Tuesday and On Wednesday
morning Fred Cloutier while fishing
a little while landed trout that
would weigh about two pounds.
