ARRESTS FOR VIOLATION OF
STATE GAME LAW.
State And Federal Authorities Co
Operating to Break mp Shooting Of
Wild Fowl--Penalty Before United
States Court viii Be Severe.

Upon information received at the
Office Of State Game Warden E. Lee
LeCompte, in the Munsey Building
Baltimore, on Wednesday, July 16,
Deputy Game Wardens James Tenn
pie and William T. Collins were sent
to the marshes in Hurleyss Neck to
investigate the report that ducks
and wild fowl were being shot there.
AS the result of their investigation
Messrs. Ware Hurley and Hyland
Jones were arrested upon the charge
of shooting wild fowl during the
closed season, and also for hunting
without license. They appeared be-
fore Police Justice ". Murray Suli-
vane and Mr.. Hurley was found
guilty and fined $50 and sosts.
There have been numerous re-
ports to the effect that shooting OF
wild fowl was going on in violat on
both of the State and Federal laws
and the State Game Warden's De-
partment is determined to break up
the practice. In order to break up
these violations State Game Warden
LeCompte has recently stated that it
is his intention to turn over all such
complaints and cases of persons
found shooting wild fowl before
November LIST, to the United States
Court for prosecution.
If there are any such persons, any
where in this county, they will do
we'll to cease the activities at once,
as breaking the laws of the United
States constitutes much moe seri-
GUS offense than the breaking OF
local laws, as the government knows
no friends nor enemies in prosecur-
ing violations of the law, and the
penalties imposed in the United
States Courts are much more severe
than those of the local courts.

VALUE OF SAVINGS
BECOMES APPARENT
One OF Great Lessons Of War 10 ThaA
OF National and individual Thrift
NoW Rapidly Growing

Now that the new German govern
nent has accepted the inevitable, and
has officially signed the peace terms
dictated BY the allies and the coun-
tries associated with them, the great.
est and most disastrous war that ever
scourged the world 10 ended.
For nearly I'VE years the world has
been topsy-turvy. The things that
were needed yesterday are NO longer
required. and the activities Of the
great war establishments and muni-
ton plants are being diverted to the
manufacture OF implements OF peace.
There must now be read1ustment.
Governments that have thought In bill.
lions and spent money with lavish
hand, must retrench and think in mil
lions and even smaller amounts, and
must gain new perspective.
Viewed In the retrospect the part
played by America in the great world
war is one Of the most glorious chap
ters in history. And in the making OF
this brilliant history the plain Ameri.
can citizen played stellar role. The
mountains of munitions. the equip.
ment for the millions Of soldiers, the
great ships that carried the men
across the ocean. could not have been
provided had not the common people
Of America provided the money.
Much Of this money was obtained
through the sale Of Liberty Bonds
and War Savings and Thrift Stamps.
This great volume of money has not
been wasted. First it brought perma.
nent peace to the world, and now that
real peace is here. every cent that was
so invested will come back to those
who aided their government, and II
will come back with interest
This war that is now happily ended
has taught the people the value Of saw
ing. They went into the saving
game as much through patriotism as
anything else. But now that they are
reaping the returns. and see that what
they did with patriotic motive 10 Q
real foundation for future fortune,
they have gained new confidence in
their country, and they will continue
to buy the securities the Treasury De
partment offers, and win make the
country MANIFOLD more prosperous
than it would have been had not the
war instilled the lesson that viii prove

Americas greatest educators are
supporting the move made by the

President Emeritus Charles w. Eliot

education because of the time wasted
in teaching a system so much more
complicated and difficult than the

men and teoms at WORK hauling
gravel for the Four mile creek
road and this is being put in
piles along the road for work
next spring. In beginning this
work>during the winter season
the Road Commissioner and the
Com mittee are acting wisely for
gravel can be hauled to better
advantage over the frozen roads
and it will be on hand when
needed in the spring. This road
is in. awful condition for travel.
An attempt was made to fix it
last season but the work proved
a failure and it was necessary
to do something with the road
in order to preserve it.

The Alumni basket ball team
from this city went over to Ash

they contested for honors with
the fast Union Club team of that
city. According to the score as
reported the game must have
been entirely one-sided for the
Ashland team piled UP a total of
62 points against 8 for the Wash
burn boys.
The Washburn boys showed
a lack Of condition and team
work and they missed many
chances to score. They promise
with a little more practice to
make a better showing against
the Ashland team and another
game will likely be arranged in
the near future.

piece.
The bill introduced by Con-
gresham Nelson is as follows:
"Be it enacted by the Senate
and the House of Representa-
tives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled,
That the Secretary of War be.
and he is hereby authorized and
directed to donate to the city of
Washburn, State OF Wisconsin,
one cannon or field piece cap
tured by the American Army
from the forces of the Imperial
German Government during the
present war.
