boy to make the supreme sacrifice.

corah. Mr.. E. P. Shea, after consider
able correspondence, managed to. Sc

The American Legion is a worthy
organization and there is no doubt
but that 1t will prove to be a powec
in this country. It's principles are tru
ly laudable. Not only does it work for
the interest of the ex-soldier but for
the entire country as we'll. 1t is abso-
lutely non-sectarian and non-parti-
san. Those eligible for membership
are soldiers, sailors, marines, and
nurses who served in the late war
between the dates of April 6, 1917
and, Nov, IL, 1918, except those who
have been dishonorably discharged
and that have not been conscientious
objectors.
The Legion condemns the action
OF those responsible for protecting
the men who refused full military
service and MO were tried by court
martial, sentenced to prison and
later fully pardoned, restored to duty
and honorably discharged, with al
back pay and allowances given them;

PLEA OF BARNEY.
Head of State Marketing Bureau
Advises Boycott of Protiteers to

Says People Who Buy Expensive and

Des Moines, Ia.-Charging the
public with aiding and abetting pro-
fiteers in food and other commodit-
les by Paying outrageous prices
asked, w. B. Barney, chief of the
state, marketing bureau, yesterday
entered a plea for more nalf-soled
shoes and patched trousers.
IF the public were to rise up and
refuse to buy anything from the
profiteers, prices would soon come
down." he predicted.
He pointed out that retailers, who
are not to blame in most instances
for inflated values, would be but lit
tie affected by such a step. The stor-
age men, the commission men, and
other dealers in large quantities, on
the other hand, would find them
selves stocked up with thousands o.
dollars worth of goods for which
they would be unable to find a mar
ket.
Mr.. Barney, several weeks ago,
urged boycott on eggs in Des Moines
to bring the price down within hail
ing distance of that charged in sur
rounding towns and cities.
Investigation of illegal practices
in food handling will be extended to
dealers in clothing and shoes this
week, he intimated. Several inspect
ors of the dairy and food department
will be placed on this phase of his
statewide high cost of living probe
"Shoes which used to sell for $3.50
are now selling for s10.5o," he as
serted. .'The pair which I am wear
ing / bought several years ago at
the, former. price. placed them on
the scales and they weighed exactly
a pound apiece. The increase in
leather offers no excuse for such an
advance"
He believes that sugar prices will
fall following receipt of the supply
from the West Indies, some time
within the next two weeks.

facilities are at hand for Matching the
| fish. 1t is simply matter of collect
ling several hundred millions of eggs
| to be Matched per year. The state of
Wisconsin has : hatchery at Bayfield,,
| the u. S. Bureau of Fisheries one at
Duluth, the state of Michigan has one
at the Soo,. end the Canadian govern
ment has one at Port Arthur. With
these four stations situated as they
| are, there is every reason to believe
that if the eggs could be obtained,
| several hundred millions of fish could
be planted in the waters. Unless the
states interested get together and act
Immediately the whitefish industry will
become lost industry in Lake Super
| ior. The number of fish that are
being Matched and planted in Lake
Superior are very few in comparison
with the numbers that are being
| planted in the other great lakes.
The pound net has not been the
cause of the destruction of the white
| fish in Lake Superior, for when COM
pairing the number of pounds that are
caught in the lake with those caught
in some of the other lakes, the few
pound nets that are used in Superior
are not sufficient to cause the destruc-
ton of the fish. In Superior the gill
net is mostly used.
There has long been a closed sea-
son against the catching of whitefish
during the fall of the year when the
fish are spawning, and as the weather
conditions were so rough during the
fall of the year, the fishermen had to
cease operations even before the
spawning season began.
There seems to be no other way of
keeping up the supply of fish in our
Great Lakes except by artificial propa-
cation and net regulation.
During the last twenty years several
attempts were made near Outer Island
to catch whitefish to secure spawn.
To my knowledge not more than a few
hundred pounds were caught and the
fish not in a condition to be spawned.
The experiment was tried to see if
enough eggs could be taken to warrant
the expenditure of time and money on
a larger scale to secure a greater
number of eggs for propagation pur-
poses.
LAKE ERIE
Lake Erie has stood the strain the
best of any of the chain of lakes.
There are more pounds of whitefish
taken from the waters of Lake Erie
every year than there are from Lake
| Ontario, Lake Michigan, Green Bay,
and Lake Superior and Lake Huron
( combined:
The good book says, GAS a man
sows, so shall he reap" There have
been more whitefish fry planted in the
waters of Lake Erie each year for the
past thirty years than have been plant
ed in all of the other lake waters
combined, and the seeds that have
been sown have grown and borne fruit.
Attention fishermen: Whitefish eggs
will average forty thousand to a quart
measure, one million two hundred
eighty thousand to the bushel.---Note
the number of whitefish eggs that
were collected from the several lakes
this last fall and placed in the diff
ferent fish hatcheies situated on Lake
Erie-and about the same proportion
of fish fry planted back in the same
lakes each season. Is it any wonder
that the supply of whitefish is kept
up in Lake Erie.

HOME TOWN FEELING

Some people play lone hand. They
do not form much attachment to the
place where they live, and do not par
ticularly regret leaving it if they have
to move. And no one weeps any tears
when they pack up and go. They re-
spond to no calls for cooperation.
And no one feels any particular desire
to help them along. The community
gains little from their presence. And
town made up of that kind of people
is a dead one.
Then there are those who feel an
intense loyalty to their home town and
all the people living there, to all it's
undertakings and enterprises. 1t is
partly sentimental affection, partly a
keen sense of the practical business
value of cooperation and team work
Wausau has a lot of these folks. It's
progress is due to them. They feel
cordial interest in all our towns
people. You can depend upon their
hearty support for any community
project. Every local enterprise has
their backing. In so far as that idea
prevails, the town will realize it's pos
sibilities.
When this spirit exists, it is a
genuine pleasure to give preference in
all business dealings and purchase of
material, to anything that comes from
the home town. If a suit of clothes
sold here is just as good for the same
money, always buy it. One might
well buy it, even if it was little in
ferior. But thanks to our splendidly
stocked stores, that sacrifice is rarely
necessary. 1t is poor community
spirit and deficient team work to buy
stuff out of town unless we know from
investigation that it is not to be had
at home.
When town has this unified, COOP
erative, reciprocity spirit of team
work, you can't stop it. The compact
mass of people working for common
ends, will beat out a greater popula-
ton whose energies are divided and
scattered.
