Storm Lake, Nov. 8.-The biggest
fish story yet comes from the lake this
week. Earlier in the fall the force Of
men who were seining the lake for
Charles Peterson made a record haul
Of five tons of bpffalo and carp. That
record stands no more, for this week
the men made a single haul of 10000
pounds or twenty tons. The largest
fish caught so far weighed forty eight
pounds and was buffalo. The SEM
ing shows that a great number of fine
game fish are in the lake, but they
have to be thrown back. The carp and
buffalo are shipped to the east in ex-
press cars. Two cars have been ship
ped this season. Last season 10000
pounds was shipped in addition to the
great number of fish that were sold
to persons who came in cars for them.
There is a ready sale for them in the
east, especially in New York and

dress before the state teachers asso-
citation today by State Superintendent
P. e. McClenahan. He urged teach
ing Americanism as the chief oppor-
tunity before the school teachers of

"The teacher in a public school to-

provided for the teaching of patriotism

realized the necessity of helping to

the necessity for better instruction
when they gave 100000 to help stand
ardize the rural schools. They under
stood the problem of education and its
relation to good government when

This warning was sounded yesterday
by Charles Webster state administra-

states to relieve the shortage.
Every householder must hoard every

Utilities Coal Helps.
The situation in this state was made
much better for the time being by the
order Thursday night allowing re-

It was still further improved by an
order received yesterday morning per-
hitting railroads to release coal to
dealers in cases where necessity pre-
vailed.
Fuel Administrator Webster wired
the orders from rail heads out to every
city in the state.
Many cities reported yesterday that

PRESIDENTS PLANS
 FOR THE FUTURE

Washington, February 2.-(Special0 Edward B.SMcLean, owner of the Wash ington Post, prints in the news column a singularly positive statement as to President Wilson's plans for the future.
 According to Mclean the President has notified his closeet friends that he would not accept the nomination for a third term, and that on retirement he would devote himself to literature. The gist of the statement follows:
 President Wilson has selected his fu- ture home and literary workshop, but he has not disclosed it's whereabouts. He will not accept the presidency of the North Carolina University. He wishes to be free to pursue his literary lators and historical researches.
 Tt is assumed by his family friends that he is gathering material for book or the presidency or at least on some phases of the executive office as they have appeared under his eye in actual performance of the executive functions.
 Beyond his decision to announce his intention to retire, President Wilson has not disclosed his plans, if he has formed any. That is, he has not given any hint of his attitude toward any persons who might be considered as elgibles to the line of presidential succession.
 Naturally, his family relationship to William G. McAdoo has caused much speculation regarding his leanings toward MT. McAdoo as his successor in the White

OBJECT OF MUSGROVES
 TRIP TO PARIS

Washington, February 2.-(Special)-1t is reported that the prohibitionsts sent L. B. Murgrove of Alabama, to Paris for two purposes:
 To urge the peace commissioners to in corporate in the peace treaty l provision for world prohibition, and to secure, at the hands of the commissioners. abro- gation of trade agreements under which one or another government might not in terfere with the sale of the products of one individual to legitimate purchasing individual.
 There is a tentative agreement between the United States and France to the lat ter effect. The prohibitionists were fear ful, it is said, that under such agree ment, the government could not prevent the sale of French wine to residents of American states not restricted by legis- laton denying possession of liquor.
 The fear of the prohibitonists was baseless. Authorities of the state de- partment unanimously agree that if the agreement between the two countries was ironclad it would be ipso facto re- voked by the incorporation in the con- stitution of the prohibition amendment.
 The trip of Colonel Musgrove,. however, might be of some fruit. Washington prohibitionists do not despair of the suc- cess of his efforts to require the Yer sailles conference to write world prohibi- tion in it's final treaty.
