FINDS SKELETON
Bones Believed to be Those of a
Lumberjack Who Wore a Sum-
mer Suit of Clothing

While attempting to round up his
cattle for the night, John Bonavara,
at Mellen, discovered a human skele-
ton lying in a rear pasture on the
Barney Gehrmann farm.
The skull lay about five feet from
the body. Nothing was found on
the bones to give any tangible clue
toward Identification except a tattered
pocketbook, containing two matches
ad two pennies. Rotted remnants of
clothing indicate that the skeleton
was clad in mans summer suit. The
bones were bleached white, leading to
belief that they had been there for a
long period. The teeth were in good
condition.
1t is believed that the skeleton may
be that of a Mellen lumbenjack who
died while attempting to walk to the
Mellen Lumber company's camps.

MAY REQUIRE
HUNTERS TO
REPORT KILLS
Conservation Commission Has
Proposal for Assisting State
Keep Track of its Game

A brand new requirement for Bad
ger hunters will be proposed at the
next legislature. If the measure car
ries every hunter will be requirer to
furnish the conservation commission
list of all the game killed during the
season.
The plan as explained by Comnis-
sioner w. E. Barber, is one which is
now in effect in practically no state
except Minnesota but there it is re-
ported as giving high satisfaction. AT
the meetings held thus far on the deer
of 20 counties, the support of the pro-
pOsaI has been almost unanimous.
The advantage to the state of know
ing how many of each variety Of
game were killed during each sea-
son is apparent. This would give
an index into the situation with re-
gard to every animal and bird which
the game laws intend to conserve.
For example, Minnesota found that
one million ducks were killed last
year by hunters in that state Also,
although express concerns handled
only a small part, some 5000 Of the
number of deer killed, from these
reports it was learned that the ac-
tual total was four times that size,
about 10000.
1t has been a matter of conjecture
as to how many deer are killed in
Wisconsin. Express companies last
year reported 6,253. The ratio of
Minnesota would give about $4,000
Wisconsin has, however, less adequate
train servide and better highways
through the deer hunting belts than
has Minnesota, SO the total may be up
wards of 100000.

HOOVER SAYS
LACK OF SUGAR
WILL CONTINUE
Government Should Control Supp
ly Through Commercial Meth
ods Advised

Herbert Hoover, former food ad-
ministrator and candidate for the re-
publican nomination for president,
gave his views to congress Friday OF
the sugar and industrial situation.
Appearing before house commit
tee investigating the sugar situation,
Mr.. Hoover declared that the world
shortage of the product was likely
to continue for two or three years.
The pressing need was rationing, he
said, with immediate government
action to control the supply through
commercial, not legislative methods.
Mr.. Hoover criticized the methods
adopted by the attorney general,
saying that if he had been in the
latter's place, he certainly would
not have attempted such an opera
tion.' Prices never could be fixed
by threats of jail, he said, adding
that the proper course was through
commercial process.
In making reply to members who
wanted to know what should have
been done to keep the present high
sugar cost off the people. Mr.. Hoover
reiterated that the government
should have bought the Cuban crop
as we'll as the Louisiana crop and
that even now there was chance
to help by limiting the supply to nom
essential industries.
