Mayor Meredith F. Snyder of Los Angeles E,nlists Fighters to Com- bat Excess Profits.


 bat Excess Profits.
 Los Angeles, Cal. June 25.-A plan to enlist 12,O0O American Legion members in Los Angeles in a cam paign to reduce the high cost of liv- ing, under tho direction of the city markets bureau was recently an- bounced by Mayor Meredith P. Sny- der.
 The mayor said he proposed to close the city's chain of markets to the sale of produce which has gone through the hands of middlemen. Farmers in surrounding territory, un- der the proposed system. would be invited to send their produce direct to the markets and aid furnished them to do so by the city if neces- sary.
 The success of this plan would depend upon there being an imme- diate sale of the products" the mayor continued. 'To that end we intend to lay our plans before the two local posts of the legion and ask the members to help secure custom CTS. The result, I am confident, will be that the farmers will get much better prices and the consumers will get better food at less cost than they do now"

He was tracked to Henry Mellow

OPENING DATES FOR HOOK

Trout of any variety, My l.
Black bass, large and mall mouth
ed (also known as green bass, moss
bass, yellow bass, pink-eye bass, Os-
wego bass), July 1.
Any other variety, June 1.
Note that the legislature of 1920 ex-
tended the opening date for black
bass fishing to July 1. Do not for
get that this year fishing with hook
and line will not be permitted Decor
alton day. The opening date is on
June 1.
For black bass the 1920 season does
not open until July 1. When you take
your tackle on June 1, keep out OF
the bays, sloughs and shallow places
where the bass spawn-keep out OF
the place where you have been accus-
toned to go on May 20, to cast for
bass (and catch them off the spawn
ing beds). You surely know that il
you fish in such places you are going
to hook a bass in violation of the
1920 laws You will not hook picker
ell or pike in such places. Until July
1. you must do your fishing in deep
water.
If you accidentally hook a black
bass. wet your hands before you at
tempt to remove the hook and after

Reviewing the Wisconsin campaign
against the social disease menace, the
quarterly bulletin of the state board
of health warns against the disas-
trous results of tabooing public dis
cussion. The old attitude of hypo-
critical silence must be abandoned,
the public educated, and a public sem
timent aroused which will demand OF
public officials that the same princi-
pies of reporting and when necessary
isolation which are applied to small
poX and other communicable diseases
shall also be applied to venereal dis
eases, the bulletin declared. The rap
id spread of this scourge within the
last two decades is held to be dlmln-
ishing life expectancy, not stopping
with the individual but victimizing
his children as we'll.
The watchfulness of the pet aire-
dale of Carl Wenderoth of Kenosha,
was responsible for the saving of the
lives of he and his three children,
when the Wenderoth home was de-
stroyed by fire. The dog scratched at
Wenderoth's door and parked until
the master awoke. 1t was 3 o'clock
in the morning. Mr.. Wenderoth got
out of bed and opened his door to
find the home filled with smoke and
flames bursting out in half dozen
places. He rushed into the next
room, where Annie, Z, Carl, 5, and
Freddie, 8, his children, were asleep
He took the girl under one arm and
the two boys under the other and
rushed through a wall of flames to
safety. After taking them to a neigh
boris home, Mr.. WenderOth returned
but the home was then past saving
None of the children were injured
but the father suffered severe burns
about the neck and shoulders.

First drink, then dope. then sui

sordid tale has run hitherto.
There are of course inmeIable
avenues through which drink is still
distributed, even in localities which
supposedly have been dry for years,

pie as evidence of the futility of at
tempting prohibition. There is also
