LATER FISHING SEASON.

The open sason for taking pike,
pickerel, muskalonge, perch and other
varieties of fish in this state has been
set ahead fifteen days by the provis-
ions of a bill passed this week by both
houses of the legislature ami signed
by Gov. Preus. This means that it
will be unlawful to take fish of these
varieties until May Is. 1t is claimed
by those responsible for the new law
that the purpose of adding two weeks
to the closed season is to permit the
fish to complete their spawning and
to aid in keeping them from being
exterminated. Some of the local
sportsmen claim that the change in
the law will shorten the lake and
tourist season just that much, while
others say it will make no difference.
The latter faction argues that there
always is dull period after the first
rush of early fishermen and that un-
der the new arrangement a continu-
Gus season of activity can be looked
for after May 18th.

ND FOREST NOTES
(By the Superior Forest Ofice.)

E. v. Everett, who has been For
est Ranger on the Superior National
Forest during the past five years,
resigned on April first to take a pos
ition with the Brownell Meat Market.
It is understood that this position is
only temporary with Mr.. Everett
and that he plans in the near future
to engage in farming in southern
Minnesota and Wisconsin. II is re-
GREETED very much that Mr.. Everett
saw fit to leave the service, since the
loss of his very valuable services and
ability will be great handicap to the
administration of the Forest, espec-
tally in the Big Lake district m which
he has so prominently figured during
his stay with the service. The very
best of wishes for success go to Mr..
Everett from the personnel of the
Superior. Matt Soderback is sue
ceeding Mr.. Everett temporarily and
is at present continuing the work in
the Big Lake district.

RANGES PRAISED.
DISCUSSION CONTEST AND Elk.
TEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING
CONTEST LAUDED.

Glen Clark, state secretary of the
contests has written to the superin-
tendents and submitted a copy of his
annual report on these events. In
his account of the State High School
Discussion Contest and of the Extern
poraneous Speaking Contest in which
among other things he says:
Miss Louise Webb of Gilbert had
the disadvantage of having to speak
first. Her subject was "Shall Ger
many Pay the War Bill?" Her an
alysis was so excellent and her man.
ner SO refined and unaffected that it
was pleasure to listen to her.. Miss
Kelly of Mankato spoke second upon
the same topic. She had girlish
buoyancy and sincerity that easily
held the audience. Mr.. Erwin Sief-
ert's manner was modest and unaf-
fected. Miss Gasink of st. James
spoke upon 'The. Crime Wave with
perhaps more force and vigor than
any other speaker of the morning.
Her use of humor quite caught the
ear of the audience and the applause
was prolonged when she sat down.
Mr.. Peterson of Faribault did not
present anything very new in. sub
ject matter on the topic Success
through Failure, but his personality
his sincerity, geniality and earnest
ness and his thoroughly converse
tional manner of delivery was about
the best example of the true extemp
oraneous manner shown by any of
the speakers. Miss Pearl Paulson of
Chisholm spoke on "Shall the Nat
ions Disarm?" She spoke with sin
gular simplicity and refinement of
manner and excellence of thought.
Mr.. Harold Hoben, speaking for
North High, Minneapolis, upon the
topic 1.-The Law of Service easily
held the interest of the audience by
his excellent subject matter and easy,
unaffected manner.
''The judges rendered verdict of
Miss Paulson first, Miss Webb second
and Mr.. Peterson third Due to the
fact that one judge sent in only a
partial verdict it was at first an
nounced that Mr.. Peterson had won
second. But when complete decision
was in it was discovered that Miss
Webb was only one one point behind
Miss Paulson in the total ranking
At the urgence of Miss Webb, and
with consent of the judges. SIR. Pet
erson was allowed to t,eeo the silver
medal awarded to him and second
medal was struck off for Miss Webb.
''Thes Discussion Contest was the
most interesting piece of forensic
fireworks that Minnesota has seen in
many a day. All six speakers spoke
with the sincerity Of conviction, four
choosing to uphold the tonnage tax
and two to oppose it. Mr.. Abe Kar-
hnsky made the third in a remark

& LEAVE FOR ENGLAND.


Mr.: and Mrs. John Bailey leave
tomorrow for London, England,
where they will reside in the future.
1t is with regret that the people of
the city learn of this move on the
part of Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey who in
their residence here have made a
host of friends who. join in wishing
them every possible success in their
new home. Mr.. Bailey is not in the
best of health, gradually losing his
eyesight and returns to his old home
in England in the hopes of improving
the same. He is a veteran of the
Boor and World War and the pos
SCISSOR of several medals of bravery
and service.

outlining what improvements were
necessary for the best interests of
the tourists and the Importance of the
already vast amount of recreational
resources. This statement created
considerable interest to number
of the visitors present who thus far
had not learned of the future recre-
ational plans for the Superior Forest
and expressed themselves pleased to
learn the facts.
Mr.. Lawry, Office engineer of the
D. M. & N. Ry. gave a brief and in
teresting talk on recreation and being
very ardent Boy Scout worker,
spoke from the Scouts viewpoint in
the manner in which several troops
returned from this North country
last summer and dwelt on the good
times had by all concerned.
The next important discussion on
the program during the second day
was the period devoted to the coop
Grafton between the Forest Service
and the State Fish and Game depart
ment. Mr.. Carlos Avery, safe fish
and game commissioner, gave very
interesting talk on the protection of
fish and game within the State of
Minnesota. Mr.. Avery also dis
cussed the cooperation which was
being received by the fish and game
department from the Forest Service
and hoped that greater results would
be obtained in the future.
All members present were guests
of the Duluth Commercial Club, at a
luncheon given in the club rooms on
the second day of the meeting.
The Minnesota State Forest Ser
vice had large representation at
both days sessions. Supervisor
Weber and Assistant State Forester
Tierney gave some very valuable
talks on the various phases of work
as followed by the State Forest Ser
vice. Other state Rangers also adj
ded interest to the occasion by stating
their experiences along certain lines
of work. Those Game Wardens
whose territories adjoined the Sup
erior Forest on all sides were present
and all gave interesting talks on the
progress of the work that was devel-
oping for the protection of game
and fish. Supervisor Dahlgren was
in charge of the meeting on the after
noon of the second day.
John McLaren from the District
Office closed the meeting on the Sec
ond day by very pointed and ms
tructive talk on fire prevention in
which he brought out the favorable
cooperation which was being received
from the various organizations with
which the service was coming in
contact. Mr.. McLaren lauded the
cooperation being received from the
state service and the fish and game
department and other organizations
At this time Mr.. Filiatrault stated
policy of fire and game protection
could be developed by the Minnesota
Automobile Association, if Flying
squadron" could be organized, COM
posed of the most prominent automo-
bile men in Minnesota-men who are
prominent citizens and who are de-
voted to the protection of wild life
and the prevention of forest fires.
The fact that so much interest was
being shown for fire prevention and
game prevention and game protection
which previously had not been re-
ceived with any great amount of
enthusiasm, was revelation. All
forest officers returned with a better
feeling of cooperation and more in
clined to continue their work with
considerable more interest.

Declaring that the war isn't over

are trained to be self-supporting, an
American Legion folder being mailed
to 10000 Minnesota business men
tells them how they can cooperate
with the Federal Vocational Board,
Minneapolis, with view to offering
every disabled buddy a chance to
learn new trade or profession.
Legionaires and ex-service men of
Minnesota are especially fortunate in
having behind them the women who
stood by them and cheered them to
victory during the dark days of 1918.
These women, banded together in
The American Legion Women's Aux
iliary, are not talking much, but their
actions speak louder than words, as
many a disabled buddy in hospital
knows. Many are the deeds of low
ing kindness these women find time
to do for sick buddies lying on their
beds of pain. Whatever a disabled
comrade wants, he has only to whis-
per into the ear of one of the Legion
Auxiliary members who visits him,
and in short time he will receive it
by mail from some member of the
Auxiliary in the country, who con-
siders it a labor of love to be able
to minister to his wants and desires
in any way.

SILLY SEASON BILLS

Summer, apparently, is not over.

A bill has been introduced in con

personating king or queen in play

not more than $1,000 and imprison

that those who do so, together with
the producers who induce them to
make these representations, are guilty
