GIVES EN- BAD RECORD
Appleton Sport Accuses Re-
sort Men of St. German of
Depicting Their Lake.

If one IS to believe all that APP
pears in an article below which
appeared in the Chicago Tribune
some few weeks ago, purported
to have been written by Grant
Phillips of Appleton, a regular
summer visitor here, then the
resort men of Big ST. German
lake, such as Amidee Chabrison.

John Hunter and Alex McGregor
must be pretty bad fellows for
this game fish territory.
Inquiry into facts show that
the writer has strayed from the
straight and narrow path of
truthfnlness and has made a de
cided black spot for the people
of the Big St. German lake re.
gion. Seems as though Mr. Phil
lips had best not of written the
following:
The lake is shallow and gets very
warm. The lake has under normal
conditions an unusual amount Of
bloom. There is a large number of
suckers and cisco'in the lake; these
fish are not wanted and are not fished
for, and a certain number will die a
natural death every summer. There
is Il dam on the lake which controls
the stage of the water A times the
water is drawn down nearly four feet.
and il this should occur when the
water is in bloom fish with low vitali-
~ or fish sick with protooxic parasites
die in great numbers.
In the last few years the lake has
just about been ruined for fishing,
and it will be several years before it
will get back to normal, if ever. Fish
of the pike tribe spawn on the bars
and along the shore. in rather shallow
water. For several years, Just after
he spawning season, the water has
been drawn down. leaving the spawn
on dry land.
The large pike with the eye gouged
out shows plainly the marx of the
spear. | have found many fish injur-
ed with spears. The illegal fishing is
not done by the tourist, but by the

OPERATE WINTER CAMP
A. S. Hoare of Camp Gran
leigh Now Operating Pri-
vate School for Boys in
Florida.

The report has been circulated
that Camp Cranleigh on Catfish
would not operate the coming

continue until the winter season
ends. Then he and Mr.. Rasmus-
sen will return to Eagle River
and place Camp Cranleigh in
readiHess for the coming seasons
run of bows on Catfish lake.
To verify Mr.. Hoare's state
ment that Cranleigh will oper-
ate as usual, the Camp Gran
leigh booklet is now being put
to press from this office.
This year the Eagle Chain of
Lakes will have in operation
three camps for boys-Camp
Cranleigh and Camp Winnepe
on Catfish lake and Camp Chi
copee on Cranberry lake. The
latter is the new BOYS camp
which DR.. II. II. Johnston and
John Harvey will establish per
manently. Plans tor extensive
building on the island in Gran
berry where the camp will be es-
tablished are now under way.

Training Men for Matrineny.

Training Men for Matrimeny.
A college professor says that men
should be trained for marriage.
Good idea.
The reason that marriage is SO
often a failure is because the men
and women who undertake the
greatest work in the world, that Of
making a home and rearing a
family. come to their jobs as raw
amateurs instead of highly special
lied professionals. This IL why
second marriages are more general
ly happy than first marriages. and
why widows land widowers. even II
they are of the. grass variety, are
a preferred matrimonial risk.
Undoubtedly. men should be
trained for matrimony; and IL 1
were directing the course of study,
I should begin with a kindergarten
study of bills. While a boys mind
was young, and receptive. / should
familiarize, him with grocery bills,
and butchers bills. and green gro
GERS bills, and doctors bills. and
rent bills. and millinery and. dress
making bills, and shoe bills, and
every, other kind of bill and i'll to
which matrimony Is heir.
Then when he got married II
would not come to him with such
horrible shock of disillusionment
that there is great. and almost
prohibitive price tag pinned to
family life, and that. man has to
pay for the privilege of having a
home and wife and children. It's
mean. cruel, underhand trick to
let an unsophisticated youth blum
der into matrimony without having
the least idea Of its cost.
He has been fed up on the lie that
two can live as cheaply as one, and
he has a general idea that there is
some special Providence that looks
after newlyweds, and feeds and
clothes them as the ravens did Eli
jah, and that, anyway. people who
are very much in love don't need
much food. He gets married on this
platform. and when he ascertains
that what was enough and plenty
for one isn't a third enough for
two. and that he has practically
sold himself into slavery to land
lords, and grocers. and dry goods
store proprietors. II Is no wonder
that he SO often rebels. and sours
on matrimony.
Then l would train a boy for
matrimony by having him make an
elemental study of justice. should
teach him that marriage Is q part
nership in which a man and woman
pool all that they have of heart,
and brain, and energy; and that
they are entitled to share equally
in the pleasures and profits Of the
venture.
1 would teach him that the wom-
an who does her duty as wife,
and mother, and home maker: who
bears children and rears them; who
haggles with tradesmen over bills;
and who cooks, and sews, and

TT is desirable and practicable
to have a Boys and Girls Herald"
George Raymond Dewitt. Western
High School professor, said yestsr-
day.
Stimulation Of school interest ana
pride through circulation of the
literary efforts of the students was
emphasized by Mr.. Dewitt as the
chief value of the feature.
IAN exchange of ideas is bene-
fetal for every school and the de-
sire to stand ace high is mani
Tested in the efforts of students in
all activities" Mr.. Dewitt explained.
IF the events Of a school are pub
lished and contrasted with the ac-
tivities of other schools, the one
viii naturally attempt to outdo the
other. Furthermore, new interest
will be centered in the schools by
the community public through pub
lication of the school affairs. The
need for school improvements is
common to all. To gain civic i'm
provements, put the idea before the
public. as the columns OF The Boys
and Girls Herald make possible" !"
Mr.. Dewitt added.
Secondly. the idea is practicable,
as The Herald is well equipped to
gather and circulate such news"
Mr.. Dewitt said.

oilities for The Boys and Girls.

basting her for extravagance. II
he wants his wife to be q cook who
is q crackerjack, he must boast OF
her achievements with the gas
range. instead Of grumbling over
her failures.
II he wishes freedom to come and
60 as he pleases. fnstead Of having
to punch the time clock. he must
proclaim aloud to his friends about
how liberal-minded she is, instead
of making a sneak when her back
is turned. And II he doesn't want
to buy her new hats and gowns, he
must refrain from criticising her
taste.
Then my student of matrimony
should acquire a nifty line of con-
versation. suitable for home con-
sumption. The reason that most
women get married is to get a COM
panion; and when they find out that
they are united to a dummy with
about as little entertaining talk as
a wax figure In a store window they
are naturally disgruntled.
Nothing would do more to make
cheerful and pleasant than
for men to be trained to collect
news, and disseminate IL in a pleas
ing and interesting fashion in the
circle Whenever. you find
a man who is jolly and gossipy at
home, and who takes the trouble
to scintillate as much at his own
table as he does at other peoples.
you will find a home in which mar
riage is a success.
Finally, I should teach a boy to
be tender with women, TO be sorry
for them, TO be gentle with them:
for there come times to every wom-
an When marriage is a failure TO

upon the tenderness of her husband
as she can upon the mercy of God.
