JUST FISH STORIES

Prosper Stein sure did land
fell blow TO the aspirations of one
Doc Meyer, who has been a thou
sand per cent chesty over his
pound speckled trout, caught
some moons ago by himself.
Prosper has been tickling an old
he-guy down on the little crick
furninst the power dam, the same
being a suburb to the Wisconse
rive Oh a mighty small scale. He
has tickled the old sport so long
and so often that he 1.-THE trout
concluded Prosper was as easy
mark as Bob Dyer. Anyhow,
Stein hooked the old boy a couple
weeks ago, but lost him. Sunday
he QUILTED in the most up-to-
date manner and put the hooks to
him. This trout weighed in at
two pounds eleven ounces, and he
therefore is king of all trout
anglers at Larry's Electric Shop.
Might add, although it don't
sound good after mentioning and
seeing the big fellow, that Pros
per had several others in his creel
that were mighty fine brook trout.
Fish seem to be laying off some
these hot days-and you cannot
blame 'em either. Too hot for the
hard-boiled sport TO sneak in the
brush, or stand out in the mea-
dows where the sun has a chance
to boil your bald pate to a crisp.
F. A. Scanerhorn tells a mighty
good one, and the best of it is,
there is no chance TO refute the
statements he makes, on account
of Mrs. Scanerhorn vouching for
the veracity of her husband. Re-
Gently Mr.. S. saw a musky near
his house boat. One cast of his
lure and the fish landed on 1t,
made a dig for the tall uncut, but
bumped his nose upon a scow
tethered close by, and was put
out of the running. The fish
weighed % pounds and Scaner-
horn is of the opinion he has IN
augurated a new but not scien-
tific method of battling success
fully the big boys.
From Swamp lake. that big
body of prime fishing waters
wherein is located the Roghan &
Smith resort, comes the word
that the big brand of pike are
taking the lure right. IT'S said
that anglers last Sunday took a
hundred pounds of pike from that
lake. the smallest weighing six
hounds. the largest eight. That
would mean about fifteen fish IN
the catch.
Manitowish waters are produc-
ing. F. w. Mcfarland of Chicago
took a 30 pound musky from
Spider; A. II. Habhegger of Mil
waukee. a % FOUNDER, and II. b.

Easter Services at st. Mary's Church.

Easter, March 27, 1921, dawned
bright and clear. Early in the morn
ing seekers after the Risen Lord were
vending their way to the churches of
their denominations. AT St. Mary's
church first mass was celebrated at
half. past seven o'clock by Father
Weyer The children's choir sang
beautiful Easter hymns. At ten
O'Clock high mass Father Weyer de-
livered two splendid sermons, one in
English and one in German, appro-
plate to the Easter festival, which
were very inspiring. Mrs T. F.
Keefe deserves special credit for her
splendid success as organist and di-
rector of the large choir, which rem
dered the mass in ID, by J. e. Stehle,
and the Gregorian chant in manner
that was unexceIled for artistic and
devotional qualities. The solemn
beauty of the affairs with a
profusion of fragrant flowers, the
many little altar boys in the sanctu-
ary, and the throng of people present
at the services, all seemed to join in
the halleujah chorus of praise to
God. Solemn benediction of the
blessed sacrament and singing of the
TIE Deum closed the edifying service.
The services during holy week were
also well attended especially the pas
sion service Friday afternoon. The
sermon delivered then by Father
Weyer on the Crucifxion was highly
praised.

Almost as regularly as clockwork
we read in the daily press where
some millionaire is suing his wife for
divorce, or is being sued himself, or
both. Generally there follows a mass
of moral filth that is amazing and al
most beyond belief. Like dirty linen,
it all comes out in the wash, but un-
like the linen, the principals can hard
ly lay claims to purity as a result of
their legal bath. This is queer
world. AS long as men are poor they
are able to live comparatively decent
lives. But let great wealth come
their way and they Immediately be-
gin to yearn for the vices and frivol-
tiles it will buy. It would be far bet
ter for the human race if we were to
forego a majority of the pleasure"
of wealth and retain the respectable
ity that is inherent in mankind in the
days of his poverty. Millions and
morality do not always harmonize.-

SERVICES
At st. Paul's.

The services at ST. Paul's during
Holy Week were well attended, the
church being almost filled at every
service, and showed that our people
entered into the spirit of the Lenten
season.
Easter Sunday broke all previous
records for attendance at both
masses. The splendid rendition of
Rosewig's Mass by the choir, under
the direction of the organist, Miss
Maud Keyes, added to the solemnity
of the service.
The ladies of the Altar society had
the church beautifully decorated
with Easter lilies and carnations.
The Pastor, Father O'Reilly, spoke
on the Resurrection as the triumph
of the Risen Savior.
The generous Easter offering was
an expression of appreciation of the
services of the pastor.

Universities Must Grow.

The university of Idaho is asking
for $1,250,000 for this year. The
university of Minnesota is calling for
an emergency appropriation of
$1,610,00O.
These universities, like the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin have curtailed
every expense during the war for pa
trlotic reasons. Repairs have waited
new buildings have been delayed, and
necessary expansion has not been
made. The time has come when
these things must be done if the
plants are not to deteriorate, and if
the universities are to meet the obli-
cations imposed upon them by their
greatly increased enrolment.

Reliable Clothier.

Four more sections of concrete
stand, with seating capacity of 1000
spectators, will be added to the ath-
letic stadium at the University of
Wisconsin this spring. The cost will
be borne entirely by the receipts of
the 1919 and 1920 football games,
which have earned between $4,000
and $35, 900 for the building fund.
The new sections will be on the
east side of the field just south Of the
old wooden grandstand and will in
crease the seating capacity of the
field to $4,000. Ten tunnel en-
frances will also be added to the west
stand.

He is Risen."

This glad announcement and proc
lamatiOn brought genuine joy and
gladness to more TINA sixteen hum
dred people who worshipped at the
First Congregational Church on Eas-
ter Day. The interior of the church
presented an unforgettable scene in
it's Easter raiment of color, bloom
and fragrance, and nodding lily and
waving fern added their silent mes
sage to the spoken song, Christ is
Risen" Never were the Easter con-
gregatiOns so large; never, was the
Easter offering more generous, and
never was the faith of the member
ship in Christ stronger than on this
Easter Day. The Easter music and
singing by the different choirs and
orchestra brought all hearts into up
lift and rejOicings. At the morning
service thirty-fve people were well
coined into church membership;
making a total Of two hundred and
ten who have come into relationship
with this church in the past two
years and half. The Easter of
1921 will always stand forth as a red
letter event in the minds Of all those
who bowed in reverenc and worship
before the Risen Christ in this
church on that day

Facts Regarding Schools of the
County of Interest To Taxpayers.
The supervising teachers of the
county are elected by the committee
on common schools, and their salary
is paid by the state. The committee
is chosen by the county board. The
county superintendent has no voice
in this matter.
In spite the increased cost of sup
plies and the increase in travelling eX-
penses, the expense of my office for
1919 was less than in 1917. In 1920
the amount was within $50 of the
1917 figures. Compare your local
school expense for 1920 with that of
1917, and you will see how much
this means, as in most districts the
expense was doubled.
With a teacher shortage of about
33 1-3 per cent IN the rural schools
only one school in the county closed
on this account.
My experience in handling school
affairs will mean saving to you for
the coming year.
Your vote will be appreciated.

DEMANDS PEACE
BEFORE TRADE
Hughes Replies to Soviet Rus
sia's Business Advances.
FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE FIRST
Resumption of Commerce With the U.
s., He Declares, Depends on the
Ending of Strife, and Pro-
lection of People.

Washington, March 26.-Resump-
ton of trade relations with soviet
Russia will depend upon satisfactory
assurance that fundamental changes
are contemplated involving due re-
gard for the protection of persons
ana property and the establishment
OF conditions essential to the main
tenance of commerce" Secretary
Hughes says in a message sent to
the Russian soviet representative at
Reval.
The message is in reply to the re-
cent appeal Of the soviet government
at Moscow that the United States
again trade with Russia and that it
negotiate with delegation to be
sent to this country for the purpose
by the soviet authorities.
The note was transmitted through
the American consul at Reval, as the
original message from the soviet gov
ernment was received from the soviet
representative there.
Note Expresses Sympathy.
1.-THE government of the United
States," says the communication,
views with deep sympathy and grave
concern the plight of the people Of
Russia and desires to aid by every
appropriate means in promoting
proper opportunities through which
commerce can be established upon a
sound basis. 1t is manifest to this
government that in existing circum-
stances there is no assurance for the
development of trade, as the supplies
Which Russia might now be able to
OBTAIN would be wholly inadequate to
meet her needs and no lasting good
can result so long as the present
causes of progressive impoverishment
continue to operate. It is only in the
productivity of Russia that there is
any hope for the Russian people and
1T is idle to expect resumption Of
trade until the economic bases of pro-
ductiOn are securely established.
Production is conditioned upon the
safety Of life the recognition by firm
guarantees of private property; the
sanctity of contract. and the rights of
free labor If fundamental changes
are contemplated involving due re-
gard for the protection of persons and
property and the establishment Of
conditions essential to the main
tenance of commerce, this govern
ment will be glad to have convincing
evidence Of the consummation of such
changes, and until this evidence is
supplied this government is unable
to perceive that there is any proper
basis for considering trade relations :"
No Specific Reply Yet.
The State department is known to
take the position that there was no
occasion at this time to reply spe-
cifically to the proposal of the Bol-
sheviki that a trade delegation be re-
ceived by the American government.
Sufficient opportunity, it is held is
given in the request Of the American
government for assurances from the
soviet government of change in
heart as affecting their communistic
principles and the rights of private
property for later consideration of
the question of the reception Of
soviet delegation.
