A new motion picture has been is
sued by the Department of Agricul-
ture dramatizing for the American
farmer what course to pursue when

film entitled Productions Purse, .

front the farmer after he has nurs-

FORCE BARS LIFTED TO
PUBLIC USE OF LAKES

3 MADISON-Private owners have
no lawful right to obstruct the
lakes of Wisconsin from use by the
public through construction of
fences across pathways or by any
other means that would keep the
waters out of public use, Atty. Gen.
Morgan holds Friday, in an opinion
It othe conservation commission.
The ruling will open all of the
lakes to any persons who wish to
make use of them. 1t points out
that the shores of Lakes Michigan
and Superior are included within this
Interpretation.
State Owns Lake Beds
"The rights of the public in navi-
gable waters of the state and on
the shores of lakes, the beds of
which are owned b ythe state, below
the high water mark, are paramount
to the private rights of owners of
abutting lands" the opinion states.
at is important that these rights
be maintained. The principle of
state ownership of our lakes and the
beds thereof to the high water mark
would be meaningless and impotent
if the use and enjoyment of the pub
lie water could be monopolized by
riparian owners, simply by permit
ting them to exclude the public from
access thereto, in denying the public
it's right to, the use of the shore
below the high water mark.
"The state of Wisconsin is not
propagating and protecting fish at
public expense to the favored few
who may own lands abutting public
waters.
Owners Not Informed
"The property owner has no right
to prevent any person from enter
ing to any lake or to exclude persons
from any part of a lake."
This opinion Is said by the attorney
general to be in conflict with the
common belief of private owners. of
landsabout lakes. 1t is broad in
its scope and vii, mean the opening
of hundreds Of lakes, now exnluded
from the public, to their. use.
Action of private owner of land
near Peninsula State park in build
ing fence to exclude the public was
the basis of the opinion.

GLAD, to get home is the express
sion that voluntarily comes from
everyone who has left dear cid
Washburn for time and returned
again This is especially true of
those who have travelled afar. We
talked to two young men this week
who had returned from the east and
they were tickled to get home, so
much so that they said they would
have walked if they did not have the
fare, so anxious were they to re-
turn. to Washburn While we have
our trials and troubles at home in
q small way, yet here there is not
poverty and distress such as is to
be found in the larger cities.

WORKING FOR US

Our attention has been called to
an editorial appearing recently in
which Senator Lenroot was critized
for "Going to Canada" while La
Toilette remained in Washington
endeavoring to build up his own poll
teal fortunes. Now it, was not
stated why Senator Lenroot made
that trip to Canada, for telling that
would be, great feather in the cap
of the Junior Senator from Wisconsin
His mission to Canada was of in
terest to every man, woman and
child residing in Wisconsin, it was
of interest to the people OF our
sister states, it was of interest to
the majority of the people of the
United States, for that mission to
Canada for which he was criticized
in the editorial was in the interest
of the Deep Sea Waterway that will
connect the Great Lakes with the
Atlantic ocean.
While LaFollette remained in
Washington playing politics Lem
root and Nelson, both of Wisconsin,
were in Canada with the Commits
sions of the two countries that are
endeavoring to put over the great
est project that has ever been pro-
posed for the people fthe United
States.
"Gone to Canada" Sure, and

Could Senator's time be more, pro-
fitably spent in the interest of the
people of his state.

The Shortest Month.

In the old days when the Roman
rulers had nothing else to worry
about they did something to the cal
endar.
And February, it appears, was q
victim. Originally this perfectly
good month had 30 days in leap
years and 20 in other years. Febru-
airy is from the Latin, meaning "to
purify" 1t was the custom of the
Romans to celebrate the festival of
publication in February.
Julius Caesar named July in his
own honor. Then along came Au-
gustus, and month was named for
him, also. But August had only 80
days. So Augustus looked around
and picked on February, which mad
no one particularly to defend it. Ee
just took day off February and adj
ded it to his own pet month.
That's why February ordinarily
has but rs days, and why August
has 81, in keeping with the dignity
of its imperious nameaalle.

The New Federal Policy,

Here it is! the new Federal
Policy which is a little better than
the best. 1t is plain, simple promise
to pay, monthly income contract
which provides a pension for life for
losses which impair the policy hold
ers' efficiency. This policy differs
radically from Accident and Health
policies offered to the public in the
following important respects:
The Company has no authority to
modify, limit or cancel it. 1t is re-
Movable wholly at the option of the
insured up to his Goth birthday. 1t
is incontestable after one year as to
the origin of any disability. 1t does
not require House Confinement for
any Accident or Sickness. 1t pays an
Income for life, if permanently dis
abled by either accident or sickness.
1t pays a Pension for Life in case of
loss of one limb, or one hand, or
! sight of one eye or any two caused
| by either accident or sickness. 1t
pays Hospital Benefits in addition
to any other benefits. Death Benefit
Doubled, if death occurs while, on
any public conveyance for passenger
service, or within a burning building
or suffocated by smoke, or by light
! ming, cyclone, or tornado, or by ex-
plosion of a steam boiler. 1t covers
the Insured in Foreign Countries
There is no increase in premium
after attaining the age of fifty. Il
pays partial disability at one hall
rate of total disability of eight
months. Benefits from $4,000 tc
100000 a month may be secured
There are numerous other benefits
included in this Non-Restrictable
Life Income Accident and Health
Policy. This policy like all Other
Federal" Policies is backed by q
FULL Legal Reserve which protects
the insured against paying Extra
Assessments. 1t will pay you to in

DEBORAH BOYS AT LUTHER.
City is Well Represented by Local
Boys Attending the College.

Conversations with a number of
DEBORAH people have brought out the
fact that quite a number of people
in the city are of the opinion that the
college is very little used by the
boys. Naturally, no college wishes to
be considered local. A college should
be wider in its scope of influence
than to include only city or per-
haps county. We have previously
published figures showing that the
northern half of Minnesota sends 81
men to Luther this year, and that
North Dakota sends 90 men, that is
from that direction alone SO men
travel from 300 to GOO miles to
come to Luther. Luther evidently has
a scattered constituency. This i'm
preston has gone abroad so widely
that it will probably surprise many
people to know that Winneshiek
county this year is sending 81 men
to the college, and that the city of
DEBORAH alone has 40 of its boys
studying at Luther. Following are
the names of the DEBORAH boys at
tending the college this year:
