The Journal Contest

The Journal Contest
Keep in mind the fishing contest
and register your catches early. The
fact that you register trout caught
today does not in any way interfere
with your registering a larger one
caught later in the season. The rules
of the contest will be printed each
week, together with coupon which
is to be used for registration. Watch
this column for list of registrants.

Out-Of-Doors
By Wisco

When your nerves are all a fragile,
When you find you're getting stale,
When you're failing to deliver,
Then it's time to hit the trail.
When your brain cells cease TO func-
ton,
When you try without avail,
To keep your mind on business,
Then it's time, to hit the trail.
When your sleep is getting restless,
When digestion gins to fail,
When the phone brings on the "wil-'
lies,"
Then it's time to hit the trail.
When you find your grip is slipping,
When you're sliding down the scale,
Put it in your pipe and smoke it
That it's time to hit the trail.
, Take your pack upon your shoulder,
Get away from phone and mail,
Get out into Gods own country,
just cut loose and hit the trail.
The time is at hand to plan that
trim into the woods that you have
been anticipating so long. Ii you
have "been there" you know the keen
delight that accompanies it and the
reiuvination that results. In this day
of the omnipresent flivver and good
roads the taking of a summer vaca-
ton in the woods is comparatively
easy matter, and one not attended
with any great outlay of money For
those who enjoy roughing it, the ex-
pense of two weeks in the woods is
no more than the ordinary expense OF
living at home for like period.
Wisconsin offers the greatest OF in
ducements to him who loves the out
doors. With her eleven millions OF
acres Of wild forest lands, her thou
sands of beautiful lakes, and her
countless streams, she offers play
ground which no state can surpass.
One may find the spot to his liking,
no matter what his desires. He may
find the elaborate summer resort IN
which one is expected to appear for
dinner in full dress, or he may find
the lake or stream on whose shores
he may pitch his tent with assurance
that he may fish there for weeks
without once seeing another animal
of the genus homo.
In no state of the Union is one able
to find greater variety OF fishing
than in our own state. The best OF
trout fishing is found in all northern
streams. Rainbows inhablt all OF
the streams that empty into Lake
Superior-the Brule, the Cranberry
and the Marengo being some of the
most famous of these. Bass may DE
caught in any of our northern lakes,
those in Polk, Sawyer, Iron and Onei-
da counties having, perhaps, the best
reputation in this respect. Muskal-
longe will be found only in the waters
tributary to the Chippewa and Flam-
beau rivers. By getting well up to-
wards the headwaters OF these
streams early in the season it is pos
sible to obtain the finest sport known
to fresh water fisherman, Great Nor
thern pike, pickerel, and wall eyed
pike are found through these waters,
with the exception that pickerel are
not found in water inhabited by the
muskies. On many of the larger lakes
in these counties will be found sum-
mer resorts where one may fish with
out thought as to the preparation OF
meals and where one may always Oh
tain guides to assist him in his chosen
are.
