Bowlus Advance (3):-The funeral
Of John Vojdula was held last Satur-

was buried in the Catholic cemetery.
Mr.. Vojdula was born in Galicia,

well along on his 74th year at the
time of his death. He came to Ameri-
ca in 1858, landing in Boston, and
lived there for some time. 1t was IN
that city he met and married Miss
Frances Seriski in 1876. Two children
were born to them there. Later the
family came to St. Paul and in 1886
he came to the farm in Swan River
township where they lived for 26
years. Mr.. Vojdula was one of the
very first settlers in that section and
built the first frame house in that set
tlement. Ten years ago he left the
farm and moved to Bowlus where he
made his home until the time of his
death. He is survived by his widow
and the following children: Paul, Mrs.
Celia Kaiser, Henry, Mrs. Lucy Peder-
son, Theodore, Mrs. Anastatia Mouritz,
Anthony and Peter. Mrs. Kaiser lives
in Swan River Paul, Henry and his

SHORT-TAiLED ShREWS

'1've always been so glad," said Mr..
Short-Tailed Shrew, "that my name
was so different from the names of
other creatures.
1T wouldn't be nearly so interesting
to be named anything else as it is to
be known as short-tailed shrew.
There is something so unusual and at
tractive about the name.
Don't YOU think so too?"
Il agree with you, but then of
course would agree with you natural

Short-Tailed Shrew.
"We're not very sociable as a rule,
but you and I are pretty sociable at

tinued.

know how helpful we are to them?"
asked Mrs. Short-Tailed Shrew.

FOR SANE FOURTH

Last February we prepared cir
cular letter addressed to wholesale
and retail dealers in fireworks, adyis-
ing them of the state regulations gov
erning the storage of the same.
These letters were sent not only to
such dealers, but also to the papers of
the state and received wide publicity.
An extra supply was sent to each fire
chief for distribution among local
dealers. Many commercial clubs also
sent copies to their members.
This advice was sent out early to
head off purchasing of stocks which
could not be handled and stored legal
ly. Every dealer certainly should be
familiar with these regulations, in
force since September l, 1918, and
ignorance cannot be accepted as an
excuse for any violation this year.
The regulation is as follows:
sOrder 6O95 No fire crackers,
rockets, torpedoes, Roman candles,
bombs or other fireworks, and no pis-
tolls, cannons, explosive canes, blank
cartridges, or other similar appliances
or displays, shall be stored in a place
nearer than 200 feet from neighbor-

Request Closed Season
on Trapping Next Fall
Rate of Trapping Last Winter
Seriously Depleted Fur
Bearing Animals

That the Wisconsin conservation
commission may close the season for
trapping fur-bearing animals pursuant
to their legal right is the message sent
to members of the legislature by Com
missioner w. e. Barber with the sane
ton of Governor Blaine. 1t is point
ed out that the muskrat, beaver, otter,
mink and racoon were trapped out so
closely last season that conservation
measures of an urgent and stringent
kind must be enforced in order to pro
tect the animals in question and the
industry in general.
Requests have come in from veteran
trappers and naturalists that the sea-
son should be closed tight next fall
The legislature will not meet in time
to take action, and so the conserva-
ton commission may proceed accord
ing to its vested powers. This means
that petitions must come in bearing
the signatures of % citizens of each
county, after which hearing must be
held in each county. This is big
task, but the commission feels that cir
cumstances warrant it.
The amount of trapping done last
winter was enormous. The commits
sion issued 973 special beaver trapping
licenses, 23,733 regular licenses at
$3.50 each, and 9,166 boys permits at
25 cents each There were 5 1929 beav-
ers trapped, according to reports made
and SO offers taken. Other totals
show 340,615; muskrat furs at value
Of $490,616; mink furs, 52,7O3 worth
1921, 1927; skunk, 56,281 at $155,99O;
racoon, 1919 at $16,340; fox, 1881
worth $11, 3O4; weasel, 4,611 worth ST.
O91; wolf, CAT, worth $4,675; badger,
SO, worth $75 wildcat, 80, worth 500;
bear, 80, worth $453; opossum and
fisher skins very few.
Shall this million dollar industry be
protected, or destroyed for the sake
of one years revenue?- wis. Farmer.

The Eagle River ball team was
scheduled for game at Tomahawk
Sunday but about $50 Saturday even
ing were notified that Tomahawk had
dated the Flambeau Indians instead,
a somewhat rude form of procedure,
not very creditable to the manage
ment of the Tomahawlz team.

to play Eagle River on the home

ing building, except wholesale stor-
age in original packages. Such fire
works, appliances, or display except
rockets and Roman Candles, shall not
be discharged, fired, or used within
200 feet from any building. No rock
cts or Roman candles shall be dis
charged within 500 feet from any
building. This order shall not apply
to fireworks displays made under the
direction of town or municipal authori-
ties, provided the same do not violate
the provisions of Section 439Sf of the
statutes. and provided further that no
fire balloons shall be stored or used
under any circumstances"
The only kinds of fireworks not
covered by above regulations are
sparklers, colored fire as used in tab
leau work and torpedoes, such as used
by railroad men.
All other fireworks can only be
kept, stored and displayed in build
ing which is at least 200 feet from any
other building
Deaths, injuries and destruction of
property in former years, due to indis-
criminate storage and use of fireworks
fully show the wisdom of this regula-
ton.
A Sane Fourth does not mean a
lifeless, undressing or unpatriotic
day. Noise does not mean patriotism.
Picnics, pageants, parades, baseball
band concerts and other games, anus
ments and exercises, planned in adj
vance by some civic body, are quite
as interesting and better calculated to
promote patriotism than meaningless
noise
It is the duty of local police officials
to enforce this regulation and local
ordinance on the subject.
Public celebrations should be held
in parks or other places away from
buildings, and the discharging of fire
works should be in charge of adults.
We trust it will not be necessary
this year to bring any action for viola
ton of above regulation INDUS

Federal Aid in Clearing
Welcomed by Settlers
Will Increase Production of Idle
Acres Now Lacking
Capital to Develop

Last Monday there was a big DEM
onstration of stump removal from cut
over lands near the village of Ten
Strike in upper Minnesota. It was re-
ported as great success, including
removal by several different methods,
of which the Minneapolis Tribune
says:
Some of the stumps were yanked
out with tractors and other mechani-
cal devices, and some with horses
Others were blown out with dynamite
and kindred explosives. No dentist
ever had such a day or left such a
trail of yawning chasms. The charge
against the stumps is that they are
Migrants and public nuisances. They
don't use the soil to any good pur
pose and they don't let anybody. else
use it. Minnesota is getting tired Of
that sort of incubus on it's domain.
An encouraging fact is that when
cut-over lands are properly clea* ~ the.
improvement is of a lasting character.
A new and permanent value is intro
duced. The land does not have to
be cleared again. 1t IS a sure way
of saving what has been earned. Yet
with all that it is not easy to open
up a new farm unless the pioneer has
adequate financial means. The oppor-
tunity is good, but it has difficulties.
Therefore we are glad to notice that
congress seems disposed to help the
much needed work. A bill has been
introduced to aid in clearing stump
lands, and it is said to be likely to
be enacted Under its terms as stat
ed the secretary Of agriculture would
be authorized to spend forty million
dollars for clearing stump lands next
year This money would be advanced
to settlers at the rate of fifteen dol,
lars for every acre cleared of brush,
to the extent of fifty per cent of the
settlers total acreage. Twenty dol
lars an acre would be allotted for the
removal Of stumps These federal adj
vances would be made over a period
of five years, after which the account
would be closed. Two years later re
payment to the government of prin-
cipal and interest at the rate of four
per cent in forty semi-annual pay
ments would begin.
A copy of the bill is not at hand at
this writing, but with proper safe
guards to make assurance that the aid
could not be abused, the possibilities
of farm development in the cut-over
areas would be large and very help
full There are willing workers
enough, but many of them cannot do
the work without aid, to be paid later
when the land earns the wherewith to
make the payments Superior Tele-
gram.
