"Whang." is beating. or mauling
or hammering. II comes from the
Chinese.
"Bas," Is a species OF fish and is TAX
en- from the French, and sometimes
from the lakes.
"Ino." is taken from Italian and
means that one is on-or next, or a
longside OF.
And the word "whangbasino." as
used in connection with Pats effort
to rouse his country to arms against
the evil hosts OF Marquette county,
meant: II am awakening you on the
bass hatchery, being onto It," II is
quite appropriate. and was used by the
noted Explorer Grove on the occasion
OF his visit TO the wilds OF Iron county
when in search OF rare tribe called
Stillhootchers. one popularity OF
which is a prominent protuberance on

that Darwin was altogether mistaken
as TO his theory on the evolution OF
man. having gotten II wrong end to.
Grove insists that this bunch on the
hip OF the Stillhootchers shows that
man is degenerating into monkey.
and further evidence in support of his
theory is that the bunch has increased
from the size of a pint to one OF
quart during the time his investiga-
lions have been in progress. Further
support Of this degenerating process
Is now being Offered by McDonough

One OF the unfortunate things about
a one indnstried community is the
handicap that II puts upon the home
boy. Crystal Falls Is one industried
town. Mining is the principal industry
about the only industry. There Is
room for but comparatively few
who do not take To mining. The young
man who grows up in our midst must
follow the iife OF miner or get out.
The big majority OF our boys get out.
This Is an unfortunate condition. We
ought to keep more of our boys at
home but We cannot do so unless we
provide some means OF keeping them
here. We need varid industries so
that a young man can have a selec-
lion to pick from in choosing his vo-
cation.
Industries are slow in coming. We
can't expect people outside to seek

boys and girls. They have their own

ABOUT FISH HATcHERIEs

Since having our attention called
TO the fish hatchery question we have
learned a lot on that subject. We
were inclined TO look upon this
hatchery question as sectional one
at first for the reason that il had been
put To us in a sectional way. The
more we met and discussed this ques
tion with men from other sections.
and especially with men who know
fishing and fish waters in this penin-
sula and what Is necessary 20 main
tain them as fishing waters the more
the sectional approach TO the ques-
ton has receded and vision OF
what Is best for the peninsula as
whole has taken it's place---at ieasa
We think IL has.
We are frank 10 say that we believe
that all parties TO this contest have
been similarly led astray and that the
officials of the state conservation de-
partment h avelikewise been extreme
ly narrow In their treatment OF this
question. II the rumpus over the two
has done no other good
than TO change the attitude OF our
officials To one OF careful investiga-
tion with view to so placing the
hatcheries that they may serve the
districts OF the peninsula best, II will
have done much.
In the first place we are surprised
that the game and tish department
should have been so deficient In Wis
ION as to place the hatchery at
Thompson. There isn't the first re-
auisite for a hatchery at that place
and We believe that the department
will save money II II should abandon

Big Freight Business Through 81
Johnsbury.

What is called the largest traffic
in freight since the war has been
passing through st. Johnsbury during
the past week. The force at the st.
Johnsbury freight station has been en-
hrged from seventeen TO twenty
men, the largest number that have
been employed since 1919. During the
past ten DAYS William Larma. who is
in charge of the freight sheds, and who
by the way is generally considered a
hard man TO beat when il comes TO
loading and unloading cars, has, with
his crew, worked a total Of 279 cars,
aside from the local loading. On
Monday they worked 20 cars, three of
which contained 500-pound bales of
cotton which had to be loaded from
one car into another.
The train crews also report big
increase in business. there being sew
eral new men employed on the main
line.
The reason for this unprecedented
rush is considered the embargo that
is placed on some Of the neighboring
lines on an carload and less than car
load lots, necessitatiHg the smaller
shippers routing their freight around
through this division.
