A Little Talk on Thrift.
BY :. W. Straus. President Ameri-
can Society for Thrift.

by ;. W. Straus. President Ameri-
can Society for Thrift.
While economic conditions are i'm
proving IN this country, world wide
conditions generally have not materi
ally improved during the four years
that have elapsed since the war.
America is today the most powerful
nation in the world, and this exalted
position carries with it all the rrspon-
sibilities of leadership. Perhaps this
country could fulill these duties to
the best advantage through financial
channels. By financial assistance is
not meant tue donation of funds.
But it is suggested that the United
states stand ready to make loans to
other nations provided these loans are
safeguarded as to interest and princi-
pal. and that the proceeds are used
for purely constructive purposes.
Before any such foreign loans could
be negotiated, however, it would be
necessary for all foreign nations to
reduce their army and navy forces to
a peace footing, such as we have in
the UuIted States at the present time
Disarmament of this nature would
tighten the economic burdens of the
civilized world and this saving could
be used in paying the Indebtedness to
this country. AS long as the smou!d-
ering fires of war are kept alive
through the spirit of hatred and
jealousy no nation as a matter of self
protection can disarm with safety
until the other nations do the same.

Muskellunge Going Fast.

An expert who has devoted years TO
tie propagation of muskelluhge states
that this mighty game fish, once so
numerous in Wisconsin waters, is
very near the point of determination
is doomed unless sonnet hing radical
is done soon to prevent the calamity.
The system of treating muskellunge
eggs through artificial aid in pro-
pagation, he states, has been per
tected to such an extent that at least
Is per cent of them can he hatchad.
Thus problem which for many years
proved very difficult has been solved
rather satisfactorily. but possibly too
late, for new and serious problem
has arisen difficulty in getting eggs
to hatch, iIasmuch as muskrllunge
have become very scarce.
Those who understand what this
means do not need TO think twice to
reach the conclusion that effective
measures should be taken at once to
save the muskelIunge. One thing of
prime Importance is to make sure that
muskellunge that will supply eggs
for Matching fry with which to restock
W lsconsin waters are permitted to
grow. There is one way open to
this and that is to close "a number of
muskellunge lakes for a period of
from three TO five years.
In this way the muskelunge that
remain in these lakes would gain a
| chance to multiply and grow. Il
larger supply of muskelunge eggs for
Matching fry that could be planted in
| other lakes would be provided.
Ina direct way too, the plan would
improve fishing in lakes not closed,
Tor, in many cases, the muskellunge
would naturally migrate to other
lakes through connecting creeks and
would ascend to still other lakes
through rivers as well as creeks.
This plan OF closing number of
muskellunge lakes could be carried
| out in an endless circle. With the re.
opening of the first lakes closed a
similar number of lakes that mean
time had remained open could be
CLOSED for from three TO five years,
and 80 on until lakes that had been
closed and then re-opened could be
closed again.
Doubtless it would be good plan
to arrange TO keep closed, in turn, at
least one muskellunge lake which
drains directly into one of the dozen
or more large streams which muskel-
lunge inhabit.
TO raise muskellunge fry on a scale
at all adequate would be an expensive
process even if eggs in sufficient num-
Der were made available Sufficient
funds for propagating muskellunge
and the other most desirable kinds of
game fish are not provided now and
cannot be provided except by prOvid-
ing that adult male residents shall
pay license fees for game fishing
This is the anglers one opportunity
to perpetuate this sport. The main
tenance of fishing has become chiefly
a question of financing the work that
is necessary.
The situation is critical. There is
