INFORMATION TO TRAPPERS

CONSERVATION OofuthiScioh NhfNo ~
formation TO the Villas County
Trapper Regarding Taking of
Muskrats.
The following information 10
trappers has been received by the
Villas County News from the state
conservation commission relative
to the taking of muskrats and
other protected animals during the
trapping season. Ii says:
The provisions of Order No IS
close the season on muskrat and
racoon in all but a few counties
of the state. The law on skunk
and mink has not been changed
and therefore the season on mink
is left as it is j. e. from November
I TO March 81, and on skunk from
October Is to January 81. The
question as TO what to do with
muskrat caught in a trap set
for mink, or a racoon caught in
trap set for skunk. The trap
per must act as follows:
| |. Immediately report the catch
ing of the muskrat or racoon to
this office or to your nearest con-
servation warden. BY so doing you
protect yourself from prosecution,
u. Skin the animal, stretch and
I dry the hide. You will be in
structed what to do with the fur.
Do not attempt to sell the hide.
Such muskrat or racoon skins be-
long to the state, must be sold by
the commission and the money
turned over to the State Treasury.
|3. A trapper who fails to report
the catching of muskrat or racoon
and who attempts to sell the hides
will be prosecuted.

The Common Lot.

People sometimes imagine that
if they could only acquire a posi-
tion of eminenee, wealth, OF other
form of so called success, they
would be perfectly happy. The
falsity OF such an illusion is illus
trated by the distressing illness
of Mrs. Harding.
Here is her husband. who has
attained the most exalted position
in the world, honored all over the
globe, and assured of success and
abundant living for the rest of his
life. Yet his wife falls sick just
as if she were the helpmate Of
some common labOrer, and he must
struggle against the black fore
holdings and anticipations of grief
just as If he were some common
and obscure man.
In addition his lot is infinitely
worse, because while carrying all
this anxiety. he must also bear the
almost crushing burden of his Of
fetal responsibilities, which have
been so greatly augmented by the
industrial conflicts of the summer.
High position carries no exemp-
tion from the worlds trouble, and
the common lot of ordinary peo-
pie carries far less anxiety.

AGENCIES WAR FRAUD
CASES TO BE PROBED.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The $685.
100000 appropriation bill for the
departments of state and justice,
carrying half a million dollars for
investigation and prosecution OF
war fraud cases was passed late to-
day by the house without, a record
vote and with less than so member
in attendance.
With this, the second supply bill
of the session, out of the |way and
ready for senate action, the house
Immediately took up tthe s25,000,-
900 bill for the departments of
commerce and labor, agreeing to
eliminate general debate, which on
some measures runs a full day. The
1928 naval budget will be reported
tomorrow.
An amendment by Representa-

which would have required the at
torney general to account for the
funds and for 100000 heretofore

SHIPPING BILL
CENTER: Of FIGHT
ATTACK IN FORCE-LITTLE
PROGRESS MADE AND OPEN
ING STATEMENT BY JONES
NOT CoNCLUDED-BILL TAX
EN- UP TO-DAY

Washington, Dac. 12.-The ad-
ministration shipping bill was tax
en- up today by the senate and was
subjected Immediately to baptism
Of fire at the hands Of Democratic
opponents.
;, Chairman Jones of the COM
merce committee which reported
the bill Saturday after making sew
eral changes in the house draft
called up the measure. His opening
statement in behalf of the legisla-
ton, however, went over until to-
morrow because of the time con-
sumed by the Democrats in several
attacks on the measure and by the
reading of the entire bill and both
majority and minority reports in
compliance with demand by Sena-
tor Fletcher of Florida, ranking
Democratic member of the COM
merce committee.
The Democrats started their at
tack as soon as Chairman Jones
made his first move in the legisla-
tive struggle, which is expected to
occupy the senate for weeks. Sen
ator Jones proposed first that the
senate proceed to immediate con-
sideration of the ship bill but OBJ
lection from the Democrats blocked
this move until after the regular
calendar had been disposed Of. The
commerce committee chairman next
suggested that the senate beginning
tomorrow meet an hour earlier but
withdrew the proposal in the face
of objections from several Demo
cratic senators and Chairman Nor
>ris Of the agriculture committee
that this would interfere with the
committee activities.
Republican supporters of the bill
rather expected an attempt by the
Democrats to- prevent the taking up
of the bill but the motion was car
ried without dissent upon a viva
voce vote. The next move by Sena-
tor Jones, a proposal that the SEN
ate on quitting work today recess
instead of adjourn in order to expe-
dite consideration of the bill how
eyer was used by three Democratic
senators as a vehicle of attack on
the administration policy with re.
spect TO the measure and on the
legislation itself.
