Fishing Trip
in the North
Plum lake, sayner, Wiseon.

Plum Lake, Sayner, Wisconsin.
Dear MITCHELL
This lake is 392 miles north Of Chi.
cago via the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul r. R. It is five miles long
and a mile wide and ranges in depth
from one to seventy feet. It's name
IS from the color of the water, which
late in the afternoon appears reddish
or plum color and several kinds OF
fish, including muskellunge, pickerel,
Pike, bass and perch are to be found
in its waters. The muskellunge is
considered the best for sport and the
nlost edible. The largest ever caught
weighed 81 pounds. Owing to the
game and fish laws Of the state, one
cannot take out a muskie under 10
pounds-34 inches; pickerel, under 6
POUNDS and a bass 10 inches in length.
This is not a fisherman's paradise.
Sometimes they bite and sometimes
you may troll for a day or two, gather
some weeds or small green vines on
your hook and return with fisher
mans luck. We caught IT perch and
rock bass one afternoon. The climate
varies from 40 to 10 degrees yet from
IL to 3 o'clock in the afternoon on a
clear day one can easily sunburn.
The country is wood and billy anG

MISS CUNNINGHAM
FINDS KENTUCKY
INTERESTING

-
Miss Addie Earle Cunningham.
who recently went to Kentucky to
carry On public health work, has writ.
ten the Ledger q very interesting
letter, Miss Cunningham tells Of her
work and the quaint people she meets
as follows:
Ny Dear Mr.. White:-
If you have a tiny corner in your
paper, I'd like to print just a few
words of greeting from the old Ken
lucky hills.
And they are such wonderful old
hills and ave and waterfalls telling
you of romance and all the mystic
histories and feuds and intrigues of
The ages. It's a land of mountains,
mining, and "moonshine," yet you
almost think of Alice in the Story
Book Land when you see the quaint
log cabins, swinging foot bridges and
OK teams.
One of my first calls when l came
here was from one Of those little log
cabins. It was Of course night and
cloudy and dark. doc, he'd gone to
Flat Gap ten miles away and the lit
tie fellers mighty bad sick" With
a miners carbide lamp we went what
seemed like miles, up and down the
hills and across foot bridges. But
when the clouds were clearer you
could see the wonderful old mountains
one back of the other and the trees
and the river and you loved it every
bit. And you were glad too; in that
home, to nurse the "little teller" and,
by the sole light of open, fire place,
to do the best that you could until
morning and the doctors return.
And the people-true hearted and
sincere yet-so greatly in need of help
AS you go by boat or on horseback,
he only means Of travel through
many of our winding and precipitous
mountain ways-you find poverty and
ignorance land disease and often
whole families are found in one room
shac5s, sleeping ON pallets and cook
ing over tiny freplaces. Only last
week a Ease where a mother and four
children wereeach seriously afflicted
with trachoma and were having hem
orrhages from tuberculosis. My town
and county officials are most cooper
ative and earnest in their help and
there is so much that we want to do.
W. have already been busy inspect
ing and weighing school children,
testing wells, investigating sources
of our cases Of typhoid
fever, giving serum and preventive
care. We have a prenatal and baby
clinic and also a Venereal Clinic es-
tablished with state aid. We do much
trackman work and are expecting
DR.. Colbert Of Louisville to come to US
this fall for a second clinic. We have
also had two cleanup campaigns and
have established a permanent system
of garbage removal.
We are busy, busy people but happy
in the hearty backing Of those res
ponsible and in the sincere gratitude
and love of the mountain folk-like
children mayhap, in their simple and
primitive way; yet you love them in
their rugged honesty and characters
untouched by worlddiness-And be-
cause they love you.
We need more public health work
ers, l wish more nurses would come
to beautiful old Kentucky.
Sincerely,
AIDE EARLE CUNNINGHAM.
