GOOD TROUT CATCHES MADE

Although the stream was clear as
crystal, many fine catches were made
on the Kinnickinnic Tuesday, the OPP
ening day of the trout fishing season.
In fact, so many anglers returned
with full creels that it would be use
less to try and enumerate individual
records. Lutte Green, however, seems
to have copied off the largest single
fish, 3-pound Brown, from the mill
pond. o. Nj. Johnson is reported next
in line, with a Brown which weighed
just an ounce and half over two
pounds. Morris Caught his up river.
Of course Ben Rosenberg, Elmer
Wigen, Harley Clark, Carroll Oakley,
Herb Kruger, and few more of the
acknowledged wizards" returned
with their usual maximum limit
strings, while the rest of us were glad
to return to MUNICH the sardine sand
witches thoughtfully provided for fish
appetites.

ceived letter from a civics club at
the Normal asking that they be
allowed to help in the work of clean
ing up some of the unsightly places
about town and helping TO beautify
others. When our young men and
boys offer their services in that way,
we may feel sure that a sense of civic
pride is being aroused in the COM
The League is arguing two 'don'ts'
that every man, woman and child
should heed.
Don't scatter paper on streets!
Don't cut corners and spoil lawns!

Ny Mothers Star
by Harry Moves Pratt

When twilight goes and Night has
made
The crimson flags of sunset fade,
And down the drowsy, wearied hills
Her purple fruitage flooding spills
VIXEN night has come and day has
ceased,
Across the valley to the east
One star hangs tender, soft and low.
| love to watch it shining so.
/ say, "That is my mothers star.'
Though far away OH, far and far
/ know she watches over me
AS tender and as lovingly
AS when she led me, footsteps slow,
Along the paths of long ago.
No other star may ever shine
As glows this Mother Star of mine.

HAMMOND HOTEL
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Fire of unknown Origin last Mon
day night destroyed the old Hammond
hotel owned by Louis Frank, and oc-
cupied by his son-in-law VIM. Lang
and family. The fire was discovered
by LAME Hawkins about two o'clock
and great portion of the lower part
of the building was already aflame.
The local fire company soon got into
the job and by the use of two lines of
hose kept the fire confined to the one
briilding, altho the Casinovia building
setting about five feet to the north
got a severe scorching.
The burning of this building marks
the passing of another of HammondS
old land marks, having been built
about thirty five years ogo, and it is
hoped that new modern structure
will be rebuilt in its stead.
Louis Frank and VIM. Lang were
in st. Paul Monday where they were
purchasing material for the reanod-
cling of the building which he expect
to have had done this summer, and
fortunately Mrs. Lang and Children
were staying at the Frank home when
the building burned.
The Lang family lost all of their
household goods and clothing, and
the stock at John Whites pool room
was badly damaged, all however car
ried surance.-Hammond News.

PARTING OF THE WAYS
BY wisco

What of our wild life? On no other
land has bountiful nature poured
from her horn of plenty such wealth
of wild life as she has upon this fair
land of ours. In no other place has
she so abundantly provided it with
natural food and sanctuaries. Our
forbears found upon this continent an
almost inconceivable wealth of wild
life, from the smallest winged Great
ure to the lordly moose and grizzly
bear. The supply seemed inexhaust-
ible. Pioneers subsisted upon the
flesh of upland birds and white tailed
deer while hewing their farms out of
the forests. The railroads across our
western plains were virtually built up
on the flesh of the American bison.
How have we administered the
heritage entrusted to us? Have we
conserved it judiciously or have we
dissipated it in riotious living? IL
our egotism we have refused to ac-
cord to other forms of life the right
tic live. In our monumental selfish
ness we have sacrificed everything
else to OUR pleasure. In our arrogance
we have assumed the powers of
Diety in exterminating life as sacred
as our own. We have slaughtered
for the very love of killing. We have
robbed wild creatures of their sanct-
uaries and their feeding grounds.
We have taken a toll far greater tnan
our right.
And now has come the parting OF
the ways. The hand writing on the
wall has become so legible that even
ne who runs may read. To follow
the path straight ahead means total
extinction of our wild life with all the
consequent disaster. The road to the
right leads to the. conservation OF
species not already extinct, with &C
companying blessings to ourselves
and our posterity through all time to
come. For the past two decades a
handful of far-sighted prophets have
visioned the future and have striven
to stem the tide of wasteful slaughter.
Ii now appears that they may yet
live to see the day when their teach
ings will have struck home.
Another name must be engraved
upon the shrine of nature lovers.
( Fearlessly, ard against great OPP
position, Donald Hough has cham
pioned the cause of the moose in
Minnesota. This animal the largest
upon the American continent, was
rapidly nearing extinction in that
state, one of the very few localities
where it continues exist. In spite
by the majority of so called spores
of the fact that he was not supported
men, Mr.. Hough continued with his
campaign of education until he has
finally reached the goal for which he
atriven--a closed season on moose in
Minnesota. This action shonld spell
perpetuation for the moose in that
state.

The sheep industry is general !
the most prosperous farming indus y
in the state since both wool and NUT
