SATURDAY ; BIG STORM
Twelve Inches of Snow Dur
ing Friday Night and Sat
urday Increases Drifts In
This Section.

The northern part of Wisconsin
and this lake region has now an
over-abundance of snow, piled into
high drifts by the two severe
storms of the past week or So,
that gives the average citizen a
blue streak and causes him to
wonder whether we will ever have
any summer season. Some claim
that the icebergs in the north
pole region have slipped farther
south, while others claim that the
Japan current. has changed it's
course. Again there are many
who lay all the blame to the ex-
huming of Old King Tut, averring
that his spirit became peeved on
account. of it's interrupted sleep
and put black magic on Americans
and others who stirred up his en-
balmed body. Anyhow, somebody
is to blame for the weather.
Friday night and all day Satur-
day blizzard struck this section
and by Sunday morning had reg
istered twelve inch snowfall
This added to what had previous
fallen during the winter gave a
flat fall of forty-one inches for
this section and added few more
inches of snow. Warm sun and
lack of frost in the ground will
soon cause the snow to disappear

MAKES RECORD CATCH
Southland Waters Produce
Abundance for Wisconsin
Woman Angler, Mrs. Dor
is BIankenberg.

In the Thursday, March 18th is
sue of the Sarasota (Florida)
Times, the following article rela-
tive to a Wisconsin lady angler
will prove of much interest to
friends of Mrs. Doris Blankenberg
of Lighthouse Lodge, Clearwater
Lake:
Mrs. Doris Blankenburg, pro-
prietor Of the Palms Villa and
Lighthouse Lodge, Three Lakes,
Wisconsin, has gained the record
this season for the largest catch
of fish in these waters made by
any woman. She is some fisher
woman. Probably her record Of
three hours fishing off Sarasota
Bay this week will not be equaIled
in a long long time.
Accompanied by George Peter
son, vice-president of the Zangere
& Peterson Co., of Chicago, and
w. A. Burford, of Three Lakes,
Wis, the trio set out in Russell
Thompson's boat, the American
Eagle. They brought back total
Of 1922 pounds of kingfish in three
hours fishing. OF the 166 king
fish, Mrs. Blankenburg caught 70
of them or a total of more than
400 pounds. This conceded to be
the high record for the season
made by any woman in these wa
tiers and will probably stand for
some time as the high mark for
kingfish. No place in all Amer
lea affords the intensely thrilling
and enjoyable fishing that the
waters off Sarasota Bay give to
visitors from every part of the
United States. Kingfishing is in
its prime now and a days catch
of $4,000 pounds of kingfish is not
unusual.

TWENTYMILESON SHOES
Big St. German Man Snow
shoed From There to Eagle
River in Deep Snow and
Below Zero Weather.

Nine degrees below zero and
snow so deep that is was necessary
to use snowshoes, is a freak for
Northern Wisconsin. Never in his
thirty-odd years Of residence here
has Alex McGregor of Big st. Ger
main lake seen such belated spring
conditions, at least not since the
country has become civilized and
settled up Monday Mr.. McGregor
was of necessity compelled to
make business trip to Eagle
River from Big ST. German lake
His only method of locomotion
was by snowshoes.
The Saturday night fall OF
twelve inches of snow had placed
the highways out of commission
so far as team traffic was con.
cerned, and he made the twenty
miles to the village by snowshoes
Took him from early morning I'M
til noon to make the distance, The
weather when he started from
home was nine degrees below
zero but by eight o'clock the sur
had changed the cold into regular
summer weather. Yesterday he
started on his return trip viz
snowshoes and "hoofing' it.
Old time residents claim this
spring has them all guessing or
account of deep snow and zero
weather. The blizzard of Satur
day reached all over the northwest
and as far down as Milwaukee.

SHOW MEXICAN FILM
Industry. Agricultu. and Resources
Have Been Portrayed.

Motion picture films descriptive of
the industry, agriculture and resources
of the Mexican Republic are being
completed by the Department of In
duStry and Commerce of the Mexican
government, according to advice re-
ceived Saturday.
1t is thought that these pictures may
be shown throughout the United States
by commercial associations which are
anxious to illustrate the possibilities
for trade and investment that are of
fered in the neighboring republic.
Imports into the republic of Mexico
last month registered an increase over
the same month a year ago. With the
present outlook for an early recogni-
ton of the Mexican government by the
United States with that country is
looked for. A great stimulus to the
dormant industry of that rich republic
is anticipated.
Recent reports from Mexico City
show that British manufacturers and
exorters are making special efforts to
get back some of their former trade in
that field. Numerous commissioners,
in official capacity, especially from
Canada are Systematically going about
the work of getting trade. 1t would
seem necessary for American exporters
to intensity their efforts in order to
offset as much as possible the work of
these competitors.
Mining is in excellent shape through

Little Joe the child christened, and, like
babies. grew apace;
He'd his mothers eyes of azure and his fathers
honest face.
Swift the happy years went over, years of blue
and coudless sky:
Love was lord of that small cottage and the
tempests passed them by.
Passed them by for years, then swiftly burst in
fury DER their home.

Thrice he came and saw her sitting by the window
with her child
And he nodded to the baby, and the baby laughed
and smiled
So at last it grew TO know him-little Joe was

He would call the pretty gemplun" as he passed

And one day he ran and caught him. and in

And the baby Joe had prayed for brought about

bards have sung:
Twas woman weak and wanton and a villains

Twas n picture deftly painted for a silly

them lies.
Annie listened and was tempted; she tempt

depths of hell;
She promised wealth and splendour and a
life of guilty soth,
Yellow gold for child and husband,-and the
woman left them both.
Home one came Joe the 'oster with CHEEKY
cry of Wife,
Finding that which blurred forever all the story
of his life
She had left a silly letter-through the cruel
scrawl he spelt;
Then he sought the lonely bedroom, joined his
horny hands and knelt
Now, o Lord. o God forgive her, for she amt
to bame!' he cried
For | Owt la her trouble, and "a gone

Why wench like her-God bless her .-'twasn't

'OSTLER JOE.

stood at eve. as the sun went down, by grave
where woman lies, 80
Who lured mems souls to the shores of sin with
the light of her wanton eyes,
Who sang the song that the Siren sang on the
treacherous Hurley height,
Whose face was as fair as a summer day, and
whose heart was black as night.
Yet blossom fain would pluck today from the
garden above her DUST
Not the languorous lily of soulless sin nor the
blood-red rose of lust;
But sweet white blossom of holy love that grew
in the one green spot
In the arid desert of Phrynes life, where all was
parched and hot.
In the summer, when the meadows were agow
with blue and red
Joe, the ostler of the Maybe, and fair Annie
Smith were wed.

cheek as white as snow;
BE was anything but handsome the Magpie's

But he won the winsome lassie. They'd cottage

And her matronhood sat lightly on the village
beauty's brow.
Sped the months and came a baby-such blue
eyed baby boy
Joe was working in the stables when they told
him of his joy.
He was rubbing down the horses and he gave
them then and there
All a special feed of clover, just in honour of
the heir;
1t had been his great ambition, and he told the
horses so,
That the Fates would send a baby who might
bear the name of Joe.
