On Long Canoe Trip.

Dean Crawford and Jackson
Taylor, chaperoned by the for
mer's father, H. l. Crawford, man.
ager of the Wausau Telephone
company, started Sunday for Boul-
der Junction, where they will put
their canoe in the Manitowish wa
tiers and make their way through
chain of lakes and thoroughfares
to Mlnocqua, and from there take
a trip down the famous but very
crooked Tomahawk river, to Tom
ahawk. They expect to reconnoiter
about Crawling Stone and Fence
and other lakes through which
they will pass and take in the In
dian Fair at Lac du Flambeau.
The trip will take about week.
The Pilot will say nothing about
the big fish they expect to catch.
Anyway they are out for a week
of sport and we hope they will
get all that is coming to them.
Silas Tobey, Jr., was to have been
one of the party but at the last
moment it was necessary for him
to go to the hospital for an opera

FISH HAS MADE RECORD

Brand of Hospitality.

In speaking of the hospitality
shown the travelling public by a
young man and wife, the follow
ing is commendable recommend
of the brand with which the av-
erage Northern Wisconsin resi-
dent is embued with. The Mil
waukee Journal tour man recently
discovered Glen Fish and wife on
Whltefish lake southeast of Three
Lakes, and evidently secured more
than the average quota of hospi-
tally, for he says:
About the most hospitable spot
IN many a mile Of touring is Glen
tish's place up on highway 80.
near Three Lakes. This young
man OF twenty-eight, son of Chas.
w. Fish of Elcho, was in poor
health and was ordered to get out
INTO the open air and get strong.
With his wife and baby, he went
up to some beautiful timbered
frontage on Whitefsh lake and
started free camping place for
tourists. The camping place was
merely notion that it would be
pleasant TO share the lovely place
with others. Anyone who hap
pens along is welcome to share
not only the space, scenery, lake
and woods, but is urged to use
boats, fishing tackle and even bait,
without money and without price.
There is place to- cook and an
inviting porch for your dining
room. At times, tourists have oc-
cupled the screened porch with
their cots.

| feel like giving few "don'ts''
to beginners:
Don't shoot straight UP in the
alr-you are likely to kill YOUR
self or others.
Don't shoot towards one of the
sacks or any object on the
ground if anyone is standing be-
yond as the arrow is apt to glance.
Remember that it is a real weap-
on, and use about the same care
you would with a gun.
Don't shoot where there are
trees or long grass, as you will
lose about so per cent of the ar
rows shot; you can lose enough,
even when shot under the most
favorable circumstances.
The farm on which this arrow
course is located contains fifty
acres, is. about seven miles from
the city and is one-half woods and
one-half sheep pasture. We are
therefore not burdened with farm
work, and have a cabin built in

ing and exercise pay big dividends

Nests Free From Lice.

A poultryman of wide experience
suggests very simple means OF
keeping hens nests free from lice
and mites. A shovelful of wood
ashes sprinkled in every nest that
he makes has freed his hens en-
tirely of this nuisance. The rem
edy is so simple that it hardly
seems worth mentioning, but it
has proved so effectual that it is
passed along in spite of its SIM
plicity. Another fine practice en-
ployed by this same poultryman is
to keep several boxes of wood
ashes around for the fowls to wal
low in whenever they feel like it.
This is even better than sand.
Many poultrymen now use kerr
osene emulsion for spraying the
inside of the hen house. The eff
fectiveness of this spray is In
creased many fold if about a gill
of crude carbolic acid is added to
each gallon of the emulsion. While
the kerosene alone is very effec-
tive, there is very small likelihood
that any insect life will survive
the kerosene-carbolic treatment
and it's sanitary value is well
known to everybody.

Federal Sleuths
Halt Free Sugar
Scheme Boston Man

Boston, June 4-Joseph +. Martin,
who sent circulars to 200 New Eng
landers offering a gift of IS pounds
of granulated sugar to each purchas-
err of $40 worth of groceries, was ar
rested today on a charge of using
the mails to defraud and was held in
$4,000 bail for hearing before a
United States commissioner. BAH
was not forthcoming, and Martin
was Jailed.
The alleged scheme, according to
postal inspectors who made the ar
rest. was discovered by one OF the
prospective purchasers who went to
the columbus avenue Offices. of Mar
tin. who wasa doing business under
the name of the Martin Grocery
Company. and found no groceries or
stock in the place.
An investigation resulted when the
curious shopper called on the federal
authorities. The inspectors said that
thew were unable to find any trace or
bills of lading or goods on the prem
Uses or in transit.
The inspectors pointed out that If
one in every four of those offered the
bargain in groceries sent in an or
dor the returns would have totalled
81 600, 900 in a short time.
Martin explained his position by
saving that goods shipped to him
had not arrived and said he had re-
ceived only s1100 worth of orders.

OPERATORS IN FAVOR
OF STRIKE VOTE

Boston. June 4-The Telephone
Operators of the New England
Telephone Company affiliated with
unions connected with the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
workers have voted to poll a strike
in their fight for increased wages
and shorter hours. it was announced
late this afternoon when the returns
from the last local union, that at
Newport. VT, were received at head
quarters.
All of the locals but one voted
unanimously for the strike referen-
dunn and in that union the majority
voted in favor of the referendum.
This does not necessarily mean a
strike is inevitable. but shows the
sentiment of the operators to stand
back of the wage committee, which
now will attempt to hold further con-
ference with George H. Dresser,
General manager of the Telephone
Company. The wage committee will
meet tomorrow. Should strike
occur it is believed it will not take
place earlier than the middle of
July.
In reply to queries from members
OF unions in Maine and New Hamp-
shire, employed by subsidiary COM
panies of the New England Tele-
phone Company, Miss Julia S.
O'Connor. president of the Telephone
Operators Department, informed
these unions that as no increase had
been demanded for them, their op-
orators would not be expected to
participate in the strike vote.
or course if strike occurs
(Which at present is a remote pos
slbility) we would expect that's the
operators would not handle toll calls
INTO exchanges manned by strike
breakers, but we would not object to
their remaining on the job and Civ

nor.
