SAVING LIVES OF FISH
Unique Method Adopted BY Game
Warden In jackson County


Jackson, March "a unique
method was adopted by the Jackson
County Game Protective league to
save the lives of thousands of game
fish in Clear lake, about four miles
west of Jackson, from being exter-,
minated for lack of air. Two large
holes were cut in the ice and
powerful rotary pump was used to
pump the water from one hole into
the other, thereby agitating the
water and forcing air under the ice.
Deputy Game Warden NJ B. Dunn
made an investigation of the lake a
short time ago and reported that un-
less holes were cut in the ice to give
the fish more air, they would die
from suffocation as the ice on the
lake is over two feet thick. The mat.
ter was brought to the attention Of
the Jackson County Game Protective
league who willingly agreed to pay
the necessary expense connected
with the work.
Mr.. Dunn was placed in charge OF
the work and with the assistance of
the farmers who reside near the
lake, thousands of fish were saved
rotary pump was secured from A. E.
Wallace OF this city, while one OF
the farmers furnished gas engine
to run the pump. The pump was
kept running all day Saturday and
part of Monday until it was evident
that sufficient air had been forced
under the ice to supply the fish until
the ice melts.
Mr.. Dunn reports that the water
in the lake had turned stagnant and
had miikiSh color. The lake has been
frozen over since last fall. No
epearing has been permitted on the
lake this winter on account of the
pickerel which were transferred
from Heron lake iG December.

CHURCH LOSING IT'S SKIP
pecIsration Made by Eapt;s, Pastor
In Rochester Meeting

In Rochester Meeting
Rochester,. March 3.-"I lie soul Of
thegchurch is in danger" declared
Rev. w. s. Stewart, pastor OF the
First Baptist church Of Lacrosse,
Wis, when speaking az the evening
session of the religious educational
conference now taking plare in the
city at the First Baptist church.
Rev. Stewart, substituting for Dr..
Young who was called away by the
Illness Of his daughter, spoke on
What the Church Must DO to Be
Saved" He SAID in part:
"The church must restudy the
forces that arc destroying it's pow
ers. 1t must realize that Il is the soul
OF the church that is in danger. 1t
must mobo!ize its strength to meet
the emergency.
LESS than As per cent OF thu pop
ulation cf our country belong to any
church. the majority OF the popu-
!ation are unchu-ched. A liberal es-
membership attend the church. The
that tho majority of these people are
children and young people. The
church Of today is not gaining and
holding the children as it should.
"Tae child must again be placed
in The midst Of the program Of the
church. Jesus took a child and
placed him in the midst of Thorn and
said, except ye become converted
and become as q little child, ye can
rot enter into the aingdom Of heav-
en- If the children are not saved
the church is lost.
"Ike church must rsdefine its aim
in terms that are understood by the
folks of today. What is the task of
tbs Christian church? To bring men
and women to accept life of serv-
ice instead of selfishness by choos-
ing Christ as Master rather than
self. Then, take these same folks
and teach them to observe all things
whatsoever He has commanded. IL
we are true in our analysis we will
admit that the church has tried to
win folks to Christ, but it has failed
in its program of teaching. Let us
remember that in the same COM
mand there is the challenge to 60
into all the world also teaching
them Let us never fail to evange-
lie, but let us also remember to
teach"
