SLEET STORM DAMAGES
Northern Wisconsin Suffered
From Severe Sleet Which
Damaged Property and
Trees.

Mondays sleet storm has work
eel untold damage to telephone and
telegraph lines in this section and
ruined many shade trees and lake
frontage tree growth by breaking
down branches and whole trunks.
Starting in early Monday morn
ing with rain, which froze as it
fell upon traffic lines and trees,
this section had it's worst storm of
the year Traffic lines were brok-
en- by the weight of the ice and
telephone poles were snapped off,
blocking communication for some
hours. Trees were broken down
and in many instances partially
stripped of their branches.
At the Riverside Fox Ranch,
which is, builded among magnifi-
cent pine trees and which houses
some fifty pens with silver black
and Alaskan blue foxes, trees and
heavy branches broke under the
weight and crushed the pens. Be-
fore damage to the foxes could
occur they were liberated from the
small pens to the main yard. 1t
being breeding season and many
filters of pups just having been
born, the situation was critical up
to last night when The breeding
foxes were quoted down. Mr..
Henry the owner, states that the
damage to his ranch is consider
able.
The storm was most sever from
Watersmeet down to Monico. From
Eagle River to Arbor Vitae lake
evidences yesterday If terno n
showed trees badly broken up by
the heavy sleet end ice. From
Arbor Vitae to Minocqua practical
ly no damage was done, except at
Dennis Paquette's place between
Woodruff and Arbor Vitae several
telephone poles were broken and
telephone lines snapped off.
Today the heavy rain gives evil
dence of eliminating the sleet, but
should it turn cold and freeze
there will be still greater damage
in this section.

A P E ECT DAY

Come with me to the North with its whispering trees
And breathe the fragrant odor pine ladened breeze
We will leave all thoughts of the city behind
And dwell there in harmony-away from mankind.
we will awake with the birds and greet the sum-
AS 1T softens the darkness of the night is done
We will roam thru the woods it's beauty to vew
Rejecting the freshness of dawns early dew
we VIII wander thru valleys longside ripping brooks
And rest short while in each shady nook.
We will climb to the summit the hills that are high
And will study the clouds they drift thru sky
We will Jingle with the silence Of the shadows creep
All thru the woods and hull nature to sleep.
AS the sun is setting and the day grows old,
When all life is quiet and the skys painted with gold
We will watch for the with it's lustrous beams
AS it lights the of the lakes streams
Mellowing the darkness and marking the way
To beautiful ending of Perfect Day

HAS JUST FOUND 1T OUT
Milwaukee News Finds Re-
sort Owners Are Far From
Being Destructionists.

In the Wisconsin News recently
there appeared the following ar
ticle relative to the resort men of
this lake region, the writer just
having found out that we believe
in conserving instead of destroy
ing wild life in the woods or in
the lakes and streams.
There are resort owners and re-
sort owners in upper Wisconsin.
For instance, there's Angus Nc
Donald of Three Lakes, Wis. Four
Chicago fishermen, q didn't say
"sportsmen") came to Angus re-
sort last May. Guests that come
to the northern resorts in May
are welcome guests. They are
helping pay an overhead that is
heavy, just then.
These four came and were well
coined. They went out to fish.
1t wasn't the fishing season. They
brought back four nice pike. An
gus met them at the pier.
Il want your business, gentle
men," he said, "and l can we'll use
it in May but no man can bring
illegally caught fish, or illegally
killed game onto my premises at
any time of the year,
Be it said to the everlasting
honor of the fishermen, they took
the fish elsewhere and stayed on
with Angus. | don't know wheth-
er they caught more fish, illegally,
or not; but Angus had done his
part.
Then there's Fred Strubel at
Connor's lake. When he first
opened his resort the situation
was as nearly pathetic as it ever
gets, up there in the north. Fred
had something like Is people
working around the place and
about four guests. One of the
guests went out and shot some
thingI misremember what. He
brought it in, pridefully display
ing it around the place. Then
Fred spied it. That guest was re-
quested to depart from thence UNI
less he could learn the Wisconsin
game laws and could make up his
mind to observe them.
Also, there's John Oliver of Star
Lake. | don't know anything
about him, firsthand; but in a re-
port made to the Izaak Walton
league by DIR. F. w. Kappelmann,
chairman of it's fish and game
committee, is a paragraph to this
effect:
There's at least one resort
keeper who won't tolerate slaught-
.er IN the forests; and because he
has seen what happens up there
during the hunting season he re-
fuses absolutely to house deer
hunters or to give them aid and
comfort Of any kind"
That isn't an exact quotation,
but that's about what the doctor
told the Izaak Walton league.
Also, there's Charlie Lacy, of
Mercer. Some time soon I'm go
ing up there to Arapahoe lodge
and see how Charlie really behaves
himself in his native haunts. But
anyway, he's advocating a two
year closed season for deer and
has pretty keen realization that
wild life is his biggest stock in
trade.
The point is that the Long Trail
in Wisconsin, will become Trails
End for these resort keepers, for
Wisconsin folks themselves and
for the tourist, unless Wisconsin
preserve it's forests and its game.
But there isn't another creed on
conservation.-F. w. Luening in
Wisconsin News.

PROTESTS SEEK
 $69,OOO TO
 RUN" ELECTIONS
International Labor News.

Washington, D. C., April 19-Or- ganized pacifsts, with headquarters in Washington, want to raise $69,855 for pacifist propaganda. This is in addi- ton to $11 ,525 already raised to cover administration costs.
 This campaign is being carried on III the name of the National Council for the Prevention of War This or ganization came into being during the disarmament conference in opposition to the disarmament committee formed under the leadership of the American Federation of Labor because the la bor committee was not a pacifst committee.
 The money now asked for is largely for use in the coming campaign for the election of senators and con- gresmen who will back the pacihst program.
 The program calls for speakers flor 1000 meetings and help in co-ord1- | hating the peace work of 40 Amer
 ican organizations" It calls also for
 research workers" and publicity sec
 retaries1 as we'll as legislative and
 educational campaigners. In addi-
 ton, an advertising campaign to be
 paid for by local groups is planned. , The pacifst headquarters publishes
 a list of 40 "participatig organiza-
 tions" and cooperating organiza-
 tions," many of which have no pacifst leanings whatever, but all of which are made to appear as sponsoring the pacifst work of the National Council for the Prevention of War
 The methods used are in accord with the most approved interlocking directorate methods of the whole parlor pink and pacihst propaganda, with small central group propa- gandizing in the name of great or ganizations which may or may. not know what is being done in their name.
 The American Federation of Labor has from the first refused to have any relation with the National Council for the Prevention of War, although so- licitations of the most eager nature were made immediately following the conclusion of the disarmament con- ference. It was represented at that time that the National Council was blaming powerful international or ganization and that its aims were in accord with the aims of the A. F. of L. The advances were rejected by the A. F. of L. because the A. F. of L. never has been a pacifst organiza- ton, although 1t always has been one of the most active of all organizations in the effort to end wars.

work was beaten until unconscious. Two boy prisoners were brutally beat en with s1edge hammer handles.
 Prison barbarity such as disgraces the 10th century is not confined to the South, though 1t very likely is more widespread in that section. As long as men are given virtually linn itless power over other, as is the case in many prisons, brutality and abuses of authority will continue The only remedy is constant vigilance on the part of those who realize that pris- oners are human beings and entitled to square deal and the rousing of the public conscience to the end that offenders against the law shall be treated justly and mercifu1ly.

Comment and Criticism About Things

Figures recently issued by the Chil- Department of Labor emphasize the necessity for quick action on the child labor amendment now before Con gress.
 The report indicates that child la Dor is on the increase, and confirms the results of previous investigations According to the bureau, of 34 cities furnishing statistics of employmen, certificate issuance in 1923, 2o re- ported an increase in the number of children under 16 entering regular employment for the first time during the calendar year 1923 as compared with 1922 In these 34 cities the number of IA and 15year-old children receiving first regular employment certificates was 35,686 in 1922 and oO,- 166 in 1925
 In 19 of the cities reporting there was an increase of at least 20 per cent. and in 9, the increase was approxi- Oo PSI SS4l. oI
 In view of the alarming increase of child labor, there is no excuse for Congress delaying favorable action on the child labor amendment Now is the time for every man and woman opposed to the exploitation of children to let Congress know that the nation demands an end of child slavery in mill, mine and factory.
 People who live in glass houses should not throw stones"
