this purpose as the others have to
organize to oppose the measures.
The recognition accorded the
mothers and sisters of Ely has been
confined solely to the privilege of

The League decided to endorse
DIR. H. G. Newgord for director at
the coming school election as one
of the two to be elected. AS the
school laws call for filings to close
twelve days before election and not
ten days as is the case in city cleo
tions, the candidate did not get on
the ballot but will conduct a sticker
campaign backed by the members
of the League.

MAY MAKE A CHANGE
IN FISHING LAWS.
SPORTSMEN CONSIDER ELIMIN.
ATING SIZE LIMIT CLAIM
ING SMALL FISH ARE
KILLED.

Now that the fishing season is on
in full swing, it may be we'll to
again glance at the rules and regu-
lations governing the taking of
game fish in Minnesota waters.
Fishermen and sportsmen seem to
be satisfied with the time of the
season opening but considerable talk
is heard regarding small fish. A
large number of small fish are taken
and are being thrown back into the
water. The claim is also made that
the larger part of those thrown back
are injured and die.
The proposition will be put up to
the legislature this fall to limit the
days catch to a certain figure and
take off the size restrictions. This
move will meet with popular favor
on the part of sportsmen as the
large number of dead small fish
lining the shores of lakes sub
stimulates the theory that many of
the small! fish die after being
caught and thrown back.
Here is a synopsis Of .Minnesota's
regulations:
Black bass large or small-mouth
Not less than nine inches in
length; not to exceed ten in one
day, or 20 in possession at one time.
Trout Except lake trout mot
less than seven inches; not more
than Is in one day, not more than
so in possession at one time.
Lake trout-Not less than 16
inches; no. to exceed 10 in one day.
or 20 IN possession at one time.
Wall-Eye Pike-Not less than IA
inches; not to exceed 10 in one
day.
Sandpike or Saugers-Not less
than 10 inches; not to exceed % in
one day.
Pickerel-Not less than Ia inches;
not to exceed rs in one day.
interchangeable less than 80
inches; not to exceed five in one
day.
Crapples-Not less than seven
inches; not to exceed 20 in one day.
Rock Bass-Not less than six
inches; not to exceed % in one day.
Sunfsh-Not less than inches;
not to exceed 20 IN one day.
Yellow Perch-No size or catch
limits, except as fixed by commits
sioner.
With the exception Of yellow
perch, it is unlawful to buy or sell
the foregoing species at any time.
1t is unlawful to take more than
25 fish of a mixed variety in one
day, and this bag must not contain
more of a given species than the
number fixed by law. It is un-
lawful to waste fish, even when the
angler has complied with the regula-
tions. The nonresident angling
license in Minnesota is So. Every
nonresident fisherman is required
to obtain one. He is permitted to
take one parcel of fish, not to ex-
coed rs pounds, out of the state in
one season. Coupon must be at
tached to such parcel.

endorse the measure in resolution
of the county board. Miss Gladys
Lindblad rendered two vocal solos
very artistically and was roundly
applauded. She was accompanied by
Miss Lillian Schaefer at the piano.
County Attorney Forbes when in
troduced by President Parker spoke
briefly and entertainingly Of the OBJ
jects of the Lions and embellished
his remarks with several. humorous
stories. He stated that the Lions
and Kiwanis clubs felt that Rotary
was the parent organization but
that there was room for all and
each had its niche to fill in the
world of service.
The main address of the evening
was made by Judge Freeman who
spoke from a patriotic standpoint
citing American history from the
time of Washington to the present
day and illustrated the Rotarian
principles Of Service by memoirs of
great men and cited the historical
facts that made them great men.
He eulogized Washington and Lin
coin as among the greatest. Judge
Freeman stated that it was the
little things of everyday life that
made men great. He was at his
best on the subject and gave one
of the neatest addresses heard here
in some time-full of advice and
philosophy punctuated by short
flights of humor for which he is
famous.
The M. E. church ladies served a
fine dinner and~the club members

FIRE DEPARTMENT KEPT
BUSY FOR THREE DAYS.

A fire call on the Fourth just as
the parade ended, called the Depart
ment to the vicinity of the railroad
yards where a grass fire threatened.
No particular damage was done.
Saturday at about 10 o'clock a
fire originating in shed in the rear
of the residence adjoining Kapsch's
meat market, threatened the build
ings in that block. The fire had
secured a good start before the
alarm was turned in. Five strealas
of water and rapid work on the
part of the department saved the
residence and also the adjoining re-
frigerator and buildings with COM
paratively small loss. ~
Sunday the department was called
to the grounds near the new school
building where a peat fire in the
low ground had assumed unman-
ageable proportions and the de-
partment was necessary to keep it
from spreading to the school
grounds and buildings.

YOU MAY NOT GET A
HUNTING LICENSE.
THE LARGER PART OF THOSE
WHO HUNTED FAILED TO
REPORT.

Thousands of Minnesotans are
looking forward to the next hunting
season without giving thought to the
possibility that they might not be
privileged to hunt. Such prospect,
however, is not remote, for maj
ority of all those who hunted last
season have by their failure TO
comply with the law, eourted dis
appointment when they apply for
their licenses next fall.
Probably majority of Minnesota
hunters are good sportsmen who pay
strict attention to regulations gov
erning open and closed season and
bag limits. But it is equally true
that a majority have jeopardized
their right to a 1924 hunting license
by neglecting to report to the Game
and Fish department as to the num-
Der of game birds and animals taken
by them last season.
Such a report is required by law,
and refusal of another license is the
penalty for neglect. Maybe the
average sportsman assumes that his
failure to comply with this provision
of the law has been overlooked by
the Game and Fish department, but
he is only fooling himself. The de-
partment has compiled complete
list of 1923 licensees, complete
list of those who have reported their
seasons shoot, and complete list
of those who have failed to do so.
The law provides: Every person
to whom a license to take birds or
quadrupeds is issued shall, on or be-
fore thirty days after the expiration
Of his license, make written re-
port to the commissioner on form
prepared and furnished by him, stat
ing the kind and number of each
bird or quadruped taken under such
license. A licensee who willfully
fails or neglects to make such report
shall not be granted a license to
take birds or quadrupeds for one
year thereafter"
The foregoing provision has been
fiagrantly violated in every county
in Minnesota, and the department is
compiling for publication by the
newspapers of the several counties
list of the names and addresses of
all licensees in such counties who
have failed to report as required by
law.
AS an illustration of the wide
spread neglect of this provision,
Ramsey county issued 1925
licenses in the fall of 1923; of these,
only LAT reported and 9,279 failed
to report. Hennepin county issued
1928 licenses; 6,327 reported, and
1901 failed to report. st. Louis
county issued 1913 licenses; 1853
reported and 9,494 Nailed to report.
Although the ratio varies in the
several counties, Becker, Sherburne
and Traverse are the three only
counties in which the returns out
number those who failed to report.
Every license issued carried a re-
port card on which the seasons
shoot might be tabulated, with in
structions for making returns. so
neglect must be charged to indiffer-
ence. These reports are essential
in the compilation of data relating
to the increase or decrease of vari-
Gus species of wild life. and serve
as a basis in fixing bag limits and
determining other facts necessary
to the protection and propagation OF
game.
If you failed to report within
thirty days, you have waived your
right to license next fall. Prob.
ably the next best thing is to do il
now.

While both of these organizations
are expected to have financial assist

will be conducted by men favorable
to Republican success and in the
committees will be many Independent

they wish to do what they can to in

today:
"The Republican campaign will

linois, calling on President Coolidge
today, said there was no doubt Of

that Indiana would be safe for the
