for the boys welfare and bestoW her
great motherly love, which at times is

Never has the spring been so sue
cessful at the High IL Camps under
its present ownership as this year,
and never has fishing been better,
Only the other day our popular game
warden, Ed. King, took one beautiful
string of trout out Of Rowe Pond, ana
as Ed remarked to the writer 'They
are there and plenty of them if you
only know how to get them II
anyone knows where to find them and
how to catch them after finding where
they are, Ed King surely does.
