COMMUNICATED

Eagle River Review:
After reading some of the res
olutions passed at the meeting of the
Izaak Walton League, at Eagle River
and finding that there was no one
from our part of the country present
at the meeting, / think it was very
kind of the League to take so much
interest in protecting the fish over
in our part of the Manitowish Waters
such as prohibiting fishing in Nixon
Greek, Nixon Lake, Johnson Creek,
John Lake and from Fishtrap Dam to
Fishtrap Lake. / wonder that they
omitted Boulder, Fishtrap and High
Lakes. OF course. we might be able
to hire some one to burn down all of
the resorts and private homes located
on these lakes that it is desired to
close for fishing purposes, and in that
way, realize something on the invest
ments that have been made there, but
otherwise, a good many people over
here would be heavy losers. In view
of the fact, that the meeting took no
action in regard to protecting the
wild life in the lakes and streams in
other parts of the county, l would
suggest to them that, it might be ad-
visable also, to prohibit fishing in
Ballard Lake. Big st. German and
down the river to the main Wisconsin,
river and from the power dam to
Eagle River,
Yours truly,
VIM. PAQUETTE,

My dear Edna: DON'T DO 1T. ]
know of no greater injustice you could
do this man who loves you than to
marry him without love. You will not
only wreck your own lifeyou will
wreck his.
You speak of making him unhappy
by breaking off with him. You will
make him more unhappy eventually
by marrying him without love. You
cannot pretend a love you do not
feel for any great length of time. The
pain he will suffer when you tell him
you no longer love him is nothing
compared with what he will suffer
when he learns of your deceit in pre-
tending to love him.
When q, woman marries man she
does, not love, there is but a small
possible chance that she will love him
after marriage. That chance is one
in hundred. On the other hand the
chances are ninety-nine in hundred

Many features for the improve

report of the Washington Board OF
Trades committee on parks and res

The report, which reviews better

its praise of Charles c. Glover, ST.,
who donated the 1I-acre tract of land
to the parking system of the National
Capital.
In order that the work of the new
ly established National Capital Park
Commission should be carried on TO
the fullest extent, the committee
asks that the Bureau of the Budget,
Congress and the President for sew
eral years to come allow the appro-
priation Of the maximum amount
authorized by the law. This provides
for sum equal to l cent per, capita
of the population OF the United
States, or approximately $t.IO5.Oo0.
