The burglar alarm on the Cub City
State bank, went off accidentally last
Tuesday morning, about 1870 o'clock,
making the villagers think the bank
was being held up. 1t was soon dis
covered there were no burglars pres
ent and the citizens went back to bed.
The News relates that it is very fine
thing to have burglar alarms on banks
but very disconcerting to have one go
off in the ,night-whether the alarm is
real or false.

u. S. EXPERT FISH CULTURIST|
MAKES REPORT ON LAKES

"The yellow perch, a native Of the
,reat lake region, was planted in Nor
non lake few years ago with re.
narkable success. Specimens weigh
ng up to 2R pounds have been taken
md fish of one pound are to be seen
IN practically every string. This fish
in high favor and Justly so as it is
onsidered by some as the best pam
'ish in the United States. and can
.lso be caught by anyone These fish
lave reproduced to such an extent
hat they are causing a scarcity Of the
arger forms of fish food and no
loubt the larger fish are existing
argely upon young perch. 1t is con-
;idered particularly important that
ninAows, presumably from Lakeside
pe introduced as no minnows are now
'ound in the lake. They would con-
,ume class of food which the perch
10 not use and in turn would be food
or the perch, thus augmenting to a
considerable extent the number of
ish that the lake can sustain. Con-
;idering the number Of perch now in
he lake it may not be an easy matter
establish the minnow but consider
most important measure.
1.-THE introduction of small-mouth
)ass, rock bass and bluegilI is also
ecommended. The small-mouth bass
md rock bass would inhabit the rocky
shores, where the perch and bass are
lot found as plentiful as in the othe;
portions. The water temperatures anC
conditions are very favorable for the
introduction Of the species mentioned
Che bluegill is so hardy and prolific
md of so excellent flavor that il
would vie in popularity with the neTch
md further it would consume class
# food forming but a minor part of
he diet of the other fishes and there
ore not seriously compete with them
StOneman's Lake
"A small lake of about 2/3 niles
n diameter and maximum depth Of
Is feet. This lake has a reported
abundance Of yellow perch and what
believed to be the blue spotted Oh
Green sunfish. A number Of these lat
er were found dead but in such
;tate of decay that positive Identified
ion was impossible. In this connec
ion every one of the dead fish was
emale heavy with eggs and death
nay have been due to an egg bound
condition. Spirogryra and Anabae;
las algae were exceedingly abundant
md the stencil from the decaying
Anabaenas almost nauseating. 1t is
lot improbable that the death of tht
emale sunfish was indirectly caused
rom the water condition which could
lot help but be low in oxygen and
nigh in carbon dioxide 1t is under
stood that few years back an at
tempt was made to introduce blael
bass but none of this specie has ever
been caught in Stonemans lake. A
no apparent reason is seen why black
bass would not thrive as well as the
perch and sunfish it is recommended
that another trial be made to intro
duce this specie from Mormon lake
Bluegils may also be introduced.

Fred j. Foster, expert fish culturist
Of the federal bureau of fisheries
makes a very interesting report te
Governor Hunt on the lakes of Ari-
izona relative to fishing conditions and
BEST means of restocking the lakes. In
peaking of the northern lakes, Mr.
Foster says:
"The remaining waters examined
we're lakes or reservoirs suited tt
warm water fishes. Arizona is in
Iced fortunate in having these fine
oodies of water which will afford rec
eation and bountiful supply of fish
% women, children and sportsmer
Who prefer this class of fishing tx
angling for trout. Tourists especially
will be attracted to such fine boda
# water as Mormon lake and the
evenue derived from them as we'll a.
he resulting advertising is of no
small importance. 1t therefore be
looves the state to take at least as
active an interest in these as the
.rout waters.
"At the present time the warm
water fishes are not as adequately
protected by law as are the trout. II
understood, however, that this con
dition will be rectified, possibly at the
lext session of the legislature. Care.
;hould be taken that laws are passed
giving protection during the spawning
.eason, reasonable bag limit which
will permit a fish to have reached ma
.urity and spawned at least once be-
ore retained after capture.
Lake Mary
"Ths body of water is about fou1
miles long by one wide. 1t was quite
urbid at the time of inspection and il
understood it is usually SO. Sew
aral dead strawberry bass and catfish
ere noticed on the shores but they
iad been dead so long that it was i'm
assible to determine the cause Of
cath 1t is understood that there arc
ONE bass in the lake but conditions
would indicate that it is more suitable
0 the true crappie and catfish than
J o.nei species. Owing to the tur-
,idity, vegetation is not abundant but
With sufficient decaying Anabaenas

Mormon Lake
"This fine lake is no doubt the mos
popular body of water in the state

md situated at an altitude sufficiently
Ugh to be delightfully."- cool every
light throughout the summer, there is
title wonder that visitors congregate
~ thousands, especially when excel
ent bass and yellow perch fishing arc
o be had. From a standpoint of fish
protection this lake is most excellent
lue to the fact that so much of it,
rea is comparatively shallow and of
character that the fish range over
practically the entire lake rather than
being confined to short distances near
shore 1t is understood that the maxi
mum depth is but 80 feet and the
most of the lake under eight feet.
The shore line is varied; part rocky

Dealers are ready to invest in desir-
able wools, at home and abroad,
though the turnover at a profit is
still difficult matter. The strong
close Of the London wool sales and
continued activity at advancing prices
in the Australian auctions have at
tracted considerable attention, and
strengthened wool opinion here as to
the future, Developments in the
goods trade have been somewhat ir-
regular, an unusual and unexpected
demand for staple worsteds for lnen's
wear being the feature. The recent
cold weather has stirred both con-
sumers and the trade in regard to the
future of heavy-Weights, especially
overcoatings, and predictions Of a
cold and hard winter are held to in

grades, something that is lacking at
the moment. Nothing has yet been
done in the new fall Texas clip, but
the mohair clip Of that state has been
taken over at good prices. Good
clearances are being made in Aus
tralia at advancing prices. Importa-
tions can still be made and laid down
here duty paid at less than the parity
of domestic woods of similar character
and usefulness. Both manufacturers
and goods buyers are operating very
cautiously, and the wool trade is also
trying to avoid the losses which
marked the first half Of 1925.
