Young Again Paws Fine.

George Young, member of the
firm of Young & Young, patent at
torneys of Milwaukee, who is
spending the summer at Franklin
lake, was again arrested last week
Wednesday and taken to Crandon
before Judge w. A. Wescott for
violation of the game laws. He was
fined 500 and costs, the maximum
which the judge could give him.
Young just three weeks ago was
pinched by Warden Devine for hav-
ing venison in possession. Judge
Westcott gave him 500 fine and
costs. Last week Tuesday night
Devine again caught Young on
Franklin using a fashlight in a
boat, wherein lay a shotgun and in
Young's pockets were two shells
filled with No. s buckshot. When
compelled to come ashore and ex-
plain, Young told the warden ne
was just out showing his friend a
deer by hashlight. His explanation
of the shotgun and shells was very
weak and at Crandon the next day
Westcott imposed the maximum
for hunting at nighttime. Young
was given to understand that if
caught again it would be a sem
tence instead Of a fine.

HE TAKES EXCEPTIONS
H. Oberholtzer, Ex-warden,
Wonders Why No Reply
Was Made to Fenske Ar
ticle.

Quie number of men make a
jump occasionally at a conclusion
and condemn another person be-
fore ascertaining the whyfores, or
for that matter condemn silence
which to distorted minds seems to
be a crime in itself; never stop to
inquire just why such and such a
thing was not done or why it was
carried out without delving into
the facts necessary to explain legi-
bly, to the public.
Last weeks issue of the Eagle
Review carried an article from the
pen Of Ex-warden Henry Oberholt-
ger, who is all worked up over an
article which VIM. Fenske pub
lished under his signature couple
weeks ago relative to the ''horrid''
condition in which our game fish
lakes have been placed by having
hatchery located at Eagle River.
The trend of Oberholtzer's article
dealing with the attitude of the
News editor in this matter is
given for the readers information
in order that he may be further
enlightened as to the cause of the
publicity and publication of the
Fenske article:
1t appears peculiar to me that
the editor Of the Villas County
News, who advocates propaga-
ton and protection, sponsors
associations of this nature and
who assumes to be authority on
past and existing conditions,
would print such an article with
out editorial comment. The only
conclusion to arrive at, espec-
tally after referring to back issues
of the News, is that the editor
IS anxious and willing to take a
rap at the Conservation Commits
sion and the state administra-
ton whenever opportunity pre-.
sents itself"
Fenskes article, under his own
signature, was given publication as
coming from him; his own expires.
sion and not that of any other per-
son. In itself, it was self-condem-
natory, insomuch that it was writ
ten without first ascertaining
there was any foundation
of truth in what the statements
called for. Most every reader was
aware Of this, except possibly Mr..
Oberholtzer, who, if he had in
quired Of the writer would have
been told why the silence"
For the information of Mr.. Ober-
hotter, and any other person con-
cernedI the News editor might di-
rect them to Barney Devine, the
present efficient conservation war
den, who will inform them that he
was asked Immediately after the
Fenske article was handed in, to go
to the hatchery and to the state,
and get the facts" concerning the
hatchery's shipping carloads of fry
away from our lakes. When the
proper information is handed us
from those who know, then reply
will be given to the Fenske article
and not before. We consider
neither the Fenske article nor that
of Oberholtzer to be worth giving
space to, for neither it appears,
have endeavored to secure the facts
before coming out in print with a
misleading article under their own
signatures.

MILLION DOLLAR RACE
Fifth Speed Boat Contest on
Cranberry Claimed Atten-
ton of Thousands.

"a million dollar race" is what
one excited spectator called the
fifth annual speed classic held on
Cranberry lake last Sunday after
noon. And he voiced the opinion
of many thousands who came from
all over the country to witness this
racing Of speed crafts on the lower
chain, feat performed each year
and which, as time progresses,
builds for better boats and higher
rate Of speed.
With boats going better than
forty miles an hour, it was as ex-
citing a period in the average per-
sons life as one would care to hook
up with once every so often. The
finish of the big boats was so
spectacular that il was not until
the last fraction Of the race that
the winner could be picked and
that only counted for seconds be-
fore the finish-buoy was reached.
The finish of Lady Billie was simply
astonishing. She was lead by the
Trojan and the Howdy almost to
the tape. Then she opened up and
came in under flying colors, beat
ing the Trojan by six feet and the
Howdy by a little more.
In all time the big event was be-
ing staged, it showed cleanliness in
craftsmanship and it was to the
best driven boat to win under full
pressure for neither of the three
had any apparent advantage over
the other crafts. Four boats en-
tered in this contest when the time
was called for the race: Lady Billie
by c. H. Foster; Trojan by Carter
Hermann; Howdy by Howdy Tyson;
Horace E. by Ray Tennes.
Owing to the Pee Jay owned by
P. j. Schaefer, catching fire during
the trial run, it was not entered
Sunday.
The following are the winners and
the time made in the fastest lap,
which was over a three and half

On Labor Day there will be an
other race in which the ten fastest
crafts on the Eagle Waters will
participate. With the record made
at the Sunday race, there is no
question but that a much larger
crowd of fans will see it. Sundays
crowd is estimated at several
thousand; there is no way Of deter
mining the number along the
shores of Cranberry, but the figures
run all the way from two to five
thousand spectators.

REV. (. M. VAN MARTER

The town of ketchlkan was badly scared for a time when 1t learnel that the eloquent Van Marter was ordered transferred to Wasnngton. The Commercial Club and others who seldom think of going to church and who are responsible for the "red light district" and wink at "boot- logging" were much alarmed and passed resolutions to keep the Rev erend here There was time when the reverent gentleman preached crusades against the visible forces of evil; but the day has come when the Ketchikan Chamber of Com merce who have it in their power to clean this city want him to stay. Yea, it has even gone farther than that. The prominent Roman Catho- lies of this town have also joined in endorsing the Methodist preacher. Ye shades of Martin Luther. When the Roman Catholics want Metho- dist preacher to stay in town, what kind of a Protestant is he? None of you heard these same people mourning when the Rev. H. E. Bush had to go, did you? There is a reason.

interview was almost wholly an inn aginery one on the part of the New fork Reporter.
 Miss Falldine is doing real mis- sionary work among the Indians. She sees their needs and is learning these people are struggling to raise their standard of living. Large com munities are without medical atten- tion of any kind. Yakutat is such a place. This town of nearly 300 people has no doctor or nurse. A great deal could be accomplished by the government in this direction.
 Two things most needed in Yaku- tat are a doctor or nurse, and nine months school The Alaska Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood there are very active in boosting for these two things.

Chesapeake, the Great Lakes, and other waters over which it had no jurisdiction, claiming they nullified all their efforts at restoration. In Alaska, where they have had su- preme control, and in a stupid way made efforts towards restoration, they have offered no restrictions. Why?
 In our case they are not only manifestly destructive to our fish cries, but our whole economic life as well. There cannot be anything but social and economic retrogression just as long as they are permitted. I want to thank you for your cheering assurance that our resources will be protected. We, who call Alaska Home, and have given the best years of our lives for her up building and advancement, have every confidence in your intentions, and ask for nothing but square deal.
 With best wishes, I am,

MEDICAL CARE

There is no person who works with more care among all classes of people than Miss Marie E. Fall dine, R. N. Last month we had oc- casion to comment on reported interview which was printed in the New York Times. Because it was a slam On the Indians, Stroller White reprinted it, and because the Stroll Ter did so, we felt obliged to explain wherein the interview was incorrect. Since then we have learned that the

'YOLANDA" film With
MARION DAVIES COMING
Lavish Production To Be Shown AT
Empire Theatre Next Wednes-
day And Thursday

The next big feature picture to be
shown at the Empire Theatre is the
Cosmopolitan production OF "Yolan-
d." starring Marion Davies, which
is booked for next Wednesday and
Thursday.
The production of "Yolanda" is the
most lavish yet made by Cosmopolitan
Productions for it's series of photo
plays starring Miss Davies. The life,
the color and the romance of me-
dieval France are transferred to the
screen with remarkable artistry.
In this romantic masterpiece of the
cinema art, Miss Davies is said to
achieve new heights in her subtle
Characterization of the charming Prin-
cess Mary of Burgundy, daughter of
Charles the Bold, who whimsically i'm
personates the character of Yolanda,
a burglar maid, in order to test the
sincerity of the love of her impetous
admirer, Maximillan of Styria.
Tense and dramatic scenes are en-
acted throughout the film with real
ism seldom attained. Nearly two
thousand perosns were required to en-
act scenes depicting the armies of
the conflicting forces and to add color
and realism to the action. The pic
ture moves swiftly presenting scene
after scene of stupendous scope.
Two other pictures of unusual merit
will also be shown at the Empire next
week. Hoot Gibson, in 'Let'er Buck, y
is the attraction for Monday and
Tuesday, and Harold Lloyd, in "Safety
Last" comes on Friday and Saturday

Crescent Lodge Presented
With Old Masonic Relic

The Masonic Lodge in this city is in
possession of what, in way, is Ma
sonic relic. While, in itself, it is in
dicative of nothing pertaining to Ma
sonry, it's long association with lodge
meetings gives it Masonic value.
This is the old reed organ which was
in use in the Temple at Baltimore
before the fire. Through the interces-
sion of George Cooke, Grand Secre-
tary, the organ was presented to the
lodge here. E. Wilfred Ross, presiding
officer of the Chapter here, was also
instrumental in getting the instru-
ment, he having pushed the request
for the same. 1t is useless to say the
members here set great store by this
ancient music box.

w. II. Clarke & Co., To
Stage Big One Cent Sale

By reference to the advertising col
umns of the Democrat the public may
inform themselves as to the big one
cent sale the enterprising drug firm
Of VIM. H. Clarke & Company will
start next week.
AS explained, this sale gives to the
buyer two articles of the same kind
for the purchase price of one cent.
Buy one and you get another for one
cent.
This firm has, in the past, conduct
ed these sales, but never before on
such a large scale. An immense
stock of useful household articles has
been laid in, and preparation has been
made to supply large demand.
However, a rush is expected for
these goods, and those desiring such
articles as may be on sale would do
well to visit the rooms of Clarke &
Company as early as possible.

Barrel Falls On Ankle;
TtUo Bones Fractured

Samuel M. Mock, the popular and
accommodating Standard Oil sales
man, had the misfortune to meet with
an accident this week, which has laid
him up for awhile.
Mr.. Mock was engaged in placing
some barrels Of oil in place on racks
provided for such, when the one at
which he was at work collapsed and
caught Mr.. Nock's ankle under the
weight Of the barrel.
1t was thought at first Mr.. Nock's
ankle was more seriously injured than
afterward proved. AS it is, two small
bones were found partially fractured,
when the X-Ray was used.
He is now getting on as well as
could be expected.

SCHOOL OYERCROWDED;
PORTABLE ROOM BUILT
Board OF Education Forced To Pro-
vide Additional Building For
Pupils OF Pocomoke.

Owing to the crowded condition of
the public school in this city, the
Board of Education has been COM
PEELED to provide additional room, and
are now having erected on the cam
pus portable house, which will be de-
voted to manual training purposes.
Miss Graham, who has charge of
this department will move into it as
soon as finished, and her room will be
given over to the use of some of the
lower grades.
The new building will be 20 feet x
40 feet, with IL foot ceiling, and the
material used will be pine throughout.
II was purchased from the Minter
Corporation, of Huntington, Va, and
has seating capacity of forty pupils.
The building will be assembled by
the Miles Sectional Building Company
Of this city, which will insure a good
job.
1t will answer all the requirements
of the State of Maryland as to STAN
dardization, and will be heated with a
jacketed stove.
The room will be located in the rear
of the middle building, on the old
basket ball court, facing Cedar street,
and will be painted the same color as
are the old buildings. 1t will have
water service and perhaps light. AS
stated before in the columns of the
Democrat, this building, erected at a
cost of fifteen hundred dollars, is the
beginning Of long list of expendi-
lures which will be made necessary by
the increasing demands Of public edu-
cation in this county. It would seem
better to meet the situation by the
erection of houses adapted to the pur-
pos, and give Worcester decent homes
for it's school population.

AN EXPLANATION.

The Democrat regrets that the
name of M. L. Veasey appeared as
one of the advisory board in connec-
ton with the circulation campaign
the Democrat will start next week.
Mr.. Veasey explains that his large
business interests would not enable
him to give the campaign that study
and attention he considered it needed,
and would prefer not to be included
on the Board.
While his name was printed on the
circulars sent to certain individuals,
it is omitted from the double page in
today's issue, explaining the workings
of the campaign.
