Those who have read the immor-
tai Izaak Walton know that he de-
voted as much time and patience
to directions for cooking fish as he
did for those for catching them.
He knew how to do it! Reread part
Of his book. His directions for
cooking pike is classic in itself.
1t would take the better part Of
two hours just to prepare the pike,
make the sauces, and favorings.
But it is worth it. We are too
much inclined to prepare our fish
with an axe and cook it as though
we were preparing a trough full of
meat for the hounds.

Speaking of Strange Fish

The climbing fish, of India, is six
inches long, and can travel on land,
can climb trees. 1t is enabled to
crawl on the land by retaining wa
ter in its gill interstices, especially
adapted for storage. It climbs
trees by means of it's spinous gill
covering. And it looks just like
any other fish. Don't believe it?
Look it up in the dictionary or en-
cyclopedia. It's listed under climb
ing-hsh or climbing perch.

No Symptoms of Insanity

Frances May Myers, %, Of Arbor
Vitae, q deaf mute, was brought to
the County Judges Court Tuesday
morning, on a complaint made as
to her sanity. Doctors Oldheld and
Thorpe, after a thorough examina-
tion failed to find any symptoms of
insanity. Like many other persons
Of like alfhction, she has spent
nearly her whole life in state insti-
tutions for deaf mutes and has be-
come SO accustomed to the routine
work Of those schools that she finds
1t difficult to adapt herself to any
other surroundings. Her mother
was not able to understand the pc
culiar stubborness Of her daughter
and owing to the fact that people
afflicted as she is are subject to
outbreaks OF violent temper. she
thought that her daughters mind
was affected. Several times lately
the girl has openly rebelled and
struck her mother when told to do
things a certain way which was
not in accordance to rules at the
institutions Miss Myers is intelli-
gent and answers questions very
readily when written out. An at
tempt is now being made by Miss
Christman, the county nurse to Sc
cure for her a helpers position in
one of the State institutions.

BIG REMOVAL PROGRAM
Two Thousand Miles of Wis
consin Roads to be Kept
Clear of Snow

Two thousand miles Of State and
county highways in Wisconsin will
he kept free from snow this winter,
according to N. NJ. Isabella, main
tenance engineer Of the State high
way commission, in an interview
with the Milwaukee Journal.
Mr.. Isabella points out that the
advisability Of keeping the roads
clear depends on the amount Of
traffic and the cost of doing the
work. In the northern part of the
State where sleighs and teams are
the accustomed mode Of winter
transportation little is being done
to remove snow or prevent drifting
because the sleds can usually get
through. This is one reason why
little state aid for snow removal
can be secured.
On the other hand, many coun-
ties in the southern and eastern
parts Of the state that formerly
made no provision for snow removal
or snow protection are now taking
up this work, largely because of
the growing feeling on the part Of
taxpayers that the roads should be
open at all seasons in order that
they might get the most use out Of
their highway equipment for the
money. More than ever before,
farmers are hauling their products
to market in trucks or automobiles,
and egg, milk and cream gathering
routes must be kept up the year
around.
Keeping Wisconsin roads clear
is entirely a county NATTER" says
Mr.. Isabella, as there are no State
funds available for that purpose.
According to the law, however,
when 80 signers in a community re-
quest the highway department to
Eeep a road open the commission
can order the county to clear it. In
that case 80 per cent of the cost
may be charged against the town,
village or city in which such road
lies, while the remainder must come
out Of the county fund. Several
counties are following the example
set by Minnesota, New York and
Nebraska and are erecting picket
fences 100 to $50 feet from the
road to keep the drifts from form
ing on the highway. The snow
that falls on the road is in most
cases kept off by the regular patrol
men"
Last winter was comparatively
open, so many roads were kept
clear. The average cost of Wiscon-
sins snow removal for the 412 miles
under the snow removal program
Of 1924 as given by James M.
McCord Of the United States bu-
reau Of public roads was $3.50 per
mile The cost of this work in the
various States varied considerably,
ranging to $212 a mile in Mime
sofa. Minnesota's high cost is partly
attributed to a rather high initial
cost of putting in snow fences and
purchasing new snow fighting ma
teria.
