The so-called mississippi Bill"
now being consumated by concur
renee Of the several legislatures of
the various states bordering on the
Wmneshiek Bottoms is the greatest
conservation measure that has ever.
been brought about in this country.
This is result of the efforts of The
Izaak Walton League of America,
and particularly of its president,
Will Dig. The legislatures of Min
nesota and Iowa have already con-
Cured, while Wisconsin is ready, if
she has not even done so, at this
writing. Illinois, alone, has as yet
not given her consent to government
purchase Of her lands along the bot
toms. Ii is to be hoped that she will
take such action before the close of
the present session of her legislature.
1t is assured that she will if pressure
viii have any effect upon the mem
bers of her legislative bodies. This
action assures for all time inviolate
nesting places for our song birds and
for our water fouls. 1t also per-
petuates the greatest incubator of
fresh-water fish in the world. 1t is
impossible to estimate the economic
value of the bird, fish, and other ami
nal life that comes from the Winnie
shiek every year Results such as
this speak for an organization and
justify its existence.
The idea that trout can be taken
only on the garden hackel" at the
opening Of the season, is a mistaken
one. OF course, if the opening day
be cold and rainy it would be diff
icult to get them to take fly. But,
given a clear, warm day, the fy-fish-
eman has more than even chances
of making a satisfactory catch. His
selection of flies should be made in

accordance with the season. The
Black gnat, March-brown, Mosquito,
Hares ear, and Dusty-miller are all
that he can possibly need. These
should be tied on numbers twelve or
fourteen hooks, and should be fished
wet"
1t is entirely probable that the
present legislature of the state of
Wisconsin is going to place the size
limit back on all game fish. This,
we believe, is as it should be. Too
many took advantage Of the lack of
restrictions to slaughter the small
fish. This may not have mad as bad
result on our trout rs it did on
some other game fish. Last summer
the writer saw party of three with
their boat anchored in shallow water
among lily pads on one of our north
ern lakes, a spot inhabited by baby
bass alone. These men were murder
ing these babies and were within
their legal rights. No one worthy
of the name fisherman would have
thought of taking these little fellows
from the water. 1t is just this class
of (In) human beings that make
game and fish laws necessary.
Along this same line it might be
well to state that an "honest to God"
sportsman viii not bait-ish with a
hook so small that it can be swal-
lowed by understood trout. A num-
Der three or four hook is plenty
small enough to take trout of reas-
enable size. Six and seven inch fish
cannot swallow this hook. The use
of these larger sizes of trout hooks
is a real conservation measure and
one that everyone who has the well
fare of the sport at heart should be
willing to adopt.

Annuifies Were Issued in
Early Babylonian Times

Historically annuities antedate life
insurance by far. 1t is thought that
the great development of banking fl
cilities in Assyria and Babylonia mus
have provided annuities. The frs,

was 40 B. G. in Rome, and is of st%l
character as to justify q belief that
they had been long in use.
In the Middle ages, kingdoms, mu.
inequalities and bankers obtained
money by selling annuities for life or
terms of years. 1t Is said that Erg
iand's national existence during tAe
wars of William of Orange was large

too favorable to the annulties.
Several British companies took ad.
vantage of the very low price at which
their government granted annui, les
and purchased many on the lives Of
sturdy farmers, but payable to their
corporate selves, and thus made large
profits. In 1919 an English actuary

Communist Work Among Women
By MARGARET uNDJus

formed when the situation demands.
(Such as the control councils in Ger
many during the economic crisis). We
must establish united fronts by call
ing local conferences with delegates
from existing women's organizations,
shop committees, trade unions, coop
eratiYes, local councils, Workers Par
ty, etc. We must have these confer
ences take up questions that win APP
peal to the working women generally,
such as unemployment, high food pric-
es, high rent, child labor, etc. All
these questions must be taken up at
the time the Workers Party launches
united front campaigns on these is
sues. 1t is the duty of the w. P.
members in these conferences to see
that work on these issues is based on
the w. P. program for that specific
issue. We must always have COM
rade deliver a Communist talk at
these conferences. We must acquaint
the women attending these conference
es with what the Soviet goyernmnt OF
Russia has done to improve the con-
ditions of the working women in Rus
STA and compare same with their own
conditions both in the factory and
home. We must see that these con-
ferences accept resolutions of greet
ing to the women in Soviet Russia.
We must always keep before these
women the fact that all the improved
-. ~
about thru the work of the Commun-
st Party Of Russia. The work of re-
lief for the workers and their children
n other countries and for relief of
political prisoners should be taken up
at these conferences. Where appro-
pirate, we must have women repre-
sentatives at these conferences from
the farms. These conferences are call
ed when ever necessary. They must
he representative conferences. By no
means must we allow these conference
es to develop into separate individ-
ual membership organization. These
local conferences win be under the
leadership of the Workers Party.
OAnAutlunCOUotJ Will WOlh, VIC
must Immediately start building the
party machinery for work among wo-
men. Every unit of the party must
establish its own women's depart
ment. The C. e. c. of the party is
preparing a special program for this
work. We must be ready to give life
and flesh to this program. 1t is very
important that the women comrades
be fully aware Of the fact that it is
they who viii have to play the role OF
Intermediates and interpreters be-
tween the Workers (Communist) Par
ty and the masses of working women.
To give these women's committees a
non-feminist character, men comrades
must be appointed on these commit
tees. To carry on this work more eff
fectively, our women comrades must
be drawn mere into the general par
~ work In the course of our work
new methods of work must be elabo-
rated. Account must be taken of our
Experiences. Our progress will be
lower than we wish, but it will be
sure. We will gain influence and mem
bers for the Workers (Communist)
Party.

LOUe at First Hand
Great Thing in Life

First love comes before the age Of
knowledge. 1t is the only love entire
ly unemcumbered with ideas and pre-
conceptions. How little it has to do
with words, with talk 1t knows no
terms. It is the thing itself from
which terms and institutions have
grown up. First lovers get love at
first hand, instead Of getting first the
idea of romance into which to try to
fit themselves and other people, Louise
Townsend Nicoll writes. in the Cen
fury. They seldom talk. They get
acquainted in other ways-by being
near each other, by looking at each
other, by softly, shyly touching hands.
They do things together-play games.
run races. AS watchful as small ami
mails, they learn infinitely each about
the other. But they do not talk.
They give each other things, always
in fair exchange, and wear them out
with carrying about, When they must
know facts to supplement their find
ings, they ask-short, blunt questions.
Opinion and discussion have little
play.
