System Is Wrong

"The sportsmen of America are
in the position of the optimistic
old lady who replied that she sure
ly would be better tomorrow be-
cause she just couldn't be any
worse" said Seth Gordon, Conser-
walton Director, Izaak Walton
League of America, in his address
before the American Game Confer
ence, held in New York City,
December 1.
But they have expected miracles
far too 1oSg, and the road to sane
thinking will be tough one. The
sportsmen have been spending up
wards of 5000 each annually to
harvest a crop toward which they
have contributed the measley sum
of a dollar or two a year. And yet
they wonder what ails the system.
Finally they are willing to listen
to reason. Two things are very
apparent. The first is that the
sportsmen must pay fair rate for
their shooting or else have none to-
morrow. And the second is that
unless the landowners are given a
square deal and taken into part
nership they will become rebel
ious, allow no hunting, and take
no interest in the game crop.
The need of an American Game
Policy is obvious. The preliminary
draft already has demonstrated it's
worth. The question is how quick
ly can it be adopted universally.
When the various methods suggest
ed are given an honest trial the
sportsmen will soon ascertain
which produces the best results.
The first of a most important SER
les of national game study pro-
jects was recently launched in Will
liamston township, Ingham county,
Michigan, under the auspices of the
Izaak Walton League of America.
For the first time in the history Of
game conservation the landowners,
the sportsmen, the conservation de-
partment, the state university, the
state agricultural college, the U. S.
Biological Survey, and the Nation
al Game Survey have joined forces
to ascertain what can be done to
actually produce a game crop and
to have it harvested in a manner
not at variance with American ira
ditions.
The studies agreed upon include
a complete mapping of the cover
and soil, a census Of the game sup

Minnesota Third In National
Minnesota Legionaires were not
the only ones to win honors in the
recent countrywide roll call to as
certain how many each state has
already re-enrolled for 1881. In
that contest Minnesota Legionaires
placed among the big Ten" states
leading the nation. Over II 900 Co
pher members were in good stand
ing.
Minnesota Legion Auxiliary men,
bers are doing even better. It was
found that three northwest states,
Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin,
led all the others in total members
enrolled by Nov. 81, 1880; and also
led all others on percentage of 1881
quota paid up in advance. Mime
sofa had nearly 1000 in good
standing.
National Commander Ralph T.
ONeil has just announced a new
national Legion trophy for the
state which first exceeds its 1881
quota, which for Minnesota is 27,-
600. This new trophy is called the
"Gouraud' trophy, because it was
presented by General Henri Gou-
raud, military governor Of Paris.

FROZEN ALFALFA POISON

A post morten examination made
at the Skuey Bros. farm in Little
Sauk last week cleared up the mys-
terry surrounding the death of IA
head of cattle, included among
which were eight fine milk cows. It
had been thought that the cattle
had died as result of eating too
much green corn, but when the
stomachs of the cows and young
stock were opened it was found
that death had resulted from poi
son which had come from alfalfa,
which the cattle had picked up af-
ter it had frozen and thawed. Many
of the animals were sick only few
minutes before they died.-Long

REPUBLICAN RALLY DRAWS
RECORD CROWD

If there is anything in the saying
that there is safety or strength in
numbers, tn e Republicans. by the
size of their recent Mass Meeting in
La Plata, have every reason to feel
happy and optimistic over the outlook
in the coming Election. The rally
took place in the Town Hall of the
County Seat, last Saturday and so
large was the crowd that the p lace was
packed and jammed, with fully a
hundred or more persons on the outside
who were unable to find space enough
to squeeze into the hall. Those familiar
with such meetings expressed the belief
that it was the largest political gather
ing on record in the County, and in
addition to Republicans, an unusually
large number of Democrates, both
men and women, were found in the
gathering
The meeting was called to order by
Thomas B. r. Mudd. the Republican
chairman in the County, who is also
at the head of his party ticket as can
didate for State Senator. He spoke
/ of the necessity of a change of admin
istration In both State and County,
and told of the outstanding qualifca-
lions of the standard bearers of his
party in the present campaign. Ii
referring to his own candidacy, he
called attention to the fact that hi.
opponent had already been honored
by the County with three terms al
Annapolis, and asked that he himsel
be now given chance to serve hi:
people and an opportunity to prove hi:
worth and for advancement in public
life. That he stood in high favor with
the audience, was evidenced b V tht
splendid ovation he was accorded.
Joseph A. Wilmer, was designated
chairman of'the meeting. and befor,
introducing the main speakers of tn,
day, made very eloquent and inter
esting address in which he outlined
many of the major issues of the cam
paign.

Actress 'Made Good"
by Presence of Mind

The former actress, Ida Claire, had Il
remarkable wit and cleverness.
Once she was playing in a small
town in one of those breath-taking
melodramas of former times. The
climax came at the end when she fell
dead, poisoned, while the curtain
slowly ascended.
One evening after she had dropped
dead and was waiting to be shut from
view the curtain got hung. 1t would
not come down.
People in the audience seeing the
curtain remain up decided the play
was not over, so they sat and waited.
Ida on the stage kept up her simu-
lation of the rigidity Of death, but it
was very trying on her nerves and
muscles and she was hoping every
second the curtain would start down.
Finally she despaired of the stage
hands fixing the thing, so with a
bound she rose to her feet and cried
angrily at the invisible enemy:
"The Villains They will not let me
rest even in death !"
And with a properly offended atti-
tude she flounced OFF the stage.-Path-
finder Magazine.

Little Journeys in
Americana
The Icarians
BY LESTER B. COLBY

Go0D people oftentimes send to
- me, in my forty-seven story
tower in Chicago where l write these
things of mine. strange books and
pamphlets and printed bits. They
are Americana. And so l find many
trails to follow if l would travel them
all. Very interesting trails, filed with
human interest and heartaches as
well as joys.
Have you ever seen the little book
entitled, voyage en- Icarie?" 1t was
written by Etienne CADET. History is
filed with strange people. Few
stranger than Etienne. In his day
France gave him many honors. He
was member of the chamber of dep
utfes. He was attorney general of
Corsica. His mind radiated brilliance.
France stood ready to bestow upon
him almost any honor. Then he got
his crazy notions and queer ideas.
But crazy as they were, his follow
ing grew and many were ready to
call him '"The Christ" Yes, that was
their faith in him and that, thou
sands did call him. He organized a
peculiar sect. History is filled with
such, formed in the name of religion.
CADET called those who Joined him
Icarians Icarius was a character in
Greek mythology who fastened wings
TO his shoulders with wax and flew
into the sky. Finally he flew so high
that the sun melted the wax, his
wings came off-and he fell. The
name seems a bit prophetic.
Brigham Young had abandoned
Nauvoo, Illinois, in the late 1S40's,
junking his city that once held 25,-
900 people and leading those bold
enough to follow him westward to
Utah. CADET moved into the deserted
Nauvoo in 1850. CADETS grip, like
that of Joseph Smith, first Mormon
chieftain, and later that of Brigham
Young, was given strength by per-
sonal magnetism and a certain fanat-
icism.
8 In his Voyage en- Icarie" Etienne
CADET lays down his ideal commun-
ity. Somewhere sometime, if you find
this book, read it. 1t tells Of a place
where all are happy, no rich. no poor !;
each striving to do good; no sin, no
money, no speculation, no gamblers,
no murderers, no thieves. 6
AT one time he had as many as 500
followers in Nauvoo. They took over
the abandoned homes the Mormons
left and built few mere. Those
they made were of grout, mixture
of sand and plaster. The waters of
the years have dissolved them quite.
They have vanished, leaving no trace.

Men, seeking the answer to Icarie,
quit working. When they did they
hungered and finally they starved.
Hate and dissension grew up among
them. Quarrels and fights followed.
One day they kicked Eti&A8e CADET.
+heir lsadfT, out.
DLess than seven y3ars after he led
his Icarians to Nauvoo, to build his
utopia, he died of exposure and star
walton, penniless, a miserable outcast
In a cheap st. Louis rOoming house.
He was found dead one day in an
unheated room, his body frozen stiff.
1 wonder what went on in Etienne
CADETS once brilliant mind, this man
who was once the idol Of France,
when they kicked him out of his Icarie
at the end of a common brawl,
fight over food l wonder what he
thought when the paradise Of his
dreams became hell, when those he
led to Nauvoo booted him and beat
him, hurting fierce French oaths at
him, denying him even bread because,
they said, he wouldn't do his share Of
the work.
