cient to convince any normal person
that his facial nerves are very sensitive.
However, scientists tell us fish have
very few nerves about the jaw that
cause any pain. Fish have been caught
with two or more hooks in their mouths
and seemed to have suffered no in
convenience as long as the hooks did
not interfere with the opening and
closing of the mouth. Pain or no pain
We'll just have to leave it up to the
scientists but We do know one thing
we've never heard them complain.
Put this bit of information in back
of your skull for future reference:
First aid is only the bridge between
the accident and the doctor.
Some of the worlds best engineers
got a lot of their greatest ideas for
building dams from the beaver. These
animals really can do swell job and
those who have had the opportunity to
watch them work admit it to be sight
well worth while. The beaver spends
much time on the making of the dam
and builds from the upstream side with
tree sections, sticks, mud and leaves.
He collects all this material and packs
it down until the waterflow is checked
and the water level begins to rise. When
Transporting timber on land, he graSpS
it with his inciSor teeth, turning head
to one side, and proceeds to drag it.
While Mr.. Beaver SwimS with his bur-
den of wood graSped between his teeth,
his tail comes in real use, for he steers
with it to keep from going in circles.
White tail deer have been konwn
to jump a fence of eight feet. The
last buck we shot at land misSed)
seemed to be at least 16 feet off the
ground when we jumped him.
Our warden friend A. B. Colburn,
who writes a snappy outdoor column
for the Delano Eagle weekly down at
Delano, Mimi, says: Don't take all the
pickerel, great northern pike and other
game fish out of good pan-fiSh lake
if you want the pan-fish to stay up or
increase in size. The larger game fish
tend to live on the understood pan fish
and cause the larger and sturdier PAN
fish to propagate"
The game and fish department
tells us $1,000 game birds have already
been distributed throughout Mime
yet to be released. There must be
some mistake; we haven't seen any
new faces up this way for a long
time.
If you're interested in a new way of
of soap and work up'into good lather
in the water. Allow the suds to settle
a minute or two then drag your net
through the lather area. Minnows are
attracted by The suds and. are easily
caught. Clip to those who have no
license to sell bait: Make sure the war
dens aren't around when you try this).

This man, DR.. H. c. NeWgord of Ely
must have what it takes. In the latest
issue of the Minnesota ConServationiSt,
Ed. Shave says in part: For over 20
years DOC" has toiled that life be
fuller for his friends and every one
who knows DOC" is a friend. He is
loyal to his city, his community, his
state, and the nation. He is a real
patriot. DOC" is quiet and reticent
but he does things which are of real
benefit" We think the Conservation
list would do we'll to devote more space
to deserving conservationists and their
accomplishments instead of filling 800
of this popular magazine with COM
mercial advertising of very little value
to $50 of the states subscribers.
Camp Perry or Bust" is the slogan
