Boys Club Notes

The weekly jamboree of the In- termediate B league was held last night with the Cobras, 40 Thieves, and Hawks carrying off the honors. Interest and excitement ran high and the members of the teams can't wait until next Thursday when they are certain of winning over any and all corners.
 A large number of weight enthu- siasts reported at the Thursday evening meeting of the group in- terest in this form of exercise but were obliged to limit their workout to more mild forms of endeavor as the weights have not as yet arrived at the club.
 Speculation is running high as to whether the Junior varsity team can defeat the Midget varsity. They are going to settle this question Saturday night as a preliminary to the preliminary of the Boys Club versus Stamford game. The Midgets have a smoother team in Iannccon- ne, Shavone, Andolene, Maffia, Re- card, but the Juniors are several years their senior SO should be cap- able of defeating them.
 The varsity team will soon be decked out in their new uniforms of red and black and this, together with their victory streak, should make them a real team to watch in action. Manager Bruno has lined up real schedule of games and Coach Joe Mobile and Captain LaPointe have told him that no team is too tough for them to tackle now. ....

SIGN
Law ILLEGAL

The states new law barring liquor

in the Hennepin county district court
Of Judge Levi NJ Hall, Saturday. II
was also pointed out, anyway, that the
law signed by the governor was not the
one passed by the legislature.
Test of the law, which would have
eliminated liquor and beer signs costing
less than s.. 900 on July y. was brought
by Minneapolis tavern owner.
"A large sign may be Just as OBJ
noxious," Judge Hall said, ~as a smaller
sign. can think Of no good reason
for treating a sign costing 81 OOI any
differently than one costing 1893
1T followed that the creation Of an
exempt classification Is wholly arbitrary
and improper and the act IS invalid
under article 4, and sections 80 and 81
Of the Minnesota Constitution, because
it is special law applying 70 a situation
where a general law could be made
applicable"
The ruling pointed out that, were the
act constitutional, il would be enforced
against all signs OF none.

All are rlstically constructed. Con-
siderable selection is employed in pick
ing them. They must be open so that
the breeze viii whip away insects, pro-
vide shade for the campers, smooth
enough for erecting tents, easily ac-
ceSsible and at a point low in fire
danger.
During the past few years, the forest
service has done considerable work in
constructing roadside camps. The pro-
gram includes the construction Of 100
major camps. They are being located
at spots frequented by many tourists
and near fishing and scenic areas.
On the Ely-Finland road there is
one located on the Isabella river,
stream offering the best trout fishing
in the entire forest during spring
months
A picnic and camping grounds has
just been completed at Halfway on
the Kawishiwi river. It has accomoda-
tons for auto trailers.
On the Echo Trail there are the
FenSke lake, Portage river, Meander
lake and Sioux river camping spots.
At the Sioux there are accommodations
for trailerS. From all Of them trips
into the roadleSs area can be made.
Six sites have been constructed on
the GunfInt Trail or adjacent thereto.
They are at East Bearskin, 80 miles up
the trail; Flour lake, 81 miles up, and
Iron lake, 40 miles up. Adjacent to the
trail are the Devils Track lake grounds,
Upper Cascade river site, and Pike
lake picnic spot.
/ On the Sawbiu road, which joins
No. 81 al Tote, there are three camps,
at Ox-Bow, Sawbiu and Upper Poplar
river.
In the Mesaba district there is one
camp, on Lake Leander, 10 miles north
west Of Virginia.
The forest service has gone TO con-
siderable effort and expense in con-
structing these grounds, but their work
has been Well repaid by the wide use
they receive from visitors 10 the forest
area. With cool, deep Lake Superior
and the thousands Of lakes in the Ar
rowhead creating a climate found but
few places in the world, the Superior
National Forest and adjoining territory
each year is becoming a mecca for more
and more mentally and physically tired
humans seeking a few weeks repoSe
amid pine-clad hills and rock-bounG
lakes.
Thousands Of people are visiting the
forest annually. That Is why the forest
service IS enlarging and improving
camping facilities for them.

Daily and Possession
Fish Limits Clarified.

The daily limit Of mixed creels of
protected fish is Is. and the possession
limit is 20, according to an opinion
submitted to the division Of game and
fish by Mandt Torrison, assistant at
-torney general
Some misunderstanding has occurred,
particularly in the waIl-eyed pike, great
northern pike, muskellunge group. The
law prescribes, according to the opinion,
that the aggregate daily limit Of pro-
tected varieties Of fish Of al kinds
shall be not more than IS, and the
possession limit shall be not more than
20, except where limits are specifically
extended by law"
Thus in the pike muskie class, where
the daily limits Of wal-eyes is eight,
great northerns, eight, and muskies,
two, not more than Is in the aggre-
gate may be taken in one day. If a
fisherman has his limit Of two musHes,
and eight wall-eyes, he may take only
five great northerns.
Similarly, if he has taken his limit of
six bass, these must be counted in the
aggregate limit Of Is.
The possession limit of 20 protected
fish is computed IN the same manner.
One must stay within the limits Of any
kind of fish, and no mixed creel which
includes any combination Of protected
fish may exceed 90
If one IS fishing crappies, where the
possession limit is Is, he must confine
himself entirely TO crappieS. If any
other fish are included in the creel,
the mixed creel statute applies, and 20
becomes the possession limit.
Similarly, in the sunfish-rock bass
group with possession limit of 80, or
in the case Of any fish with a possession
limit of more than 90 the fisherman
must confine himself entirely to that
kind

Discovered Laws of Heredity

Back in 1860 an Austrian monk,
named Mendel, discovered natures
laws of heredity. His discovery
was made while working with COM
mon garden peas, and the princi-
pies of heredity he discovered were
found to be applicable throughout
the plant and animal kingdoms. The
papers he wrote on the subject,
known as ''the Mendelian Theory Of
Heredity," were misplaced and
came to light only in 1900.
