CANE POLE SEASON OPENS ON
lakes IN MINNESOTA sunday

The cane pole season opens on lakes
of the Minnesota Arrowhead Country
next Sunday and for thousands whose
favorite avocation is angling for pam
fish, there will be new lease on out
door pleasures.
Of course, that contingent whose
stock of f1yrodS, NEEDLESS hooks and
never-fail casting plugs spells hours
of fun, will be on hand for the first
day of bass and crappie fishing in the
Northern lakes. But, for the kiddies,
the 1.-the bamboo pole with its short
line and sensitive bobber will be in
much evidence and the days of real
sport begun.
Bass lakes are found throughout the
Arrowhead Country, and the shadows
of sunken logs or rocks-virtually
beneath every lakeshore dock in the
region-are potentially goods spots in
which to flip a lure after sunfiSh and
crappies.
Lending variety to the veteran
angler who has followed the seasons
from land-locked salmon during the
late winter to stream trout and more
recently, wall-eyed pike fishing, the
sport of trying to hook parrish is
one that appeals to the entire family.
For large and small mouth and
yellow bass, the limits are six per day
or u in possession; for crappies, Is
per day and Is in possession, and
rock bass and sunfish, Is a day and
| 80 in possession.

Dewhurst fought valiantly against
three-to-one odds.
Dewhurst wrenched a bottle from
one of the men and the four swung
viciously until all were covered with
blood, a newspaper in Cristobal
reported.
He was finally dragged into an auto
and taken across, the boundary, where
one of the thugs attacked him with
pipe wrench, which he still had
strength enough to capture and use
effectively himself.
When the melee finally ended, Dew
hurst was minus his pockets, which
had been torn out to get the cash
they contained, had lost his watch
and had been thrust from the speed
ing car onto the curb.
Dewhurst left here Jan. for the
Canal Zone, where he is employed. He
worked for the forest service here.

assist in the recruitment of about
$40 persons for training classes to be
conducted for the U. S. Signal Corps.
Two schools are to be opened about
June u. One, requiring 100 trainees,

other, with an enrolment of 80, will
open in Mankato. AppointeeS will be
paid while being trained. Other classes
will be started as the need arises.
The corps seeks persons to fill two
types of positions. One is for mechanic
learners, signal corps equipment, at
1920 a year, for which no previous
experience is required. The other
category is trainee repairmen at
$1,44O a year, for which applicants

the mechanics of radio.
Persons with Ia draft classification
are eligible and will be placed in the
enlisted reserve of the signal corps.
Such appointees will retain civilian

completion of the course. Persons
with any other selective service status

Sufferers from athletes foot-and
their name seems to be legion-all
appear to have pirked up their ears
when they heard about new cure for
their foot troubles lately from a
popular and generally reliable maya
zine.
They fastened to buy the simple
mixture of camphor and phenol
recommended, in such numbers, that
druggists became alarmed and doctors
wondered what would happen If some
of them were careless and applied 1t
on wet skin or moist under bandages.
The fly in the new ointment is that
phenol is by no means harmless drug
and while phenol might be safe
enough applied with camphor to dry
skin, it might become caustic and
cause serious burns if applied other
wise. It might be absorbed also, If used
literally and then bandaged and it
might aggregate already existing irr1-
tations.
The upshot is that several exper-
iments are underway now to find out
Just what the remedy will do under
the kind of careless use it will get
without medical supervision. Until
those experiments are completed 1t
will undoubtedly be better to trust
TO medical advice for this troublesome
fungus affliction.
AS preventive it is good idea to
wear your own slippers on gym floors
and at swimming pools. Also to wash
your feet often and see that socks
are clean and dry. The trichophyten
fungus cause of the characteristic
blisters-flourishes best in dampness,
warmth and uncleanlinesS.

RESTRICTIONS ON TELEPHONES

Further restrictions on telephone
installations are necessary to save
materials vital to the war, accord
ing to a statement in paid advertis-
ing space by the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company.
Pointing out that the immediate
effect of the restrictions varies in
different localities depending on
what !, if any, facilities are available
the company says:
"The latest War Production Board
Order further restricts the use by
telephone companies of materials es-
sential to the war effort 1t restricts
the building of cable or wire lines
both business and residence, if more
than a minimum of construction is
involved except for service neces-
sary in the war effort or for public
health, welfare and safety 1t re-
quires much wider use of party-line
service
''The reason for these restrictions
is to save additional quantities of
critical materials used in providing
telephone service such as copper, "a
minimum, tin, steel, magnesium, zinc,
nickel. These materials are urgently
needed for the Nations planes,
tanks, guns, ships, munitions. They
are vital to victory.
ITO install one extension tele-
phone may require no more than 80
or 40 feet of copper wire, but to in
stall thousands of them takes enough
copper to wire fleet of bombers.
''The immediate effect of these
restrictions upon the public will vary
in different localities, depending up
on what, if any, facilities are avail
able. If you should be unable to Sc
cure the service you want, we know
you will understand why. The tenn
porary sacrifice of your personal
convenience will make worth
while contribution to victory 1T is a
real part of the price of protecting IL
herty."
