Wolf Hunter Is Treed hy Wolves; Falls in Lake BAYFIELD, Wis. Martin Kane of this place recently tried wolf hunting on a big scale. He had already caught six wolves and $30 In bounties didn't lock so bad.

That too was Christmas money. But Martin wasn't satisfied. He would get wolves by the dozen. He smeared his boots with fishoil and walked into the woods. The wolves got the smell of fish and came from all directions.

Martin hadn't calculated the distance from home and when darkness overtook him, he climbed into a tree: Here he sat for two nights. Hunger finally gave him courage and he decided to have It out with the wolves who sat waiting around the tree. Walking backwards, he kept the wolves at a respectable distance with a stick until suddenly he fell into waterhe had walked into Lake Superior. But that aroused Martin's anger. and' with his bare hands he went after the wolves, chased them into ignominious flight, and reached his home in safety.

Well, anyway, that's the story a it It told. C. A.

Mayor A.

C. Hanson, Wauwatosa, blames speculation for the present economic situation. "In my judgment," he said, "the two principal contributing reasons are the absolute crazy, wildcat, real estate speculations that have been going on for the past 10 years plus speculation In every kind of stock imaginable, in most cases on the part of suckers who couldn't possibly margin their stuff and often mortgaged their homes to carry their hold in the opinion of Mayor ftae Weaver of Beaver Dam, "starvation wages, high taxes and high rents are causing the depression of today."

A 13 year old boy kept this community in quite a stir last week with a hoax sprung on his The boy lives in the "brakes" along one of the rivers not far from Lancaster. Left alone for a day, he staged a ransacking of the house and had a wild story to tell of the visit of two bandits who searched the premises for loct and scattered food around the kitchen. The boy claimed that he saw the robbers outside and procuring a loaded rifle, proceeded to draw a "bead" on ore of the men and shot. He said he knew he hit his man as he heard him say "ouch!" The lad was even able to show blood and foottracks in the snow. He claimed to have routed the gang and his s'ary was convincing enough to arouse his parents and neighbors who called.

Sheriff Greer talked to the boy at the father's request and then took him before Judge Brennan. The judge listened In a fatherly way oid after hearing the story said: "New, my boy, I have stories told me all the time and every person who is Ivint. leaves tittle loopholes that show he is not telling, the truth. You must tell mo the truth or I will have to put you in an institution." "But, Judge, you won't put me in Jail, if I' toll the truth, will you?" was the tearful query. The Judge said he would not promise but would do the ery best for the lad he could.

Then the true story came out The boy, possessed of a vivid imagination and a trader of lurid literature, "framed" the whole story just to create The judge sent him home, lreiting that he not bfc punshed but watchtd'and guided that his imaginative gift would run In useful channels.

HOEN Wisconsin Tobacco Reporier nr.KRTON. Wis. The major part of the Wisconsin 1930 tobacco crop has now been stripped leaf by lear from tne stalk and has been placed in bales, wrapped in heavy, paper, tied, with three or four strings and the bales laid on the side two or three high, on a platform usually built of poles, and stored in that part of the tobacco shed where, in the opinion of the tobacco grower, wind blown snow and rain is not liable roach It.

The larger part of the 1930 crop of tobacco was transplanted prior to June 20 under the most favorable weather conditions and authorities agreed that it had an excellent start and a better one than any other, tobacco crop in recent years. The crop was thriving until late in July when hot and dry weather left its mark upon the growing crop in many districts, a condition that continued throughout the month of August which was relieved in. several sections bv showers of rain. The harvesting of the tobacco crop commenced as early as Aug. is ana was practically completed one month later.

Hail Damage Hall and wind storms visited various tobacco growing sections in the middle of the harvesting season and damaged' or destroyed the unharvest ed parts of the crops, though the total number of, acres of tobacco injured or destroyed by hail, was a very small part of the whole number of acres that, were planted. With the exception of hail and wind that caused injury to tobacco In a few section the tobacco crop went Into the shed under favorable weather conditions. finest weather also prevailed during the curing season, which is reflected by the splendid condition in which the Wisconsin 1930 tobacco crop Was fcund when being stripped from the stalk. The Wisconsin 1930 crop pf tobacco is oenerally well cured, has a fine bright golden color and Is practically free of damage from shed diseases. The greater part of the crop is suitable for stemming purposes and the smaller part of it is usable for cigar u.t wnrfpr nnd clonr leaf fillers.

The Wisconsin 1930 crop contains some very choice tobacco.

The modern technical forester is aac ing new terms to the colorful lore the original forest rangers, the cow boy and lumberjacks and some of the new terms rival the stupendous concept of Paul Bunyan, mythical hero of the lumberjacks. Fire fighting camps have their "smoke chasers." the man who put out a. fire before it is one before it attains "a local habitation and a home." "Sitting tight" Is the job of the ranger at highest fire hazard times.

"Patrol" hasn't anything to oo with the police, but everything to keeping a fire down and out. An aneroid baromevr has nothing to do with adenoids, but is used with an "altimeter" par of the field fire equipment. A Biltmore stick isn't a Broadway cane, but a part of the forester's equipment while "Cruising all Day in the Tall Yellow Pine." "The Chapparal Song" and the "Lone Star Trail" make up the main vocal repertoire. "Johnny Inlinger," scribe and secretary of the forestry schcol camps, has his "bull of the woods." manager of the organization; and the "bunkhousc bards" are still heard in the land. To these young student "men of the trcc "mistletoe" is quite the reverse of the romantic concept.

It is a deadly pest and parasite, clinging to young saplings or old sawlogs until at last it destroys its host and itself. The "raising of steel" means the pulling up of old logging roads; and "getting out of a rut" probably had its origin in the sand rut roads now being transformed into fire protection ways. "Ear phones" don't necessarily mean radio, but are used in fire detection; "selectivity" means cutting the right tree from the rizht olace at the. riaht doesn mean, sowing tree seeds to the ind; seedlings are set out "row upon nw."
