Benefit to Sportsmen Work is progressing rapidly on the new fish screen for Pushaw lake under the auspices of the Penobscot County Fish and Game Association Frank Gould is personally supervising the construction of the fishway which will be an asset to the lake when completed The object of the screen Is to preserve the fish already in Pushaw lake and those which will be stocked there Xt is planned at this time to stock the lake with steel head salmon when the screen is corn-completed The screen is situated at the so-called Mansel Rips in Pushaw stream about three miles below the lake It wUl be approximately 90 feet long being supported on each side of the stream and in the center by concrete abutments It will be about five feet above the water and three below but in no way is a dam formed the water flowing through the screen as always It is believed by the association that great civic benefits will be derived from this screen enabling the enriching and restacking of Pushaw Lake with no fear of losing the fish by having them swim to other waters Any financial donations are particularly welcome in helping to further the work and any subscriptions of money can be forwarded directly to Charles Gregory president of the Penobscot County Fish and Game Association arid will be used for the project ROOSEVELT TO START VACATION TRIP FRIDAY WASHINGTON His release apparently at

STATES WASHINGTON In a reply today to Postmaster General assertion he believed southern states would vote wet Scott McBride superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League said he was convinced the only "danger to repeal In the south was by outside political pressure through party organization" "If Mr Farley believes that sentiment in the south is wet" McBride said in a statement "will he permit this'sentiment to be expressed without coercion by the political machinery which he controls?" have just returned from Alabama Where I conferred with dry leaders from eight southern states It Is my conviction that the only danger qf repeal in any of the southern states is the outside threat of political pressure through party organization "The wets advocated submission of the amendment to the

of the outstanding left handed pitchers moved over from the Brooklyn Dodgers to the New York Giants in exchange for slugging Sam Leslie yesterday as the big league clubs sought last minute reinforcements before the close of the trading season at midnight last night After refusing to trade Johnny Frederick for Leslie last winter Max Carey manager of the Robins finally was forced to give up his best pitcher and a famed clouter to get the sensational young first baseman who has been hitting 321 as an understudy to his manager Bll Terry The need for a hitting first baseman became acute with the failure of the veterans Joe Judge and Gel Bissonette to fill the hole While value to the Giants Is questionable because of his slump this season after leading the league with a mark -of 368 last year the expert agreed today tliat Terry had greatlv increased the club's chances of holding the National league lead with the acquisition of Clark The lean southpaw won games for Brooklyn last season and though he has taken only two decisions in the present campaign 'while losing four he bolsters weakest line a pitching staff that has been struggling along with but three really starting pitchers Incidentally the last game Clark lost was a 2 to 0 struggle with the Giants The University of Iowa this spring graduates 29 winners of the major in athletics Eight are football players 4 -V

mental powers they possess perhaps eighty percent of the utmost the percent- This has been one of the poorest salmon years In the history of the Penobscot River While it is a fact that wti have these extremely poor years occasionally careful observers see total extinction of this fish unless intelligent means are undertaken to propagate thi) valuable fish It would be a terrible Indictment of criminal carelessness if this kingly fish should be allowed to die out an example of our stupid prodigality in dealing with the many fine things that nature has bestowed on us and of our live today let tomorrow take care of itself philosophy We could well take a lesson from our neighbors across the border in Canada who instead of letting their salmon In the St John Hirer fall into the evil days that ours have fallen Into have treated the matter with intelligent understanding bo that today the 8t Hands supreme as a commercial salmon river on the Atlantic Coast' The Penobscot River salmon has been the helpless victim of ne-gct misunderstanding and Indifference Our United States government while spending millions on the Pacific salmon has treated his Atlantic brother with an indifference that is impossible to understand Our State has shown deplorable neglect in making a careful study of the requirements of this magnificent fish and the fishermen themselves have failed to reach a common understanding In protecting and propagating the salmon There are two types of fishermen fishing our salmon the weir fishermen and the fly-fishermen at the Bangor PooL In the Penobscot River today there are one hundred and fifty weirs between Bucksport and Bangor The men owning these weirs depend on their catch for a good part of their liviihood while the fly-fishing is or should be a valuable inducement in attracting the tourist to our state As usual wherever there are two factions misunderstanding exists The weir fishermen look with distrust on the fly-fishermen and the fly-fishermen have failed to convince the weir fishermen of the unselfishness of their motives It Is imperative that these two factions reach a common understanding before anything constructive can be done to help fishing in the Penobscot With the dlssention now existing nothing can be done for the common good' The Federal Oovemment has got to be interested in helping us in preserving our salmon our fishways have got to be reconstructed at once an intelligent study of the salmon must be made Immediate-lx our false economy calamity howlers who have held our State in subjection for these many years must be silenced by a righteous pub-lie Indignation for the future of the glorious State of Maine lies in its advantages as a vacation 'state and we must capitalize on theae advantages or admit to the world our intolerable provincialism and lack of intelligent understanding 4 4 -ii KIWANIANS PLAN GOLF TOURNEY Novel Event Will Be Held at Penobscot Valley Club Plans for a golf tournament and

ATTENTION FISHERMEN Here is achance to do a good turn for the trout The fact that the majority of our brooks are unusually low constitutes a dangerous threat to brook-fishing Attention to this matter by all real sportsmen Is Imperative Perhaps we can get up a little party to go down that way Sunday If you are Interested get in touch with Mr Fuller or the writer June 15 1933 Dear Mr Doucette: Tuesday afternoon was returning from an errand in Unity Near DixmontCorner I picked up a men who said he had been down to the brook looking at the trout He told me the fish ranging In size from three or four Inches to eight or ninq inches were congregated in small pools and likely to die from lack of water There are three brooks that know of there that must be very low and a fourth that may or may not be but do you not think it possible for us to get a dozen or two of good sportsmen to make up a party and go there and figure out a way to liberate the fish? It seems to me that we might Improve conditions by building some little rock dams across the brooks to form deeper pools start-- ing well downstream where the shallow water begins If not this then perhaps it would be practical to deepen the center channel so the fish can go down Whatever Is done should be attempted right away if It is to be in time to save the fish Your as Orville Fuller SPORTING GOODS 00 Waterville thrifty Values for GOOD FISHING AT TUNK LAKE Tunk Lake is Justifying its reputation as a late lake by yielding many good catches at the present time Among those reporting fish were the following Sunday Maurice Campbell 4 toque Tuesday Weighman Pennsylvania 1 togue Mrs Weighman 1 togue Carroll Blaisdell Franklin 2 togue Elmer Bragdon Oliver Bragdon Maurice Campbell 4 togue Wednesday: Weighman togue Mr Brown and companion 2 salmon The above report is from Landing on the lower end of Tunk Lake McGregor golf clubs Steel shaft matched clubs QQ men women right left JL 5757 DUNLOP GOLF BALLS 4 for $100 or $245 doz FREE with every purchase in lots of six or over we will stamp the name on all balls 50 OFF high priced bags 24-HOUR SERVICE Mail Order Service Guaranteed Work lywm'Sudfj DO DOGiS REASON? know I'm speaking heresy when say that dogs do not reason The argument hangs upon the definition of reasoning The dog learns and does most things by imitation (and humans do many of their acts likewise) To reason to go mentally from the known to the unknown is what defeats the dog's mind A dog tied with a ten foot rope a long' rake by his side would starve to death though meat were twelve feet sway He would not reason to 'seize the rake in his mouth and pull the meat toward him Once his master showed the act to him he might COMFORTER The Old Reliable Fiy Dope 20c HOC COMPANY STILL GETTING THEM AT MOOSEHEAD Evidence of the way they are biting at Moosehead is contained in the following list received today-from Beaver Creek: West Archie Norcross Augusta 4 salmon 12 lbs George Buck Baqgor 1 togue John Hendickson Waterville 1 'togue 1 salmon rrank Willen Waterville 1 togue salmon Mark Smith Bangor 1 togue 3 salmon Howard Vanderwarker Bangor 1 togue rrank Whittier Lisbon Palls 3 salmon Mr Simpson Waterville 3 1-4 lb salmon Albert Veazie Bangor 1 togue 4 salmon Orrin Veaxie Bangor 2 salmon Orover Love Joy and party Waterville 2 togue 1 trout 8 salmon Stevson Rockland 2 salmon 1 trout George Cults and party Portland 3 lb salmon 3 3-4 lb togue 2Vi lb trout Roland Hurd Dexter 1 salmon A 1 salmon June 18r Day This is Fathers Own Personal Christmas Qay!
