Auxiliary Ladies to Aid Decoration Day American Legion Auxiliary to Take Up Task of Flaging All Graves of Soldier, Sailor Dead. The American Legion Auxiliary met on Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Henry G.

Devoe were the associate hostesses. The Auxiliary voted to take up the work of Paging the graves of all of the soldier and sailor dead as well as the members of the W. It. C. and Auxiliary. For fifty years the ladies of the W. R. C. each year have flaged the graves of tbe G. A. R. and W. R. C. dead, but time has taken its toll of their membership so that but few are left for the task and accordingly the Legion ladies with the W. R. C. members able to be out, will carry on the work.

It was voted to have Saturday, May 23rd, as Poppy day in this city when the memorial poppies will be sold by the Auxiliary members and their families as well as the Roy Scouts.

L00H OVEH CAMP HEEE John McPherson. of Omaha, who is director of the various transient camps in the state, including those at Chadron, Carter Lake and this city, wa3 here Friday to spend the day at the camp and also conferring with local authorities. The camp authorities Iiave had more or less trouble with a group of the residents and it has been found necessary to have several fired out of the camp and others who have been causing trouble here in the city and got themselves in, the hands of the law, have also been taken care of. Mr. McPherson was of the opinion that a large number of the men here would probably be transferred west to Chadron where there are more forestry projects to be taken care of, making possible that the camp here might be discontinued in the near future unless some active projects are started in this section.

Yes, the fishing season is in full swing. Here, there and everywhere contemporary Izaak Waltons are hanging on the edges of river banks, dropping their lines into the water and say, are the fish stories piling up. You re telling me! America may be a meat-eating country and probably the last on the list in fish consumption per capita. but when it comes to sport, fishing is one of the most popular in America. Surely you wouldn't say 6,000,000 Americans could be wrong. That's the figure tho U. S. government puts on those taking out fishing licenses, annually. It is probable, also, that a similar number indulge in fishing in the lakes, rivers und oceans without a license. There you are.one-fourth the adult ropulution of the United States! Surely they couldn't be wrong. Holidays for Season's Opening To show you how fishing is re garded in this country, we cite two examples fiom different sections of the country of how fishing has a place in community life.
