THE FARMER AND THE MILLER.
(By Holt County’s Poet Laureate.)
They stood in a cerial factory,
Stood there side by side.
The one the happy owner,
The other, by looks betide
That he was merely a farmer
In from the county-side.
They watched the wheels a spinning
Amid the muffled roar,
And yet heard not the noises,
Nor saw the growing store.
Their eyes were dulled by visions,
For both of them saw more.
The one saw wordly honor
Growing like a flame,
Thru fast growing bank accounts,
Which written to his name,
Was both gratifying to his greed
And adding to his fame.
The other saw a thing Devine
Take in it’s hand of steef,
A common grain—a food of kine,
And make a child a meal
By simple pressure and a grind,
Beneath its spinning wheels.
—F. O. HAZEN.

IZAAK WALTON LEAGUE
ORGANIZED MONDAY NIGHT
At a meeting of the O’Neill Chap
ter of the Izqak Walton League held
February 16th, a permanent organiza
tion was completed, and the following
officers were elected: D. H. Clauson,
resident; Dr. L. A. Carter, Vice
President; S. J. Weekes, Treasurer;
and Ira H. Moss, Secretary. Arrange
ments were made for a meeting at
the Golden Hotel the evening of Feb
ruary 24th, at the conclusion of a
membership drive lasting one week,
at which time the losing side will
banquet the winners in a two-team
contest for new members.
The name of Izaak Walton was
giVen this League in memory of the
famous English writer, who in 1653
wrote The Complete Angler which has
been proclaimed a classic and has de
lighted the hearts of lovers of nature
for nearly three hundred years. His
philosophy of the outdoors proved him
to be a true conservatonist.
The Izaak Walton League of Ameri
ca is a National Organization of fish
ermen and hunters and outdoor lovers
dedicated to the restoration of sports
afield and astream in the United
States and Canada and the restoration
as far as can be of the outdoor Ameri
ca of our ancesters. It is a National
Organization having no commercial
or personal gain or aggrandizement
under it; neither has it political or
religious interests.
It is undoubtedly the most compre
hensive conservation program ever
undertaken in America. Though less
than three years old, it has local
chapters from one end of the
country to the other, and it has
awakened thousands and thousands of
principled sportsmen and outdoor
lovers to the realization of the perils
that are threatening our precious
woods and streams and wild life.
Objects of the Organization.
1. The practice of true sportsman
ship in hunting and fishing, and stren
uous and unremitting opposition to
illegal, destructive and unfair meth
ods,
$r Sufficient fish hatcheries and
game farms for the increased propa
gation and wider distribution of fish
and game.
3. Prohibition of the aale and in
terstate shipment of game and of
fresh water game fishes excepting for
purposes of propagation.
4. Scientific regulation of the tak
ing of salt water game fishes and
prohibition of the sale of certain an
adromous species.
5. The strictest enforcement of the
migratory bird law.
6. The establishment of biological
experiment stations to train scien
tific workers so that all game and fish
propagation and distribution may be
safeguarded by expert supervision
and counsel.
7. The united support of those pub
lic officials, regardless of their party
affiliations, who show themselves to
be in sympathy with the principles of
true conservation.
8. The fullest measure of co-opera
tion between all organizations de
voted to the interests of the outdoors
men of America.
9. An unceasing, aggressive, edu
cational campaign to the end that the
objects of the Izaak Walton League
of America may be attained.
10. That outdoor recreation as a
major part of the life, education and
spiritual development of the American
youth be nurtured.
By unanimous vote, a resolution
was passed favoring the following
regulations and projects:
1. Favoring a state bounty on
crows, as opposed to the county op
tional bounty proposed in a bill now
before the Nebraska Legislature.
2. Changing the bag limit on wild
ducks to 10 a day and 30 in possession.
3. Changing the opening of the mi
gratory bird season from September
16th to October 1st.
4. Closing the season on black bass
from March 1 to June 15.
5. Prohibiting the sale of black
bass in the state.
6. Prohibiting the possession of
seines and nets other than the regu
lation minnow seins.
7. Favoring an appropriation to
increase the size and output of the
Valentine fish hatchery.
8. Favoring an appropriation for
game and fish culture equal to the
amount paid in by the sportsmen of
the state for fish and game permits.
9. Favoring the purchase of Goose
Lake, Holt County, Nebraska, at the
price last agreed upon by the owner.
10. Favoring the establishment of
a Federal Trout Hatchery at Long
Pine, Nebraska.

and maintenance of a bureau of for
estry.
