E. C. Hlnshaw, state "fish and fame warden, recommends in his annual report, that all persons wishing the privilege of fishing in the lakes ana rivers of Iowa be re quired to pay an annual license fee of Jl. The warden proposes to put the fishermen on the same basis as the hunters. The hunters now pay a -. fee of $1 annually. The'proposed measure would per mit women and boys under 14 to fish without securing a license. The measure, to license fisher men was first proposed four years ago. It then created a storm and the legislature took no action on tue bill. The state game warden believes that the sentiment has changed in the meantime and that there are manv persons who now favor the licensing of fishermen as well as hunters. By placing a license tax on fishr ing, the revenue of the state fish and game department which now is almost 1100,000 a year, would bedoubled, the warden believes. The department now is operated entirely on the revenue paid in by the hunters, he says. The law re quires the department to spend a big share of the hunters' fund in restocking the streams of the state with fish and in the enforcement of the laws protecting the fish. Mr. Hinshaw, In his reports says this Is not fair. He declares that the men who hunt and are willing to pay An annual fee for the privilege, should not be required to pay all or the ex pense of providing good fishing in the lakes and rivers of the state. That burden should fall on the fisherman, he believes. During the late summer and fall of 1916, the fepartment placed 1,500,000 fish in the lakes and rivers of the state. The fish car was operated as late in the fall as the. weather permitted. Nothing is as much exaggerated as the slse of men's bets. BUts of Ohlp, clty of Toledo, Lttca* County. Frank J.

Public senti ment is crying out against the sale of liquor, ana a bill has been introduced in congress to forbid liquor adver tisements from the mails. -. Everybody ia a^jptudy in. huaaaa feature. .. ^.~.- Asa 8. Cochran. A. S. Cochran, one of our best known men, was stricken with ap oplexy op Monday, Dec. 11, at 12:30 and passed away that same day at 6:30. His death followed that of his! aged mother by only a few hours. He was born in Geauga county, Ohio, on January 24, 184a, a son of Geo. C. and Almlfa Cochran, lie was reared to manhood in the county in which he was born. In September, 1862, he responded to Governor .Todd's call for "squirrel hunters," to repel the threatened invasion of Ohio by Rebel General Morgan, thus he saw a little service, although he was obliged to remain., out of war, as he was the only support of his mother. After leaving Ohio, he went to Allegan county, Michigan, where he taught for several winters. He was married June 27, 1866, to Miss Mabel E. Church, who was born in Portage county, Ohio, May 23, 1845. Of the eight children born to this union four are living: Frank E., Norfolk, Neb., Mrs. E. A. Smith, Mrs. Ralph Grenawalt and Wilber all of i^amoni. While living in Michigan, Mr. Cochran cleared a small farm, which he occupied until November, 1875, when he moved to Fayette township, Decatur county, Iowa. In 1879 he moved to Lamoni when the town was first started, and engaged in the lumber business with David and Albert P. Dancer, with whom he was associated for three years. He sold his interest to his partners in March, 1883, and became connected with the Herald Publishing House, as secretary and cashier of that es tablishment, where he continued for a number of years. In business and church life Undo Asa has always been active. Having served as treasurer of Decatur" coun ty for two terms, and in nis church work was president of the local branch, in addition to holding other important offices in the church. He was always willing and anxious to go and minister to the sick and afflicted and during the later years of his life his time was spent in visiting and ministering to the unfortunate. In his passing the town and branch have lost one of their faith ful workers and respected citizens. The funeral services will be held this (Thursday) afternoon at the Brick church at 2:30 o'clock.—La moni Chronicle. Almii'a Cochran Morse. Mrs. Almira Morse was born in Oneida county. iNew York on Octob er 30, 1821. She married George Cochran in 1844 or 1842. To them were born four children, one of whom died in childhood. The others were Asa S. Cochran, Mrs. Amy Tan ner and Mrs. Melissa Paul, the lat ter the mother of Wilbur Paul of La moni. Both daughters passed from this life before their mother died. Mr. George Cochran died in Ohio in 1863, and his widow and her son and daughters removed to Michigan, soon after the death of the husband and father. She remained a widow until 1872 when she was married to Mr. Justus Morse in Allegan county, Michigan. They moved to Decatur county, Iowa in 1873 and resided near Pleasanton for several years. Mrs. Morse has lived with her daugh ters -\nd her son since then, all these last years at her son's home. She died there on the morning of Dec. li, 1916, at the age of 95 years, 1 month and 11 days. She united with the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ in 1867, in Michigan, and remained a firm ad herent to that faith to the end of life. Funeral services will be held on this (Thursday) afternoon at the Brick church at 2:30 o'clock.—La moni Chronicle. Miss Flora Thomason. Miss Flora Thomason was born in High Point township, Decatur county, Iowa, November 23, 1866, and de parted this life at her home in Leon, Iowa, Monday evening, December 9, 1916. She was the daughter of Washington and Melissa Thomason. She leaves her mother, two sisters and a brother, namely, Mrs. Henry Duson of Bethany, Mo., Mrs. Laura Lafayette of Oskaloosa Iowa, and Woodie L. Thomason of the same place, to mourn her death. Miss Thomason was a member of the Methodist church, holding her membership at Bethany, Mo. She was a woman whose character and conduct commanded the respect and esteem of all who knew her. Her life work is ended, but such as she die not, her soul was merely changed from the bodily tenement to the hab itation not made with hands. The funeral services were held from the Methodist church in Leon, on Thursday afternoon. The body was laid to rest in Leon cemetery, where it awaits the resurrection morn. Rev. Raoul R. Moser had charge of the services. Sincerest sympathy is extended to the bereav ed ones and their friends. The Collar Button. The cojlor button is a small, agile object which adorns the neck of man whenever his wife has not put it somewhere else. We presume it could be proven to a mathematical nicety, if necessary, that nine-tenths of the marital dis cord which now makes the legal pro fession so inviting is due to the fiend ish ingenuity with which wives con ceal the collar buttons of their hus bands. All up and down this country last night and tonight and tomorrow night, world-without end, may be seen frantic husbands in their shirt sleeves, hunting feverishly through chiffonier drawers for a bone collar button which a loving but absent minaed wife has secreted in her usual thorough and conscientious, manner. While we should all love our wives and give them a quarter now and then, it must be said that in this re spect a wife is a sore trial in the home. The collar button is a little thing, but it performs a noble mission. If it were not for this unobtrusive device, for instance, the high band collar would not be worn and the protuber ant, sliding scale Adam's ar^te would be a prominent feature of the land scape. Jiris interesting to watch the play of a mobile, selective gear Adam's apple which gives a touch of pathos to the neck of a bass soloist, but as a usual thing we prefer to have it enclosed. The collar button does this at a trifling cost, which causes us to inquire why peopie do not give more collar buttons and fewer salad -forks for wedain~ pres ents. The collar button is carried in the shirt until a change becomes unavoid able, when it is sent to the laundry. Many a man has accused his wife with the utmost bitterness of appro priatine his collar button, when all the time it is-done at the laundry being ironed out of shape. A man: who will treat a loving wife in this manner is minus the first instincts of a gentleman an# should be obliged to get along without one.—noward Rann.
