This fact has just been demon strated by the United States govern ment fish hatchery officials In. the courso of their ten-yeur program ot experimental work in slocking the glnclcr-fed lakes of Glacier national park with tho principal speclos of trout. Up to dale 8.0U0.000- brook, black spotted, rainbow, cut throat, dolly varden and grayling varieties havo been planted In a- hundred streams and lakes of the Montnna wonderlnnd. Grayling Was Puny Nature seemed to have put a well balanced diet for all except thO'gray ling, to tho disappointment' of Un cle Barn's fish oxperts. These did not propagato properly. They got sluggUh and kept dying off until the fish dletlsts discovered theer must bo something Inching In the nat ural food of tho grayling. Careful study of tho situation revealed there was a single Item missing from their bill of fare. So the hatchery cat orors added to the finny tribe's menu a latin ontroe, "Gammavui Pnlex," which moans jut fresh water .shrimp. Thcso wcro served In such lnrgo orders that thoy multiplied thousand! ot times taster than tho greedy trout could devour them. . lint 'l.oofc At 'Km Now Two seasons of eating this morsol nddod so mnny calories to tho gray lings' dirt that they now nro giv ing light-rod anglers tlio battles ot their lives.

Summer's wife and another woman were with the two men when, the arrest was made. '. . While enroute tor a few hours of deer hunting. Sheriff L. L. Low and Game Warden M. J. Barnes, came upon a car parked by the side of the road tour miles west of here on the Round Lake road. Immediately be coming suspicious because of the reputation of this particular dis trict Low and Barnes stopped their car and running Into the brush a fow feet off the roadside saw two men and two women scattering In all directions. On the ground were about 15 gallons ot moonshine .in the process of being transferred from two small' barrels to a number of bottles ranging In' capacity from a pint to a gallon. McUger Is Caught Summers managed to . get away from the sheriff and the game war. deivWit other three were brought to the city and Metxger waa lodged in the jail. The two women were not held. Barnes and Low returned soon after and renewed their search for Summers, who was last seen In the deep brush. After a thorough search through the dense thickets. Low-and Barnes climbed up on a hill overlooking the thicket Summers was supposed to be hiding in, threw stones, and fired shot into the ground to scare the man from his hiding place. . 1 Summers was driven out. but managed to escape by way ot the road before the sheriff realized he had gone. Ah attempt to catch him proved fruitless. This morning Summer's attorney Wm. Marx, appeared tor htm and furnished the. 8300 bail, necessary to keep htm out ot jail. Metzger Is still In jail but hopes to raise the amount tor his release by this af ternoon. . Both men pleaded not guilty ami asked for a jury trial. The case will come up for trial, next Wednosday before the justice ot the peace. . Ilooze In Poison Bottle None ot the bottles Into which the liquor was being poured were clean nt a tod tho sheriff, and five at least had once contained medicines and poisonous mixtures which had not been washed out. One bottle was brought In which showed two table apoonstul ot lysol In the bottom. This la deadly poison If taken Internally. Two syphons used to transfer the liquor from the barrel to the bottle were confiscated. According to Low this district on the Round Lake road where the ar rests woro made has for some time been generally known as tho loca tion tor local bootleggers aought for privacy when they wished to bottle their goods. There are a great many empty bottles strewn around In the brush thore, testifying to bottling activities In the past. The place where the arrest was made Is known as W'hlskey ridge. This Is not the first time that Summers and Metzgor have been brought before the authorities for moonshlnlng. Last spring they were arrested and found guilty of a charge ot bootlegging and let off with a small tine, on the understanding that they were to give up moon shining and run a ranch near Bly. Just preceding their arrest on this chnrgo, W. G. Clow, who was chief of police at that time, had fired a number of shots Into the automo bile containing the two men, This AIDES OUT TO HELP FARMERS Cabinet Meets To Consider Agriculture's Plight; Plans Suggested' ' WASHINGTON, Sept. .Sl.--'I'ha national agricultural situation whs before the cabinet again today with" the president and his advisers seek ing to remedy a condition described' ' to the executive as one of " great gravity in the far western states.
