WEST OHRsrsn, Aug IA The subject
OF carp seems TO be of more interest," IN
ever before, or rather. since the mis-

For some reason the Brsndywine carp
refuses to be taken, no odds how alluring
the proffered bait may be. This is puz.

Some of these fish sre now . foot Ia

here that the most catches have been
made
I The extreme heat Of the past week has
had the effect to deter the fishermen

noticeable that the few who brAved the
hot wave had better luck than has been
reported for some time. Several very
