WHY THE BASS
ARE BITING SLOWLY

Notwithstanding that fishing condi-
tions are presumably good yet IT is
fact that bass are biting slowly; only
a few fish large enough TO merit any
special notice have as yet been hook
ed, while in the matter OF pheuomen-
al catches there simply have been none
to report.
LEGAL fishermen are trying hard to
evolve a theory as to the cause. No
one seems to doubt that the fish exist;
the river is just about the right stage
for good fishing and other conditions
seem about right. The one drawb back
in the opiniou OF some is the very
clearness of the water, due TO the
drought the transparency resembles
that OF plate glass, enabling the fish
to see a great distance through the
water, so that it is easily disturbed
and frightened away by the least move
ment of the fishermau.F Under exist
ing conditions bass are doubly sly and
gamy and the man who goes fishing
must be prepared to bring all the arts
and wiles of the angler into play.
There is a state of general inactivity
in the river due to the absence of rain
which is not conducive to good fish
ing. A shower which would cause she
small streams to rise and discharge
their water into the river would stir
up things a little. The small fish. &c :,
that serve as food for the larger wouln
thus be set in motion. The bass would
get out after them and thus would
come in contact with the hook and
line, after which thev would abandon
their natural and Legitimate prey for
the choice and savory bait.
1t is generally believed that there
will yet he the very best OF fishing be-
fore the season closes There is an
abundance of time. It is quite likely
that there will be rain by and by,
which with other causes will conspire
to bring about the proper conditions
for fishing.

ASHLAND 3

One OF the prettiest games of base
ball seen here this season was that
played Friday between the locals
and the Ashland team. The crowd was
fairly large and the diamond in good
condition as a result of the slight rain
proceeding the game. 1t was close
throughout with lots of hitting, each
pitcher striking out but four men.
Much credit is due to Hess who out.

He made the most of six hard chances
and did good work at bat. Danville's
only error was made in the third by
Hess overthrow. MoCloud in the box
played his usual good game, scattering
his hits and holding his opponents al
critical moments of the game. Thoma:
at first put up the game of his life,
having to his credit two bagger, anC
home run, scored two runs and haC
fifteen put outs.
The Browns drew first blood in the
third. scoring two runs. Ashland didn't
score until the sixth when she chalk

eighth completed her scoring. Dan

TROLLEY MEN WILL
WEAR KHAKI SUITS

What is probably the first action Of
its kind to be taken anywhere in the
country was that taken last week by
the employees of the Columbia Light.
Power and Railways company when it
was decided to adopt brown khaki
cloth for summer uniforms.
Because of the prevailing drought
the dust along the roads has been un-
bearable. 1t settled upon the blue
uniforms of the nfotormen and con.
ductors and before half OF the first
trip was made they looked as il they
had been rolled in mud.
The matter was taken up with Gen.
eral Manager B. o. Ellis and lie sug
gested khaki This was just the
thing. iG being light, twice as service
able aud dust can't cling to it or be
absorbed because of the closeness Of
the weave. Measures were taken a
once and within few days all the
men on the local line will be clad il
| this kind of uniform.

SMALL BOYS
QUEER CAPER

A homesiok lad longing to revisit
the scene of past days did very freak.
ish thing Saturday evening, which
caused his parents anxiety and inoid-
entally threw the town into state of
intense excitement.
The lad in question was little "Nsph"
the eight year old son of the Rev.
George S. Womer, pastor of st. Paul's
Methodist Episcopal church. Mr..
Womer with his family removed here
from Hollidaysburg last spring. The
little lad has never liked it in Dan
VILE and has always expressed de-
sire to return to Hollidsysburg.
On Saturday evening at suppertime
"Nsph" was missing from the family
circle. An hour later he was still alb
sent BY this time the family had be
come very anxious aud, assisted by a
number OF friends, began to search for
the boy, 1t seemed all in vain, how
ever, and at night fall he was still alb
sent.
At this juncture it was decided to
ring the court house bell. At such an
hour this bell seems to have but oue
Specification. No sooner was she peal
OF the bell heard abroad than people
understood that child was lost.
J. W. Trease, clerk in the Pennsy
station at South Danville, who hap.
pened to be in town, recalled that q
little boy left on the 4 81 PennsyI
vsnia train under circumstances that
caused some comment.
He described the boy dress and ap.
psarance both OF which corresponded
exactly with those of the missing lad
Moreover the boy told the staticr
! agent that he wanted to go to Holli
daysbuIg Thus the missing lad a.
! located and nothing remained but t
intercept him somewhere along tht
route.
Mr. Womer hurried to South Dan
vile, where after short conversation
with Station Agent Clark the latter
enlisted the several agencies at hit
command in an effort to appreh hend tn,
boy-if possible, by interoepting hin
at Lewistown Junction, if not by TAX
ing him in charge at Altoona. Thr
! telegraph was used to such excellen
! advantage that in an incredibly shor
period Of time word came back tina
they had apprehended the little travel
| ler at Lewistown Junction. At TIN
suggestion of MT. Womer the boy wa
handed over to the Rev. Il. II. Yocum
who is stationed at Lewistown ant
who will take care. of him until hi
father arrives there.
Station Agent CLARK Sunday stat
ed that he sold the boy ticket will
the greatest reluctance, as he seemer
small to travel alone, The little fel
low however, had very clear idea o
where he was going. He told Mr.
CLARK that his home was in Holidays
burg and was aware of the fact tha
he would have to take the trolley oil
the last stage of his journey, between
Altoona aud his destination. That tn
agent was misled under the circum
stances is not surprising.

THE CAUSE OF
GAPES IN CHICKS

Prof II. A. Surface, the State 10
ologist, is daily in receipt Of letters
requesting information in regard 50
insect pests aud the diseases OF plant
life. These letters come to his office
in Harrisburg from every part Of the
State and are upon many topics. Is is
not surprising, therefore that he re-
ceived one in reference to that com
mon atfliction OF poultry, known as
gapes. The correspondent asked FOR the
best relief for chicks suffering with
gapes, aud wanted to know how TO
prevent the trouble.
Prot. Surface replied that Gapss
in little chicks are caused by the eat
ing OF earth worms. There are para
sites in the eaTth-worms which find
their way into the windpipe of the
chicken and lodge there, where they
take the form of little red worms The
best preventive is to keep the chick.
ems from the surface of the ground
or use salt or strong salt water OIL the
soil, so as to kill th9 earth.~orms or
strew stroug lime or something Of the
kird on the ground. so that the chicks
will not get hold of the worms 30 eat
them.
After the chicks have been attack
ed with gapes, however, you can dis.
lodge the worms by making a very
small loop in a twisted horse hair,
draw out the tongue OF the chick
slightly. insert the horse hair loop IN
the windpipe opening, which will
be seen between the forks at the base
of the tongue, aud, twisting the ha.c
around, Withdraw it. The worms are
likely to be found within the loop, or
some of them will have been thus re-
moved, and the operation can be re-
peated,
Another remedy is to dip the tip OF
a soft feather into kerosene aud il
sert it in the windpipe opening to
dislodge and kill the worms. Such
treatment, although severe is better
than letting the worms remain undis
turbed, to severely annoy the fow !s
and even kill them.
Mixing turpentine and other sub
stances in the food of the young poul-
try has not proven satisfactory as a
remedy for gapes.
