Notices are out for another bond cleo

A glance at the tax loyy for .ho

During tho last 90 years the rate OF

Fishing Philosophy
BY FRED sc HAEFER

Fishin' needs a feller's whole
Attention If done right;
He has to watch his line an pole
While waitin' for a bite.
The fish may have to come a mile,
Sometimes more than that,
An maybe take them quite a while
To find out where you're at.
Fishin' can't be halfway done
You have to stay right by;
Expectin' bites is half the fun,
An fish is awful sly.
If you would leave your hook an go
Somewhere's else a spell,
It's the surest thing you know
They'd start to bitin' swell.
Fishin' takes your entire time,
You have to do it steady,
Cause if you get a bite that's
prime
You want to be there ready.
l haven't had nibble yet,
But I'm expectin' some;
An if I get one-well, you bet
Sometimes goin' to hum!
