The bass season opened Monday
and quite a number of anglers were
ready for it with tackle of the proper
kind Varying success is reported.
At Long Lake, the best bass fishing
ground in this vicinity, the gamey
bass were biting freely and much
good sport was furnished. At Fairy
Lake, where pike fishing is always
good. a few bass took the bait. AT
Birch Lake, there was little or moth
ing doing Dy the bass on Monday.
A good many of the fish were visible
but they paid practically no atten-
ton the juicy frogs offered them.
The reason for this is that, owing to
the many springs that feed this lake,
the water is colder than in other
lakes and the spawning season is
not over. Ten days or two weeks
later bass fishing will be good at
Birch Lake. ;. In. Sank Lake plenty
OF, pickerel and croppies are being
caught, while occasionlly catch OF
pike is reported.

William A McKeever, professor of
State Agricultural college, has issued
another interesting and helpful Home
Training Bulletin. This one is entitled
Teaching the Girl to Save And as
Is usual with everything that comes
from Professor McKeever's pen it is
worthy of the attention of everyone.

Keever emphasizes the simple but Lone
the less forceful economic truth that
to spend judiciousIy is to save" and
he is right in his insistence that it 5
especially essential that girls be taught
to spend Judiciously ard save Mr Nc
Keever makes summary of the
methods of fifty of the best reports he
has been able to obtain concerning the
teaching of girls to save. as follows:
Train the girl carefully in the per-
formance of all kinds of home work,
having in mind of course, her mental
and spiritual needs. Thus teach her
to respect both work and worker, and
to know that the worlds wealth is pro-
duced chiefly by means of labor
See that the growing girl has all
possible experience in the Jrdicious ex-
penditure of the money necessary for
her own personal belongings and for
household use. Let her do the family
shopping a part of the time, starting
her out on each trip with all due eau
ton and instruction Give her a trial
at furnishing the family table for =
month and let her see If she can give
improved service at less than the usual
expense. Several have reported good
results from this practice.
Figure out a reasonable monthly o.
yearly allowance for the girls own per-
sonal use and, after increasing this to
a certain SUM, encourage her to try to
save the amount added as a reserve
fund for her higher education in the
future or to go toward the expense OF
her marriage. 1t is perhaps not neces-
sary that the money thus saved be kept
in a bank, but it IS by all means neees-
sary that it be regarded as her own In
legal right and that a strict book ac-
count of it be keep
Teach the girl to save not merely
for future use but for future good. 1t
is agreed among men. believe, that
one Of the finest Of all WomanIy quai-
ties is unselffshness, that the sweetest
and best in her nature is shown forth
in her sacrifice and devotion in behalf
of others. especially her own dependent
children There Is also much other al
truistic work In the church and in the
social institutions that is best per-
formed on{y by women Train the
growing girl. therefore, to give a rea-
sonable part of her savings to some
worthy social need
II appeal especially to country faith
ers and mothers IL behalf of the train
ing Of their growing daughters It is
