This warm weather is working in the
blood of some of US and the split bam-
boo poles and fish lines are being dug
from the bottoms of tool chests where
they have been stored all winter and
one can generally get up fair sort of
argument as to whether bread dough
mixed with cotton is or is not the best
bait for these waters. Several nice
strings of wiggIy, smelly things have
been proudly displayed, together with
their accompanying stories. The big
gest one-the story, we mean-comes
from Manager Banta, of the Princess.
And the funny part of the whole story
was that his wife caught the fish. You
know most of 'em go "-and l pulled
him out and he weighed 'steen pounds. -
But R. L. says that really-truly Mrs.
Banta got one that weighed eleven
pounds.
