No one can have done much nsmnl
without realizing that there IL an In
solvable mystery-in fact, there are
several insolvable mysteries-connect
ed with "fisherman's luck"
For example, II two men sit In oppo
site ends of a boat and use precisely
the same tackle, bait, ETC.. and are
fishing with equal skill. one Of them
will catch a dozen fish, while the otheI
won't have a bite. They change
places and perhaps change rods. The
lucky man still catches, the unlucky
one doesn't.
Some men will have abnormal luck
some days. and at other times they
can get mary a bite" Why can some
men step forward. jab any old kind
Of bait on a hook, ding 1t carelessly
into the water and draw up mess OF
big fish, while others, fishing scientifi'
cally, can't even catch minnow? We
are told that there Is reason for
everything-a logical explanation that
can be found.
Who will step modestly forward and
explain that world old mystery known
as "Rsherman's luck?" Will any OF
our readers? Philadelphia Press.

Giving ministers greeting,
And singing hymns quite loud.
All, the words 80 sweet she'll render.
Her altos quite treat,

Should seek the anxious seat.
The grand notes of the chorus:
What will the harvest be?'
Float on each cloud that's DER Us,

Alasi her thoughts will wander
From old camp meeting hills;

Yes, it is beautiful theory Of econom-
les that great war in Europe will re-
dound to our advantage, because We
shall "sell to both Sides" but it is to be
noted that the first effect of the war is
sharp decline in the price of our export
products, because of the difficulty of
getting them to the customers.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1914-08-11

And don't forget that IL conditions
should at some stage be such that trade
In certain lines Of our products is vastly
stimulated, poor old Mr.. Ultimate Con-
sumner in this country will have to pay
the same increased price that our un-
fortunate fighting brethren on the other
side pay. Goods are never sold cheaper
