|EAG[E LAKE GAR
SOME FISHERMAN
FASTENED TO END OF LINE 1T
SETS SPRING RECORD FOR
LOCHOWITZ.

Eagle Lake, Miss, May 4. - Joe
Lochowitz brought in the finest mess
of bass of the spring season yesterday
and with it strange tale. He had SO
big mouthed black bass that he caught
at two hauls with a line.
Joe went out early yesterday morn
ing into Eagle lake to catch a mess
of fish. He was using small min
nows for bait and had no luck.
After fishing about an hour he
caught tiny gar several inches long.
He proceeded to string the gar, de-
claring he was going to have some
thing to show anyhow.
He dropped the long line over the
side of his boat and went On fishing.
He fished for nearly an hour and then
caught a five-inch perch.
He started to pull up his line to
string the perch and felt fierce tug
and after a hard struggle he pulled
in 10 big-mouthed bass, running from
pound to two and a half pounds.
He saw in a minute what had hap
pened. The bass had tried to swallow
the gar and it had slid through their
gills and strung them.
Joe put the bass on another line
and dropped the gar overheard again.
In Al minutes he pulled up II more
bass.

Fred j. Wagner is a busy man if he
sends away three fields in amonth.
To the average crossing policeman
in any big American city, a job like
this would seem like nothing to do.
For there isn't day goes by during
which, acting in his official capacity,
the cop doesn't start at least hun
dred dashes, with fields ranging from
four to twenty or more cars com

Just as the star professionals in
Wagner's fields jockey for position
and employ all their skill to get the
best of the getaway, so maneuver
the pilots of the roadsters and tour
ing cars that line up for the blue.
coated officer Of the law. Most of
them are as anxious to get the jump
on the other fellow as if there was
$50, 900 waiting for them at the next
crossing.
With such opportunities, it is no
wonder that the crossing policeman
becomes good judge of automobiles
and on intimate terms with their
characteristics. His ideal is the car

ahead of the rest in the dash that
starts with the foot of his whistle.
Now AID then he becomes himself a
motorist as did Traffic Officer Guy
McAfee of the Los Angeles squad,
who appeared one day at Maxwell
agency and demanded to know what
sort of gasoline they were using to
make the new 1916 models so brisk
in the crossing dashes.
An obliging salesman showed the
officer that the car could 60 it all on
the staple product,
I've been watching 'em for some

I'm going to own one. If anybody
beats me past my mate when I'm off

cars, for there's something about
these babies that acts like pep"
Up to date McAfee hasn't lost a
heat. 1t is his chief delight to show
his fellow Los Angeles motorists how
good driver and a good car work
together in the traffic.

DRENcHlNG DROVE OF HOGS
Best Way Is 20 Drive Animals Into
Pen Where They win Have But
Little Room to Move In.

The quickest and easiest way 20
drench a drove of hogs is to drive
them into a small pen where they will
have but little room to move about.
To hold the animal while drenching
it a moose of sash cord or quarter
inch rope can be placed around the
upper jaw, well back toward the
angles of the lips, and the medicine
thrown into the back part of the
mouth with a dose syringe. AS there
is danger of a hog breaking a syringe
II is best TO use a metal one. Some
times when the drench is bulky and
the hog hard TO hold, IL is necessary
to elevate the head and raise the fore
feet of the ground. For this purpose
a pulley and rope wire stretcher is
recommended II should be hung in
the most convenient part of the pen
and the animal secured in the usual
way by placing moose around the
Jaw. The end Of the rope is thrown
over the hook in the lower pulley and
the hog drawn up until II is almost
of the floor. II is best to wait TIL
the hog has become quiet, well under
control, before giving il the drench
/ as there is some danger Of the medi
cine getting into the air passages ano
doing harm.
