These gentlemen are fishermen right,
true lovers of the sport and devout fol.
lowers in the footsteps of our old
friend Izaak Walton. They expect TO
pitch camp somewhere about Is miles
south of Americas, and if the fish bite
as they should, will break camp and
return to Americas some time during
the day. On their return they will
doubtless have some whoppin' FISH

HIGH PRICE OF JUNK
INVOLVEMENT To THIEVES

The high price of junk is proving a
Zig inducement to thieves. Hardly q
day passes but what some petty pilfer-
ing is reported. Nothing seems to be
immune that contains brass, rubber or
any of the various metals, and espec-
tally do automobiles come in for their
share of these depredations. In many
cases they are almost stripped of their
attachments and finishings.
Thursday it was reported that Tag
No. 1907 had been stolen from the car
Of T. T. Cochran, engineer of the Az
lantic Ice & Coal Corporation.
The authorities should see to it that
such restrictions are thrown around
the junk dealers as would in a measure
help to apprehend these sneak thieves,
who are becoming such a menace to the
community.
