Here's a new one in the line of fish
ing stories and it's from the Oxford
County Citizen. printed at Bethel:
On invitation of Mr.. Bingham jolly
party left for Pennesseewassee Lake
for a days fishing, Friday. The en-
semble of the party were: Mr.. and
Mrs Ogden L. Mills and two children,
| Miss Pease. Harry Leake, Irving L..
Carver and Mr.. Bingham. They were
| so fortunate that they were overloaded
with fish and on their way out they
were stopped by the Commissioner who
said they had more than the law al
! lowed SO they reluctantly turned back
and resusciated the surplus with the
| aid Of a pulmoter and put them back

elty-loving public that the history of
the Knowles escapades in defiance of
organized society and Of the United
Garment Workers need not be retold
in a mention Of Mr.. Knowles adven-
lures in the business of manufacturing
Maine and in California this eccentric
parsonage has won his way over the
barriers imposed by Nature and by
the press, and he now purposes an
assault upon the wild places and the
newspaper offices Of New York State
! What interests US most in this new
Knowles exploit is not the artists def
to the black bear; not his contempt of
the bull moose; not the thought Of his
wrestling, bare-handed, a toothsome
living from the piney crags of New
York's show-country; We are consumed

has invented a means Of making his
own paper for drawing and painting
purposes. If Joseph will whisper into
the ears Of long suffering publishers
the secret Of this new paper magic, in
this time of paper famine, the front
page is his for life!
