A FISHING STORY.
Avenue, Gil

A girl and I had been planning for
a fishing trip in the Chickahominy
River for long time. When one Fri
day II was a beautiful day. and we
made up our minds TO go. So we fixed
up some fishing tackles and got some
bait and washed out a boat and started
on our fishing trip. 1t was a lovely
sunshiny day, just right for fishing.
When We got out in the river the boat
started to leaking and we both could
swim. So we jumped In the water
and swan ashore and got another
boat. Then we went back to the boat
we left drifting in the river and got
II and brought 1t ashore. Then we
took our fishing tackles out We went
back fishing in another boat. We baited
our lines. tnen put them in the water.
All at once something grabbed my girl
friends line and carried ii down under
the water. She pulled and pulled and
all OF sudden the fish made a hard
pull. She was going overheard when
! grabbed her. Then I pulled her in
the boat 1t took both OF us to pull
the fish in. When we got 1t in it was
bass. weighing twenty pounds. the
largest that has ever been caught in
TINS river. So we hold the champion
ship OF this river. We caught MANY
other fish. but never one so large as
this one.

THE STORY OF TEN CHICKS.

Last year sick girl named Marian
lay in a great hospital. No one thought
she was ever going to be well, and
every one felt very sorry for her. One
day one of the hospital doctors brought
ten little chicks in q basket to show
her, thinking to cheer her up. He had
no place to caro- for the fluffy things,
and tried to give them away. Then
two OF the older nurses began to think
of how tired they were: and third
nurse remembered a little tract Of land
she had in the great West. When they
all began to think together. this Is

West, where the air was fresh and
pure and sweet. The chicks grew into
beautiful fowls. Marian grew we'll and

Perhaps you should like to hear
something about the life Of the salmon
1t Is indeed interesting to know what
wonderful things the salmon do by
instinct. The most valuable salmon are
FOUND In Alaska and British Columbia
They are sent to all parts OF the coun-
try. When the. salmon are first Matched
they are worry. very tiny. They require
very little food for the FIRST six weeks
When they are about. year old. they
start out for the ocean where they
become very fat.
The salmon have n hard time in get
ting to the ocean. They have to pass
many falls and rapids. and sometimes
they get perfectly exhausted before
they make the trip. Men have built
ladders In order that the fish may leap
over and make the trip without so
much trouble, They know by instinct
that these ladders are meant for them,
and 1t Is quite interesting to watch
them leap from one side Of the ladder
to the other.
While the salmon are out in tho
ocean. they feed on almost anything
they can find. In short time they
become very fat.
When the female salmon are ready
to lay their eggs. they make their
way back to the place whore they were
born. A strange thing about salmon is
that they generally lay their eggs
where they were born. and by instinct
they make their way to their old home.
| They have hard time going back to
their home. Since they are so fat now,
they arc In danger of being captured.
After long trip, they get bnck to
tho place from which they have started.
They make their nests In places where
| the water is worry swift They dig down
in the sand for several feet and there
lay their eggs. II Is wonderful TO
think that a salmon lays from 900 to
1000 eggs for every pound OF her
weight. They spend few years here
and then Btnrt for tho ocean once

WESTERN STAR

Frank A. Seiberling. president Of
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. at
Akron, has purchased the Jacob Har-
ter homestead just east Of Western
Star. He will soon commence max
ing extensive improvements and re-
pairs to the place and will probably
make it an ideal farm. The interior
and rear of the home will undergo
some changes but the large colonial
pillars in front will remain as they
are. Mr.. Seiberling was born in this
house and has always cherished an
ambition to possess it. Advancing
years, which made it difficult for Mrs.
Harter to look after her business in
terests, prompted the sale, although
she, with her son, ]. Fl. Harter and
family, will retain possession for the
present.
Nate Harter, of Akron, and Mrs.
Aaron Teaple and two daughters, of
Akron, and Forest Swain and family,

sion our pastors wife, Mrs, Staley,
gave us very good talk on mission
work. : A fine lunch was served by the
} hostess.
Il With zero weather we can't get out
} after much news. Quite number of
the neighbors have had to put coal oil
heaters in their cellars to keep pota-
toes from freezing. They are too
lprecious to freeze.
