CATCH FISH With
A SEARCHL|GHT
MARKET OWNERS FIND NEW
WAY TO GET THEIR GOODS
Rays Make Water Transparent at
Night and Men Drag Out "cats"
Rapidly. =

James Gotten and James Reece con.
duct a fish market in Webb City, Mo.
They had done good business for
some time, purchasing their stock
from various fisherman. But by the
time they had paid these men IL
cents a pound gross for their fish and
then sold them at 20 cents net, paid
high rent and other expenses, they
failed to realize reasonable profit.
They owned an auto, so they deter
mined by it's use to cut down eX-
penses and at the same time handle
goods they knew were fresh. The
nearest large stream where catfish
for which they had the best market
were caught was fifteen miles away.
Golfer and Reece purchased small
but powerful searchlight, which would
throw stream of light into the water
at night for a depth of several feet.
Daylight was not as good for their
plan as was darkness, because of be-
ing unable to see so far into the water
in the daytime and because the fish
were usually under logs or overhang-
ing rocks. But at night the catnsh IS
always in "the open"
The men built a flat-bottom boat
with roof and sides for protection
against cold winds, and set up wood.
burning stove.
Work began in earnest. The flash
light made the water perfectly trans
parent. In less than ten minutes
Golfer had seen, slipped huge hook
under, and landed a three pound "cat."
That night five fish were captured,
weighing three, twelve, twenty-one,
forty-eight and fifty-six pounds each,
making total Of 140 pounds.
At the price they had been paying,
this number would have cost them
$16S0. And they have done even bet
ter since then their best catch being
210 pounds.
Golfer and Reece have found that
they can make good profit by selling
their goods now at Is instead of 20
cents pound-something their COM
petitors cannot do. The result is a
greatly increased business. So sue
cessful has the venture proved that
the market owners are planning to
catch fish by the searchlight method
more extensively.

Mr.. Bruton became so mathematical
that he counted how many steps he

he opened and closed his eyes in a

took when shaving. At first he re.
quired sos strokes of the razor to do
the aforementioned performance, and
when he had cut the strokes down to

NEW YORK, July 30:-(By mail)
 Based upon the records of the past five years the lead of the New York National League Club. shortly after ,uc halfway point of the season was reached, would appear to indicate that the team would win the senior league pennant. The race is so close in the American League, however, that no such conclusion can be en- tertained in advance. Including the games played on July 15 the New York Giants led their nearest rivals, the Philadelphia club. by 95 points. In the American race the Boston com bination had but three point mar gin over the Chicago White Sox.
 A comparison of these figures with those of July 15 for each season since 1912 shows that without exception a club leading either the National or American Leagues by fifty points or better on the middle of July cap tured the pennant and figured in the worlds series. Both the Phila- delphia Athletics and the Brooklyn teams were able to come through with trife less margin and the ph1llies ran a nine point lead into a pennant in 1916, but this was an exception.
 The New York Club won the 1912 pennant by 66 points after having a margin of 126 points on July 15 of that year. The following season the
