ON HANDLING THE PLUG.

ON HANDLING THE PLUG.
" Dear Buck:
Old man, when you lope into a tackle
pre- and see the many different
official plugs for unsuspecting FISH,
u are sure in a quandary as to q Sc
,tion of what plugs will really get
|e fish. Naturally every plug-maker
|uts his bait up as the one and only
re-shot killer, and at that he is not
r. wrOng-here's a bit Of a secret,
d one that viii be we'll for you to

L plug will get fish If you play It
ght and keep it moving in the water,
E you certainly got to keep it NOV
&. You could throw a plug on the

d every old game fin in that neck
the waters would let it float in
lace, and about all you might expect
build be a couple little minnows, or
|rhaps a perch to come up and nose
around out of curiosity.
lick Transfer Of Rod.
Where the beginner at plug casting

equally important to start the plug
meward instantly, as It is to place
in just the spot you had aimed at.
A bass is interested in the plug from
p moment it strikes the water, and
en- this interest is awakened while
p plug is in the air right above the

Dve to make the strike before the

This transfer of the rod from the

Do not make this sweep too far back
or you will not be in a position to
strike your fish the moment he strikes
your plug. and with the artificial this
is necessary. AS you start Keeling in
the line, let the rod work back in front
of YOU. This takes the strain off the
rod. and you are always in a position
to strike If necessary. If you get a
bscklash. however, all your trouble
goes to naught, and If you experience
a strike with a backlash in full bloom,
goodnight: you'll swear by every card
in the deck that you will reel in the
line more carefully next time.
Floater for the Beginner.
For starter In plugs IL is well to
lay in a supply of floaters, the plug
which comes to the surface when you
stop Keeling in the line. Most of the
surface or semi-surface lures are float
ers, and the beginner saves quite a
bit Of money due to this fact, as the
underwater plugs have a great little
habit of hunting the bottom and low
ingly cling to the first snag or rock

season fishing the surface plug Is the
one that gets the fish, and in fact It

You will get better results by using
either an underwater plug or sending
the surface affair down deeper for the

eyelets or planes which send the lures

holes In early morning and late even.
ing fishing, when the bass are IN the
shadows, feeding. the surface lure is
a rafting good bait, and for night
fishing no other style plug has a look
in.
Right Into the Weeds.
! OF course, old man. you'll want to
cast right into the weeds when you
find likely-looking spot. and II is
some job to handle a plug in such
places without hooking half the weeds
in the layout. For work in the weeds
unless you strike a fairly open pocket
the plug with the trebled hooks is bad
medicine, and you should either casi
a few lures equipped with weedles.
hooks or one with the twin-hook ar
rangement with the hooks pointing
up. For a regular old-style weed rake
nothing has it on the underwater plug
and the floater is shown up TO goo,
advantage in comparison.
And don't be in the least surprised
at the odd shapes to some OF thes'
little old fish teasers. Many an ole
"he-wop," that should have known bet
ter, has fallen to the lure of a plus
that looks no more Ike his regular
line OF eats than "Uncle Tom" looks
like Sanity Klaws. And keep in MIND
that every plug in the deck is a fish
getter. and that, if you give it a good
try-out and keep it moving in the
water. you are likely to surprise your
self as we'll as the fish by landing q

new addition, to be known as
Wakanda, lying along the river
in the southeast part of the city.
1t will cost, about $4,000 and
will be the finest residence in
Baxter Springs. The style will
be along bungalow lines. The
living room at the front will be
1892 feet, with a fire place at
one end and a console at the
other. Of this room will be a
retreat with a disappearing bed.
Another feature is an English
breakfast room which can be
turned into a sun parlor within
FIVE minutes after the meal is
over. The basement will have a
laundry room and in the second
story will be sleeping rooms for
servants, a sleeping porch,
shower and tub baths and an
observation balcony. The home
will be modern throughout in
cluding appliances for cooking
by electricity. n. W. Dunham

is the record of the Oklahoma
Kansas Boiler & Welding COM
pany, managed by Earl j. Baker

came here from Joplin. Finan-
cially, one might have called it a
"Shoestring" company when it
started, since Mr.. Baker says
the first bank deposit was $3.50
in the Baxter State bank. But
what the company lacked in
money they made up in personal
credit and expert knowledge Of
their business, and they were
soon swamped with work. The
bank carried them over the
rough spots and now Baxter has
q concern that has increased its
population by more than 25
people and is pouring several
hundred dollars a month into
our stores. 1t is a case of ex-
tending a helping hand to deserv-
