YOUR FISHING OUTFIT.
Have It In Perfect Shape When the
Time Comes to Use 1t.

Vanishing tiSlin" rod is simple
enough if one will only take the time
and 1t is easy to make ten dollar rod

season opens or before ones fishing va

brush as possible and work it out I'M
til the brush slides off the rod When
the first coat is finished the rod will be
covered with brush marks. Put the
rod away for a week When you take
1t out again those marks will have dis

powdered stone and crude oil. Use
little stone, lots of oil and all the rub

depends on allowing each coat Of var
nish to dry thoroughly.
While waiting for the varnish to dry
the methodical man would naturally
look over his stock of flies. discarding
the damaged ones Those that are
only mussed can be doctored with
steam Put a cork with a small hole
through 1t in the spout of teakettle
or hold the fly over the vent in your
radiator. Make a bodkin by sticking a
needle In small piece Of wood With
the needle point stroke up the wings
and hackles If the fly is badly stuck
together it can be washed in tepid
suds. Stick the flies In strip of cork
or soft wood until dry: then put them
away In moth balls or tobacco.
Soak the old leaders and test them
while wet If you are fly fisherman
buy some lengths of git of the same
size as the end of the leader and tie a
strand to each. Leaders heightened in
this way last much longer. Breaks Oc,

will lose only the piece you tied on.
This is particularly true of tapered
leaders.

Miss Rankin was speaking on a
resolution 10 give the president power

The speaker said she had made
many futile efforts to interest fedora
officials in the Montana situation. After

"Thi~ rustling card system has ef
