r ROLLING.

My Dear Buck:
After few hours casting, when your
rod begins to feel like piece Of lead
just slip into an easy position and take
a little whirl at trolling, besides resting
up your casting arm and putting 1t In
shape for double-header in the after
noon, you stand mighty good chance
of landing some fine fish with the least
amount Of exertion up to the actual
period Of fighting the fish. Trolling Is
sure the lazy flsherman's delight and
the fat mans preference.
Braided Lines Best.
The best line for trolling Is the
braided silk or linen, as the twisted
lines cannot be used successfully on
account Of the linking caused by the
twisting and turning of the line, which
cannot altogether be avoided. In as
sembling your rig for trolling don't be
afraid to use swivels; they help keep
the line from twisting. In rigging up
the spoon hook for trolling, which Is
the most commonly used, loop the line
on swiveled wire leader, six or
eight inch one is plenty long enough
and at the end Of the leader snap on
the spoon, which for ordinary fishing
for wall-eyed pike, or bass should not
be larger than No. 8, while for pike,
pickerel or musky a No. to No. 8 Is
plenty large enough. One Of the big
mistakes In using the trolling spoon
Is to select a No. IL In the single
spoon or a No. 10 In the tandem style,
with bunch of feathered hooks on
the end large enough to scare any fish
on first sight. Some of the finest
musky and pike have been caught on a
little old No. spoon with q sinner
or pork rind futtering on the hook.
Take No. 8 single spoon or a No. 4
tandem with nice-sized black sucker,
club or sinner hooked behind, and
you have an ideal pike or musky
trolling rig Top this of with a small
piece Of red flannel right In front Of
the bait, and they sure cannot resist It..
Troll Deep Tor Bass.
When the bass have left the shore
waters for the cooler deep water and
you have failed to coax them up with
the cast, just locate a bar twenty or
thirty feet under water and take a
shot at trolling for them with bronze
colored underwater minnow. Take
the small size. about two-inch minnow,
let out about Is feet Of line, and troll
deep. For clear water use the bronze
or copper color, and for dull days try
the aluminium. For an artificial, this
little old bait Is sure winner. A mud
minnow. frog or pork rind strip with
little red yarn and q No. 8 spoon
makes a trolling outfit that looks good
to the bass.
There Is one little angle to the troll
ing game that some of the sure-enough
fishermen have overlooked, and that
Is to troll with flies for bass. Take q
nine-foot gut leader, loop on three flies,
slip three split-shot sinkers, about No.
1, on the leader three feet apart to
keep the flies one or two feet below
the surface, and troll along very slow
ly and quietly. Let out rs yards Of
line and strike right after the bass
strikes. A good combination of flies
for trolling is the Coachman, Silver
Doctor and the red or brown Hackle.
Trolling with flies for bass might be
called the HIGHEST art-of ,thct end OF

Tho Value Of Biography.

It Is not only commanded by an

of great and worthy men, as the best
thanks which posterity can pay them,
but all the examples Of virtue are Of
more vigor when they are thus con-
tracted into individuals. AS the SUM-
beams, united In a burning glass to a
point, have greater force than when
they are darted from plain superficies,
so the virtues and actions Of man
drawn together In single story,
strike upon our minds stronger and

walton, and then he says that "who-
soever believeth on him shall receive
remission of sins"
Faith in Christ Necessary.
Cornelius was very sincere man,
doing the very best he knew how, but
his sincerity was not sufficient. He
was something like Paul, who says
"that if any man had whereof he might
trust in the flesh, he more" In the
second place Cornelius was very re-
ligiOus man for he had conviction of
sin which led him to sorrow for his
sin. A reading of the tenth chapter Of
Acts would show he had great desire
to know the way of salvation. He was
also. we are told, a man of great piety,
which showed itself in great reverence
and much liberality In the way Of
aims giving. To crown 1t all he was
a man given to much prayer. But his
piety, reverence, prayer or even his
repentance was not sufficient to give
him salvation. Sincerity of purpose
and Christianity are not synonymous;
religion and Christianity are not
synonymous None of these things
which are so much thought of as be-
ing necessary for salvation can ever
take the place of simple faith In Jesus
Christ The Bible does not say "who-
soever repenteth and is reverent and
prays and has a desire to be saved, or
is sincere, shall find remission of SINS"
1t does say most distinctly that "whO-
soever believeth in him shall receive
remission of SINS"
Faith in Christ Sufficient for Salvation.
The thief upon the cross could not
get down and undo what he had done,
nor make restitution Of any kind, nor
could he come down from the cross
and live a good life, but he could ex-
ercise faith in Christ, and this was suf-
ficient for his salvation. Nicodemus
had everything which would recon-
mend him as worthy of salvation, but
his morality and rectitude of character
left him dead in trespasses and in sins
until he exercised simple faith In
Christ. When Paul speaks to the
brutal Roman jailer of Philippi he says
nothing Of reformation Of life, but tells
him simply to "believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved"
When Philip finds Nathaniel engaging
in prayer he does not tell him to pray
harder or longer, but brings him to
Christ. The Holy Spirit declares In
Romans 4 IS, "but to him that worketh
not, but believeth on him that justi-
feth the ungodly, his faith is counted
for Righteousness" The Gospel Of
John has been written shat we might
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the
Son of God, and that believing we
might have life in his name." While
faith in Christ is absolutely neces-
sary for salvation, it is entirely suffi-

Famous Swords Of Japan.

Some famous swords Of Japan have,
as do some famous Jewels, their own
individual names. One sword Of great
repute was called Little Crow" Le-
gends and superstitions are connected
with such historical blades or their
makers. One Of these makers was
called the "One-handed Smith," The
story goes that while in his apprentice
ship to an older artisan he came to
learn everything his superior knew. ex-
cept the exact temperature Of the
water used in tempering. Finally, able
to endure his situation no longer. he
stole to the forge one day when the
master was working alone and pre-
pairing to temper finished work of
high quality. Rushing in, the younger
man thrust his hand into the water,
only to have 1t cut off by the irate
employer.

Faith In Christ Open to All.
Our text does not pick out any par
ticular class which may have faith In
Christ, but 1t uses the widest word
possible and says, whatsoever believ-
eth in him shall receive remission Of
SINS" This wide word Is used
throughout all of Scripture. Isaiah
says, "Ho, every one that thirsteth."
John 3:16 declares, "That God so loved
the world that he gave his only be-
gotten Son, that whatsoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have ever
lasting life." Romans 1 10 declares
that the Gospel Of Christ us the power
of God unto salvation to everyone that
believeth." And the Bible closes with
the broad invitation for whatsoever will
to come. No one is shut out. Faith in
Christ is the simplest thing in the
world. 1t is absolutely necessary, but
wholly sufficient for salvation.

THE OPEN COLUMN


Editor the Missourian: | wish TO
offer a suggestion TO the Columbia Of
ficials. Columbia is a school town
and consequently has many visitors
every year. II is annoying for stran-
gers who come here, not to be able to
find out the names of the streets.
There are very few street signs up,
and it is difficult to find places.
Columbia should put up some sort
of permanent sign posts. Several
years ago wooden posts were put up
at street corners, but these were not
substantial, and soon were knocked
down or decayed at the base. As a re-
suit this city is practically without
street signs.
If the city could agree to erect sub
stantial sign posts, it would not on
ly be aiding visitors and students who
come here to live. but it would also
make Columbia streets look better

PREDICTS RAISE IN WHEAT
Seed Demand and Smaller Production
viii Cause Increase, Says Anderson.

That the price of wheat is going
higher than last year, unless Congress
establishes a maximum price, is the
opinion of W. T. Anderson, president
of the Boone County Milling Company.
He pointed out that the wheat crop
this year is 653,OOO,0OO bushels-63,-
100000 bushels less than last year
With the wheat carried over from last
year the total is 701 100000 bushels.
But Mr.. Anderson pointed out that,
with double the acreage to be sowed
in wheat this year. 10O,000,0OO BUSH
els more would be needed for seed.
Mr.. Anderson believes that the farm
ers ought to SOW every inch of avail
able land in wheat, as it is the only
way the great shortage of food can be
met.
To help the farmer Mr.. Anderson is
providing all the seed wheat he can
obtain. He bought the crop of ]. A
Hudson and is selling it for seed. This
is a special kind of wheat known as
Marvellous" Only one-half bushel of
this wheat is required to the acre.
During the past week Mr.. Anderson
said about five or six thousand bush
els of wheat had been bought by the
mill. The corn crop promises to be
larger than last year. The cool wealth
er during the past week has had no
bad effects upon the corn.

10000 WOMEN SIGN
HOOVER FOOD PLEDGE
Mrs. Walter MCNabb Miller
of Columbia Had Charge
of Registration.

Not SO Great as in

BY United Press

JEFFERSON CITY, August Zap
proximately $4,000 Missouri women
have registered for service and signed
the Hoover food pledge for food con-
servation to help prosecute the wal
more vigorously according to returns
received at the Women's Registration
headquarters in the offices of the Mis-
souri, Council of Defense.
Here, under the direction of Mrs.
Walter McNabb Miller of Columbia,
who had charge of the Registration
for women in Missouri outside of st.
Louis, a corps of girl clerks have been
busily engaged since Registration Day,
July %, in receiving and filing the
signed cards and requests for the Of
fetal button and household tag to be
displayed as an evidence of the sign
er's interest in the work. The returns
from the ia counties were placed in
so many pasteboard boxes, while those
from St. Louis, where approximately
40 900 registered and from Kansas
City, where more than $4,000 women
signed the cards, will be filed sepa-
rately.
That Missouri women are alert to
the possibilities of the war and keenly
anxious to be of service is evidenced
by the flood of mail that has poured
into the offices of the Missouri Council
of Defense in connection with the reg
istration.

an, land am sure if we COULD have

Many did not understand it, even
among the well informed on other
subjects. We found the impression
even among our friends, that it meant
service away from home, and possibly
they would be torn from their family
without notice for service in France.
OF course, it was foolish. but people

or high degree"
Another woman thinks it would be
a commendable conservation step to
adopt a war bread to conserve the
wheat supply. "If people who do not
like corn bread" she writes, would
use little more corn meal with their
light bread, when kneading for the
last time, they can hardly tell the diff
ference. Most Northern people do not

THE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

If the war lasts two years or more,
the benefits from the work of the
state and county councils OF defense
nromise to Justify a large part of the
eypense and suffering the war Will
cause. The work of these bodies is
the bringing home to each individual
the close cooperation required for
the success of this huge task.
Through this medium we are to learn
the lesson of our personal obligation
to society, something we have not
known before. Well learn something
of patriotism, and the feeling of ma
tionalism. The war will tax to the
limit our great national resources.
Each of us must be made to feel
that he has an active part in the
work. 1t is to be the work OF our
county councils of defense, composed
of men we all know, to bring this OBJ
legation home TO US.
The benefits of this cooperative
work will not stop with the imme-
diate war purposes. In fact, it is the
results in the future that promise
most compensation. Closer co-oper.:-
ton of farmers has been a need
everywhere in this country. In this
respect the new work promises a
great deal. Even the slight awaken
ing of the people since the war began
already has shown results in the
number of gardens and amount of
garden products already obtained.
And this has been done merely
through publicity. The possibilities
in the greater work of cooperation
cannot be overestimated Intensive
agriculture will receive great
boost. The results will be seen in
years to come. in better farms. great
er production, better rural conditions
of every sort-schools, churches, liy-
ing conditions-everythi needed to
make rural life more attractive.
The benefits will not stop even
there, however There will be bet
ter understanding between country
and town. The farmer will learn
that he can neighbor with the towns
man, and the townsman will learn
that the farmer can do something be-
sides produce food. The farmer and
the country town merchant have been
growing farther apart. Really, one

how, neither has appreciated this
fact. When they meet and know each
other in this common work of national
defense, much of the prejudice should
disappear. There is a wonderful lot
of promise in this phase of the work.
Every citizen of the county-farmer,
merchant. tradesman-should help
the county council of defense in every
way he can. He should not wait to
be asked, but should go to them with
an offer of service.
