mander of Company IL of the
164th Depot brigade here, sent
to the brigade supply officer.
The supply officer, thinking it
was mistake, sent the order
back to the company command
err. The latter stated that he
really wanted a hat that size.
Investigation developed that
the hat is desired by one John
Helsit, a giant Norwegian from
North Dakota. He was home
stealing in that state when
called for the draft. He has
always had his hats made to
order, and much trouble has re-
suited from this.
Helsit is all fitted out except
the hat, and he is anxiously
waiting for his headgear. That

waters, its flesh is firm and Of very
good flavor.
The natural food OF the black bass
varies greatly and is influenced by the
spawning season, character and tenn
perature OF the water and weather. The
adults are voracious and pugnacious
and devour other FISH almost indiscrim-
inately. Their food chiefly comprises
tadpoles, crawilsh, mussels, while the
young feed on insects and other minute
forms Of life found in the waters they
inhabit.
The bass afford perhaps the highest
type among fishes OF parental care and
watchfulness. guarding their young
until after the dispersal Of the school
Of fry; but many OF the young so
zealously protected In the season sub
sequently furnish food for adult bass,
possibly their own progenitors, as with
trout, bass Of the same school OF young
vary in size, and the larger prey mer-
cilessly on the weaker, often attacking
their own kind. even when other natu-
raj food is abundant.
There is a wide difference in the rate
OF growth. and there is no positive
way by which the age OF bass can
be truly determined from its size.
Some, as a rule, are comparatively
large from the moment they are hatch
ed, and grow much more rapidly than
the smaller members Of the same
school. Sizes Of adults vary in different
localities. The variations depend upon
vitality, scarcity or abundance Of food
and upon range and space given TO the
flsh. At the age Of fve or six months
the young bass measure from 4 10 s
inches. according to locality and sur
roundings.
The lsrge-mouth bass have been
known 10 weigh as high as % pounds
and a or pound bass In our waters
creates no surprise.
The crapple and the calico bass. as a
rule, do not exceed more than two
pounds. the average being one pound.
The natural habitat OF the crappie is
confined TO the Mississippi Valley,
though sometimes taken in the Great
Lakes region. By the number taken
each year from the Delaware and
Chesapeake canal, it can readily be seen
that this species Of flsh has thrived
since its introduction in this body Of
water.

While there are hundreds Of anglers
who go out for bass, there are, perhaps
very few who really know the life and
habits Of this gamy fish. BY reason OF
their wide geographical range, the
black bass have received a multiplicity
OF popular names. The large mouth
bass is known as Oswego bass. lake
bass, green bass, moss bass, yellow
bass, bayou bass, jumper and Welsh
man. In the north IL is generally called
black bass; in Virginia and North Caro-
lima 10 is usually designated as the chub,
and in Florida and the southern States
IL is often called trout. The small
mouth variety has received the COM
mon names Of lake bass, brown bass,
hog bass, ninny bass, black perch fused
In TIE mountain sections OF Virginia,
Tennessee and North Carolina), trout
perch, brown trout. jumper, mountain
trout, together with other names Of
purely local use.
Rock bass are known as red-eye, red
eye perch and goggle-eye and are some
times confounded with the Yarmouth,
which bears some Of the same names.
The calico bass has afro received the
names Of strawberry bass. grass bass,
Cle-eye, goggle-eye perch, speckled
perch and speckled trout.
The crappie IS known in its native
waters as crappie. new-light sac-a-bait,
campbellite, bachelor, chinquapin
perch, croppie and cropet. On account
OF the similarity Of the calico bass and
crappie, anglers frequently confound
the two, and the only sure way that
they may be determined is by the spines
on the dorsal I'm, although there is
slight difference in the formation Of the
body and particularly the line from the
upper law to the dorsal I'm.
Possibly no name OF the black bass
IS more commonly used than Jumper,
which is applied in certain parts or
the south. While the Black bass Of the
colder northern waters make him a
fighter Of wide repute he may be
taken from the waters OF the south
with hardly a struggle.
Rock bass are exceedingly pugna-
cious and sometimes seem TO take the
hook rather on this account than for a
desire for food.
The calico bass IS fairly good
fighter and when taken from cool. pure
