One Of the most interesting fea-
lures about fly casting is the con-
stantly changing conditions under
which the game fish are taken The
artificial 1y is made TO initiate, as
closely as possible, the natural insect
which frequents the particular water.
and it is therefore necessary to keep in
view not only the kind and size Of the
fly, but the season appropriate TO each,
as the insect which hovers about the
water in the early part of the season
differs materially from those which are
in evidence in the middle and latter
parts Of the season. The nearby States
have about the same variety Of fly life.
and this makes it possible to use the
same pattern Of artificial lure over
quite a wide stretch of territory. In
the early season the bass will usually
take a highly colored fly. insects thus
colored being then the prevailing kind.
About the middle of the season a de
cided change take place in the habits,
size and variety of the insect life. and
also in the habits of the black bass,
crappie and pike. Flies, as a rule,

.CUBS-RED SOX
BEST OF THE LOT

The further announcement by Secre-
tary Baker yesterday that extension Of
the work or night order as applied TO
ball players will be extended to Sep
tember IS not only makes certain a
worlds series, but also assures the
baseball public Of a real test between
skilful teams.
Neither the Cubs nor the Red Sox
comprise a great club, but without
doubt they are the best in their re-
spective leagues. Both clubs have re-
tanned more players Of class than any
other teams in their leagues, which is
one OF the reasons they are on top.
However, the Red Sox would have
been a total wreck had 10 not been for
the enterprise Of their leader, Harry
Frazee, who last winter skinned the
/ cream of the Athletics when he pur-
chased McInnis, Bush. Strunk and
Schang. These former Athletic stars

Anglers were as few last Sunday
along the canal banks as the FISH that
were caught While bats of the tempt

had nice catches Of catfish, while one

All kinds OF salt water fish are still

anglers who go out upon the many
fishing banks are reaping a harvest.

Very favorable reports have been
received by the association on the con-
dition Of the small-mouth bass recently
Installed in one OF the local streams.
The fish have grown to about 1 10
inches and have only been IN our
waters about six weeks. With proper
care and attention there should be
some very good angling for the small /
mouth variety in the course Of two
years.

Lake and pond fishing may be ex-
Dected TO take on change in the
course Of few weeks, as the water at

nights and mornings will, as a rule, be
nuch cooler. Bass. when caught, are

along the shore lines. The largest
catches thus far made have been taken
by the plug and fly casters. !

 The drug stores of w. E. Bevens and H. o Walker have been attrac- lively arranged with patriotic decora- tions urging success in the present Liberty Loan drive, and among the
 ther stores that have given care and attention to window arrangements IS that of s. Heinemann
