HERE IS FISH STORY
BY ASSESSOR STRAIN

Just because truth is stranger than
fiction, there are fish stories Some
fish stories arc true and some are just
fish stories. The following fish story
is sworn to as true, by none othen thar
l q. T.. Strain who, as county assessor
expects property owners to be likewise
truthful.
! Years ago, back in Indiana, Mr.
| Strain was angling for cat fish. Cat
fish are caught with trot line, "A sta
tionery hook and line, baited and
made fast where the big cats might
nibble and become imprisoned on the
hook.
On this particular occasion, MIR.
Strain says, he had caught few min
nows, bated the trot line. and gone
away, feeling certain that he would
have fish on the hook upon his re-
turn. He was longer than usual in re-
turning and found not alone one, but
three fish on the hook. To be more
explicit, but one was on the hook,
but the others were arranged in layers.
A small cat fish, tricked by the min
new bait, got himself snagged on the
trot line and the minnow was in his
throat Later very large catfish APP
peared, took a big mouthful of the
smaller catfish and get himself snag-
ged on the horns of the smaller fish.
When Mr.. Strain came to pull the trot
line out of water, he had the three.
The first time he told this story to
one of his good friends in this vicinity
the friend was reminded Of an expert
ence almost as thrilling with a grizzly
bear Mr.. Strain relates. The friend
found himself face to face with
ravenously hungry bruin in the woods
one day far from help and poorly
armed. The big animal treed the
man and the race toward the top or
a giant of the forest was fast and fur
ious. The bear climbed well and when
both were as high in the tree as they
could get, the friend began to take
hasty survey of what means he had for
protection.
"In my hip pocket, I found small
20 caliber pistol and five bullets he
said, "and iE another pocket found
feew feet of string. I knew the bullets
would not phase the bear If did shoot
him. so | tied the string to the trigger
and then played at the bear with my
feet. He snapped and snarled and
came closer. Just as he opened his
cavernous mouth / dropped the pistoi
into il and it lodged in his throat. 1t
hit so hard that he had to swallow pis-
tol and all. Then, with five pulls of
the string | reached a vital spot ana
he fell. dead. 800 feet to the ground.
"And could you blame him p asked
the assessor while he protested that
his cat fish story is gospel truth.

Work Must Continue.

1t Is not only a question of having
good roads. but it is a question OF
maintaining good roads once the
road is in, it is essential that 1t be
maintained in its highest efficiency.
and it is unfortunate that we have
spent great deal of money on roads
and then not kept them up after
wards.
What is a good road to a farming
community? a good road means an
immediate increase in land value. II
means closer proximity to primary
markets and increases the facility
with which the farmer can dispose of
his produce. Good roads bring tho
farmers in touch with the amenities
OF city life. and at ths same time
make it possible not to bring the farm
to the city but to bring the city to

peace endures. The present power of German militarism is broken but the sullen vindictive temper of the people remains It is this with which the allies will have to deal and the grave possibility of secret understanding between Russia and Germany There can be no guaranty of Germany's per manent reformation while there re- mains an opportunity for coalition be- tween these two countries.
 It should be not forgotten that the present peace is a conqueror's peace. It will remain in effect just so long as the nations imposing it have the power to enforce 1t and no longer. Perhaps a league of nations will be able to keep the peace but until the experiment is successfully tried the United States will do well to have a navy and an army second to none.
