THE BEST TIME TO FISH
Is When til Fish Are Bitin'-
When III Fever Strikes an
Strikes Hard.

, This is the time o. the twelve
month when the most catchin' OF
all maladies, known as hshinitis,
appears to disturb the otherwise
peaceful life of the Teller near
stream or lake. The symptoms
of fshinitis are easily discernable
and it attacks the female of the
species frequently as violently as
the male.
In some patients the symptoms
are discovered by mother when
she searches for her Bedding sew
ing silk and finds it on fathers
split bamboo casting rod, along
with a splattering of shellac on
household objects in general.
The disease sometimes shows
itself when sonny adjusts last
years reel. although it appears
also in tae tying of fancy trout
and bass flies, the cleaning OF
tackle boxes and creels, or as has
been found the case recently, in
the whiting out of funny look
ing wooden plugs called "wob-
blers." When the epidemic takes
this form, however, the patient
should be watched day and night
for signs of violence.
But come!
Let's all get 6shinitis. It's hot
weather; the water looks jest
right, and we're beginning &c
hear that they're a-breakin' the
smooth surface of the old stream
but the pestiferous OF lawlsays
"Nothin' DOM" and the game
warden watchin you all the time
And they amt no use to pine.
Pull out the old reels. See that
that pair of boots don't leak
Look over the rods, and that
line of pet flies and bats of yours
Mr. Angler; tie some new flies
and see how it feels later on to
wigwag to an old he-trout Oh

Go to Larry's place and buy one

feated by Strong Alumni Team

By GFRY.s

Although it put up a. good fight,
the Rock Island high school basket
ball team was defeated last night
by the score Of So to 80 by the fast
alumni five in the Y. M. G. A. gym.
The high school team played great
game, and Davenport will have to
have a wonderful five to beat it
next Saturday The alumni team
this year is the strongest quintet
that the grads have organized for
many a day, all the players being
ex-high school and college stars.
The teams played fairly even the
first half and it was nearly five
minutes before the high school
made the first basket. The alumni,
however, soon surged ahead and
continued in the lead throughout
the game. The score at the end of
the first half was % to II.
The second half started much
like the first, but the high school
experienced difficulty in finding
the basket, while the Tabor broth
ers lived up to their reputation and
kept rolling them in. The alumni
scored 30 points in the last half
while the high got Is
Dopp and Anderson starred for
the high school and on the alumni

Nearly 1900 samples Of seed
were received for test last year at
the seed-testing laboratory Of the
United States department of agri-
culture in Washington. and IL ,349
samples at the five branch labora-
tories maintained in cooperation
With state institutions. All of these
samples were examined TO deter
mine the quality of the seed and
the presence OF adulterants. The
enforcement OF the seed-importation
act has served to prevent many
shipments OF imported seed, unfit
for seeding purposes, from being
distributed in their original condi-
ton. Among these shipments
over $4,000 pounds of red clover
seed were prohibited entry on &C
count of the presence of weed seeds
and dead seed. Approximately one
half OF this was recleaned in bond

seed Of good quality was allowed to
SO into the seed trade. The other
half of the prohibited red clover
shipments was rejected because it
contained so much dead seed as to
be of practically no value for seed
ing purposes. Three shipments,
aggregating enough seed to SOW 49,
600 acres at a normal rate of seed
ing, contained no seed which could
be expected to grow in the field.
Because of the difficulties of trans

most all kinds of seed have fallen
off, Canada bluegrass grom Canada
and winter rape from Japan being
the only two items of imports
which have exceeded those of the
previous year.
