OUTDOOR LURE Of
TR0U1|NG SEASON

In the last few years there has
been general acceptance of the doc
trine of outdoor recreation. More
men and women have been taught
what benefits are derived from
healthy exercise in the open. 1t is
no longer considered folly to spend
a vacation under the open sky, along
some singing stream or wind swept
lake. America has the lakes. woods
and waters, and all th5 incentive for
all outdoor people to realize what
the outdoor life can do for health and
recreation. Angling has brought this
home to the people of SUN baked
dusty cities more than any other
thing in the line or sports. AS time
rolls along and spring draws nearer
ones thoughts turn to things out
doors. To the angler the first OF
April is the beginning of a new life,
a life in the open aud communion
with nature. Thoughtful men who
seek quiet places generally go fishing
and at this time of the year Is trout
ing time. The trout to some men is
the gamest OF ali fresh fish. Some
opinions differ greatly on this matter.
but be that as it may. he is a serappy
little customer when hooked.
To fish successfully for trout his
habits must be known. His habits in
ferent from the habits of his neigh
bors in the streams of other states in
different sections of the country. The
trout loves clear swift running
streams whether large or small, the
bottoms OF which are filled with
boulders and gravel He is wont to
hide under the overhanging banks of
the streams and under and along
fallen trees in deep holes made by
these distractions of the current.
This is particularly so with the big
fellows and of the little fellows who
delight in living in the rifles. In
the spring look for them among the
fast moving rapids. or in the eddies
along the banks The trout feeds
largely on insects He is q lively
forager for food, and you will often
see him chasing small minnows dur
ing the middle of the day. and now
and then leaping in the air for black
flies and moths He likes plenty of
oxygen and delights in the white
capped foaming waters below fall

It is but little less than useless to
fish for trout until after the snow
and ice are out of the streams and
they often will not strike on a clear
bright day. and after storm will

best for wading and trout are always
on the rise for flies and insects.

interest in the Atlantic City conven-
ton.
1t is expected they will accompany
the big delegation from the British
Isles on the voyage to New York and
this city.
Past President Pidgeon Is prepar-
ing the convention program. 1t will
