I'll taste again of the childhood

The Lure of the Reel Sport
There is much in store for the
average man who takes advantages
of the life outdoors and more to the
man who fishes. In fishing, one
achieves unthought Of physical VIC
tories and the mind is freed from
petty cares, and is held open for
new impressions. The work a day
life, he has been running away
from, where he is planning outdoor
trips begins to favor on looking back
under a new point of view.
To persons of sedentary occupa-
ton, a fishing trip is ever productive
Of wonderfully new fields Of enjoy
ment.
There is the envigorating climate
with a punch" in it to get the city
man outdoors where he can gain
the spirit of the wooded shores of
cool breeze swept lakes, fast rum
ming streams and placid rivers.
where he can fill up his lungs. stir
up his brain and blood and build up
his muscles.
Nature tells us we should mental
ly and physically relax in the open
air in some form.
Men, in disobedience Of this law
of nature, may achieve the high
pinnacle which they seek in life,
but how unsatisfying are the re-
wards thus attained when at the
sacrifice Of health and the later
hours Of life are haunted by futile
regrets.
Angling a Fine Recreation
Angling is fast becoming the uni
versal recreation, alike to young and
old, rich and poor.
In the whole stretch of sports
there Is none so conducive to a
brighter outlook upon life.
Anglers become philosophers who
people the earth with kind faces
and fill it with good and kind acts.
Fishing maketh a man sufficient
unto himself-for him the world Is
bounded by the cast of his line"
Angling aids longevity. That good
old Isaac Walton lived to the ad-
vanced age of ninety years was
probably due in some degree to the
fact that he loved to go fishing.
Isaac Mcclellan. the angler poet,
died at the age OF ninety-two. DR..
Of the black bass, and who is re-
to as the Isaac Walton of the
anglers, is eighty-four and
is still hale and hearty.
Get Away from the Grind
From the embryo angler, the
small boy who delights in, and Is
content with sitting on the banks OF
creek or pond with cane pole, hook
and line, with an old cork for a float
and can of worms for bait, and fish
'or the lowly bullhead and sunfish.
% the scientific angler with rod and
he same, all imbued with that Won
ierful greatness, Gods domain, the
world outdoors, Nature.
There can be no doubt that GER
ain men are endowed with a sort
# inherent instinct, which leads to
ishing indulgence as the alluring
md satisfying of all ~recreations.
Then again. there is many a man
,r boy who needs but an introduce
ion to this most alluring and fasci-
of all outdoor sports to be-
ONE an ardent and enthusiastic
,ngler.
During the late spring and the
ummer months thousands of toll
RS from every walk in life are
the turmoil of the city for a
ew weeks of rest, recreation and
cooperation. And nowhere else is
here a surer relief than a brawling !.
