Getting the Facts

Editor National Leader: I have
just finished reading and studying the
last copy Of the Leader and will say
I have always been very much inter
ested in the Leader, but more so after
reading this last issue.
In regard to the article on the way
the federal land banks have been ham
died, the farm loan banks mean, will
say, am glad to have the information
the Leader gives. l was the one to
organize the local borrowers associa-
ton here at Baker, Mont. They will
not let another loan be made in Mon
tana until the first one is paid up.
can show congress several good
farmers here who, if allowed a small
loan which is all they ask, would make
our association stronger and more
safer for all. They are not threaten
ed with foreclosure, but simply want
to get away from the unfair 10 per
cent interest which is hanging over
them. ! shall write our congressman
in regard to this matter at once.
I have canvassed our community
and sent several petitions to congress
asking for the revival of the grain
corporation. Also, have written sew
eral more petitions and, addressed sew
eral envelopes to our congressman and
sent same to some reliable farmers to
have filled out, and they inform me
they received several names and sent
same to Washington. have a letter
in answer from Mr.. Riddick.
1 advise all farmers who are inter-
ested in the betterment Of our country
to get interested in the doings at
Washington and write their congress-
man., because we must have active,
wide-awake farmers to accomplish
anything. The Leader is about the
only paper we have that we can de-
pend on as to the information being
correct. OF course, we have other
good papers, but always feel when
| read the Leader that I am reading
facts. In the past there were times
when was not sure of the facts, but
verified them OF course, like the
wolf in sleeps clothes, some people
the Leader exposes have way Of get
ting around it.
Now my hearty advice to all farm
ers and laboring men is to read, study,
listen and keep your eyes open, but
your mouth shut, as the old saying
goes. But tell the good news to your
neighbor, keep after your congress-
man, and if you need any information
write the Leader. Don't depend alto
gether on your town banker. You can
see where he has gotten you already.

 AUBURN WILL RESUME WORK ON WEDNESDAY

Auburn, December 1)- Within day or so many of the stu dents will be piling back into Auburn to renew their attacks next Wednes- day against ignorance and other dis eases accustomed to stalk the coun- try. They will receive the usual cor dial welcome on their return for, with the exception of very small number. no students remained in Auburn during the holidays. They preferred to visit mother. sister and other friends at home.
 During the holidays. with the women attending clubs and parties. the me of Auburn, including several of the professors, have displayed un- usual ambition and heroism in pre- senting themselves on the streets for their semi-weekly horseback rides led by the genial Major Spalding.
 Contrary to former years, the stu dents left Auburn for the holidays without having taken the regular term examinations. The change from the three-term to the semester basis brought the mid semester examina- tions in November, and the first semester examinations will begin on January 21. This will give the stu dents bit more than two weeks after their return to take another look in on their books before meet ing their Goliath.

the need for the additional protection against escapes which Is necessary at Speigner.
 An effort will be made to complete the preliminary work, including the letting of contracts, within two months and to have the mill ready for operation at the beginning of the new fiscal year October 1.
 Governor Kilby said negotiations are now being carried on for the dis position of the mill at Speigner. How ever, he emphasized that the program does not call for a forced sale of this mill and that no offer will be ac- cepted which does not come up to the reasonable value of the property
 Much of the construction work on the mill will be done by convict la bor, thus causing a great saving to the state. This has been true of the construction of the prison and prison walls, convict labor being used to great advantage and causing an i'm portant saving to the treasury.

This announcement was authorized by Governor Kilby today with the further statement that the mill will be constructed during the year regardless of the outcome of negotiations for the sale of the prison cotton mill at Speigner.
 The new mill will have 10000 spin dies and will be equipped for the manufacture of cotton sheeting and osnaburgs. It will be so arranged that additional units may be added as the demands for the products grow The cotton mill should be ready for operation by the time the modern prison camp at Camp Kilby is com pleted, thus giving employment at once to the convicts who will be transferred to this prison from other camps. When it is completed, con- victs employed in it will work with

In the case of large fish with unusual speed st wool en "thumber" is advisa ble to prevent peeiing your thumb before you know it. Seldom is this discovered during the excitement of playing "big boy and frequently trouble can be avoid ed by this bit of forethought.
 Another secret is 10 keep your fish out some distance from the boat dur ing the play process, and never per init him to run under, if you can pre- vent such a maneuver, which is d favorite stunt with large bass and pike, among others, to obtain slack.
 Tackle Too Heavey
 To illustrate what unnecessarily heavy tackle the average fisherman employs these days, three of us were recently discussing this very thing one night at Camp Walton after an evenings good sport. A clever caster expressed the belief he could land 2 three-pound trout on No. 30 spool cotton.
 How about back -lash?" he was asked.
 | "of course, it's all up in that event. he replied; but flashes are infrequent, and loss of a dollar min- now at each mishap of that kind will minimize the number. Let's try it tomorrow"
 We agreed. With the loss of only three minnows during the morning, we put IS fine trout in the boat on No. 30 spool cotton. They ran from a pound and a half to nearly four pounds.
 This experiment was pursued. Each time we frightened our lines until We got to No. TO spool cotton, on which reach of us took two and d half pound trout. One member of the party took pound speckled trout on No. so spool cotton. If you doubt this. write w. B. Harbi- son one of the leading lumbermen of the south, at De Funiak Springs, Fla. his home, and he will verify the statement. He's the man that did it.

 Character of Tackle
 The thrill and sport in fishing with the man who is after pleasure and not tonnage" depend almost entire ly on the character of tackle he uses, and whether the fish has any fight ing qualities. Who cares to "yank" in sluggish white perch on lum- bering bamboo, and haul up bulky red snappers 200 feet with a pound weight hand over hand.
 But where is the real fisherman who hasn't found lots of fun in play in quarter of pound Dream or a half pound rainbow or brook on a nine-foot, five-ounce fly rod in the spring when the water is cool, the leaves are budding and the fish Is in fighting humor?
