Twenty-Five Minutes To Consume

w. f. Meehan, angling editor Of
the Philadelphia Record, has this
to say in regard to. the feeding Of
the sheepshead, fish that Is al
most extinct in Northern waters:
Recently watched the big
sheepshead in the Fairmount Park
aquarium handle half a crab. II
was just TWENTY-FIVE minutes from
the time II first picked 1t up from
the bottom to the time he gulped
1t down finally. During the whole
of that time, when he had 1t in its
mouth the crab was never beyond
the front teeth, and except by
chance at no time within the TWEEN
ty.two minutes could 1t have been
hooked.

Local Anglers Report Big
Catches of Weak Fish Dur
ing Past Fortnight.
By r. A. ANGLER

AYOW that the trout have ar
rived in large schools and
~ big catches are being made
daily by local anglers, let us stop
and consider this sporty fellow
of the briny deep. Among all of
the fish that pay their annual
visit there are none more hand
some in appearance or give
greater delight to the eye of the
angler than this saltwater game
ster.
Making his initial appearance to
the local fishing fraternity in late
July, he remains until November,
when migration starts southwark.
As for his feeding, would say
that the trout has no fixed time.
as this Is affected by tide, nght,
wind, and water conditions. A
record catch may be made one day
on a certain tide and on the NOR
row on the same tide not nipoie
can be coaxed from this >foxy fel'
low, as you no doubt nave ex-
perienced.
But / would suggest that the last
of flood and the beginning or ebp
are UcSl lluCS w S@PNSS
There is little timidity about the
trout, when he happens upon your
bait he takes II with a rush, with
no preliminary fussing,
Though lacking the power OF
some of our fresh-water gamesters'
he is a strong fighter and on light
tackle will give q battle long to be
remembered. $1,000
Not being altogether a bottom
feeder II Is best to have your line
rugged with the lower hook a least
two and one-half to three feet from
the sinker. This may also heip
solve the toad.fis problem.
Bloodworms, shrimp. cut spot
soft and peeler crabs have proven
to be the best baits. ..
For his worth as table fisn' ne

OUR OWN STATE

One only needs to make a visit
to other sections Of the country
to fervently exclaim-Thank God
for Oklahoma.
Some ancient philosopher opined
that happiness was literally holding
a ticket for somewhere else. That
philosopher had never lived in Ok
lahoma. Only a ticket back to Ok
lahoma mean happiness to your
real Oklahoman.
The old south is all right. Fine
people, easy going ways, flowers,
fruits, etc, but there is too much
langour, too much blue blood, too
much old time aristocracy.
The east, my goodness There is
money there to be sure, plenty OF il
but there should be some compen-
s%ation, for alien population has
come in in such numbers that east
ern centers can barely be classed as
American now.
But Oklahoma-well we have
money and class and hospitality
and a mans a man for a that out
here.
Thank God for Oklahoma!

CARRY ON

Six months ago there was much
tumult and shouting. A great moral
reform wave swept over Carter
county, and swept men out OF OF
flee like an ocean tide. Law en-
forcement is what we need, shout
ed the people,
They looked around and selected
a young man by the name of Ew-
ing London. Ewing London was a
clean chap, courageous and OF a
splendid character, He had a good
business.
He didn't want the job but the
people wouldn't have anything else
and so he took off his coat and
waded in.
He has had lots OF trials and trib-
ulations. Difficulties of almost un-
surmountable consequence have
been reared against him, but in
spite Of it all, Ewing London has
done a mans job in a mans way.
Many of those who patted him
on the back and told him to go
to it-have done nothing since.
They wished the job that belonged
to all the people upon n man, and
watched him, or forgot about him
as the case may be.
Ewing London is asking for re-
election and he deserves it. The
people, by all that is right and
good. should rise up and acclaim
him elected. To fail to elect him
would be a blot upon the name Of
Carter county.
He is making his fight practi-
eally alone now, Gone are the
scores who took part in the clean
up. They had their little part and
faded out. But Ewing London is
carrying on the fight they started.
Scandalous tales are being told
about him. Untrue, OF course. Some
OF his opponents are playing a fair
and clean game, some of them are
not.
The Ardmoreite is not fighting
any of the other candidates. Every
one of them may be capable Of
handling the office, but we are
certain that the mar who should
be given the peoples preference
this time is Ewing London.
1t has been said many times that
the public is u~ngrateful to the men
who serve it best. Can this be said
of Carter county?

Former Navy radio operators and members of the Army signal corps have organized under the auspices of the American Legion in Nebraska and are broadcasting market reports, weather forecasts and weekly musical concerts to the rapidly growing legion of wireless telephone users.
 The aid of Mayor Curley of Boston, Mass, other city officials, the Amer ican Legion and the American consul at Sidney, N. S., was required before a Tank ex-service man, stranded" with his family in Nova Scotia, could be brought back to his Boston home. The Legion paid the bills the man had incurred and the officials unwound the necessary red tape.
 The superstition that all army top sergeants are "hard boiled took wing when an investigator unearthed one ex-top kick in Chicago who is spend- ing his time trying to locate jobs for ex-service men as his part of the American Legions' campaign to find work for world war veterans.
 *
 When two desperate criminals broke jail at Springfield, Tenn, and took re- fuge in the woods, the chief of police called on the American Legion after his own force had failed in it's effort to capture his former guests. The ex- service men formed battle line and the two fugitives were landed back in the calab boose.
 Judge Harry s. Keldan of Detroit, Mich, opening his court for business, found that the entire jury panel had been snapped up by other jurists. His Honor asked the American Legion to further the cause of justice with a result that a new set of ten talesmen, all jobless ex-service men, was i'm paneled. ,'
 
 . A thorough canvass of the ex-ser- vice men of Stuttgart, Ark, failed to bring, to light a single unemployed veteran. The unemployment commit tee of the American Legion was form ed to function 50 it dug up two jobs for men already employed which were better than the ones they had.
