NIBBLINGS OF NIMROD
Summertime's a-comin',
So scour up your pole,
And we'll all go a-fshin'
In the old swimmin' hole.

Feb. 3rd, 1923
AS Mr.. Grounding did not see his
shadow we all know that spring is not
far away.
Speaking of spring naturally re-
minds one of running streams, and
running streams remind some of US
of swimming fish. In late edition Of
the Clarion l note that Mrs. Harman
landed 6h pound bass from some
lake in the West. Well, We caught no
6A pound bass out of Monocacy last
summer, but we did have a whole lot
Of fun catching what we did.
Speaking of one having fun on Mo-
nocacy, will try to explain what l
mean. We tell it around here of the
fellow who baited with frog and as
he got no bite for quite a while, he
started to investigate and found that
the frog had climbed upon a rock in
the stream and was making goo-goo
eyes at him. Another fisherman no
ticed the fish jumping out of the water
near the bank and after wading over
to the spot saw the blackberry bushes
had been cleaned for about three feet
out of the water. He gathered some
berries and baited with them and came
home with nice string of bass. We

MILEAGE BOOKS RESTORED

Last Wednesday RAILROADS were or
dered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to resume the practice of
selling interchangeable mileage books
good for $500 miles of travel at reduc-
tions of 20 per cent from the regular
passenger rates
Sale of the books must begin March
Is, the Commission decided A num-
ber of small railroads were excluded
because of their financial inability to
meet the reduction. Practically all
of the class 1 roads, however, must
establish the reductions.
Re-establishment Of the mileage
book system, which was abandoned
during the war, resulted from pas
sage of a bill introduced by Senator
Watson, of Indiana, which directed
railroads to again issue interchangea-
BILE books, subject to determination by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
as to whether there should be a reduc-
ton in rates.
Commercial travellers and business
organizations were ESPECIALLY active
in urging that the mileage book priv
ilege be restored to persons required
to travel extensively in the transac-
ton of business.

PROTEST AGAINST CLEARING
ROADS

The prompt work of the State Roads
Commissions snow plows has raised a
storm of protest.
Farmers living in the vicinity Of
Frostburg who started out to drive
bob sleds to that city, only to find that
when they left the snow-covered cross
roads at the state highways they were
confronted by bare stretches of con-
crete, made their discomforts known
to John N. Mackall, chairman of the
State Roads Commission.
Some 800 of them protested against
the clearing of the snow from the
highways. They declared that it was
disconcerting to have their trip to
Frostburg terminate when only half
the distance was covered, because sleds
won't run on concrete.
Mr.. Mackall has instructed the dis
trict engineer at Cumberland to in
form the protestants that the cleaning
of the roads is necessary and will be
continued.

have cast nice big, minnow way out
into the middle of the stream and did
MT get tickle" and while "reeling
in" to make another try we have had
nice big fellow grab it right at our
feet. Often we have baited with min
now and found nothing doing. Then
we try crab and perhaps land one.
Another day they won't notice either
of those bats but just wallop fits out
of tadpole or angleworm.
So it goes from June 1st until De-
cember 1st.
One of our fishermen lost his min
now bucket in June and found it not
far away in September with some live
minnows in it. Several of us have
reached in our buckets for another
minnow and found we had left the lid
open and the minnows gone. One of
our "lodge" caught nice bass, put
him on the stringer, then threw bass,
stringer and all out into the stream.
I've tried to be truthful in this mar
rative and if I've missed any sport
just speak up.
The largest bass caught by any of
us last summer was lbs, IL OF. The
largest catfish was 10 lbs., 4oz.
Strings of fish brought to town ran:
% bass, 5 catfish; 81 black bass; 81
black bass, and lots of times we were
out of luck. But that is all in the
game.
At an early date I will try to de-
scribe the conditions as one can expect
to find them along our dear old Monoc-
acy most any day when the water is
in condition. y

Great strides have been made in the county along the line of better buildings and better equipment for the rural schools. In practically every school district the county over, there has been erected during the past IS months, large and well-designed schoolhouses, consisting of from two to five rooms, to meet the specifi - cations of the state department of ed ucation, and much better work Is be- ing done than at any time in the his tory of rural education in the county.
 Flint, six miles north of here, has just completed a $10,000 building Danville, nine miles west, has just completed a like building; Collins schoolhouse community Is proud of the one completed in that locality re- gently; Cedar Creek community is just now building one which will take care of the school interest at that point for years to come. In the larger towns of the county, propor tionate enlargement has been made over the rural schools as necessity demanded, and at the county seat. Decatur, two handsome buildings have just been completed, at a cost of approximately $500,000.
 Falkville, six miles to the south. will let the contract for a $20, 900 building, consisting of 10 rooms, on September 1b.
 A school, for negroes is being built here, the money coming from the Rosenwald fund, and supplemente1 l by state donations. to cost over $10,000.
