Rivermen say the water is fast
clearing and. provided we have no
more heavy rains, should be in good
condition for fishing for the coming
week. 1t is an old story-the muddy
condition of the Potomac in the
spring Of the year-and is just as
tiresome to write about as to read,
but facts are stubborn things and
must be stated. Week before last the
river was in fine shape for the
Sunday started the mud coming down
again, so that by the middle of the
week IL was chocolate in color.
Thursday 1t commenced to clear; Fri
day 1t was in much better condition,
and yesterday gave promise that this
week would be an active one for the
Waltonites
Inadvertently this column several
weeks ago said that the length of
tanned should measure five inches.
This was an error. Black bass should
be nine inches in length.
The Virginia law passed several
years ago reducing the fishing fee
for non-residents from IS to $3.50
provided that license must be OBJ
tanned to fish in any streams. This
law has been amended so that now
no license is required to fish in any
>.
For example, before the law was
amended it was necessary to have a
license to fish in Occoquan Creek
from the mouth Of the creek to the
village OF Occoquan. Now no license
is required to fish in this stream, be-
cause the water rises and falls. owing
to the tides. A greau many local
anglers have not been sure as to this
question and have asked that it be
stated in this column.
The Virginia law also states that
not over fifteen small or big mouth
one day, and that all kinds of trout
rain bow, mountain or brook trout
cannot exceed thirty-five in any one
day. The bass allowed to be taken
must measure nine inches, and east
of the mountains eight inches in
length. The trout must measure five
inches in length.
Last Sunday at Rock Point every
boat available was out with fishing
parties, but from the constant NOV
ing of them all it would seem that
the fish were either not hungry or
had taken day OF for a trip to
some other parts. The water of
both the Potomac and Wicomico
rivers was bit cloudy, which may
have been the cause of their not
biting. The hardheads are there,
however, and as soon as the water
clears they will commence to bite
and make up for lost time.
Other salt water places report that
some days big catches have been
made and that the next day very few
are caught. Perhaps they, like some
Of the other fish, advance and fall
back with the tide. They are funny
creatures, at best, and it Is pretty
hard to definitely tell just what may
be expected of them.
aFats. Harding, well known angler
and an employe Of the press room,
Evening Star, reports that he was
one of a party that caught sixty
eight hardheads last Thursday at
Benedict. He said they were biting
fast and furious. Another party fish
ing at the same place said they had
very poor luck, so there you are.

We had halved the first hole Of our
match, and following our tee-shots
on the second-both Of which were
straightaway and of good distance
everything pointed to tough
struggle for the honor of getting into
the final. Then something happened
that gave the contest an entirely diff
ferent aspect %>
The second hole at Brookland is
about 320 yards long. My drive was
a 220-yard one and Bobby's about
five yards longer. This gave me first
play for the green. By great good
luck my mashie niblick shot for the
remaining 100 yards holed out for 2.
To halve the hole it was necessary
for Bobby to sink ninety-fye-yard
shot, but it is proof of his courage
and of the serious intensity of his
game that he was not in the least
feased. Using all the skill at his
command, he also tried for 2.
In all my life ] never have seen
such a shot. The ball few straight

it and took a dead roll toward the

TAX EXEMPT DOLLARS

Since it has become possible to pub
lish income tax returns, there is one
phase that has not been given much
attention. For several years it was
dinned into our ears that to relieve
capital from an excessive burden, it
was necessary to have tax-exempt
securities. The laws were passed in
such a way that if one started the
erection of monkey house, under
proper state safeguards, the money
put into that monkey house would be
listed as non-taxable. Thus, today,
we have billions of dollars invested
in non-taxable securities, while the
workingman, if he purchases a piano
box in which to house his wife and
children, cannot take advantage of the
non-assess features of the law
Senator Cousinns, a millionaire
many times over, pays $4,000 per
year income tax. Why? Simply be-
cause he has invested his money in
taxable securities and thereby
has assisted many others in preserv-
ing the credit of villages, cities, states
and the national government.
Some day some damphool will rare
up his hind legs and ask the ques-
ton: Since when is it necessary to
exempt the dollars Of those who have
them and tax the man who creates
those dollars?
And this is the way our so-called
brainy statesmen draw salaries, and
his is the way millions of damphools
vote, just because they are told that
20 get the dollar interested in mon

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

These are busy days for the Christ
mas shoppers. But there is one thing
about it that is to be regretted, and
that is, that there are too many of
the local shoppers who are busy do
ing their shopping outside of Hamil-
ton. Too many doing their shopping
in Cincinnati and through the big
mail order houses. And there is no
excuse for this other than that some
take pride in buying elsewhere than
in Hamilton, thereby boosting other
cities when they ought to be helping
the old town along. Hamilton has
some mighty fine stores, stocked to
the ceiling with the finest of goods
of every description and need. Hamil-
ton merchants are big tax payers and
deserving of the home trade.
There should be more satisfaction
in buying here at home, for if any
article isn't as it should be the loca
merchant is always ready to more
than make good, and this can't always
be said of some of the merchants IN
other places.
Be loyal to the old town, to the
Hamilton merchants, who can always
be looked to when the town is in need
boost the town by making all pur-
chases possible in it: BUY AT
HOME.
