A 12-pound northern pike and a

The larger fish was hooked with
the baited hook and the six-pounder
was strung on the line ahead of the
other, the line passing in his mouth
and out one of his gills.
Apparently the pike had been
mouthing the minnow when the big
fellow made rush at him and he
darted away so. quickly that the
minnow and the hook simply went
out Of his mouth by the side door:
His gill. The larger fish then,
apparently, seized the minnow and
was hooked. He had literally chased
the other fish up the line"

who delays as long as possible and
heaves to right end at (a). The
zone is cleared for the right end by
his left end going down and out to
draw their right half after him;
while their safety man is decoyed
to stay where he is by the quarter
going down the middle fast. The
right half is still another decoy who
engages the attention of the oppos-

Notice that the left half and the
guard block opposing end and tackle

should shoot down field to cut down
the safety man if E gets the pass,
which may easily be for so yards.

Well, we padded along the shore
and my companions made many casts,
but the fish were not biting. Then
without warning, just as the man in
the bow was lifting his lure from
the water in preparation for the next
cast. large northern pike made a
rush at it, missed it, and then,
apparently unable to turn in time to
avoid the canoe, shot into the air,
cleared the gunwale cieanly, and
landed squarely across my knees. 1t

A friend of mine last Summer told
me a story which I know was true
and which I think is worth passing
on. He was still-fishing for pike,
using a minnow as bait. The wall
eyed pike is a slow bitter, and when
my friend felt a gentle tugging at
his line he made no move, waiting for
the pike to take a good hold, so he
could hook him.

THE FAVORABLE BALANCE

1t develops that the United States has had much
larger favorable balance of trade the past year than
the before In the fiscal year of 19221923 that
balance, excess of exports reached the compara-
lively low figure of S175e00,000 whereas during the
and Immediately afterward it had amounted to
billions year In the fiscal year of 1923-1924 it rose
to $754,000000, gain of more than 800 per cent.
The United States sold more abroad, and bought
less. Yet while importing much less goods the coun-
try gained S460,0000 600 gold.
1t is gratifying situation, at least to exporters
and to citizens whose economic thinking is along old
fashioned lines But thoughtful Americans are be-
coming less than they used to be that trade bal
up it means that the rest of the world us more
and more money. The debtor nations try to pay in
gold and from present indications, we may have
all the monetary gold there is.
What then? How can the rest of the world
pay us what it owes already, in trade debts and war
debts, unless the tide turns and it sends goods
than it buys from u.s. else discovers gold mines?
That is the unanswerable question of present day
economics

CATCHING UP WITH SCIENCE

A western preacher recently voiced his fear that
science and invention too far in advance of mans
progress and therefore worked against his peace of
mind and life by obscuring truth. He seemed to think
they should be held back until mans spiritual and
moral development had caught up with them.
A widely known social psychologist recently stat
the thing about the advance of science and in
vention but his conclusion different. Instead of
fearing scientific progress he simply pointed out that
increased effort needed to bring mans social de-
velopment up abreast of his material development
Scientific discoveries have come thick and fast,
with new marves pushing at the heels of other new
marves. Yet the wise person would not wish to give
up any of them. Civilization is little dizzy from its
rapid progress along material lines, but it will
doubtedly catch its BREATH regain its poise learn to
use the wealth of leisure that science is offering It,
learn to for its social and spiritual welfare the
tools that science has placed IN It's hands and then go
forward with science.
The swift advance of science is not defeat of
spiritual development Instead 1t is challenge to the
best that is in US to come on into the game.

RAH-RAHyNG THE PRINCE

The Prince of Wales was surprised at the greet
ing given him by 1000 American delegates at the in
ternational advertising convention in London. When
he appeared to make formal speech of welcome, the
Americans acted as if they political convention
nominating the Prince for President. They cheered
and yelled in the good old American fashion, roaring
their slogans stampeding the platform and continuing
their ovation for 10 minutes
The poor Prince was almost overcome When he
tried to speak, they kept right cheering him. Fin
ally he threw away his written speech and made
tenporaneous little talk, and then the bunch broke
into another Marathon cheer.
oh, WELL the Prince should understand that it's
lust our little way and he shouldn't expect much sill
ence in American advertising American sport-or
perhaps anything else American. Nevertheless, the
startled and shrinking look that Princes face might
have suggested to American publicity man that
silence sometimes has its merits.
This is true even in advertising. The best ads

for they have taken little cogniz-

Aguillar is considered a sort of a
