The man had once been a student

In skool today Miss Kitty was tx
planning about the werd unself1shnlsS,

crate virtues Of the werld, if a person
Is unselfish it really means that they
take more intrist in others than they
do in themselves and I am sure each

than is necessary, and I don't see why
any should be necessary.
Me thinking, G, maybe if 1 make up
some trubbleS of my own, maybe her
unselfshniss will help her to forget
her he'd axe.
And I sed, Well G, ma, your he'd axe

How did that happen, it sounds per-

Buying At Home
(Copyright. 1929
Abe Martin Saws:

I always buy my goods at home, my
corkscrew and my fine-tooth comb, my
hats and overshoes, the things I wish
to eat and drink, my writing paper and
my ink, and pastes and liquid CLUES.
And If a thing I buy proves bad, the
man who sold it's in the grad, where
can call him down; I call upon him
at his store, and there rant and rear
and roar, and roast him good and
brown. 1t is a heavenly relief to have
a chance to Scold and beef when one
is feeling mean; the local merchant
doesn't mind; it is his business to be
kind and patient and serene. He lis
tens with genial smile until I have
worked off my bile, then candidly ex-
plains: "A bonehead clerk got orders
mixed, and I will see the blunder's
fiXed-I wish no lawless gains. I hope
to run this moral store for years to
come, and then some more, and that
cannot be done unless 1 treat my
patrons white, and give them, every
day and night, full value for their mon
I'm glad when people come along and
tell me where I'm in the wrong, and
call me smoking names: like to hear
them rant and roar, and chew the rag
and paw the floor, and bust their
blooming hames" He hands me then
good cheroot and tells me I'm Draw
galoot a credit to my sex: the air is
cleared up by the squall, we're friends
and we proceed to fall upon each
others necks. But if I send my coin
abroad, and buy some goods which are
a fraud, there's no one I can cuSs; I
cannot call upon the skate who beat
me by hundredWeight, and raise a
bitter fuss. Perhaps / jump on him
by mail and may in time get back my
kale. but that gives small relief; when
some marauder grinds my face want
to meet him in a place where I may

make UP for lost time. But when Jerry
starts in he is much like Paddy the
Beaver. whom he sometimes calls his
big cousin" although really he isn't
his cousin at all. You know, Paddy
is famous for the way he works.
Jerry had chosen the place for his
new house with great care. There were
some splendid strong bulrushes grow
ing in the water and the water was
about two feet deep. Right in among
these rushes was Just the place for the
foundations of his house. At first, be-
cause he was so late in building, he
had planned only small house. But
as he worked and found material close
at hand he decided to have big house.
I'll have the biggest house I've ever
had" said he, talking to himself. III

big enough so that 1 can have company

hit when she sees this house she'll
change her mind"
So Jerry began dragging to the place
he had chosen lot OF ola oeao IuSlleS
and grass and bits of sod and mud
and roots. He had dug a lot OF TINS
stuff out of the bottom OF the SHINING
Pool for some little distance around tne
place where the house was to be-. Az
first he Just piled it up. BY ana by
he had piled it so high that II PECAN
to appear above the surface of the
water. He was building little island
there. The island grew bigger and pig
ger. It wouldn't have been so big had
the material not been SO handy. Inc
part under water was very largely mud,
with Just enough of vegetation to hold
it together In digging up this mud ne
made the water deeper right around the
little island. He did this purposely.
There is nothing like plenty OF
water when you want to SWIM SAID
Jerry, when Mrs. Jerry asked him why
he was making the foundation OF his
house so big. This mud is easy 10
dig and when the Smiling Pool freezes
and the ice gets thick we'll never have
to worry for fear the water Will freeze
clear to the bottom. 1t may do that
where the water is less deep, but 1t
won't do it here"
At last Jerry had good-sized island.
At least that is what it looked like.
When he wanted to rest he would climb
I'D on it and just sit there. 1t was a
splendid place to sit. He became so
fond of it that he would bring his
meals over there to eat. Now that the
little island was above water he didn't
use so much mud. He cut ruSheS and
brought grass and sometimes small
sticks. He still used a little mud, but
the mud was not so easy to get now.
The ruSheS and other material were
much easier to get.
Now" said he, II must have good
tunnel. A house is no good if it does
not have a good tunnel. A tunnel is
as important as any part Of the house"
So Jerry dug a channel from the
deeper water of the Smiling Pool over
to the mud base of his house and a
tunnel up through this, which opened
into what would by and by be very
good-sized room. He took great pains
with this tunnel. When it was COM
pleted to suit him he went on heaping
up rushes and sticks and other material
on that little island. 1t kept settling.
Then Jerry would cut out from under
meath so as to make little room where
the tunnel entered.
YES" said Jerry, this is going to
be the finest house I ever have built"

effect of commercialism. leadership and
legislation, an immediate remedy and
choice of policies.
May Get National Support.
In concluding his statement, Hamper
said, "Once again let me say that the
black bass and those who are fighting
for his preservation are not without
hope. The President-elect is, and has
president of the Izaak Walton League.
He originated the idea of black bass
cultivation in small areas of water and
many Hoover bass ponds have been
created. We count upon Mr.. Hoover'S
support insofar as national pOl.IJ of
bass preservation is concerned. We
look with equally strong hopes to the
State of Maryland, TO the Hon. SWep-
son Earle, its able commissioner of con-
servation, and to the Maryland Legs
lature. We shall not rest; we shall
not be satisfied until the eXtermina-
ticn of the black bass in the States Of
Maryland and Pennsylvania is ended"
Deputy Commissioner Radcliff of the
United States Bureau of Fisheries
pointed out that statistics compiled by
his bureau show that while there has
been material decrease in the number
O1 SIidQ anu IlSIi1IlS, IllF ICpOlt dioO
showed that there had been an increase
in rockflsh and other game bay fish
He said that the purse meters got about
10 cents pound for their fish, but
that the rod-and-reel anglers were pay
ing in the neighborhood of So a pound
and strongly Endorsed the movement TO
abolish netting.
Leach Endorses Move.
Glen c. Leach, chief of the division
of fish culture, said that the bureau
was ready to place thousands of bass
In the Potomac River, but did not want
to see them caught by the illegal seine
METERS, and strongly Endorsed the black
bass bill proposed at the meeting.
Judge William A. Snow of Alexandria,
Va, spoke at some length of his own
experiences on Chesapeake Bay and
the scarcity of fish. He said that he
could do nothing to aid in the move
ment with his official poSition-beSideS
being judge he is a member of the
Bureau of Game and Inland Fisheries
of the State of Virginia-but that as
a follower of Izaak Walton he stood
ready and willing to do anything in
his power to push to successful con-
clusion the plans outlined at the
meeting.
It was very gratifying to those in
charge of the meeting to see SO many
anglers present and SO much en-
thusiasm manifested. The committee
of five to be appointed to cooperate
with the Maryland authorities will be
named just as soon as the best men
to serve can be selected.

defeat by an 8-to-0 score.
Southern threatened the locals goal
line time and again, uncorking pass
after pass in a gallant but hopeless
attempt to score.
The Richmond champions clinched
the game in the second period, when
Plunkett, halfback, raced off tackle 40
yards behind beautiful interference to
deposit the oval across the Southern
goal.
During the closing minutes. Clark,
Southern halfback, missed the pass
from center while standing on his own
5-yard line and, racing to scoop up the
Digskin and evade his opponents, was
thrown TO earth for safety.
