ROD AND STREAM

-HE rich mans fishing season Is
on in full swing in the South.
Any one who can spare the time

angling for the different species OF fish
to one of the many excellent fishing
grounds of the Florida coast or In the
Gulf and have the time of his or her
life angling for the different species OF
fish to be found IN those waters. The
angler can have his choice Of fishing IN
frash-water streams for the bass and
other fresh water fish, or he can ma
all the excitement he is looking Tor
in salt water, where he may hook a f1sh
that will take him all day to land.
Leesburgh, Fla, is one of the first
Southern places to send out informa-
ton concerning its second yearly ma
tional fresh-water bass contest. ms
tournament runs from January 10 to
March 10, 1929, according to the an
nOuncement of the sport division OF the
Chamber of Commerce Of Leesburgh'
which is sponsoring the contest. The
list of prizes and trophies to be award
ed include a much larger and more lib
eral collection than last year, having
increasingly greater value.
A grand award of six prizes will be
given in each of six classifications, max
ing a total of AZ trophies. The mer-
chandise that will be contested for by
participants is estimated to be worth
between 5000 and $500. Other prizes
include King folding boat camp cook
err, boxes of oranges. wigglers, nles,
cigarette case, rods and reels, lines, hip
boots, minnow buckets, hunting kni1e
and many other useful and handsome
prizes.
Bass grow big down in that section Of
the country and the Chamber Of Com
merce of Leesburgh will have pictures
taken of all bass Weighing more than
pounds and a print furnished free OF
charge to the person catching it.
Fish that weigh in excess of II pounds
will be mounted at the expense of the
Chamber of Commerce and forwarded
to the addresses Of the persons who
caught them.
Getting back to things local, the
time now is at hand to commence the
real fight for the enactment of legisla-
ton In Maryland to prevent the purse
neCterS from operating next year. All
anglers are requested to write letter
to their boatmen on the bay and also
to any members Of the State Legislature
they may know protesting against the
METERS. A solid front at this time,
when it Is expected there will be less
opposition than in former years, will
bring the desired result.
A report from A. M. Powell, superin-
tendent Of the fresh-water fish hatch
cries of Maryland, shows that this year
has been the best the conservation de-
partment ever has experienced in the
propagation Of game fish for the fresh
water streams Of that State, according
to Swepson Earle, State conservation
commissioner.
This condition, MFR. Earle asserts, is
due partly to funds raised from the
Statewide anglers license, which has
enabled the department to enlarge its

Mebbe! Marriage itself rs sacred

human life, but some of our ideals
concerning the same certainly
need a lot Of renovating.
Have you ever gone through n

you ever seen the pitiful drooling,

brought into the world because
the State was too considerate to

imbecile parents?
At present, in most of our
States, the simple minded and dis"

and spread their dreadful con-
tamination through countless gen.

an idiot, applied for a marriage
license. And the outraged author

her simple minded mother gave

SECRETS OF
HEALTH

a. A%VNAS 4zs 41AS~As
EVERYONE wants to be happy.
IA Everyone ought to be happy.
Every human being is entitled
to happiness.
But what shall be looked upon
as true happiness? This has
puzzled many people.
We think of a state of mind or
being which, 1t would seem, ought
to make an individual happy and
then Immediately we think Of
somebody just like that who
isn't happy at all.
The fact of the matter is that
different things make different
people happy Jewels and pretty
clothes make woman happy as a
rule, but even as to that there
are exceptions.
1t is generally believed that
wealth brings happiness.
Rather, those who are without
wealth think they would be happy
If they had plenty OF money. Yet
we all know Of persons who claim
that their unhappiness started
when the gold began to pour into
their Golfers, that before they
rested content with simple enjoy
ments. Wealth, with its new re-
sponsibilities, often creates anxiety
and fear.
A good job well done gives
happiness.
There really are few exceptions
to that.
To give happiness to others
yields happiness to oneself. At
least most people are constituted
that way.
Music can make people happy.
The right kind of music fo- the
mood Of the moment is often sure
fire. Works Of art of all kinds
will make people happy who know
how to appreciate the beautiful.
Books offer an unlimited supply
of happiness. Unfortunately the
average person does not read
books half enough.
Love, despite it's Uncertainties,
may produce exquisite happiness.
The same may be said of chill.
dren. They may be very trying
at times but, when all is said and
done, they can give us much COM
fort and joy.
great happiness.
All the examples-and there
are. Of course, many others-are
based more or less upon out.
ward influences. things in the
environment that react upon our
emotions.
There is a source OF happiness,
however, that really transcends
them all. 1t is the truest, because
it IL not dependent so much upon
outward influence. This is the
happiness which emanates from
within oneself.
1t is that complete adjustment
of body and mind. of physical and
mental well being, that we know
can be achieved.
Keep your conscience clear,
your body in good health and
your mind free from worry and
all sorts Of happiness viii bubble
out Of it.
You don't have to depend upon
your environment-where you
are, what you have and what
people do to you--for happiness.
There is plenty OF it which you
can automatically engender within
yourself.

Christian soul who never asks

A girl used to insist on finding
out all about a mans moral char
acter and his business prospects
before she married him; now all
she wants to know is the make

A woman may forgive a man for
