To most fishermen the bass season
opened on Thursday, May 20, but to
four young men in Redwood Falls
the season opens, oh, some time
later. Just when, none of the quartet
seems to know. Well anyway, these
four men were fishing bright and
early Thursday morning. just going
to get few crappies, as the season
opened for this species.
While fishing for crappies two or
three small black bass were hooked
and the hearts of true sportsmen
were generous. They put the bass
back in the lake, because wasn't the
season thought to have been closed
on bass? Certainly!
A short time later, while still fish
ing for the crappieS another bass was
hooked. This time it was slightly
different story. The bass was larger,
quite large, in fact, about two or
three pounds. He was a -beaut, put
up q good fight and was finally land
ed. Understand, so far as the four

fishermen were concerned, the sea-
son-well you know.
When cooked Thursday noon, this
same bass was not just mere fish, it
was delicacy, and was really en-
joyed; this being due to the prepara-
ton it received before being cooked.
Here is the remedy. No matter if
you see some one coming whom you
think may be the game warden, al
ways bury your bass in the river
bank. Makes is so much more de-
licious. Keep it buried until your
fishing is over, then dig it up and
carefully pack it in your fish box.
By no means put it on the fish string,
takes away the flavor, and the sea-
son-well, of course.
Well, to make long story fish

case there are fishermen who-would
care to take bass or two. Get the
lowdown on the proposition. Inquire

Pantorium Moves to

Repair Shop Takes Over New
Hardy Building on Mill
Street

The Pantorium cleaning establish
ment, under the management of Jim
Murdoch, has relocated on Mill street
in one of the recently constructed
Hardy buildings where it's cleaning
and pressing business will be con-
tinued. Mr.. Murdoch has added con-
siderable new equipment to his bust
ness and now has a thoroughly
modern plant in operation.
The cleaning plant, apart from the
main office has recently had Glover
cleaner added to it. This type of
cleaner forces a large stream of
naptha through the fabric for ten
minutes after which the clothing is
given a fifteen minute "soap" run.
Following this a continuous flow of
pure white gasoline is flushed
through the clothing to completely
remove all possible remaining soap
or dirt. A twenty inch curb extract
or is employed to remove the surplus
gasoline.
The drying rooms in the basement
of the office and shop have an air
dryer for the purpose of thoroughly
deodorizing all material cleaned.
Pressing machines of the latest type
are used for pressing clothes. The
regular delivery service will be main
tanned as previously.
