Let's Go Fishing
USED
IN BLUE RIVER,
DENNY LEARNS
Episode Throws Light on
Why Some Streams
Lack Fish.
BY GEORGE II. DENNY
Times Fishing Editor.

A trip to Blue river last Sunday
enlightened me somewhat as to why
the fishing is not good in parts Of
the state.
I've heard rumors that seiners
and dynamiters had been taking toll
of the Blue. and on Sunday I ran
into some indirect results.
We parked our car a few hundred
yards from the river and we're about
to take of through the field toward
the stream when a farmer drove I'D
and ordered us away in no kind
tones.
He would listen to no sort of rea-
son. He was mad and showed it.
We drove on to the next house and
asked if We could park there and
fish.
A nice old lady regretted that we
couldn't and mentioned something
about a law suit that had cost some
one IN the vicinity some money.
We drove back to the little town
and asked what was wrong. We
were told that the man that had
ordered us out had recently been
convicted for dynamiting fish and
as a consequence was soured on
the angling world and would allow
no one on his land.
Our informant limited that senti-
ment in the vicinity favored the
convicted man and farmers had
agreed to keep the city anglers out.
That was their privilege, of course.
and we sought other waters. In
many cases the farmer has a sound
reason TO frown on the Sunday
hordes that descend on him and cut
his trees for f1rewood and break
down his fences and leave open his
gates
But on the other hand. when a
man is low enough to dynamite fish
and looks on it as violation of his
privileges when he is caught and
1lned' and when neighborhood ser
tlment is with him. it shows how
much We need an educational cam
paign in sports ethics.
The solution lies in the formation
OF Sportsmen's clubs that will first
teach its members to respect the
farmers rights and second. work
with the conservation department
Due to the closed season there
Will be no more stream condition
reports until Friday, June is, the
Gay before the opening.
That doesn't mean that there
won't be any more fishing until
that time. I long have had a han
kerlng to try for the big catfish of
the southern sections of White
rlver-the thirty and forty pound
ers.
My idea is to line up with some
one that knows the water and make
a night of it. I'm told that half
a dozen chalked lines rugged with
large hooks, baited with some
mighty chunk of very dead meat
and tossed into a deep eddy have
been known to furnish pleasant
port.

PUSH FORMATION
OF CREDIT UNIONS
Federal Officials Confident
Thousands to Escape
"Loan Sharks"
BY CHAS. p. SCHAEFFER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

The administration is confident
that within 80 days thousands OF
persons will be enabled to avoid the
clutches of loan sharks"
oficials Of the Farm Credit 4Ad-
ministration are hard at work draw
ing I'D regulations to set In motion
the Federal credit union act passed
by Congress in the closing days OF
the recent session.
I'VE hope to begin passing on ap-
plications for charters by August J.,
Herbert Emmerich, who Is handling
the preliminary plans, said today.
Scores of requests for information
already have been received.
Emmerich and other farm admins
tration officials are holding frequent
conferences with authorities in the
credit union field preparatory to
actual operation.
Under the plan, intended to make
credit available to people of small
means, a group OF seven or more
persons may combine in union by
purchasing one or more shares at SIS
each. The union also may borrow
money and discount eligible paper
with Federal intermediate Credit
Banks.
Loans will be made to members
for up to two years at interest not
exceeding per cent per month on
unpaid balances. No loan in excess
of $50 may be made without adequate
security, which may be an endorse
ment, and no loan may be made In
excess of 5000, or 10 per cent of the
paid-in and unimpaired capital and
surplus of the union, whichever Is
the greater.
Oficials pointed out that in many
cases the interest rate on small loans
was much more than this and re-
suited in considerable hardship.
Off1cials said that 10 States had no
credit union laws-Maine, Vermont.
Connecticut, Delaware, North Dakota,
South Dakota. wyoming, Nevada,
New Mexico and Idaho. Some others
have laws which are considered un-
satisfactory.
The Federal law is intended pri-
marily to aid persons where there is
no similar State law. but 1t Is avail
able to the population of every State.

STOCKS ARE FIRM
DESPITE DULLNESS
Gains OF Fractions 10 Two
or More Points Kept
at Days Close.
BY VICTOR EUBANKS,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK. July ls.--Although
the trading volume today dropped
substantially under that Of yesterday.
stocks generally pointed upward for
gains OF fractions 10 or more points.
A more hopeful view OF the Pacific
Coast strike situation aided senti-
ment. The close was firm. Transfers
approximated only 100000 shares.
While most of the board rooms
we're virtually deserted, so far as
customers we're concerned, brokers re-
ported that scattered bids for various
equities encountered a relative scare
ity that pushed up prices on small
transactions Several new highs for
the year or longer we're recorded
and number OF the recently de-
pressed stocks displayed signs OF
recovery.
Equities we're still In retirement,
however, when compared with COM
modities. although the latter quieted
down considerably under profit taxi
ing Wheat and corn reached new
peaks for the season with advances
of cent or more a bushel before
relaxing. Cotton attained another
four-year top. but yielded some Of
its gains In the afternoon. Rubber
and silver futures we're higher. Bonds
