TO shame. If it were not for the
bones, the carp might be called the
perfect fish, for it is a real fighter
and must be handled with extreme
skill because Of its soft, tender mouth,
devoid Of bone
Best bait for carp IS doughbaIls
sneaked from grandma's bread mix
ture husbands or younger women
have to mix up their own dough- An
amount of cotton or cornmeal adds
strength to the mixture and keeps it
from coming OF the hook A three
way hook is best for it holds the
dough better
Cast the bait, sans float, into a
shady hole, and park yourself on the
bank with a nice comfortable spot TO
rest upon and good book or maya
zine for company-and wait.
Maybe you viii be waiting the same
time next day if you are uneducated
in the ways of river fishing IN the
middlewest and don't know enough to

Of these days when the fish bite. IF
that is the case then you're lucky, and
if you get 10 or Is pound carp and
land it you'll be hero and get your
name IN the paper. Carp up to 25
pounds are occasionally caught.
While there are many ways to cook
the fish. one Of the most common is
to grind meat and bones together into
a fine mixture, and season and bake in
the oven. Then all seems as meat,
and there is no bone picking to be
done.
The annual report of the state fish
commission for the year 1882, Surher
says. comments as follows:
In the middle Of January, 1882
Supt. Watkins started for Washing
ton to secure some of the much coveted
German carp He returned, bring
ing with him SO large enough for
breeders and 100 small ones. He was
fortunate enough TO lose but three
small ones"
In March. the report continues
900 young fry were received One
hundred were placed into a large
tank i. and the balance in our large
carp pond. Eight were placed IN g
natural pond. whose locality and
name We think as a safe precautior
better not designate lest the carp be
| stolen"
And that is how people felt about
carp in the early days. Like many
things that are extremely plentiful
the carp has lost its attractiveness. I

Statistics (Which Don't
Count ShOlU Ely Had
Three Games.

The 1871 record book shows that the
Ely junior college football team did
not win a game, and scored but Il
points 70 86 for opponents, but the
statistics indicate that the relative diff
ference in team strength was not very
great.
In fact in the first three games if
the winner had been decided upon
statistics alone, Ely would have come
out on top.
II wasn't until the last two that the
club dropped behind in first downs
and yardage.
In the opener at Hibbing Ely en-
maSsed the amazing total of II first
downs, nearly one-third the seasons
total, gained 245 yards from rushing.
and had a net Of DAT. In comparison
the Cardinals had 10 first downs. 15S
yards rushing, and 242 yards net. The
only thing that kept Hibbing in the
ball game Vas passing, where they
outgained the Iron Men, 146 yards 70

On paper this game was easily Ely's,
and the next one with Virginia should
have been no less than tie, although
Ely had a slight edge. First downs
were 81 in favor Of Ely and yards

Next came ItaSca, and a game that

The Ely club had an edge on first
downs, I1-9. and on net yardage. 2l7-
200, and came near piling up enough

The introduction Of carp into Min
nesota IS outlined IN an interesting
manner by T. Surber, technical ad-
visor 70 the fish and game department,
writing IN the November issue Of the
Conservation Volunteer.
No fish has been more universally
cursed by sportSmsn and anglers than
probability it is one Of the most Valu-
able food fish due to the fact that
Il lends itself to a wider range of
manipulations by expert cooks than
any other fish known"
That, and its rate of productivity
which also must set some kind Of q
record. is the reason why If was intro
duced not only into Minnesota but
into many midwestern states.
Fifty or so years ago, many news
papers and magazines, even small
weekIies, carried advertisements on
carp farming, as it was called. The
fish were imported from Germany.
TilIers Of the soil were told in
glowing terms how they could turn
the pond in the south forty into a
virtual gold mine and forget all about
the harder Gbut somewhat more
practiCaD way Of making ends meet
by farming ground.
How many farmers took TO carp
farming is q matter Of guess work.
but anyway the children Of their
brood stocks now inhsbit every square
yard Of water in the middlewest, with
exception Of perhaps such large
streams as the Mississippi and Mis-
souri,.
There is only one great water area
that is free from this fish and that
IS the lakes of the Minnesota Arrow
head and Northern Minnesota.

What happened, il is told, is that

were asSimilated by neighboring rivers

Labor Department Official Praises Statement by
 Assistant Secretary

SEATTLE, Sept. 30-The Navy told the American Federation of Labcr Metal Trades Department Convention today that there is a serious discrepancy between the de- partment's announced policy of no work stoppages during the national emergency and the actual condition prevailing in strikes.
 Assistant Secretary Dan Tracy of the Department of Labor told the convention that the time has come for labor to rise up and give its all to the government. If more men were fighting Hitler and, less fight ing Roosevelt our defense produc- tion program would be greater"
 Tracy hailed the Navy statement as frank and bold" It was written especially for the convention by Ralph Read, assistant secretary of the Navy. Read to the convention by Lieut. Comdr. George Keller, the statement bluntly questioned the ability of the Metal Trades Unions to control their memberships.
 The criticism was voiced just be- fore the convention recessed to dis cuss a threatened walkout of weld CTS here and in Tacoma Monday to enforce demands not against their employers but against the AFL Metal Trades Department The convention later voted to oppose the welders' efforts. to become a separate international union.

LONDON, Sept 30.--The British Admiralty said today that an aerial torpedo which hit the British bat tleship Nelson with the loss of a fighter plane crew and the sinking of a motor vessel constituted the only cost of moving an important convey through the Central Medi- terranean under a weekend running attack by Italian planes.

 Believes Loot Hidden
 The deputies said they believed he has much other loot hidden in the neighborhood.
 If he had ever taken to the woods, I don't think we could have caught him" Thompson declared.
 O'Brien admitted that two weeks ago he took a 22 rifle and hunting knife from the Alvin Larson cabin. He said that later Larson took the knife away from him, gave him a beating and made him bring the rifle back.
 With no parents living here, O'Brien came from the Westward to Juneau some time ago. His record of arrests, one file at the Marshals office, shows the following:
 April l, 1940--he entered the A. N. Lenhart home on the Loop Road and took a bicycle and groceries. He admitted this theft and also the theft of binoculars, gun, cigars, cig- arettes and compass from several Barnacle Gables homes.
 June 2, this year-he took $75 skiff from the Frank Mallard home and bedding from the George Skin- her home and went to Portland Island. He also admitted these thefts.
 More recently, on September 19, Skinner reported that O'Brien had broken in to his summer home and was living in an upstairs bunk, making a mess of the house.

Her Mrs. Carter richly measures up to all the glorious legend that surrounds the most glanorous star of the gay nineties.
 It was David Belasco, snowman extraordinary, to whom Mrs. Carter owed great deal of her fame, and due tribute is given him in the screen story He is masterfully portrayed by the versatile Claude Rains.
 Besides Miss Hopkins and Rains, the very able cast includes Richard Ainley. Laura Hope Crews as Mrs. Carter's m ot her. Mona Barrie, Helen Westley, Helen Mallard, John Hamilton, Fritz Leiber and many more.
