the favorite one of anglers of all
ages. The fish bite more readily in
early spring, June, and again In the
autumn. Great numbers are taken
In still-fishing. The bait used is
grasshoppers. worms or live min
nows. They are also caught with
an artificial fly or spoon, but the
most exciting method of catching
the calico Is said to be by trolling
The sight Of what appears to be q
fast-disappearing tidbit is too much
for the bass.
Fishing from fiat-bottomed skiffs
or sailboats, using minnows, small
pieces Of fish or worms for bait, is
the method approved by others.
Usually, these fishermen have two
lines with spoon bats or "whirl."
for by this method larger catches
are made.
Going fishing is one of the most
healthful ways of relaxing and for
getting your troubles. Many times,
the so-called unsolvable problem
will suddenly clear up when the
subconScious mind has a chance ia
work. Check on the nearby place.

wonderful 1t is to walk across the

"Oh. WELL" thought Chatterer, '1t
doesn't matter. I can get it and
hide it tomorrow morning."
Now = corncob IS a very simple
thing. Farmer Browns boy knew
where there, was . whole pile of
them. He added to that pile every
day after shelling enough corn for
the biddies. So 1t would seem that
there was nothing about a corncob
to make him open his eyes as he did
that morning when he saw the one
left by Chatterer the Red Squirrel.
But you see he knew that q bare
corncob had no business inside the
corncrib, and suddenly those scat
tered grains of corn had . new
meaning for him.
"Ha, hal" he exclaimed, "a thief
has been here, after all! I thought
we were safe from rats and mice
and don't see now how one got in,
for don't, / really don't, see how
he could climb the stone legs of the
corncrib. But some one with sharp
teeth certainly has been in here.
It must be that I have left the
door open some time and . rat has
slipped in. I'll just have to get after
you Mr.. Rat or Mr.. Mouse! We
can't have you In our corncrib."
With that he went into the house
Presently he came back, and In one

are valued as food. The larger the

AL are carnivorous, gamey and vo-

and defend their nests with determ-

Most of the calicos caught are less
than IL inches long and weigh about

have been caught that reached q
length of IA inches and weighed

As these fish are wide rangers,
they have acquired several names

SOLVING OUR OWN PR OBLEMs

Just a tip to the good women Of
the Negro race. 1t is very neces-
sary that the feminine side help
to preserve and protect their eco
nomic status. It is very necessary
that all must be willing to work.
There is no need Of our good wom-
en- listening to outside influences
and agtitators who would love to
see your economic status even low
er than it is now. 1t is unjust for
you to discredit the good south
er1 white woman by refusing to go
into their homes and rendering
service as you have in the past
Please bear in mind, simply be-
cause America is in war, easy mon
ey will not be very handy in the
near future due to the fact that
Mr.. Tax Payer will eventually,
through his power eliminate this
source of income.
Further the good southern
white women love the good south
ern Negro women and they both
know each other. So. I, a south
-s
ern Negro, speaking to southern
Negro women and white women,
would offer this advice. 1t is clear
ly understood that in order to
maintain a peaceful relationship be-
tween both groups. which has ex-
listed for Is years in the past, we
all must, cooperate to better our
own conditions.
If we recall ten years ago, the
economic status of the Negro race
was at its lowest ebb. And if it had
not been for the good southern
white women, permitting the good
Negro women to enter their homes
when the Negro man could not get
a job anywhere, there certainly
would have been a famine in our
race. Are you going to let outside

was the first Negro in Kinds coun-

Bond; since then he has purchased
several $4,000 bonds. 1t looks like
to me that this fellow American
has been living for education, vic
tory and freedom.
