Other Tagged Fish Caught

At least another half dozen tagged
fish have been caught, but the ang-
lers have not yet turned them in to
the contest director. The rules of the
contest state that the tags may be
held until the closing date of the con-
test before the angler need claim the
prize. 1t will be remembered here
that last year in the 1914 contest one
angler who planned TO hold his tag
was unlucky enough to misplace the
metal band and was unable to claim
his prize. So the way to be sure of
the prize is to turn the tag in i'm
mediately.
