It’s toasted
And then knowing what kind of Sunday’s Wichita Eagle earned a
bait to use is half the battle We big story about the sewer system of
had always fished for chnanel cats
the same as fo rbass with a live
minnow Mr Adams insisted on
catching the minnows out of Pond
Creek the day before and then
spreading them out on the -sand for
a half a day or so — the exact length
of time being determined by the
fact that one’s olfactory organs rang
the danger signal when you were yet
ten or twelve feet distant and ap-
proaching the bait down wind Why
bait in such condition is better than
a nice live minnow or one that has
passed to its reward within a reason-
able length of time was not explain-
ed by our Waltonian instructor How-
ever there is no accounting for
tastes
Another thing we learned is that
the majority of people do not know
how to cook fish We say this ad-
Mmneapolis being a roaring furnace
the fire spreading to buildings and
destroying many of them before it
was controlled Either the Eagle
has some new talent or Dave Leahy
has quit the Beacon and gone back to
his first love
print such a squib as the above when
we had put the limit as low as we
thought two days’ fishing would jus
rify almost causes us to resolve to
advertise our tackle box and outfit
for sale to the lowest bidder But
then Harris plays golf and his
friends have probably been telling
him how many strokes it took to win
the game

about which town has the biggest

program at the state convention of neighboring posts have called for his

His address will be “The Soul of Citizenship”
services His pleasing manner and
excellent diction make him a popu-
lar speaker and his friends predict
for him a successful career on the
lecture platform It will be not at
all surprising to learn that he has
been chosen to carry the message of
Oklahoma’s Americanism to the na-

Chickasha the other day We have

a short time on their way home from

this noted stream that we have ever
visited It was at Rock Falls three
miles south of Hunnewell Kans

office was established on the high

plied that that was pretty good luck

conditions However we are not go-
ing to be so unethical as to doubt any
statement he may make as to his ex-
periences while at Rock Falls
For about a mile above the falls
the river is only from a foot tp two
feet in depth and seems to be literally
alive with fish and soft shelled tur-
tles We fished only for channel
cats and having an expert fisherman
with us who freely gave of his abun-
dant knowledge of the ways and hab-
its of the finny tribe our success was
all that could be desired For in-
stance we learned the thrill of fish-
ing without a bobber of allowing the
minnow to sink to the bottom of the
channel giving the line a quick jerk

The proposition of Herbert Hoover
to render material assistance to the’
mi’lions of starving women and chil-1
dren in Russia in consideration of!
that country releasing imprisoned
American citizens tinges somewhat
on the offer of a fond parent to give
a child candy if it will behave This
government could demand the re-
lease of Americans who are held pris-
oners by the Reds and we would
probably be laughed at for our pains
for we could not enforce our demands
by severing diplomatic and commer-
cial! relations as Russia has no stable
government And as the people of
this country would not countenance
an armed invasion for the freeing of
a few hnudred Americans it looks
to us as though Hoover’s move is the
acme of diplomacy

“MADE-RITE FLOUR”
Its name and fame rest on its merits
It Is milled from the best wheat grown
Only a small portion — the very cream of
the wheat bevy — is used which results in a
Short Tatent Flour that will satisfy
Made-Rite flour is economical Il ren-
ders bakings certain There are no such
things as failures when you use Made-Rite
Remember we are giving the housewives
of this vicinity every possible advantage in
the matter of price We are able to do this
as we do not have any freight to pay If
you are not yet using Made-Rite flour —
buy a sack at our risk and see what de-

THE
U S NOBBY TREAD
Where the going is specially heavy
with snow mud or sand in hilly
country where maximum traction on
the road is a factor no other tire tread
yet devised is quite so effective or so
wholly approved by motoring opin-
ion as the U S Nobby T read
Its very simplicity— three rows of
diagonal knobs gripping the road—
is the result of all the years of U S
Rubber experience with every type
of road the world over
failed to e&psrfaiice

kTOP and talk to the next man
you see with U S Tires on
his car Ask him why'
-Most likely you'll hear an inter-
esting story about his tire experi-
ments — before the answer was
found Money wasted Promises
linkept Trouble on the road — hu-
morous to every one except the
man who went through it
Finally U S Tires And U S
Tires ever since
Perhaps it’s the experience of U S
Tire buyers that makes them more em-
phatic in their preference than ever this
year
When these men have tried most
Uimoftdtsl
everything by the way of “staggering
bargains” “hurrah discounts” “discon-
tinued lines at less” and so forth they
know what not to get
They want a fresh live tire With a
good reputation That’s everything it says
it is With the people behind it who
back it up

There are 92 U S Factory Branches
Your local U S Dealer is drawing
upon them continually to keep his stocks
sized up complete — to give you service
Whenever he gets one or a hundred
tires from aUS Factory Branch they
are newly made this season’s tires
Sold to you at a net price Full values
