A new line holder to be secured to the post enables the most inexperienced hand to hang the line as taut as may be desired without the necessity of tying a knot. The line is merely slipped over a ’ lever portion of the device and under another por» tion, with the result that the greater the pull exerted on the line the lighter It 1* clamped-in the device.
