‘Wireless’ Signals Good Stunt to Use Out Fishing

BY DAN BEARD. National Scout Commissioner. “Coin* listin'?" That’s the tray tallows used to greet each other down in our town about this time of year. And the reply always was: t ‘Bet your boots I am. Got any bait?” We always kept bait on hand, for every rainy night we fellows used to go out “jackin’ ” for night walkers and we all kept boxes with dirt and moss in them under BEARD the back porch. where we kept our night walkers until we needed them. But when another fellow greeted you with the question, “Goin' fishin’, '* he did not always have a fish pole over his shoulder as you would expect. Sometimes he would have a lot of long-necked bottles under his arm, sometimes he would have four or five brown jugs slung over his shoulder, and sometimes he’d have a lot of floating tip-ups. Fishing with a cut pole and a was sometimes slow fishing unless they (the fish I mean) were taking the bait well. It was then that we used to get more fun out of fishing our way with the bottles and things. Here is how we did it: Nearly all of us owned punts or some kind of a floating contrivance, even though it was only a log catamaran or a raft. We would use thhis when we went fishing. We would gather up all the bottle or jugs or sirup cans that we could attach a line to and load them aboard our skiff. Then we would paudl out to the best fishing ground in the river, and while

MEMBER OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM AStory of Ten Years Ten years ago last Saturday the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company began business. It was founded and has been administered with the conviction that satisfying success comes only in return for service of real worth, and that as to a bank no other consideration is as important as strength. The size which the company’s banking business has attained is evidenced by the fact that its resources are now eighteen and a quarter million dollars. The trust department has grown to a . business of great activity and extent. It now has in its charge as executor, ulministrator, guardian or trustee, property valued at more than nine million dollars and is acting in corporate trusts aggregating thirty million dollars. The loan department is now lending on city real estate at the rate of two millions annually. A large portion of these loans are sold by the company’s bond department, which is doing a large business in high grade securities. * Some nine millions of loans on Indiana farms have been made by the Fletcher Joint Stock Land Bank, all of whose stock is owned by the trust company. Recently the company became a member of the Federal Reserve System and as such is prepared for and is increasingly engaging in, commercial banking. All this is not by way of emphasizing mere bigness, but by way of an effort to acquaint the community with the fact that during the ten years there has been here developed a public-serving institution that aspires to be worthy of the community in size and character. Insofar as the company may have acquired character and reputation, it is due largely to the fact that its directors do indeed run the business. Unusual methods are pursued for the purpose of keeping all of them in actual knowledge and control. The list of them is given in conclusion as being the most significant fact about the company. They are Henry C. Atkins, Frederic M. Ayres, Albert Baker, Henry W. Bennett, Vinson Carter, Allen W. Conduitt, Hugh Dougherty, William F. Hayes, Charles W. Jewett, Hugh McK. Landon, Albert E. Metzger, Samuel D. Miller, William J. Mooney, Nicholas H. Xoyes, Gustav A. Schmid, Cassius C. Shirley, Joseph H. Spellmire, William M. Taylor, Charles N.

one fellow was rowing the other would attach short lines to each one of the jugs or bottles. Each would be baited with a luscious worm and at the fishing grounds would be tossed

<

overboard and permitted to float at will. We would row around and presently see one begin to act mysteriously. We would haul it up quickly because Us mysterious actions meant that there was a fish on. And when two or three got bobbing around and going in different directions we had our hands full. Some of the more ingenious fellows made floating tip-ups such as you see in the diagram. And when we did not go out in our skiffs or dugouts—we had another way of covering a lot of river and getting all the fish we could. We would cut little willow wands, and tie a little brass bell to each one. Then we would put them in the bank just as

you see the one in the diagram and when the bell began to tinkle we knew something was happening. Tomorrow Dan Beard tells you liow to collect a big menagerie. NORTHWESTERN AVE.
