FISHING FUN
We are in a position to report authentic information on the fishing conditions at Cataract Lake, as of Wednesday afternoon. They were terrible. . . . The water is high and muddy, and the Bass are indisposed. However, the forest surrounding the lake is beginning to green up, and the wildflowers are starting to bloom. There should be some fine mushrooms growing there. We saw one fellow who had found a few yesterday, but we didn’t see the size of them. Harold Reckley, who is the Mushroom Commissioner for this county will be glad to give you more information on the subject. . . . THE SPORTSMAN'S SHOP “Putnam County’s Tackle Box”

First Mule Was Raised By George Washington By Margaret I.atrobe No matter what the subject of conversation, before you know it George Washington and the State of Missouri turn up. In New* England, a house is without prestige unless our First President spent a night in an upstairs bedroom. And you’ll have to show me any living human who wasn’t from Missouri or at least claiming kinfolks in Jefferson City or St. Joseph. Well, it isn't too farfetched that in a spirited chat about the mule industry, the Missouri angle would crop up. Everybody knows that at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in '76 (Fairmount Park, May 10-Nov. 10) a pair of Missouri mules ran off with the first prize, making Kentucky and Kansas look pretty silly., This pair was owned by a reknowned horse fancier, Mr. Jilson P. Harrison of Calloway County, Mo., whose 10 children could judge mule colts with great accuracy before they were knee high to same. Otherwise, they got smacked off the ladder to the hay loft. (Everybody knows, too, that mules are slow-witted but extremely aigle customers, and youngsters hanging around the barn arc taught to select a high perch with two exits when the mules are in the lot.) Missouri was settled in the early days predominantly by Kentuckians and Virginians, who had choice saddle horses then as they do yet. By hybridizing a fine strain of horse with the donkey, a work animal resulted which was almost immune from disease, surefooted as a goat inheriting great stamina and an insensitive hide to withstand hot summers in the field. As often happens, unfortunately, the off-, spring inherited from the paternal side a sassy and obstinate streak which spoiled what might have been a lovable personality, and gave rise to the expression "stubborn as a Missouri mule." The natives of this State deny that their long-eared friends are a bit balky—maintaining they require only the light and intelligent lead not to be found in some other states you could mention. Long before this, George Washington himself got into the act. Through a present from the King of Spain he received the first donkeys known in America. Mount Vernon stables, no less, were the birthplace of the first -md most famous American jack, "Compound” by name, who was the r rebear of the Missouri mule. Indirectly, of course. The last mule count in this country was 1948, when there were two and a half million. Somebody is now* counting jackasses. and when the figures are -available you shall be the first to know.
