CIGARETS FOR MEASURING FISH. Here's something to remember: The standard cigaret is 2si inches long; the "king" size or "longies" are 3'4 inches. If you're ever in doubt as to the length of a fish, and you're 'way out in the middle of a lake with no rule within five miles, you can use a few cigarets for measuring. Four standard-length fags should total eleven inches when laid end to end. Take about six good drags off one of 'em, and you ought to have about ten Inches of cigarets left and that's a keeper bass.

"BAD TIME HAD BY ALL." Charlie Mills comes forth with this contribution, a newspaper clipping from Tulsa, Supply yourself with a towel and have a good hard cry with Fisherman Robert Eakes. En route to the Klamichl mountains for a weekend of fishing he had a flat tire. A little later the engine quit and it took four hours to get it humming again. Then he had another flat tire. Arriving at last, Eakes got a 2 -pound bass on his first cast.
Then he broke his reel. He borrowed a flyrod from his wife nnd broke it before he got back to the creek bank. Deciding to try bank fishing, he set a minnow trap and got a fine haul. He went to cut a pole and came back to find two water snakes had eaten every minnow in the trap. He shot the snakes.

Before the library was established, the people had to go either to Galesburg or the trl-cities to use a library. As a result many persons did not have books and periodicals to read. Many Volumes Available.
There are now 1370 volumes of history, biography, and fiction in the library and eleven of the best magazines, including several of special interest to youths. The population of Woodhull is only 700, but nearly 2900-volumes circulated from the library last year. Also 815 magazines were borrowed during the year. Figures like these prove that Woodhull people appreciate and use their library. From their experiences, members of the non-partisan W.
C. T. U. recommend to other organizations the support and encouragement of youth actvities. In the words of Mrs.
McQueen: "I think that boy and girl scouts, 4-H clubs, Rural Youth organizations, and the various young people's church leagues are the finest projects a community can sponsor. When a community helps young people's organizations like these to flourish, that community is building to improve its own future." Prophetstown, Sept. 2. Mrs. V.
