The fishermen about town are green-
eyed this week. In fact, they have de-
cided to quit the profession. It is
just no use fishing, when such a
fisherman as Ivan Smart has all the
luck. He won’t even tell where he goes
fishing. All we know, is that he came
back to town with an eighteen-pound
yellow cat, and said he caught it with
his rod and reel.

week, and we understand a meeting
