Many Kinds of Bait
Texas Anders
DALLAS Tex. July 27 Artifi-
cial bait used by Texas fishermen
now Is as varied as the types of an-
glers scattered along the streams and
lakes during the vacation season.
The science of angling Is btiBed upon
something tnoro than adroit mani-
pulation of a writhing worm or ac-
robatic frok preparatory and during
n cast according to Dallas fisher-
men. Game fish have sought tho deep-
er waters tho anglers say thereby
making more or less useless the
trout catcher's hoax In the use of
tiles splnnors and other artificial
bait used on or near the surface.
The novice at fishing finds inter-
esting the clever raetohds of the ex-
pert anglur In coaxing his prey onto
tho numerous waiting devices all
screening the eamo fatal hook
Sportsmen say that changing weath-'
er conditions necessitate use of dlf
fcience artificial bait In which va-
rious color shades and kinds of
camouflage are used. Color of bait
depends on shade of water. Another
condition which should govern use
of different baits Is the migratory
movements of Insects upon which
fish feed. The finny tribes watch
for insects flying in particular sea-
sons and the successful fisherman
select his bait accordingly.
Soveral new baits are being tried
by Texas anglers this year In effort
to coa. tho game fish onto the hook.
Many of the new devices arc of the
floate'r or surface fly type consist-
ing of a hook plunged into cork rep-
resenting the body of an insect with
hair or feather camouflage attached.
Buck tall and squirrel tail hair are
used" principally by many due to
their ability to turn water and dura-
bility. Feathers are used for the
same purpose those of the ostrich
guinea and small colored birds being
favorites. One local fisherman has

an imitation "snake doctor" well
balanced with tiny chicken feathers.
On another floating hook arc the
breast feathers of a humming bird
woven into the shapa of a huge bee-
tle. Many of tho floating baits when
wet have the appearance of bugs.
Bait alone does not make a person
a successful angler the experts de-
clare. It take's patience hard work
and a knowledge of where to go
habits of tho fish sought and gen-
eral "know how."

ORGANIZE STEAM LINE
FROM ITALY TO CANADA.
Br International Nw Serrlc. j
ROME July 27. Italian naviga-
tion lines between Italy and America
are having great difficulty in finding
business for their liners at the pres-
ent moment due to the enactment of
the present American immigration
law. To meet the difficulties the
Navigazione Generale Italiana line
has directed part of their ships into
a uew Italian-Canadian service
This is tho first Italian line that
has been established between Italy
and Canada. The other steamship
companies ure also occupied on the
problem of finding other fields for
the surplus Itnlian population. It is
expected that one or two more Ital-
ian companies will commence sailings
to Canada diverting their present
New York service to that effect.
The Pool
The onginator of an idea has wasted his time unless he is
able to interest some one else in his creation unless' that some
oneelse can enjoy it or benefit by it.
It is ebcause thoughts are so freely radiated- so easily ex-
changed and spread broadcast that this country is a fine place
to live in.
Consider the advertisements in this paper. They are
thoughts. Many of them are thoughts conceived with you in
mind thoughts for your comfortyour pleasure your health
your satisfaction. Thoughts that will save you time and money..
Do you take full advantage of them? Advertising is' the
voice of American business.
