That there has Iteen an enormous Increase in the decenary cost of liv ing in the last few years Is well known to all. In citlos es|teoially, where everything eaten must be pur chased, it has Itecomc In many cases almost a question of existence. In runil districts where food can l>e grown in (ho Held and garden, it is in a mea sure different. While (he cost of living has In-1 creased, the products of the farm sell for much more than In past years. This Is well Illustrated in the follow ing. clipped from a daily pa|>er: "A Western fanner came Into town the other day to get a buggy, and the salesman at the implement store showed his one at $!><>. "'Talk about the high eos( of liv ing,' the farmer grumbled. 'I can re member that, my father bought a bug gy exactly like that for $<><> (weuty years ago.' "The salesman remembered the sale, too, and he responded quickly: " 'Your father turned in three hun dred bushels of nun to pay for it. Now I'll do lwtter by you (ban 1 did by your father. You bring in your three hundred bushels of corn, and I'll let you pick out this list.' And the salesman wrote down: "One $!?<> buggy. "One $f>0 wagon. "One $'_'() suit of clothes. "< >ile $20 dress. "< >tie $."> baby dross. "One $fi crib. "$f> worth of sugnr. "$l.f>0 worth of coffee. ".<1 worth of tea. $10 worth of gasoline. $'2.50 worth of lubricating oil. "The total tlgured $'_M0, the value of the three hundred bushels of corn it had taken t<> buy :i $JM> buggy twenty years before. The farmer clhnlted back Into his motor car. " 'I guess 1 haven't got any kick coming on the high cost of living.' he said 'Send out that $i*> buggy.' " Fooling The Negro. Negroes lured to tin* North b\ the magic spell of the labor ajjents mre not tlndinu' I Mat section the I'topia I>i<-111 r?*?I ti> them by their rutleers, and many who have listened to the allur ing calls of the labor agents are mak ing1 their way back, often hilariously and by short stages, to the land of cot ton and sunshine which the experience provcs to them is far more congenial t" their natures. The story of a Montgomery, Ala., negro enticed northward by a smooth t??ngi>?*d labor agent should be instruct ivc to others of the race who arc thinking of the North as the proverbial land of milk and honey, where money is "easy" and they are "jes as good as anybody." The following story of the Montgomery negro's experiences is taken from The Advertiser of that city : "Footsore and weary after walking something like 4(xi miles from Cleve land. <> .lim Thomas, a well known negro of West Montgomery, arrived In the city Thursday morning, vowing venueamv If he ever met the 'yaller nigger' that j>ersuadod him to leave the South for the railroad work of the Huckeye State. Thomas told Al bert Abraham, of Abraham Brothers, that he had walked from Cleveland, and had been more than four weeks on the road. He declared that he was i>er*uaded to leave Montgomery by promises of high wages for an eight-hour working day ; that when he reached Ohio he, with his companions, was herded off the train by armed guards and put to work on track build ing; there was little to eat ami that very high, and when Thomas left to walk back home he had only a few dollars. Unpleasant experiences mark ed the Journey, according to Thomns. and he was forced to do much work for which he received no pay. At one place, he says, he and four other negroes were made to unload several carloads of crossties, reviving no mon ey for their work. /i "Jes gimme a Job, boss,' Thomas pleaded with Mr. Abraham, 'and when de Angel (Gabriel blows Ills horn you'll find di.s niffger right here In Montgom ery.

WOBBLERS, WIGQLER8 AND 0ICH. My IH'ar liuck: They are with us by the hundreds and even thousands, the various shaped wooden plugs, painted in every color in the deck and then a few ex tra cubist daubs thrown in for luck. And here's the funny part, old chap, they all seem to get the fish, more or less, according to the expertness of the manipulator of the rod. Although the majority of the arti ficial baits do not resemble any nat ural bait, that is, not that jrou could notice without first having read their pedigrees, through Bome inexplainable reason the fish strike them, and, as they generally have hooks galore, Bven tho beginner has no difficulty in hook ing his flsh; fact is, many times the fish hooks itself. Of course you'll have to Jot this down in your dream-book, "Hookin' 'em doesn't always mean landin' 'em." What Makes 'Em Do It7 Probably when a highly cultured bass sees one of these gloriously dec orated affairs splash In his home grounds he up and makes a dash at It In anger at the rough-neck intrusion of the queer-looking object, or per haps strikes it in pure cussedness, cggod on by the wonderful movements of the little demon in its wobble back homo to the caster. How they ever dug the big bunch out of the woodpile and got away with it is the eighth wonder of the world. More power to 'em. What would a follow do if he couldn't browse around among a bunch of new ones and select a fow to take along on each trip and try them out on the unsuspecting fish. You Never Can Toll. You nover know what you can do with one of these dippy, diving, wob bling wonders 'till you try It amj then all tho advance dope and traditions of that particular bait may go to smash in one afternoon's fishing and new vic tories in an entirely different line of fishing be pegged up to its credit. To illustrate this point, old man, at the opening of tho season I took a flyer at bass. It had been cold and rainy, with high waters, and the baas were quiet and far-offish. My tackle box wns decked out with a collection of lures guaranteed to make any bass norvous, Jealous or fighting mad. The bass sure wore off their feed, both in color and shape. Nothing seemed to coax them out of the wet. I snapped on a South Bend Bass-orcno bait, all white with a red head, and tried that as an enticer. Nothing doing with the bass, but I had as nice a piece of wall-eyed pike fishing as a fellow could find anywhere. Almost every cast brought a strike, and in the after noon's casting this little old bass lure hooked 32 wall-eyed pike, all of which were thrown back in tho drink except the larger ones and that left a stringer with tho limit and none below two pounds, topped with a fix and a half pounder. My fishing pal and guide had the same luck with a white Wilson Wobbler with red flutes, by which he swoars like a pagan. They were sure off the bass but on the pike. The Colors They Like. As to color, the preference seoms to bo with white body and red head, fol lowed by all red, all yellow, green back with white belly and rainbow, but what they take one day may be passed without a squint the next. However, with the above colors in your tackle outfit you probably can please them any day. Tho luminous-painted plug, which, If exposed to daylight or artificial light, glows like the dampened head of a match, makes an excellent bait for af ter sundown or moonlight casting. The fact that these baits float when In the water and not in motion makes them an ideal lure for the beginner, especially when he puts in a session with a little old back lash. He knows his bait is floating instead of snag ging, which was the habit of the "daddy" of this kind of plug, the old underwater sinker that found more snags and hook holds than a fallow thought could exist in well regulated fishing waters. Lures That Make 'Em 8trike. For a selection of lively artificials, tho JAmison Coaxer, which is a croed between a chunk of pork and a hum ming bird, makes a good one to start with, tho Heddon's Baby Crab Wig gler gives all the moves of a crawfish going home to its mother and that sure is pie for the bass. The Wilson Fluted Wobbler,South Bend Bass-ereno and Rush Tango Minnow, all with white body and red heads, give you a bunch of dives, dips and crawls that is hard to beat. With these baits in your tackle box, and any others that tlokle your fancy, you ought to be able to slip one over on ths unsuspecting fish, and at the same tine have a lot of fun watching them do their dance In the water.
