liood Times Are Theae For Farmer*.
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

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.

tire ? Goodrich *s 4' Three - Seventy -Five.1
Of SUPER-SIZE and SUPER

Goodrich's
"Three-Seventy-Five"
That's its size: Three and seventy
five hundredths inches in the cross

too in the circumference.
I ts heroic size, however, is designed
to fit 30-inch rims cn Ford cars.
It is .made solely with the five

its own greater dollar ECONOMY,
make it the better buy in the end.
