AT A university reunion a bunch of alumni were gathered together talking over their college days and whooping it up for auld lang syne. One successful young business man turned to a classmate and said, *Joe, remember that chemistry-lab partner you had, that we called Fussbudget and who used to beat you at tennis until you got so mad you wouldn't play any more? Well, I saw Fussbudget crossing the Main street bridge the othg® day with a little boy. A few yards ahead was Micky Martin. Bill Smith was with me and he said Micky was the father of Fussbudget's little boy. To make it more compli- cated, Mickey isn't married.” “That’s easy,” said Joe, here's the answer.” ‘What was it?

The federation’s normal income has been depleted for months because more than 1250,000 members of unions who foliowed Lewis and estab- lished the Industrial Organization Committee, have not been paying it dues. The aluminum workers contenaed | the federation officials have been diverting money from its defense fund for current expenses and that this is illegal.

Wholesale discharges are neces- | claim discrimination | Nature’s Children BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. HE common rock bass puts up a fine fight when first caught, then gives up. To the angler this is most discouraging. A fighter is what he is after and for & bass to give up so easily, well, it hardly seems natural. Most fishermen are well acquainted with this panfish, From Vermont and New York westward to Manitoba and South to Louisiana and Texas, the rock bass is fairly abundant. In the upper Mississippi Valley and in the Great Lakes they are very plentiful. There is hardly a stream, pond or lake they do not inhabit. They also love to seek the smaller streams, the creeks and the rivers. Do not look for them where the water is muddy. Rather seek the places where the water is clear and cool. Their choice gathering places are where you can find aquatic plants, in streams where there are deep holes of quiet water and handsome, large boulders reach far out into the stream. They even like to congregate under partly submerged logs, once great trees that have stood guardians for centuries until the erosion of the stream banks finally brought them low. A rock bass often reaches a length of 12 inches and will weight from 1 to 1!, pounds. The average weight is slightly over & half pound, but there is always the prize size to go after. It is such a fing size for pan {rying, and you do not feel greedy if you eat several. Not of a “persnickity” disposition, this bass will take any kind of bait offered. It can be caught most any season of the year and any hour dur- ing the day, even night. If you are out camping and longing for some sweet juicy fish right out of the water to your pan, old “goggle-eye or red-eye” is indeed a welcome addi- tion to the bill of fare. Small minnows, fat white grubs and angleworms can be said to rank high in the favor of rock bass. Even the trolling spoon, bucktail and spinner have been sufficient lure to land a rock bass. If none of these are pres- ent, you can always arcuse some grass- hoppers, that any one will grant are a good riddance. Perhaps you can find some of the rock fish spawning this Spring. The male is very domestic and even builds a nest for his mates to deposit eggs. | The place selected is usually a gravel | bed where the water is fairly swift and not too deep. A bar on a lake is often selected. The father defends his home with determination and ability. He fans the debris off the eggs, so they will not smother, and | he challenges any male rockfish that dares to intrude. The rock basses belonging to this | genus are known by their oblong body, which is fairly compressed, lower projecting jaw, rather low spines and large head. The rock bass is an clive green in color tinged with brassy and well mottled with dark coloring The mature members of the family have a dark spot on each scale, and these form interrupted black stripes.

Despair and hope are almost twins; Despair doth end where hope begins. —Old Mother Nature. O YOU wonder that Old Mr. Toad was in something very like despair? There he was, late, anyway, to keep a date at the Smiling Pool and then had | to tumble into & hole so deep that| it would take him a long time, a| very long time, to make his way to the surface again. It was a posthole he had tumbled into. Some new posts were to be put in for the fence along there, and two or three holes had been dug, but the posts not yet put in. And it was his own fault. He knew that, and, of course, that didn't | make him feel any better. Some- how it never makes any of us feel any better to know that our troubles are through faults of our own. Queer as it may seem, there always is some comfort in being able to blame some one else for our troubles. But Mr. Toad had no one to blame but him- self. He had been making what for him were long hops as he hurried toward the Smiling Pool, hop, hop, hippity-hop, and he hadn’t been looking, as he should have been, where each hop would land him. The result was that a long hop had landed him nowhere at first and finally at the bottom of that hole. There was real distress in Old Mr. Toad’s beautiful golden eyes. There was distress and there was despair “Now I've dore it gasped Old Mr. Toad when he had recovered his breath. “Yes, sir, I've done it now. By the time I get out of this hole Mrs. Toad will be sure that something has happened to me and she'll listen to one of those uppity young Toads singing over there in the Smiling| Pool. If I hadn’t overslept, this | 1% wouldn't have happened. No, sir, this wouldn't have happened. I'll have to dig my way up, and it will take a long time. If Mrs. Toad isn't over at the Smiling Pool now she will be by the time I can get out and over there.” The only way that Old Mr. Toad could dig his way out of that hole was by digging a sort of burrow in the earth around that hole. He started in at once, slanting his bur- row upward, but he didnt dig long before he was too tired to dig more just then. You Winter and he see, he had slept an! was in no condition | for such hard work as digging.

If you were at the bottom of a deep well you would have much the same feeling that Old Mr. Toad had as he mournfully gazed up at a little ecir- cular bit of sky. This was, of course, all he could see from down there. He could still hear the chorus from the Smiling Pool, but faintly. Down there all the sounds are smothered. He looked at the start he had made on his way to the surface, and it was such a small start and he was so tired that more than ever he de- spaired of getting out of there in time to meet Mrs. Toad at the Smil- All the time inside him was the desire to sing, because this was the time of year when he was in the habit of singing. He wanted to sing, but he didn't feel like sing« ing. It was because he was in de- spair. No one in despair feels like singing. It was a terribly mixed-up sort of feeling, as you can imagine, and a most unpleasant one. For a long time Old Mr. Toad sat there. Then something hit him right spang on the nose. It was a drop of rain. Another followed, and an- other and another, and pretty soon the drops fell so fast that they formed little streams that pelted Old Mr. Toad. He didn't mind. He didn’t mind at all. In fact, that rain was refreshing Old Mr. Toad likes dampness. The place to look for him in the Spring is in water, instead of on land. So Old Mr. Toad en, the rain but one thi i minded him all the time of the Smil= ing Pool and that he should be there at that very minute Now it happened more than a shower, into & heavy downpour. of afterward cloudburst that th was It developed People spoke as being almost a Presently water began to run off the ground into that poste hcle, and the first thing old A Toad knew he was forced to swim. He didn't mind that, for, having been born in the Smiling Pool, he was quite at home in the water. The water grew deeper and deeper. It was then that hope took the place of despair.
