A SIMPLE ROD HOLDER 



BY WM. HERWIG 

 Desiring a rod holder for troll- 

 ing, still-fishing and the like, I 

 set about to make one. In a 

 plumbing shop I found a piece of 

 tubing that just slipped easily over 

 the butt of my rod. This I pur- 

 chased for the enormous cost of 

 five cents. Next I cut off the tube 

 to about seven inches in length 

 and proceeded to pinch or flat- 

 ten one end with a few 

 blows from a hammer. In 

 this flattened end I bored a hole

large enough to accommodate an 

 ordinary thumb screw. Now all I 

 have to do is to screw my bit of 

 tube tight to the edge of the boat 

 or pier, stick in my rod and I am 

 all set. Where it is not desired to 



screw the tube tight, a bit of 

 string may be run through the 

 screw hole in the tube and tied to 

 the boat. I find it best to have 

 the tubing of such a diameter as 

 to allow the rod handle a little 

 play. 



A HOME-MADE CAMP 

 STOVE 



BY CHAS. S. YOUNGS 



I have noticed in your book, as 



well as in several others, articles 



upon camping outfits, and reading 



them brought to mind a stove 



which I have used on several oc- 

 casions and which proved very 

 satisfactory in every way. I am 

 enclosing a rough drawing to illus- 

 trate same. 



The stove is very easily made 

 and not very expensive. Get' a 

 sheet of Russia iron from a tin- 

 ner and have two edges turn 

 down, as shown in Fig. I, the size 

 to be governed by any box or 

 chest which is carried on the 

 trip, as the iron can be placed on 

 the top or bottom of the box or 

 chest and strapped on out of the 

 way. A fire built under the iron
