FISHIN' FEVER. 



There is one disease which cannot be cured by 

 innoculation and that is "Fishing Fever." My 

 piscatorial friend R. R. M. Carpenter, distinguished 

 as the Director of the Development Department of 

 the Du Pont de Hours Powder Company has not 

 introduced his product to the catching of bass and 

 trout, but abandons the trade to partake of exceptional 

 opportunities at week ends, to capture "prize winners." 

 He is an apt scholar and sings : 



"I don't go often, but when I do, 

 I catch the big ones, 

 I would go often, if I knew, 

 I'd always get the big ones." 



No one of the Blue Ridge Club people has done 

 more to advance the interests of that organization that 

 J. Maury Dove, many years the President. He didn't 

 do it by fishin', but by keeping house and having 

 things right when the boys came in from a days 

 outing on the river.
