THE ANGLER’S WORKSHOP 
Rodmaking for Beginners 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A UNIQUE work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s book 
supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his own 
ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information gathered 
by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in fishing, tournament 
casting and at the work bench. He theorizes tsid speculates not at all. He tells “the 
how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way that makes results certain. All 
explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; to 
tarpon, surf and light salt water rods; bass and trout, salmon and tournament fly-rods. 
Complete specifications of well known types are given, and the chapter on split bamboo 
rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever published. Indispen¬ 
sable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain every 
feature of the text. Postpaid, $1.

HUNTING ON MOLOKAI. 
Registrar C. H. Merriam, Senator-elec 
Quinn. Gus Schuman and W. L. Emery, have 
returned from a three weeks’ hunting trip on 
Molokai. 
“We shot everything from pheasants to deer,” 
said Merriam recently. “We had pheasant to 
eat every day, and venison part of the time, 
while toothsome wild pig added variety to the 
menu. Senator Quinn proved the best shot 
when it came to pheasants. These are of the 
Mongolian variety, the cocks sometimes weigh¬ 
ing four to five pounds. Quinn shot a wild boar 
that weighed about 225 pounds. We all shot 
goats. They are doing a good deal of dam¬ 
age to the forests and ought to be exterminated. 
The wild pigs are doing a good of damage, 
too. We found a good many considerable 
areas that had been rooted up. The deer hunt¬ 
ing was not very good. I saw very few deer 
and was able to kill only two. The deer just 
now are mostly down in the algaroba groves 
that fringe the southern shore of the island, 
this being the bean season. A month from now 
the deer hunting will be better, for then the 
bean season will be over and the deer will have 
gone back into the mountains. 
“We were at an elevation of 3,100 feet, and 
got very nearly as complete climatic change 
from Honolulu as we would if we had gone to 
the Volcano House. The thermometer stood 
at 42 degrees nearly every morning. The sea¬ 
son has been a very dry one on Molokai.”—

Best Books For Boys 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
T HE solution of the parents’ problem of providing for the growing boy reading at once healthy and 
satisfying to his craving for action and adventure. In the Jack Books the longing of the normal 
boy for Western stories is gratified, the interest is absorbed and the mind is unconsciously led tc 
phases of life that are elevating and instructive. 
The books are the story of a young New York lad, sent to Stillwater ranch in the Rockies for ll® 
health, who becomes the companion of a veteran of the frontier. For each of six succeeding years he ^ 
led through new territory and experiences, accumulating much of the lore of plain and mountain, er*" 1 
with tales of the old West. 
Ranch life, travel and hunting on the lonely plains, Indian camps, mountain 
climbing, trapping and canoeing are described. There is not a dull page, and 
the author manages to put much of the spirit of the West into his books. Jack 
is a real boy, and the books are stories for live boys—not lectures in disguise.
