5 NEWTON high-power rifle 
Chambered for any one of the cartridges 
shown at the left (in the order of their 
relative power) is 
A BIG-GAME GETTER 
The .30 Gov’t, car¬ 
tridge with our bul¬ 
let is far superior to 
any other of this 
style. 
The .256 and .30 
Newton both go 
higher in power, and 
there is no game in 
America that can 
stand the punch 
either of these lands, 
if the rifle is pointed 
right. 
And the Newton rifle is so perfectly shaped and balanced that it almost 
points itself. Get one and bring home the hide this fall. 
Immediate shipment of rifles and cartridges of these three calibers. 
Price of rifle as shown, $60. Catalog for stamp.

THE BEST BASS 
BAITS 
By BEN C. ROBINSON 
CONTINUED FROM LAST MONTH 
I 
• ' vjl- vvui ina tii i Li me 
A helgramite are too well known to 
require more than a passing notice 
from us. Any one who has not -at one time 
or other cast a line out over some waiting 
little bass stream, with 
one of these favor¬ 
ites affixed as a chal¬ 
lenge to the hungry 
cl^ip waiting in the 
rr^ shadow 
o f t h e 
lily pads 
or the 
cool 
darkness of some eddy about a crum¬ 
bling stump, and shortly thereafter had 
the pleasure of seeing the silk map the 
placid surface above his determined rout 
has certainly missed one of the treat 
days of life. One thing I have no¬ 
ticed even among those who are old in 
the sport of fishing, and that is a careless 
handling of these well known and reliable 
baits. It should be understood at all times 
that the care of your bait is every whit as 
important as that of the other tackle. Poor 
bait means light creels of fish, and the 
old-timer at the game will be easily marked 
by the attention he bestows upon that very 
necessary end of his equipment. Figure 
out, or seek to learn from others, the best 
method of keeping bait, when not in use 
or being transported from point to point, 
to preserve their vigor and appearance. 
Always be sure that they have plenty of 
room for one thing, and plenty of their 
natural covering. Helgramites, grubs, 
crickets and grasshoppers should be well 
covered with grass, leaves and rotted wood, 
in some cases well moistened. Angle 
worms need rich loam, sprinkled freely 
with Indian meal for them to feed’ on. 
The small toads one will notice hop¬ 
ping about on the gravel bars and at the 
edges of the highways : n the early morn¬ 
ings of middle and late summer are great 
favorites with some of the bass fishers, 
and without any question are good stock¬ 
ing for the bait can. Only those of small 
size are usable, those from a half inch to 
an inch and a half, and are available only 
fdr still fishing. As a troll they are not 
to he recommended owing to the rapidity 
with which they drown. If used near the 
bottom the toad will at most times attract 
other than bass to the hook; channel cats 
are always on the lookout for the bait as 
well as the mud cat. Used where there 
are planty of bass cover and worked gen¬ 
tly about the favorable places they are ex¬ 
cellent lures for small and big mouth, and 1 
while they live are extremely active. 
Toads should be kept in a well ventilated 
box and fed with flies and gnats or millers \ 
—in fact, most any kind of small bugs 1 
and insects will appeal to him. Minnows 
should be given room and plenty of fresh 1 
water; when they are noticed coming to 
the top for air it signifies the water in 1 
their vessel needs changing. Never sub -1 
mit this bait to a violent change of tern-j 
perature like pouring cold spring water li
