This Marvelous Book Should Be
In Every Hoosier's Library
Hurry! Hurry! Only 241 Copies Available!
SOME 120 WELL LOVED POEMS by
one of the most beloved and most prolific
poets in Hoosier history have been collected
in this warmly received book.
The noted Hoosier educator and humorist,
Barton Rees Pogue, praised the little
anthology as "a most satisfying combination
of humorous and serious verse." He
further stated: "Broad humor in the Hoosier
idiom, nostalgic recollections of 'the
good old days,' sentiment about home,
relatives, parents, children, all holidays,
and the future life, kindly reference to
Indiana and her people, a strong faith in
.Providence, a wholesome review of common
things in our daily doings, a fine
appreciation of life on the human side
... all of these phases of experience are
sympathetically reviewed in 'Indiana
Homespun'."
Frank A. White some months ago devoted
his widely read syndicated column,
"The HooSier Day," to Mrs. Price, who
had been the staff poet for The Culver
,, -£T#f£ CC
Citizen from May 1954 until her death
during 1958. He said in part: "Popularity
of a beautifully printed volume of poems
called 'Indiana Homespun' by Mrs.
Laverne Brown Price, former schoolteacher
and Plymouth (Ind.) housewife, attests
to the fact that more Hoosiers than we
suspect like poetry. Mrs. Price is a delightful
person who has done a lot of
verse writing for newspapers. The poems
written by her are an open window to
her soul, where you see her as a lover
of birds, of the beauty, and of simple
things, and as a highly skilled poet."

Some say the catfish should
replace the bald /eagle as"
America's national symbol.
Unlike the eagle, whose rapacious
nature doesn't reflect our
peaceful ways, the catfish
lends to its own business in
peace.
But it can fight back with its
sharp spines when pushed
around. It is a home-loving
creature that shares the housework
and baby-sitting chores
with Mrs. Catfish. And then
there's that wonderful contribution
which this creature has
made to the American Way of
Life.
Fried catfish, that is. It's a
delicacy fit for a king, and
fetches princely prices in the
snazziest restaurants on both
sides of the Mississippi. So
much for the sissies—now let's
talk about the kind you and
me prefer, the kind you catch
ai':d fry yourself.
Catfish are easily caught by
still fishing on almost any type
of bait. At night, they'll go for
liver that's been sun-ripened
several days.
The tasty channel cat ranges
up to 30 pounds all down the
Mississippi south of Minnesota.
A 50-pounder was caught
recently below the Guttenberg,
Iowa dam.
The Sioux river, from near
Spirit Lake, Iowa, to the Missouri
and its tributary, the Little
Sioux, teems with hungry,
meal-sized channel cats. So
does Willow Slough, Indiana,
and most southern Illinois
rivers.
You can get a lot more fun
cut of fishing next weekend by
checking with the men who
meet more long-range fishermen
than anybody—the men
r who sell and service outboard
motors. All Mercury outboard
motor dealers, for example,
have available a free booklet,
"Fishing with an Outboard."

DOl'BEE BILLED — A dozen
residents of Clarksville, a Clark
County town, say they have observed
a two-headed bird in their
community. They say it has one
head tilted high and"another on
the side of its neck. They also say
it seems to eat twice as much
and twice as fast as other birds
with which it flocks. They have
identified it as a starling.

The big news on midwestem
waters this year is the way
thousands of sportsmen have.
deserted the old "corn-popper"
fishing motors for the
new king-sized outboards.
Uncle Zeb, who likes to trol"
at a snail's pace, has found a
big, new outboard that lets him
dawdle' in the weedbeds all
clay, and at the same time,
when he feels like it, race
around fit to scare the socks
of! a souped-up-duck. The makers
of this motor found that by
tilting the engine's powerhead,
they eliminated puddles of unburned
gas that use to make
big engines cough and wheeze
at sustained slow speeds.
There are a lot of Uncle Zeba
this year—some 60 per cent of
all outboard buyers will be
switching to the big mills this
year, (over 20 horsepower)
compared to only 13 per cent
owning this big an engine only
seven years ago.
If you're thinking of trading
your corn-popper this season
for a family-sized job, here's
a word of caution: it's possible
to yank the pants right off
your home-built scow, or beat
lumps in the slick bottom of
your new fibreglass hull, if
you're not careful to match
your boat to your motor and.
propeller.
This important business involves
a little figuring, and
your local outboard motor
dealer has a whole armload ot
engineering charts to help figure
the right combination for
your rig.
Mercury outboard dealers,
for example, provide a com- ,
plete free testing program to
help outboarders get the most
service and safety from their
motor-prop-hull combination.
