USE TRACTOR TO DIG BAIT NOW IN RANDOLPH CUTHBERT, May 27.—‘Leave it to the wise heads to make work easy,” was the statement of a prom inent Cuthbert man today when he unexpectedly came upon the Cuth bert mayor and staff of council - men using a fleet of tractors to dig fish bait. Probably the “higher powers” have advance dope on the number of the finny tribe that lie hungrily in wait for the hooked wiggler, and are determined that bait will not run short at the cru cial moment. That the law makers have a “ring” whereby they propose to capture worms in such wholesale manner that they will have a mo i opoly on the angling industry, is another theory advanced. “No worms, no fishing,” is said to bo the motto of the new association.
