more. Some are away to pasture and
we have no funds with which to pay
pasturage, or secure their return. We
have nothing left to dispose of, our
farms are mostly mortgaged for all
that can be raised on them and
moneyed men and banks will loan no
money on even unincumbered real
estate in this part of the county.
Merchants cannot possibly carry
this vast concurse of people, as they
cannot buy on the long time required
by the consumer. The milling COM
pany will furnish no feed or seed until
1t rains, and then only on d crop and
chattel mortgage, which, if given,
leaves the merchant without security
and at once stops family supplies, and
the result must be inevitable starya
ton.
There are families in this COM
munity who have lived for months on
shorts and bran; others who have
lived for weeks on bread and water,
and scores who have had neither milk,
butter, meat nor lard in their houses
for weeks on weeks untold. Local COM
mittees and county officials are feed
ing hundreds, but hundreds more
which they cannot supply, are in need,
and the worst is yet to come.
Hay for horses, bran for the cow

remain, and family supplies of all kinds

These people are not spendthrifts
nor paupers. They Solicit no charity.
They simply ask for facilities by which
to help themselves. Money or supplies,
at a reasonable rate of interest, until
they can secure returns, or work at

Fishermen of St. Pierre.

Near the west coast of Newfoundland
are the Islands of St. Pierre and
Miquelon- They are the last relics
of the c great possessions of France
in North America. They have a French
governor and a uniformed French po-
lice. Many French fishermen make
their headquarters on these islands.
These Frenchmen "sail their travis"
Their fshing-vessels are much larger
than ours and include even barks. In
stead of dories they carry sail boats.
The vessel comes to anchor, and near
her each boat drops it's first trawl-keg
overheard. Then n boat will set a
zigzag trawl by lacking against the
wind, another will run a straight-away
course, so that the travis, while all
~converging toward the vessel, do not in
terefere with one another. Then, too,
the fishermen can in foggy weather
get back to the vessel by simply under
running their travis. Our fishermen
set theirs where they think they will
hook the most fish, and the vessel, in
stead of coming to anchor, cruises
about where she put the dories over
