SAME OLD KICK.

The Stafford Journal gives vent to it's pent up emotions in the fol- lowing manner
 The editor Of this paper has been asked several times who are the differ ent candidates running for office. To which we reply we are not an encvel0- pedia so far aS this paper is concerned we do not know Of but two candidates who are running for otiiee-Joe Mekin- ney, and George E. Gamble, who are aspramts Tor the office n sheriff
 The Journal N simply indulging in bit Of speaking out in meet ing" that spreads wherever there are newspapers, as regularly as election times come around. Some men who expect their party news papers to support them for office, or for nominations, never think that there should be any reciproci- ty in the matter of support. They think that their party paper should give the most hearty support, and that the printers in its office should vote without exception 10 put them in offices that pay, and give them livings at least, when they will do nothing toward help- ing to get living the party paper whose support they expect. Some of the same kind of men will knife their party ticket unless 1t is made up 10 suit them in every particu- lar, but in their own minds for q newspaper to do so is the un- pardonable sin.

WIS inspired by d railroad official who is in q position to know Of what he was talking; and to the representative of this paper the gentleman demon strated his assertions by presenting for inspection numerous maps and prints. Even the (hand) )organ had a say and asserted that there are in Nogales several prominent railroad men who know as much about railroad building as any others" and that they assert there is no truth in the article that ap- peared in these columns. It would be a good idea for prominent railroad men" to get together and agree on a story.

ogy-wero taken in Rhode Island


 The trout and bass fisherman. in his efforts to promote protective Ieglsla- ton, and in his consideration of rlsh- eriesi ouestions, is very likely to fancy that his are the most important of all the problems having to do with fisn. He will perhaps take different vie" of the matter after he has learned MT Tracy's list, which may be said to ap- nlv most equally to Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, that or 177 species enumerated. only fourteen are fresh water fish.
 If is true that many of the ocean fishes spawn in fresh water and Ie" of them, the shad, herring and ale- wife, for instance, are taken at such periods, but all of these are truly salt water fishes ,, cred a herring, but 1t Is as representa- five of the group as It's cousin, the sea herring, Clupea Harengus. which smoked. forms a welcome dish the year round,' or the more common va riety known variously as aleWlie' branch nerring and buckle, which as- cends the Taunton River in contin- uous stream in late March and April
 Another important member of this sroun is the menhaden or porgy, which. because of It's value as an oil producer. gives the American Fisher les Company a reason for maintaining it's fleet of steamers The meuhade0 Is one of 8 great many fishes which despised today for the table may Tn time assume a greater economic value as food than for its oil.
 Those who have eaten 1t say 1t IS of excellent flavor and substance, all though troublesome because of the complexityt of its skeleton Structure Today it is more highly appreciated bv the weak-fish and the bluefish than by man, forming a considerable part of their diet durihg the months they are taken in Northern waters.
 The menhaden. unlike fhe fish which .nrev upon 1t. is not carnivorous, its entire food supply being obtained by Altering out from the surface stratum os water the organic life there sus- nanded. It fr fuInished with gill rak- CTS. whose arrangement forms high ly effective filter Ot the water whlch the fish takes in by swImming actiVelV in circles with widely opened mouth and expanded gill covers. Menhaden are taken in travis operated from steamers, immense hauls having been recorded.
 Another member of the herring family. one with which line fisher men are familiar, is the hickory shae. which uttains a maximum length or twenty four inches and is often caught by persons fishing with lines t"" weakrish.
 Cne connects the tarpon with Flor ida waters. but Mir Tracy finds thai stragglcrs are sometimes reported by fishermen and gives the ih'tat or tbis king of game fishes as f Om Cape Cod to Brazil A near re ation, known as the -pounder and the big-eyed herring. Is so rare that 1t is not usu- ally recognized by Northern fisher men tWhen caught North they may fairly be considered flotsam of the Gulf stream.
 Flying fishes are not exceedingly | rare iu New England waters In the 1 Museum of the Academy of Natural | Sciences at Philadelphia yis one of the variety most commonly seen in the East and West Indies. which was talk en at Newport.
 The black winged flying fish may

be looked for and sometimes may be seen as far north as the Grand Rapids. Another variety is so rare that only two specimens are known one, the type speoimeh, being pre- served in the Museum of Natural Hls- tory in Paris. Both of them were tax en at Newport
 The barracuda Is a more strictly tropical genus, of which hnly one spe- cies has been taken in Kew England. Its habitat is from Pensacola to the West Indies, and the excuse for It's fishes Is the capture of single specl- men, eight inches long, in a net last year at Willow Beach. near Wickford. The squirrel fish Is another curious tropical species which Is noted at New portatai
 It might be expected that the scab- bard fish would be found in company with the sword fish, which is plentiful everywhere along the New England coast in the summer, but such Is far from being the case. It Is, in fact, a denizen of warm seas, chiefly of the western Atlantic, and while not plenti- ful, is captured every year by hsher- men The largest specimen recorded from New England waters was taken at Newport in 1901. and had attained the highly respectable length of three feet eight inches.
 Of the pompanos genus, numbering fifteen varieties, only two are fairly common along the Rhode Island coast, the other thirteen deserving to De classed wiiftshh .azz..e rY plindrdua cIassed with fish which yield to the seductions of the Gulf Stream to stray on a long Journey from their tropical home. These are all small fish.
 One of them has gained fame and a name as the pilot fish, which figures in sea stories as the guide of sharks. Three specimens from Newport may be seen in the United States National Museum.
 The PoUrtuguese man-ofwar fish IS said to have got It's hame from the fact that 1t was fOand about Portu- guese man of-war on the occasion when it was first classified. 1t is plentiful fin the tropical parts of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans In rather deep water, the surface of which t freauents, and Is especially abundant in the SaTgasso Sea.
 The king of the mullets, one Of the cardinal fishes, is included in the Rhode Island list from the circum- stance of a single specimeut captured at Newport nearly forty years ago. It may safely be set down as Gull Stream wandcrer, and one of the rnr- est, 1t not actually the rarest of it's class.
 Passing hastily down the record there is noted among the sea hasses the snowy grouper, which Is at hom" between Brazil and che West Indies. but off Cape Cod Judging from those taken north, 1t is a tlny fisn, from an inch and a quarter long, not readi ly identified as closely related to that magnificent fighter, the striped bass, which has reached 1l2 pounds The triple tail is represented m Northern waters by only six spacI- mems in twenty years the largest oi which weighed six co"nds and was taken off rrudenee Island, fin Nara | gansett Ray, five years ago.

Is fairly familiar to the investigators at Woods Hole.
 Mir Tracy characterizes this as ona of the most interesting of visitors from Southern waters. It Is usually found swimming under the bits Of gulf weed which drift in from the Gulf stream in summer and autumn during long east and southeast blows.
 The frogfish furnishes a striking example ofprotective coIoring. tI has a mottled skin, to which are at. tachel many flamentous appendagas giving the fish such a resemblance co the gulf weed in which 1t floats thai it is effectively hidden from it's ene- mies
 While clumsy in its movements, it is adept at approaching and captur~ ing other fish. It is cannibalistic in its habits, frequently bitten of the fleshy dermal appendages of it's fel- lows, and one six inches long has been known to make a meal from another four inches long. aad
 Although several specimens have been taken at Woods Hole and Nan- tucket Shoals, there are records or only two in Rhode island waterss both having been trapped at the mouth of the Sakonnet River within six days of one another.

 The manufacturing possibilities of

 certain extent, been ignored by for eign capital ever on the lookout for the place and the opportunity for pro- fitable investment. Our northern neigh bor. the hustling city of Birmingham, i with its extensive mineral deposits, transportation facilities and other ad-

 measure, over-shadowed her sister cities of Alabama and stemmed the
 golden tide which for years has been setting steadily south-ward But Mont gomery has wakened to the knowledge that this was not a special dispensa- ton of partial Providence, but the
 result of intelligent effort A city which is endowed with every natural advantage must make known her re- sources; must convince capital where, when and why it can realize handsome ly on it's investments. It is not enough that it is so; it must be advertised, argued, presented in such an attractive and convincing form that the prospec- tive investor cannot resist the appeal to his judgment and business acumen.

The big Heinz billboard on the Wal
kiki road has been removed.
This board. which has been consider
able of an eyesore to the aesthetlcaIiy
inclined portion of the community
will offend no longer.
The removal of the board was ae-
complished largely through the IN
strumentality of the Pioneer Adver-
Using Co. who on learning of the dis
approval of the Improvement CLUBS
brought the matter to the notice OF
the Fl. J. Heinz Co., of Pittsburg, who
had ordered the offending board to be
erected.
The first effort of the Pioneer Ad-
yertisine Co. was unsuccessful because
their communication came only before
the advertising department of the
Heinz concern which recognized an adj
vertising value in the publicity result
ing from the opposition and would not
consent to the board S removal.
c. r. Frazier OF the Pioneer Adver-
Using Company, however, was per-
sistent and succeeded in bringing the
matter personally before II. j. Heinz,
who, on learning the facts, regretted
that the board had been placed in
position which interfered with fine
view He was extremely sorry that
the advertisement had offended the
Honolulu people, and in ordering the
board to be removed desired the Pho
neer Advertising Co. to publicly ex-
press his regret over the incident.
The removal of the board was at
tended by no small expense as it was
necessary to saw it up in sections in
order to move it and it will have to
be entirely reprinted. All of which
expense will be borne by the III. j.
Heinz Co.
The Owl Cigar sign has also been
removed and there are now no longer
any offending boards on the Waikiki
road.
