Another Shortage.

from Lie.

not a president of the New York Central

The beauty of our civilization seems to be
that it isn't the pregnant hinges of the

having to be crooked. The shoe does at
length get on the other foot, somebody
else's OK does eventually find himself gored,
and there comes the time, now and then,
when the worm gains more by turning than
the mere physical exercise.
Owing to the hard winter, or something
or other, there is likely to be rather

Lizards Destroy Fish Spawn.
rom the Philadelphia RECORD

Jerry Thompson of Howe township,
Perry county, an experienced fisherman,
says that the scarcity of fish in the Juniata
river Is not so much due to the baskets
and nets as to the ugly black lizards The
river is said to be full of these reptiles and
they live entirely on fish spawn and fish.
Many of these lizards have been caught
in nets and killed, and upon examination
have been found to contain fish from one
inch to six inches long. Whence they
came is mystery, but the damage they
are doing, according to Mr.. Thompson and
other 6shermen, is no secret.

ENFORCE RULES

Secretary Wilson Will Stand
No Nonsense From Manu-

Public opinion is the basis Of every
effective law. Unless a legislative act
is supported by the people. the o.
ficials charged with it's enforcement al
ways are confronted by difficult, and
sometimes by an impossible task. The
crucial test Of the Pure Food and

opinion is that. when it is put into
