Patent Tong Law.

Editor Peninsula Enterprise-We
ask space in your paper, to say that
the Board of Fisheries will not direct
it's inspectors and police to stop the
use of patent tongs, prior to April
1st, on the Eastern Shore when used
for claiming. 1t has come to our
knowledge that some inspectors, and
your people generally, are not famil-
lar with Section 214S as amended by
the Legislature, and in consequence
many have made preparations to clam
with patent tongs until the close OF
the oyster season-March 31st; and
in some instances inspectors have
licensed patent tongs to that date.
The evident hardship upon clammers
in thus being cut short we feel war
rants us in not enforcing the law fol-
this season. A few years ago the
Legislature repealed the patent tong
law, after which patent tongs could
not be used even for claiming. The
last Legislature permitted their use,
during the months of October, No
vember and December, only, in the
waters of the State, and to this ex'
tent the Claiming Act of Feb. Bird
1900, is amended. A strict interpre'
tation of the law, we are sure, does
not countenance their use after De
cember 31st, even for claiming.
Respectfully,
| w. Mcdonald Lee,
Chairman State Board Fisheries.
s. Wilkins Matthews,
Secretary.

Don't Blame the Cook

If your bread and pastry is the
soggy, indigestible misery-making
kind. It's dollars to doughnuts
that the FLOUR is guilty OF the
offense.
Our -four makes light, white, de-
licious bread and pastry always.
"Poor Luck" is unknown, where
it rules the cooking. 1t insures
good results because it is uniform
in uuality-Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday and every day in the
week the BEST.
Candidly, can you afford to go on
using hap-hazard flour when our
mill-to-consumer system puts our
superior product in your home at
less expense?
We cut out the retailers profits.
We sell you flour direct at whole,
sale prices. We will save you all
those dollars that the retail dealer
has previously pocketed.
Try our method. You'll never go
back to the old way. Write us for
prices.

Wine growing population in the south

sion In government circles.
BY the terms OF the resolutions
which a half million people at Mont
pelier yesterday swore with uplifted
hands TO execute. all departmental
city, town and communal officials
must resign today. and the inhabi-
tauts refuse to pay taxes unless the
parliament affords relief.
Several mayors resigned last night

archy will prevail and civil govern
ment viii cease TO exist from the
Spanish frontier to the Rhine
The situation is all more grave be-
cause it constitutes unanimous profess
tatiun of population and. not being
accompanied by disorders, furnishes
the government no preteNt to resort
TO force.
