that have been taught that necessity

mankind on Indian river, a great arm
of the sea limited with inlets, in order
to have a life long fish industry.
We all have a weakness in some
thing. You will find mine in the pro-
lection of mullet. Yearling mullet
must have a closed season twelve
months in year. The only way to
secure it is in using four-inch mesh.
The law should be principally in the
mesh for protection.
If Mr.. Hagy's craze runs in the
catching of yearling mullet, then the
enormous catch of fish that feed on
mullet by the use of the seine is a
saving or a protection of yearling
mullet for the gill net to catch.
Knowing but little about the habits
of fish, insist that there must be
fish to feed on the ground and that
won't be long without protection if
yearling mullet are caught.

cannonading was demOralizing while
the infantry did the Strengthening.

moralizing but great protector and

less than three hours time, with a

than three hours every night for two
