The government should conserve the
health of its citizens. The spirit shown
by the Optimist Club lifts great share
of the burden from many a shoulder on
account of the little ones being sent
away from the torrid heat. If ii could
be lifted from thousands 1t would be all
the more glorious. The spirit of broth

There is nothing so conducive to right
living than the knowledge that we are
responsible for the success OF some one
thing. Be it the care of some one de-
pendent upon US. the business intrusted
to US to be executed. or anything that

are of some use, that there is something

Every one. if true to himself, soon
learns that he has responsibilities OF
some kind, and certainly. he who shirks
them or disobeys his conscience must
eventually find himself estranged in this
old world of ours which is held together
by the obedience of its physical and So
cial laws. Then let US look within. rec
Ognize our obligations. and strengthened
by optimism, meet them face to face!

Idleness is the bane OF body and mind,
the chief author OF all mischief. one of
the seven deadly sins. and the cushion
upon which the devil chiefly reposes. The
mind is naturally active and If not occu-
pied about some honest business. it
rushes into mischief or sinks into melan-
eholy, so wisdom says assume the re-
sponsibility allotted to US and on to duty
which commands Us to look neither TO
the right nor left. but straight onward
Hence every act is that of faith and is
performed with the assurance that God
will take care of the consequences.
Mrs. NJ. ALICE BUTLER
Every one is born TO some degree of
responsibility In this world, and there

Of the majority to have responsibilities

Every life. whether living in glorious
youth or tottering beneath the weight
of years, has some kind of responsible
ty which they must bear; that response
bility may be of a trivial nature. or it
may be of vast importance, but as we
go through life we will find that in its
springtime our responsibilities will be
light. and as we grow older. and the fall
of life sets in, the responsibilities we
now have, and the responsibilities We
have passed through will have aided the
years in making our heads gray.

CATCHING FISH IN BAsKEFG
An Easy Method Which Obtained
Around the Bay Of Fundy.

Tho Bay OF Fundy has always been
Q famous fishing ground especially
4or salmon and 0had. Fifty yeSSs
ago the fish were 30 plentiful that q
method was used 20 catch them
which seem5 0dd nowadays when .
1sh has ut least half chance to es-
cape the hook or the net.
The tide rises high in the Bay OF
Fundy and its headwaters. and OF
this fact the fishermen OF hfty years
ago took full advantage. At high
side the water makes stable rivers
OF tiny streams. Large schools OF
shad ami other 6sh in those days
came up the river with the tide.
The method Of catching them wac
simple In the extreme. At low tide
. seine would be staked to the river
bed and The top or the seine weight
cd to the bottom with leads. Then
after the tide had risen the fisher
men would pull up the seine 80 that
1t formed a barrier across the entire
silver bed.
Wnen the tide began to run out
the fish would and their return to
ehe sea and freedom barred effect
lively. The little fellows, OF course,
would make their way through the
seine. but the ones worth catching
would hop impotently against the
ueshes.
Soon the tlde would be out COM
pletely. leaving only foot of water
In the river. Several thousand fish
would be there for the taking. A
pair of rubber boots and s basket
would be sufficient equipment for
the fishermen, who waded out anc
gathered them In wholesale.
The ash don't run up the rivera
any more, and the seining must os
ione in the bay Itself. This is prof
itable. it Is true. bat fish with half
. head can avoid capture for long
&ime.
