CAN SUCH Things BE-" A Belfast citizen
saw something the other day which excited
his interest, and which it would not be difficult
to explain. A man, evidently excited, rushed
out of his place of business and thrusting two
or more fingers into his mouth emitted shrill
and piercing whistle. This brought an evil
IDENTIFY excited man out of his place of bus-
ness farther down the street. The first man
then held up two fingers and waved his hand
in the direction of his store. The second man
thereupon made hasty retreat into his place,
and soon after two officers of the law made
their appearance. They had been searching
for contraband but made what the fishermen
call a water haul" There was another Curl
Gus incident in the same line. In the evening
the officers had visited place and made an
unsuccessful search. Later the place was en-
tered and the nocturnal visitor had no diff

THE SARpINE SITUATION. Reports as to
conditions in the sardine industry are conflict
ing Earlier in the season we were told that
the pack last season greatly exceeded the de-
mand, and in consequence prices were low, and
the scarcity of fish at the opening of the sea-
son therefore did not worry the packers. Now
press dispatch from Eastport (date line
changed to Belfast in one paper) says "The
neglect of the herring schools to visit the
coast of Maine with their accustomed fire.
quency this year has resulted in shortage OF
the canning supply which threatens to send up
the price of sardines for the year 1919 And
further: The Gamers usually plan to close
the season with supply of two million cases
in stock, but this year, even with the 100000
cases carried over, there appears little pros
pect of securing the normal products" This,
as will b. seen, conflicts with the earlier adj
vices. As to the local situation we can say
that the plant here has not can of last year S
stock on hand and did not get its full supply of
fish last year until later than this. Capt. John
Ryder who commands the steamer which
brings the fish here from Castine, did not make
