CoDFIsHING IN ALASKAN WATERS
Dear Households: / want to tell you about
trip I had along the Pacific coast I know
that you have seen salmon packing, so I will
tell you about the goldfish used to think
that Massachusetts, handled all of that fish,
but about six million pounds come from the
Pacific coast The packing is done in the state
of Washington, and little town ON the
straits of San Juan de Fuca packs more than
half Of the Goldfish captured in Boring sea
and other Alaskan waters.
The fishermen of the Pacific coast do moth
ing but catch fish, there are other gangs
who "dress'' them. They are drysalted, split
and packed in the hold Of the vessel, and before
they reach the packing plant they lose about
Ont-third OF their weight.
The season lasts about five months and
some OF the experts make five and six hun
dred dollars. As all their expenses are paid by
the company this is clear profit. The largest
Alaskan Goldfish weighs about % pounds The
plant 1 saw Is said to be a model. and en-
ploys about fifty men and women the year

DOING THE BEST WE CAN

Dear Household: Father Time has closed an
other volume Of the past, he has given it into
the keeping Of the angels and we are only to
turn it's pages occasionally for we have a new,
fair volume to take charge OF, and there is no
use dwelling too much the past. Let us
only take moment to see how we spent these
last holidays and find out II we lived those
golden hours in vain7
Congratulations are for all who have done
the best we could, but how many Of us can
really say that? But IL we have not, IL In
the record we see little that really amounts TO
much we must not despair. The glory Of the
Lord is everywhere, the lowly flowers, dust
laden show his watch care, and just as they rise
out Of the dust and bravely meet each day 50
we may rise out Of our failures and start this
new year anew.
"Ah, yes If we scatter sunshine
While we tread the sands of time.
II we turn some erring one
Ere the setting OF life's sun.
The years may come. the years may go,
The storms of life may bring us low,
But far beyond the starry plain
Wen surely find we've not lived in vain.
Doing every day the best we can is all
that any Of us may set our hopes on, but
how many Of US really do thatf
