For Having A Seine In His
Possession
Newark American Tribune)

Newark American Tribune)
One of the immediate results of the
arrest of the man F1enner, just east
of the city, early this week was to
get a tip of another seine.
Yesterday the wardens, Charlton
and Molinsky, appeared before Justice
Jones and field an affidavit against
Sidney Flenner, who is working in
Mt. Vernon, They went at once to
that place and found Flenner at work
in the local Pennsylvania r. r.
shops. A search of his stopping place
resulted in finding the outlawed prop
erty.
They called Justice Jones and asked
him to remain in his Office till 500
p. m. in order to arraign FlenneI.
The latter pleaded guilty to having
the seine in his possession and was
fined $25 and the costs.

Found Boy In Bed ~
Sheriff John NJ Woolison received
a call shortly after nine o'clock We'd
nesday evening to come Immediately
to Fairview, South Vernon, to assist
in locating Paul Dial, aged 10 years,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Dial, who
was reported lost. The sheriff went
to the scene with Deputy Sheriff
Mossholder. At the Bishop home he
found that about fifty neighbors had
assembled with lanterns to assist in
the search. Mrs. Dial was prostrated
and several women were tanning her
and pouring cold water on her head.
She was of the opinion that her son
had been drowned. Before starting to
the river to search for the body, the
sheriff asked if he might look through
the house to see if the boy was home.
The sheriff went to an upstairs room
and there found the boy sleeping
peacefully in his bed. The mother
was notified and joyfully took the boy
in her arms. The neighbors dispersed
and the sheriff and his deputy re-
turned home after having received the
hearty thanks of Mrs. Dial.

WE ARE GREATEST
OF MEAT EATERS
England Boasts Of Good Old Roast
Beef But Does Not Eat II
Like Americans Do.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.--Americans
are the biggest meat eaters in the
world. They beat Johnny Bull. with
all his legends about the beef Of old
England Moreover they eat mors
beef per capita than the British do.
Figures for meat-eating in 1909, just
made public by the Bureau of Animal
Industry, of the Department Of Agri-
culture, show that the per capita con-
sumption of meat for that year In the
United States, was 1920 pounds, d.
vided as follows fractions omitted)
beef, 80 pounds; veal, 4; pork. 81;
mutton and lamb. 6; goat meat, 10.
Over in England. where they boast
about good old roast beef, the per
capita for that product Is only Sc
pounds. Moreover the proportion of
beef in the total eaten by the Ameri-
can is exactly the same as for the
Britisher-47 per cent. Inhabitants of
the tight little isle" make UP their
total by eating 20 pounds of mutton a
year. as against the American s
pounds.
The Spanish are the smallest meat
eaters, their per capita consumption
being only 40 pounds. Germany's is
1f3 pounds. In both Germany and
France pork is the fayorfte meat
In view of the growing scarcity
and high prices OF cattle and swine
and their products in our markets in
recent times. 1t is well to call atten-
ton to the comparatively insignificant
part played by the bovine species In
our meat dietary" the bureau de-
clares. 1T may be seen that We con-
sumo only pounds OF mutton and
lamb per head year, which is barely
per cent of the total meat supply.
When we compare this small con-
sumption OF mutton with that of Eng
/ land. very striking contrast is pre-
scented.
Our small consumption no doubt is
mainly attributed to the exceedingly
cheap and abundant supplies of beef
and pork which have prevailed In
former years, thus rendering 1t unnec-
essary to look elsewhere for meat.
Out tuc Gay OF cheap meat Is past
and the present market prices OF food
animals point to the fact that 1t is
! becoming more and more imperative
that every available Gource of our
meat supply should be carefully de
veloped. Hence the necessity for
more sheep farming.
1T is undeniable that the sheen
species. both in the lamb stage and
when older furnishes meat of mos,
excellent quality when the animals are
suited for this purpose. Therefore the
present seems to be an opportun.
time for stockmen to pay more atten
ton TO the raising OF sheep for meat
production.
Finally. II would be In the interest
OF economy for the people generally
to cultivate a greater taste for NUT
| ton and lamb. especially the smalle,
families who require joints OF sizs
that cannot usually be supplied from
