Washington postoffice patrons would be
interested in a plan that would permit
them TO make a saving of half the cost
of their meat bills. Today he wrote to
Mr.. Fisher as follows:
Il am interested in the proposition and
am anxious to ascertain how soon your
tish will reach Washington after being
caught and dressed.
Please advise me at once when the
fish is IifteI from the ocean. and how
soon after being lifted YOU will have 1t
ready for shipment What time does
the mail on which the fish would be
shipped leave Lavelette? Are your fish
iced before shipping? This is an i'm
portant feature. because I understand
that fish not iced win remain fresh
longer, in the main, than fish having
been iced and then prepared for ship
ment. Please name kinds Of fish you
will have to sell and the average weight.
Will you use metal or corrugated paste

VALUABLE DEVICE
Charles ,Beaujon's Invention for Putting Up Barb Wire Fence

Up Barb Wire Fence ,t ...
 Charles J. Beaujon has invented a device for stringing and taking down barb-wire fencing, which seems des- tined to fill want that has long been felt by farmers and other land owners generally who have any use at all for barb-wire fencing. The device consists of steel shaft, with crank upon which the spool of barb wire is ' securely clamped; guard, fastened by one end, swinging over the spool to prevent the wire from unwinding tso rapidly or giving too much slack. In operation the device is carried by two men and the work of stringing wire can be done practically as fast as the men can walk and drive the staples, and the danger of being pricked, cut and having cloth ing torn by the barbs is reduced to a minimum. ,h
 Any person who has attempted to string barb wire fence will readily ap- preciate the benefit of this device, and when it is introduced on the market it will be surprising if the Beaujon in- vention does not spring into instant de- mand and popularity. A patent on the device is pending. Tn the mean time MT. Beaujon is demonstrating the advantages of his invention in various places about town. -..a.
