Captain w. Mcdonald Lee former fish COM
missioner of Virginia, is optimistic as to the
future OF the fishing business He Is not only
sure that more food fish will be consumed as
the years go by but that in addition many
varieties OF denizens of the deep will find favor
on the dining table even of the most discrimi-
rating OF epicures This is good news, and
what is to the point, there is great
deal of logic in what Captain Lee says. Frog
legs and snai!s are eaten by Frenchrnen, Japan
csc Chinese, Portuguese and Italians eat octopi
from the Gulf of Mexico, while our good Yankee

being the case, there is hope then for the conch

Tie End of the agifafor.

Is II moi true that only few months ago we
were drifting toward a war with Japan, merely
because certain portions nf our people had been
unwise enough to give certain persons the SEEM

ss without fear. but would It not be horrible
to find such people slaughtering each other
merely because some Of had been unm-se
enough to put unfit and incapable men into

would, and surely from this fact it might be
well to accept st warning against like dangers in
the future

themselves as Christians attached TO
no denomination. These were added
to the Anglican returns in 1901, but
IN 1911 those who returned themselves
as attached to no denomination were

at a comparison between the Anglican
