The PROGRAM In Congress-

President Wilson and the Democrat
ic leaders in Congress have finally
reached an agreement as regards the
program of legislation at this season Of
Congress. 1t is now agreed that as
soon al a bill repeating the free tolls be-
comes a law, Congress is then 10 pass
the administration anti. trust bills and
the usual appropriations and then go
home and repair their political fences.
President Wilson was particularly
anxious that a bill should be passed es-
tablishing banks of farm credits but it
is realized by all that the prolonged de-
bate on the Panama Canal tolls and the
unforeseen developments in the Mexi-
car situation have rendered it impossi-
BILE for Congress TO carry out the full
desire of the President. However, the
farm credit or rural credit bill will
have the right of way when Congress
meets next December. 1t is even ar
gued by some that the rural credit
banks should follow the establishment
of the new currehcy system of regional
banks now being established so that the
rural credit banks Can be made to ft
into and harmonic with regional
banks.

How To Hold Home Trade

One principal way by which mail or
der houses often get the better of home
merchants is thru the medium of large
illustrated catalogs that find their way
into almost every home two or three
times a year. 1t costs a small fortune to
print and mail these catalogs, but the
fact that they exist is the surest proof
that it pays to have them. Of course
no local merchant can afford to get out
such a catalog, nor is it necessary. He
secure the same results in his
home paper but to do it he must adyer-
tise generously and attractively, and
then make good in the quality and
price OF his goods. In doing so he can
beat the mail order house at their own
game. To be sure there are in every
community people who will always buy
OF a small order house even if they get
fooled by doing so, as many do, because
it is a mania with them. But the
great majority of buyers would rather
trade at home if assured they can get
what they want, and it is up to the
local business men to meat that want.

Home Conservation Needed

A new despatch from New Castle.
DEL, states that the fishermen there are
surprised that nothing has been done to
stock the Delaware River with stur-
geon. Some years ago after the return
Of Horace 6. Knowles, to Wilmington,
from Bulgaria, where lie had been con-
sui, an agitltation was started to have
the spawn of European sturgeon
brought from the Danube river. where
they grow vely large.
What is the use of propagating for
eign sturgeon in the Delaware river
when New Castle docs not believe in
conserving the natural Way Of propagat-
ing sturgeon? New Jersey and Penn
sylyanla some years ago passed a law
prohibiting the catching of sturgeon
after July l. The Delaware legislature
dld not concur in having a closing
season TO allowing the natural spawning
OF h sturgeon i'll the river, because
The influential political fishermen at
New Castle and Delaware City cared
more for catching all the few sturgeon
during July and August than for con-
serving sturgeon fishing as an industry,
Now they are surprised that no one is
doing anything, when they can dc
something themselves to continue a
profitable industry.
Because Delaware would not concur
in the closing season, New Jersey gave
it up, because Jersey fl hermen were
prohibited from catching sturgeon
while Delaware fishermen continued tc
fish.
Learning the old proverb, "The Lore
helps those who help themselves" i.

To Protect The Sturgeon

From The Scientific American.
In his last annual report the United
States Commissioner of Fisheries says
that "the story of the surgeons is one
OF The most distressing i'll the whole his
tory Of The American fisheries" For
years these large, inoffensive fishes were
supposed to be of nc value, and when,
as often happened, they became ell
tangled III fshermen's nets, they were
knocked on the head and thrown back
into the water. When it was discover
gu that the surgeons eggs were valu-
able as caviar and its flesh as a food a
period OF reckless fishing began and in
a few years the best and most prOduc
tive waters were depleted, and what
should have been made a permanent
fishery of great profit was destroyed.
On the Atlantic coast the catch OF
sturgeon fell from 1000, 900 pounds
to less than LOCO, 600 in Is years, and
an even more rapid decline occurred on
the Pacific coast and the Great Lakes.
AT present the total annual yield fol
the whole country is less than 1000. OOO
pounds and is decreasing.
Meanwhile the demand for the egqs
and flesh has steadily increased. with
the natural result Oh prices. A mature
female sturgeon now often brings more
than $50. The worst of The situation
is the fact that all attempts at artificial
propagation have failed; so that unless
prompt steps are taken to protect the
sturgeon by law, this fish will be prac-
ideally extinct in American waters in a
very few years. The Commissioner
recommends that the Legislatures of oil
States III which the fish exists or has
existed should absolutely prohibit its
capture or sale for a period of at least
III years. Meanwhile the Bureau of
Fisheries propose to transplant into our
waters young surgeons from foreign
countries: especially a species from the
Danube and the Caspian Sea-, speci-
mems of which have been offered by the
Rumauian Government.
