FISHERMEN WORTH
THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD

Grimsby, England, Feb %. -
Good fishermen are worth almost
their weight in gold here, so scarce
have they become since the wars
outbreak Notwithstanding the min
ing Of SO many parts Of the North
Sea and other waters adjacent to the
British Isles the industry has suf-
fereG no decline. There are just as
many fish and the demand for them
in catching them is due to the fact
that so many fishermen and their
boats have been pressed into the
Royal Naval Reserve Traw'er Sec
ton to man the mine sWeepers and
other vessels on war service
The original team-fishing fleet
here, which in peace times numbered
more than 600 vessels, has been ma
terially depleted The type of fish
erman has undergone change, COM
prising largely the class of man who
works only when necessity demands
Trawler owners are Offering big
wages to good fishermen, the highest
in years along the English coast and
the decrease in the number of traw-
lers available for fishing has had the
effect of creating a financial boom
not been interfered with by the ad-
miralty. Voyages are now profitable
in the widest sense of the term
Prices for fish have more than quad
rupled and with the continuous shor-
tage, due not only to the naval re-
quirements in regard to vessels, but

MATRIMONIAL TIES
HELD LIGHTLY

Berlin, Feb. 2S.-Age plays lit
tie part in the matrimonial plans of
a good many Berliners, ACCORDING to
statistics of the last fiscal year just
made public. Eleven of the bride
grooms had not completed their
18th year. The oldest bridegroom
was 50; widow who gave her age
as "over seventy" took as husband
man of forty; one of 81 found her
fate in man of 30; and another of
40 married man of 81.
One bridegroom of GO took a bride
of II; another of ~ found a IT
year-old wife; and a gray beard of
70 married girl of 81 years The
youngest widow entering upon her
second wifehood was just IS years
old.
Appended to the report regarding
marriages are reports about divorce
and birth. Sixteen marriages were
dissolved in less than year; Is less
than two years, and 1874 in the third
year. Fourteen couples who had al
ready celebrated their silves we'd
dings were parted, two couples were
divorced after 40 years of married
life, and one couple after II years.
The surprising feature of the birth
record is the large proportion, almost
80 per cent, of fllegitimate children
A total of 81 1926 legitimate children
were born during the year, and 9,512
illegitimate

Louis Torres, motorcycle racer. is
being sued for divorce by his bride
of two months, who was Miss Fran
ces Elizabeth Jordan, of Barlow. The

late on the night OF Dec. Is, the

We are surprised and distressed to
note that the Times-Union, to which
we have all pointed with pride as
not merely a leading newspaper, but
as an institution, solid, imperturb-
able, monumental, is so excited at
the prospect of lively campaign in
Florida this summer that it predicts
a condition almost resembling cruel
war and says that somebody is going
to be killed in the row. We had
looked for more poise and strength
in our leading journal There will
be a killing all right, and a big one,
but ii will be bloodless and the date
of the primary will be the date of
the killing, with ballots for bullets.
Let the T.-U. lay aside its role as a
prophet of war and woe and resume
its calm and academic discussion of
the issues. for it sees red when there
is no red and mistakes the fierce,
but harmless fiatulence of ravenous
partisans for the thunder of real
guns loaded with real ammunition
The people of Florida have too much
sshorse sense" to lose their heads and
be provoked into killing each other
over any issues now in sight or that
can be injected into the campaign

THE LAKELAND NEWS,

"RATTLED FOR FAIR"

In view of the presidential cam

the attitude of the Republican lead
ers, that brings a smile to the philo-
sophie observer, welcome enough in
this time of our grave foreign rela

great war over the whole world
The aforesaid leaders are plainly
ratified. They have neither the man
nor the issue to meet Woodrow Will
son and his record, and their gyra-
tions and contortions. their Shrek
ings and mouthines, their clumsy eff
forts to distort facts, construct false
issues and throw dust in the eyes
of the dear people, are so obvious
that only blind partisans can be de
ceived by them while the rest of us
catch the fun Of the situation.
The G. O. p is simply in hole,
a deep hole, with smooth perpendi-
cular sides, and its efforts to scram-
bic out touch our sense Of humor
Roots Keynote" speech has been
torn to shreds and scattered to the
winds by the critical intelligence of
the country as merely the obvious
sophistries of shrewd lawyer plead

grossly false and fragrant in his
Misrepresentation of President Will
son and his foreign policy that what
he says no longer carries weight, and
the country Is weary of his pumped
up strenuosity and his incessant
posing.
The other Republican Leaders
most of them candidates for The pres
idency, are all mediocr/men with
