The name dogfish applied to a fish
similar to the shark, but somewhat
smaller, which has so long troubled
fishermen by eating cod, haddock,
and other palatable fish, will be
changed to greyfish, as it has been
found the dogfish can be eaten and
enjoyed but the name dogfish has
frightened people and they have not
dared to partake of them The Hon
orable Luther Maddox Of Boothbay
Harbor, says: 'Dogfish is not merely
food that can be eaten, it is de-
licious. 1t compares favorably with
halibut, haddock and other standard
flesh and 1 feel safe in saying that
under the name grayfish there will
soon be big demand for it. l am
using it on my table in some form
every day and all who have eaten
the Srayfish are enthusiastic over it,"
This is of especial interest to the
people of Harnswoll as so mahy dog
fish have been caught in the nearby
waters. DR.. w. H. Lewis of Johns
Hopkins, who is now stay ing here for
the summer, has tried them and de-
clared they taste midway between a
cod and a mackerel. Cheer up, we
will be fishing for grayfish and hop
ing to get them soon.

H., and Mrs. George A. Elliott of
East Rochester, N. H., sisters, are

Miss A. L. Reed and Mrs. E. R.
Humphrey of Cambridge, Mass, regu-
