Redheld on Paper Situation

Secretary of Commerce Redfield. in a
statement yesterday regarding the ris-
ing cost of everything entering into
the production of a newspaper, said:
The cost of paper stock of all kinds
is higher because importations of it
nave nearly stopped, and we drew about
half our supply from abroad. There is
an embargo on shipments of pulp from
Sweden, which. though released in
specific shipments from time to time,
nevertheless has its effect upon the
market as a whole. Shipments of paper
pulp from Norway are delayed by lack
of shipping, which, of course, affects,
in a measure, also such shipments as
are released from Sweden. The pro-
duction of certain kinds of pulp in this
country is not, l believe, sufficient to
meet the demand. While our own ef-
forts to develop the saving of many
thousands of tons of paper materials or
all kinds now wasted in this country
has had a very encouraging response.
am sure 1t cannot be said to have re-
leased the paper maker from anxiety
on this account.
In brief. the paper manufacturer
finds himself facing an increased cost
Of materials. together with an Increased
cost of labor, without any visible or
easy method of increasing his output
proportionately and with a greatly in
creased cost in the price of the chemi-
calls and colors which he must use.

FEDERAL AID FOR ANGLERS
By Frederic J. Haskin

land upon which is lake about two
miles wide. This owner has gone in
for commercial fish production on a
large scale. He has placed the prop
erty in the hands of an expert, and a
series of small ponds are being con-
'structed along the lake shore for the
propagation of bass and perch to be
sold in the market.
An idea of how rapidly fish will
reproduce may he gained from the
experience of Carl H. Thompson, of
Warren, Indiana. He constructed a
pond 120 feet long by sixty feet wide
and four to six feet deep, in which he
released four pair of small mouth
black bass. Fifteen months later he
took out 1917 bass which averaged a
pound in weight, while in addition
there were a number of yellow perch
that had slipped in accidentally.
If you wish to obtain from the gov
ernment, fish with which to stock a
private pond, you will be required by
the fish commissioner to give an ex-
act description of the body of water
which you propose to stock, including
its depth, size. summer temperature,
vegetation, and various other matters.
The kind of fish which you can raise
depends entirely upon these condi-
tions. Generally speaking, the more
desirable species require clearer and
colder water, and many inland dwell
erS are unable to raise any of the game
fish, such as bass or perch, because
of the high summer temperatures,
and lack of a cold water supply. Fish
of a lower type, however, will survive
and grow under almost any condi-
tions. Thus carp can be raised in all
parts of the country. The fish COM
missioners have recently been making
a study of the buffalo fish, a denizen
of the muddy western rivers belong
ing to the sucker family.
Although not game fish, and not
as delicately favored as bass and
perch. the buffalo will thrive almost
anywhere, and he is very likely to
become the most popular farm fish"
of America.
The game fish of many small
streams are dependent upon constant
restocking, and especially is this true
of the brook trout. Recently rain
introduced into some of the Allegheny
streams where the native trout had
been eXterminated, and they are now
rapidly multiplying. Their presence
has been reported in a number of
small streams near WytheWlle, Vir-
ginia. ,
Another experiment of this sort
proved itself successful this year when
q good sized catch of humpback sal
mon was reported from the Penob-
scot river in Maine. The humpbacll
salmon is a native of the Pacific coast.
and was introduced into the Atlantic
few years ago.

The Panama Canal

OF a total of 1875 vessels passing
through the Panama Canal from the
opening of the canal to commercial
traffic on August Is. 1914. to July or
the present year. s22 vessels were OF
British nationality while 100 were ves-
sells registered under the flag of the
United States. according to a compila-
tion recently prepared by the canal au-
thorities The vessels of these two ma
tions. it will be noted, comprise over so
per cent. of all the ships making use OF
the canal. OF the other 20 per cent. So
were Norwegian vessels. 6s Chilean. AZ
Danish, and 80 Japanese. 1t is not ap-
parent that shipping conditions, in so
far as the nationality of the vessels
using the canal is concerned, have
varied appreciably since the canal was
6rst oDeTed to traffic.

Weapon of Defense is Tariff
IFrom the PHILADELPHIA Inquirer

Blacklisting of certain American
firms is but an incident of organized
attempts that will be made after the
war by the Allies not only to protect
their commerce, but to hit at Ger
many. The United States is stacked
with gold and all Europe wants it.
To get it goods ir vast quantities must
be sold in this country. That they will
be dumped upon us cannot be doubted
if the invasion of our markets which
the Wilson, Underwood tariff law pro-
vides for is permitted. The one great
weapon of defense is the protective
duty. 1t has been laid aside by this
administration. 1t must be taken up
again If we are to maintain prosperity.

TIME United States Bureau of Fish
cries is now having construct
Il ed a large all-steel car, which
is to be the most perfect vehicle for
the rapid distribution of live fish that
it is possible to build. For years the
Bureau has been shipping fry ana
angerlings all over the United States
by means of half-a-dozen old wooden
cars. This new steel vehicle, which is
sixty feet long and will carry some
seventeen tons, will be great addl-
ton to its facilities for distribution.
This increased carrying capacity Will
almost certainly be taxed by a new un-
dertaking of the fish commissioners
BY means of the bulletins which the
Bureau publishes, and every other aV-
enue of publicity open to them, they
have been urging American farmers
and small town and country dwellers
generally, to take up the cultivation OF
fish on their own premises. To any
individual who is able to show that he
has a pond suitable for the propaga-
ton of fish, the government will fur
nish fry or fingerlings of the proper
species.
The arguments in favor of private
fish culture are unanSwerable. In
the first place it is not an expensive
undertaking. On nearly every coun-
try place there is a bit of land which
is not used for anything else, and to
which water may be brought from
scme spring or stream. The excava-
ton or building in many cases
will not cost more than twenty-five
or thirty dollars. The pond may often
be used for irrigation or for water
ing stock as we'll as for fish,
The raising of fish on farms is an
ancient industry which has not been
neglected in any of the older coun-
tries. In Germany and Austria many
of the small landowners raise fish and
many Austrian villages have NUM-
cipal fish ponds. In the Philippines
the industry has been carried on for
a long time, especially on the low
lands about Manila Bay, where there
are aquatic properties valued at SS,-
100000.
Some of the State fish commission
ers have been trying to encourage
private fish culture Cor many years,
and there are successful fish farmers
scattered all over the United States.
A typical small producer is
Samuel Bailey, of Kansas. who has a
fish pond on top of a hill, where he
supplies it with water by means OF a
wind mill. 1t has an area of only a
quarter of an acre. and cost only about
s25 to dig, but it is abundantly stock
ed with bull pout Ga small cathsh)
and crappie, and will soon be yield
ing an abundant harvest of fish in ad-
dition to irrigating the family garden.

dertaken in Columbia County, New
York. by a man who owns a piece of

MIR. HUGHES ACCEPTANCE

A MERICA first and America eff
"A ciont,"
In his speech OF acceptance
last night Candidate Hughes set forth
in those five words the thought and the
hope of every patriotic American.
America first and America efti-
cient."
Democrats and Republicans alike
are patriotic, but patriotism without
efficiency is vain and barren of good
results. England is paying every day
for her inefficiency in military affairs
when the war broke out. China is pay
ing a frightful price for industrial in
efficiency in the face of Russian and
Japanese aggression. so Is America
now paying the price of military in
efficiency at the Mexican border and
when the European war is at an end,
unless there be a radical change in
tho policies of the government at
Washington, we shall pay heavily for
inefficiency of industrial legislation
with which to meet the wave Of Eu-
ropean competition that is certain to
come.
Mr.. Hughes speech is forceful, clear
cut and comprehensive. He goes on
record fearlessly and convincingly with
respect to every issue now before the
people, and he glimpses the future
with an eye that marks him as
statesman of the first rank. There is
left no doubt where Mr.. Hughes stands
with relation to any public question.
His address is free from wild promises
and it teens with common sense. 1t
orists, but it meets every question that
the average, everyday American has
raised in his own mind with regard to
the conduct of the nations affairs dur
ing the trying days of the present and
in that misty future following the set
tlement of European differences.
Even Democrats must admit with
Mr.. Hughes the lamentable failure of
the policy of the administration in
Mexico, with it's sacrifice OF property
and loss of human life. 1t is perfect
ly evident that the weakened stand
of the President with respect to the
rights of neutrals at the outstart of
the European war was directly respon-
sible for the sinking of the Lusitania.
Mr.. Hughes unvarnished recitals of
the governments dismal efforts to
pacify Mexico, it's wretched backing
and filling abroad, its Juggling with the
diplomatic and civil services for politi-
cal purposes, its vain promise to reduce
the high cost of living, its shifting
from self complacency with regard to
preparedness to the extreme almost of
militarism. its right-about-face on the
tariff question, it's frightful extrava-
gance in Office and it's utter failure to
make good in any respect are not
pleasant reading. But nobody can
deny their truth. Mr.. Hughes has set
forth clearly and fearlessly conditions
as they exist and has pointed the
remedy. It is efficiency.
Nobody has questioned the patriot
ism of the President 1t is his inabil-
ity to put the country on an efficient
basis with respect to any of the prob
lens with which it is confronted that
has marked him and the Democratic
Congress for defeat and it is Candidate
Hughes who has sounded the call to
arms and has marked out the cam
paign that will lead to a new day at
Was will give US an
America efficient as we'll as patriotic.
