How We Get our Canned Fish.

The fishing parties usually stay out
from ten days to three weeks. They
carry ice with them and the moment
the fish are taken from the hook they
are cleaned and put in the ice and
kept there until they reach the cold
storage plant. They are washed as
soon as they are landed and shipped
in cold-storage at a temperature of
kets. or they may be kept for some
time before shipping.
The next step is to dip each fish
four or five times in fresh water until
it becomes entirely encased in a thin
sheet of clear ice. 1t can then be held
in cold-torage at a temperature of
four degrees below freezing until 1t
is needed for export. The fish get a
fresh coating Of ice before they are
shipped. They are then wrapped
separately in vegetable parchment
paper. and are packed in paper-lined
boxes Of S75 pounds capacity and sent
eastward in the cold storage trains

Barton Man Sued In Chicago.

James Clark King, more than so
years old, of Barton. is being sued in
Chicago for $1,000 by Mary Ellen
WEIGH of Dorchester, Mass.
This strange geographical com bina-
ton occurs through the fact that a
$4,000 trust fund, left to King by his
uncle, James c. King of Chicago. has
been in custody of the Northern Trust
Co. of Illinois, and it is this fund
which has been attached by attorneys
acting for Miss Welch, who claims
that James Clark King signed con-
tract to pay her a monthly allowance
of S75 until May Is. 1920, when he
agreed to pay her $4,000 cash, for the
support of her child, which it is al
legged, he has acknowledged to be his
King was married at the time Of the
birth, his wife dying last November.
This marriage took place 80 years
ago.
The suit results from the claim of
the plaintiff that King has failed 70
make his monthly payments; that
Se2O is now due, and that the con-
tract contained provision that, If at
any time King failed to pay any of the
provided sums, the whole sum then
would become due and collectable.
Therefore, Miss Welch sues LOT the
entire amount, which includes all
court and attorneys fees and ex-
penses.
When King inherited his fortune,
which, it is said, included a large sum
outright, beside the trust fund, ne
abandoned farming, which he had
practiced for many years outside OF
Barton, and moved into Barton, where
he lived ostentatiously and became
known as a sport While there, 1T
is said, he met Miss WEIGH, who was
working in an apron factory. Her
former home was in Montana. The
alleged contract was made after a boy
was born to the woman who is ~
years old, Dec. 5, 1910, and it bore
date of April IS, 1913. Miss WEIGH

vermont,s Experience.

1t appears that a state commission
in Vermont. after a thorough and
painstaking study Of the subject, has
recommended for the 246 Vermont
cities and towns a uniform system of
bookkeeping and accounting; but con-
siderable difficulty is being encounter
ed in getting many of the smaller
towns to adopt the recommendation
A bill making adoption obligatory on
all towns was introduced in the legis-
lature, but it's passage was held up un-
til an option clause was Inserted
and now, according to reports, the
towns propose to do exactly as they
like about it, and many of them ap-
pear disposed to ignore the UNIFORM
system idea altogether.
Which being the case. the logical
answer is that Vermont towns mani
fest a much smaller degree of pro-
gressiveness than has already shown
itself in connection with this same
matter in New Hampshire towns. sew
eral of which are prepared or prepar-
ing to try out uniform system de-
signed to take the place of the old.
haphazard, odds-and-ends idea Of
different system for every community.
Judging from sentiments which have
been expressed by residents of New
Hampshire towns, no great amount of
argument will be required to persuade
those towns to forsake the old-fash-
toned plan for the new and uniform
system-provided, of course, expert
ment proves the latter to be what is
expected of it. The st. Adams Mes
senger, evidently out of patience with
the Vermont towns which show no in
clination to adopt the uniform sys-
tenn, says:
In those towns where the public
business is looked upon as business,
to be conducted with the same thought
and care that is essential to success
in private enterprises, the change will
be made. But in those towns where
everybody's business is nobody's bust
ness and the public business is looked
upon as more or less of a joke with
no desire to hold anyone responsible
and little desire even to know how the
public funds are handled, the old sys-
tenn, which passeth all understanding,
will be held to. When the list of towns
showing those which have adopted
the new system and those which have
not is published, there will be offered
an excellent standard by which one
may judge which are and which are
not the progressive communities Of
the state.
All of which is true. of course; and
in the meantime Editor Cushing might
get more joy out of life by coming
back to his old home state of New
Hampshire, where the towns are as
eager as the cities for a system of
municipal bookkeeping and account
ing which shall make for efficiency.

In an official bulletin issued by
Headquarters, United States Marine
Corps, Washington. appears the name
of Charles w. Creaser, of this place,
as having qualified as a sharpshooter
in that most interesting branch of the
government service.
Charles. who is son of Samuel H.
Creaser of St. JohnSbury, enlisted in
the United States Marine Corps at its
Boston recruiting station on June IA,
1915. and is now serving on board the
u. S. S. South Carolina, first-line
battleship-
Considering the fact that Creaser
is scarcely more than a recruit, his
performance in gunnery is considered
by marine corps officials as little shorl
of marvellous, and they expect him to
break many craftsmanship records
before his enlistment expires.
