SMITH AGREES
Belrians in a Dilemma

The Hague, Netherlands March l5
 Special. )-Some alterations have been made in the position of the electrically charged wire barrier on the frontier of the Dutch province of Zealand, the in- cidental effect of which is that various houses and farms really situated in Bel gium are left out on the Dutch side of the wires. The persons affected are thus involved in no inconsiderable difficulties and complications, for while on the one hand they are cut off from any relations with Belgium. on the other number of wares whose export from Holland Is for bidden may not be delivered to them from the Dutch side. Moreover, tho sale of their agricultural produce and cattle is attended with great trouble owing to the singular position in which they find themselves placed. Endeavors will be made to arrive at some special tenn porary arrangement for getting out of this dilemma.

OYSTER LESSEES
IN ARREARS

Not Paid Rent.

Chairman Kemp, of the Conserva-
tion Commission, stated yesterday
that the Commission had discovered
that a large number of lessees of oys-
ter lands had failed to pay rent due

ment of his account, inclosed in a

I'VE are anxious to collect as much
State, and we hope the lessees will
done the best We can in collecting

morning that the commission next
Thursday, at 10 O'Clock, will have a
public conference with representa-
tives of the several sportsmen' and
game protective associations with re-
spect to the practical enforcement of

in the preservation of game before
mapping out a general policy. E. Lee
LeCompte, the State Game Warden;
James P. Curley, who recently re-
tired from that office; Talbot Den

Why A $4,000
Man Got Fired

In the July Woman's Home Com
panion is the following story of how
and why a $4,000 man got fired:
"A big commercial house in the
Middle West raised the salary of one
of it's officers to $4,000 a year.
1.-The officer was greatly pleased.
Now my ambition is satisfied he
said
within two years the concern had
found way to dispense with this of
ficer's services. 1t was done cleverly
and smoothly; the man never sus-
pected the real reason why he was re-
leased.
THE head of the concern had over
heard his remark. We want no men
in this business whose ambition is
satisfied he said. When a man is
satisfied, when he ceases to plan and
fight for the future, we begin to lose
money on him."

READ THIS, YE COSSIPS!

To the Editor:
Sir.-The jingle below was sugges-

street car the other morning:
THEY SAY
They say is used by Gossip to pre-
face her idle tales,
To make a lie resemble truth, about
whom she assails.
Ii she could only see herself as she
is seen by me,
She'd change Puck's aphorism to
What fools we gossips be-"
CONVERSATION
They say that Mrs. A. indulges in a
social cup
That she is brought home in cab,
quite frequently ''lit up;''
That Mr.. B. who lives next door has
bought a limousine,
That he has mortgaged home and
land to pay for the machine.
They say that pretty Mrs. C. is in the
social swim,
That she met some old festive"guy,"
and welded on to him;
That Mr.. D. the temperance man, is
boozi4g -e+ery night.
That he comes home all 'barreied
up" and starts family fight
They say that Mollie E. is fast and
not what she ought to be,
That paint and powder make of her
fright you ought to see;
That Mr.. F. has left his wife and SUI
ing for divorce,
That some "old friend broke up his
home same old way,o course.
They say that Mr.. G.. has sailed with
pocket full of cash,
That he is now a great deal richer
than before the smash;
That Mrs. G., his wife, owes bills
collector calls each day,
That for the frockS and hats she
wears, a cent she will not pay.
They say that Mrs. H. owes rent, al
so the butchers bill,
That she buys on the installment
plan, and dresses fit to kill;
That all the kids" are awful bad,
who live within the square,
That mothers give them no attention,
and don't seem to care.
They say that the whole neighbor-
hood is getting on the bum"
That in a very little while twill go
to Kingdom come"
That gossip rules this little world
with an unyiefding sway,
That there's the place for gossip, and
there will gossip stay.
L'ENVOI.
oh, could write from now until the
break of judgment day
About what Gossip circulates, begin
ming with r:'They say"
Nine times in ten she frames up lies
to ruin one for spite
Against whom there's a grievance for
an inadvertent slight.
l have one more word to say, and,
Gossip, that's to you-
Attend to your own home affairs
tits all that you can do;
Observe the Ninth Commandment,
and the Golden Rule as we'll
Cut out your idle meddling, and the
fairy tales you tell.

If TOO LAZY TO WORK
DON'T TRY FISHING
A Lazy Man is Not Usually a Sue
cessful Fishelman-Patienc is Al
SO a Very Necessary Qualification.

Some people are of the belief that
fishing is lazy mans job, but these
are generally ones who have never
tried the sport, for those who have
had the least experience know that in
order for one to become a successful
fisherman he must not only have en-
ergy, but he must have patience
two very important elements of sue
cess in this world.
So many of the business men of
today think they are so busy with
their daily and official affairs that
they have no time to devote to a
days outing once in while, where
they might get the cob-webs from
their brain.
He who has never enjoyed a day
with the reel and rod, has missed
much of life. There is nothing so
enhancing and so restful to the tired
mind and nerve-racked body as a
day of successful fishing on some
quiet and scenic river.
Who is there with Imagination so
dead, with appreciation SO dulled,
who does not thrill at the thot of a
singing reel and a taut line, as the
fish is coaXed from his home beneath
the moss-cOvered rock or thegnarled
stumps, which is shadowed by the
trees overhead? Such thots and
scenes as these have inspired many
of our great poets to produce their
masterpieces.
