SHARKS TO SERVE MANKIND
Veteran Fisherman Believes That,
Properly Handled, the Meat Of
the Fish Is Edible.

Russell ]. Coles of Danville. Va,
who taught Colonel Roosevelt how to
harpoon devllfish. announced that he
has discovered a method of preventing
worldwide starvation by tests he has
carried out with regard to certain spe-
cies of the dark shark and ray family.
Mr.. Coles has just come back from
Morehead City, n. c., where he caught
n number of fish, and despite the pop
ular belief that the eating of them
would bring death in terrible form.
he decided to take the risk and he
sampled several of them. He has sent
n complete record of his findings to
Herbert Hoover in the hope that the
food administrator will incline an ear
and start the fashion of shark eating.
Mr.. Coles believes that the sides OF
the larger fish may be tanned and con-
verted into marketable leather.
After trying several methods the
Danvllle man gives the following re-
clpe for cooking shark steak:
Salt heavily for 80 minutes, soak out
In three waters, parboil a few minutes,
change water, parboll again, took
heavily seasoned and serve hot. The
amount Of seasoning must be used ac-
cordlng to the odor of the meat.

JUDGED BY HER PERSONALITY
Physical Tests Are No Longer En-
pIoyed in Making the Selection of
"Perfect Woman"

The British perfect woman has been
discovered. She is forty and the
mother of five children. There are no
statistics as to height. weight or bust
measurement. The physical features
are not the most important part,
though they are to be taken for grant
ed from an array of social and spirit
ual qualities. Here is what makes
her the perfect woman: She is in
happy circumstances, living in a beau
tiful part of the country, few miles
from a big town. She is the center of
a good home, in which there Is a
standard of cleanliness and comfort
and where good taste is everywhere
visible, in furniture. carpets, curtains,
wall paper, ornaments and clothes.
And then the description goes on to
say:
"The ideal woman is sensible and
businesslike and her home is a place
of peace She is patriotic and inter-
ested in politics. She takes walks.
rides, bicycles, climbs, dances, skates,
rows and plays games. She can ride
horse and drive a motorcar."
Thus it is the personality, not the
person. that makes the perfect woman.
One often sees where the grace and
beauty break through the fashion and
form and make even a plain person at
tractive. The latest test of the per-
feet woman is spiritual, not physical.

ATTENTION,

Mrs. Matson has received a mes
sage by wire from the vice-chairman
Of the Red Cross, calling upon Brook
ings chapter to be represented at Den
yer. Mrs. Matson says: 81 realize that
a request from the President of the
United States is equal to a command,
and regret that | cannot afford to take
this trip as the representative of the
Brookings chapter at my own expense.
Neither would | approve the sending
CT a delegate from such funds as the
local chapter has already accrued. l
therefore wish to reiterate my call for
a volunteer representative, if there is
any party in Bookings, able to finance
his own representation"
The Register wants to know if it is
not possible that a small number of
men in the city could not put up the
money to send the chairman to Den
yer? 1t would be a wise thing to do
for the sake of the chapter. 1t would
be a grand thing to do for the sake of
Brookings. Shall the citizens consider
this individually, or is it a matter for
the attention of the Commercial Club?

laws of this state. When a farmer
spends his money for seed, he is en-
titled to know just what he is getting.
The state pure seed law requires agri-
cultural seeds to be marked for purity
and termination in such a way that
the buyer will know the approximate
quality of the seeds. Occasionally an
INSCRIPTIONS person will offer weed
seed for a crop seed or will substitute
a low-priced crop seed for that of a
high-priced one.
Whenever there is a question about
the true name of a crop seed or the
impurities which it contains, a sample
should be Sent to the State college
where it will be tested by the seed
laboratory without charge. The dam
age which a noxious weed will do to
the land is frequently greater than
the value of the crop. When purchas-
ing seeds from a strange source, too
much care cannot be taken to exclude
noxious weeds.-Matthews Fowlds,

KEEP BUSINESS GOING

John Wanamaker. the great Phila-
delphia merchant. has issued the fol-
lowing appeal to the country to Keep
Business Going for Our Country's
Sake" No M ver accused John of
talking in favor of the big interests
though he is a rich man. He is one of
the kind of rich men that people have
confidence in and his words will strike

enough left over to aid Jul allies.
Our country unpfosperous, with
business hating, money boarded

hard pressed to keep food on the table
and clothing on the back.
Keep business going is a patriotic
slogan. Keep money in circulation.
Keep employment for everybody. Keep
wages good. Keep on making money
that we may have money to spend for
war sacrifices.

States.
War in itself does not cause business
depression.
The billions of dollars of money to
be expended in wal Preparations will
be put into circulation in our own
country, and this in itself will create
new wealth for use in the world strug-
gle for humanity.
The one thing trat might halt bust
ness now is an unpatriotic psychology
cal feeling of panic and a false idea
of patriotic economy.
Patriotic economy means the elimin-
alton of waste and extravaganza. 1t
a the conservation of our food
products, our natural wealth, our
health, our energies, our labor, our
very lives. 1t means putting more
efficiency in everything We do so that
each unit of money, energy and intelli-
may accomplish the utmost.
Patriotic economy does not mean the
lowering of Americas standard of liv-
ing, which would make us less eff.
cient physically and mentally nation
ally and individually, and would kill
the spirit and the will to do the truly
selfsacriicing things to be done.
Cities and communities must go on
with their civic improvements. Road
building and public works must pro-
coed. Railroads must renew their
equipment. Factories must be kept
going to their full capacity. Labor
must be employed. Homes must be
kept up. Merchandise must be produc-

This war has been extraordinary
unprecedented in many ways. and in
most of all in the number of pris-
oners taken. 1t Is hard to conceive
that there are now captive in the diff

For the first time in any war. civil.

Harte. This work was commenced on
a very small scale, but later more
funds were given. A large part of it,
l understand, has come from J. d.
Rockefeller, Jr., Cleveland H. Dodge
and the Mccormick family of Chicago.
Germany was not the only place where
this work was taken up.
Almost exactly two years ago, l
went with Mr.. Harte to the opening of
the first Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation station at the Gottengen camp
in Germany. 1t had a central hall
with a stage where recitations and per-
formances are put on. Musical in
struments are purchased for the pris-
oners. All kinds of lessons are taught,
for teachers and professors can be
found in every camp. Something has
to be done to keep the men sane, be-
cause that is becoming a grave prob
len in every land. In one camp, l am
told that not one of 80 officers remem-
bered his own name. Insanity is be-
coming more and more of a problem.
The day on which l left Berlin, A. C.
Harte wrote from Copenhagen about
the first religious service one of the
prison camps had enjoyed since their
Imprisonment about two years ago.
