As a measure of economy in the
present period of high prices of food.
stuffs, and as contribution to the
conservation of the food supply
which is one OF the country's urgent
needs, the bureau of fisheries urges
housewives, particularly those living
near streams and lakes or the sea.
shore, to preserve fish for home con-
sumption.
The fish can be bought when they
are cheap, during times Of plenty, and
held for use during the winter, when
ordinarily, prices are high. In many
cases waste fishes, which because Of
prejudice or ignorance are not placed
on the market, may be bought for lit.

from the fishermen for the asking
Practically all fishes are edible, and
purchasers should not be deferred
from buying them on account of their
unattractive appearance. Some of the
ugliest are among the best.
Two Easy Methods.
Two easy methods of preserving,
namely, canning and sailing, are avail
able to housewives. To be sure OF
success the methods here described
should be carefully followed.
When using coarse-scaled, thick
skinned fishes, cut off the fms or make
an incision on each side of the fin and
pull it out. Make an incision through
the skin along the back, another along
the belly, and connect these two by
third encircling the body just be.

hook or sharpened nail driven
through plank; take hold Of the skin

Chance for Large Profits Leads
Farmers Away From United
States.
THE LURE OF CANADIAN LANDS

Washington, April 5.-The lure of
Canadian land, which has led many
an American farmer into the prov
inces of the north, may be investigat-
ed by the federal authorities in
Washington. The fact that the land
advertising campaign Of the Canadian
government cost $4,000 vast year
and that an organized effort has been
made through the newspapers Of the
country to induce the farmers Of
America to settle on the free farming
land of the dominion has been the
subject OF much comment in Con-
gress.
1t is understood that the Canadian
Northern railway, which is said to
traverse the most profitable farming
region Of Canada, has been one Of the
biggest private advertisers In this
campaign. However. in this case in
the absence of any misleading state
ments 1t is said there Is no govern
ment authority to prevent American
newspapers from carrying these ad-
vertisements.
The claims which have been con-
sistently been made for the farming

AFRAID OF ROOSEVELT.

Former Governor William Spry intimates that Presi-
dent Wilson is afraid of Theodore Roosevelt, in
quence of which he will not permit him to distinguish
himself at the head of army to be sent to Europe The
former governor says there to believe that Pres
iden Wilson is aspiring for third term which leads him
to look askance at the big colonel 1t is well known that
the president has gone to most any depths for politics.
but it hardly thought that this early in the game he
would be getting his hat trimmed to cast it in the ring
for third term Some politician, this Wilson.
AS to Colonel Roosevelt going to the front there is
question if vote taken he would be sustained in
his desires overwhelmingly, President Wilson nothwith
standing great many influential papers and maya
zines urging that he be allowed to CO. Felix Shay,
the distinguished editor Of The Fra speaks of the matter
this way
When Lafayette dropped anchor at Georgetown,
S. c.. in 1777 he had with him eleven compan-
IONS" Yet the Colonies much cheered. He
gave New Courage" There's moral and psyche
logical side to joining the Allies in France at the
earliest possible date, well financial and
numerical side-let us not forget that!
Here, then, may be the work that Theodore
Roosevelt can do better than any other man! He's
full of fight; he has enthusiasm, personality, and he
is generally and favorably known abroad. Let him
organize a legion of, say 10000 picked men-em-
bark them to arrive in London July 4th, 1917,
independence Day 1t can be done That truly will
be shot that will ring around the word The
effect would be tremendous. Anything that will
shorten this war and bring it to successful con-
-clusion is good.
Of course Colonel Roosevelt should be allowed to CO.
Notwithstanding President Wilson's personal desires for
third term We getting ready to fight great ma
ton now and President Wilson's personal desires should
be shelved for while at least.
