Introduce New Food Fish.

The tilefiSh is new food fish which
Is being extensively introduced and
promises to become a staple food. The
secretary of commerce, in his annual
report, characterizcs its history as TO-
mantle. He says:
discovered in 1870, it seemed ex-
terminated by natural causes within
three years thereafter. Gradually il
reappeared and ultimately became
abundant on our Atlantic coast near
the 100-fathOm line. The bureau has
long known the fish to be available,
but previous efforts to establish a fish
cry for 1t failed. The task was to get
fishermen TO catch the fish, to get deal
ers to sell 1t, and consumers TO buy 1t,
and to do these three things at the
same time. The methods used were SO
effective that In one month the bureau
withdrew from the campaign with the
fishery established and the demand for
the new food created. The progress of
the fishery has been extraordinary. II

Her Valid Defense,

One has heard a good deal about the
Russian woman warriors. Sensational
stories about them have appeared from
time to time in the European press. Al.
together, there is flavor of romance
about the Russian amazons which is
lacking entirely in the totally unlocked
for defense recently put up by an Eng.
lish working woman, remarks the
Christian Science Monitor. A suit had
been brought against her for having
failed to pay the money due for the
hire of her sewing machine. Asked
what she had got to say for herself
she replied: sNOthing; am unable to
pay, as l was wounded a short time
ago, fighting against the Austrians.'
1t quite disconnected the court Her
papers were examined by the judge
and found TO be In order. Needless
to say, the charge against her was
withdrawn.

GRAND LIFE OF THE NAVY
onIooker Inspired by Sight Of Big Gray
Warships and Liberty the
Sailors Eajoy.

It was Sunday morning in New
York, and the drive at the foot
of Seventy-ninth street was alive
with people. The benches were
at a premium. An aged woman,
with her knitting, got up and cross
eyed man sat down so quickly that the
bench didn't have chance to get cold.
The tide was just turning, and the
gray warships at anchor began to poke
their noses seward.
"Them ships look grand, huh?"
The sailor sitting next to the man
turned and regarded his bench mate
curiOusly. He waited the fraction Of
second before replying, and before
he could answer he was bOmbarded
with another question:
''They amt got no Names"
Still the sailor remained silent. "Sl-
lence is golden,T and the sailor was
running true to form. If you were OBJ
servant you could have caught him
mapping before the advent of the cross
eyed man.
"Believe me, that's the life" he
rambled on, waving n long arm in the
direction of the pier, where Il launch
from one Of the vessels had drawn
alongside. "Them fellers have pretty
soft time Of 1t. See ZEN? Going TO
have n good time up town. Believe me,
that's the llfe."
Suddenly he turned and looked over
his shoulder, as though inspiration had
gripped him strongly.
"That's the life-Pm going to enlist,
believe me-"
The sailor said TO himself; "They'd
like to get him, only he's as deaf as a
he's looking-gOod night !'-Exchang

Throughout the Andean plateau of
Bolivia potatoes are cultivated at al
tltudes where even the hardest grains
and vegetables will not grow. The
natives have a method of preserving
potatoes, which consists of alternate
freezing and thawing until all the
moisture is removed. The resulting
product is known as chunu, and 1t can
be stored for months and even years
without fear of deterioration. Pressed
into little bullet-shaped pieces, chunu
Is universally offered for sale In the
markets, and Is one of the chief foods
of the native population. The same
report states that France and Sweden
have imported seed potatoes from Bo-
liyia.

The Commercial Club

Wednesday, June 9th, is the date
Of the annual meeting Of the mem
bers Of the Rio Blanco Commercial
club.
As other matters of much import
ance are set for this date, 1t is likely
that the meeting will have to be
postponed till evening. But this is .
matter for the officials to worry over.
In passing: THE HERALD is in
structed by President RUDE Oldlsnd
to extend cordial Invitation to all
out-of-town visitors-farmers, stock
growers and others-to make the
Club rooms their headquarters dur
ing their stay In town, June 18th,
9th and 18th.
And this reminds US OF the fact
that there seems to be an erroneous
impression throughout the county a.
to the purposes Of the Commercial
club.
Its main purposes are to he of
benefit to the whole Of Rio Blanco
county. Some think the club is for
the benefit of Meeker and town men,
bers. All such have got the wrong
impression. The only privilege the
town members enjoys over the coun-
try member-he pays twice as much
dues Is the country member and
pays for his game of billiards or pool,
or his drink of coca-cola same rs the
