WASTE OF MINNOWS
CUTS FISH SUPPLY

The lack of fish in the river that the
Isaac Waltons often complain Of, is
said by one fisherman to be due to the
fellow who is too careless with his
bait. That is. if the bait happens to be
minnows or the young fish often given
that name.
This devotee of the rod and line
says that too many lovers OF the sport
are careless land are responsible for
the shortage of fish. The practice OF
many to catch minnows for bait and
fill their bait receptacle with twice as
many of the little fish as they need.
throwing away half of them dead when
through fishing is the cause of much
Of the supply being wasted. He would
have the fishermen practice economy
in the number Of minnows he uses and
thereby assure more fish to reward his
efforts later. BY killing off the young,
the supply Of the grown fish is cur
tailed.

In invaded France at the presen,

much philosopher not to know that

men out Of all proportion to their own
real value, by the intangible atmos-
phere Of legend which, with or without

them.
SOLDIERS LOOK FOR TEDDY.
Whatever may be the reasons and
without attempting to analyze the phe-
nomenon yield to the imperious need
to tell you that the name of Roosevelt
has in our country at this time leg
endary power. It would be an enor-
nous error in my view to neglect a
force which everything urges us to
make use OF as soon as possible.
I'VE have learned that the first
American unit has arrived at the front
and with what zest generals and
prvates saluted the noble starred ban
ner. However you should know. Mr..

chevronned poilu said to his comrade

Before the war, it was said, Italy's
financial policy had been entirely do

commerce or exchange Only through
financing by England it was pointed
out. was Italy able to meet her i'm
