SHARK FIT FOR HUMa
Flesh Of Man-Eater Tastes Liko

Liver Furnishes oil.

Russell ]. Coles Of Danville. Va. "
is cooperating with the Department g

ural History in popularizlng unutilizea
food fishes, has established at Cape
Lookout, n c.. a plant for fringanl
sharks 10 food, leather and oil.
Mr.. Coles is well-known hunter q
big fish. He has hunted deyilfsh with
Colonel Roosevelt. and caught ne
splendid specimen OF devilfish from
which was cast the life-size model now
to be seen in the American museum
He has Just sent to the museum an IN
teresting report OF his work IN the
shark industry In North Carolina.
"You are delaying surprising treat
by not soaking the salt out Of that
whlpray and eating 1t. have found
'whip-tail shark one of the best that
have eaten, and monkfish excellent.
"But the very finest shark, or Ia fact
fish of any kind that have ever eaten
was young man-eater. It's flavor is
quite similar TO that of a big fat white
shad l made an entire meal or Of the
man-eater shark.
"The same day had made break

very small calf. Porpoise milk mar
be all right for those who like II. but
did not much care for It,"
In describing the flesh of the man
eating shark on which he dined as
noted above, Mr.. Coles said: Z
"In color the flesh was a distina
rich light pink salmon. There was
almost round strip of nearly blad
extending along in the pink flesh Oh
each side of the back. ate both the
pink and black flesh and found both
excellent.
81 got the shark from the net while
it was still alive. A native fisherman
and his mate reported to me that as
they hauled up their sink net while |
was taking the sharks from my big +.
shark net near them, and about the
moment that the young one was
caught. they brought up monstrous
shark having similar tail, which was
as long as their 25-foot launch, and
that 1t fought SO violently that they
quickly cut loose large piece of their
net In which. 1t was entangled and let
1t escape.
Although these two fishermen are
men of good standing and well known
to me, hesitate to accept Statements
of this kind, which involve the size OF
fighting shark. from any but few Of
the best-trained observers.
II have prepared the meat Of the
man-eater for smoking, its hide for the
tanner and have made oil of Its liver"
Although at first shark meat for food
was viewed with prejudice by the gen.
eral public. 1t has sold in no small
quantities, even in New York city,
where the price short time ago was
Ia cents per pound. AS leather, shark
has been fairly tested, and found to be
satisfactory In all points, and especial
ly durable.

A Near Miss.

A British airman was flying alone
over the Bulgar lines, busily using his
camera. A whistle Of machlne-gun
bullets disturbed him. He Just saw
an Albatross swooping down upon him
from above and then he knew no more.
When he recovered consciousness he
found that he had dropped all the
way from 5000 feet to 1000 feet,
and that ballet had passed through
his neck-fortunately missing his YER
tebrae. He regained control Of his
machine and looked about for the AL
batross. She was nowhere In sight,
and evidently had prematurely decided
that she had finally polished Off the

Assistance Asked to Re-
Single Town Hall.

Assistance is wanted from
friends of the town to raise funds
to re-shingle the Town Hall.
The shingles on south side are
practically gone, and only half of
hall is fit for use when rain is
falling.
To cover the south half of roof
will require twelve squares of
shingles. The trustee in charge
of hall bought last fall three
squares of Cortright shingles for
this purpose, and now has funds
enough on hand to nearly pay for
three more squares of the same
kind of shingles. Appeal is made
to friends of the place, here and
elsewhere for contribution. as it
will take something over $125 to
get the material and have the
work done.

HIGHLANDS HIGH CLOSES.

The Richlands High School closed
on Thursday most successful term.
The commencement exercises extend
ing ever Il period of several day;
were marked by simplicity that a
period of stress and suffering de-
mands. Nevertheless, they were great.
ly enjoyed and the attendance mt cv-
cry performance was large, showing
that Notwithstanding the fact that
people are busy about other things
the cause of education is not to be
neglected from any lack of interest
and cooperation on the part Of the
public.
The recital of Miss Jackson's ON
Friday night was greatly enjoyed
Miss Jackson has made many friends
IN Richlands, who regret that she has
decided to enter a larger field of en-
deavor.
The baccalaureat sermon was de-
livered ON Sunday by the former pas
tor, of the church, the Rev. b. N.
Warehouse, to a large and represcn-
tatIvc audience. On Tuesday night the
senior exercises and oratorical con-
tests were held in the large audito-
rum. The contest was proposed by
some of the public spirited men of the
town, Mr.. Forbes, the Christian mas
tor, being the leader.
The Judges were Hon. Crockett Bo.
wen, Hon. A. C. Buchanan, and Supt
Grcever. The prizes were $40 in gold
The Judges found it difficult to make
decision, but finally these awards were
made: First prize, $500 in gold to
Miss Bessie Elfler; second prize, $40
in gold to Walter Elswick.
TO the deep regret of patrons and
public in general, the principal, Miss
l.. M. Evans, declined disappointment
for another term. Miss Evans has
done most excellent and lasting
work during the years she has been in
Southwest Virginia. Possessing ex-
ceptionai executive and constructive
ability with unbounded enthusiasm.
mdomitable courage, her efforts have
boon attended with great success. 1t
will be hard to fill the place. The
RIchlands school has established an
enviable reputation for constructive.
thorough work, and is considered a
model by those who are in position
to judge such matters.
