FISH FOR FOOD
Commissioner Avery Here Yes.
terday to Make Arrangements.

State Game and Fish Commits
sioner Carlos Avery was in the city
yesterday to confer with Ely and
Winton people in regard to opening
up fishing in the lakes in this vic
Unity in order to help out on the
food proposition.
A large number of representative
men met with Mr.. Avery at the
city hall where the methods of Sc
curing and marketing fish were set
forth by the commissioner. John
A. Harri acted as chairman of the
meeting and H. J. Merdink as sec
rotary. Talks were made by Thos.
S. Written and DR.. Metcalf of
Winton. Mayor Brozich and Fred
B. James of this city and others.
1t was the opinion, generally ex-
pressed that a fish market be estab-
lished by the state.
Thos, S. Written was named as
chairman of the committee to have
charge of the work and the secur-
ing of fishermen. To act with him
Fred B. James and H. J. Merdink
were named. This committee feels
confident that plenty of fish to
supply many needs can be secured.
While this committee will have
tentative charge of the work, Game
Warden Matt Soderback will be
the state head to see that the laws
are lived up to and that the priv
ileges will not be abused.
Winton will be the head of the
fishing, as ice houses, freezing
plants and other facilities are at
hand to care for a large output
besides the principal large lakes
are adjacent to Winton. The price
of the product is fixed by the state
at cost of production. The state
takes the fish from the fishermen
at fixed price per pound and then
retails them to the consumer at
cost Jplus a slight percentage for
shrinkage and losses. This will
bring the best classes of food fish
to the consumer at not over IS
cents per pound and the rougher
classes at from E to 10 cents.
The committee and the warden
will get BUSY at once and establish
the fish market. Local markets
and dealers will be asked to handle
the product ON two per cent mar
gin.
Mr.. Avery left on the afternoon
train but says he is willing to come
here at any time and talk over the
fish and game situation with repre-
sentative citizens.

Prevent Eye Strain.

Naturally, great deal of eye trou-
BILE is not to be prevented, as it is all
to often indigenous to the individual,
but some of it may be. Constant eye
strain will bring on serious and some
times incurable trouble and that is
one of the things which one can pre-
vent. Avoid reading or sewing-in
fact, all close wOrk-in a dim light,
and-what is just as impOrtant-see
that the light is coming from the right
direction. Never work with a light
shining directly into your eyes. 1t
should fall upon your work, and your
eyes should be shielded from it's glare
by a softly cOlOred shade of some sort.
1t is best to have the light over the
left shoulder, if such a thing is posi-

THE TWO ARMIES

Figures Just aiad, public by Major
General Maurice, the British military
writer, throw light on a much-iis-
cussed matter-the relative strnneth
Of the German and allied armies
during Foch's victorious campaign.
It develops that the Germans were
really beaten without any such
Overwhelming superiority of num-
oers" as they have represented. and
Foch turned the tide last summer
with an army much smaller than the
enemy's.
When the big German offensive
started last March, the strength of
all the armies engaged stood as fol-
lows: If the Belgian army be rated
as one. the French army as 12A
the British army 1Ok and the Amer
ican army a mere y, making a total
Of 25. The German army stood at
26. Subsequent gains from the east
raised this to 81 in May.
On July IS, when Foch launched
his offensive, the Belgian army re-
manned about the same; the French
army had been reduced to liz ant
the British to 9h; the American
army had risen to 3. That made thu
allied total still 25. The German
army had up to that time declined
very little, making up its battl,
losses by new drafts, so that whel
Foch delivered his blow it stood a
about 80, and was thus actually q
per cent larger than the armies a
Foch's disposal.
Foch took the initiative, however
secure in the knowledge that tn
rapid growth Of the American arm
would soon turn the scale. Fror
July 1S on, the German army declir
ed fast because 1t had to fight COZ
tinuously, almost everywhere, wit
no reserves to make good its losse
BY November II, when the fightin
ended, the allied armies remained /;
about 25 units while the Germa
E army had sunk to IT.
1t is interesting to learn that ;
the close Of hostilities, though "
had only begun to throw our weigl
into the struggle, the effective Anne
ican army was 60 per cent as large ;
the French and rs per cent as lare
as the British. By next summer
would have exceeded either OF then

The Tomato In History.

Edward Albes Of the Pan n-American
union, in discussing the matter of the
tomato. said number of years ago
that the word tomato" seems to be
Of Aztec origin, and given as "tomatl"
by some authorities and as "ixtomate"
by others. The word still persists in
some of the older Mexican town
names, as. for examples, "Tomatian"
and "Tomatepec." The weight of
opinion among historical botanists is
that the plant and culture for edible
purposes began in Peru, whence It
spread to other parts of tropical
America. 1t is known that 1t was cul-
tivated for its fruit in the warm eli.
mates Of America centuries before
the coming Of Columbus to this CON
tinent.
