FISH TOO HIGH

(St, Petersburg independently
One meatless day each week and
enc meatless meal day is the rule
new being followed by the people of
this country and residents of st,
Petersburg are observing the rule,
but most of them find 1t very hard
to find a substitute for meat They
are advised to eat fish but in st.
Petersburg, where fish ought to be
cheap. It is high. Kingfsh steaks for
instance, are selling at 80 cents a
pound and mackerel Is 30 cents a
pound including head and tail. 9th
err kinds of fish such as are now be-
ing caught here sell for almost as
much and even grouper, to be taken
with ease in unlimited numbers,
sells for IL cents a pound or more.
Kingfsh and mackerel are not found

al present near st. Petersburg and
there is some excuse for 1t selling at
higher prices than other fish but
even though shipped from Kew
west 1t seems that 30 cents a pound
gives too wide margin of profit.
Local fishermen went out from
Fass-a-Grille last Sunday with their
nets and gathered in, in a short
time, 1000 pounds of muIlet, reddish
and trout. That haul would not in
dicate there is any lack of fish in
the bays around St. Petersburg, vet
there is no record of the price of
hsh having dropped due to this haul.
Similar hauls were made by other
fishermen the same day and the
fishermen are getting many fish.
Chicken is beyond the reach of the
pocketbooks of most residents of this
city and with fish high the majority
of homes have adopted the plan OF
doing without meat Of any kind
each Tuesday. They have neither
beef, pork or mutton. chicken, eggs
or fish. Most persons find beef
cheaper than any other kind Of meat.
even though it is very high Ger
tainly there is more nourishment in
a pound Of beef than in a pound OF
fish and good western beef can be
bought here for the same price now
charged for mackerel. Most families
therefore find it necessary to eat
beans or something like that the
days they do not have meat

A TOURIST WHO APPRE.
GATES THIS WEATHER

Editor Lakeland Telegram:
In last evening paper ! read Of the
tourists who are uncertain, coy and
hard to please" Well, some of them
are that all right.
During the extreme cold we had a
short time ago, it was rather hard to
endure it without complaints, but
any tourist from the north who will
"kick" about the warmth of the
weather we have had for almost a
week now, ought to be kicked back
up North, back home, into one of
the biggest snowdrifts that abound
there and be made to dig his way
out with shovel The writer of
this item is a tourist who certainly
has appreciated the weather we have
been having; its the regular Florida
stuff.
Snowdrifts, ice and slush are for
gotten down here except when we
read of it In home papers and, in our
"hours of ease" may we all be thank
full for and bask in the Florida sun
shine, an unrivaled brand, then at
the end of a perfect day thank God
that we have had it.
Very truly,
