But such was not the case.
The fish had been fried. In remov-

peeled off and folds of white delicate
flesh lay exposed, steaming with the
fragrance of newly cooked fish.
"Most remarkable" calculated jain.
"Let me taste it. Almost excellent.
The salt water has seasoned it and, by
Jove-it was fried in butter"
"And here is some parsley" Brutns
said, as he picked some parsley from
beneath the fins. "The parsley is cas-
lily accounted for, as there are vast
beds of it in the river, but cannot
understand how the fish attained this
exquisite butter flavor"
"That," remarked Mr.. jain, who
was dissecting the fish through its
lower story, "is another story, but
with my usual deductions shall prove
that L am right in my theory. l have
Sherlockholmed the matter and in my
opinion the trout had just swallowed

Lightning Cooks Some Fish in

All last week high tides and strong

Sunday the wind veered and forced

Hundreds of mullet disported in the
storm. Trout rose to pick choice NOR

H. HI. Ravens, J. K. jain and JOS

"Never saw sight like this BEFORE"
remarked Ravens, "but fish will never
bite in a thunder storm-the thunder
shocks them and they dive for the bot
tom just like woman dives for a
feather bed or dark closet during an
electrical display"
Just then a terrific flash of light
ming was followed by deafening clap
of thunder which shook the very foun-
dation of the earth.

are standing in an exposed condition
on wet planks-our clothes are soak

1t isn't patriotism for a person
to buy liberty bonds or warsaw
ing stamps when such person
leaves honest debts unpaid. Many
a man would be glad to invest
more in this government paper if
he could spare the money out of
his business. In the. first place,
the liberty bond is an investment
for the man who has the money
to invest. But not every man
can buy liberty bonds any more
than he can start a bank account,
keep adding to it and start a time
deposit. Just because a man con-
Quoting a business does not invest
in liberty or other bonds is no
sign that he is not patriotic. He
may be far more patriotic than
the fellow who blows about his
investment in Understanding

war between the United States
and Germany. The amount,
terms and conditions of the loan
are dependent upon further legis-

soon as Congress has granted the
necessary powers. Secretary Me-
Adoo chose the 9th of April as
the day to open the campaign as
the most fitting date to call for a
patriotic response to the summons
to duty to every American, to
ask from the people at home the
same fervent patriotism that act
yates our gallant sons on the bat
tlefields of France and on the
waters of the Atlantic.

JOHNSTON THINKS ALABAMA CANNON THWART AC|TATORS Submission of Amendment to People Will Mean
 Short Campaign
ONLY OBSTACLE IS
 THE PAID AGITATOR
Birmingham Man in Washington Says His Attitude Toward Run ming for Governor Is
 Unchanged
By HUGH ". ROBERTS.

Washiagton April 13.-(Special,)-1n the opinion of .Forney. Johnston, political leader oe Alabama, now in Washington, it is possible in accordance with the ex pressed views of The Age Herald to thwars .he politico-maniacs in their ap- parent determination to divide the people among themselves even as the fate Of the nation hangs in the balance.
 NIT. Johnston, in other words, believes it possible to settle differences respect ing the proposed eighteenth amendment to tho constitution without subjecting the people to the maudlin necessity Of prolonged and vituperative debate. The obstacles are paid agitators, domestic and alien, and those who thrive only ' ith opportunity to engaged in partisan criticism. Mr. Johnston believes the great bulk of people in Alabama adhere to the opinion that at the moment of in- icrnational crisis when the beast of Der in is attempting to batter down the Goors of the nation the best thought of the state should be consecrated to the cause of the government.
 h order that the bitter campaign might he postponed or obviated, Mr Johnston suggests that the executive committee ill its May meeting submit the amend nent to the people or take such action that the amendment by the legislature in its next session will be ratified subject to the approval of the people as ex- pressed in subsequent primary.
 If the amendment is submitted for ex- lsression of the people. in August MT. Johnston believes the campaign will be sery short.
 l f the committee pledges candidates for the legislature to ratify the amend ,nent only with the provision that it be subject to the approval of the people, the campaign will be postponed into the summer of 1919. By that time the crisis on the western front, it is believed, will have been eliminated and the people of Alabama in better spirits to proceed in the adjudication of matters purely local.
