without a sense of humor either The
Daily Citizens circulation man in adj
justment of some of the city routes
called at the home of Rev. Pearce the
other day and asked him if he was
taking The Citizen. The preacher
said he was. The circulation man ask

Food Administration viii Find q
Way to Use Florida Fish

Washington, Feb. 9.-Thwarted in
it's efforts to effect an agreement
with the state authorities of Florida
to have some provisions of the state
laws temporarily suspended in order
to bring about increased production
and better distribution of salt water
fish caught in Florida waters the
United States food administration
will shortly place some regulations in
effect that will make the Florida laws
restricting production entirely mop
erative.
The food administration sought to
effect agreements with state authori-
ties of the coast states for the tenn
porary suspension of some state laws
curtailing production of fish. This
movement was started as long ago as
last September. Many of the states
readily agreed to the plan, but Gov
ernor Cats of Florida and Mr.. Will
Jams, the state fish commissioner
| turned a deaf ear to the urging OF
the food administration.
Mild measures having in some in.
stances been secured the food admin.
istration has arranged to have al
fishermen licensed after February Ii
and all state laws restricting fish
production suspended. This licensing
plan and complete control of the fish
ing industry was effected by the
presidents proclamation of January
10th.

A meeting will be held in Washing.
ton on February 18 and 19 of the fooC
administrators of the Atlantic states
the fish commissioners of those state:
and number of fish producers II
consider the regulations now being
drafted to govern the fish industry.
