LOBSTER NOW LUXURY
Food Has Passed Beyond the
 Reach of the Poorer People.
Should Catch Small Lobster and Leave Larger Ones to Breed, Is Opinion
 Expressed by Expert.

The lobster has passed beyond the reach of the poor and has become luxury only to be enjoyed by the rich. Every year the price of Holsters ad- vances few points, and even at the highest price offered 1t is difficult to obtain them. From Massachusetts comes the information that were it not for the catches in Maine and Nova Scotia, Holsters could not be had in Massachusetts, for the waters of that state have been f1shed out. In 1888, so the Boston Transcript says, 1,74O, $50 Holsters of legal size were caught in Massachusetts. In 1914, only 16,13a were taken there. The opinion seems to be gaining ground in Massachusetts that a mistake has been made in deal- ing with the lobster Industry. The small lobster has been protected, while the large lobster, which is the one which produces an enormous quantity of young, has been taken. This, it is held by some, is wrong. We should catch the small lobster, so 1t is argued and leave the bigger ones to breed.
 . There seems to be same virtue in this contention, because in spite of the lobster matching plants maintained by the federal government fewer lobsters are being taken each year, while the demand for them is continually in. creasing. This, of course, accounts for the high prices. It is also claimed that in planting lobster fry the federal agents have made serious blunders The fry have been liberated in places where they have been subjected to the attacks of other fish, and few of the Holsters matched in the government plants have ever attained size where they could look after them selves. The experienced fisherman o1 the Maine coast have frequently called attention to the mistakes which were being made in lobster propagation anG preservation, but as frequently hap. pens in the making of laws, the opin. ions of men who know something about Holsters and their habits have been ignored, and the theorists hava been the only ones consulted. t.
 If the federal government should pu| a closed time on Holsters for sevefA years and arrange with the Canadian government to do the same thing, it is reasonable to suppose that the lob sters would increase and this industry would regain something of the magni tude 1t has lost. But we have no ides that such a plan will be adopted. Il would be strenuously opposed by tht dealers, who now make large profits in the business, and probably by tho fishermen also, who have considerable
 capital tied up in their fishing gear What has happened in Massachusetts where few Holsters are now beinl taken, must eventually take place il Maine, and unless some radical step is adopted the time is hot far away whel even as luxury the lobster will be come so scarce as to be beyond thu reach of everyone save the epicurear of the plutocratic class.-Portlant Press.

 Before the minute had ended, lad in khaki came in.

SOUTHERN LUMBER MEN AFFIRM THEY
 ARE TRUE BLUE
Adopt Resolutions at New Or leans Hedging Government
 Their Support.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 29.-FoloW- ing addresses by John H. Kirby of Houston, Texas, until recently lumber administrator for the south, and Char les S. Keith president of the Southern Pine Association, 20 manufacturers representing 80 per cent of the south ern pine lumber industry tonight ad- opted resolutions offering every re. sources of their industry and pledg- ing their unreserved cooperation to the War Industries board.
 Mr. Kirby in his address denounced as baseless reports that the southern pine lumbermen had fallen down" in the production of ship timbers.
 "Things were expected of the lum- bermen that were impossible of per- formance because God Almighty did not make trees big enough to get out some of the timbers required in the shipbuilding schedule,' he said.
 July 16 last all timber called for in our contracts for 252 Ferris boat had been supplied except for few items not then needed but which were ready when called for.
 In addition there was more than 45,O00,0O0 feet in excess of the require ments for these hulls in ship yards along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts"
 MT. Kirby concluded with plea for unstinted assistance to the govern ment in ship timber production.
 MT. Keith reviewed the activities of the Southern Pine Association dur ing the war.
 The committee which had hereto fore represented the industry in it's dealings at Washington was disbanded and new committee, composed of lumber men who had not previously served in that capacity, was appoint ed in its stead.
 The action was in conformity with the wishes of the war industries

Fish Eous.

The cod is estimated to yield 45,O00,- GOO eggs each season. As many az 8,O00,OO0, 100000 and even 9,5OO,OO0 eggs have been found in the roe of a single cod. Ar. eel was caught in Scot. land some years ago which contained upward of 10,00O,O00 eggs. This. how. ever, would appear to have been an ex- ceptional find. and it is generally ad. mitted that the cod is more prolific than any other fish. Though not equaling the cod, many kinds of fish are exceedingly prolific. More than 36,OOO eggs have been counted in 8 herring, 38,OO0 in smelt. 100000 in a sole, 1,120,O00 in a roach, 3JOO0,OO0 in sturgeon, 342.O00 in a carp, 38S,OOO in a tench, 546OO0 in a mackerel, 992,000 in a perch, and 1.86t 900 in a founder. The oyster is also very prolific. It has been as. certained by recent observation that in the liquor of their shells small oysters can be seen by aid of the mi. croscope-120 in the space of an inch, covered with shells. and swimming ac- lively about. A herring weighing six or seven ounces Is provided with about s0.O0O eggs. It has been esti' mated that in three years single pair of herrings would produce 154.00O.0 .000 Buffon calculated that if a pair of herrings could be left to breed and multiply undisturbed for a period of 20 years they would yield an amount of fish equal in bulk to the globe.- London Tit-Bits.
