A sensation Of the last week among

These were conclusions drawn by
Mr.. Requa following a conference Of

petroleum situation from the stand

Mr.. Requa said the heads of the in.

Discussing the income tax and the

to the fact that it is the practice of
farmers cooperative organizations, to
operate at cost, returning at the end
of the year their surplus to members
on the basisl of business furnished. In
such companies, said the speaker, the
return at the end of the year is con
sidered a part of the purchase price !
and not profits of income or surplus

Fish is Good
Plenty

We can suggest nothing better
for YOUR Lenten Meatless Day
than Fish.
Fish has been acclaimed by
scientists as the most nutritious
of foods, and the best for nerve
and braln-building. Fish that is
caught in different waters, or
different climes, tastes different,
but the best eating fish comes
from the cold countries-for in
stance the Canadian lakes.
All our fish is received direct
from the Canadian lakes where
it is caught; frozen and shipped
TO us. Upon arrival the fish is
placed in our cold storage plant,
where the temperature remains
the same all the year around and
keeps the fish frozen and fresh
just as when caught. Fish that
is frozen, thawed, and then froz-
en- again does not make good
eating. That is why we lay such
emphasis on this particular
point.
We have an unusually fine lot
of fish of different varieties
such as pike, pickerel, salmon,
halihut. WhitefSh. etc. %
This fish will be sold at reason
ably low prices and guaranteed
to be strictly fresh and in first
class condition.
Eat fish and lots of fish. 1t is
good and healthy for you!
Place your orders early for
prompt delivery.

STROKE TO FREE

SERBIA
AIM ALSO TO GIVE TURKEY AND
BULGARIA TROUBLE

Washington, Sept. 1S.-It has been
limited in military circles for some
months that this autumn will see a
major operation on the Macedonian
front and from the news of the past
few days it appears that it has begun.
While it is impossible to give the
number of men intended to partici-
pate in the movement, it is clear that
the object is to cut off Turkey from
the other central powers, crush Bull
garia, and Rumania and the Jugo-Slavs
of southern Austria.
1t is no surprise that the Serbs are
fighting CALAMITY, for they are at last
near home, and fighting for the resto-
ration of their native land.
Bulgars are already having trouble
among themselves and with Germany
and Austria. In some quarters it is
believed when they see the fortunes
of war caving in against them. they
may desert their allies, and sue for
a separate peace, trying to save as
much of their acquired territory as
possible.
