without regaining consciousness,
George Whitman, turnkey at the
county Jail, who suffered a stroke
OF paralysis half mile north OF
ST. Nazianz Saturday evening, while
driving home in his auto and which re-
suited in the car being ditched, and
turning turtle, died at the Holy Family
hospital at noon Tuesday.
The remains we're removed to the
residence of William Hoyer on Wash
ington street, where they will lie un-
I'll tomorrow morning, when they will
be taken to Whitelaw, his former
home, for burial.

here, after Joseph Kellner was elected
Sheriff, the deceased was postmaster
and manager OF the telephone exchange
at Whitelaw.
He had not complained of feeling i'll,
and left here Saturday afternoon, with
two companions, for an auto trip to
Spring Valley TO serve some legal pa
pers. On the return "trip stop was
made to view the fire ruins at st. Nail
anz. On the way home, about mile
and half north from ST. Nazianz, Mr..

the car, and it is believed that he suf-
fered stroke, and before his compan-
ions knew anything was wrong the car
went into the ditch, and turned turtle.
The deceased was 81 years of age,
and is survived by two sisters, Mrs.
Joseph Grail OF Marshfeld and Mrs.

represented the Northwestern and 9TH
er insurance companies and the Chica-
go Bonding Company.
The deceased is survived by his par

al. The funeral was held Tuesday

A little boy, son of man named
VIM. Luedtke, teamster for the Small
ey Manufacturing Co., fell into the
river at the foot of 7th street on Mon
day last. The little fellow is only
years old and was unable to help him
self. Fortunately his clothes bucyed
him up until VIII Houghton came to
his rescue. Houghton acted with rare
courage and presence of mind. He
placed his hand In crevice in the
dock and with his foot kept the boy
afloat until help arrived. Houghton
was all the time in danger of dropping
into the river himself and was SO ex-
hausted when help arrived that he had
to be assisted out OF his perilous posi-.
tion. The little boy, when rescued,
was lowering between life and death
and was taken out not g second too
soon. The father was so grateful that
he offered WIN s20 but the hero OF the
occasion would not take anything for
his gallant services.

new U. S. RULES
ON COMMERCIAL
FISHING GIVEN
Local Restrictions Generally Re-
moved; SEEMING Authorized
Without Regard to States
Closed Season.

With the new rules and regu-
lations governing the Fish In
dustry of America, guaranteeing
freedom of movement and pro-
duction to the fisherman and the
distributor, and lifting many re-
strictions and hardships which
served to paralyze the industry,
Texas should from now on have
an abundance Of good sea-food at
a reasonable price.
All distributors have been no
titled by Administrator Peden to
submit at once schedule OF
costs and quantities of fish han
died. Every effort is to be put
forth to secure a sterilization of
prices and to free the market Of
the speculative influences which
too frequently made Texas fish
cheaper in st. Louis and Kansas
City than in San Antonio or DIAL
las.
All dealers and all fishermen
are required under the rules and
regulations to have license,
which may be secured from the
License Division at Washington
ton free of cost, Failure to COM
ply with the rules and regula-
tions, or proof Of speculation,
eliminates automatically the fish
dealer or fisherman from the
field of fish production.
Dealers are required to submit
address and change Of address;
to make reports under oath
when requested; to be prepared
at all time for inspection; to
eliminate all waste, or suffer
penalization if they fail to do so;
they are forbidden to enter into
fishing arrangements with per-
sons or firms not holding IL
cense; only wholesome seafood
will be shipped; containers not
full must be so labeled; willful
violation Of contracts are forbid
den; every effort must be put
forth to market all seafood
taken; damage to gear and
equipment is forbidden.
The Federal law replaces the
State law with the one excep-
ton: fishing is not to be follow
ed by the use of seins at chan
nels connecting one body Of
water with another. All persons
fishing and selling fish must be
licensed.

Guarding Our Lines

Guarding our lines is like guarding

a necessity to fight disease as to culti-
waite health.

NEW MEAT PROGRAM
CALLS FOR ECONOMY

The new meat program of the
United States Food Administra-
ton does not contemplate a def
mite quantity of meat per per-
son, and through an inaccuracy
in transcribing the telegram
from Washington the phrase
was used that the ration would
be one and a quarter pounds per
person per week." whereas the
statement should have read that
the present meat ration in
France and England is one and
one-quarter pounds of meat a
week.
In deciding upon a program OF
retrenchment in the consump-
ton of meat the United States
Food Administration does not in
clude "Meatless Days" but IL
puts II up To every American to
cut down his meat consumption
and that of his family;
First. By eliminating every
ounce of waste.
Second: By curtailing pur-
chases and buying more closely.
Third: By serving smaller
portions.
