WE LEAD WORLD IN
 FISH PRODUCTION
U. s. and Canada Furnish 0ne-
 Fourth Worlds Supply

New York. March 22.--Thc an nouncement of the settlement of the; longstandng fisheries dispute be- tween Canada and the United States calls attention to the fact that these two countries produce about one fourth Of the recorded fish crop of the world. A lecture delivered last week before a class in the cducation- al department Of The National City Bank of New York shows that the United States now leads the world in it's fish output and that the waters of Canada and the United States in com binaton supply over S190. 900 900 worth of fish per annum out of a world recorded total of slightly less than S600.o0O. 900 The term re corded total' said the lecturer. IS rscd adNisedly, because of the fact that the actual records of W orld fish cries cover in fact only a compa r1 lively small proportion of the globe or it's population.
 The total value of the United States fish crop. including Alaska and the Tnsuiar possessions, is probably S1 5o,- GOO, 900 at the present time. though the latest official figures put the total at $125.000.0o0. The ia ct, however, that a portion of these figures repre- sents the output prior to the advance in prices resulting from the war seems to justify an estimate of ap- proNm ately s15o.OOO,OO0 as the value of our own output at the present time This total Of s15o,00o, 900 con1- rares with $40 100000 as tho value of the fish crop of Canada; Great Brit ain. 2,000,000: France.

 Tn Europe. as a whole. the record d fish crop in the latest available year is $225, 100000: for North America (United States. Canada and New foundland). SITE, 5,000,o0o. and Japan, $G0.00o,0OQ, making the total for the countries supplying official figures, S42o,oo0.000. For the remainder of the world, Asia, Africa, South and Central America and the islands of the Pacl1lc, there are only estimates but these estimates bring the total of the world $ hsh crop at the place where taken from the seas a aboye $500, 100000, suggesting that the sums paid by consumers probably exceed a billion dollars per annum. The world S oyster crop, according to the lecturer amounts to approximately $25,OOO, 900 s year in value of which four fifths are grown in the waters of the United States. most of them along the Allan tic frontage, the remainder chiefly ;n the waters of France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Great Britain.
 Fish form a factor of considera ble importance in the foreign trade of tile United States, the total exported in 1917 amounting to s25, 5,000,0o0. and the imports about $23,o0o.ooo If we include the amount sent from conti- mental United States to it's non-coI- tiguous territories3 fish and fish prod

A Drop On a
 TouChy Corn
Instant relief. Then corn or
 ecalIus lifts off with fingers

Just think. You can lift off any corn or callus without one tWinge of pain.
 A Cincinnati man dis covered this ether com pound and named it free zone. Any druggist will sell a tiny bottle Of free zone for very little cost. You apply a few drops di- rectly upon a tender corn or callus. Instantly tn 6 soreness disappears. then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it right off.
 FreeZone is wonderful. 1t dries instantly. It doesn t eat away the corn or cal lus but sl1rivels it up with out even irritating the skin.
 Hard corns. soft corns, or corns between the toes. as well as painful calluses, lift right off. There is no pain before or afterwards. No soreness or sr1a rting. Women should keep a tiny bottle on the dresser and never let a corn ache twice.

II isn't Just wearing a khaki suit
