FIVE TONS OF FROGS.

Morris people have not yet learned
to conserve the food supply by roast
ing and eating frog legs, therefore
the Jackson Bros, John and Milton,
found it necessary to ship five tons
of frogs to Chicago and New York,
where they will be served on the
millionaires' tables.
These five tons Of frogs were
but to get that many frogs is no
child's play, and it is interesting to
know how the frogs are caught and
the method used.
The Jackson Bros. stretched nets
for three-quarters of mile around
the lake just a few feet from the
water and pits were dug at intervals
along the net. When the frogs go to
the lake in the fall to seek their win
ter quarters they come to the net
and have to stop. They then follow
the net until they come to a pit and
fall in. When the pits are full the
frogs are sorted over and the bic
ones put into crates, while the small
ones are thrown over the net and
into the water. To get the five tons
suitable for market, It was necessary
to handle nearly fifty tons of frogs
and this was done in about half ]
weeks time, as that is as long as the
season lasts. The frogs were kept in
large tanks in the lake until about q
week ago, when they were shipped tt
the above mentioned cities, where the
hind legs will be placed on the mar.
ket and sold for table use.

Concrete Ships
Are A Success

Norway has to her credit the first
selfpropelled, seagoing concrete ship.
This craft, the Namsenfj fjord, has ac-
complished a round trip between
Christiania and the British Isles
which, by the route chosen for safe
ty's sake, involved a total journey of
about 1000 miles.
The Namsenfjord is single screw
vessel driven by a heavy oil engine
Of the Diesel type, and her displace-
tons.
1t was not long after the outbreak
of hostilities III Europe before Nor
way felt acutely the rapidly growing
shortage of structural steel materi-
ais, and it was this state of affairs
that inspired Nicolay K. Fougener,
who had already built some small fer
ro concrete craft in the Philippines,
to interest his compatriots in the es-
tablishment of yard at Moss, 40
miles south of Cnristiania. Most of
the first craft launched were barges
for coastwide towing, and it was not
until few weeks ago that the Nam
senjford was ready for service. The
earlier boats enabled the company to
feel its way in perfecting the meth
DDS now standardized, and today the
yard has on the blocks one ship of
1000 tons we'll advanced, and four
others begun.
The same company is also con-
structing lightship of re-enforced
concrete for the Norwegian govern
ment, and when this vessel is ready
she will be stationed in the Storm
sweep of the Skagerak. The yard is
building, besides, a big tugboat of
the same material, and has already
turned out granolithic floating dry
dock having a lifting capacity of rs
tons. Based upon the experience
gained in this case, the concern is
now about to undertake two other
floating docks of ferro concrete each
capable of handling ships of 1000
tons displacement. These various
adaptations of REINFORCED concrete
| illustrate the wide range of applica-
bility of this material in the differ
ent departments of marine architec-
| ture.
The distinctive feature of the Fou-
gener method is the need of mini
mum of fabricated steel, and such as
is used is in the form of either
straight bars or metal lath. This il

BUY SAVINGS
STAMPS TO
HELP WIN WAR

Why should you buy them.-The
main reason for the purchase of War
Savings Stamps is because your coun-
try is at war. Your Country needs
every penny which every man, wom-
an and child can save and lend, in or
der to feed, clothe, arm and equip the
soldiers and sailors of America and
to win this righteous war in defense
of American honor and the cause OF
democracy throughout the world.
If we are to win the war, we must
win it as a united people. The savings
of every man, woman and child are
necessary if we are to hasten the
victorious ending of the war. War
Savers are Life Savers.
A single strand in the cables which
uphold the great Brooklyn Suspen-
sion Bridge is not very strong, but
thousands of these strands bound to-
gether uphold one of the thorough
fares of the world.
When our father and sons and
brothers were called by our Country
to take up arms in her defense, you
did not hear an individual soldier re
fuse to serve because his service alone
would not win the war. Each man
was ready to do his part. The great
army thus formed is going forward
to face the fire of battle and to risk
everything for the safety and security
of our homes and families, and foI
the very existence of our Country.
These are the men for whom you
are asked to save and lend your dol
lars.
A Country worth fighting for is
Country worth saving for.
To save money is to save life.
