IT'S SAD SHAD TALE
Fish More Scarce in Delaware
Than Ever Before.
Many Fishermen Have Placed Nets ON
Rack and Quit in Discour
agement.

Phlladelphla.-"It's a sad shad sea-
son." said the old salt as he shook
his head over his "grog" in Glouces.
ter.
Its a sad shad tale. In fact. it's
so sad that I've quit shading and got
me job In the shipyard. There's
more money in it. Shad fishing is
done forever in the Delaware In my es-
timation."
Inquiries among the fishermen at
Gloucester and Camden ELECTED the In
formation that fewer shad have been
caught In the river this year than ever
before and the majority of the fisher
men now fear the industry is thing
of the past.
Some Of the men have not caught
more than five fish this season, while
several were found who have not av-
eraged one shad per drift. Some Of
the fishermen have placed their nets
on the rack and quit in discourage
ment. Others are utilizing them to
catch herring.
AT Pennsville and Bayside several
fair catches" were made at odd times
during the season, but they were not
"one-tenth of what was expected" al
though the fishermen found a ready
sale for the shad at high prices. They
VIII quit early, the fishermen say.
Planked shad dinners are now bring
Ing So per plate, with the demand far
In excess of the supply.
Records OF the Washington Park
fishery show that the highest number
of shad ever caught in one haul was
about 5000, fourteen years ago. The
run Of shad started to fall off in 1909,
when the United States fish commits
sion discontinued its steamer, the Fish
Hawk, coming up the Delaware be-
cause insufficient spawn was to be had
to propagate young shad. Since that
time the Torresdale hatchery has
Matched out shad, but not in large num-
bers, like the Fish Hawk.

SLAMS Boat Life.

The boat life of Siam is extremely
interesting. Business and pleasure,
health and happiness, all center in
the river or its branches. A boat and
paddle are almost as natural and in.
dispensable possessions to a, Siamese
as his arms or legs. He has no no
ton of travelling any distance except
by boat, and the idea of living in
place inaccessible by water generally
strikes him as absurd. Three weeks
to come down stream with full car.
go, a week to dispose of it and in
dulge in the gayeties of the capital,
four or five months to get back with
the emptied boat, and the rest of the
year for farm work at home-such is
the program Of many a Siamese fam.

Step, Kid; Wise lanes
Nab Candy, Says Poet

Philadelphia. - There are
hopes for the slangwIelders.
The bird" or "Jane" who lets
go a wise" line of "chatter" IS
no longer Of backward class, but
rather far ahead Of her or his
time. They are speaking the
coming language; no, not Els

Such was the claim made BY
Louis Untermyer, the poet, in an
address here before the Phllo-
musian club.
He claimed that within the
next rs years there will be a
distinctive American language,
and pointed to Walt Whitman
as the first to see beauty in
slang.

Songs Of the Club Workers
By the U. s. Deparmsubof Agriculture:

or course, the poets and writer's OF
light opera are all wrong when they
try to make out that farming is bust
ness wherein the jovial harvesters
join hands with the merry villagers
and dance around MaypOle, singing
roundelays. They are taking too liter
ally Shakespeare's observation that
"All the worlds stage" There is
something about routing out the cows
In the morning before smup, and
something about plotting pillow
through heavy soil and salty sweat,
that does not conduce to song.
But there are farm songs, and farm
ing songs. The country heard lot
of them last fall when volunteer help
ers went out from the cities to help
meet the situation created by heavy
yields and few harvesters. Mast of
that singing was done on the way to
and from the fields, but it was pretty
good singing, anyway. And then there
are songs heard mostly at farm bu-
reau meetings and the like. All that
Is necessary to prove that farmers can
sing when they want to is to hear a
dozen or hundred Of them join IN
this, using the tune Of "Old Black
Joe:"
Gone are the days when my farm return
ed no pay.
Gone are the folks who used to call me

Youth, however, is the springtime of
life, and springtlme is the season when |
the human family, and the birds and |
the locusts and the organ grinders,
seem most disposed to make a more
or less harmonious noise. Therefore,
1t Is among the farm youth in the
springtime Of life that you will find
the most singing Of and at their daily
tasks. The boys and girls clubs, or
ganized under the direction Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture and the state agricultural coll
leges, have more songs than you can
shake stick at. And how they can

Down the road comes bunch of gar
den club boys and girls, with spades
and rakes on their shoulders and the
light of achievement in their eyes.
They are singing. and the strains are
the same as in that "Over There" song
that went from Broadway to Chateau
Thierry and back again. Listen:
Johnnie. get your hoe. get your hoe. get
your hoe;
Mary, dig your row. dig your row, dig

Kindly and HospitabIe.

From this virile race, which scOrned
to bend the knee to Harald, the mod
ern Icelanders are descended. They
are kindly and hospitable to the
stranger within their borders, while
their homes are simple and quaint.
Some are old dwelling places of turf
and stone with an inclosed moving
patch, the sheep folds, the byre and
q small garden for vegetables. The
spoken tongue Of Iceland is no longer
heard in the Morse valleys, but in the
arctic isolation Of their island home
the Icelanders have retained it in
its ancient purity; and sagas and ira
ditions of the remote past are as
familiar as household words to the in.
The government, down to the grant
ing Of autonomy, had at its head a
appointed by the king Of
Denmark, resident at Reykjavik, and
responsible to the althing, or the
Of the colony, for all acts
Iceland. The althing con-
sisted Of 80 members, Of whom 80
we're elected by the people and six by
he crown. 1t was elected every two
years, and was divided into two cham
'ers, Of which the upper was composed
# six elected and six appointed men,
,ers, while the lower consisted Of "a
elected members. The king of Den |
mark had the nominal right of veto.
In 1911 suffrage was extended to
women and servants, and the right is
low possessed by all competent adj
Its. The revenue of the country is ,
erived almost entirely from customs.
Elementary education is well provided
or, and the number of illiterates is
small.

Merrily. merrily. cheerily, cheerily;

And here comes some rosy-cheeked

and snowy caps, and everything they
catch what the boys are singing, and
they reply:
Can, can. all you can: ESrT
Can and put it away.
Merrily, merrily, cheerily. cheerlly;

There were club boys on the plain,

At the call for meat and grain.
let none forget their service ~
As the club boys pass along,
FOR, although the war is over,
They are singing still this song.
The chorus comes like cataract:

While the grain we're sowing
