ARCADIANS COME
MACkEREL FISHING
Some Good Catches of Mackerel
and Trout Made From the
City Dock.

me city dock at Funta GOrua
yesterday afternoon was well rep
resented by Arcadians, who had
caught the word that mackerel
were striking and all that was
necessary to catch them was to
put the hook in the water.
Charlie Roe, r. 0. Turner, G. E.
Gibson, f. X. Butler and DR.. III. /.
Turley formed one of the parties
who were very successful. They
had a string of mackerel and
trout numbering about fifty, and
there were some of the finest trout
ever hooked in Charlotte Harbor
Bay. Butler claimed he was the
champion fisherman, when he
landed a three-pounder, but Mr..
Turner put him in the shade,
when he almost caught one that
pulled hard enough to have the
dock swaying back and forth.
He knows beyond any doubt that
trout weighed twenty-five pounds
and was speckled, but alas, said
fish took bait, hook and part OF
the line and preferred his happy
Hunting grounds in which to re-
side.
Dr. Turley was some fisherman,
too, but he vowed his hook was
without the necessary whiskers,
or that the fish had their mouths
greased, for they would bite and
take his bait without sticking to
| it. Anyhow this party proved to
be the champions Of the day.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. f. Davis motor
ed down on their motorcycle and
landed some fine ones, and enjoy
cd the outing fine.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. j. Clark and a..
g. Il. Agent Thomas and wife,
were OH the scene and with arti-
fetal bait, returned home with
half dozen extra good trout.
r. N. Murray, Horace Carlton
and Mr. Welles were also there,
and after fishing a little more
than two hours were seen leaving
the dock with a nice string OF
mackerel and trout
w. R. DeLoach, A. j. Bardin,
j. f. Foster and we scribe formed
another party who went via Ford
and after. some prolonged waits
for hooks and bats, lit in with d
stern determination to bring
home a mess of salt water fish
and we did. Mr.. DeLoach slipp-
ed away from us for few min;
utes, and from what we learned
later, had his hook magnetized or
hypnotized, for without moving
out of one place he had two hun
dred and sixty bites and landed
exactly twenty-nine mackerel and
other smaller ones.
1t was fine sport to watch these
Arcadians enjoying themselves
and we take this opportunity Of
commencing the business men for
closing their places oil business for
one afternoon in the week that
such outings are made possible.
Mr. Chas. j. Bedford, who is
employed by the Gulf Refining
Co., at Punta Gorda, on the city
dock, is making arrangements to
take care of the Arcadia fisher
men, and will have ready at all
times, hooks, lines, poles, dip nets,
snag hooks, and will also have
bait ready for parties who will
phone him what hour they will be
there.-Arcadia Enterprise, Fri

Florence, Italy, July 15.-Corres-
pondence Of the Associated Press.)-
Food is now being allotted to Enrico
Caunso,. opera singer of, the Metro
politan Opera Company of New York,
whose picturesque Italian villa is sit
uated. on the heights Of Signa-Las-
ira nine miles from here on the same
ratio as to the peasants in this Sec
ton.
The new deluxe American limou-
sine he imported was commandered
by the military authorities, while the
Italian motor car he owned was re-
Questioned by the project of the COM
mune of Signa-Lasctra. The Work
Committees of the district had had
their eyes upon his villa for many
days and, when the outbreak against
the high cost Of living occurred here
a few weeks ago, made an inventory
Of his cellar and pantry, told him he
had far too much for one man and
his small family to live upon and
seized some Of the wine in his GEL
lar. Describing the affair Signor
0aruso said, to the Associated Press
correspondent.
II was visited by a distinguished
commission of men and women, con-
veyed up these hills in two luxurious
automobiles decorated in red stream
ers. These read to me my mode of
life in Italy and / have since been
forced to live under their mandates.
You know we have not starved
here, though. We have had enough
to eat. We have divided our SUP
plies with the people in the red auto
mobiles and have managed to get a.
long. I do not know what I will do
in the future. I pay the Italian gov
eminent more than a million lire

Propose Entertain In
Pure Japanese Style

Toxic, July 7.-(Correspondence Of
The Associated Press.)-A proposal
that the foreign delegates to the In
ternational Sunday School convention
to be held in Toxic in the autumn of
1920 be lodged in japanese houses
has been made by Japanese.
It is suggested that one thousand
Japanese families open their homes to
the visitors and thai delegates. be
given an opportunity to experience
something Of real Japan. they would
sleep on mattresses laid on the :atam:
or straw-matting floor and they would
move in stockinged feet instead of
shoes or boots. Instead Of opening
doors and windows, they would get
used to shoji, or paper covered slid
ing panels. Instead Of reclining in
chairs and divans, they would sit on
the spotless tatami floor and get &C.
customed to the simplicity of Jap
.anese internal decoration.
In the morning each Japanese host
or hostess would supply the two or
three foreign guests with bread, milk
and eggs, giving a Japanese break
fast only when the foreigner request
ed it. Luncheon and dinner could be
taken by the delegates in the hotels.
A writer says: ut is not only the
practical solution Of the difficulty but
it will also serve towards breaking up
the barrier that has heen for so many
years a stumbling block to perfect I'M
