FRESH SEA FOOD
FOR INLAND STATES
People in Rural Communitie. Can
Get Fine Frozen Fish by Ex-
press or Parcel Post.

Washington, D. C.-People living in
the rural districts in Minnesota can
enjoy salt water fish in the best of
condition without going to the sea.
shore or anywhere near it. Further
more they can reduce their grocery
bills by using more of this kind of
.food, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Frozen fish,
equal in flavor to those prepared i'm
mediately after they are drawn from
the deep, cool sea, can be shipped
by express or sent by parcel post to
your very door during the cold months.
After studying the subject for years,
investigators of the Bureau of Chemis-
try of the Department say that fish
frozen hard just as soon as they are
drawn out of the water, covered with
a jacket of ice and so kept until they
reach the consumer, are fresher than
the so-called fresh fish that 90 to the
market packed in ice.
There is a large supply Of frozen
fish in stock, accumulated to provide
for war needs but not yet used, say
the department specialists, and the
holdings include some excellent kinds
such as weakfish, mackerel, whiting
and herring, which are noted for their
quality. Because of the unusually
large stock on hand, probably twice
as much as the country has ever be
fore carried, frozen fish are reason
able in price. The department sug
gests that dealers In towns should
communicate with wholesale fish men
in the larger northern cities and gel
supply for their trade. All packages
of frozen fish sent by express or par
eel post should be well wrapped. and
should be. marked Frozen Fish, KeeI

PRAISE FOR AMERICANS
s'Icnch Press LaudS Work of Our
 Athletes in Recent Games.

Paris. June 3.--Enthusiastic com ment has Leen aroused in the French press by the fact that eight French track and field records were broken in the American eXpeditionary force meet which ended on Sunday One newspaper describes the Americans as the "greatest gathering of athletic stars from any one country as yet seen in France" That the Americans are dangerous opponents in the inter-al- lied games it says, is a fact the French should realize. Renick, Tesch- ner, Ames and Richards are pointed out as particularly powerful contest ants.
 The French records surpassed by the Americans were the 120 high hur- dles by -Ames. who made the distance in 15 2-5 seconds; the 22O low hur- dies, by Renick, 25 seconds; 22O yard dash by Tesclner, 22 1-5 seconds; shot put, by LeverseGge, A feet Il 3-5 inches; discus throw, by Byrd. 143 feet, 35 inches; pole vault by Floyd, 12 feet f inches,; $50 yard run, by Eby, one minute 56 1-5 seconds. and hammer throw, by Ryan, 166 feet Teschner already held the French 100 yard dash record which he made in ten seconds.
 A special train carrying 150 athletes, 40 administrative officers and 50 horses, left Bucharest on June 1 for Paris. Prince Carol, heir to the Ru- manian throne, and president of the general committee did not accompany the team but is expected later. The prince is 26 years old and enthusiastic over the American plan of training soldiers to athletics. He is anxious that young Rumanians should adopt the system. Lieut.. Col. Virgil Badu- lesch, supervisor of athletics in the Rumanlan army, is formulating plans for an exhaustive study of the entire system of athletic competition in the American eXpeditionary force with a view to adopting the system in the Rumanian army. Supplanting the Swedish drills which have been in use for the last ten years.
