Sllad Few. Prices High

The catch of shad continues few in
number. The highest catch on Mon
day, 18th, was 10. Other catches dur
ing the week were a dozen OF less
each day.
On Monday, 18th, the highest catch
was 46 by Ben Raine and brother.
A few other catches have been be-
tween Is and 20 daily. Most nets
got less than a dozen and some did
net get a scale on two tides.
Some who went into the bay have
returned because the catch was little
better than in the river. The weather
has been damp and chilly and windy.
Frequently oil floats on the surface
of the water. The shad in the Della
ware has decreased rapidly since oil
refneries were established at Marcus
Hook and chemical refuses were let
into the river in recent years.
The wholesale price this week has
been 10 cents a pound for bucks and
21 cents for roe shad. The retail
price is 25 cents a pound.
Joseph Roberts for T. E. Hunt, on
Denny wharf is the only buyer for
shipment. Last week and this the
best nets have cashed $500 to $3.50
during each week.

If it can't the Company ought to be

All of the bouts at the club last
night were of the gilt edge variety.
In the windup Joe Allison, who was to
meet jeff Smith, of Newark, was over-
weight and X. O. Baker vas substitute
ed to meet Allison. This action rather
displeased a few of the noisy gallery
gods who created a little noise in
distant parts of the building, but as
the bout progressed this disapproval
was turned into approval, as the boys
turned up a staunch slam bang affair,
with first one and then the other lead
ing. Allison gradually forged ahead
and at the end of the Sth round had
a decided lead. The semi windup
between frankie Clark and Allen
town Dundee was n of the most
spirited exhibitions of the manly art
seer at this club. The noise of Jim
Clark and others nearly raised the
roof at times. This was a good draw
and well-worth the admission. Johnnie

Where was rush and hustle for four
years on Carneys Point, the smoke OF
fire pots, sizzle of steam, the hum OF
engines and rush of thousands OF men

GERMANS ATTACK
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Washington, March 11-General
opposition to the proposed league of
nations is reflected in recent Ger
man newspaper comment received by
the State Department and made pub
lie today. Two of the newspapers
declare that the league as proposed
would establish ''Anglo-American
world domination" while another
characterizes it as "a league of arms
against Germany"
The Vorwaerts asserts that the
league is league of victors with
character of trust despite the well
come establishment of the principle
OF arbitration, and the treaty is per
vaded with capitalistic spirit"
THE German according to The
Tageblatt now learns that in the
league Of nations statutes establish
ed at Paris without consultation, no
attention appears to have been paid
to Germany, evidently considering
second or third rate power. The
league is draft not Of league
OF nations, but a league of arms
against Germany"
The Leipzig Tageblatt says: ut
is our misfortune we are in disad
vantageous position regarding pow
er, but that should not deter us
from approving the erection of a
league, for the cause is of too great
importance for u.s. Our existence
as a national and economic body is
at stake and this is better safeguard
ed within than without the league.
1t does not follow that we must swal-
the treaty in it's present form"
The Vossiche Zeitung terms the
treaty great disappointment;
merely an instrument to maintain the
supremacy of England and America"

RECENT EDUCATIONAL
AMENDMENTS TO
THE CONSTITUTION.

Only three of the five pro-
posed amendments to the Con-
stitution passed. The first one
limits the state tax to 3 mills.
Parish, municipal, levee and other
board tax for any purpose are
each limited to five mills, there
fore Ward six can collect but 5
mills special school tax this year.
The people voted 7 mills in
Ward six for school purposes.
The recent amendment will force
us to lower the rate TO 5 mills.
A second educational amend
ment to the constitution provides
that each parish and the City of
New Orleans shall levy an annual
tax of IL mills for school pur-
poses.
A third amendment pro, ides
that a special State tax of II.
mills shall be collected each year
for school purposes and that
100000 of the amo"nt collected
from the city Of New Orleans
snail be turucl over 10 the r,m-
council for SIC Sup0":: of
Isaac Delgado Trade Schoo in
New Orleans.
From the above we can readily
see that our state funds will be
practically doubled, whereas our
sDe al tax viii! !" lowered in
Wa 6 to 5 mills TT, property
valuation of Ward six is S25,918.-
60. This will give us in 1919
about $13,000.00 for school pur-
poses from this source.
The schools of Ward SIX are
yours, your money maintains
them to the end tina! your child
rem are trained 70: citizenship.
Therefore see to it that you get
the very best service from both
teachers and school officials. Look
we'll to the interest of your child.

GOOD ROADS BOOSTERS
HERE ON SCHEDULE.
Not Many in Party But 100 Per
Cent Enthusiastic.

The publicity tour cars which
left Galveston Sunday morning
on a run to New Orleans arrived
in Welsh on schedule Monday
morning, after having spent the
night at Lake Charles. From
Lake Charles they were accom-
panied by Mayor Trotti and Sec
retary Bayles of the Chamber of
Commerce.
The party was met at Rice by at
least dozen Welsh cars headed
by that of Mayor and Mrs. Arm
strong. Arriving here the cars
were parked and with the men,
bers of the party were filmed by
E. E. Noise, special representative
of the New Orleans Item. The
chief topic of conversation among
some of the members of the party
while here was not the condition
of the roads, but chow long would
it take to get to Mermentau."
The purpose of the tour was to
encourage the completion of a
number of stretches of the "Old
Spanish Trail" which should con-
meet up a continuous, all season
highway between Galveston and
New Orleans, and it is quite
probable that the comment and
the notoriety given to the bad
roads will have some influence for
good.
Fortunately the road through
Jefferson Davis parish was in fair
condition and could therefore not
merit a great amount of criticism
but the fact remains that there
are several stretches of the main
highway through this parish that
need early attention. i
