TODAY I'VE Celebrate
Today we Celebrate. The Father of
Fish Culture.

Fish Culture.
Fisherman the world over have
good reason to celebrate today the an
niversary of Seth Green, the father
of fish culture. The methods he in
itiated, since greatly improved upon,
have resulted in an incalculable in
crease in the propagation of the finny
tribe. Fishing, both as sport and as
an industry, owes much to this pion-
eer pisciculturalist, whose long life
was devoted almost exclusively to
conserving and improving the fish
supply.
Green was born at I~rondequoit, N.
Y, just 102 years ago today, March
10, 1917, and received a common
school education. In his young man
hood he became a fisherman, and built
up a thriving industry, along the lakes
and rivers of his native state. OBJ
serving that the supply of fish was
slowly but surely failing, and being of
that type of men VINO have at heart
the interests of coming generations
as well as their own, he began to
give serious thought to the problem
of replenishing and maintaining the
fish crop" He began to experiment
first with trout and salmon spawn,
and succeeded in increasing the yield
OF fish from twenty-five to ninety-fye
per cent.
~ q a gtfAD NN6Of III LoOtB
that Green invented his Matching box,
by the use of which the Connecticut
river was restocked with shad. He
then restocked the Hudson, thUSSus-
quehanna and other rivers and lakes.
In 1869 he succeeded in the artificial
propagation of fish, and two years
later carried young shad from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast. For some
years he was superintendent of the
New York State Fish Hatcheries at
Caledonia.
Prohibition.
The first prohibition law in the
United States, that of Maine, was
drafted by Neal Dow, the famous
temperance reformer, who was born
in Portland, Maine, lis years ago to-
day. The Maine law suggested by
Dow, and act 20 prohibit drinking
houses and tipping shops" was pass
I'd in the Spring of1S5l, approved by
the governor, and was first enforced
at Bangor on Independence bay,
when a number of guests were made
for violation Of the Law. A really SER
ious attempt TO drive the demon
rum out of the Pine Tree State was
made in 1859, when the search and
seizure act for the coniscation of lia-
uors was passed. In 1856 the whole
system of liquor legislation was re-
pealed and a license law enacted, but
two years later the Maine liquor law
in all its parts was re-enacted. In
1857 the Maine legislature took an
! other wack at the prohibitory law and
made it much more stringent, and
appointed a state constable to en-
force its provisions. The constabulary
law was repealed a year later. In
1870 a bill to increase the stringency
OF the law passed both houses without
opposition, and in 1872 cider and
WINE made from Maine-grown fruits
were included in the prohibition en-
actment- Dow, "the Father of Pro-
hibition," remained active in the
cause until his death in 1897, but in
spite Of all efforts the Maine law was
never as rigidly enforced as similar
laws later adopted by southern and
western states.

Our Joe Miller Contest.

II. J.. Veyers, of Symmes Corner,
Ohio, claims that the oldest joke is the
one about the church deacon who at
tended a conference in a little town in
Ohio. He put up at an old-fashioned
hotel and had to push a button on the
wall of his % when he wanted any
thing. Four rings meant hot water.
The deacon needed a hot teddy when
he got into his room SO he rang for
hot water. when the proprietor came
up with a small pitcher of hot water
the deacon explained hat he needed
the hot later TO shave himself. Next
day the proprietor was talking to the
local Pastor and remarked. THAT
Deacon Smith who is stopping in my
hotel is the funniest men / ever did

proprietot "he shaves himself about

SPRING IMPROVEMENTS.

A somewhat common way for peo- pie to join the campaign of spring Improvement, is for them to clean up their front yards, and to dump all unsight1y objects in back of the house. But the neighbors can see 1t. It is perfectly apparent to close scrutiny. AS a consequence, the average American back yard is a place of tumble down fences, ash heaps, disorderly hencoops, wiring, and miscellaneous litter. This Is particularly the case along property that borders on a railroad line. In nine towns out of ten, the traveller by rail sees the frowsy end of a. city and he condemns 1t as a slack and run down place.
 Very few back yards are concealed from public view. To get a clean town, litter and disorder must be re moved from the rear as well as from the front.
 It is amazing how a. little improve ment work on ones property will en- nance it's value When you repla ce the broken parts of fences, when you strafghten up the door or gate or blind that was looping on one hinge, when you remove the out building whose roof has fallen in, you add more to the apparent value of your place than the work could cost, even if you hire it done.
 Public school teachers should urge the children to respect the grass plots. No mans time is so valua- ble that he can't spare two seconds to walk around and save the green spots that beautffy his community.

RUSSIAN PRINCE
 AUTO SPEEDER
Fined $50 in New York Al ter Explaining About
 His Blue Blood.

New York, April 17.---Prince Alex ander GouHarof, a Russian noble man, came to the United States three years ago, when the Romanoffs were in power, as a Colonel of Artillery in the Russian Army and a member Of the Russian Military Mission to the United States. There was a great lieal of entertaining and consulting. the BolsheViki seized the reins in his commission.
 There being nothing else to do, Prince Alexander decided he would do very well by entering what he called the profession of a chauffeur. He got a license and finally a job driving a car for Dr. Alfred c. Wallin of 465 West 18th street. Everything was all right until January 29 when he was arrested for speeding, but it was his first offense and he was dis charged
 The Prince was taken before Mag istrate House yesterday again in the Traffic Court, charged by PatroiTnan Michael B. Meade of having operated Dr. Wallin' s car at 26 miles an hour on Eighth avenue. The Prince, through an interpreter, told the court all about his family history and the aristocratic blood that flows in his veins. Magistrate House said that such being the case he would fine the PrinGe only $50, or give him the aI- ten&H[ve of spending 15 days in jail. Prince Alexander paid the fine and was released.

JEWISH SOLDIERS
 CELEBRATE WEEK

Thousands of Jewish soldiers and sailors, throughout the United States, turned the age-oId feast of Passover, into Victory celebration. They opened the eighth-day observance or Passover, with ''Victory Seder'' ser vices, held in Jewish Welfare Board huts and community centers through cut the country, and added new sig nihcance to the traditional Hebrew holiday. Prayer of thankfulness for the deliverance of the Jews from Egyptian bondage many centuries ego, carried a new note of rejoicing for the liberation of the world from the enslavenent of militarism.
 The first two days of Passover,
 (which last for eight days) are ob- served as high holydays, and at a Se- der services, the story of the deliver ance of the Jews is recited and many traditional customs observed. Mat zoths Cflat cakes of unleavened bread) are eaten throughout the week.
 With prominent rabbis officiating, l Seder services were held in the Jew [ ish Welfare Board buildings in every | camp in this country, and at all Jew | fsh community centers near to camps. 1 T'wo-tay furloughs have been award ed to Jewish men by the War and . Navy Departments, and consequently 4 many soldiers and sailors are enjoying i the hospitality of the Jewish Welfare 4 Board in 165 cities throughout the i United States. Many soldiers and sail OTIS are guests of Jewish families for i the two-day holiday.
 Men in debarkation hospitals and E camps and on ship-board were not overlooked. Tables containing all of the Passover ceremonial foods were set for the hospital patients, and rab- bis and Jewish Welfare Board work CTS read the Seder services. Arrange ments for Seder services on board k warships were also carried out In New York city, the old world and the new Joined hands at the can teen of the Jewish Welfare Board in e Seward Park. Two hundred and fifty E soldiers and sailors, a majority wear . ing the gold ''v's'' of overseas services, participated in a unique community Seder. and recited the prayers which have been dToned by hundreds of gen erations Of Hebrews.

FUEL: THE BIG WORLD
 PROBLEM.

Of all the industrial problems that important Is that involved in the pro-
 duction and distribution of fuel, as well as it's more efficient employ ment. A little more than a century ago it might have been said that fuel vas used almost entirely to keep people warm and to cook their food. Industrial requirements made d sur prisingly small demand on the gen. eral supply. Today fuel is power,
 and industry Is absolutely dependent
 on power.
 Less than fifty years ago. in 1870,
 the worlds production of coal was
 234, 900 short tons. In 1918 the
 United States alone produced 685,- $50, 900 tons, or nearly three times as
 much as the whole world produced 48
 years before. IT 1870 the United
 States produced 33,O36,0OO tons and
 the United Kingdoms output was 123, 5000 tons. Last year tho United Kingdom produced only 255,-
 O00,O0 tons, or just about double the output of less than fifty years ago, while the production of this country Is more than twenty times as great. Last year, it was estimated that the worlds output of coal was l, 1,431,- 00O,000 tons. and of this vast amount this country produced AIS per cent. The time may be coming. and that fairly soon, when the United States
 may be called upon to produce one billion tons of coal annuaT.y ito supply ! its own needs and meet the demand for export. So far as the known de posits of coal are concerned this task would not be difficult. We could mine i d billion tons of coal anns~IIy for rnearly four thousand years without r exhausting our estimated resources of
 that fuel. The United States Geolog- ical Survey credits Us with available deposits amounting to three triIlion, Feight hundred and thirty-eight billion tons, and Wyoming alone could fur nish a. billion tons a year for 670 years.
