ARMOUR & COMPANY
WILL READJUST CAPITAL
Chicago Packers Propose 10 Become n
500 900 900 Corporation.

Armour & Co. are planning a capital
readjustment which will rival any alter
alton of capital since the formation of
the United States Steel Corporation.
IL will become $500, 100000 corporation
with securities outstanding to the extent
of 1912, ,000, 900 as soon as the details of
the 100000, 900 note issue now under
consideration are carried out.
For years the packers have had large
amounts of invested capital, but their
stocks and debts outstanding have been
relatively in inhnitcsimal That system
of undercapitalization has made their
taxes unusually heavy in relation to profits
and at the same time has laid them open
to dcmagogic attack The first of the big
packing group to correct that situation
will be Armour q Co.
Holders of present common stock Of
Armour 4 Co. will be- asked to exchange
those shares for two shares of class A
common stock and six shares of class B
common stock Plans are being formu-
lated by the company to offer 10 its en-
ployes the opportunity to purchase class

Irish People

London, Dec. 14.--While her hus-
band, who went to Ireland as
something as pacifist, is being
attacked today as martinez, and
is himself saying some sharp things
frequently. about the Irish. Lady
Greenwood gives striking praise to
the people of the Emerald Isle.
AS wife of the first secretary for
ireland, and before she knew that
country as its first lady," Lady
Greenwood had wide opportunity
to become acquainted with it's peo-
pie.
Behind Ireland the tragic, apart
from the agony of murder and an
Siety that is so apparent, there is
another country, a most delightful
and beautiful land, in which live
most charming people," she says.
"The social and moral charac-
-eristics of all but few of its peo-
pie are as firm and as strong as
sver, though seen today through |
he mists Of strife and bloodshed.

unaffected and frank. And these
Qualities, in combination with theii
sense of humor, make them the
most agreeable social companions.
They are earnest and intense about
everything that interests them
such as music, painting, drama
and sport.
Dublin does not go to its ma
tional theater only to be amused.
It goes to be educated. Watch the
audience there any night, and you
will see the earnestness of their at

ment.
Sport appeals to the race in an

READY TO CATCH SHAO
WITH NET A NILE LONG
Over 1900 Gather at Port Deposit
for Spring Haul; Outlook
Reported Poor.

Port Deposit, Md, March 26,--With
the gathering in of the 500 or 1000 men
who annually come into this section for
the spring fishing the shores of Port De
post and adjacent towns have become
scenes of activity and the fishing season
rs practically under way.
Each wharf in town has already re-
ceived its drying frame" and The board
ing in platforms arc showing their planes
into the Susquehanna. The Floats" have
been overhauled and moved to their
locations. Floats arc huge RATS, an acre
in extent, upon which are housed the
fishing crews, who live there for the whole
fishing season. 1t is upon these floats
that the fishing is done.
4 net one mile or more in length is
placed in the stern of a boat propelled by
2f oarsmen.
Hauling sciens are the principal method
of fishing, but "gillers," because of the
greater number, probably supply a great
or amount of fish. "GiIlers" use net
that reaches across the stream and allowed
10 drift. When il is lifted the fish either
shad or herring, are enmeshed In the net,
hence the name.
More than 200 motorboats are engaged
in this fishing and each outfit represents
an outlay of S40O to $500 or total OF
about 100000.
Capt. p n. Spencer, ono of the most
successful fishermen on the Susquehanna,
is pessimistic over the outlook for future
fishing. He said this morning that with
the pound nets below the Potomac in
the water from February | until Novem-
her and in the upper bay until June 10
there is but poor chance for the shad to
reach their spawning ground. Last year.
Captain Spencer reports, was the very
worst wear ever experienced The year,
ne said. was not an off wear, but the cul-
mipation of steady decline. The whole
catch for the season was but 5000 shad
and 1000, 900 herring.

REMEMBER WHEN FRUIT COMES.

Spring fuits are on their way. and then
there come summer fruits. SO, when
they come. remember that il is seldom the
inside of ripe fruit, but the outside, that
makes YOU ill., Be careful, therefore,
TO eat only perfectly clean fruit.
Occasionally, underripe or overripe
fruit, causes illness. But perfectly ripe
'ruit is almost always wholesome, and if
{ upsets you it is probably because the
skins are not clean. OF course, there are
some fruits. like strawberries and rhubarb,
that have too much acid for some sys-
tens, and these must then be avoided .
But usually, as we have said, the fruit
itself is harmless.
If YOU can sit on the branches of
cherry tree and eat the fruit as YOU pick it,
there is no danger. But if you have the
same amount of fruit from the fruit store,
where it has stood exposed TO dust and
been handled by soiled fingers, there Is
danger. II may be contaminated both
from dust and fingers. And fruit that
has come into contract with other fruit,
spoiled or too ripe, may also be contami-
mated with actually death-dealing germs
