The shrinkage in prices which has
been going on for several months
has been more pronounced in certain
districts than in others. Up to the
present time the most notable of the
recessions have been in articles of
wear, which have shown reductions
of from one-third to one-half. In
the foodstuffs there has been much
greater resistance to the general
but inevitable trend of prices. Meats
retail at war prices, but the price of
livestock has dropped to 20 per cent.
Nor have the restaurants noted that
coffee, sugar and potatoes have gone.

Anybody who owns a piece of
fresh water anywhere may have it
stocked with desirable fishes without
cost to himself. All he needs to do
is to send an application to the U. S.
Bureau of Fisheries at Washington,
and in return he will get a blank, to
be filled in with a description of the
waters to be stocked. The kinds of
fishes supplied will depend largely
upon the region where the pond or
lake is located. Experience has
proved that it is usually advisable to
introduce species native to the local
lty of the waters to be stocked.
Thousands of ponds have already
been supplied with edible fishes. g..
