I in Porto Rico in the way of public
amusements, SO | have contrived one
of my own-nly favorite pastime too
! fishing for sharks. About two months
ago many of the crew bought large
fishhooks and heavy lines to fish for
sharks, but whenever they did nook
one, the gentleman simply swan away,
taking bait, hook, sinker and part or
all of the line with him. After watch
ing these poor results for while l
decided 10 make some tackle that
would hold any shark that ever nib
bled. / forged hook eight inches
long and 31a inches across from the
back to the shank out of a piece of
five-eighth inch round tool steel.
Then to keep him from biting off my
line ! attached nine feet of three
strand cable about the diameter of a
lead pencil and capable Of holding
three tons. And then on this / fasten-
ed 800 feet of the best five eighth inch
MANILA rope. | baited the hook with
about two pounds of tainted meat and
threw it overheard. This first shark |
caught was slightly over eleven feet
long. The second was nine feet long.
This fellow when cut open was found
to have in his stomach two old shoes,
an old straw hat, part of a pair of
trousers, two smaller fish, chunks of
meat thrown over from ships,
oranges, bananas and various other
junk. This last trip ! caught a lady
shark at Ponce P. R., that was IL feet
three inches long and 81 inches in
girth, though the Spanish paper
there stretched it a bit by saying she
was 10 feet long and 105 inches in
girth. We estimated this one to
weigh between 800 and 1000 pounds.
1t took about Is or 20 men to land
Der nthe deck. When we opened her
up we found AZ baby sharks almost
fully developed quite remarkable
fact and turn of nature in itself)
They we're about 10 inches long and
had their eyes open but were still
without teeth. When placed in water
they swan away though believe they
were too young to survive. After the
baby sharks are born I am told that
the father and mother will swallow
them temporarily In times of danger.
Only three or four perhaps would
live to become full grown. In her
stomach we found two chickens aid I

FARM BUREAU HEAD
TELLS ITS PURPOSES

American Farm Bureau Federation.)
ct has always been the policy of
the county farm bureau and the Off
GERS in charge of it to avoid any
thing bordering upon class conscious
ness, or which would tend to destroy
any other line of business. In the
| last analysis, there is no distinction
between the interests Of the producer
and the consumer, between the inter
ests of the farmer and the town
dweller 1t is true the farmer could
I live longer without the men in town
than could the urbanite without the
farmer, but Immediately the farmers
activities would be limited only to
that which he himself consumes on
his farm. He must have an outlet
for surplus production. 1t is to the
farmers interest that the city pros
per. Call it sefishness on our part
if you want, but we as farmers are
dependent upon railroads and manu-
featuring, upon wholesalers and re-
tailers. The more healthy the general
business of the country is, the better
it is for the farmer. I would selfish
ly like to see every laboring man in
the country employed every day of

sured of a certain market for the
surplus of my farm. I have no SYM
pathy whatever with any farm move
ment which tends to build up agri-
culture at the expense of any other
industry, for it would in itself defeat
its own end very rapidly. Neither
have I any sympathy with any line of
business which tends to push down.
ward agriculture or agricultural
prices to the exploitation Of other

have in this country is proper econ

amount of water laying hen re-
quires. In the evening wheat and
corn in equal proportions and few
handfuls of whole peas are thrown in
the litter ready for them as soon as
they get off the roosts in the morn

before them. It consists of ground
oats, corn, barley, oyster shell and
peas with a small amount of meat
scraps and oil meal. For green feed,
this winter, l have used cabbage.
This made first class substitute for
sprouted oats. When the hens have
all the sour milk and curds they can
consume the meat scraps can be cut

are used in the dry mash. And let me

ELKS VALENTINE BALL
A BRILLIANT AFFAIR

One of the most brilliant affairs of
the season was the Valentine dance
given by the Elks at their temple
Monday evening. The whole temple
was mass of hearts, valentines,
and streamers. The tables were gor-
geous in their valentine apparel, and
the many good eats, valentine speci-
ais everywhere, and such specials the
more you ate the more you wanted to
eat. The attendance was large, the
music superb, not an Elk but felt
proud of their splendid orchestra, the
more they played the more you want
ed them to play. The affair was only
another demonstration of how the
Elks do things.

seeing the lady chew off a pine pole
two inches in diameter almost as nice

After catching one we always take
out the backbone which makes an ex-
cellent cane if properly cleaned, and
each section mounted on a brass rod.
This takes considerable time and pa
thence. The Jaws and teeth are quite
a relic. The skin makes excellent
leather. The outersurface of the skin
is very rough, something like sand
paper or emory cloth and is used for
polishing purposes. peculiar fea-
ture is that sharks will not readily
enter a closed harbor and ran be
caught only in an open harbor. Shark
fishing is quite exciting and has it's
thrills and is a good form Of amuse-

FAMOUS REX BEACH STORY

COMING TO PALACE.
 The great snow storma ast-Febru- ary, which stopped traffic on the rail roads and entirely isolated towns like Port Henry, on Lake Champlafn, were a blessing in disguise. This has been one of the most severe winters Port Henry has ever experienced. but also one of the most prosperous. And the reason is the motion picture
 As soon as Rex Beach heard of the ideal conditions as' Port Henry, for Alaskan snow scenes, the Gofdwyn company sent their actors and direc- tors to Lake Champaign to -taiSe the winter scenes for the next Beach pie ture7 entitled, "The North Winds Mal- ice,'' which will be shown at the Pal ace theater for three days commenc- inc.
