Lobster Prices Flop
Because of a slump in the lobster
market the fishermen off the Sagada-
hoe county coast are paying but lit
tie, attention to them but are devot-
ing most of their time to catching
other varieties. The price paid the
lobster catchers by the smack has
dropped to IS cents a pound and the
lobstermen say that there is not
enough money at this price to make
it an object for them to catch these
popular custaceans. The lobstermen
say that with the cost of traps, the
cost of gasoline to run their boats
and the dangers entailed they must
have more than IS cents a pound for
them or they will quit. The break in
the market has been caused largely
by the great influx of Nova Scotia
Holsters in the metropolitan markets
during the Lenten period.

City hall was crowded Tuesday even
ing-offered the best in music, in
strumental and vocal. Just who is
best fitted to enjoy the program OF
Tuesday evening to it's utmost would
be difficult to determine. Theirs
the artists-was the proper technique,
the feeling, the skill and truly theirs
rewarded them.
Throbbing sadness and dramatic APP
peal were in Mr.. MacGregor's rendi-
ton of Vale by Kennedy Russell
The farewell, the theme of the song,
brought forth his wonderful ability of
Interpretation. 1.-THE Auld Fisher
an old Scotch song, was highly de-
scriptive of the feelings which were
held within the breast of the old fish
erman as he sat on box and looked
out to sea. He lamented the fact that
he was too old to go to sea and that
he would rather be dead. A song
from Mr.. MacGregor's own land and
he sang it for his own, bringing be-
fore his audience the vivid picture of
the old man and his emotions. 1t was
sad and it was life-like. Such songs
as this brought out his most win
ming characteristic, that of true eX-
6p-n6
Pipers," another old Scotch song,
that brought to his audience the
richness of his native expression.
"Come to the Fair" as composed by
Easthope Martin was replete with old
village customs when the crier an
nounced the events of the day. The
call of the crier was but a fitting in
strument for Mr.. MacGregor's full,
flexible voice and he rounded out the
call with exquisite finish.
Flow Thou Regal Purple Stream"
by Arnold, as sung by Mr.. MacGre-
gor, was an example of the old Eng
lish style and the runs were long
ones. But his expression of them was
adequate as he early showed his pow
err. "On The Road to Mandalay," by
Speaks, but Kipling's poem of course,
was sung by request. All the mysti-
cism and lifting lure of the eastern
tune was given full form. Perhaps
contrary to expectation, Mr.. MacGre-
gor's Irish songs We're full of brogue
and expression. He sang 1.-THE Little
Irish Girl" by Lohr as an encore and
his offering was most pleasing. "A
Chip of the Old Block" by Squire,
was another picturesque. light song

that touched the sad tones again.
Very few who heard Mr.. MacGre-
gor Tuesday evening, doubtless rea-
hzed that he went from a sick bed to
the City hall to sing. Since his arri-
val in the city he had been confined
to his bed and a local physician had
been attending him for a grip cold
and a high temperature. The grit of
the singer backed by the skill of his
doctor, bolstered him up and he ap-
poared in the concert. But it was a
source of much wonderment to those
who knew of his condition-because
he sang without a flaw. This is his
first appearance in the city--the hope
is that it will not be his last-and he
seemed one hundred per cent. pos

a warning for parents in view of the

you are not, to my mind, spreading

are creating a class against which

I agree absolutely with the argu-

the bugaboo that scared the people

A BLANKET CARD OF THANKS

The editor of this paper desires to
return thanks to the numerous friends
who fairly showered him with tokens
of remembrance during the holiday
season.
1t may seem a trifie late, but as the
last one came in only last week, and
as we have not had time to pay proper
attention to the matter before. we
hope our friends will consider US ex-
cusable.
Beginning several days before
Christmas, and ending, perhaps. last
Friday, our postoffice box has had at
least one Christmas or New Year card
with almost every mail, and several
times has been crammed full.
They were all read, as received,
with pleasure, and carefully put
away to read again and answer when
we had time. That is what we
thought at first. but we soon saw that
it was going to be impossible to an
swer them all, and as we had no rea-
looh W ShShS any 1IIcHu we OcClucu
we had best not answer, except in this
fashion.
Carefully looking them all over
Sunday, we found they numbered
more than two hundred. Most OF
them were from friends in Ocala
, where we have passed the last twenty
| eight years and two months little
more than half our life-others cam,
, from other parts of the county, on,
! or more each from seventeen states
Ione from Alaska and two from Can
[ ada, and three from khaki-clad boy
who are yet keeping the watch on tn
Rhine.

many more friends than we deserve.
