Where Do Fish Go When They Die? New Britain Conn, Aug. g, 1921.
 MT. Editor
 There is talk in my HeraAd on fishing in Shuttle Meadow lake. Now wish to state I fished there 50 ears ago and used to bring home many a good meal of fish. Then they made Durham take his boats off the lake and made us stop fishing there. Since then I have known the water to smell and taste fish, so much so that people bought spring water. Now I want to ask what be- comes of the thousands of fish that die? Why they rot in the water, don't they? Some say the big ones eat them up. Then what becomes of he big ones? They die don't they ? Some say charge the fishermen for a permit to fish. I say pay the fisher man for taking them out, you can use all the Altering and chemicals you like but the dead fish are there just the same.

VERA CRUZ STATE
 AGAINST NEW ORDER
Oppose Sharing Profits of Work.
 CTS and Employers

vera Cruz, Aug. II. (Ry Assn-
 sociated Press) and in- dustrlal interests of the state of Vera Cruz have informed Governor Tejada
 that they are absolutely opposed to
 tho operation of the state law provid-
 ing for>the distribuelon of the pro-
 its of industries among workmen and
 employers. They have declared tha:
 It will be impossible for them to op-
 crate under this law, which was sign
 cd by the governor on July 8, and
 that, rather than su bmit to it's prov lslons, they will shut down all indus
 trlal plants. Farmers assert that they
 too, will strike and refuse to plant crops if the law is enforced.
 Severa! merchants have appeared before the federal court hero and have appealed for the issuance of an injunction which would temporarily halt the operation, of the law Own CTS of commercial and industrial con- cerns describe the law as "Bolshevik" and are said to be determined to car ry their case to the supreme court if necessary to prevent the state from carrying the legislation into effect. Among the companies affected are the petroleum firms operating in the l northern part of, the state of Vera 1 Cruz, particularly in the region of l Tuxpan where rich oil deposits await
 development
 i The law which threatens to result
 in serious litigation provides that the l share of the workmen in the profits
 of concern where they are employ l ed shall not be less than ten per cent while. in some instances their share
 may be as high as 50 per cent Au-
 thority for enforcement of the law is ] vested in g special commission ap- pointed in each municipal seat of the 1 government. This commission would
 consist of three workingmen, three
 representatives of employers and a
 seventh member who would be elect ed by the other six. All employers must appear before the commission when ordered and must open their 1 books for examination by the work men's accountants.
 l Provision is made for a revision of l the law after four years but it can
 not be repealed until 1947, when a
 new state constitution will be drafted. So far as known, the state govern | though there have beer rumors that | Governor Tejada had intimated the l law might be annulled. He is quoted | as saving, however, that. the labor l unions must be consulted before he would take any definite stand regard

SPANISH MINISTRY :.
 READY TO RESIGN
Cabinet Crisis Impends = Reports From Morocco Front Are
 Meager and Conflicting.

Madrid, Aug. 11.-Premier Allen desalazar was believed today to be ready to submit the resignation of his ministry to King Alfonzo. De- velopments in the ministerial crisis have. been indicating the resignation of tAe cabinet for several days.
 Conditions in Morocco, where the disaster to Spanish forces fighting against rebellious Moorish tribesm en brought political matters in Spain to a critical situation, seem to be ob- scure.
 There are various reports current in this city, one of them being that the tribesmen have disagreed over the division of the spells captured from the Spaniards following the defeat of Gen. Silvestre's forces two weeks ago. It has been asserted that the tribesmen under the command of Ajbd- El-Krin have been deserting.
 Spanish soldiers who were separ- ated; from their main command fol- lowing the fighting in northeastern Morocco two weeks ago and who lied into the French zone there, lost heavily before making their escape from the pursuing tribesmen, lit is said in .advices from Melilla. They were constantly fighting off aNacks and lost 400 men killed. together With machine guns and rifles, before they reached Hassin Huelva, where they were welcomed by the French.
 Very strong Spanish forces have been disembarked at La Restinga,. oh the Moroccan coast southeast of Melilla, says an official statement is- sued here lad last. night.

"ALI THINGS WORK FOR GOOD"

"ALD THINGS WORK FOR GOOD."
 As matter for which, possibly no one deserves any special credit the decision to repave South Main street sons other than those advanced by those who favored postponing re- pavement in favor of fixing" it in a way that would give work to laborers but which would not involve the pay ment of a large sum of money for materials.
 It so happens that Berlin wants to buy water of Newl Britain The nat ural path the mains would take in this city, to furnish ,nis water to Der lin. would be underneath South Main street. This city, with the prospect of revenue from Berlin for the water it used, would be in strange and somewhat unfortunate dilemma if the street had already been paved or if contracts had been let therefor. Tn such case the city, did it desire to take advantage of the wish of Berlin, would have to tear up a DOT ton. at last, of the pavement in order to lay the mains to bring the water to a point where it would be acces- sible to Berlin. Here would be an added cost, with some extra work the main cost would be in the loss of | valuable material already used or contracted for.
 Of course New Britain cannot leave all it's streets unpaved in the hope that another such case may arise l that some other town may want New Britain water-but it happens in this case that there seems to have been added another good reason why per- manent pavement, or semi-permanent pavement should not be laid on that street. The street will have to be torn | up in any case, of course, should the mains be laid. | Quite possibly the matter of fish | ing in the reservoir may enter into
 thia matter. Berlin may have some thing to say about it, and the decision
 of our board of water commissioners
 may be influenced by what Berlin says. Another coincidence, therefore
 comes in the decision of the board of water commissioners to wait be- fore committing themselves on the fishing question.
 It seems as though the fates were was aiding the manifest desire of the
 officials to do the best they can fol the city.

"JEST RUMINATIN'."
(Robert Russell.

You may runinate on this or that an place a ban or bar On most anything you want to an may think how wise you are; You may write in burnin' blood or fire your precepts an your creed, An may cry in words incisive: Jest do this an you'll suc- ceed." You may be most awful honest; you may think that you are ''It,"
 But may find when that big show down" comes that you ain't fine a bit. This great fact is generally true if failures make you stop; If Encouragement gets hold O you an makes your pre- cepts flop. It is tryin' harder every time that failure comes your way,
 That is apt to bring success at last an bring it home to stay.
 So it's when the blues" near conquers you an f1abby grows your spine, That you need a drink from courage's cup, revital1zin' wine Then go tackle once again Your Job, an you yourself will know

 Here in my day. I've loved million,
 Some more or less: I'd love a billion
 To their distress. One love or more
 Why should we stop Just at the door
 Of Cupid's shop? Over the threshold
 Where dwell the doves One gets a fresh hold
 On other loves. One love or more
 Why merely one When two or four
 Flavor the fun? In Spring or Summer,

 Fashioned the blow, Caused me to harden,
 Mocking with glee; Of all love's garden,

 One love I pray. And I implore
 One love to stay. One loves a plenty
 For any man Fifteen or twenty

 No more, my sons; Who firts with war
 Peace ever shuns. Sweethearts aplenty
 Smooth out the rough Till we are twenty Then, ones enough.
