FISH LAWS OF THE
STATE OF MISSOURI

STATE OF MISSOURI
Owing to some confusion in inter
preting the Fish Laws, Floyd G. Cal
laway, Deputy State Game and Fish
Commissioner, writes the following
article which will be great help to
market, fishermen and dealers engag-
ed in buying and selling game fish.
Sec. 5625-The sale of bass, crap
pie and Jack salmon is prohibited dur
ing January, February, March, April
and May no matter where the same is
obtained.
Sec. 5627-Prescribes legal size of
fish to be sold or offered for sales.
These sizes are given for fish in their
natural condition. Dressed fish shall
be measured by deducting one-fourth
of specified length when head is re-
moved. They shall be measured from
the "fork of tail".
Sec. 5621-Gigged fish cannot be
sold at any time.
Sec. 5621-Game fish "from Mis-
souri, Waters" cannot be sold at any
time but, there are other sections
which are confusing. They refer to
fish obtained from "overflow waters
and waters of Temporary formation
within this state. These are not pro-
hibited except section 5625 which
names, bass, crappie and jack salmon
as unlawful to be sold during Jan
uary, February, March April and
May.
Sec. 5621-The words "game fish
are very uncertain language, also the
word "goggle-eye" means practically
nothing because of multiplicity of fish
locally designated as such by the pub.
| lie.
Bass, crappie and trout are posi-
/ lively named and the meaning car

WHEN UNIONISM WILL DIE

When the lion eats grass like an OK,
And the fshworm swallows the whale;
When the terrapn knits woolen soX,
And the hare is outrun by the snail;
When serpents walk upright like men,
And doodebugs travel like frogs;
When grasshoppers feed on the hen,
And feathers are found on the hogs;
When insects in summer are rare,
And snuff never makes people sneezs;
When tomcats swim in the air,
And elephants roost upon trees;
When fish creep over dry land,
And mules on bicycles ride;
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress take no pride;
When devils we no longer fear,
And girls go to preaching on time,
When billygoats butt from the rear,
And treason is no longer a crime;
When humming birds bray like an ass,
And limburger smells like cologne;
When ploughshares are made out of glass
And hearts Of workmen are stone;
When ideas grow in an empty head
And wool on a hydraulic ram,
Then unionism perhaps will be dead
But the world won't be worth damn.

domestic use. They must have good
streets, comfortable dwellings and
numberous other things, all Of which
require the eXpending of energy ard
vast sums of money.
The members of the Chambers of
Commerce claim they are organized
for this purpose, which is considered
good Amercanism. Now the ques-
ton is this: Suppose Chamber of
Commerce has been organized in a
city needing all the above factors,
and through cooperation with other
citizens have accomplished their aim,
how much would they appreciate or
even allow to remain in that city, a
group of men and their families who
would say, eve like your city, you
have have everything that goes to
make good place to live, but we will
not expend any of our energy 20
further its best interests. All we
want is place to live, and we will
not spend dollar either for the
present or new Improvements or to
increase business" That class Of
people would be considered undesir-
able citizens, and would not be ap
preciated by the Chamber of Com
merce as body or by the individual
members.
The same principle applies to labor
organizations. Labor unions are or
ganiZed for the purpose of improving
the working conditions in mills, fac
tories, etc. To acquire that which
union men have been striving to at
tain for the last forty years has de-
manded all that is required Of the
members of the Chambers Of Com
merce, to say nothing of the sacrifices
and the humiliation a union man en-
counters, and we union men do not
hesitate to make known that We do
not appreciate men who enjoy all
that we have accomplished in the way
of wages and working conditions and
yet are not willing to bear their Just
share of the burden.
Regardless of the change OF atti-
tude of Mr.. Baker or any other man
of greater or lesser note, we intend
to oppose the non-union men, and will
oppose the open shop for time i'm
memorial.
The attitude of such men who ad-
vocate the open shop does not cause
dismay among union men. If there
is a strong widespread sentiment
against labor unions, due to the belief
that the practices followed by unions
are a fetter on economic freedom, we
are well aware of the fact that it is
caused by the propaganda issued by
small minority which cannot give
logical reason for their attitude.
1t is long since recognized duty of
every man to pay his just share of
taxes to defray the expense of the
upkeep of the CITY or community in
which he lives. We union men con-
tend and insist that all men working
in any industry should pay their just
proportion of the expense of main
tanning the right of collective bar
gaining which is the only means Of
maintaining the American standard
of living

AmeriCaniSm and
UniOniSm
By John Bush

An article appeared in one of our
daily papers of a recent date, taken
from the New York Commercial, un-
der the caption "Americanism and
Unionism." 1t was an expression of
unions and the open shop in their re-
lation to Amercanism.
The essay in the outset states
During the war there was no stronger
friend of organized labor than Newton
D. Baker, Secretary of War at that
time. Latterly he has been compelled
to change his attitude because, as he
declares, there has been little or no
headway made by trade unionism in
the last ten years, and because there
is a strong widespread sentiment
against labor unions due to the be-
lief that the practices followed by the
unions are a fetter on economic free
dom.
Had the writer left out the sue
ceeding paragraphs the average
reader possibly may have been at Il
loss to know the cause of the sudden
change of attitude on the part of so
staunch friend of labor. Mr.. Baker,
lIlC W1lICI l1lCl SIdICSS uCHS pCCii
recently elected president of the
Chamber of Commerce of Gle Gland,
Ohio. Their assertion will suffice to
make clear his reasons for making
the former statement and for coming
out strongly in favor of the open
shop.
Why Mr.. Baker, as we'll rs many
other learned men as members Of a
Chamber of Commerce, which is a
civic body having for its object the
making of the city in which it is To-
Gated better place to live in, oppose
labor unions and advocate the open
shop is mystery to union men.
To have a city that is good place
to live in there must be good schools,
churches, theaters and newspapers
the mediums of education of all
classes. The city must have good
water plant for fire protection and

STATE GOES OVER.
Cooperative Cotton Association
Assured for South Carolina.

Over 100000 bales of cotton
We're signed to the cotton coope-.
rative marketing contract by May
l and the organization of the
South Carolina Cotton Growers
Cooperative association is now
assured. Announcement to this
effect was made at the headouar-
ters of the association in Colum-
bia Monday night.
A total of 4OS.OOO bales had
been signed by Saturday night.
April 29, and reports from over
the State indicated that between
10000 and $4,000 bales were
signed Monday, so that approx
mately 425,O00 bales have been
signed III all, but it will be sew
eral days before the tabulation is
completed.
Announcement that the quota
of bales for the State had been
secured was gratifying to the
large number of workers and
farmers interested in the cam
paign. There also was much in
terest i'll the campaign in other
States and many kilograms were
received at the headquarters Of
the association from North Caro-
lima, Georgia, Texas, Alabama,
and other States in the cotton
belt which have already either
organized for the cooperative
marketing of the staple or are in
the process of organization.
The latest reports Obtainable
indicate that there were about
l. 900 bales of cotton signed up
in York county in the coopera-
tive campaign which closed Mon
day. The quota for the county
was about 1000 bales less than
the 1900. In Fort Mill township
something like 1000 bales, or
one-third the normal crop, was
pledged to the cooperative mar
keting association.

sion, the home of his mater
nal ancestors for the greater
part of the last century, having
been built by his greatgrandfa-
ther, the late Col. VIM. E. White,

decidedly different appearance
today to what it did some months
ago, however, when wOrkmen be-
gan converting it into one of the
most modern homes to be found
in this section. When it was
occupied by Capt. Springs for
the first time this week he found

the building practically complete,

bic work to be done OIL the

forksAS ASseeiation Secretary Makes
Encouraging Report.

SVs8AAs8 3SVeVA ss
An encouraging report of the
first years operations of the Fork
Potato Growers association, or
ganized by farmers Of lower Fort
Mill township last spring, has
just been made by l.. M. Massey,
secretary. The purpose of the
association is to grow, cure and
market sweet potatoes, and the
report shows that while the bus
mess was undertaken ON a mod
es scale it has nevertheless been
success and an additional stor-
age house, larger than the origi-
nal one, is now being built to
take care of the 1922 crop. Prac-
tically all of the sales of the as
sociati0n last year were made in
Fort Mill and Rock Hill. Nine
hundred bushels were marketed
to dealers in the two towns, be-
sides 200 bushels which were sold
to seedsmen. Winthrop, college
also was good customer of the
association. The average price
obtained for the potatoes was
$1.50 per bushel.
The original storage house of
the association has a capacity of
$500 bushels. In this house last
year were cured 1900 crates OF
potatoes each with "a capacity of
/ Ia bushels. This year there
will be marked increase in the
acreage the members of the asso-
clationS put to potatoes and to
cure the additional product Il
second storage house, with a ca
pscity of 3, 100 bushels, is now be-
ing erected, with still another
house to accommodate $500
bushels in contemplation.
1t is the intention of the Fork
association to join the State Po-
tato Growers association as soon
as the volume of it's product is
large enough to enable it to make
carload shipments. The Porto Rico
variety is grown exclusively by
the association, and consumers
-testifytO the superiority of the
cured" potato over that which
is banked"
=, c. s. Armstrong is president Of
the Fork association and to him
the secretary gives much credit
for the success of the enterprise.
Mr.. Armstrong says he is salts
fled that potatoes are more
profitable crop than cotton un-
der boil weevil conditions, even
should the staple sell at 20 cents.

ENcAMPMENT m juicy.
Fort Mill Companies to Go. to
Camp Jackson.

The annual encampment of the
11Sth regiment, s. G. N. G., of
which both the Fort Mill infan-
try company Company g. and
the Third battalion headquarters
company located here are units,
is to be held at Camp jackson,
Columbia, beginning July Is. The
encampment will last Is days and
is expected to prove of great
value to the militiamen. Last year
the encampment Of the regiment
was held at Mount Pleasant,
near Charleston. On account of
the continued rains and the wet,
soggy condition of, the target
ranges and the drill grounds, the
encampment ut Mount Pleasant
was not the success militia off.
Gers had hoped for and at it's
close the adjutant generals de-
partment was quoted at saying
the regiment would not again be
ordered to that place for it's an
nual encampment. =.
Conditions at Camp jackson
are considered all that could be
desired for the encampment.
There the regiment will use bar
racks and other buildings put up
for the National army during the
World war and will have access
to the splendid rifle ranges and
drill grounds at the camp. There
also are other features at Camp
Jackson which make it attractive
as the place for the encampment
of the regiment.
The Fort Mill infantry com
pany, known locally as the Tom
Hall Guards, is commanded by
Capt. Frederick Minis, Jr., and
is considered one of the most
thoroughgoing units of the 11Sth
