More than that, experiments have
shown that fish can be kept in this
manner for IL months.
"You know how I like sardines.
Perhaps you have noticed the cans
they come in. Practically all sardines
have come from either France or
Norway. Those two countries have
supplied the world with the best sar-
dimes. Today the Bureau of Fisheries
through its laboratory in California
has reached the point in its investi-
cation of sardine canning where it
will only be a short time until the
United States will have its own sup
ply of the highest grade sardines.
"You remember that summer when
we were at the seashore, the day when
we saw the fishermen pulling in all
those fish in a big net? All the nets
and lines that are used each year in
this country cost between $4,000, 900
and $15,000,000. The Bureau of Fish
cries is experimenting with various

OF course, such things as the
blackjack, the slungshot and brass
knuclSles are common. A short
length Of rubber hose, filed with
buckshot and stopped at the ends,
and even a stocking filed with
moist sand are used on occasion.
These instruments are ordinarily
employed to put the victim ''out",
that is to render him unconscious
for the time being, but the results
Of blows with these weapons are
frequently fatal.
Knives, dirAs, daggers and still
ettos are used principally by ale
lens from Southern Europe and
the Far East. An emigrant from
one Of the Mediterranean coun-
tries will come over here. He has
carried a weapon, probably, all
his life, but he knows he cannot
bring it into this country with him.
So he lands unarmed and one of
his first acts is to remedy what to
him is a fatal defect.
If he cannot buy or otherwise

passion and used with frightful re.
suits as any ambulance surgeon
who has treated victims of chisel-
wounds will testify. This is not
only a stabbing tool, but, if it is
heavy enough, can infiict terrible
and fatal head wounds.
In the same category of spur-of-
the-moment weapons are the but
cher's cleaver, the carving knife,
the household hatchet, axe, saw,
chair, stool, milk-bottle and even
the kitchen fork, all Of which
have been used frequently enough
to be listed as murder tools.
There was even a recent case in
Europe where a bride hit her new
husband on the head with brass
bound bible and killed him.
The hat pin has been employed
with fatal results on several &C.
casions. The first case of this
character to attract public atten-
tion puzzled the police for quite a
while, and it was not until the
autopsy revealed a puncture of the
heart and a small black spot on
the flesh over the organ that the
authorities were able to determine
the cause of death.

Of suspicion to be turned on the
operator.
There have been occasions when
men have been struck on the head
with a folded newspaper and fatal
results have followed owing to the
fact that a length Of lead pipe was
concealed in the folds Of the
paper.
Razors have figured in hund-
reds Of homicides. This weapon
is commonly associated with the
negro, but its use is by no means
confined to that race. There was
q time when many Of the genus
hobo used the razor not only for
its legitimate purpose, but as a
means Of oflense and defense.
Held in the crotch of the hand,
between the thumb and index fin
ger, with the blade folded back
against the handle, and with a
coat held over the left forearm to
guard against the opponents
strokes, the razor is a formidable
weapon.
A carpenters chisel is employed
infrequently. This is more of a

All Of the foregoing, however,
are crude and strictly utilitarian
means Of dealing death. There
are others Of a more artistic nat
ure, as it were.
Take, for instance, the typhus
germs which the Paris police dis
covered. Could anything be bet

to accomplish the purpose? Yet
we have had parallel cases in this
country where typhoid and pneu-

Crops have been good, on the whole
Prices of the major crops are mostly
considerably higher. While there has
been corresponding advance in the
prices of the things the farmer must
buy, the total sum which farmers will
receive for the crops of this year is
greater by billion and half dol
lars or more than that which they
received for the crops of last year.
This will certainly mean better times
on the farm, and farm folks will be
able to ease up little on the grinding
economy they were forced to practice
the preceding year.
The labor cost of producing the
crops Of 1922 was still further reduc-
ed. There were some substantial re-
ductions in freight rates. Much help
full legislation has been enacted and
more will be this winter. Interest
rates are lower and the credit strain
has been eased. This has made it pos
sible for many farmers who were ra-
ther heavily involved to refund their
obligations and get themselves in con-
dition to win through.
There are still some dark spots. In
some sections weather conditions
were unfavorable and crops were
short, and farmers in these sections
are having very hard time of it.
Freight rates are still too high, es-
pecially for those who must pay for a
long haul to market.
Taxes are high, but this is largely
due to the increase In local taxes,

means Of preserving these expensive
nets and lines against the hard usage
and salt water. A way has already
been perfected.
Besides all these phases of inves-
tigation for the fishing industry, the
Bureau Of Fisheries observes the hab-
its and history Of every kind Of fish
known. Ocean currents are studied to
find which way the small fish are
drifting. The study of oysters is car
ried down to the smallest detail. Some
men do nothing but search for what
makes fish sick, for they found that
fish get sick just as we do.
"But probably the greatest work Of
all is that Of conservation-saving the
fish in the beginning so that the sup
ply will lalways be enough. Many
thousands Of fish eggs are saved each
year, for fish are Matched, you know,

huid to these human qualities that
our indlvidualism departs from the
individualism Of Europe. There
can be no rise for the individual
through the frozen strata of class
es, or Of cagtes, and no stratifica-
ton can take place in a mass liven-
ed by the free stir of its particles.
The pioneers Of our American in
dividualism had the good sense not
to reward Washington and Jeher-
son. and Hamilton with hereditary
dukedoms and fixtures in landed
estates, as Great Britain rewarded
Marlborough and Nelson. Other
wise our American fields of oppor-
tunity would have been clogged
with long generations inheriting
their fathers privileges without
their fathers capacity for service.
That our system has avoided the
establishment and domination Of
class has significant proof in the
present Administration in Washing
ton. OF the twelve men compris-
ing the President, Vice-President
and Cabinet, nine have earned their
own way in life without economic
inheritance, and eight Of them
started with manual labor.
The domination by arbitrary in
dividual ownership is disappearing
because the works Of to-day are
steadily growing more and more be-
yond the resources of any one in
dividual, and steadily taxation will
reduce relatively excessive individ-
ual accumulations. The number of

exercise control.
There has been gratifying growth
in farmers cooperative marketing
associations, and more of them are
being organized on a sound business
basis.
Aside from the help which has been
given by legislation and by adminis-
tration activities, strong economic
forces are at work to restore a more
normal relation between agriculture
and other industries.
The peril in the agricultural de-
preston is more keenly realized by
other groups than ever before, and on
every hand sincere desire is being
evidenced to do what can be done
safely to help the farmer better his
condition.
Everything considered, we have
good reason to expect still better
things for agriculture in the year

Twelve months ago most Of the six
million farmers of the United States
were starting on the long hard climb
out of the valley of economic depres-
sion. They have not yet attained the
heights which are bathed in the CRATE
full sunshine of prosperity. Some, in
deed, have fallen by the way. Others
are still in the valley. Nevertheless,
as we stop bit and look backward
we can see that very considerable
ground has been gained by the great
majority, and we can enter the New
Year with renewed hope and with
that courage which comes from the
realization that we are really making
progress.
A year ago, when speaking Of the
prospects for farming in 1922, said
that while there was no reason to ex-
pect boom times for the farmer in the
near future, there was promise Of
better times, both for the farmer and
for those whose business is largely
dependent upon him. The year has
brought a fulfliment Of that promise.

much better, than year ago, both for
agriculture and for industry,

into the room. You were the one who

to do is help around the house and it
seems to me that once in a while you
could feed the fish. It wouldn't take
you two minutes"
Seems like the poor little gold fish
are again causing an argument" 4"
said Uncle Ted as he arrived on the
scence. why don't you take turns
looking after them? You take care of
them one week, Jack and Ruth the
next, and so on. That way would be
fair and easy for you BOTH"
That's a fine idea," said Jack.
81 think so too," said Ruth.
"Then be sure to follow it. While
we are sitting here, and inasmuch as
we are talking of fish, I'll tell you
something about fish. This isn't a fish
story but little information you
should have regarding the. fish indus
try and the part Uncle Sam plays in
it. Very few people realize what an
tenormOus business it is and what an
important role the government fills.
1t is quite a jump from those three
little gold fish swimming in that little
bowl to the realization that $500, ,000,-
900 pounds of fish are produced in the
United States every year and that
100000 is invested in the business
by Americans.
"This industry is so big that there
is separate division of the govern
ment to look after it, known as the
Bureau Of Fisheries. You see, kiddies,
this bureau is concerned with several
things. One of the most important is
experimenting with raising fish with
which to replace the thousands that
are caught for food each year. For this
work experimental stations are locat-
ed in almost every state in the Union
as well as Alaska. The bureau also
studies carefully what kinds Of fish

meat do you think the average citizen
of this country will eat in a year?
Well, it is more than 100 pounds,
while he eats less than Is of fish. You

gagged in the industry to have the adj
vantage of the Investigations of this

zone of the hardest problems to
solve was how to ship fresh fish a
great distance without spelling. For
many years only dried on salted fish
could be shipped into the interior of
the country. Today, thanks to the Bu-
reau of Fisheries, a method has been
worked out so that the fish are frozen

without number. Famous among
these was that Of the New York
dentist who poisoned his wife'a
mother and father, one after the
other, by administering arsenic In
increasing doses in their food, and
who, at the funeral Of his father
in-law, announced that he feared
his wife, who inherited q consid-
erable estate through the death Of
her parents, would never bear up
under the shook. Fortunately,
his crime was discovered before
his wife succumbed to the malady.
Powered glass In food has also

gas. There was the case Of the
deniEen of New York's Chinatown
who was found dead in his bed,
with a tube leading from the gas
jet in the hall to the keyhole Of
his looked bedroom door.
So, In spite Of the Bar Associa-
tion's findings, It is not always
firearms that are responsible for
homicides and the way to stop
murder is not by prohibiting the
manufacture and sale Of weapons

be effectively done-but by putting
a strong curb on the murder inn
