Fishermen Aided
By Japanese War

PRINCE RUPERT, BIC, Jan. IA.
-Sino-Japanese hostilities brought
an unexpected dividend to Prince
Rupert fishermen.
They have sold forty tons of dog
fish livers to a United States COM
pany at cents a pound
The livers, rich in vitamin A, are
used for medicinal purposes. The
American firm was unable to make
its usual purchases in the Orient be-
cause of disturbed conditions there,
and turned to the British Columbia
coast instead.

 gone, the old lady went to her writ ing desk and scribbled busily for 8 few moments.
 "There!" she exclaimed with satis- faction. "There's no defense like blowing the enemy up with their own powder"
 She read aloud: Mrs. Miranda Trent of Trent Hall, Nordhof, arl- nounces the marriage of her grand son, Captain Barrymore Trent, United States Naval Air Corps, to Miss Linda Benton, daughter of the former MT. and Mrs. Geoffry Ben- ton of Mount Kisco, New York. The bride is well known in her own right as a singer. During the Christmas holidays, she was featured enter tainer at a fashionable night club in a neighboring city, Well, If there's any question fl any ones mind about how we stand on this matter, I fancy that will settle it. That is-er-what do you think, my dear?"
 Linda said steadily, with her head high, For your sake and Barry's, I wish it had been different that I had not been up there showing myself, when he was-but I have nothing to hide"
 "Never waste time wishing things might have been different" snapped the Duchess. "The point is: we have nothing to hide. We make no apologies"
 There was so much to do that everyone in the house was still fly ing around when the airport called to tell them that Captain Trent had landed, and was already on his way home.
 Snow had begun to fall early that morning. The ground was white, and the boughs of the trees were bent with snowy plumes when a car came up the drive and stopped be- fore the house. Someone cleared the front steps two at time; then Barry burst into the hall, stamp ing the snow from his feet.
 Well, well!" he said, grinning at the ring of expectant faces in the hall. Tt looks like white Christ mas, after all. |. And do l smell bacon and coffee?"
 Then, in spite of Linda's good resolutions, she was crying and laughing on his shoulder, while old Miranda blew her nose and grum- bled unsteadily, Dear me, Barry! You seem to have brought the whole outdoors inside with you!'
 He was a little thin, a little hollow about the eyes, but his spirits were as irrepressible as ever, and his ap- petite was enormous. When he had answered an unreasonable number of questions, he rebelled.
 "Oh, have a heart!" he protested. "Who do you girls think am Marco Polo? I hope you haven't been getting into mischief while my back was turned. You look guilty.
 Miranda exchanged a glance with Linda, which said, we might as well tell him now"
 So Barry had to hear all about Silvia Star and read the announce ment in the paper. He listened With blank astonishment that twlnkled into amusement as he watched ms grandmother's face.
 T see," he said. "As usual. we simply thumb our noses at the vul- gar public. You didn't tell Linda, I suppose" he went on with

bland malice, about how Great aunt Julia Trent startled the neigh borhood by disgusting herself as a jockey and riding her own horse into the money at the Saint Mi chaeps sweepstakes?"
 T did not" said old Miranda. Linda doesn't need to have any ideas put into her head. She's made history enough for one generation"
 Then tht Christmas tree had to be trimmed, with Linda handing things up to Barry on the step- ladder, and old Miranda being very mysterious about the dozens of rib- bon-decked parcels she produced.
 They had supper in the drawing room, with the double doors into the front parlor thrown open so that they could see the lighted tree. It was very gay little supper, with Jefferson lowering delightedly over them, and Cicely beaming in the doorway from time to time.
 Linda went to the piano and sang for them-"The Little Lord JeSuS"- Silent Night"-"O Little Town of Bethlehem" and because old Miran- da asked for it, Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" Miranda Trent had to tell her favorite story about how, years ago, Lydia Chattam's horse had hung her by an under garment to the top of fence with her stockinged legs dangling help lessly-"for all the world like, sticks of candy, my dear Linda; because the stockings had stripes running round and round"
 Finally Barry stood up, glass raised.
 ITO the Trent women," he said. God made 'em inpredictable, and by golly, we like 'em that way!"

M OCd or the 1uture ot all China - rested in the slim young hands of pr. Sun Yat-Sen even as he began the practice of medicine in Macao after graduation from Canton and Hongkong.
 Then scarcely 25, pr. Sun had become interested in the Young China" movement. And very quickly he prescribed for the na- tion-a revolution. Shortly after ward he was compelled to leave China to escape arrest. He took up residence in the United States. and later (1896) in London, where for time he was held prisoner at the Chinese legation.
 Subsequent release was ob- tained, however, and the young doctor now turned his full atten- tion to overthrow of the Manchu dynasty. In the next few years he travelled, pre- ach d, recruited, raised funds, and secretly drilled Chinese revolutionaries. And he was rewarded. China at last es- tablished provisional republic.
 In December, 1911, a national convention elected Sun Yat-Sen first president of the new republic. He held office until 1912, when he resigned to elevate Yuan Shih-Kai to the office. There followed years of interminable strife until 1921 when Sun again became president. But the northern part of the country did not recognize him. From that date to his death in 1925,

tell me that Mice are to blame for
that?" replied Mr.. Jones. Don't try
to kid me. Tommy" he added.
Tommy grinned. II wouldn't do
that, Mr.. JONES'" said he, but let
me ask you this: If some one had
stolen> five tons Of hay after it was
cured would you have considered that
you suffered a real loss?"
Mr.. Jones was no longer smiling.
"Just what are you getting at boy?"
he demanded.
That you had lot of hay stolen
from that meadow last summer, only
it was stolen while it was green
grass" replied Tommy. "Of course.
it may not have amounted to five
tons of cured hay, but I suspect it
may have been perhaps more. There
are plenty of Mice on that meadow,
Mr.. Jones. I've seen their runways
and they pretty well cover the
meadow. One hundred Mice to the
acre is not at all an unusual num-
ber and the Biological Survey OF the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has proved that that num-
ber of Meadow Mice will in the course
of year eat one ton of green grass,
which is equal to half a ton of cured
hay. There are 10 acres in that lot,
and that means that very likely you
lost 10 tons of grass and didn't miss
it. not while it was being taken, any,
way"
Il don't believe that there can pos
sibly be any such number of Mice on
that meadow" declared Mr.. Jones
fatty.
Perhaps there isn't" agreed Tom
my, but it wouldn't surprise me il
that is an underestimate. Iguess, Mr..
Jones, that you don't know how fast
Mice increase. One of the survey in
vestigators kept pair of Meadow
Mice in captivity and they had II
families in one year. He figured that
had the sexes been equal and nothing
happened to any of the Mice there
would have been over a million at the
end of the year. Owls, Hawks and
Foxes live largely on Mice. They are
Mother Natures checks. They are not
the vermin; it is the Mice and Rats"
Mr.. Jones looked down at the Owl
pellets. You win," said he. Cant
you induce pair of Owls to come
over here to live?"

That's just it," cried Farmer
Browns Boy. That's it exactly! You
don't miss it, so you think it doesn't
amount to much. Anyway, you are
talking about House Mice What
about the Mice out in the meadows
and fields and orchards?"
We'll. what about them? I see a
Meadow Mouse now and then, and
once in while the Cat brings one
in, but I guess that there are not
enough of them to do much mischief.
In the fall they do some times get
into a shock of corn and do some
damage, but, on the whole, they are
nothing to worry about, 1 guess re-
piled Neighbor Jones, good naturedly.
You guess! That's the trouble
just guessing" declared Farmer
Browns Boy "On the way over here
I came through that young orchard
of yours. the one you set last year.
Have you been to look at it lately?"
No" said Mr.. Jones, looking up
with a startled expression. "Why?"
Some II those trees have been
girdled, PROBABLY after the last big
snow We had. From some the bark
has been taken only part way around,
but I noticed some where the Cir
ding is complete. I didn't 60 all

damage is rather serious" said
Farmer Browns Boy.
