Sponge Industry viii
In Three Years
Especial to The Citi.en)

which it is entitled in a few more
years, and this will be due largely
to its fishing and sponging indus
try, Bowling said.
Conservation strides made in
Monroe county are of such pro-
portions as to please me great
ly", Mr.. Bowling said referring
to recent enforcement of laws re-
garding sponging and crawfish-
ing.
The supervisor had this to re-
port on the county: Monroe
county waters, more extensive
than those of any other county,
also are more beautiful, more
productive of variety, and should
be given a chapter to themselves.
The commercial production of
seafoods here is not so important
for its volume, although this is
large, as for the variety. Cray
fish, one of the choicest of sea-
food delicacies, is another highly
important phase of the seafoodS
industry in Monroe county. Sports
fishing, of course, Is of untold
worth because Key West is a
tourist center of international
note.

Two Corporations Receive

sion, pro and con, was had on the
latter case.
Two occupational tax matters
gained denial from the council
men. Mastic Trailer Camp, un-

use a salary account in pay
ment. Pauls Tire Shop was also
denied permission to use amount
due them on account to pay all
of their occupational tax.
Telephone bill owed on eleven
city phones was ordered paid,
not without considerable discus
sion in regard to proper charging
of long distance calls. Considera-

have about 40 men,. Commander
Callahan said that the Labor
Board has recently given him au-
thority to hire men locally with
out reference to its Register,
but that this was in the case only
of ten persons. All others must
first be on the Charleston Labor
Board Register first, he said.
Then, the Station requests a GER
tain number of men of various
grades, and the Board sends
them a group of names. When
they have none of a certain
grade on the Register, it then
authorizes hirings by Station per-
sonnet.
Many others have been at the
Station recently to get jobs, but
they can be hired only if their
names are on the Register, or if
the Register has none of a GER
tain grade. Those wishing to
make application for work may
do SO by writing directly to
Charleston and filling in neces-
sary applications. There is no
formal test given for qualifica-
tions.
Commander Callahan empha-
sized that the present list of en-
ployes might be considerably aug
mented when actual operations at
the Station began.

Russian Declaration
OF War May Follow
Turkish-Engish Pact
(By Associated Press,

BERLIN, Oct. 2O.-Germany
today was dismayed at the diplo-
matte loss of Turkey in signing a
non-aggression pact with Eng
land, and Dictator Stain of Rus
STA promptly limited that Russia
may soon go to war.
Stain was quoted in a Moscow
newspaper as commenting on re-
cent Russian gains in the Baltic
area as saying, 'This strengthens
our forts in these points and
mobilizes us for new struggles
and new victories for COM
munism".
Russia also announced that
five foreign spies had been cap
tured in boat running without
lights and apparently attempting
to make landing on the Russian
coast.
Germany said that Turkeys
signing of the pact was an 'un-
neutral action" and said that
Turkey was making a grave mis-
take.
Two thousand Germans began
to evacuate from Estonia.
Turkey was Germany's ally in
the World War and occupies ar
important position. 1t COM
mands Italy's islands and also
the entrance to the Baltic Sea
The pact calls for aid for each
other in case Of an attack in the
Mediterranean Sea. There are
provisions for renewal of the
pact.

The President declined to COM
ment on whether he would ex-
tend the ban on foreign vessels to
armed vessels as well as subma-
rines. He did say. however. that
different circumstances surround
submarines and armed vessels.
The point has been raised that the
President favors the Allies by the
submarine par. There are few
German warships on this side of
the Atlantic because of the British
blockade. But there are a num-
Der of German submarines.

Inspectors Checking
Incoming Livestock

Inspectors for the state livestock
sanitary board have been exercising
great caution lately to make sure
that the large shipments of cattle
and sheep being brought in to stock
up Montana ranges are disease free,
according to State Veterinarian DIR.
w. J. Butler. Nearly 10000 head of
cattle have been brought into the
state in the last few months.
DR., Butler said stockmen should
be careful not to overstock their
ranges because they are just over
coming the overgrazed condition
caused by several drouth years. He
added that ranges are not over
stocked at present, but that the re-
cent heavy incoming shipments of
stock indicate tendency to load up
the ranges in hurry.
The stock inspectors have been
watching the importations closely,
he said. to prevent the possibility of
diseased stock being brought into
the state, now practically free of
stock ailments. Montana, he said,
ranks among the top few states in
the Union that are virtually free
of stock diseases.

Wild Onion FIavors Milk

During the spring and early sum-
mer wild onion is the cause Of much
off favored butter and milk, says
J. O. Tretsven, extension dairy spe-
cialist at Montana State college.
This difficulty may be largely avoid
ed by keeping the cows off onion
infested pastures. If this is impos-
sible, he suggests removing the cows
from such pastures at least four
hours before milking time. Should
a pasture be badly infested with
wild onions it may be necessary to
tear it up and reseed it. Small
patches of onion, however, can be
removed with a garden hoe.
