as follows:
"The perpetuatid'ii of the fish sup:
ply in the Mississippi and its tribu-
taries involves a very important indus-
try besides fishing. Investigations con-
ducted for the bureau of fisheries
’years ago showed an intimate relation
hetWeen certain kllltls of fishes and
the mussels, which yield
duslry which gives employment to
ntmut'20,000 persons. and has a prod~
uct worth from $5,000,000 to $6.000.-
"on annually.
“The young mussels, of microscopic
iron win-u thrown off by their parents
n myriads. need to pass the first few
\"f't‘lis or their independent existence
on the gills of fill. If the fishes are
not present at tln- propor time. the
mussels cannot survive. Furthermore
—and this is a mo<t inn-resting fea-
ture of the cooperation of fishes and
mussels—the young of particular kinds
of mussels require tin» gills of par-‘
ticular kinds of fishes as nurseries.

On the Asiatic side a short distance

nus. the mythological ancestor of the
Trojan king, Aeneas. and hence of
the Roman people. This city of 15,000

the “first European town to be cap-

located on the steep projecting coast
of the Galiipoll peninsula, It commands
a view of the Asiatic side—the plains
of Troy and the broken foot-hills of
Mount Ida. On this narrow peninsula
in April. 1915, allied forces were landed
in an attempt to capture the Dal-da-
nelles. When the floods drove the Brit-
ish soldiers from their trenches like
rats out of holes Turkish snipers on
the hills above picked them oil! almost

RUSSIA: THE HEIRESS OF

Never. in civilly-«l times, have so

of them. Especially has Russia been
the “with-5.5 ln-ir to periods of tlrnr

“Three Russian {amines of compara-

most severe in the history of the coun-

the first of these, periods of dearth
the governnn-nl allotted nearly $125,-
000,000 for relief work, but the sums
were not always Judlciously expended.

suffering was intense and the mortal-
ity exceedingly heavy. butlthe avail-
able statistics are not wholly reliable.
“The famine of 1911 extended over
one-third of the area of the empire in
Europe and affected more or less di-'
rectly 30,000,000 people. while 8,000.-
000 were reduced to starvation. Weeds.
the bark of trees. and bitter bread
made from. acorns constituted _the

unquestionably the most widespread
and most severe famine that has b9-

times. ‘ '
Electric irrigation.

tion of electric current for the special
purpose of irrigation. as ":15 gener-

light and power, is an unusual and in-
teresting project: recently undertaken
in Queensland. Australia. says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The method em-
ployed is to sink a large well on each
holding of land and install an elec-
trically driven pump. There are in

The Grand American
Prerogative
The right to choose is the grand American prerogative—the glory
of American democracy.
And a most important part of it—the right to choose what you buy
-——was bestowed upon you by advertising:
Advertising is as much a part of today’s life as electricity, antisep-
tic surgery or motor traction.‘ It is the system whereby a man who has
something to sell tells about it to those who do or should use it. F 01" no
one can want anything until he knows of its existence.
Advertising; is the way by which you are told why you should have
‘ certaln goods and how to identify those goods. 80 the advertisements
you find in tins newspaper make up a catalog of needed merchandise.
Articles of all kinds and for all purposes are presented in a pleas-
ant; way throughithe medium of type and pictures. The outstanding
requirements 0f every member of the family are met by offers of good
merchandise of proved value. '
The advertisements will help you in the selection of all manner of
things. “ K * ‘
\
Use. them for guidance‘ ahd "‘
you will be a\ constant gainer.
