September time is here anew—
I’ll take a bowl of oyster slew;

The crackers always seem so few.3"

It has been a perfect sum m er for
oysters, the oysterm en report. It
seems th at they thrive in a season
when there are few sto rm s and
little rough w ater. Still, we are
firm believers in environm ent, and
we think a sum m er like this has
cost the oysters considerable c h a r

rugged upbringing and w ith a sug
