Washington.—The vast Atlantic coastal fishing industry, worth hun dreds of millions of dollars, at last is to get a share ot the federal gov ernment’s protective attention. Commerce and State department officials, it was learned recently, are making plans to negotiate im portant fish treaties with Canada, Mexico and several additional Latin- American countries, for the protec tion of the existing schools of mi gratory fish in the Atlantic. On the basis of this treaty it was learned, congress probably will be asked to enact some migratory fish control legislation for interstate as well as international application. Proponents of t|ie treaty pointed out that constitutional limitations made it impossible for congress to enact any migratory bird legislation until the bird treaty with Canada was negotiated and ratified, but a Supreme court ruling held that this treaty made it incumbent upon con gress to pass legislation to effect the treaty. The same system is being fol lowed in the case of migratory fish. Most important among the migra tory fish, from a commercial as well as sporting point of view, are the striped bass and the bluefish. The latter are particularly im portant, in that they spend most of their existence either moving from north to south along the coast al banks or vice versa. While some states have highly protective legislation, others have little or none.

Authorized Dealer W vice, on the part of one universally acknowledged to be master, would seem anom alous did not spiritual un derstanding discern their inseparable nature. According to the ttrst chapter ol Genesis, man, in the image and like ness of God, has dominion— even over ail the earth. This declaration of tru th , however, rem ains but an ab stract statem ent until proved by dem. onstration. In dem onstration it soon becomes apparent th at the g reater the service rendered, and the g reater our understanding of the spiritual nature of right service, the more scientifi cally do we prove our spiritual do minion. The meaning of service became elevated and ennobled recently in the thought of one who, seeking In a well-known dictionary for a defini tion of "serv an t,” found amongst other renderings, "One consecrated to God.” Because men are growing into a better understanding of spiritual values and proportionately relaxing tbelr tenacious grasp upon m aterial things, service Is being recognized more and more as the way to happi ness and progress. When on th at well-known occasion, the Master, girding himself with a towel, proceeded to perform the hum ble service of washing the disciples feet, he set a seal of spirituality on service which It can never lose. The tin t thought of m ortal mind under like circum stances would be one ot superiority to such an action. Yet but I'ttle study shows how there sim ply could not be anything In mortal thought superior to the spiritual qualities which m an —as Christ Je sus understood him— forever reflects Of our m ortal selves we do nothing. Man’s tru e being is In God, and Is manifested In the reflection of the Godlike qualities of love, kindness, usefulness, activity, and service, in short, in these qualities man express es the divine Principle.

D.—Because a group of Cheyenne Indians chose late sum mer instead of fall for the great bison drive, a “buffalo graveyard” exists near here today which is so large it recently was mined for ma terial for bone markets Mrs. Joseph E. Waggoner, of Kel- dron, whose mother was a member of Sitting Bull’s famous command, tells the story of the mass of bones and traces it to the years 1825 to 1835. At that time the Cheyenne, hav ing driven other tribes from the Dakota region only to be themselves forced westward by more power ful tribes, decided on one last hunt. Accordingly, they scattered and started driving herds of bison to ward a high bluff on the Grand riv er. When the animals were milling near the bluff they were driven over, the wounded dispatched and Service and Dominion great quantities of meat removed from the carcasses.

PAGE FOUR Average American Pays $2.50 a Week for Food Washington.—The average Ameri- • ican family spends about §2.50 a , week a person for food, accord ing to a survey by the bureau of home economics of the Department of Agriculture. The weekly food bill ranged from 65 cents to $7 a • person last year among 20,000 fami lies surveyed in all parts of the United States, the bureau reported. New England families tend to spend more money for food than families in. other regions, the sur vey showed. Southeastern families, largely because of the number of negroes, spend the least. Pacific coast food budgets are more likely to provide adequate diets than in other regions of the country, largely because of lower food costs, the bu reau said. Three-fourths of the small city and village families in New England spent less than $3.65 per capita weekly for food during 1936, the sur vey showed. The bulk of this group spent between $2.30 and $3.65 a week. In contrast with New Eng land, negro families in the small cities and villages of the Southeast spend the least for food of any group covered by the study. í^ ^ ís s '/ie xT.vri:.— * 1937 JOYOUS i 'aasæ C H R ISTm fiS 1937 Hermiston Cooperative Laundry & Cannery Book Out 20 Years Syracuse, N.
