The fish and tfnuie commission s biennial re port to the governor was filed Mon day nml n copy was also forwarded to Representative Holland, chairman f the house eominittee on fisheries, to be printed. The report, which is n voluminous i affair, included special reports from J the different heads of the commis- sion's work and makes its recommcn- dations for legislative action. I f The eloso of June 30, lillO, found : all funds of the fish and name eom lnission in n solvent condition, the re port says, in spite of a reduction of more than $1100 in license revenue suffered duriiifr the year. Asks Increased Power. The commission recommends that it be jjiven power to assign any or all of the duties of the master fish war den, state game warden or their dep uties to any person ns may be desir able. Such power, the commission says, would make it possible for them to get butttr administrative results of tin; working force of the commission. It should also be given the power to fix the salaries of the deputies as de sired. The commission also desires that the legislature give it general power to do whatever the good of the serv ice demands, and not to restrict its powers by definite rule of the law, as is at present. It also asks that game animals lie defined by law and that the commission be given power to de clare any animal a game . animal should necessity arise. "Would ltleiluce. Doer LfniH. The commission desires the .open season for deer to be fixed from Au gust 1") to October 15, and the limit reduced from three to. two. It asks that, the open season for migratory birds be made to conform with the federal statute and run from October 1 to January .". and that the bag limit be unchanged. The commission desires that the old restriction against killing Chinese ! pheasant hens be rc-cnaeted. It also asks that the trout limit be fised at .50 trout or :t" pounds per day, or '100 trout of 70 pounds in seven con : ' secnlive dav. It also recommends that the sale of game and game fish be pennitted in the open market under regulations prescribed by the commission. Pimm and automatic guns are placed under the ban by the connnis sion, which recommends that their use be prohibited by law. . , Tiicreused License. It asks that a fee of $2 be fixed for game breeders' permits and 0)1)1' the hunting and fishing license, be raised to l.rU. It also recommends that a law be enneted granting re ciprocal hunting and fishing rights ' with the citizens of Washington, Calj 1'oniia, Nevada and Idaho, to become effective whenever those states cu acted similar laws. " It reports that $10,000 in fines for law violations have been collected, and asks that the law be so changed that this money shall go into the game protection fund rather than into the county treasuries. The report recommends that laws governing fishing on the ( olumbia river be uot changed except that n statule he passed making it unlawful for salmon to be caught outside the three-mile limit off the mouth of the Columbia during the period from Au gust 25 to September 10. Appropriation is Asia's. The commission asks an appropri ation of $20,000 for Bonneville, $22, 000 for hatchery Xo. 2. It also asks that the law be si changed that conviction of violation will work an automatic confiscation of all gear used in connection with the. violation.. It wants to raise the salary of the deputy fish wardens to $1200. and the salary of the book keeper to $1500. ' ' . , II. K. Clanton asks that more ponds, lie provided at Bonneville, that a new building be erected containing from 150 to 200 new propagation tanks, that n barn be constructed and tliut a sewer system he installed under the lower ponds. Various recommenda tions arc made regarding the other hatcheries. The report shows that more than ten million game fish fry were dis tributed during Kilt! and that more than seventeen million spring chinook and nearly three million sockeye fry were released in (he Columbia during the year. EWING APPOINTED LAND OFFICER AT SAND POINT WASHINGTON". Jan. II'.. Presi dent Wil-on today sent the following nomination to the -cnatc: Arthur J. F.n ing of Sand Point. Idaho, receiver of public moneys at Coeur d'Alcnc. By STKliUXO. TKACY. MEMPHIS, Turn., Jan. lb-. With fifty years of freedom behind them, uegro funnel's of this part of the south are buving automobiles by the thousand, res ultof their reaping part of the nation's, unprecedented pros perity. Not only are black men buyingj pleasure em's, but many motor trucks for hauling farm products. I In Clarksville, .Miss., alone, 100 touring ears have been sold to negroes since the gathering of the cotton crop. Negroes arc sacrificing the com fort of their homes for the luxury of tho automobile. Little improvement is noticeable, however, in their farm houses throughout Arkansas, Missis sippi and Alabama, I'doiuw Still Exist. The condition of the negroes on the farm, while vastly better than it was ten years ago, is still little better than slavery. They nro massed on large planta tions and practically compelled to stay on the land. It is the policy of the plantation owner to keep the negro tenants hope lessly .in debt. Then he is sure of keeping them, especially in Missis sippi, where there is a law prohibiting a negro from leaving the land so long as he is in debt to the owner. Often in land snles in this territory the negroes go along with the bar gain. , ' This somewhat somber picture is offset to some extent by the condition of the city negro and those living on farms near cities. ' In this city tilonc negroes own real estate valued at least at a million dol lars. . They have bank accounts ag gregating a quarter of n million. Hun dreds owu their owu homes. . . " Negro Labor Thriving. ' Negro labor is thriving here. In fact the state factory inspector for west Tennessee reports the spread of negro labor has resulted in displacing white men and is considered a grow ing menace. ' ' ; Negro schools arc introducing man ual and mechanical training and ne- ro children show a1 marked adapta bility for these branches. Schools are overcrowded and chil Ircn arc e.iger to attend. Illiteracy is fast being reduced among the ne groes. A better understanding seems to obtain in this section now between the negroes and the whites. The tendency appears to be toward industrial free dom and equality, rather than toward social equality. The old game of "skinning" the negroes is passing away, and most of the white people stand ready to guar antee to tho negro every dollar he earns. City, county and state governments all over this section arc looking to ward the welfare of the negro as never before. It is recognized that he is a valuable asset if properly de veloped. IN PEACE MOVE MADRID, Jan. 16. An Intimation that the king of Spain may play s prominent part In coming peace ue gotlatlons, was given In a speech by Eduardo Dato, former premier, at a banquet given by the moderate sec tion of tho conservatives. Great Im portance Is attached to the words ot Senor Dato. He saldr "On a day more or less distant and please God that day may be near the great: prestige gained by our king may, for the greater good of bU' menlty, make of him a messenger of pence. Let us have confidence, gentlemen, In the destinies of our dear laud, while cxprescslng wishes for the peace of the world and the prosperity of Spain.

Business done by Carver Pros., in 191C totaled $4 05,000. Can Strnsbitrff, a town or 1.000 In habitants, hurled in the heart ot the rural district, support such a store? Strasburg can't and doesn't. To ring up $4 65,000 ou the Clar ver cash register, every man, woman and child lu tho village would have to spend In the store, $l.f0 a day. It's tho people who live within a 30-mlle radius who inako possible the enormous proposition of Garver nros., business. Canton, a city of 75.000, and Masslllon, of 15,000 are within this radius. Why Is it, then, so many people who might just as well patronize Canton and Maaslllon stores are con vinced Qarver Bros, have Just as good quality and selection of goods at 'just us reasonable prices G. Albert Garver, the head of tho firm answers: "WE ADVERTISE." The store was started by the Gar ver boys' father. Twenty-two years later the father turned the business over to his sons, the lato G. Rudolph Garver and (1. Albert, to be paid for at the rate of $18 a week aB long as ithc of the parents lived. The fathers' business was just that of the ordinary country store. An annual turn-over of ? 10,000 had been Its poak performance. Tho bops struggled ulong a short vnlue of advertising. , A hand printing press and some type were sent to Rudolph by a friend CAI LONDON, Jan. IB. The presence In Greece of General Von Fnlken- hayn, former German chief of stuff and of late in command of part of the forces engaged in tho campaign against Humania, is reported In Freilch official quarters at Salonlki, according to a Rcuter dispatch from that point. General Von Falkenhayn Is said to have embarked on a Gorman sub marine at the Greek port of Kavala, now in the hands of the Germans and to have landed at a point on the Greek coast whence he made his way to Larissa. The absence of his name from the official Uerltn war reports has been noted for some rfliys. Previous messages from Salonlki said It was General Duron Von Falkenhnuscn, a member of the Ger man military commission which went to Greece In 1913, who made the trip in the submarine. VILLA DEFEATS V.h PASO, Tex., Jan. 1li.- Foreign refugees arriving here curly today from Chihuahua City brought the news of n battle fought yesterday be tween Ratevo and Santa Ysnbcl, southwest of the cnpilul.

Rudolph set up a circular announcing certain alluring propositions the firm had to offer. There was no news paper in Slrnsburg. No sooner had the circular been distributed than the stimulus to busi ness was felt. The next month a second was distributed, then a third and fourth. In spite of the prediction of tho boys! father that they would "bust" because they were spending too much money for advertising, they showed a gain the first year, and the busi ness has shown a gain every year since, except one. Advertising thus has become a regular part of tho Garver Uros. half-nilllion-ilolla'r-a-year business institu tion. Of the big annual appropria tion for advertising, a huge sum goes to newspapers. Pago advertisements bring results, G, Alfred says. And every paper within 16 miles and some ns far nwny as 20 and 25 miles nro cm ployed. Newspaper ads attract to the store scores of customers even from Canton, 25 miles away. People living at a distance, drive to the store in rigs and autos to take advan tage of bargains advertised. Ninety per cent of the volume of trade comes from, outside of Strasburg. Garver calls his advertising cam paigns the process of fertilization. "I advertise," he says, "for the same reason tho farmer uses phos phates and lime, The fertilized sec tions yield greater returns. What tho farmer calls the process of culti vation of his crops, I call the giving of service. LONDON, Jan. 10 A semi-official reply has been Issued in liorlin III regard to the Ilrltlsh authoritative view, mado public here on Saturday, regarding the latest German and Austrian notes. This reply, as quoted In an Amsterdam dispatch to Keu ter's says that the chargeu niado In England regarding German responsi bility for starting the war are not new, but are repetitions of state ments long ago contradicted. The reply then proceeds to ask a series of questions in respect to the diplo matic action of the powers prior to the outbreak of the war. It calls at-1 tention to the concentration camps of South Africa, the debates in the Kus- j slan duma on the subject of the treat- i ment of foreign nationalities In Itus- slu and Mohammedans in the Cau- casus, the entente attitude toward j Greece and the treatment of German ; prisoners of war In Russia.

Women, though unnffected by the civil service law, have volunteered in droves and the bureau has even had to exert a check on the youthful pop ulation, so largo have been the num ber wanting to leave school in order to work in some way for the father land. Only n small percentage of volunteers has been accepted so far, but the aggregate is large enough lo release several . thousand soldiers weekly who have been engaged in in terior garrison duty, bridge watching service and on posts. According to Dr. Sorge, the opposi tion which the wnr bureau nnticipated at the start from various sources, such as labor unions, has failed to materialize.
