Mannfeld, division superintendent, said today, announcing that every effort is to be brought into play to augment production of fry and fingerlings this season. Records in the conservation office show that the division propagated and filled applications to the number of 259 in 1918; 274 in 1919; 329 in 1920; 399 in 1921, and 720 in 1922. Applications for 1923 now on file exceed those of last year, and the order books closed April 1, Mr. Mannfeld says, in asking people of the state who wish stock fish from the four state hatcheries to place their order before that date. Requests are filled in the order in which applications are filed, he says. This year an attempt will be made to propagate for the first time channel cat, owing to the many requests for this specie. The experiment will be tried at the Riverside Park hatchery. Other species to be propagated at this and the other three state hatcheries are the two species of black bass (large and smallmouth), blue gills, crappie, rock bass, yellow perch and pike perch, the.latter commonly called wall-eyed pike or Jack salmon. All will be propagated by what is known as pond culture. According to Mr. Mannfeld the pike perch will be propagated by artificial means from eggs which the department will purchase in the state of Michigan, having been assured that it is possible; for Indiana to procure 150 quarts of eggs early in April. These will be brought from Bay City, Michigan, by the superintendent of the Wawasee hatchery, an expert in handling them to Indiana. A few will go to the Riverside hatchery with the bulk to the Tri Lakes hatchery in Whitley county. Conservation officials point with pride to the record of the division last year in producing 1,216,602 yellow perch and 1,126,619 black bass, an increase of 500,000 for each species over any previous year. “The public has little knowledge of the tremendous work attendant to this production," Mr. Mannfeld says, "especially black bass, and may better conceive it when it is known that production in the combined federal hatcheries seldom exceed this number of bass in a single year." o TINPLATE AN OLD INDUSTRY The art of tinning iron appears to have originated in the Sixteenth century; tinplate was first manufactured in Great Britain in 1670.

THAT FIRST DOLLAR SAVED •mall Amount, of Course, but It Has a Value Far Beyond Its Intrinsic Worth. It Is a very common thing to hear a clever, capable man or woman accused of not knowing “the value of a dollar," or of not being able to “save a dollar." Before you can make money you must first have a true appreciation of the' value of SI; not the value of SI,OOO or SIOO,OOO, but the true value of sl, says a writer In Thrift. You have often heard the expression : ■ “To him a dollar looks as large as a house.” While this expression is usually applied to a person who Is miserly. It would, nevertheless, be an excellent thing If every thriftless person would place a higher appreciation upon sl. The average person dees not throw his earnings away in large sums. He wastes $1 here and $1 there In an unthinking manner. When you enter the office of a successful business man and find the first dollar he made in his business hanging upon the wall in a frame you can. almost invariably, look around and see a great, prosperous establishment. Whatever has been accomplished by that man is largely due to the value he placed upon the first dollar he made. Every lurge fortune or prosperous business establishment has for its corner stone sl. When you save $1 and put It to work for yon in a savings bank you have laid the foundation of your fortune and placed your first dollar saved where It is available for production. LITTLE AFFECTED BY FILTH Modern Race of Arabs Are Seemingly Immune From Generally Fatal Zymotic Diseases. Northern Ambia Is a land virtually destitute of lakes and streams, and during the dry season even the infrequent wells cannot be depended upon; so that the provision of a sufficient water is a primary consideration. The Arabs carry their own drinking supply In large goatskins, two of which are usually slung under the belly of each camel, but the water in these, usually of doubtful origin, quickly acquires a taste which makes It almost undrinkable for Europeans. When the supply in the goatskins runs low, It Is /•plenished at the desert wells with wsyer so inconceivably foul that no one 1/it an Arab could drink it and live to tell about It. I Imagine, however, that every Arab susceptible to symotlc diseases died thousands of years ago, and that by the law of the survival of the fittest, all Arabs born now are immune from filth diseases. This is the only explanation of why they can drink sewage water with Impunity. go for months at a time without bathing, wear garments which are caked with dirt and crawl with vermin, and thrive undqr conditions which’ would kill a white man in a week.—E. Alexander Powell in the Century Magazine. Easy Way to Make Friends. A Long Island commuter who found it somewhat difficult to make acquaintances when he first moved to his town and who has known of others In a similar plight, says he has solved the trouble. •Take it from me.” he remarked. “It la the simplest thing in the world, and ' the coat is not burdensome. Get a nest of light and easily-handled ladders and a good, substantial collapsible stepladder. and that’s all there is to It. "At the season when everybody Is putting on storm windows, the fellow who has easily handled ladders of various lengths and Is willing to lend them la bound to be the most popular chap in the neighborhood. “The borrowing and lending breaks the ice, and the rest develops in natural course. The fellow with the ladders will be ‘lt’ until spring and then he will share the distinction with the neighbor who la the fortunate possessor of a lawn roller." —New York Sun. Average Would Be Maintained. Bret Harte was once lecturing at Harrisburg, in Virginia, and on the morning of hia arrival had such a terrible headache that he said he would cheerfully have died there and then. He went for a walk, accompanied by the person who was to take the chair at hia lecture. The latter told him that Harrisburg was a very healthy place, the death rate averaging only one per diem. “Good heavens!" said Harte, who had been telling his companion how he felt, “has today's man died yet*’ The other, never suspecting It was a Joke, said he would try and find out Next morning he came to Harte and said: *T ’ couldn’t find out exactly about that man yesterday—the coroner said he couldn't say precisely who he was, but whoever it was, he would average all right" Discoverer of Riches Got Little. It Is a curious example of the irony of fate that in the history of spectacular gold discoveries the one to discover the treasure trove has seldom been enriched ’or maintained permanent wealth. A striking illustration Is found in the life history of Robert M. Womack, the cattleman who discovered the famous Cripple Creek region. -Bob" Womack died penniless on August 11, 1900. aged sixty-six years, after a lingering illness in a sanltar lum where for years he had been supported by relatives. Yet something like $250,000,000 was the value of the output from the Cripple Creek mines. o — DAD IS BETTER MARKET Many a boy'/makes his way through colleger by writing fiction. but he always sends it to his father instead of a publisher. . . o The Journal 52 times a year for $2. . . <

GOLD LURED MANY TO DEATH Path to California In the -Days of ’49” Literally Strown With Bones of Unfortunate*. “The days of oil, the days of gold, the days of ’4o,’’ marked the most picturesque gold rush in history. On the heels of Marshall’s discovery, following Sutter's lead, excitement became intense and gold in California was the ruling topic everywhere. By January, 1849. 90 vessels carrying 8,000 passengers sailed from various ports for Snn Francisco and 70. more w*ere ready. During the year 549 vessels entered port carrying 35,000 passengers and 42,000 immigrants arrived overland. In a months the population of San Frjjdelsco climbed from 2.000 tp_ 14,000 and that year the first Pacific mall steamer passed through the Golden gate. Four hundred sailing vessels were abandoned in the harbor while their owners and crews joined In the mad rush to the gold fields. Labor jumped to $lO a day and was scarce at that figure. Between the spying of that year and the autumn of 1850, it Is estimated that about a million people—men, women and children—left the Eastern states bound for the new Eldorado. ( But of this vast army thousands died of hunger and thirst amid the burning alkali deserts of New Mexico and Arizona; thousands more tost their way and perished miserablyjtn the gloomy canyons and indicate fastnesses of the Rocky mountains, multitudes fell victims to the tomahawk and scalping knife of. the Apaches, the raids of the Sioux and the opposition of the Mormon elders, who, resenting the intrusion of the gold seekers, sought to stem the tide by force. REALLY WAS PIRATE CHANTY “Fifteen Men On the Dead Man's Cheat" Did Not Come From the Fertile Brain of Stevenson. It will be news to most persons that part at least of the sea-song in ‘Treasure Island" is authentic, and certainly was sung by the pirates and buccaneers in the Caribbean In the late Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries. Dead Man's Chest is an island in the Virgins which has now lost its identity in the new name “Dead Chest Island.” Here the pirates were in the habit of repairing to careen their ships and stretch their legs, and naturally It was an ideal occasion for songs which would have strong piratical and local flavor. Curiously enough, there is a little church on the Chilian coast which is obviously built of ship timbers, and recently an enthusiast waiting for a coasting steamer bethought him that if lhe building came from a ship the bell probably did as well. A climb among the rafters did not reveal the name of the ship, as he hoped, but, sure enough, round the edge of the bell were the words, “Fifteen men on the dead man's chest.” All that the priest could tell him was that the church bell came from a ship that was wrecked in 1722, which was just the time that the West Indies were getting rather hot for the pirates, and many were being driven Into the Pacific. It is an Interesting sidelight on the strange nooks and corners from which Stevenson (“R. L. S") collected the material for bls books. MUCH GOOD SENSE IN THIS The consciousness of clean linen is, in and of itself, a source of moral strength, second only to that of a clean conscience. A well-ironed collar or a fresh glove has carried many a man through an emergency in which a wrinkle or a rip would have defeated him.

ANNUAL SPRING CLEAN-UP Indianapolis, March 30. —The time is here for the annual spring clean-up on Indiana farms and unless care is exercised it means that much valuable timber will be sacrificed through carelessness, in the opinion of Charles C. Deam, state forester under the conservation department. Mr. Deam says that in the past hunters have been blamed- for most of the forest fires. He exonerates them and places the blame on landowners and tenants who, in cleaning up the premises, grow careless and permit fires to spread. In order that our rapidly disappearing timber stocks be carefully guarded, Mr. Deam suggests the following precautions concerning fires on the farm. Don’t start a fire on a windy day. Don’t start a fire in field or woods if there is danger of )it escaping to adjoining woods or field. If fire must in such a place, stand sniard over it. It is excellent policy to plow a around the field or/in the woods, thus establishing a fire line and making it easy --to keep the flames within a desired fire zone. Don’t leave a fire at night without first raking all combustible materialfar away. It is best not to leave a fire at night if it is possible to extinguish it The state law provides a penalty for anyone setting fire to a woods or who permits fire to escape from his land to that of another. The fine in such case, upon conviction, is not less than $5 and not more than SSO. Furthermore the guilty one shall be liable for full damage sustained therefrom. Mr. Deam suggests, in view of the serious lack of timber in our commonwealth, that Indiana’s slogan be “plant more trees and do not burn what we possess.”

So they deliberately leave the water, using their side fins which have sharp spines, like feet; and crawl around the falls, entering the water on the other side.

One of the natural wonders of New Mexico is the Alamogordo, or Tularosa, desert. It is a plain, measuring from 100 to 125 miles from north to south and from 35 to 50 miles from east to west, and it represents. In the opinion of many authorities, the upper surface of a gigantic block of the earth’s crust that sank after the deposition of the cretaceous strata. It is surrounded by an elevated border, and on the east especially, the cliffs rise sheer to a height of 1,000 feet. The curious Organ mountains are on Its southern bonier. Within the plain, where floods o' lava once swelled up, are vast deposits of gypsum, which forms as white as snow, which the wind drives into vast drifts. The vegetation is peculiar and highly interesting to botanists. 9 Neglected Resources. Hindu sages held that no one using his child's resources need be bereft of happiness. Poet Moody said that “the adventures of the mind are beyond all compare more enthralling .than the adventures of the senses.’’ Conrad Marlow was “always chasing some potion or other round and round ills head just for the fun of the thing." —Boston Transcript O Why envy the man who lives in clover?

ANOTHER SYRACUSE CASE ft Proves That There’s a Way Out For Many Suffering Syracuse Folks. Just another report of a case in Syracuse. Another typical case. Kidney ailments relieved in Syracuse with Doan’s Kidney Pills. Ernest Richhart, Boston St., says: “I worked outside in the dampness. I caught cold and it settled on my kidpeys. I had all kinds of trouble with my back. My kidneys were sore and there was such a pain in my back I could hardly go. The throbbing pain took my strength and I vras in pretty bad shape for a few days. My muscles felt heavy and I felt sore all over. I kniew something was wrong with iny kidneys for they were so sluggish that the secretions were scanty in passage. I was worse off after inflammation of the bladder set in. • I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they made me feel one hundred percent better. My back ceased to ache; the inflammation left bladder and my kidneys acted right. My cure has lasted several years.” 60c, at all dealers. FosterMilbum Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. —(Advertisement.
