Pe are clamm sideline. His main concern is dig- ging shells from which buttons are made. a _. The largest single shipment to date this year from Dixon was three carloads, some 150 tons of shells which were due from the bed of the river within a radius of half a mile They went to a firm at LaCrosse. Wis. . The buyer paid $70 a t which is the highest price yet receiv- ed by the diggers, and the three cars represented $10,000 worth of shells Shells $80.00 a Ton Many other clammers have been holding their shells for higher prices Since this shipment was made shells have gone to $80 a ton. Along the shores and many of its tributary rivers may be~found num erous clammers’ outfits which vary somewhat in design although al serve the same purpose . A typica outfit consists of a flat bottomed 1 on either side of which is a rod six teen feet long. Suspended from thi: are chains with four-prong hooks on each ch in all 600 hooks. One bar at a time is lowered ané dragged along the river bed, thus catching the partly open clam shell Muddy water affords the best results as the clams there open their shells tor feeding and can be the morc easily caught. me Laws for Clams Spring and early summer are’ the best seasons for the work, as_ the spring freshets disturb the water making it muddy. Later in the sea- son as the water becomes cool the clams bury themselves in the mud. The industry is protected by the game and fish law, the season open ing legally June second, and clos- ing December first. Clams breed in August and are very profile.

In the opinion. of the: committee “an appointive judiciary, with a pre- liminary endorsement of candidates , by the Bar is the ideal manner to ‘secure a uniformly efficient beitch.” The report: also emphasizes the need. for thorough cooperation ‘of members of the’judiciary and the bar, |" for the purpose of maintaining high | professional standards in legal prac- tice. Questionaires seeking suggestions as to how this cooperation might be accomplished best have been sent out to approximately 1,500 members of the ‘judiciary throughout the United; States; during the past year, accord- ing to the report, awhich has been made; public by the local committee in_ charge of the arrangements. In reply, it’states, recommendation has been made that the bar in the various localitie@ be incorporated, with the Canon of Ethics as a part of their constitution.

The new era upon which the, Salvatjonists aro eritering involves not ‘only’ a‘! com- plete redisposition of personnel, but ‘so a redistricting of the entire countity for the army’s administra- tive purposes.

She continues as com- manding officer of all the> army’s forces in the United, States: and Ha- waii, but with enlarged authority del- egated to her in recognition of her successful direction of the wartime \ efforts of the organization both at } home and abroad. For administrative purposes the country has heen divided into three territories, an Eastern, Central and Western, with headquarters respec- tively in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. Colonel William Peart, who has long been. chief secretary in the United States, ‘will leave New York with a promotion to ‘commis- sioner and assume charge of the Army’s work in the Central. terri- | tory.
