NETTING OF FISH Correspondent Takes Exception to Action of Board of Trade. Gananoque, April 23.--7T. J. Dar- ling, writes to the Reportegi A peti- tion of about 300 ratepayers of Rock- port, Ivy Lea and Lansdowne was presented to the Department of Fish- eries, Toronto, in 1917, asking that the licensing of netting in the Thou- sand Islands region be discontinued. The Department promised to investi- gate the matter in the summer of 1917, but they failed to make the in- vestigation as promised. The Board lot Trade at Gananoque took the mat- ter up for the licensed fishermen and, advised the Department at Toronto to continue the licensing of netting in the Thousand Islands region as a war measure, to increase the food product in Canada. How they expect to increase the food product in Can- add by raking the river clean of fish and shipping them to the' United States, I cannot understand. Sleigh loads have been going to the United States during the winter and no fish are being offered to the consumer in | this district. It looks to your corres pondent to be about as good a war | measure as the consumption of about 1900 tons of coal in the Licut.-Gover- nor's House, Toronto, "and the poor and other residents of the town of Gananoque and other bordering vil- !ixgos paying $12.60 per ton to keep WRI. ow 'would the Board of Trade like to have suinmer residents of the Thousand Idlands region and business? a. ar 'Belleville, April 23.

ONE HUNDRED WOMEN AT PRAYER SERVICE A Unique Gathering of Protest ants and Catholics in City Council Chamber. There was a most unique gather- ing in the City Council Chamber on Monday afternoon, at 4.45 o'clock, { when women representing every re- ligious denomination, both Roman Catholic and Protestant, gathered at a special prayer service, Over one hundred ladies were present, and it was a most impressive gathering. The call for prayer and interces- sion was sent out for the critical days of the war, and the meeting was held at the request of the National Coun- cil of Women, and arranged for by thé local council: Jt so happened that the National Council of the Young Women's Christian Associa- tion algo decided on the same day for the holding of a special service for prayer, and so the forces united. Mrs. John Macgillivray, president of the Local Council of Women, pre- sided, and after @ few introductory remarks, regarding the calling of the meeting, gave the beautiful prayer used by the Daughters of the Empire. Following this, Mrs. Macgillivray called upon each of the representa- tives for a prayer, and every repre- sentative responded. The meeting was a splendid one, and at the same time a notable one.

Mrs. Hayderman of Deseronto, who was severely injured when a bullet from a revolver held by her young son accidentally entered her left whonl- der, was reported to be improving in the General Mospital on 'Tuesday.
