Pink Salmon
The Pink Salmon is the smallest
nd must rru1 er us f the species. In
olor, it is bluish above, silvery be
ow, with many round black spots
rn the upper part and a few large
oiack spots on the tail. The average
wr'ghf is four pounds, and its life

tt. at abundance of the Pinks bring

savor, fine texture and pale color.
Chum or Kota
The Chum or Kf ta is silvery on the
sides sometimes sprinkled with small
black specks and faint traces of grid
k'e bars. As the spawning season
advances, the bars become more dis
“ net and a reddish color appears on
the sides.
The average wc;ght of the Chum
Salmon is nine pounds, and its life
period three, four or five years. This
s the cheapest of all salmon. This
3 due primarily o its lack of red
'otor and because it is sometimes low
ui oil. The red color is more pleas
ng to some people and has become
associated with salmon.
Dr. Henry W. Wiley, who was
ch.ef of 'he U. Si Bureau of Chemis
trv for 30 years, says: “The light
nested varieties of salmon are Just
as palatable and nutritious as the
mere highly colored species, V't
pc ipie should be informed more defi
nitely about them; for many, when
they open a car. and find the meat is
nrv red, thir.k it is some other kind
meat, or is inferior."
SLEEPIEST TOWN SLEEPS ON
AS BANDITS MAKE WHOOPPEE
ALLIANCE, Neb.—The “sleepiest”
town in Gus Malberg’s seif-related
career as a crook, was Crookstown,
Neb.
Malherg s' d he and fellow burg
lars, unabl. to open a heavy Crooks
town safe in its naguiar place, rolled
it out the door, let it coast down
the sidewalk for three city blocks,
and one of them rode on top yelling
“whoopee,” he »asd.
At the bottom of the hill, the safe
smashed into railroad tracks and
rolled over. The burglars then took
it apart.
“We didn’t wake anybody up," Mal
herg told the judge. “Not even a
dog • barked.”
