In California the people have gone
as mad as a March hare over the
enterprise of raising Belgian hares fol
market. One pair of breeding stock
will produce 800 hares fit for food
within year and still live to start the
New Year. There is great danger,
however, of their becoming SC
numerous as to be pest. In Australia
few English hares were imported
and in few years, millions of wild
hares overran the country. A bounty
was offered for their determination
and wire fences many miles in length
were built as traps and hundreds OF
men organized bands of extremina.

The National Association of Demo-

marching clubs and recommends it's
use in all parades and demonstrations
during the campaign.
The uniform is approximately that
of the Minute Men, of the American
Revolution. The colors are blue,
white and red, and the costume con-
sists of three cornered hat, coat
cross-belt and white leggins. The
uniforms are made in three qualities.
Presidents of Democratic clubs are
requested to assemble their members
and send in their complete orders at
once. The only measurements re-
quired are the bust measure over the
clothes ordinarily worn, and the size
of the hat.
Clubs should get their orders in as
soon as possible, as it will require a
few days to get the uniforms ready.
