Rats Are Ivory Experts.

The ivory dealer pointed to half
dozen rats gnawing among the yellow
heaps of tusks and ivory fragments in
the garrett
'"They are quite tame, you see," he
said. why shouldn't they be SO? The
fact is, they are on my payroll. They
work for me- Their wages are pound
of cheese and a loaf of bread week.
Ivory dealers like rats, for rats are
ivory's best judges, sand without their
help we should often want higher
price for a bad tusk than for a fine
one
He took fragment of ivory from
the floor and pointed to certain small
burrows in it's surface.
1.-THE rats did that he said. "Those
burrows are proof of the ivory's ex-
cellence. Rats gnaw the ivory that
contains animal glue, or gelatin,
substance of which they are fond. And
this substance it, is that makes ivory
excellent, yet mere man can't tell
whether tusk contains it OR not. The
rats can tell. ~ - - --A' -

BIG WOLF HUNT
IN TERRITORY

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA, October
(Special) Preparations are near
ing completion for the great wolf
hunt to be held early this month
in the neighhorhood of Tulsa, l. T.
The affair is being arranged by Bob"
Galbraith, the Indian Territory oil
king, and the participants will in
clude the sportsmen from all over
Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Arkan-
sas, Missouri, Texas and other states.
The scene of the great chase will be
the wild and almost impenetrable re
gion between Red Fork and Lost
City, Astounding in steep hills, deep
crevices, subterranean passages and
rocky caverns, where wolves and
all kinds of wild game abound in
great number. The only big, black
timber wolves left in the new state
have their lairs in this vicinity and
prey upon the chickens, pigs and
other small domestic animals on the
surrounding farms

WORK THAT COUNTS

All Georgia is admiring the spirit
manifested by the little city of Way
cross in its efforts TO keep the plants
Of the South Atlantic Car and Manu-
featuring Company there. A few
days ago the plant was visited by a
fire and other cities Immediately be-
gan pulling for the removal OF the
plant.
But the citizens Of Waycross al
most instantaneously got in the game
and showed by their deeds how badly
they wanted the establishment 10 stay.
At a mass meeting nearly $4,000 was
raised and the city is to issue al
most as much in bonds. One strik-
ing feature was the contributions OF
labor by those who did not feel able
to contribute cash.
Its such energetic work as this
which wins. In no other possible way
could the appreciation of the presence
of the big mandatory be manifest
ed. Resolutions and promises Of a
cordial reception-which was the ne
thod emylode by some other cities
do not weigh in the balances with
the inducements offered by the gritty
town Of Waycross. If such spirit
does not win it will be reversal of
all natural laws OF growth. Il looks
like Waycross has nailed down the
car works so that the applications OF
other cities. unless backed by bonuses
much larger than competing cities
could well offer. will be unanimous
Is rejected by the directors of the
company.
Other towns can learn a valuable
lesson from the pluck Of one South
Georgia town OF 10000 The Way
cross way is the winning kind.

HOPE FOR REDUCED
PRICES FOR FOOD.
Meat, Eggs and Chickens
Weakening.

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct 31-(SpeciaD
Chicago housewives face the prom
Use Of better prices for their dinner
tables, following the cut of ten per
cent. in the price of meat as announce
ed by the Omaha packing firms.
With the lowing of the price of that
staple, other prices are expected to
follow, and inquiry among the COM
mission men Of the city shows that
decline has resulted in several
articles.
This decline is eaten up, however,
in the advance of -four and other sta1
pies, and the hope for the housewives
lies in the stringent condition in the
money market which may compel the
unloading of immense holdings of
butter, eggs and meats.
Beef shows a general decline of
one-half cent, while pork has advanc-
ed two cents a pound. Pork chops
and sausages are included in the adj

Coincident with the drop in the
prices of beef there also has been a
| drop in the price of chickens and a
! drop of two cents in the price of but
| ter. Eggs, however, are higher than
last year and the tendency is to still
higher prices.
The grocer, wholesale and retail,
meets all inquiries with the announce
ment that everything is going up
Flour has advanced $3.50 a barrel
within six weeks, that commodity re-
failing at $3.50 a barrel. Sugar has
not fiuctuated and stands today at
about " cents, the same mark it
registered one month ago.
The future of eggs and butter de-
pends upon the money market. There
are millions of eggs in cold storage
for better price, but if the strin-
gency of money continues those who
are holding them may be forced tc
unload, which would result in a col
lapse in prices. The same condition
is true of butter and chickens, and il
