Dear Sir: In regard to playing the odd

can play you is as follows: We will play
in Augusta. Nov. 10. provided you give us;
one hundred dollars, TO be paid the day
before the game. At such game with
good advertising you can clear easily $50

this the easiest way out of the difficulty.
We also require good officials. This is
the only chance of a game.

Democratic victory at the election in
Indiana will mean that there will be
many good jobs to parcel out to the
Democrats. 1t will be the first time in
a good many years that the Democrats
have been able to get their noses in
the trough or to sit~at the pie counter.
They have been out of jobs for so many
years that 1t will seem mighty good to
them to get their hands into the state
treasury once again.
The salary list of the various state
offices is large. The salaries paid are
fairly good-good enough, in fact, to
be attractive to those politicians that
feel that they are entitled to recogni-
tion for what they have done for their
party at the election
The governors office is already filled
by a Democrat, so that no change will
be made there in the personnel of the
appointees. No additional Democrats
can be provided for there. The super
intendent OF public instruction also is
a democrat and his office is filed with
Democratic deputies and assistants,
thus adding nothing to the number of
available jobs for Democrats since the
recent election.
But there are number of other state
Offices in which the places will be open,
and from now on 1t is fair to ASSUME
that the lucky Democrats who were

pointed a republican, Chas. Wheeler of
Noblesville.
When the newly-elected democrats
take office the board will be democrat
ic, and it can then appoint a demo-
crat superintendent of public
grounds and buildings. The salary of
that position is $4,000, and he has the
appointment of the following assist
ants in the office:
Assistant superintendent, $1,000;
foreman of janitors, 5000; policemen,
three, each 5000; carpenter. $40; roof
man, $40; janitors, Is. each 1920.
The chief engineer of the state house
is appointed the same way. He gets

take their offices it will be the first

state house has been completely filled
with democrats.

THE VALUE OF THE MUsKRATS
Agricultural Department Finds
Troublesome Animal is Valu.
able for Fur.

Washington, May THE depart
ment of agriculture does not con-
fine itself strictly to agricultural
affairs, as will be noted by the num-
ber of bulletins that have been is
sued on subjects which do not per-
tain in the least to agriculture. All
of these bulletins are labeled Farm
ers Bulletin" and most of them
pertain to problems of the farm.
One of the latest of these deals with
the muskrat. One scarcely would
expect that the muskrat filled an
important place in farm life, but the
agricultural department has discov-
cred that it is very useful because
of the demand for fur, and the
muskrat is a great fur producer.
The new bulletin regarding the
muskrat treats of its value as a fur
bearing animal. Occasionally some
humorist writes a story to show that
the muskrat figures prominently as
a part of the celebrated Maryland
terrapin, but the writer of the pres
ent bulletin says that the ancient
owners of America, now our civiliZ-
ed Indians, highly esteemed the
muskrat as an article of food. OF
course the Indian taste is not to be
taken as guarantee, but there is
no reason why the muskrat should
not be as good eating as the rabbit
or the squirrel.
Another feature of the muskrat
dwelt upon in this new bulletin is
it's destructiveness of gardens and
crops. He is a particular enemy to
the rice planter, and the gulf coast
residents have to fight him all the
time. The rats are very destruc-
tive to the water lilies that are
grown in private grounds and in
public parks, and along the Allan
tic coast the tidal meadows often
are injured by them. The bulletin
mentions the damage that the musk
rat does to mill dams and to canals,
| irrigation bitches, ice ponds and
| leVees. AT the same time, the musk
rat is becoming SO valuable as
fur-bearing animal that 1t makes up,
in some measure, for its destructive
| qualities. The new bulletin on the
muskrat gives a great deal of infor-
nation as to trapping and as to
marketing the fur. No doubt per-
sons who want to destroy the rat on
account of the damage it does. as
well as those who want to secure
him for the money value of his fur,
will be interested in Farmers Bull

HIS "HARD LUCK" STORY.

II know" said the seedy individ-
ual who sat in the corner of the
smoking car, that you who have
never had serious setback take
mighty little stock in hard-luck stor-
les. There's no reason why you
should believe all the tales you hear,
but in my case it's different, for l
can prove all l say. Yes, lost ali
my money in ostrich farming. l was
pretty we'll fixed when l started in,
and went at it on a big scale. For
the first year or two l got along
pretty well, / diversified some,
raising enough grain and fodder for
the birds and my other stock, and
some to sell. But the market was
about fifty miles distant and l began
to worry over how / was to do the
hauling. That didn't worry me
long, however, for the birds began
to multiply pretty fast and soon
discovered / wasn't raising enough
for them to eat. | began to skimp
the mules to feed the birds, and in
this way weakened my farm force
and consequently decreased my crop.
Well, sir, things went on until those
birds ate up the harnesses, the hoes
and rakes and all the other farming
tools, and l didn't know what on
earth to do. l was about worried
to death, and went to bed one night
not knowing what the end would be.
When l got up the next morning I
found the birds had eaten up the wire
fence around the farm and escaped.
| never saw them again. That s
why I'm broke, and why 1 am on
my way back home"
