Skunk fur has had great vogue for

fur Is used most in Paris. where the
women like it very much. Its use in
this country is caused not only by the
demand in Paris but because ii is a fine
fur. Neck furs show a leaning toward
wide scarf and stole lines. The. price of
furs has almost doubled within the past
five years, and this one fact makes the
skunk more desired. Furs that are ship
ped into this country from the North
bring big prices, and the demand for
them is great this winter. In Paris the
fur fad has taken a great grip among
women and this probably causes the in
crease in the prices of all varieties and
kinds of pelts. In the purchase of furs
especial care should be taken by the
buyer, who should make close examina-
ton of the articles before they are
bought In this way defects can often
be located before the purchase is made.

buttons will play an important part in

gowns will have row after row of the

there has not been such demand for
furs of all kinds and descriptions as this
season. Women in Paris have carried
their passion for fur to the extreme of

lingerie frocks. and during the summer
they introduced fur bands on hats and
scarfs. This winter bands of fur will be
used on frocks and coats. combined with
fur collars and cuffs on the coats.
Milliners have planned lavish use of fur

Atlanta, Ga, and Columbia, Tenn. At
the latter place on the first Monday of
January there were more than 1000
mules handled and the entire sales for
the month were many hundreds more,
and this market is considered the small
est as to numbers of the four places

Republican State Convention Called.

At conference of leading state re-
publicans held in Milwaukee Friday it
was decided to call state convention
to be held in that city June 9Th. The
call formulated is as follows:
Representative government of par
ties is as necessary in a republic as
representative government in states
and nation. Where members of parties
are given no opportunity to assemble
and confer for ascertaining the will of
majority of the party there is no way
in which that majority can make its
will known.
''TheSe statements of fact are funda-
mental and it does not require argu-
ment to carry conviction of their truth
to the mind of the thoughtful citizen.
If anything were needed to prove their
soundness the experience of the repub-
ican party in Wisconsin during the last
six years would furnish the required
evidence. The republican voters in this
state today are without voice in chOos-
ing their leaders or formulating their
party principles. The result is party
disorganization, a multiplicity of hostile
factions, widespread dissatisfaction and
bitter personal cOntroversaries.
THE remedy for this unfortunate
condition of affairs is plain and unmis-
taxable. The party members should
exercise their constitutional right of
assembly and meet in convention, a
right that was fully recognized by our
Supreme court in its recent decision con-
STRUNG the primary law.
eve believe that the republicans of
this state indorse President Taft and
his administration, and are in complete
sympathy with him in his efforts to
carry out the policies of government
advocated by his predecessor, Theodore
Roosevelt, and promised in the republi-
can platform which was adopted by the
republican convention which nominated
Mr.. Taft. We believe, further, that
the time has come when the repubii-
cans of this state should choose repre-
Sentatives who are not office seekers OF
office holders to meet and agree upor
the principles for which the republican
party of this state stands, and select
such men for public office as can be re-
lied upon to adhere to those principles
and who will support the republican
party in the state of Wisconsin and IL
our national congress. We can con
ceive of no greater violation of the con
fidence of the people than we see dis
played by those members in our ma
tional congress who have been republi
cans for office and are democrats il
office.
Therefore, We, the undersigned re
publicans, hereby unite in calling tn,
convention of republican voters for tn,
purpose of ascerGaining the genera
party sentiment toward the present ma
tional administration by the adoption
of party platform and to consider tn,
advisability of recommending or indors
ing candidates for state Offices to bs

AMERICAN agriculture shows strange

AMERICAN agriculture shows strange
contrast. With the price of farm pro-

number of abandoned farms steadily in

shown that there are $1,000 square

New England, New York, the south
east and the middle central states.
That is, there are in the United States
at present 100000 acres of abandon
ed farm landau area as large as the

Hughs, had taken his mothers
500 horse, cost Edwin Westlin a
little OF the cold cash for court
fees and costs. Westlin missed

Hughs had taken 1t, whereupon
he came to Tacoma and swore out

him with horse stealing.
When both came to Tacoma for

have wandered from Milton and
was in the city pound. Westlin
made apologies, both verbally and
