HERE'S A CHANGE TO BE A REAL ROBINSON CRUSOE ON
 A GENUINE DESERT ISLAND
Uncle Sam Will Lease Several islands Fol Blue Fox Breeding Purposes s--Oppor-
 tunity For Tired Business Men

Washington, Aug. 28.-Who wants to be 9 Robinson Crusoe. live on an island in Behring Sea, and makeHa fortune raising Blue Foxes? The governm ent stands ready to lease you an island for $200 a year, and to provide you with foxes to start the business. But you have got to be a, stic1kler and not expect to get. rich for a number of years despite the fact that choice Blue Fox belts have sold, in London town for $131 each, and if the grand danes of the world continue to wear furs why there is no telling about the pos abilities of the fox industry. The sealed bids for the leases of the is- lands will be received by William c. Redieid, Secretary of the Departm ent of Commerce, on October 31, 1913 Any one desiring to get away from the noise of the folks upstairs or any wife who wants her husband to stay home nights can get information about these islands and the fox industry by writing to H. M. Smith, Commissioner Of Fisheries.
 The Department wants those vVIlo have heard the very optimistic state ments regarding handsome. profits to be derived from fur farming to take them into consideration That is, the department does not want people to believe that the business is an easy one. While the secretary has author ity to lease only twelve islands, there are other unoccupied, islands in Alaska available for fur farming, which can be obtained under the general land laws

The Secretary of Commerce will un- lands fox herds a limited number of blue foxes for breeding stock.
 On some islands the foxes find sufff- meat has been provided for them. Any morning, before breakfast when the Iarder for the future material of a la dy's coat is rather low just take a row boat and go out and kill a, whale The food lays right at your door.
 Special inducements are offered to bachelors for although two caretakere are recommended for some of the is- lands there are some where it is thought. that one man will be plenty 70 look after the baby foxes
 Among the reasons that some folks have failed in the fox raising business are the following: Imperfect knowl- edge of the business; lack of expert ence; ignorance of elementary princi- pies of animal breeding, and other ha,b- it's of foxes But it is believed that much money can be made with good management and sufficient capital to begin with
 If you are not partial to blue foxes there are silver, black and cross foxes all of which are regarded as color va rietiess of the red fox, and which com mand high prices at the present time But the government can only furnish blue ones, as it has specialized in that , color
 The leases of these islands will TUT for five years, and no person other than American citizens can apply.

 It looks like paint and pretends to be paint, but isn't worth painting. It costs a painters day y's-work to put-on a gallon of paint, good or bad; and a. painters day's-work is ss or $4-
 Add that to the price of a gallon That is the cost. of a gallon. Devoe is $5 or s6 a gallon; and trash a half dollar less
 But Devoe is all paint and more too: you add oil to it; a. gallon is or 6 quarts of perfect paint for the painters fpot.Ss But trash is three quarters tvvo-thids or half paint; you pay a haIf-do1lar less for nobody knowS-wflat-it-iS.
 10 gallons Devoe is enough for the average job; it takes 15 to 20 gallons of trash And the wear same way. Unfortunately, they look alike when first put-on.

 There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tor lures of an aching back, the annoy ance of urinary disorders, the pains and dangers of kidneys ills, will fail to heed the word of a resident of this locality who has found re- lief. The following is convincing proof.
 Mrs. II. J. White, ll6 N. Third St., FL Smith, Ark, says: An ac- cident was the cause of kidney complaint in my case My back was badly injured and for weeks the aches and pains were almost un- bearable. The secretions from my kidneys became disordered, and though l was treated by a good physician, I was relieved only for the time being. A more severe at tack of the trouble appeared about two years later, and at that time doctoring did not help me. l fin ally used Doan'S Kidney Pills and three boxes cured me.
