Big Money in Trapping fur.Bearers

A. B. Shuhert Inc Chicago
the largest house in the world
dealing exclusively in American
raw furs, in letter to the editor
says in part as follows:
s'The money picked up by the
wise farmer boy during the fur
season, to say nothino Of the pro-
fessional trapper revenue, is some
thing that would make a great
many people sit up and take no.
tice. When the European war
commenced raw fur went on the
downward turn and it was just one
year ago that it was hardly worth
while 70 skin the smaller fur bear
ers, as mink, skunk, etc, and ship
their fur, but since the surplus
carried over from the raw fur
season of, 1913-14 has been con-
sumed, and the supply and col
lection of 1914-15 has also been
consumed, the supply at the pres
ent time equals the demand and
consequently, with the possible
exception of mink, the prices have
gone upward and trapping today
is mighty profitable occupation.
One year ago 75c to S1.0o was
good value for a skunk, 81 toS1. 25
was considered high quotation
for raccoon, and muskrats sold on
the average from 8 to 10c, and
strange to say these figures were
all that any fur-shipper expected.
Compare these prices with pres
ent day values. Is it any wonder
that the farmer boy finds it profit
able to get out and trap these So
called svarmints?'
''The golden opportunity of the
farmer boy to pick up neat pile
of money in his spare time this
winter should not be overlooked
and the exercising of a little com
mon horse sense will go long
ways towards determining the
amount of his earnings"

TRAGIC DEATH
Robert R. Yoorhes Meets With Ac
cident on Threshing Machine

This community was shocked
Wednesday to hear of the death of
Robert r. Worries, of this place,
who was we'll known oyer most of
the county as an engineer and
part owner of threshing outfit
which has been operating in the
northwestern part of the county
the past season.
For the past few days he and his
crew had had successful and sat
isfactory run at the farm of MIR.
Norris, five miles east of Forest
City, and the day of the accident
it was thought they would be thru
with the job that evening.
The accident occurd about two
o'clock p. IN. The separator had
been stopt for few minutes, with
the engine still going, and Mr..
Voorhcs was engaged in oiling the
engine, standing on the upper por-
tioo of it, when his coat caught in
the belt, dragging him with it.
Death resulted almost instantly,
several deep gashes being cut in
his face, his neck broke and a
large section of the scalp cut open.
The remains were brot to For
est City and prepared for burial at
the home of his fatherinlaw, MIR.
John Sternhagen. Owing to the
lateness of the hour, we are una
BILE to give further particulars in
this issue.
It is expected that the funeral
services will be held at Gettys-
burg on Friday, nec. Sd, at 2:30 p.
m., or Immediately after the arri-
val of the passenger train from the
east, if not too late, when two sis
tiers from Montana are expected.

WILL WIN IT NOW
President Parrot of Kansas
Day Club Sure of Victory.
ssPrinciple of Protection Is Sc.
cret of Success" He Says.

In speaking before the Kansas Day
club banqueters last night, F. w. Par
rott of Clay Center, president, said in
part:
In recent years, the Republican party
has been subjected to a bitter and re-
lentless attack upon one Of it's most i'm
pOrtant and cherished precepts-the
principle of genuine protective tariff
that great policy which a few years
ago placed this country in the very
forefront of all the great manufacture
ing nations of the world and which has
provided the greatest market for labor,
the world has ever known.
In this crisis. We nave had not only
to meet the unceasing assaults OF the
Democratic party, but have had to face
detection and cold, calculating ambi-
ton within our own ranks. 1t profits
nothing to discuss that phase of the is
sue now, but in passing, we may hope
that as that movement is now prac-
tically over, those returning will pledge
anew support of the time tried doctrine
of their fathers.
1.-The urgent need of the hour is that
we place the banner of the Republican
party in the hands of tried and trusted
leaders and in 1916. wage a campaign
for the great American principle of
protection.
with these two things assured, the
Republican party will win the most
sweeping victory Of its whole career,
and simultaneously, the sun of pros
perity, obscured during the last two
years, will once more shine over this
fair but afflicted land of ours.
