MOSQUITOES CLOSE UP MILLS
Gulf Coast Region to Shut
Down.

Connell. Textile Gulf Coast re.
gion of East Texas and the western
part of Louisiana have been afflicted
with the worst scourge of mosquitoes
ever known.
Several large lumber mills were
forced to close down on account of the
pest. Men and animals were tortured
by the bites Of the insects. Cattle and
horses were attacked by veritable
hordes of mosquitoes and the ami.
mails huddled together in groups in an
effort to protect themselves as much
as possible from the bites.
Upon the farms smudge fires were
kept burning constantly to drive away
the pests, but these efforts seemed to
be of little avail.

HUNTER SAW SIXTEEN BEARS
Smith Killed and Got the Hides Of
Four of Them in Washing
ton Wilds.

Wenatchee, Wash.-The best bear
story of the season comes from Mer-
rift, and II. B. Smith is the hero.
Smith one day the other week shot
bear 200 yards off, wounding it in a
foreleg. The wounded animal came
dashing down toward him and when
within 100 feet, was brought down
with an accurately aimed shot through
the heart.
Hardly had Smith fired the second
shot, according to the story, when a
second black one poked its head over a
log nearby. One shot finished it. Then
bears began to jump all around. Smith
began a fusillade. He emerged with
four I2'ts. Smith said he. saw 16

TRADE IN ANTIQUES GOOD
London Dealers Say Americans Are
Heavy Buyers and Are Driving
Better Bargains.

London.--Bond street dealers in
antique and "sham antique" furniture
declare that the war lull in local trade
has been more than offset by Ameri-
con buying. These Americans do not
seem the least perturbed by the high
ocean rates. They are, however, driv-
ing better bargains than in the old
days. 1t is no longer the custom to
palm off sham antiques for real. 1t is
said that people of moderate means
are perfectly content to have things
that look like the more valuable ar
ticles at a correspondingly cheap fig
ure.
"We are getting Americans now,"
one dealer is quoted as saying, 'but
there is not so much to be made out
of them. They know what they want,
and what is more, they know the price
they want to pay"

Essentials of a Home.

1t is not money as much as energy,
thought and love that converts place
into home, and there are few things
more contagious than happiness. Chill
dren who have happy home, sur
rounded with flowers, fruits, simple
comforts and innocent pleasures, no
matter how inexpensive the house and
it's furnishings, are like magnets in
the community, and will draw their
companions to that home to share
with them it's joys. - Progressive
