TURNING RATS TO ACCOUNT
Japanese Authorities Anticipate Sub
stantiai Revenue From Leather
Made From Hides Of Pests.

In the neighborhood Of Aomori, ia
pan, the hides Of squirrels are tanned
and used as carpets, neckcloths and
for other purposes. This has sug-
gested to Doctor Hasegawa Kiyonari,
head of the Hasegawa hospital at
Osaka, who Is member Of the Osaka
municipal assembly, the possibility Of
turning to good account the hides of
the numerous rats bought by the mu-
nicipal authorities, in view of the
great advance In the price Of hides
and leather. Doctor Hasegawa APP
preached the authorities with the pro.
posal, which was favorably received.
They accordingly tame the skins of
two rats and sought the opinion of
dealers as to what the leather would
sell for. The dealers estimated that
the skin of one rat was worth 20 sen
in Its raw condition. The public health
authorities are now devising special
means Of disinfecting and tanning raj
skins.
1t is estimated that a great sum
could have been obtained by tanning
the hides Of one-third Of the rats
bought by the Osaka municipal au.
thorities during the last twenty years

To Pollyfox,


Put down red mark to the senate'a
credit for introducing the word polly.
fox" Here we have pussyfooting with
characteristics more subtle even than
silence. If one pussyfoots, well and
good; he does not disturb, and it may
reasonably be argued that only those
engaged in evil doing or suffering from
nerves object to those who come upon
one noiselessly.
The pussyfooter may have no oh.
jectionable purpose in pussyfooting.
He may even be amiably determined
not to distract one engaged in ponder.
ing painful problem, as whether II
is better to earn an income and be
taxed, or to escape both and play golf.
But, as we understand it, to pollyfox
implies sly purpose. An angel child
possessed Of chunk Of ice, with its
lovely orbs fixed on the inviting space
between its papa's neck and collar
will pollyfox even if it never heard Of
the word.
There is much in the contemplation
of politics which makes to welcome
the verb Ito pollyfox." - New York

THREE LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

Bouquets and brickbats are usually
received in the office Of a newspaper
that shows enough life to accom-
plish anything, and Saturday morn
ing the budget of some fifteen or
eighteen letters from Shelley con-
tanning subscription checks bore
three messages with more than or
binary contrast and spice.
One man paid up and said to stop
the paper. He didn't want it. He
did not have any use for useless
paper.
Another man wrote that he en-
joyed the paper very much, and
priced it sufficiently to preserve and
bind them. He had missed a copy
or two and asked for the back NM
bers SO his file would be complete.
The third man in the list sof I'M
usual letters said he was, glad to pay
up arrears and year in advance, as
the paper had been satisfactory to
him and had saved him several times
the cost of the paper by not joining
the Nonpartisan league.
Other comments frequently made
that the writer wants his paper con-
tinued because we do so much TO aid
the farmer. Others stop their
papers because we are against the
farmer. Still others stop theirs be-
cause we are against the Nonparti-
san league, and some new orders
come in because we are against the
leaders of the league.

BIG DRIVE STARTS TODAY

Chairman John G. Brown, of the united war
work campaign, desires to warn all people not to
expect expenses to stop just because firing has
ceased, nor to expect that we can keep the boys
comfortable over there on less expense since the
enemy guns are sienced.
Since "there is only one thing worse than a
great victory, and that great defeat it follows
that the drive to raise money to keep up the morale
of our boys in the awful period of policing the
wreck of the world and relieving the distress of
starving and shivering millions, must be carried
thru on schedule time and at high tide Of generous
ity
Other armies will be mustered out to go home
to their families from whom they have been sep
arated for years; but our men, fresh and vigorous
and representing the worlds epitone of honor and
chivary, will stay to feed the hungry protect the
weak, cothe the shivering, comfort and cheer the
broken-hearted, and apply in practical application
the principle of the brotherhood of man.
