RABBIT A SOURCE OF PROFIT
Possibility That Wild Bunny May Yet
Become Of Solid Value to
the Country.

Fully 200,000,00O wild rabbits
are killed in the United States every
year, according to estimates made by
the biological survey of the United
States department of agriculture.
Many of them are jack rabbits, the
maiS6ity of which have not been
utilized in the past.
If all the rabbits killed were con-
sumed, they would furnish between
100000 and 100000 tons of valuable
food, and if proper measures were
taken to insure the collection of
skins, these alone would have a value
of $20,000,0OO.
The biological survey has fire.
quently been called upon to help
Western farmers in coping with the
rabbit pest. In view of the prob
able economic value of rabbit meat
and fur in the coming few years, the
energies of the farmers and ranch
men will be directed to the conser-
vation of this important resource.
Already a number Of establish
ments for collecting, dressing, can
ming and shipping rabbit meat are
in operation in Western centers. As
in Australia, the transition of the
wild rabbit in this country from its
status as a pest to a source of profit
is assured, it is believed.-Thrift

Dear Indy Belief am all right,
am in new area where much of the
sighting is going on, but a good ways
back from the front line trenches.
We are in reach of the big guns, how
ever, and | was awakened this morn
ing from the shells bursting close
around. This city is shot all to
pieces; it has once been in the hands
of the Germans and they have not
been driven away very long.
81 saw today as many as thirty
five aeroplanes in the air at once, and
among them was German plane, but
it got away, as it had the start on
them.
"Well, we had a very rainy trip
coming over to this city. We came
part of the way on a train and hiked
the rest of the way; it was very
long walk and some of the boys fell
out. We had our heavy packs on our
backs. l made it all right and feel
fine today.
81 saw many German prisoners at
work on the roads-there sure was
bunch of them.
81 am located in a loft of an old
barn, but | have a very good bunk to
sleep on. | am writing this letter in
little wooden Y. NJ. c. A. building
and it is very good place to write.
Well, its about supper time, so good
bye for this time.

tractor Fowler expects to be

Construction work has been
resumed on the new Garner
building also and this will be
completed at an early date.
Several other new buildings,
including a number of residen-

if parties who own lots in town
will either sell or build on them
we may expect a real building

MATERIAL FOR POWDER BAGS.

Chemically treated cotton cloth,
we are informed by the Army and
Navy journal, has been tested out
by the ordnance department as a
substitute for the silk used for max
ing powder bags. The importance
Of this experiment is shown by the
fact that if it is successful it will
bring about saving of money in
the ordnance program of about
S30.000,O00, and at the same time it
will 60 some distance in meeting
the serious shortage in silk. At
present bags for the large powder
charges used in heavy ordnance call
for millions Of yards of silk, and the
scarcity Of silk has caused an enor-
nous increase in the price. Early
in the war Uermany used chemically
treated cotton, but the failing cot

IDEA FOR CONCRETE VESSELS
New Mixture, It Is Claimed, Will En-
able Them to Be Built Lighter
and Stronger.

Remarkable claims, which will
have far-reaching consequences in
the shipbuilding world if substanti-
ated, are being made for a new con-
crete mixture. with which it is pro-
posed to build vessels that are much
lighter than those now being built,
and yet far more durable. 1t is said
that the Emergency Fleet corpora
tion has been interested in develop
ing this new aggregate. Its ingredi-
ents have not been made known.
The assertion is made that vessels
built of the new material will be
one-ffth lighter than those Of wood,
and at the same time more durable
than those Of steel 1t appears that
the discovery can also be made use
of in applying a covering for con-
crete ships now under construction,
for the purpose of giving them
greater power to resist impact

OLD CUSTOM REVIVED.

One incident of the harvest re-
vival in Britain is a picturesque re-
newal of an ancient custom Of the
wheat fields that never has won a
foothold on our American grain
lands where nature has been too
free-handed to allow the need of
cleaning. Our own vast acres, har-
vested with mechanical perfection
and piling their wheat sacks in
mountains beside our huge thresh-
ers, would smile with disdain upon
the women and children bending
aud bobbing over the cut fields, gath
ering and sorting the few left stalks.
Throughout the centuries, however,
since Ruth's time and long even be-
fore that distant period, the CLEANER
and the cleaning have evidenced one
of the pretty charities of the harvest
season. Sometimes it was a charity
by right of law and at others mere
ly by permission of the land owner,
and always it was a test of the farm
er's heart He who wished to re-
main blind to a Plentiful supply of
gleauings in his field was the one for
whom thanks Of the poor went up to
