TURNING PESTS INTO PROFITS
United States Department of AericuI.
ture Has Plans for Dealing With
i the Rabbit Problem,

Fully 20O000,000 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 majority of
which have not been utilized in the
past. If all the rabbits killed were
consumed, they would represent be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons of val
liable food, and if proper measures
were taken. to insure the collection of
skins, these alone would have a value
OF $2O,000,0O0. The biological survey
has frequently been called upon to help
western farmers in coping with the
rabbit pest. In view of the probable
economic value of rabbit meat and fur
in the coming few years the energies
of the farmers and ranchmen will be
directed to the conservation of this i'm
rortant resource. Already number
Nt establishments for collecting. dress
~ >, canning, and shipping rabbit meat
are in operation in western centers. As
In Australia the transition of the wild
rabbit in this country from it's status
as pest to source of profit is assured,
1t is believed.

| If it were not for the pioneers hui
,manity would be helpless. The wife
Of Lieut.. A. J. Huntington of the One
Hundred Sixty-Second infantry, resi-
dent in Portland, Ore, has long been
of the opinion that shoes are too high
In price, and, having the courage of
her convictions and possessing also
desire to save leather for the army. she
occasionally wears a pair of neat
wooden low shoes. These are painted
black, with patent leather effect,
and are really very convenient and
classy in still life. though the rigidity
of the sole is some backset. The lieu
tenant sent the shoes from France,
where that style of shoes is much in
use. With rubber tires to dispense
with the staccato rattle on cement
walks, mother and the girls might
save pin money and get along, and
with few old pairs around the house
would never be out of kindling wood.

"FLU" EPIDEMIC
HAS PASSED BY ATLANTA

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. other cities
having environments are in the grip
OF Spanish influenza epidemics, and
drastic measures are being taken to
cope with an alarming situation, At
lanta thus far has fortunately escaped
the dread disease that is sweeping the
country.
Officials of the city health depart
ment of Atlanta believe that this
city's epidemic, which they regard as
inevitable, will not appear in the vir-
ulent form which has caused such a
heavy death toll in other sections. In
the city of Boston, for instance, the
people are dying so fast that the I'M
dertakers cannot furnish enough cof-
fins to bury them in.
Several thousand cases are reported
at Camp Gordon, near Atlanta, and
large portion of the cantonment
has been placed under quarantine, so
that no soldiers are allowed to leave
these exposed barracks and no visi-
tors are allowed to go inside Besides
this precaution about twenty thou
sand other men in the camp are wear
ing gauze masks over their mouth
and nose every day to prevent in

"cellulon," New Wood Pulp Fiber.
There has, says the Board of Trade
Journal, been much discussion in the
German press during recent weeks con-
corning wood pulp fiber named sCel-
, lulon," for which large claims are
made as an efficient substitute for .iute,
cotton and other fibers. 1t appears to
be certain that the fiber is not made
by spinning long strips Of paper run
off reels through water in the manner
which German paper textile suhsti-
tutes have made familiar. The ac-
counts agree in describing the proc
ess, or processes, as a direct manu-
facture from wood pulp. The con.
sui general at Zurich, who has pre-
scented a report to the foreign Office,
states that the method employed op-
crates on the same general lines as
that used for artificial silk manufac-
!ture-that is, by squeezing pulp I'M

Moral and Religious Situation There
Declared to Be Excellent, and

Chaplains Francis B. Doherty and
Lyman Rollins have just returned
from France on military mission to

Chaplain Doherty is attached to gen.

office is, declares the religious public
lty committee, the direction and dis
tribution of chaplains' activities in
France to the end of the attainment of
the best and special interests of all
concerned. under General Pershing.
This work carries with it considerable
travel and gives an intimate knowledge
of the situation from a religious and
moral point of view.
From this broad knowledge Chap
lain Doherty says: Everywhere we
find the same situation, here the same
story; the condition and the spirit of
the men are excellent" When leaving
France on his present mission the
chaplain asked General Pershing:
MAY we not tell our people in Amer
lea that the moral and religious situa-
ton here is eminently high and very
satisfactory" The reply was: eyes,
and you may say furthermore, that it
is going to be kept up to that
Chaplains Doherty and Rollins spoke
enthusiastically of the altogether adj
mirable spirit of fraternity existing
between those who are ministering to
our soldiers. The Catholic chaplains,
they say, are not merely looking to
the good of the Catholic boys nor the
Protestant to that of the Protestant
boys; each is working for the best in
ferest of every man.

WARS DEBT

In battles fought since early days
The victor, when he'd done,
Found thru those dark and bloody
ways
The war was all he'd won
He'd fought a war and Won it, too;
But that was all the gain:
"A hollow crest and lands few
And men by thousands slain
The vanquished people dried their
tears,
And rose in strength once more
To pay the debt of former years.
They paid the winners-WARl
That was bet, crimson debt
The loser always paid.
A nations rue. The debt came due
Another war was made!

All folk to come may taste the fruit
Procured by stopping strife
NO payment there, of war or loot,
But honesty and life!
