SKINNED CATS SOLD
AS GRAY SQUIRRELS
COUNTRY BOY DOES THRIVING
BUT FRAUDULENT TRADE
IN SAN FRANCISCO.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Society
folk and epicures of San Francisco
are indignant because for months
they have been deceived. What makes
it worse is that a 16-year-old boy. a
country boy at that. is the chase de-
ceiver."
Jimmie Burkett, of Lone Oak. Cal.
acted as guide for party of San
Francisco millionaires on a hunting
trip through the mountains of Shasta
county year ago last summer. Jim
ME is mountain-bred and wise in his
generation. He is crack shot and
knows the mountains as a preacher
knows his Book.
The boy killed many squirrels and
caught many trout for the party.
When the camping trip was over he
had entered into a deal whereby he
was to send his San Francisco friends
so many squirrels week. Gray
SQUIRRELS, as is we'll known, are a de-
light to any epicure's palate.
Fame and Business Grew.
Then Jimmie began sending the
squirrels" to his friends. His fame
grew and his business increased. Each
member of the camping party told a
friend of the wonderful squirrel
dinners. Jimmie's mail-order bust
ness increased and he was making
money fast.
But it is against the law to sell
grey squirrels. The game wardens
heard about the squirrel business
and camped on Jimmie's trail. No
arrest has been made, but Jimmie's
business has failed. He ships no more
Squirrels" His former customers
are indignant and Jimmie will never
guide another party from San Fran
cisco. The spOrtsmen have his mum
ber."
The truth is that Jimmie sent them
no squirrels at all. He just raised the
common or household variety of cats.
and as soon as they were the size of
squirrel he killed and skinned them
and sent them to his customers.
Say squirrel" to several San
Francisco capitalists and clubmen and
a fight will follow. Say meow
and run for your life.

MORE THAN THREE
MILLION HOMELESS
BILLION DOLLARS TO BE RAILS
ED TO AID DESTITUTE AND
STARVINGS JEWS.

NEW YORK.-A fund of $1,000
100000 to be used to finance the re-
construction of the Jewry of the
world will be sought by the Joint
distribution committee of the Amer
lean funds for Jewish war sufferers,
which, it was announced here, will
undertake what it described as "the
largest purely humanitarian project
In history to be attempted by indi-
vidual effort"
This money, according to Felix M.
Warburg, will not be sought alone
through contributions but will en-
brace the fields of lending and in
vestment and will be accepted from
nOn-Jewish as well as Jewish sources.
The plan is based on reports re-
ceived from every country where
Jews have suffered during the war.
Commissions of American Jews will
be sent to Russia, Rumania, Poland,
Palestine, Serbia, Greece and other
lands as soon as the international
situation permits.

EPIDEMIC YET SEVERE;
IS ABATING, HOWEVER
MORE THAN $4,000 DEATHS RE-
PORTED. STERN PREVENTIVE
MEASURES ARE TAKEN.

While the ravages of Spanish in
fuenza, grip" and pneumonia were
reported to be as severe as one week
ago, the epidemic is dying down in
the army camps and cantonments.
The public health service, in Wash
ingtOn, announces that it now is mo-
bilized for a national campaign
against the dread disease, which has
claimed at least 100000 victims in
one month, with a death toll of more
than $4,000 men, women and chill
dren.
The health service has just added
four more stations to fight the dis
ease in the states in which the out
break is severe. These are at Column
bia, S. c., Richmond, Va, Columbus,
Ohio, and Baltimore, Md.
The report that the spread of the
disease shows signs of abatement in
the army camps is taken as one of
happy significance, for it was in the
army camp at Camp Devens, Mass,
that the epidemic first made its ap-
pearance. Since the beginning of the
scourge the cases in army camps in
this country reported were 100000,
and victims of pneumonia were 3d.
465. The death toll was 10,741 men.
Stern Preventative Measures.
In the meantime the civil authori-
ties have not been lax in taking meas
ures to relieve suffering and to pre-
vent the further spread of the cpl
demic. In many cities the work has
been Misunderstanding. In Philadelphia
and in small Pennsylvania towns
there has been difficulty in dispos-
ing of the dead because of a short
age of undertakers and collins. In
Washington, D. c., sufferers have
walked the streets delirious, and vir-
tually in a dying condition, because
of the shortage of doctors and hos
pital accommodations.
Eighty army surgeons were sent
from Washington to Allentown, Pa,
and then distributed throughout the
state to coal mining communities,
where the disease has been specially
virulent
Deaths in Washington city averag-
ed IS a day for the past ten days.
Steps have been taken by the gov
eminent to erect a "hurry-up" tenn
porary hospital, where all may be
treated. About 1900 new cases were
reported every day last week.
Theaters, motion picture places, sa-
looms, halls, schools, churches and
other places where the public gathers
in normal times, have been closed for
two weeks in nearly all the eastern
states, save in New York city, where
the scourge has not made itself mani
fest in an epidemic degree. Daily
death reports in Greater New York
were only about $50 a day.
In Georgia the epidemic has been
comparatively light and the number
of deaths small It is abating, and
churches and theaters in the cities
have been opened again.

NEGROES in ARMY
ENTITLED TO VOTE
LITERACY TEST WILL NOT AP-
PLY TO THEM. DEMOCRATS
SHOULD co TO THE POLLS.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Every negro
now in the army will be entitled un-
der the law to register without com
plying with the literacy test, since
the law provides that confederate
veterans and members of the army,
among others, shall be exempt this
test. Undoubtedly the negroes re-
turning from the war will avail them
selves Of this opportunity and en-
deaVOr to make themselves an active
force in politics. This will not hap
pen in the forthcoming general elec-
ton, but it will by the time the next
one rolls around, two years hence.
In view of this fact it would seem
to behoove Georgia democrats to get
IN the habit early of supporting their
primary nominees by going to the
polls and voting in the general cleo
ton November 5th. The time will
soon be gone when a general election
can be allowed to go by default, Sc
cure in the knowledge that nobody
will undertake to defeat the demo-
cratic nominees.
Democrats Should Be on Guard.
Already the republican party or
ganization in Georgia is paving the
way for future developments by put
ing out a candidate for the United
States senate and two candidates for
congress. They are planning to con-
duct an active campaign. They seem
to believe their candidates, for some
hidden reason, are going to get a
very substantial vote, though exactly
why it should be expected that the
democrats of Georgia are going to
bolt their primary is not quite clear.
William J. Harris is the nominee
Of the democratic party of Georgia
for the senate. In every congression-
al district the party has nominees,
two of whom-Gordon Lee and
Thomas M. Behave republican
opposition.
If the democrats stay away from
the polls and let the negro republi-
cans do all the voting they are liable
to have their white primary suprema-
CIV Knocked into a cooked hat by the
election of a republican senator. The
best way to guard against this posi-

BROWN SAYS APPLY
HUNGER TREATMENT
BY DRIVING THE COTTON PRICE
DOWN THE MILLS REAP
IMMENSE FORTUNES.

Apply the hunger treatment" to
the cotton mills is the advice of
Commissioner of Agriculture J. j.
Brown, to the cotton producers of
Georgia and the South, until they
are willing to pay a fair price for
the product.
While reasonable market f1uctua-
lions are to be expected" Commits
sloner Brown says, in a statement
Just given the press, "the recent con-
siderable decline is due solely to
manipulation and meager hand-to-
mouth system of taking by the mill
men. It's just their same old plan
and it serves to emphasize just now,
the Importance of our advice to the
farmer, continually given this fall, to
60 slow in marketing.
The demand for products from
cotton is greater than in many years.
Cotton goods are selling, in some
cases, even higher than silks. Man
ufacturers are making money as new
er before. In driving cotton down
they are merely fattening their own
pocketbooks at the expense of the
farmer, They have got to have cot
ton to meet their contracts, and they
are going to buy it.
''These are the facts which should
furnish the basis of action by the
producer. The few who persist in
rushing their cotton to market at
any price are hurting both them
selves and the many others who, in
gratifying degree, are holding of
the market. They are helping the
mills defeat the law of supply and
demand"

from the standpoint of a consignOr
and as buyer. In two hours selling
sealskins and foxes owned by the gov

Russian government-wha that
may mean at this time-sent sealskins
to an American market and they
brought record prices, $50 selling for
$14,776.
The demand for all kinds of furs
was unprecedented during the entire
period of the sale, demand that was
voiced by dealers from all parts of
the world and from every class of

Save Garden Seed.

Every boy and girl who has had a
garden this season should, whenever
possible. save seed for next years
planting. In many cases it is possible
to gather beans and peas that have be-
come too old for eating, thus assuring
supply. of good seed for next years
planting. AS q rule, with limited gar
den areas it will not pay to grow beans,
peas, sweet corn and other vegetables
for the production of seed, but when
surplus is allowed to become too old
for eating it does pay to save this sur
plus for seed. Sufficient tomato,
squash, melon, cucumber, and corn
seed may be saved from the product of
almost any garden provided little
attention is given the matter.
Seed should be saved only from
strong, healthy plants. In the case of
beans, peas, and sweet corn, the seed
should be allowed to ripen on the
plant. In the case of such plants as
tomatoes, cucumbers, etc, the fruits
from which the seed is to be saved
should be well ripened. Remove the
seed and spread 1t out to dry. All
seed must be thoroughly dry before
being stored. Garden seeds must be
kept in vermin-proof, well-ventilated
receptacle. A tin bread box is ideal,
as 1t supplies the proper amount Of
ventilation and mice cannot destroy
the contents. Care should be taken to
label every package of seed to avoid
confusion at planting time. Keep the
seed box in dry, well-ventilated
room, such as room on the second
1oor of the dwelling.
