To PoIIHox.

Put down red mark to the senate's
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. 4
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 IT
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 it's
lovely Orbs fixed on the inviting space
between its papa's neck and collar,
will pollyfox even If 1t never heard of
the word.
There is much in the contemplation
Of politics which makes to welcome
the verb ito pollyfox." - New York

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 ap-
preached the authorities with the pro-
posal, which was favorably received.
They accordingly tanned 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 rat
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.

FIGHT ON HISTORIC GROUND
American Troops Operating in Country
for Many Centuries the Scene
Of Wars and Revolutions.

American sol'>iers during their brief
leisure moments ere wandering
through ruins and over fields made fa-
miliar to students Of history by GEN.
turtles Of wars and revolutions. Some
of them have already fought on the
scene of some of Napoleon's operations
in the region Of the Marine.
Some are training over ground where
the Normans fought the French and
where the French fought the Span
iards. Later they will perhaps be
marching in line Of battle over the
>untry where the French and the Ger.
mans have fought again and again and
where they will help the French and
the British end the last of the wars to
devastate the valleys of France for
centuries to come.
Nearly the entire history of France
Is pictured all over the areas occupied
by the Americans in ancient churches,
which, along with object lessons in his
tory, will give the attentive soldier an
enlarged appreciation Of art and archi-
lecture.
Asked to what extent the men were
profiting from these opportunities, an
officer of the American forces said that,
after getting located, the soldier takes
the first opportunity to explore the
neighborhood. To use one of the Brit
ish terms that are taking root among
the overseas men, they push OFF, into
all the hooks and corners. If their con-
ceptions Of what they see are often
vague at first they soon get the habit
of observation which develops into
taste and, in goodly number of cases,
becomes study.

CAPTURES OWN BROTHER
Dramatic Incident Occurs on the
Western Front.


The great war-breeder Of romance
and adventure-has given birth to one
Of the most dramatic situations record
ed since the ,kaiser's hordes started
on their march through Belgium in
1914.
A United States marine fighting on
the western front recently captured
his own brother during raid on the
enemy trenches. During the days of
the Civil war, when brother fought
brother and father and son faced
each other through the smoke Of bat
tie, such incidents were more or less
everyday occurrences. But in this,
the greatest of all wars, writer's have
been quick to say-that romance in bat
tie was thing of the past,
Private Harold J. Dibbs of the q. s.
marine crops, tells Of the incident in
letter written to his parents in Great
Falls, Mont.
"A strange incident happened when
I went over the top. I saw marine
capture his own brother, who had
beer ut into the Germany army while
on It over there. Another soldier
Of an allied nation wanted to kill him,
as he had helped in the capture. 1t
was an interesting sight, to be sure.
The brother declared his intention Of
joining the American forces"

Well, That's Different

While high-priced lawyers argued
wrathfully for their clients over the
ownership of little white Eskimo dog
the animal in controversy was brought
into court in sack by negro, dead.
Instantly the contestants changed
sides. This was at Atlanta.
"Give 1t to that woman there" ex-

sworn out possessory warrant for a
Spitz dog before Judge L. z. Rosser.
mo, give it to her, I want her to
have it," retorted Mrs. Anna Lee, who
was contesting the possessory war
rant.
The confused negro left the dog and
retreated.
Judge Rosser gave the dead dog to
Mrs. Brazell.

meat PRODUCERS
Did FULL DUTY
Increase in, American Hogs win
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
ofsPork Production-Sevenfo
Increase Over Pre-.
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added in car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action of stimulation
of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats. and pork will help to save this
situation The efficacy of the policy
of stimulated production has built up
In this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part Of
the fat deficiency of the world. In
beef there must be shortage in Eu.
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filed by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers Of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the q. S. De-
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle of 1925, 900 head
and 12,441,OOo hogs. These figures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was decrease
In sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
tons are that this decrease will show
an increase. according to recent re-
ports.
Since January unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase In hogs Of
not less than 8 per cent. and not
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an Increase in
the average weight.
Following the request Of the q. 8.
Food Administration for an increase
In hog production for marketing in the
fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,6OO,-
pOuuuS VI POih piouuSto
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80.
1917, amounted to 903,172,OO0 pounds,
while for the corresponding months of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277 $780, 900, an increase of over 374,-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter of
dressed beef showed 1,263, 100000
pounds as against 1,454, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September l, this year.

Auburn, N. Y, has a seventy.two-

could do some war service by taking

said: Are you boy? But before
could answer another man remarked

NOTICE TO TAX PAYERS

Persons having their tax notices
and desiring to make payment are
informed that it Is much more con-
venient to the treasurer to receive
checks BY mail accompanied by the
tax notice. Many more receipts can
be written in day, where the re-
mittances are made yb mail than
where the tax payers come to the Of
fee in person.
A suggestion is offered that I'M
less the tax payer wishes to see the
treasurer personally that a check be
attached to the notice and be mailed
in or handed in and the tax notice
will be returned to the individual by
mail.

MOTOR TRACTORS HELP

Keep Artillery Almost Abreast Of Ad-
vance at All Times.
Americans in London who are famil-
lar with late developments in army
methods believe that the American
success in the SOissons- Chateau Thier-
nv counter-offensive was due to their
ability to move heavy artillery for
ward quickly.
Artillery motor tractors, it is be-
lieved, are the answer. BY use of the
armored tractor they could keep their
artillery almost abreast Of the ad-
vance at all times. The tractor Is
said to be able to do six miles an hour
over the toughest ground.

Somewhere in Belgium, Oct. 26, 1918
Dear brother and mother:
Well this finds me in Mytarded,
Belgium, after quite trip la foot
back, to Mussey and a la box-car
here. Surely / thought i had seen
enough foreign soil, but guess not.
am feeling fine and am back in
the kitchen again. ] guess ! won't
see battle again in case l do happen
to go up again.
suppose you read the battle OF
Argonne forest, and that you know
considerable, about it. We made the
drive between the Argonne and the
Mouse. We hit them for nine day
steady, went back of the lines and
then right back at them again for
five days more. Then to rest up we
hiked it to the rear.
Our division, the ninety-first, is
cited for bravery in the fight they
put up, and what We accomplished,
so suppose we get medal or some
kind of an ornament. Guess I'll
look like a county fair when l re-
turn. However. l will be satisfied If
| don't get any more stripes.
We are pretty we'll rested now and
are drilling as of old. OF course, we
need to do something to keep us oc-
Ecupied.
Belgium is much different from
France, the country is level and the
soil looks better. OF course, I
haven't dug any holes as in the
French soil. There are nice houses
on farms, at least they were nice be-
fore the coming of the Hun. They
are made of brick, with tile roofs,
and are finished on the inside like
our houses. The towns, that is what
is left of them, shows that once they
were real good. One town nearby is
in good condition now, comparing 1t
to the rest of the evacuated places.
l suppose you would be glad to
know that I landed in Scotland and
travelled down across England to
South Hampton, and across to La
Harve and then la box-car to
southeastern France. We trained at
Chaumont and Bossigny. So you see
it has been quite a trip.
One thing about being here Is that
we are close to the sea so it wouldn't
be much of a trip to embark.
Don't worry about Fritz hitting
me. He doesn't seem to have my
correct address and lam not handing
out any cards.
Don't worry about my welfare.
Love and est wishes,
Your TOM.

The following letter is written to
Mrs. Garfield Bond from her bro
Their:
On active service,
Oct. 81, 1918.
Dear Cora and Garfield:
I'll write you a line as it is the
first I have had a chance to write
for nearly a month, so you will have
to excuse this Letter If you find it
short and soiled, as have been pack
ing this paper for several weeks. l
am we'll aDd feeling fine considering
the rain and mud which is about
shoe-top deep.
l wish We had little of that good
old Idaho sun and some Of that wind
that is so plentiful there, over here.
1t has been raining most of the time
for month; the soil is yellow clay,
so you know it is some sticky. The
desert out there looks awfully good
compared with this country. Most
of the towns around here are pretty
we'll demolished, as this is in the
war zone. In some there is only a
wall or two left standing, others
have a few buildings still, while
others have only few buildings
destroyed.
Well l have been over the top as
they say. We were on a big drive
and it was moving day for the Huns
right along, We are in different
locality now which is very quiet.
l have only got two letters since
I came over and they were mailed
to me at Camp Kearney, they say
if fellow gets letter here before
three months he is in luck. I am
mailing you coupon, but it Is doubt
full if you will get it in time to send
me a Christmas package. The only
thing | need is a pair of wool or
light leather gloves, some homemade
candy or hard chocolate would be
great. Anyway don't send anything
very valuable for | might not get it.
Well l did not get to mail this
so | know you won't get the coupon
in time, but l will leave it anyway.
When you write you might send
few post card pictures, mean pho
tos. Well for wonder we have had
four or five days that it hasn't
rained,- the sun peeks out once in
q while, but it is mostly cloudy.
Well write and tell me all the
news, there isn't much to write
here except war and that is taboo.
So good bye,
ELMER.
