RABBITS A PEST NO LONGER
Australia Finds the one-Time Curse
Now q Profitable Source Of
Revenue. 81

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., which were
once the curse of Australia, as they
have been to lesser extent In the
southwestern United States, now are
providing a profitable source of reve-
nue. and at the same time helping to
win the war by increasing the food
supply.
Official dispatches received here say
the British board of trade has ordered
100000 crates Of skinned rabbits,
which win require the killing of 21,-
100000 rabbits, weighing 100000
pounds after dressing. Previously the
rabbits were shipped with the skins
on, but Inconvenience was experienced
at hospitals In England In removing
the fur.
How to dispose of the skins is caus-
Ing the Australians speculation. There
Is a ready market for them In this
country, but tonnage is scarce.

TRACES KIN IN ARMY
Red Cross win Keep Relatives
Informed.
Bureau VIII Get information Regard
Ing Men Wounded, Killed +.
or Missing.

Washington.-The American Red
Cross, through its bureau Of communi-
cation, issued a request to the rela-
lives Of soldiers who are in the Amer
lean expeditionary force, In which il
asks these relatives to make inquiries
regarding their kin who are in the
army through the Red Cross bureau
of communication in Washington in
stead of, as is the case in numerous
instances, of communicating with
agencies or individuals In Europe. The
request was issued in the name OF
Harvey ID. Gibson, the American Red
Cross commissioner in France.
Mr.. Gibson points out the fact that
in q majority of scases such inquiries
are merely turned over by the individ-
ual or agency to the Red Cross, which
has charge of such communication with
soldiers relatives, and which has de-
veloped special facilities for obtaining
information about those reported
killed, wounded, or missing, and those
from whom letters have not been re-
ceived. Congestion Of cables and
loss of time and energy are also oc-
casioned by making the request other
than through the Red Cross. 1t has
been known that as many as four sep
arate requests have been received
about the same men by different in
situations.
Edward M. Day, acting director OF
the bureau of communication, said:
"The function of this bureau is to
give relatives all possible information
which will lessen anxiety. Every in
quiry is handled with full realization
that a prompt and full reply is Of seri-
Gus moment to the happiness, peace OF
mind, and not infrequently to the
health Of the relatives. BY writing to
the bureau, relatives frequently will
get Immediately information at hand
and may be sure that search is started
abroad as quickly as the case war
rants"

SPITE o. WAR AND HIGH WATEI


If you wanted to sell a secondhand
automobile, or rent house, you would
put an advertisement in the paper and
run it few times or until you sold the
machine or rented the house and then
you would quit.
If you were manufacturing goods or
running a store, you would maintain
your advertising continuously, because
you would not be aiming to make one
sale, but many-as many as you could.
All right. Now comes along a war and
upsets your supply of raw materials,
or made-up goods, or maybe the gov
eminent takes over your output or cur
tails it, thereby either completely or
partially eliminating your civilian
trade. Would it be worth while to
continue to advertise? That is the
question that many of our big indus
tries are facing. What are they doing
With hardly an exception they are
CONTINUING. Not with a view of
influencing immediate sales. Not at
all. But, realizing that present con-
ditions are going to melt back into
history at no very distant date they
are keeping alive their names and rep
utations. If they discontinued, think
of the millions of dollars of good will
value back of all those trademarks and
names that would be lost or greatly re-
duced. Preservation is natures first
law. Preservation of prestige is like
wise is the first law of business.
Among the larger industries to
maintain, and in fact increase, their
advertising this fall, the VIM. Wrig-
ley Jr., Company is noted, as evidenced
by the copy" now running on a fire.

er. Welcome, Mr.. Wrigley, and we
hope our local merchants will be heart
ened by your energy.
Also, Mr.. Wrigley, may we commend
your attitude of injecting strong pa
triotic note in your advertising, in
stead of the usual sales talk about
"Wrigley's" being great for appetite
and digestion? We understand the
soldiers and sailors are taking most of
your output and that we at home will
have to chew our Wrigley's little
longer. All right. 'The flavor lasts"
anyway, and we won't have to go COM
pletely without, judging from the
stocks of your goods our merchants
are apparently able to maintain in

We agree with Gen. Sherman in his
definition of war, and we also agree
with Mr.. Wrigley in his statement that
WE MUST WIN THIS WAR and that
until we do nothing else really mat
tiers.
In this connection may we be per-
mitted to remark that newspaper space
is receiving earnest attention in these
days of momentous news, and that the
columns of The Courier-Reporter are
just as valuable as they ever were, if
not more so, in stimulating good will
and in maintaining the prestige of the
goods, the trade marks and the names
set forth therein.

FIRST JAPANESE
EMBASSY TO US.
SENT SO YRS. AGO

Toxic, March 26-The sixtieth an
niversary of the sending of the first
Japanese Embassy to the United States
was suitably observed today by a COM
memorative ceremony at, the grave
of Ambassador Niimi-no-kami, feudal
lord of Busen, first japanese envoy to
the United States. At the tomb Amer
lean Ambassador Morris presented a
beautiful wreath and planted a pine
tree in commemmoration of the day.
There were present the descendants
of the late envoy, Viscount Motono,
Minister for Foreign Affairs, and 9TH
er prominent Japanese and Ameri-
cans. The road to the temple grounds
in which the tomb stands was lined
on both sides with school children and
the incident attracted wide attention.
The Yorodzu, while expressing its
qualification at the tribute paid by the
American Ambassador to the memory
of the japanese envoy, remarked that
the soul of the old envoy may not be
moved to express unreserved graft
tude to America until his fellow coun-
trymen are given the same treatment
as that accorded Europeans in Amer
lea. So long as the United States dis
eliminates against the Japanese deli
cate diplomatic courtesies will be in
sufficient to consolidate the tradition
al friendship between Japan and
America, said the paper.
The Japan Gazette (British) retort-
ed that Japan similarly discriminates
against foreign labor and for the same
reason.

Of such vital importance in war op-
erations, the Department Of Agricul-
ture in its agricultural program for
1918 urges that an effort be made to
increase the production of sheep and
wool. Increase in farm focks is rec
commended wherever conditions are
favorable and the first cost Of stock
ing is not too high.
The wool produced in this country
furnishes only about so per cent. of
the amount used in peace times; the
war demands have emphasized the
seriousness of this domestic shortage.

Eastern and Southern States. Steps
should be taken in the East and
South to do away with the skeep-kill-
ing dog menace by State or local ac-
ton. Large results can be secured by
improvinsAmethdds of breeding and
management; by securing the restock-
ing of improved farm lands with
sheep; by the larger use Of forage
crops and pastures; by encouraging
sheep and lamb clubs; by the elm
ination of parasites; by protection
against losses from predatory ami
mails; and by having lambs ready for
market at from 70 to 80 pounds
weight, thereby requiring a minimum
of grain to finish them and making
possible the maintenance of larger

During recent years we have shorn
about So million feeces annually, and
the pulled wool taken from sheep and
lambs slaughtered for meat brings
the total clip up to the equivalent of
about 40 million heeces. If all this
wool were suitable for military use, it
would supply only two million men.
