nEMiND F0K RABBIT SKINS

In recent years several KINDS OF Iur'
formerly of so little value as to offer
no inducement to the trapper, have
been raised in price, and consequently
collecting them has been made prott-
able. Rabbit pelts, which are exten-
sively used by hat makers, are among
these products. One eastern concern
has announced that it will need 10000
900 rabbit skins during 1919 and l92O,
and it desires as far as possible to Sc
cure them from American sources.
This is an indication of market
which should interest many farmer
boy. This fall and winter dried, cased
rabbit skins will probably bring
reasonably good return. They are
sold by the pound which will contain
seven or eight skins. Many farm boys
can readily acquire, in the course OF
the winter, large numbers of skins,
which will net them tidy sum and
in addition they will have the pleasure
of trapping experience. The United
States Department of Agriculture will
supply any inquirer with the names
and addresses of possible purchasers
of rabbit skins and other pelts.

COLORED PEOPLE EXPRESS
THEIR APPRECIATION

(The following letter from a colored
man from Ellendale is printed by his
request, so that the people may know
that the cOlored race appreciate the
splendid gift of Pierre, S. DUPONT of
S500,000 to rebuild the colored schools
in elaware.-Editor.)
Mr.. Editor:-Please correct the err
rors in this letter as to spelling and
print it in the Milford Chronicle so
that the people can know that the ne
gro as a race appreciate the gift of
Mr.. Pierre s. DUPONT to our public
schools. He is doing a great work
for the benefit of the colored race
which is now appreciated, and which
will in the future be a blessing to the
boys and girls of this day who will
be the men and women of the future.
The colored men and women Of this
day who are capable of thinking and
looking to the future should deter
mine for themselves and urge upon
their fellows the great necessity Of
controlling our passions and our ap-
petites.
We must remain sober men and wo-
men, careful of our moral lives, obed-
lent to our employers and faithfully
perform any task we may undertake.
In the effort to benefit the colored
race by Mr.. dupont we see some Of
the purposes of Abraham Lincoln to
give the black man and woman the
opportunity to become respected citi-
zens in the State.
Many colored men are ignorant of
the new school law, but we appeal to
our colored brethren to stagger not
through unbelief and false advice of
the politicians who would exploit our
people for their own benefit through .
politics. Let us be fully persuaded 1
that Mr.. dupont will do what he has
promised
Brethren, give thanks for the kind
ness of Mr.. DUPONT to our public
schools. Let the elders who rule be
counted worthy of honor, especially
those who labor in the doctrines OF
the Scriptures. 1t is said, Thou shalt
not muzzle the OK that treadeth out
the corn, and the laborer is worthy
of his reward"
This message is from Moses L. Cuff
to his colored brethren of Delaware.

A nOCT0R TO OLD SHOES

To reduce the high cost of walking,
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has become a doctor to old
shoes-not a general practitioner, but
a consulting specialist, both in dag
nosis and treatment. One of its most
recent prescriptions, evolved by the
Bureau of Chemistry, has to do with
the pair of last winters shoes that,
about this time of the year, are pulled
out of the closet all full Of mildew
and looking hopelessly done for. The
prognosis is that the disease is not
fatal, but that the shoes are good for
month or two anyhow. The treat
ment is: Brush or rag, applied ex-
ternally; castor oil, small quantity,
vigorously rubbed ina sunshine, one
or two days.

New Subway Alarm.

A tunnel of the Metropolitan rail-
way, in London, which much, of the
time is filled with smoke or steam, has
been equipped for its 1900 feet Of
length with an iron tube for giving
notice of the approach Of trains, the
tubes to be agitated so as to produce
a noise, by means Of treadles. and be-
ing so arranged that it can be out Of
service when no men are at work in
the tunnel. It was found that horns
or gongs could be heard not over 700
feet in a clear atmosphere AMI a much
shorter distance when the atmosphere
was filled with smoke or steam. A
galvanized iron tube, Of about three
quarters inch internal diameter, is
hung along the side Of the tunnel at
the height of mans head, and as
trains approach or enter the tunnel
this pipe is caused to vibrate in such
a way that 1t can be heard through
out it's length.
