AUCTION SALES
ARE NUMEROUS

FE..
Bismarck, N. D.. Sept. 26.-Most Of
the smaller papers Of the state, not
only in the western part but in the
eastern part as we'll. are practically
filled with auction sale advertise
ments. One small paper recently APP
peared with eight solid pages of this
kind of advertising.
A study Of the ads, however. has
revealed the fact that this is not an
indication of hard times in the state,
but can be more readily attributed to
the heavy demand for farm lands by
men from Iowa, Illinois, southern
Minnesota, Wisconsin and from other
points farther east. 1t is doubtful II
farm land has never moved so fast as
1t is moving this fall. 1t is noticeable
also that a large number Of the sales
are being held by men who are cut
ting down their equipment on account
of the introduction of the farm trac.

Combing Won't Rid
Hair Of DandruH

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruf is to dissolve it, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this. get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
Do this tonight. and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruf will
be gone and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once and your hair will De fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You a get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is Inexpensive and
fails to do the work.

Canker. Worm Spread

Moorhead, Mimi, Sept. 26.-The
belief that cankcr worm which has
been doing considerable damage
throughout the state Of Minnesota this
year is spread by automobiles is ex-
pressed in an opinion by A. G. Rug
giles. state entomogolist at the uni
yersity farm.
Professor Ruggles says he believes
that the worms drop On vehicles as
they drive along country. roads and so
are carried to other parts Of the state
without the knowledge of the drivers.
The worms dig in during the winter
and come, out the following spring.
The professor says that the best meth
ed of combating the worms is to at

the worms can not climb to the

ERsKINE TRUSTEES MEET.

A meeting Of the trustees of Frs
kline College was held at Greenwood
on last Friday. The principal matte!
before the meeting was that of voting
an increase in the salaries of the col
lege professors. This was granted.
The trustees took further action
looking to the re-establishment OF a
fitting school in connection with the
college, an institution very much
needed for the proper preparation OF
students for the college classes, and
an INDISPENSABLE institution to the
maintenance of proper standards in
all colleges. A proper committee will
report a plan at the next meeting OF
the trustees which will no doubt be
adopted and which will mean that
Abbeville County will have the bene-
fits to be had from a good prepara-
tory school for boys and that school
located in a good town like Due
West.
The establishment of this fitting
school will mean too that the college
will strictly enforce the entrance re-
quirements into the college classes,
and that hereafter the STANDARD Vt
the college, as fixed, will be rigidly
maintained. This is as it should be

RABBIT FARMING.

The rabbit business is looking up,
and we expect to see great many
more farmers engaged in it in the
next few years besides farmers Ho:-
ton and Kerr. 1t is true that they
have looked further ahead than sore
of the others, seeking to circumvent
the damages to be wrought by the
boil weevil, but the others will follow.
A few issues back we had some
thing to say about the amount Of
money to be made by gathering in
the cotton on the rabbits tails. Last
week we carried an article going to
show that the rabbit skins had be-
come immensely valuable as furs and
that they would be in great demand.
This week we have an article from
the Atlanta Journal telling Of a big
rabbit association to be formed there
in the next few days to promote the
growing of rabbits for meat. When
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1919-11-25

the fur, cotton and meat ends Of the
rabbit business come together there
will be no more valuable asset than a
bed of rabbits.
One of the difficulties about the
business, however, is going to be the
saving of the meat and the preserva-
ton of the cotton and hides. 1t will
not do to shoot a hole in the hide as
this would diminish its value for fur;
|if the rabbit were hit on the tail the
cotton crop might be scattered, and
then a whole rabbit side, or rabbit
ham might be spoiled by having a
load of shot in it. Nobody wants to
be chewing on piece Of rabbit
breakfast bacon or ham and all at
once come down on q shot. There
fore, some way must be devised to
get the rabbits killed without injuring
either the hide, the cotton tail or the
meat.
And we have discovered the idea.
It is to shoot the rabbit in the eye,
Of course it will take a good shot to
hit a rabbit in the eye. But this MAJ
ter can be taken care of also. We
read the other night in Historical
Sketches of South Carolina, by. VIM
James Rivers, that the Catawba In-
dians, in the early days of the whit z
settlers, had a custom of fiattening
he heads of the infants among them
and thus making them better hurtcr=
Coils. Horton and &err h., n.
been the pioneers in the rabbit hIsi-
ness should be pioneers also in IT,
caring for all the rabbit product,
and they should train themselves at
once 10 be good hunters. In accor,:
ance with the. custom of the Cataw-
bas "may we not" suggest that they
go around at once to Bolts blacl:-
smith shop and have their heads
fattened for this purpose, that is if
their heads are not already flat
enough to make them good enough
hunters to hit a rabbit in the eye.
