Guiaeas are equipped with din-pro-
ducing organs which rival the braying
of the mule, the penetrative clamor Of
the tick-tack and the turmoil of the
charivari. However. farmers have
capitalized this talent Of the guinea
Because these birds raise "a hue and
cry whenever marauders visit the

few tneas with each farm flock

alarm Of approaching danger. Fur

guineas are raised with flock Of tur-
keys and allowed to rOost In the same
tree, where they can give warning if
any theft is attempted during the
night.
There are three varieties Of domes-
ticated glineas-Pearl, White, and
Lavender of which the first is most
popular. Good size and uniform color
are considered as most important
characteristics in the conformation
and appearance of guineas. The male
and female look alike, although ex-
perienced persons will notice that u.s.
ually the males have larger helmets
and wattles and coarser heads. The
cry Of the female resembles "buck-
wheat, buckwheat," while the call of
the male is one-syllable shrek.

The suggestion has been made that
the rat problem might be best solved
by making use of the skins of the
rodents for the purpose of leather.
Somebody with the gift of guessing
computes that there are 100000 in
this country, and the damage they do
would feed good-sfzed army. It
would take at least 5000 skins day
to supply small modern tannery.
Nobody wants the rats. they belong
to anybody that can catch them.
That is the problem-to catch them,
and then deliver the goods. There is
not enough leather to go around.
Fish skins are susceptible of tam
ming, and there are rat skins which
make good leather, large enough for
many purposes.

FACING THE FACTS

The national debt of the United
states at the end of the fiscal year
l911-1912 was $1,040, $40, 900, or 5000
for each person living in this country
figuring on the basis of 100000, 900 pop
ulation. The national debt of the
United States on June 1, 1919, was
S25,421, Isl, 270. This simply means
that every person in the United States
faces national debt that averages
$231.10. If conditions that have be-
come so radically changed by this so
greatly increased debt are to become
In any wise normal, they can come in
Just one way-the absorption of this
bonded debt by the savings of the PEG
pie.
The answer given the Senate Com
mittee by the governor, w. p. G. Hard.
ing, of the Federal Reserve Board, to
their query as to what legislation was
needed at this time and to relieve the
financial situation, was: "The Federal
Reserve Board believes that any cur
rency legislation at this time is unnec
essary and undesirable and would sug
gest that whether viewed from an eco
nomic or financial standpoint, the rem
edy for the present situation is the
same. namely: Work and save"
The people have got to spend less
and save more.
The people can save Uninvested
money is dissipated too easily and is
wasted too eften. If the money is in
the pocket, that new luxury really not
needed is usually gotten, for 1t is easy
to convince ones self that it is good
business to buy the thing one wants
Invested money earns interest, it ia|
not SO easily spent, andNt encourages
the saving of more.
