FRAUD
The latest type Of fraud which has
been called to our attention by one Of
the Home Service Sections in the
Southwestern Division Is the offer Of
some eastern organization (name un-
known to bring back the bodies Of
the deceased members Of the Amer-
can Expeditionary Forces in France
at the rate Of $40 per body This
company evidently is writing to the
families direct and is suggesting that
the $40 be enclosed by return mail
Home Service Sections must be pre-
pared to warn soldiers families
against such a practice and to advise
them that this question can be taken
up only with the Government through

MUSKRAT HIDES NOW BRING
$780, TRAPPERS JOYFUL
HIGHEST PRICE EVER OFFERED
IN HISTORY OF TRAPPING
Trappers of TaylOr's Bridge and BOm-
bay Hook Reaping a Harvest.
Rats Not So Plentiful.

Muskrat trappers in the lower part
of New Castle county, especially
around Taylor's Bridge as we'll as
owners of rat marshes on Bombay
Hook Island, are reaping a harvest
this winter with the pelts at higher
price than in many years. In former
years so cents, IS cents and 81 per
hide was considered very high, but
this year has surpassed all former
records, with $3.50 hide being offer
ed, and in addition to that the trap
rers are receiving 25 cents apiece for
the meat. 1t is also probable that the
price per hide will go still higher be-
fore the winter is over. Some of the
trappers are getting 25 to 35 of the
animals a day and with existing
prices these trappers will clean up
a small fortune before the close of
the season next spring. A number of
the trappers have marshes in the low
er part of the country rented for the
Season and have the exclusive trap
ping privilege. From Port Penn all
along the river is good trapping
ground and each winter it is trapped
thoroughly by people living in the vi
cinity. The trappers ship many of
the hides to Philadelphia, New York
and st. Louis markets. In addition to
these, there also are a number of fur
dealers who travel over the county
buying up the valuable pelts. The
muskrats are not only trapped in New
Castle county, but are also trapped in
the two lower counties. The pelts
from the lower counties are not as
valuable, however, as those from New
Castle county, the ones from this sec
ton being slightly heavier. Until re-
cent years "marsh rabbit" was not in
general demand but now there is a
big demand for it. The muskrat meat
is shipped mostly to Baltimore and
Philadelphia markets, and nets the
trappers 25 cents apiece. The musk
rats are not found in the upland parts
of the country and are only found
along the river in marshes. The
homes of the muskrats in the marsh
es often attract attention. Contrary
to the general belief, the muskrat is
one of the cleanest animals known and
it is this fact that has caused it to
become popular as an article of food.
