NEEDLEWOMEN VERY BUSY
SEWING FOR DESTITUTE

The Red Cross needlewomen are
busy these days, for the large con-
signment of refugee garments was
given out within a week after its ar
rival. The inspection committee urges
that the directions for making each
garment be carefully followed, as they
MUST be made according to the spec
ifications given by headquarters. The
finished articles should be sent in to
the workroom not later than Jan. 25,
as it is big task for the committee
to inspect, tag, sort, tie in bundles,
and to ship to Denver by the last of
the month.
The knitting committee also wishes
to finish their work and ship the last
consignment on the Goth. This means
that all knitted artices-Red Cross
yarn and needles should be turned in
by the 18th. Two more large boxes
of used clothes for the European ref
ugees were shipped yesterday. Most
of these came from the branch at
Marble. The Red Cross IS always
glad to receive serviceabe garments
and they will likely be in demand for
some time.

Titles Lose Their Worth.

The second main part provides that
all Germans shall be equal before the
law and that men and women shall
have basically the same rights and

awarded. No tokens of honor may be
given out by the government and no
German may accept title or order
from a foreign state.
Every citizen of an individual state
is a citizen of the empire. Every
German will have equal rights any
where within the empire and may live
where he pleases. He will have the
right to own real estate and pur-

TRAPPING M SELLING FURS
a A GOOD FARMING SIDE LINE
Many Fur-bearing Animals are Widely Distributed,
and Their Pelts Bring Good ~Prices-Trappers
Should Wait Until Cold Weather Sets In
Suggestions as to Preparation of Skins

this country. Red fox pelts, OBJ
tainable in widely distributed areas
in the Northern States, should bring
from $40 to $50 each this season,
while the gray fox found in the
Southern States will bring from $1.50
to So a pelt.
An example of returns hat can be
secured from fur long
overlooked is found in the fact that
the people Of Oregon Melted approx
imately $4,000 from mole skins last
year, following trapping demonstra-
tons by representatives of the Biolo-
gical Survey of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. The DEM
onstrators showed that while millions
of European mole skins were used by
fur manufacturers in America before
the war, the skins of some American
moles, especially the large, common
variety of western Washington and
Oregon, are larger and have better
texture than those from Europe.
Farmers Bulletin S32, published by
the United States Department of
Agriculture, describes the best kinds
Of mole traps, how to set them, and
gives other information. The meth
DDS discussed are especially adapted
to the Pacific coast states, but with
notifications will apply to all locali-
ties where moles are found.
MUSKRATS STILL NUMEROUS
While minks, raccoons, and skunks
have became somewhat scarce in
certain localities, muskrats have not
diminished in numbers except in
places where the marshes have been
drained. These animals multiply
much more rapidly than many other
fur bearers, and because of their
aquatic retreats and their habits arc
better fitted to maintain their num-
bers under reasonable protection.
Muskrat pelts this season should
bring from rs cents to So each.
Though the price of colonial rabbit
skins is low-15 cents to So cents a
pound for dry cascd tHli this
source of income should no. b ever
looked by the trappcr-. ~l,r, ~ frc-
%quently a large number of the an
imals can be caught in tho courcc of
the winter. There is frequently ii
good market for the rabbit meat al
so. Among other fur bearing ami
mails more or less widely distributed
throughout the country are opossuhs,
badgers, and, for western regions,
coyotes and wolves.
If the farmer who temporarily
turns trapper Is to realize the best
prices for pelts, he must learn the
proper methods of handling them.
Most skins shauld be ceased" for the
market. A cased skin is n removed
from the carcass after Sitting the
hind legs but not the belly of the
animal, thereby leaving a tubular
shaped pelt. The skin is left with
the fur turned in, and dried on a
stretcher made of thin board shar-
pcned to a point, or of heavy gal
vanized wire.
The Biological Survey of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture furnishes
on application information regarding
the trapping of f%ur-bearing animals,
laws relating to the subject, and the
preparation of pelts. 1t also supplies
inquiries with Its Of buyers for va
rious kinds of pelts.
