TOURISTS MUST WAIT
 TILL ALL OVERSEAS
 SOLDIERS GET BACK

There is a natural anxiety on the part of the general public eager to resume Tourist Travel which before 1917 was a well understood part of summer receration, as to how soon European tourist traffic will become normal.
 - The whole situation may be sum med up briefly in one statement. Transatlantic passenger traffic can not become normal until all the members of the American Expedition ary Force have been returned home from overseas. According to latest advices from the secretary of war it is the plan of the administration to have all American troops on this side of the Atlantic by the end of August or September of this year. This in

NEARLY s11.ooo.ooo IN FURs.

The largest fur sale in the history of the world closed at the 1nterna- tional Fur Exchange fin St. Louis on the 10th. The total sales for the two weeks was s10. 99s, ,S3s.
 Paris bought well in all of the high class furs, taking sealslcins, sables, silver and blue fox. marten. skunk and fisher. London took about the same: while Australia was an active bidder on many high-priced American fune.
 The United States Government re- ceived an advance of 30 per cent. upon its Alaska sealslfns. It is now an old tale how this valuable seal herd was practically decimated when 1t came under the care of Dr. Hugh M. Smith United States Commissioner of Fish cries at Washtn gton, and how he has rehabtlttated the herd until now 1t numbers almost 500. .OO0---about five NrneS as many as when he undertook l its supery-ision---and the seals have increased in size and in value each year since then.
 For the first time in the history of the fur trade the old bull seals that are known as wigs have been dressed and dyed; and placed on sale as fur sealslSins This name was adopted because when the bull seal passes certain Ee he grows a. thick coarse mane upon the head and shoulders that looks for all the world like the wig which the lord high chancellor of Great Britain wears upon his official occasions. Formerly those wigs were merely washed and dried and sold at q. couple of dollars apiece. mostly to Russia and Siberia Now those wigs have become a val uable possession. From being almost a throw in the sealtslxin bus mess. they sold two weeks ago for an average price of sS0 apiece.
 While the average sealslSin pelt taken from among the superhuous bachelor seals around three years old measures between 40 and 4S inches the wigs" measure from s5 to so inches each.
 There were some 10000 Alaska seal skins in this spring sale. and the trade said that they could have ab- sorbed at least 50 per cent. more with ease and profit. It>is expected that there will be some 15,0oo in tho Sep tember sale.
 The enormous price of S1 OPS a belt was paid at this sale for Russian sa- ole. the lot of ten matched skins bringing s1o,250. Connoisseurs in sa-

bles said that they were positively the finest that they had ever seen or han dled
 Another startling advance in price was when a New York dealer paid $2lO for marten. CT Hudson Bay sable, as they are known to the woman who wears them.
 Other sensational increases in value during the past two weeks were when fitch registered an--advance of 100 per cent. Be it noted that this fitch came from the sunny slopes of the French Pyrenees. But from those some sun ny mountain slopes---they are high enough to have perpetual snow upon their upper reaches---come some very fine stone marten, the fitch already mentioned, and some foxes.
 Ringtail cats were considered q 125 per cent. better buy now than three months ago. Now, this is not tabby cat. nor a house cat, nor yet @. wild cat. It is a wild animal. about the size of a mink, and with tail about as long as the body, well marked with rings.
 Australian fox, wallaby, wombat, ringtail opossum, and Australian opossum all sold at advanced prices, ranging from 10 per cent. for the fox to 50 per cent. for the ringtail opus
  Han opossum.
 For long Australia has debated whether the Australian rabbits were an asset or a liability. With the ship ment of 50,O00 pounds Of New Zea- land and 500. GOO pounds of Australian rabbit to the St. Louis market, and receipt of a 15 per cent. advance over previous prices received here, there would seem but one answer to that question: The Australian rabbit skin makes a good felt. which our own American bunny fails to do. Fur thermore, the Australian rabbit is the parent origin of several of the so- called imitation furs; that is, a. cheap fur so treated, it takes on a semblance (albeit 1t oftentimes but a faint sem blance) of some more expensive pelt.
 A surprisingly large crowd assem- bled, the practically 1000. 900 nuskrats being the magnet. Days selling opened with 1900 badger, which went rapidly at s12,6s0. A very brisk bus mess was done "n 120 900 civets. In short order they changed owners to the tune of e1,es9. Then came on the muskrats. Bidding was very strong on the large. extra large and Eastern "rats,'' as they are termed in the trade. Top price was g the pelt for some fancy, extra large spring rats. Extra large springs ranged from s2 to s2.25. Fall and winter Mime

THE JOY OF GARDENING

When the seed begins to break through the ground and you realize after a long wait that something is going to grow in your garden. it's then that you begin to get some satis- faction and joy from your work.
 The weather so far has not been very induciVe for starting seeds. The warm weather now will bring them along fast and probably make up for the loss in time. If the weather has discouraged you from planting so far, don't delay any longer. Seeds that are planted now have lots of good growing weather ahead of them and will mature into a fine garden.
 Here you can select the seed of any vegetable you wish to grow.

 THROUGHOUT TOKYO
Food Prices With Clothing and
 Rent Soaring High

Tokio, Aug. 20, Correspondence of The Associated Press )-Soaring prices for food and clothing as we'll as house-rent show no diminution in Ja- ran. The cost of living, according to the Yorodzu, has increased ten- fold since 1887 while wages have ad- vanced only four-fold. AS against 36 yen a koku, for instance during the rice riots of August, last year, the price of rice has now risen to 56 yen a koku Give bushels) and a grave food crisis has resulted.
 Japan is a country of large families and with rice costing about S2S for every five bushels the head of a family has to do some hard think ing. Other food necessities, especial ly sugar, which Japanese use con- cidera bly,, have risen in proportion to rice. It is the great middle class of Japan, the people working on small salaries, which is raising the great est cry.
 Although wealth has increased as a result of the war the real wealth of the masses has decrea sed and the people of Japan are rela lively poor. At the same time national tastes have changed and the Spartan simplicity of olden times is no longer endured.
 Low salaries in public services have so depleted the personnel that gov- ernment institutions like the post of flee, telegraphs, police force and sc ools are all undermanned. Indus trial companies, however, are paying dividends of from 50 to 100 per cent anu distributing big bonuses, lands and rents are rising in value and the farmer is hoarding his rice until he has pushed the market to it's highest notch.
 Tho distress of today is chiefly felt by the law-abiding class of the na- ton. No riots have occurred like last year. The press generally planes the government for not finding suitable rem edy. 'The situation calls for urgent action," writes the editor of the Kokumin. Some people are about to famish. The continued ad- vance in prices has developed a kind If reign of terror"
 If it is impossible" says the Tor C.dzu, Ito bring down the price of rice and other necessities, the government must devise means of increasing in comes. Otherwise peace and order in society cannot be maintained and the very foundation of the nation will Ee endangered.'

EQUINIC HERO WINS
 IN BRITISH RACES
"b 9O' Took Part in All the Big Cam paigns of the War-Ovner Won
 D. s. C. With Charger.

London, Sept. 24.-A gallant veter- an Of the great war took part in the recent Aldershot horse show and re- ceived the honors his long and faith ful service merited.
 "B 3O," he was known on the books of his army command, entered the military service in the Dragoon Guards in 1912, and was among the first to cross the Channel with the "Old Contemptibles'' in 1914. After carrying Lieutenant Colonel W. o. Winweed through the retreat from Mons, "B 30" took part in every ac- tion on the western front in which cavalry was engaged including the battles of the Marne, Ypres, Loos, the Somme, Cambrai, Gouzeacourt and Arras.
 He is credited with being the first horse to jump the Hindenburg line after the infantry went over and took two first prizes in cavalry horse shows held in Flanders. He was wounded several times, and returned to England last April with Colonel Wirwood who had ridden him throughout the war and who brought home with him the Distinguished Service Order for gallantry in the field.
