A New Book One Hundred per cent American"
Come and try on a purple hat.
Edited by Arnon L. Squiers

. A Foreword by Theodore Roosevelt
 This is collection of addresses made by famous patriotic speakers of all shades of political belief. They were delivered before the Republican Club of New York during the winter and spring of 1918 and are of deep his torical significance. These speeches were not confined to Republicans, for many distinguished Democrats were heard as were visiting foreigners who brought first hand accounts from the battle front. It is wonderful sum- mary of war work, valuable and in teresting.

 Her earthly harp laid down To sing new songs in glory
 And wear a starry crown. But still, her sweet words echo, In countless hearts and lives, We miss her winsome presence, But o, her love survives. Then lay the summer pansies,
 Upon our Fanny's grave, For thoughts" of fond remembrance Of all she freely gave, And bring the greens of winter To mutely testify, That she though dead, still speaketh," Her influence cannot die o, beautiful Kings daughter,
 For her the ioybells ring, Triumphantly she entered,
 The palace of the King. o, there she sees the sp'endor,
 That golden streets illume, Where cloudless day is shining, And flowers immortal bloom. Philadelphia, Feb. 12, 1919.

WOMAN RECEIVED $85,OO0 GOAT
 FOR CHRISTMAS

1 New York, Dec. 26.-An American woman, the wife, sister, mother, o1 { daughter of 8 postwar Croesus Cher identity is the secret of big Brook . 1yn furrier( received on Christmas
 morning an sS5, 1000 Russian sable
 coat. It was a kind of dolman, a
 garment of rare 1oveIiness consist ing of 93 skins from animals trapped
 ill the interior of the Burgestn region
 of wild Siberia.
 This extraordinary price, paid for q luxury weighing a little more than five pounds, was at the rate of s1,- 062 an ounce. The coat was valued approximately 52 times it's weight in gold. And yet, this Brooklyn firm. which has trading posts in Alaska, Russia and other cold and forbidding g regions of the world, says that sables th1s year are mot the most expen- sive furs," An advance of 50 to 75 per cent. has been made in these gifts for the rich since last Spring.
 The palm for the highest priced furs, however, must be awarded to the finest natural black foxes which, at present, are bringing $7,500 a pair. enough to make a "set'' consisting of scarf or neckpiece and huff. Last year the price was $5,O00, Natu- l,O to $6,000 8 pair and it was said that there has been a bigger demand for them this Winter than ever before. The numerous fox ranches" a new industry which sprang from a sue cessful breeding establishment on Prince Edward Island, it was stated, had no effect on the market price of the wild belts.
 J. W. Argenbright, local fur i'm porter with a firm nearly a century old, explained that the war had helped to make America "the great est fur producing country in the world, both for variety, quality and dressing" He said that while there was duty of 50 per cent on rnanu- factured furs and 35 per cent, on dressed skins, at present there is no duty on raw belts entering the Unit ed States and this enabled New York to equal if not surpass Paris and other European fur centres. Fur prices were as high, he said, if not higher, abroad.
 MT. Argenbright said the sea ot- ter, of which not more than 15 had been marketed throughout the world the past year, is perhaps the rarest fur. It Is coarser and heavier than sable or fox, a peIt weighs about ten pounds and would bring about $5,000. It is used for collars. cuffs or capes. In color it is a dark brown. tnged with silver
 The only "cheap" furs in the New York retail market at present, it was said, are Russian pony and Austra- Han coney Cor rabbtt). Coats of these materials, trimmed in beaver or nu- tr1a, are selling for from $500 to S40O, A year ago they brought half the money. The abundance of money in America, another dealer pointed out, had stimulated a revival in Hud- son Bay and Alaska seal. Goats Of this fur which, some years ago could De purchased for $500 to s4oo, are now bringing $85o to $1,0o0.
