HOW TO TRAP SUCCESSFULLY
Two Ways Of Taking the Wary Mink
Snare Into Which "Brer Fox"
May Fall.

If mink makes hole through a
snOwdrift he will use it again and q
trap set in it will catch him.
After cold weather sets in, when
setting In shallow water for mink,
choose a place where the current runs
swiftly and is not likely TO freeze up.
When trapping foxes use a No. 2
double spring trap. This style Of trap
is known as the fox trap" q
If you wish to he real foxy and
cunning yourself, try. setting three
traps, one in an old path without any
covering, and one on each side, skill
fully covered. The fox will give all
his attention to the uncovered trap
and by going around it may step into
one of those on the side.
1t is not much use to try to trap
foxes or any other such wary animal
without good scent.
An ear. of corn stuck in the mud
near trap makes an excellent bait
for coon. ~
One. of the best places to look for
coon signs is in a cornfeld.

Extrsvssanees INDUCED in by Japsn's
Newly Rich" Have Brought Forth
Bitter Condemnation.

Mr. Shioiri. Tokyo barrister. In
the Horltsu Shlmbun claw ,'Journal)
refers 20 some remarkable examples
OF the extravagance INDUCED In by
certain. "nnrikin" II is said that n
well-known mine owner In Kyushu
gave n dinner party in Tokyo recently
TO 10 guests ut 300 yen a head. The
caterer, somewhat at loss to know
how to "go the limit" provided a
"gelsha" for each guest, engaging all
the most expensive members of, the
profession who were available.
A Kobe "narikln" entertained some
guests to dinner ut Tokyo restaurant
the other day, the cost per head baing
100 yen. "funa.narikin," during q
stay at Ikao, ordered by telephone
from Tokyo restaurant two. dishes of
"unogidomburi" on condition that the
food should arrive hot after travelling
about 100 miles. The proprietor Of
the restaurant took the order, engaged
motorcar, fixed up a. 'bibachi' TO
keep the food hot, and delivered the
goods ut the mountain resort in two
hours and half, returning with 200
yen in his pocket
Mr.. Shioiri fears there will be many
more cases Of crazy waste of money
by "narillin," who, he says, are stlngy
enough in donating money for the re-
lief of the poor or sufferers from
calamities. "They are simply mad
men whose actions corrupt public man
ners and morals"
The Tokyo barrister thinks that just
as it was legal under the feudal sys-
TEN to conffscate the property of such
swollen-headed men, it would be nd
visable today to levy a heavy impost
upon them so that they may be pre-
vented from repeating such foolish ac-
tons as those referred TO-.

Clever Engineering Feat.

Bisecting long boats so that they
could be taken through the Welland
canal was considered an interesting
feat short time ago, but this has
been surpassed, according to the Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine. The Charles
r. Van Hise, a 10,000-ton boat, was
wanted for Atlantic service. 1t had a
50-foot beam, whereas the canal is only
A feet wide. The boat was cut In
two and each half was turned on its
side in order to be taken through the
locks. Floating in this position each
section cleared the lock sides by just
8 inches.

The proper temperature for various

living TOom should be 40 degrees, no
more. 1t should be occasionally aired
so that 1t does not become close, but
the doors should be kept closed into
the hall. The dining room and Kitchen
should be heated to 6j degrees. Most
kitchens rise higher than that. The
bedrooms should be heated not at all,

DRY to heavy traffic because in the
first place the proper material is
not available and in the second
place the majority are not willing
to do good honest work. | ask the
men who pretend to work" the
roads if this is not the fact
The editor of the Advocate knows
the people of Knox County are ready
for good roads, first, because they
voted a bond issue for good roads,
secondly, all sensible people who
have to travel over roads as much
as do farmers, surely want them as
BOOu as possible.
May the editor suggest that the
farmers of the section mentioned
get together at their school houses
or one central school house and
form a Farmers Good Roads Associ-
attn? Then appoint a committee to
find out from the Fiscal Court how
much money they can raise on the
zoe road tax. Put the matter up to
Mr.. Wiley, State Commissioner of
Roads, at Frankfort. and ask his ex-
pert advice, laying the situation be-
fore him frankly. The first step
must be made before any progress
can take place and the only people
who can agree to zoe tax for roads
are 1.-THE farmers themselves.
1t may be engineering assistance
might be given BY the. State, but
the editor, who has had. a hand in
road building himself, believes that
more money would be wasted by not
having competent engineers than
would be paid for their services.
The section mentioned has an ex-
cellent opportunity to start a move
ment that would spread all over the
county If put into effect and the edi-
tor can state from personal expert
ence, that much good work can be
done with the zoe tax.
How much can be done, however,
depends largely on what material ex
lists with which TO build roads with
. surface.

the betterment of conditions in Knox
