RABBIT INDUSTRY
SHOWS BIG GAIN
|NPET STOCK SHOW
Many Will Commence Rabbit
Business This Year, Says
Dwight Magers

Rabbit growing has come to Knox
county TO stay. One of the most i'm
pressive features OF the pet stock
and poultry show here last week was
the exhibit of fine rabbits. Every
known breed, from the original Bel
GUM hare to the modern Flemish
Giant and the up-to-date pet in the
beautiful, long haired, fleecy White
Angora, were present at the show.
And one may be sure that never a
laddie passed without lingering in
front of one or two rabbit pens and
nursing n longing to become an own
er of a fine pen of the beauties.
This comparatively new industry
was investigated pretty thoroughly
throughout the week by many of the
older people, and it is the interest
displayed by the dads and mothers
In the growing of rabbits that has
filled the promoters with spirit for
pushing their work throughout the
coming year. Exhibitors have made
many contracts for the sale of first
class stock, and have received many
applications for membership in the
association the coming year
Dwight Magera, one OF the fore
most rabbit men in the county, when
asked about the future of the busi-
ness commercially, stated that there
was no business in the county or in
this part of the country that offered
attempting it went at the work with
business methods.
II can sell every pound of rabbit |
have al 30 cents a pound. II desired
mand all over the country, and n
market can be found In any city. The
way to run this business is to get the
rabbits aud then canvass your near
eat market for regular customers In
the best hotels and restaurants. Tell
them what You have to offer and how
often you can supply their wants.
Get their contracts and you are set"
said Mr.. Magers
Rabbits properly grown are ready
for tho market at the end OF four to
eight months. and they will average
from five to seven and half pounds
apiece. And when one considers that
the market Is usually higher than
the chicken market, II Is all together
first class proposition, and not to be
winked at by any wise person. Be-
sides the cost of preparing rabbits
for the market is only about half the
cost of the upkeep OF chickens"
People looking for new hobby or
new vocation should give the rab-
bit proposition careful consideration.
Aside from its attractive commercial
opportunities there Is the pleasure OF
taking the finest of your property to
the shows and winning prizes. There
IL certain thrill about winning n
ribbon which cannot be found in any
other place than In competitive en-.
terpriao of this sort
Among the prominent rabbit grow

pion and Samuel Atherton. Any Of
these men will be glad to initiate you
into the secrets OF their hobby and
put you IN the way of making some
aide money, aud n little speck of
fame In the annual Knox county pet
stock and poultry show

This Letter Came from:
THE NATIONAL COAT, SUIT AND
SKIRT MANUFACTURERS ASSN,
Cleveland Ohio

Despite all efforts to control the rising cost
of outer garments, we are now facing season
where every component part in the manufacture
of coats and suits has experienced another en-
phatic increase in price.
Men of experience engaged in the manufac-
tllre Of the various materials used in our indus
try are sincere in their belief that the crest of
high prices has not been reached and that with
the present high prices of raw material and la
Dor, the next twelve months will find no relief.
In fact the outlook for Fall 1920 is for still fur
ther advance. Labor in the garment industry
demands for higher pay which amounts to $3.50
and shorter hours which adds another cost to
production of 1596.
Here is comparative list of prices for stand
ard materials used for Spring 1919, and the
same materials purchased for Spring 1920
Standard Serges have 4O9
Standard Tricones have advanced 800.
Standard POplns have advanced 3O9o.
An dali other materials have advanced more.

Jack Pickford in "A Double
 Dyed DeceiUer" af the Lyric

town, Buenas Tierras. the Kid meets the American Consul Thacker who is usually intoxicated, and always contemplating the most advisable means of footing the safe of Senor Urique, wealthy Castilian, who is known to keep large sums ot money in safe in his mansion.
 The Llando Kid appears to be just the necessary factor to accomplish his plan and Thacker places the proposition before the Kid" who, more for the adventure than the fruits of the diabolical scheme consents to impersonate the long lost son of the Urique family whom the par ents pray will always return to them
 Posing as Don Francisco Urique the 'Kid' is accepted, with rapturous af- lection, by his supposed mother and father into tbeir home.
 The "kid' never had a mother, within his recollection, and all the little finer things which only a mother can provide to make her son happy, fell to the for tune of the Kid" He lived in his newly found paradise for three weeks. until Thacker reminded him that he was in the Urique home to rifle the safe, not to wear good clothes, and display the jewelry which his overjoyed father presented him.
 The Llano Kid furnishes a diet of hu- mor pathos and thrills In the transi- ton from paper to celluloid O. Henry's masterful treatment of gripping situa- tions is decidedly enhanced in this latest Goldwyn production.

BERMUDA PLANNING
 BIG CELEBRATION
Will Observe 3O0th Anniversary When Prince of Wales Pays
 His Visit
By Associated Press

Hamilton, Bermuda. May 27.-Bermuda the oldest remaining British planta- tion," is preparing to celebrate it's ter centenary this autumn, for which pur- pose 2,O00 have been appropriated Since the Prince of Wales announced the other day that he meant to pay a call on his loyal subjects they hit on the scheme of combining two festive occasions and having one grand affair on October [, when the Renown, with the heir to the throne aboard, is to cast anchor here.
 It was August 1, 1920 that the Colonial parliament held it's first sitting but as the royal engagements cannot very well be altered, it was thouhgt wise to set back the gala date.
 For nearly 300 years the business of governing this little outpost of the em- pire has gone on under the same forms without material change It was but natural that the 2O,000 inhaibtans of this twenty square miles of coral rock should wish to honor their aged constitution.
 Originally founded by a shipwrecked company under Sir George Somers, des- tined for Virginia in 1909, the islands have remained continuously under Brit ish rule.
 Revenues are raised chiefly from tariff duties. No land taxes are levied by the colony There is a very light tax on realty in the parishes and the proceeds are used for maintenance of the poor
 There are no divorce laws in Bermuda,

 Miss Hawley's rise to stardom has been meteoric, but well deserved, never theless Her work in leading roles in Paramount-Arteraft pictures has won her following, and she is now ranked high among the real geniuses of screen drama.
 Miss Hawley's beauty and youthful charm were never seen to better ad- vantage than as the Miss Hobbs who set out to break her town up into groups one of men and one of women.
 The little feminine group was com posed of one reformer, one disillusioned bride, and one defiant fiancee, who has the Amalgamated Order of Man Haters.
 The mems group consisted of one for lorn and deserted bridegroom, one dis consulate and rejected fiance, and one jovial and extremely eligible bachelor whose sense of humor had thus far so filled his life with amusing adventures that women had failed to interest him.
 Said the reformer and Chief Man Hater to her companions: My dears, you are we'll rid of the hateful brutes and now we shall be comfortable and happy and consider some worthwhile careers"
 And over .on. the other side of the town,

CHINESE HOPING
 TO GET TOGETHER
Outlook Brighter for Formation of Parliament From the North
 and South

Shanghai, May H-Chinese officials here are looking forward hopefully to the possibility of organizing a united parliament to include representatives of borth north and south China. which un- til now have been in conflict
 Their belief that the long separation of the north from the south was about to be united and the disputes of the two parliaments to be composed was strengthened by the revolt led by Wu Ting Franz, finance minister of the southern government and chairman of it's administrative council. Dr. Wu was the leader of the original parliamentary revolt that divided the notrh from the south in China three years ago. He has been in Shanghai for some months. hav- ing joined here two other members Of the southern administrative council, Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Tang Shao-yi,
 Dr. Wu said he had left Canton be- cause he could no longer trust the men he had to work with there He de- clared that the government at Canton was a thing of the past and that the leaders of the southern faction intended tc help organize a new united paria- ment possibly in Shanghair, to draft a constitution for all China and to for. mulate a policy to restore internal peace. Dr. Wu was followed from Canton to Shanghai by about 100 members of the
 
 it's headquarters there>
 The southern parliament was the old Chinese parliament which existed before hos..lities opened between the north and south and it included more than 35J members.
 With the arrival of Dr. Wu, three members of the administrative council of the southern parliament are in Shang bai, and Dr. Wu has announced that General Frang Chi-yao, another member of the council. is in sympathy with the faction now in Shanghai. which would give them majority of the council only three members of which remained in Canton.
 Dr. Sun Yat-sen. who has been carry ing forward negotiations with the lead CTS of the Peking government, has an- nounced that an agreement has been reached for joint action by representa- tives of the north and south.

in the forlorn dove-cote of the erswhile happy NewlyWeds, the jovial bachelor was cheering the Tagging spirits of the deserted males by calmly asserting that they needn't worry-that women are easy to tame-pooh-just make love to em, and they become doeile at once.
 But you don't know this reformer, this man-hater, this feminine disturber or other peoples love affairs the deserted man assured the gay bachelor.
 ''Man-hater, is she?" scoffed the bach elor imperturbably. ''Pooh-that kind is especially easy to tame. Why, I'll wager I can kiss her within month.
 How he wins his bet and Miss Hoobs changes her mind brings the story to a delightful conclusion.

and only one breach of promise case was ever tried here. Most of the cases on the calander involve bicycle stealing, assault, petty theft; there is little se- rious crime, though in a region where everyone rides wheel, the theft of bicycle is regarded somewhat as horse stealing was in the west a few years ago.
 There are old-timers here who have never set eyes on train or trolley car: but of late they have had the sat isfacton of seeing flying boats circling through the air.
 Innovations of any kind are apt to be looked on with some suspicion The majority is conservative and that is perhaps why so much sentiment is at- tached to the coming celebatron of the 30e-year-old constitution.
