toward a fund for the casting of an
Armenian liberty bell. The bell will be
sent to Armenia to ring out, with Amer
lean aid, the usurping Turk.
ONCE KNOWN AS
LIBERTY BELL RUG.
Once the rug was known as the liberty
bell rug when it rested beneath that
historic emblem during the Panama
Pacific international exposition. Then,
later, the first LOO drafted men to leave
San Francisco for France passed over
it's exotic design. Still later It's owner
took 1t to Europe, where all the makers
of peace trod it daily and finally stood
upon it to sign the treaty.
It's latter day adventures, replete with
modern romance and history in the
making, are not the only tales or
memories it holds.
Z A romance Of the far east, or Persia,
is woven in its threads. More than a
hundred years ago 1t was celebrated as
the love rug.
A Frenchman Of royal descent had
gone to Persia, where the shah's beau
tiful daughter fell madly in love with
him. Her affection was not returned.
One night the debonair Frenchman went
a slumming and for his curiosity was
kidnapped. Bandits held him for a high
ransom.
USED RUG TO
SAVE LOVER.
At the inn where he was held the
daughter of the innkeeper also fell in
love with him. 1t was rhe who proposed

that they weave q marvellous rug and
send 1t to the shah, who would ransom
him the moment he saw the rug.
Her reason was twofold. It gave her
an opportunity to be near the man she
loved
Several years passed and the rug was
finally finished. 1t was sent to the shah
The Frenchman was as cold toward this
second daughter Of the east as toward
the. first.
The shah, struck by the beauty Of the
rug, Immediately sent an escort with the
necessary gold and ransomed the French
man. Now mysteriously, this French
man drops from the story. Some hint
that he feared the love Of the shah's
daughter might lead TO complications
for he had been installed in the palace
1t was then he disappeared.
Curious paradox, the rug became many
years later, the prayer rug of an English
nun. The shah's son had fallen in love
with the nun, and, believing In the pow
ers Of the Love Rug, he sent 1t to her
quarters.
There, each night, she prayed for de-
hverance from her plight and his atten-
TONS kneeling on the rug. The queen,
hearing Of her sons love, gave the nun
her freedom and permitted her to go to
England.
KULLUJIAN TRACES
FAMOUS CARPET.
The nun passed through Trebson, a
Persian port. where Kullujain's uncle
kept the only inn. KuIlujain. then but

Versailles the Big Four stood upon it, az
they bent over the table to sign the peaes
terms handed Germany.
And now the rug is about to close SIS
adventurous career. Soon it win be
placed in the nations capitol.
Few will know of the shah's daughter
and the Frenchman, of the prince and
the nun.
The peace rug, or the love rug, which
ever way one might have it, is Of creamy
background with pastel shades woven
into tapestry designs. Deeper browns
and blues predominant. Pink roses mean
love. cross with the pear-shaped fg-
ure representing the sun indicates the

faith of the Frenchman.

now.
'My personal opinion is that this de-
mand won't last more than another fur
season.
THE demand viii likely be great next
fall but the next year It will drop of, :"
ne said THE desire for furs will be
largely satisfied by the end Of next year, 3"
ne added, explaining that 1t was merely
guess and that no one can tell what
che American women win do.
NATURAL MUsKRAT
IN BIG DEMAND.
Natural muskrat, seal dyed muskrat
aid raccoon furs are the most popular
Because Of the huge demand for musk
rat furs, prices for raw skins have
Jumped from as low as cents each to
more than 81 each in fifteen years. Last
year prime northern muskrat skins sold
for S170. Already some fur dealers are
telling trappers they viii pay from ST.
TO $3.50 for raw skins this year.
AS result of high prices for raw skins
every farmer boy, every settler, and every
hunter in the north woods is getting
| ready to jump into the trapping game
this month with vim. One dealer point
ed out ali the things a back-woods boy
could buy if he trapped only fifty or 100
muskrat this fall and sold them at prices
offered.
But every boy can't trap wild animals
and ges away with it, experienced trap
pers pointed out 1t takes some one who
knows the game to get good skins, take
care of them, keep them intact and sell
them right.
There's been a lot of talk about fox
farming, rabbit farming, muskrat farm
ing, mink and otter farming and all
other kinds of farming. "City folks who
don't know the great out-of- doors would
naturally think the choicest furs would
be those bred and raised in captivity"
said buyer. "They figure that animals
selected, segregated, fed and cared for
should produce better fur. That may be
true in domestic stock, but exactly the
opposite is true when animals are bound
to deteriorate in captivity. They are
not in their natural state. But the most
important difference is the temperament
of the animal
Surprised? Yes, guess most folks are
surprised that the temper of an animal
largely decides the quality of It's fur.
You've seen dog or cat bristle up
fits back when it gets madf Well, all
wild animals die fighting. Their guard
fur is set. That's the most important
thing know Of in getting good fur.

IL years Of age. heard the story Of the
rug. His youthful imagination was fred
with the tale.
In 1897 he went TO England. On the
same ship was the then shah of Per-
STA, and the tale of the rug was re-
vived in his mind. When Kullujain ar
rived in England he traced the fortunes
of the rug through newspaper accounts,
which he preserves to this day, but the
rug had gotten into the hands of a
wealthy New Yorker. This owner car
ried the rug to Pasadena, Cal, and there,
on his death, Kullujain was finally able
to obtain It,
Then, during the closing day of the
war, the new owner took it to Europe
where it has gone through more mo-
mentous adventures At the palace of

that way.
TAME ANIMALS
PELTS POOR.
"Take tame animal. After long cap
tivity and peaceful life 1t loses that
guard fur, and as a result the pelt is
second or third grade, or no grade at all
When 1t Is chloroformed, shot or other

struggle-no guard fur tensed to make
the pelt perfect.
"The pelts Of wild animals are always
preferable. And they arc harder to get
and naturally, higher priced. But the
average woman wants the best fur OBJ

Getting back to the women's fancy
tastes-they're running riot, say the
dealers.
In the east, particularly, there is a
demaRd for higher priced furs Match
ing is the hardest thing fur manufac-
turers have to battle with. Garment
makers must match rat skins and coon
skins in order to sell a coat. Women
wont stand for blotched garments. To
match skins takes experts time and
searching. There has been a fad OF
"mottled' rat skin coats, one light and

mostly southern rat skins mixed with
northern rat skius-resorted to by man
ufacturers to reduce costs--since south
ern skins are lighter and not nearly as
good as northern rat skins. All the best
rat skins come from the northern reaches
OF Minnesota Montana, North Dakota
Wisconsin and Michigan Most of the
coon skins come from the southern
states.
Foreign furs are popular among the
very rich. Russian sable coats, for in
stance, sell for as high as $4,000. Each
skin-the size of mans two hands
lengthwise-costs from 5000 to $500, and
sometimes it takes from 500 to 1000
skins to make one coat.

for them any more. They are bending

taste Of the modern American woman and

ST. PAUL, MINI, Jan. S.-American
women HAYES gone mad over furs
This was the lInanim Gus expression Of
fur dealers in this big fur center
Dealers have been hard pressed to meet
the demand for furs this year and the
next season promises even greater de-
mand. Prices are higher, they say, but
that makes no difference to the women
they want the best they can get and
they've the money to ray for them.

There are more animals this winter

east, according to reports, 60 to 90 per
cent OF this years furs have already

PROSPERITY CAUSES
BIG DEMAND.
The unusual run on furs is due to
general prosperity throughout the couD-
try, dealers declared, and particularly
due to the prosperity Of the feminine
pocketbook.
"DOring the war and SINCE" said the
leading fur garment producer of the
country, women have earned more
money than ever before. In compari-
son with men the wages Of women have
