n South St. Paul, Mimi, November
20, 1920:-The feature Of last week S
live stock trade was the continued
rushing of hogs to market. The
avalanche of hogs numbering more
than a half million at the seven prin-
cipal markets forced prices to the
lowest levels for nearly four years.
Average cost of packers and shippers
droves fell to 1926 on Wednesday,
with top hogs at $3.50. After the
recess, lighter receipts bolstered the
market, and top hogs sold at $9.40 at
the close, with bulk at $3.50 to $9.40,
and small lots Of heavy packing hogs
at $a.75 to $500. The weeks loss
amounted to about $1.75 per cwt.
The general consumption Of poultry
on Thanksgiving hurt the market for
dressed lamb and mutton, and live
prices broke badly, closing last week
unevenly 25c to $1.00 lower, with feed
ing classes showing the most loss.
Best fat lambs closed at $1,000, and
best fat ewes at $4.00.
z The liberal run Of cattle last Monday
forced prices around 25c lower. The
market recovered before Thanksgiving
wiping out all of the loss, and the

POISON WILD RABBITS
SANS DANGER TO DOGS
William Pfaender, Jr., Has Novel
Method Of Getting Rid of 4
Gnawing Pests.

Wild rabbits are doing great deal
of damage to fruit trees in this vicinity
which will increase as colder weather
sets in. A novel way OF Kidding this
pest with poison that will not kill
dogs that eat the rabbit carcasses, is
told by William Pfaender, Jr., Of the
Pioneer Nursery acre, as follows:
One method OF doing away with
wild rabbits is to poison them with the
following: One part sulphur Of
strychnine, one-third Of one part of
.borax, one part OF white syrup and 10
parts Of water. apple twigs, the buds
of which have previously been an
nointed with this solution, are stuck
into the ground or snow in many
places, where the rabbits will find and
eat them. 1t will not harm dog to
devour rabbit that has been poisoned
in this manner.
Mr.. Pfaender has used this solution
at the Pioneer Nursery and states that
he found no less than six dead rabbits
one morning, near some trees that he
had heeled in. He says that the above
is an inexpensive and effective way of
getting rid of these gnawing pests.

FIRE OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN
CAUSES HEAVY LOSS TO
sTORK. BROTHERS.
SEVERAL HUNDRED CHICKENS
AND TONS OF. FEATHERS
ARE DESTROYED.

Several hundred chickens, several
tons of feathers, Ford motor truck,
a Ford roadster and about / 900 egg
cases constitute the bulk of the
personal property loss sustained by
the well-known local produce firm of
Stork Brothers, when fire badly Quilted
their large poultry house, adjoining
their massive brick main building at
the corner of German and First South
streets, early Monday morning. The
total loss will be increased consider
|sably due to damage done to the
structure. $
About 1000 Chickens Saved.
rs The fire originated near the junction
of the poultry house and the main
building and the poultry that was
destroyed was confined in large batter
les Of coops in that part Of the struct-
ure. The partition, which divides
the lower floor of the poultry house
into the two large poultry storage
roomsy prevented the dense smoke
from penetrating to the rear room,
thus saving about 1000 chickens that
were confined there. AS a further
means of rescuing these feathery
prisoners, the window panes were
shattered to admit fresh air while the
fire was in progress. "a
Smells Smoke Up Town.
Chief Henry Engel Of the New Ulm
Fire Department, smelt the smoke
from the smouldering fire when still
up town on his way down to the New
ulm Roller Mill, where ne is employed
as head miller, with his son, Jacob
Engel, at $50 a. m. When they
reached the poultry house, both gentle
men made an investigation and dis
covered the insipient blaze and Jacob
turned in an alarm. Within few
minutes, the fire laddies who sleep in
the apartments at the fire station in
the municipal building arrived at the
scene with the fire truck and i'm
mediately began the difficult battle
with the flames. Other fire COM
panies arrived promptly and soon four
streams of water were plying on the
burning building. The struggle con-
tinued unabated until after 10 a. m.
Difficult Fire Fighting.
The location Of the blaze made fire
fighting extremely difficult, and the
dense smoke precluded entering the
structure for some time. The flames
were confined to the interior OF the
building, however, and were kept from
endangering the big main structure.
The origin of the fire is, unknown,
but it is surmised that defective
electric light wires may have caused
the blaze.
Loss Several Thousand Dollars.
The actual loss Of property as a re-
suit Of the fire will aggregate several
thousand dollars, but the exact figures
will not be known until some time
today, after the insurance adiuster
has held an investigation and examined
the property. He was expected to
arrive here last evening. Coming, as
it did, when the busy pre-holiday
season was about to begin, the loss of
business entailed by the confagration
| is considerable. The property loss
is fully covered by insurance.

San Antonio, Tex-Carranza and q few of his principal !ieutenants h. stigated and directed the long series of raids on American properties that began along the Rio Grande early in 1915. according to documentary evi- dence placed before the Senate sub committee Investigating the Mexican situation.
 This was supported by testimony by John A. Walls the district attorney at Brownsville. Tex; l.. K. Barnes, in charge of the United States army in telligence work along the border dur ing the war, and other witnesses.
 The committee obtained from them and from documentary evidence infor- nation tending to show that not only were the highest Mexican officials cognizant of the program of raidng parties which was carried out under the provisions of the plan of San Diego but that as late as June, 1915, they were still giving encouragement to and aiding those who participated in those raids in plans inimical to the United States.
 T. B. Altendorf, a Pole. who was n the intelligence service of the Ameri- can army during the war and who was largely responsible for the arrest of the German spy Witstke, now pris- oner at Fort Sam Houston, Tex, was placed on the witness stand long enough to identify Mario Mendex, the director of telegraphs in Mexico, as one of those whom Minister von Eek hardt kept on his payroll during the war.

ONE PER CENT TAX ON "kLL
 MERCHANDISE SOLD" URGED

Washington.-Subs of peg, cent tax on all merchandise sold for consumption" for the existing war and excess profits, insurance, soft drinks. excise and stamp taxes. was proposed in a bill introduced by Representative Bacharach, Republican, of New Jersey, Although the measure was said to have received the informal approval of several members of the House Ways and Means Committee as the basis of revision of the revenue laws, no agree ment, however, has been made for committee consideration.
 The l per cent tax, to be paid by the consumer, would apply to all pur- chases ranging from 50 cents to $500, and be increased to per cent for purchases over $500. In addition, the one-half of 1 per cent on all real es- tate sales and of l per cent on sales of raw materials. such as products of mines, wood lands, waters and other natural resources.
 Representative Bacharach estimated that his bill would raise three or four billion dollars of revenue annually and repeal taxes amounting to about two billions.

Artificial Scents.

The great bulk of perfumes are chemical productions. The Wall Street Journal says the commercial problem Is whether the American perfumer of the future is to be an artisan or an artist. Shall he deal with the fragrance of flowers or chemical odors and scents? The idea of the layinan is that the cOsmic chemist seeks the odor of flowers; but as a matter of fact synthetic chemistry not only crowns his work with the crushed oil of roses, viOlets and jessamine, but seeks to rival the fragrance of flowers with superior scents originating wholly within the laboratory and trade marked as such.
