MUSKRAT SEASON
TO OPEN SOON

The muskrat season will open
this month and the skins promise
to be as much in demand this
year as year ago when they
made a new high record mark for
quantity and price. Practically all
the men engaged in the culture Of
muskrats in Delaware and the
Eastern Shore of Maryland on
farms located along the Nantico oke
river have prepared for a big
year. In addition the number of
men and boys who have arranged
to trap muskrats this season in
the marshland districts is greatly

increased. Last year it was esti-
mated that not less than 200
trappers worked the lowlands
along the Nanticoke river and bay
districts. This year there will be
at least twice that number.
Muskrats are reported to be
numerous despite the enormous
catch of a year ago. They are
largely young rats, although the
sprinkling of the older ones is
sufficient to insure a liberal sup
ply of the heavier skins. Glove
manufacturers, it is understood
are largely responsible for the de
mand for muskrat skins.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS TO
INCREASE MEMBERSHIP
Give Resume of Work Ac-
complished by Order
Heretofore

A continent wide drive for
membership which has for it's aim
to obtain 100000 candidates in
the next two years is the an
nouncement of William LadeW,
Supreme Chancellor of the Order
Knights of Pythias. When this
quota of new members has been
obtained by the lodges in the
United States and Canada the
order will then have total mem
bership of 100000 men. Under
a plan outlined by the Supreme
Lodge at it's recent convention in
Minneapolis, Mimi, a survey will
be made in every community in
which lodge is located and sys-
tematic canvas instituted. The
campaign includes an outline OF
the Uniform Rank to attract the
younger men and to extend the
benefits of the Insurance Depart
ment as a means Of protection for
a man with a dependent family.
Among the constructive enact
ments of the Supreme Lodge are
the abolishment of the semi-an-
nual password and provisions for
an annual password, abolishing
the printed ritual and substitute
ing cipher ritual. Plans were
formed to nationalize the Pythian
Homes and place all homes for
aged Pythians and orphans Of
members now ownd by Grand
Domains under control of the
Supreme Body. Investigation was
also ordered into the feasibility
of publishing a national Pythian
magazine. The convention also
abolished the various forms of
cards issued to the membership
and provided that one form of
card be issued.
The Supreme Lodge also au'
thorized the return of the unex,
pended balance of the Pythian
War Relief Fund to the Grand
Domains making the subscrip'
tions. Nearly a quarter of mil
lion dollars left in this fund
raised during the war will &c
back to the Grand Lodges to be
used in furtherance of their plans
of development.
Reports made at the conven
ton showed that the order hat
made gain of $4,000 member
; during the last year, that th'
Pythian Sisters had membership
of over 100000 and that the Mill
! tary Department was maxim,

THE HARDINGS ARE
OLD FASHIONED FOLKS
Typical Americans, Hospitable
And Generous are the
President-Elect and
His Wife

While President-elect Harding
was not born in a log cabin as
some of the reporters would have
it at the opening of the campaign,
his lowly origin and rapid rise
from obscurity through sheer grit
and ability make an inspiring
story for American young man
hood.
It will be difficult for anyone to
really believe that the man and
woman whose names are on mil
lions of lips are just plain, ordi-
nary middle western Americans
who have spent their lives in a
small town struggling for place
among the substantial citizens of
the locality.
