DR.. j. D. McAlister, superintendent
OF the Tennessee Anti-Saloon League,
and prominent in the battles against
the liquor traffic for many years,
spoke to a capacity audience at the
First Presbyterian church Sunday
night in the interest of the work of
that great moral agency. The audi
ence completely filled the church and
gave the speaker the closest attention.
Its approval of the cause which he
presented with such force and elo-
quence was manifested in the large
number of subscriptions made for the
support Of the work.
DIR. McAlister's speech was a broad
and sane presentation of the issue. He
defined the attitude of the Anti-Sa-

There seemed to be nothing in fur coats
for less thar IL couple of thousand dol
lars i'll that store so he started out.
Then he bethought himself of his old
~coonskin and the comfort it had given

He turned back into the store and
asked to be shown u good coonskin coat.
The clerk fetched IL couple and he tried
one ON. This one will do" he said.
How much is it? -
Five hundred dollars replied the
clerk, cheerfully.
The would-be purchaser DOTTED the
coat hurriedly and left the store. He
went to his hotel and sent the following
message to his office manager at home !:
Get cOonskin coat hanging in the
woodshed at my house and put it in

You may think that's a joke about
the price of coonskin coats 1t said
on his return, but l took the trouble
to find IL why they are so high.
Twenty-Five years ago nobody but cab
men II motormen on streetcars or far
mers would be seen in n coonskin coat.
In those days fur traders paid trap
pers ten cents apiece for coonskins and
you could buy a good coat for SO.
with the coming of the automobile
the raccoon climbed steadily up the so
ciul ladder. A coonskin coat became a
favorite with motorists of both sexes.
By 1914 500 was paid for Il good coat
and the trappers were getting 10 cents
apiece for the pelts.
This winter the lowly raccoon is
crowding the lordly seal and sable.
Merchants are bidding $400 and $500 at
wholesale for the same coats they sold
for 800 five a e Fur buyers
are offering trappers $40 to $15 apiece
for prime skins.
"As it takes 20 to % skins to make IL
coat, and as the fur cutters are demand

rHE TALE OF A COoNsKIN COAT.
Pelts Worth 10 cents Each Twenty
Years Ago Are Now Worth
Ten Dollars Each.

The great advance in the value of all
furs during the past few years is well
illustrated by the story of ii western
man who relates his experience in
shopping about furrierS' establishments
in Boston in an attempt to buy him
self IL good fur coat.
The man relates that for many years
from an aid coonSkin coat which he
Il purchased in Boston 20 years ago
for so and brought west with him.
Having amassed a comfortable for
tune. he lately decided to take ii we'll
earned vacation and visit his native
state. Back i'll Boston the weather
was chilly and he thought of his coon
skin coat back in Wyoming. He recall
ed, too. that it was pretty badly worn
Il torn in many places. He made up
his mine to blow himself for IL new fur
coat, and this time. he thought. he
would get something II little better than
cuUn skin. as befitted IA man in his
station of life.
He hied himself to u furrier and gaZ-
ed through the windows at some nand-
some mems coats in various furs. one
mink flr garment caught his eye. He
entered the store and inquired the
price. ''Twenty-two hundred dollars

eye, adding. that coat is not very well
matched up, and that's why we are
selling it cheap"

He added that. before his trip east, if
he had N to a dealer and been asked
to pay $500 for II coon skin coat he
would have been hard to persuade that
the dealer was not p~rofiteering.

WAR INSURANCE ACT AMENDED.
Congressman Mondell Brings About
Changes Which viii Result i'm
Benefit to Wy0mingites.

AS II result of amendments made to
about through the influence of Con
gresham Mondell, n number of worthy
Wyoming people will soon receive fl
nancial benefits to which they are en-
titled but which were denied them UNI
der the terms of the original War Risk
Act.
Mr. Mondell's attention was called
to the need for amendments to the War
Risk Act when the case of Martin
Sands johnson of Rawlins was brought
to his attention. This young man en-
tered the service and died in line of
duty. He had executed an insurance
policy in favor of Mrs. ChaS. Johnson
of Rawlins, who had raised him from
infancy, but who had never legally
adopted him. Being his foster mother,
Mrs. Johnson's claim for insurance was
denied, but under the provisions of the
amendment above referred to she will
now be paid the money.
Another case of the same nature will
permit the payment of insurance to
Mrs. Robert j. Houston of Thermopolis,
whose foster son, Daniel J. Lallie, died
in line of duty.
Another beneficiary from a second
amendment to the War Risk Act. secur-
ed by Mr.. MOndell. is Mrs. May Davis
of Gillette. Mrs. Davis son was passed
by the local draft board and ordered
to Moscow. Idaho, for induction into
the service. Enroute he contracted the
flu and died before his actual Undue
ton a completed. Under the origi-
nal War Risk Act Mrs. Davis was de-
MED compensation which will now be
paid to her.
With the idea that there may be 9TH
err cases similar to the above. Mr.. Mon
dell will be glad to heal from anyone
who can inform him of other cases
likely to come within the provisions of
the amendments above referred to.
