LAWYERS GO ON STRIKE

OF the many strange strikes in
the world since striking became popu-
Tar, one of the most peculiar was
the strike of the lawyers at Piacen-
"a, city near Milan. The attorneys
united and refused to plead any more
cases. 1t was not a demand for
wages, since they did not receive
wages, but a protest against the gov
eminent for reducing the number Of
judges until the courts were over
crowded and cases had to be post
poned indefinitely. 1t was one
strike that could be readily settled

FUR COAT FARM ~
IS GIN A BOOM
Each "Employe" Guarded
For He's Worth a Thou
sand Or So

Winnipeg, Nov. 19.-Listen, girlsl
Five hundred potential fur coats are
walking around up here.
They're silver black foxes, being
reared for their fur on the Canada
West silver Black Fox Ranch near
here.
And here's tip: The ranch pro-
prietors say their fox farming has
been so successful that before long
fox fur will be so cheap that every
body will have fur coats.
Meanwhile here's how the ranch
ers treat the fur coats while they're
still alive:
Every fox family has two houses
to live in, despite the house short
age. That's because they like to
move often. The two houses are set
in an individual pen rs by 40 feet.
And eats Their menu is changed
every day. For breakfast they have
shredded wheat or oatmeal or rice
with cream. For dinner pigeons or
chickens or eggs.
And if they banker for their old
wild life, the keepers give them bit
of raw meat with warm blood on it.
Or little meat with the hide on to
keep them from biting off the tips !
of their tails, as they do sometimes. |
And every fox has an individual
set of dishes and drinking utensils. |
They're washed after every meal or
the fox refuses to eat from them. The
same men are sent around to feed
the foxes every day, because they're
afraid of strangers. Visitors are. rare
ly admitted.
A lot of fuss to make over bunch
of foxes, isn't it? But
There isn't fox on the farm who
couldn't skin himself to the tune of
$1,000 or more. Sometimes a sin
gle animal sells for S12, One lit
ter of cubs at the ranch is worth $780, ,
600.
Hight here, girls, let the ranch
proprietors tell you how to guard 9
against being bunkoed in buying sill
yer black fox furs. They say:
''The silver in the fur isn't white
hairs. All the hairs are black at the
tip, then band of silver, then black +,
TO the roots. This silver band makes 7
imitation impossible"
