Answer--Brazil has, so far as we can
discover. not repudiated her debts at
any time in the past, but she has at
times suspended the sinking fund pro-
vision of some of her bond issues. and
has deferred payment of interest on
certain issues at certain times in the
past. As q matter of of opinion, we
are inclined to agree with you that
both Argentine and Chile bonds will be
likely to increase in market values in
the future, but we believe that is also
true of the Canadian government is
sues, which have better credit rating.

No Chance for Death
Via Gas Route Now

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Hencefor-
ward nobody but a hermit with a bad
cold in the head will be able to
commit suicide via the gas route, ac-
cording to officials of the bureau of
mines.
The bureau recently announced
the perfection of a system of mixing
chemicals with Illuminating gas in
such a manner that leakages can be
smelled "all over the house" Ex-
periments have been successfully
carried out with several different
kinds Of odors, including banana,
wintergreen and grain alcohol.
Two other concoctions result in
odors described as "sumpCin' terri
BILE. Ancient eggs are said to be
mild in comparison. This odor, the
experts believe, is sufficient to dis
courage any would-be suicide who is
worth the saving.
The discovery is expected to make
accidental asphyxiation impossible
and will also go long way toward
preventing destruction of property
by gas explosions.

MORELAND RABBIT DRIVE

Thursday was not a good day for
rabbit drives, there being drizzling
rain part of the day and the drive
arranged for the country west OF
Moreland was not so big a success
as it would have been, had the
weather been fair. The snow had
melted off a good deal and it was
easy for the rabbits to make high
speed. "
Six or seven hundred rabbits were
rounded up and when they were
brought down to close quarters in a
circle a few hundred feet across,
some fellow sitting in an automobile
with a couple of ladies, opened fire
on the rabbits with an automatic
shot gun and the bombardment STAN
peded them so it was impossible to
do anything with them. Up to the
time the firing commenced they had
them headed into the corral very
nicely. This unexpected turn of af-
fairs spoiled the round up and not
more than half of them were driven
into the corral.
The stranger fixed matters quite
easily. He did not help to round up
the rabbits at all and then disar-
ranged all their plans with his al
legged sport. Some of the men who
had participated in the drive went
to him ard notified him that here
after he was to stay away from all
rabbit drives that they had anything
to do with and hut for the nrasenca
of the ladies, who were with him,
they would have said considerable
more.

IDAHO FARMERS
SOLVE WOOL PROB
LENS BY POOLING
Small Growers of Six.
teen Counties Co.
operate in Wool
Marketing

Idaho farmers took long step to.
ward the problem of the small flock
owner when, during 1919 and 1920
they pooled two million one hundred
th1rty-one thOunsand pounds of wool
and marketed it, according to bien-
nial statement issued by the univer-
sity extension bureau division. The
statement is based upon reports of
E. F. Rinehart, field animal husband
man and R. B. Millin, sheep special
list.
For many years Idaho farmers
have been facing the problem of how
to market wool at a profit in less
than carload lots and many have
despaired on competing with range
sheepmen, the statement adds.
Six hundred nine thousand pounds
of wool were marketed in this man
ner in 1919, the report says, at a
profit of $48,72O above what the
growers would have received had
they sold their clips individually. In
452O, it says that one million five
hundred twenty-five thousa
pounds were pooled.
"The most of the wool pooled in
1920 was consigned to reliable COM
mission firms" the report says. "A
small quantity of wool in the north
ern part of the state is still in the
farmers hands and two hundred
twenty-five thousand pounds have re-
NAMED in the warehouses in Boise
valley awaiting a market. A few
pools have received advances ranging
as high as 25 cents a pound. Pool
wool has faced, of course, the same
general market stagnation that has
confronted the wool trade as a
whole"
Wool was pooled in the several
counties in 1920 as follows:
ooise valley (Ada, Gem, Canyon,
Payette) 255,O0O; Bingham, 123,-
400; Elmore, $4,000; Fremont-Madi-
son; 741,173; Gooding (estimated)
10000; Idaho, $4,000; Jefferson,
$4,000; Jerome, $4,000; Latah, 49,
600; Lewis, 1889; Lincoln, is, 900;
$4,000; Twin Falls, small
pool, amount not reported; Washing
ton, amount not reported. Total
1,522,000.

board Of directors. The question OF
holding sale came up, and the coun-
ty agent read letter he had received
from some farmers In another COM
munity who wanted to buy stock, and
were coming to Mecklenburgh county
to see what they could get. The d.
rectors appointed committee to re-
ceive them and show them around.
sThus this piece of business was
provided for, and placed in the hands
OF the right persons. Otherwise the
county agent would have had to give
up other work he had on hand. and
search for some one to whom he could
refer the visitors, and 60 with them.
Even then he would not have had the
information so readily available as
these breeders themselves had it.

He had succeeded In getting a number
Of farmers in different parts Of the
county to take up pure breeding, and
had placed some good bulls with
them. These sires had now been used
for two years, and change had to
be made. So the county agent found
It necessary to hustle around and ar
range exchanges among these farm
ers to keep the good sires at work !;
otherwise the owners would have sold
them, and might have neglected to
: buy new ones, and might have lost
the use Of a good bull. II there had

It would have attended to the business

functions, and left the county agent
