FUR TRAPPERS OUT
FOR SEASONS PELTS
FIND READY MARKET

CENTERVILLE. Ind. Nov. b.
Those who follow the oldest industry
in Wayne county. fur trapping, which
the first white settlers in the commun-
ity engaged in, are taking full advant-
age of the state law which opened the
trapping season Nov. 10, ten days earl
Ter than last year.
Although trapping is no longer one
of the important industries of the
county there are a number of resi-
dents of southwestern Wayne who
still devote the greater part of their
time each winter following their trap
lines in the wooded sections of the hill
country between Centerville, Abingdon
and Milton.
Veteran pelt hunters say that
skunks, opossum and raccoons are still
to be found in considerable numbers
in various sections of the county. One
Center township man has found It
profitable to operate a skunk farm.
Pelts Not Matured.
The earlier opening of the trapping
season this year has not proved to be
of any especial benefit to the trappers
because of. the warm weather. The
game has been plentiful as usual but
the pelts have,not yet attained full win

fur which brings the best prices in
the market.
Chicago is said to be the principal
market for the fur trappers in south
western Wayne county, who report
that the demand for pelts is brisk and
increasing day by day. They point to
the fact that there is now an all-year
demand for furs. Many women wear
furs in the summer and there is&also
more fur being used on dresses
Prices for such pelts as are to be
found in Wayne county started off this
season at about the peak figures at
tanned last year, and when colder
weather arrives a price advance is
anticipated
Prices for PeIts
Raccoon pelts are now bringing
from 81 to SIS, according to quality.
An average price for a good skunk
pelt is So, while an oppossum pelt in
good condition sells for about IS cents.
All pelt prices from now on are sub.
ject to daily variation, however.
A few mink are to be found in
Wayne county and a good mink pelt
brings joy to the heart of every trap
per, for its value approximates 81.
Also few muskrats are occasionally
yielded by traps in sections of the
county. An average muskrat pel1
now brings $125.
Later in the season some fox pelts
will be shipped out of Wayne county
to the Chicago market.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, or
binary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to meisten
the scalp and rub in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most. If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy.
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to ail.-Advertisement.

w hat becomes
o. 100000
cement sacks
q year?
Practically 90 per cent Of
the o5,OOO,OOO barrels Of
portland cement shipped
last year was delivered in
returnable cotton sacks.
To supply users of cement
promptly, the industry must
have about 2OO,OOO,OOO
sacks either on hand or in
use.
The sack method of ship
ping is most convenient.
There are four sacks to a
barrel. Each sack contains
"a pounds of cement-a
cubic foot. And a cubic
foot is handy volume in
proportioning concrete
mixtures.
Whencem shipped, thesacks
are billed to the purchaser. When
they are returned, they are bought
back at the same price if they are
in disable or repairable condition.
This involves much work in
checking, cleaning, sorting and
repairing.
But in spite Of the fact that every
good cement sack is redeemabe,
100000 of the sacks shipped
everyyear fail to come back-aloss
of nearly $5,OOO,00O year at
present prices of new sacks.
To replace these "lost, strayed or
stolen sacks requires annually
over $4,000 bales of cotton 1t re-
Quires that the textile industry
weave a strip of cloth 30 inches
wide and 1900 miles long. 1t
means that 900 looms are kept
working full time for year.
Thousands Of sacks returned to
the cement mills for redemption
are damaged, yet accepted for
credit, if they can be repaired
This repair is done by the cement
manufacturer at his own expense
A medium sized plant shipping,
say 1,0OO,O barrels of cement a
year, has to repair an average of
5000 sacks per day from among
those returned for credit. This
keeps opeople constantlyworking
at rapidly operated electric sew
ing machines. In million barrel
year plant, % people are con-
stantly employed sorting, counting,
repairing and otherwise caring for
returned sacks SO that they may
again be used.
AT the present time $3OoO0,oO0
would be conservative estimate
of the investment which the ce-
ment industry has in cotton sacks.
Sacks are one Of the lesser, but
nevertheless important items in
the cement industry.
