TRIAL MARRIAGES
 TABOO IN ATLANTA
Judge Tells CoIored Folks to Pay Fine for NegIecting Marriage
 License

ATLANTA, March 7.-Trial mar riages, considered the proper thing in China, Ukrainia, the South Sea Islands, Timbucktoo and a few other places, are taboo in Atlanta.
 They were declared so by no less an authority than Judge Johnson, in Recorders Court.
 Willie Hurbert, negro, and Bessie Clark, who appeared in court and gave the same address to the usual question, were asked whether or not they were man and wife.
 "Well, not perzactly," Hurbert re- piled. "But we's engaged"
 Fifteen dollars for you, Willie, and your fiancee will have the opportun- ity of paying s5 and costs or 12 days. Trial marriages don't go here-not while I'm judge!"

ITALY EXTENDS WELCOME
 TO AMERICAN TOURISTS

ROME, March 7.-American tourists
 have begun their regular annual in
 vasion of Italy. Where some of them expected to find excitement and agita
 tion, due to the recent Fascist coup in seizing the government, they are con
 fronted by an Italy tranquil and quiet
 and without traces of a political up heavaI
 Italy is eager for the tourist, and is tying to make pleasant his paths. The abolition of the 5000 fee for visa to an Italian passport is expected te increase the tourist business, and the Italian customs authorities are per forming their duties with as little an noyance as possible. In many cases travellers are passed with the exam ination of only one piece of their bag gage, and this perfunctory. Trunks
 and valises that clearly contain per
 sonal effects, and would not be used for the transport of merchandise, dc not arouse suspicion and are an asset to the tourist.
 Henceforward sightseers in Italy
 will be able to buy season tickets good
 for any museum, picture gallery, oI
 excavation in the country, and at g
 material saving. The new tickets
 cover periods of one, three, six and +
 months, and cost respectively 45, 90
 130 and 200 lire.

BLUE FOX FUR INDUSTRY

cess in captivity, also a profitable in- vestment.
 There are in general two classes of mink, one small and very dark, in the northern section of Canada, and around the Great Lakes, a very valu- able animal; the other larger animal, with coarser hair and of lighter color, general throughout the west and in the southern states.
 He is easily tanned and easily raised in captivity, and does not require much room, smal, enclosure can be made to answer for quite large amount of pens, and then the feeding is a small item in the cost of produc- tion. The mink can be raised largely on fish diet, as principal food. Where the fur farmer is close to fish ing grounds this almost eliminates the food cost.
 The mink produces usually four to six young at litter. While they have not the value of the fox, yet when the ease of propagation and the small cost of starting are considered, 1t of- fers very attractive inducement II you are interested in this branch Of the industry.
 We will be glad to receive word from those who are engaged in this line, all information will be given publicity. If you are doing anything let the world know as all are interest ed in the progress being made.
 After all has been said, all matters considered and disposed Of, the one great ouestion is, "Does your fur farm pay?" We hear from all parts of the country the splendid results obtained by fur farmers, and we are assured that as an industry fur farming does nav Yet there are some farmers who have not made a success Of the bus- mess, and others who should make a greater success than they do. If they E
 solve the problems their farm VIII pay and pay big.
 Any business expert by an intelll- gent survey of the business can place his hand on the fautly condition which is causing loss to the company, and in the same way you can be aided in your problems, in the propagation or fur.
 Fur farming is profitable business. If it has not come up to your just ex- pectations, there is something that VOL need to know, and if you get the proper understanding on this point, whatever it may be, you will not be disappointed in the returns.

The mink is proving an attractive asset to the fur farmer In fact to the man engaged in the rat industry he most consistently forces himself on their attention, by reason of his proclivities as a poacher on the rat domain, therefore he has to be dealt with. I sometimes wonder as I have read of rat farmer in the east tell ing of his trapping the mink to get him out of the way, if his policy was not short sighted. Why not capture him, and place him in pen. If he proved unsuccessful as breeder then you have his pelt anyway, and if he did prove susceptible to breeding then you have the increase.
 The mink is valuable fur bearer his fur has very high value for the size, and the mink is proven suc-
