FUR FARMING

If the wearing of furs is to continue as generally
at present, furfarmng should become increasingly
popular and profitable. Fur-farmng is the only way
to maintain steady supply of the desired pelts 1t
should be accompanied by protection of the wild ami
mails now fast disappearing result of the trem-
endous demand for fur OF every variety.
1t is reported that 500 ranchers in the United
States are engaged in the rearing of silver and
foxes. They have between IL, 600 and $4,000
foxes in captivity and their investment valued
at about $S000,000 The breeding of fur-bearng
animals is increasing TO such extent that the United
States Biological Survey is giving its aid in studying
improved methods of feeding the animals and main
tanning their health against parasitic and other dis
eases.
In Alaska the raising of the blue foxes has been
developed large scale and blue fox farmers are
organizing for the purpose of furthering their work
Sections of no particular value agriculturally
found suitable for foxfarming, particularly in the
islands along the coast.
If all the furs required by the modern woman
could be raised in this manner, leaving the little
wild creatures of wood and field and stream in peace
there would be less objection to this demand of fash
ionable dress.

WHEN LABOR UNIONS QUARREL

Testimony before national building industry
board shows the folly of petty jurisdiction disputes
For two or years there has been standing dis
pute between the carpenters and the metal workers
to which should have the right to install hollow metal
doors and trim. When builders hired carpenters for
that work the metal workers struck and other trades
struck in sympathy. When builders hired metal work
ers, the carpenters and their friends struck.
The result has been the tying up of great deal
of building work One alone, in city has lost
S6Oo0cO in six months because of delay due to this
union quarrel The total loss to employers has run
up into tens of millions And workmen themselves
have undoubtedly lost millions by it. A manufacture
Ell says that the entire hollow metal door industry
probably amounts to than 81 900 900 year,
and the outlay for the work of erection is not
than one-tenth of that.
Thus, for trivial advantage, the union men have
made big sacrifice themselves and have imposed
fair losses on employers The latter have been will
ing all along to employ whichever union had the better
right to work, but the unions themselves could not
agree.
Union lahor will never get ahead by such tactics.
In fact such tactics runous because they only
make less work but prejudice against unions
in general distracting attention from the good fea-
lures of unonism.

NATIONAL GROWTH

1t is hard to keep track of the countrys population
No have people become accustomed to speaking
of our hundred millions than along the
researchers and announce that there 100000,
900 of us in continental United States.
And that isn't the worst of it. The census bureau
estimates that the census in $780, will show 12O
100000 That will make gain of about 15 900 900 for
the decade. The gain since the 1920 census has been
4500,000 already
Part of this gain comes from immigration, but
very little of it. Under the present immigration law
there only about 100000 gain in an average year.
and the immigration bill now pending may make it
still less. Thus nearly all of the gain from
tural growth
That fact makes blessing out of what otherwise
might be for worry The country can stand an
increase of 100000 100000 year when they're
native-born Americans

SO, as there was such heavy
snow storm, the bunny gentleman
did not so out that day, but re-

the flakes, until at last, when Nurse
Jane went to the back door, she

DOVER ABOUT READY TO GIVE
ORDER FOR s185,0OO SCHOOL
BUILDING WILL BE MODERN IN
STYLE AND CONVENIENCES
Will Be Erected on a Newly Purch-
ased Lot Over in the Dover Beau
tiful SectiOn-LOwest Bidder

Dover's Board of Education has
about completed arrangements for the
closing of the contract for building
of the new school building on the lot
purchased some few years back by the
School Board in "City Beautiful" In
view of the fact that the bond issue
for Dover could not be over five per
cent of the assessed value of the prop
erty which amounts to 100000, the
Board could not issue bonds over this
amount. There is already a bonded
Indebtedness of nearly 700 includ-
ing the purchase of the lot and debt
on the present school building of some
years standing, which would allow the
District to bond only for approximate
ly $185,000 and this right was given
the present board at referendum
vote taken there last June. On the
day of opening the bids for the pro-
posed new school building which was
January 2, the lowest bidder was
Barnes and Mclaughlin Co., Philadel-
phia $198,860 they being $4,000 low
! CL lilcil lllC hCAl lONCSt D1Nty
was that of Hirons and Townsend of
Dover, their bid being $224,950. The
highest bid was that of Lon W.Clifton
of Dover, $264,844 The Board real
izing that but one of the bids was
anywhere near the amount of the pro-
posed bond issue, efforts were made
to see if changes could be suggested
which would in no way impare the
building in it's usefulness for all pur-
poses concerned. In view of this fact
the Board has had several conferences
among themselves, the State Board Of
Education and the State Commission
Ell of Education as well as with the
;. lowest bidders, Barnes G. Mclaughlin
resulting in notifications sufficient t;
secure the buildings within the re
quired $185,000 bond issue. The con
tract will likely be signed within thu
next two or three days and work il
expected to begin within ten days o.
; two weeks on excavation of the lot
The contract calls for the completion
of the building in one year.

FIVE CHANGES IN SCHOOL LAW
GET APPROVAL OF COMMITTEE
UNFAVORABLE REPORT ON AL
LOWING THE 25 CENT TAX
Transportation and Other Features
Are to Be Thoroughly Investigated
by Sub Committee of Legislature


Representative Holcomb last week
reported from committee six of the
twenty-three bills introduced earlier
in the session providing for amend
ments to the present school law. Of
the six bills reported from committee
one was reported unfavorably and five
favorably, and they will probably be
brought up for third and final read
ing in the House soon. Final consid-
Grafton of these proposed amendments
in the House will signalize the open
ing gun in the fight between those
who want to continue under the new
school laws, as modified by the pro-
posed amendments, and those. who
wish to revert back to the conditions
existing prior to 1919 when the School
Code was enacted. The amendment
reported unfavorably provides for To-
cal school boards to levy tax of %
cents on the 500 of realty assessment
on petition of 20 per cenSof the tax
payers of the district. The favorably
reported follows: Providing for a
bond issue on referendum vote.
Giving Justices of the Peace juris-
diction under compulsory school laws.
Requiring school attendance and
providing transportation for children
living in excess of two miles from the
school was favorably reported.
Sale of unused buildings in any dis
| l,xv +I,o P0o,-J &c ENC,no ~ ~,
or Board of Trustees of any Special
District, was reported favorably.
Fixing grades and school terms was
also reported favorably.
Representative Nelson introduced
tn following resolution, which after
considerable discussion as to the pay
ment of transportation and other ex-
penses was adopted:
"Be it resolved by the House OF
Representatives and the Senate con-
curing therein, that the joint commit.
tee on appropriations be and the same
is hereby authorized and empowered
to appoint a subcommittee of as
many members as may seem advis-
dDle, WHOSE uuIy IL Sndll De 10 WISH
and investigate any of the various
agencies requesting State aid, wher.
ever it shall appear advisable to inves.
tigate such agency; and be it further
resolved that the actual expenses in.
CURED by such subcommittee shall
be allowed by the House Claims Com
mittee. An amendment that sucl
subcommittee be non-partisan, offer
ed by Representative Little, was adop
ted.
