A FEW FUR FACTS

1. Buy good furs and then take
care of them properly
2. Use coat hanger as it pro
longs the life of fur coat.
3. After you have been out in the
rain or in wet snow, shake the coat
vigorously, hang on a hanger and put
it in a place where it will not dry
too rapidly. Seal should be brushed
with a soft clothes brush and then
fluffed out when dry.
4. A thorough whipping with two
smooth pliable sticks is best way to
clean furs Whip vigorously for 10 to
Is minutes and then use furriers

TIE FARMERS HOPE

The farmer hopes that the coming
year will be better than the one just
drawing to a close.
He does not expect greatly increas-
ed prices for his own products but he
does expect to buy at better figures.
In other words, he expects his dollar
to come nearer In size to other mems
dollars
For the past year his dollar has been
worth but sixty-four cents. 1t matters
little to him whether his prices go up
or the other fellows come long sur
vive a general lowering OF prices
and further restriction of his buying
power.
The average farmer has been able
only to live and to meet current ex-

could not save nor pay his debts. In
stead of paying off the mortgages he
has had to renew it-often at an
increased size to cover interest on
