THE ONCE DESPISED SKUNK

Valued Insect Destroyer.

One of our most popular animals is

for out of forty-eight states in which
the skunk occurs thirty-hve give him
protection, writes Milton Wright III
The Scientific American.
In most cases this protection was
given at the urgent demand of the
farmers, who appreciate his import
ance as a destroyer of insects and
small rodents.
Europe appreciates skunk fur more
than does America and immense num-
bers OF pelts are sent abroad every
year.
Sc valuable is the skunk that it is
initiated quite generally, and most OF

the Virgin Mary is said to have ap-

The day was that Of the nativity OF
the Virgin and the number OF visitors
was estimated at 10000. The largest
group was one of 5000 from Cambria;

COTTON ESTIMATE
14,759,OOO BALES
ACCORDING TO U. S. REPORT
PRODUCTION GAINS $4,000

report of the u. S. Department OF
agriculture and the Census Bureau.
The indicated production fortnight

Last years crop totaled 1882 $50

The Crop in Georgia.
The official October report, issued
Thursday through the Georgia Co
Operative Crop Reporting Service,

Georgia, the estimated yield being APP
proximately per cent larger than the
1925 final output, and considerably
above production for any other year

the delicious sea breeze which fans

Florida boasts openly and with rea-

asset which is mentioned only in a

Mealtime on a Florida immigration
train is little short OF stampede,
though passengers are hauled on each

one per train is all that is provided.
Those who appear first at mealtime
are well served. The second and third
groups get along well enough. Then
comes the rush. Hungry passengers
push forward to the dining car in
droves. There are no vacancies. A line
forms. Sometimes it reaches through

NEW PARIS PASTIME.

Watching American visitors eat
corn on the cob is one of the autumn
pastimes of the Paris boulevardiers
A grill room on the Boulevard Des
Italiens, which specializes in American
dishes, leaves its curtains always
drawn so that all who pass in the
street may watch the diners. This,
however, has not discouraged the
Americans who want the excellent
roasting ears, oyster stews, American
ham and eggs" and griddle cakes
with genuine Vermont apples the place
offers.
Frenchmen, apparently too, have a
liking for most of the American dish
es which this grill room serves, but
Jew OF them care to tackle corn on
the cob. Snails and many other French
delicacies are fairly messy, but they
are French, and there is something so
comical to a Frenchman in eating corn
off the ear that he hesitates to make
the attempt in public.
