cut down interference, including that
caused by some of the electrical IN

Rabbits Fur Now
A Source of Profit

Wellington, New Zealand, Sept. 25-
"a. p. by MaiD-Modern womans
fondness for furs is enabling this
country to turn its rabbit pest into a
source of profit.
For many years multitudes of rab-
bits were slaughtered merely to keep
them from destroying the crops. With
the discovery, however, that the rab-
bits coat could be dyed and made to
look like a more expensive fur, he
became an asset instead of liability.
Last year GS,500.00O rabbit skins
were exported from New Zealand to
the United States and England.
These skins were valued at upwards
Of 100000. Rabbit trapping has
now become a well established and
remunerative business.
The opossum is another animal
which New Zealand is turning into
profit. America takes most of the
blue and grey opossum skins. The
darker furs go largely to Great Brit
ain,

One Who Desired to Know

A suburbanite in New Jersey was
moving from one street to another
where he had just built a new house.
Observing WITH dismay the care-free
way in which the moving crew yanked
his cherished antiques about, he was
filed with a desire to save from posi-
BILE damage tall grandfather's clock
which he priced highly and which was
reliably reputed to be more than hum
dred years old.
Taking the clock up in his arms he
started for the new house. But the
clock was as tall as it's owner, and
heavy besides, and its doors kept
swinging open, so that he had to put
it down every few feet and rest his
arms and mop his streaming brow.
Then he would clutch his burden to his
heaving bosom and stagger on again.
Before he had gone block he had
repeated this operation a dozen times
and was painting from exhaustion
Every time he put the clock down he
would gaze into its round, impassiye
face and curse it for weighing SO much
and for being SO unwieldy.
After half an hour OF these strenu-
Gus exertions he was nearing his des-
tination when a man who had been
watching his labors from the opposite
side of the road took advantage of
halt to hail him.
Mister" he said thickly, could /
ask you a quest'n?"
what is itY' demanded the pestered
guburbanite.
"Why in thunder don. you carry
watch?"
