CLIMATE CLUB
AT''TEMP I 0
CONVERT AL |

In checking the files of the Border
land Climate club late yesterday a
Dispatch reporter came across a
freshly answered letter which told
an interesting and amusing story of
how the club does its work endeavors
to keep on good terms with everyone
and attempts to turn everything to
some account.
The story of the letters is that a
man named Louis E. Dexter, of
Maiden, Mass, received on of the
Climate clubs booklets He writes
that ne had never requested IN.
formation from Douglas His letter
and the answer sent him appear
below and illustrate the point Of the
diplomacy and tact used by the
Borderland Climate club.
Dexter'S Letter
Maiden, Mass, Nov. IA, 1927.
Mr.. J. w. Tardy,
Douglas, Ariz.
Dear Sir
Your letter of Nov. 9th enclosing
Borderland Booklet on Douglas re-
ceived, and I note reference to a
recent inquiry from me in regard
to same.
Inasmuch as I did not make such
a request I would like to have you
return to me the letter or request
to which you refer bearing my name,
as I would like to ascertain if possible
who might be causing the urneces-
sary expense and annoyance to you
and to myself. Thanking you, I
am,
Louis E.. Dexter.

Mr. Louis E. Dexter,
II Payne Terrace,
Maiden. Mass.
Dear Mr.. Dexter
We are rather surprised to learn
that you did not request one of ou1
booklets and upon looking up the
original request, which we are en-
closing, we note that while there is
a similarity in the signatures that
the address given is 1877 Clarendon
St, Boston, Mass, and that is the
address to which the booklet was
mailed
I If you do not have two addresses
then we would suggest that you have
opened some other mans mail and
would appreciate having you forwar
OUR pamphlet to him.
Far be it ION any intention of
ours to send our perfectly good liter
ature to anyone that did not request
it. 1t is too expensive to send out
proiniscously to say nothing of the
time and energy of writing letters
and getting them out.
But just think, while you are
getting over one flood and threatenee
with another and having real New
England winter weather, we are going
around without coats during the day
and basking in the glorious sunshine.
The street doors to our office arr
open at this moment. We are nc
worrying about heavy overcoatS and

JACKRABBIT SKINS
WORTH 45e POUND

An interesting development in the
control of jack rabbits, which are a
serious pest in Idaho and several
other Western states, has been the
establishment of a market for black
tailed jack-rabbit skins. Through
the efforts of an employee of the
biological survey of the United States
department Of agriculture, two fur
companies are maintaining offices in
southern Idaho and are paying from
DO to As cents a pound for thoroughly
dried and properly stretched jack
rabbit skins. This means 6 or z
cents apiece, as it takes 6 or z of
these skins to make a pound. Me-
in Idaho who are putting out poison
and collecting and skinning on the
average Of $50 rabbits a day, not
only help to keep down the numbers
of the pest, but gain a good income
for the time spent. About 100000
skins have been marketed this winter
in Idaho. This plan is being follow
ed in several other states where jacl
rabbits are troublesome.

GENTLE ART OF
HORN SOUNDING

If you wish to avoid being regard
ed as a nervous, irritable, inexperi-
enced driver or as a new owner I'M
Used to the way Of the road, con-
slider how you toot your horn, says
Erwin Greer, president of the Greer
College of Automotive and Elec-
&rical Trades, Chicago.
Just because everyone is entitled
90 have a warning of what you are
doing and what you are going to do,
you needn't insult their intelligence
BY telling them a dozen times when
once is enough. To keep jabbing
away at the horn after having given
adequate notice is not soothing to
the other fellow, nor does it incline
him to exert himself to move Over
You know how you feel when some
one zones up behind you and blows
and blows after you have heard him
and are dcing your best to give him
room to pass.
There ale nervous drivers who use
their horns so much that they keep
Gheir batteries down. There are 9TH
er drivers who never seem to sound
a warning from beginning to end Of
q trip, unless it may be to scare
som CID lady or to startle a flock
of chickens. There are drivers too,
who use their horns as they are in
tended to be used, to make motor
travel safe Tor motorists and others.
There is dignity and assurance in
a well sounded, long but not too
long, alarm. 1t shows confidence in
ones right of way and it intimates
control of the car and of ones tenn
per. 1t indicates that you believe
that you have a right to expect tt
be given your share Of the road anC
that you are not asking anything un
fair. Also to sound one long not
and stop shows that you acknowledg,
the other fellows rights and realiz
that there are reasons why it may b
%ineXpedient for him to get out o
your way instantly.
There IS such a thing as sports
manship to the kind Of a horn o
your car, and you like to have tn
kind that has an impressive sour
rather than a cheap squawk, and yo
can afford to put on a horn tn;
suits you in such particulars, but tt
evidence Of craftsmanship does NJ
cease with the kind of a noise you
horn makes. You have to cOnsidr
the way you sound that horn.
Give the other fellow a chance.

WOOL MARKET NOT
so BAD AS E

''The Boston wool market is with
out material change from the course
of events earlier in the week." says
a bulletin issued by Murray E. Steb-
bins, secretary of the Montana Wool
Growers association.
Business in this country at the
moment is admittedly slow, and not
altogether strangely so, although the
wool trade, naturally, could wish for
much greater activity.
ON contrast with conditions here,
the foreign markets continued very
strong. London is maintaining
prices fully on the basis of the open
ing prices and possibly a bit higher;
in fact, the market there is against
the buyer, with 80 per cent Of the
offerings being sold and the with
drawals due to high limits imposed
by the owners.
"The JericO pool is not sold.
Meanwhile, fundamental condi-
tions are as they were and the out
look not too bad, probably, if one
could pierce beyond the gloom Of the
monetary inactivity"

JERSEY SHOWS
UPWARD TREND
Building is Ahead of The
1926 Level and Still
Gaining

New Jersey is one of the few
States in the country where general
building operations are showing an
upward trend. While the nation as
a whole is nearly IL percent behind
the 1926 records for the year, as
revealed by building permit figures
from 500 leading cities, the 81 New
Jersey centers are about 8 percent
ahead of the 1926 levels. The
same place gained 10 percent in
September, compared with the
same month a year ago, which con-
trasts with a national loss of II
percent.
New Jerseys 81 cities placed the
State in seventh place for Septem-
Der, with S14,369,6 sos permits issued,
compared with s13,045,5S3 for the
same month last year. The record
for the nine-months period this
year was $149,37S,954 as against
$144,404,22S in 1926.
