The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1927-01-21

One of Washington's modern
builders is planning a new anC
exclusive apartment house on the
sites of the residences of John
Hay and Henry Adams at Six
teenth and Fl streets in the Capt.
tai City.
But all the earmarks of these
historic buildings are not to be
done away with. The builder has
carefully removed the panelling
from the hallway in the John Hay
house and plans to reproduce that
room in the new building. 1t will
be known as the John Hay room
and will be marked by a bronze
plate.
John Hay was one of Americas
ablest men and most successful
diplomats. He read law in the
office of Abraham Lincoln and
came to Washington with him as
private secretary. During the
Civil War he was aide de camp to
the President. and afterwards re-
presented this country at several
foreign capitals.
From 1897 until his death in
1905 he was Secretary of State,
and in that capacity his unusual
flair for diplomacy made possible
the later building of the Panama
Canal. He also is responsible for
our open door" policy in China.
Mrs. James Wadsworth, wife of
the Senator from New York and
daughter of the diplomat, recently
sold her fathers house to the
builder of the new apartments.
Gradual encroachment of dwell
ings and small business buildings
is driving the farmer out of the
boundaries of the District of Co.
lumbia. He goes over into nearby
Virginia or adjacent Maryland to
till the soil and raise his crops.
Fifteen years ago there were PIT
farms In the District, with a total
area of 5000 acres. Today there
are only 139 farms, with about
$500 acres, and less than that in
cultivation. Only 800 persons are
engaged in farming within the
District of Columbia today.
One of the transportation com
panies in Washington has asked
permission to discontinue its bus
lines to the poorhouse. Traffic is
so light that the line, officials say,
does not pay expenses. The super
intendent Of the institution admits
that many of the sons and daugh-
ters of the inmates there visit
their parents in private automo-
biles.

Senatorial taste in neckties still
is being displayed by about so OF
the doormen, guards and en-
ployees at the Capitol building.
Many OF these are gifts of Senator
Kendrick, of Wyoming, who makes
an annual rite of the distribution
of neckties. He also presented
gold pieces to Senator pages.
Other Senators and Represen-
tatives remember employees at
the Capitol in various ways, with
dinners. luncheons, or special gifts
on anniversaries.

The education of our youth is
preponderantly in the hands of
women. This discovery is made by
the U. S. Bureau of Education in
ending with the year 1925. At
that time, the Bureau finds, there
were 1852 men teachers as
against 1892 women engaged in
that profession. In 1890 the num-
Der of men in the classrooms was
Sc out of every 100, but since
that time the percentage has
steadily decreased until today it
is only 81 per cent of the total.

THERE'S MILLIONS IN
IT IF you CAN CATCH
ENOUGH JACKRABBITS

There is at least 81 100000 poten-
tial wealth in the Casa Grande valley
running around on four feet carrying
neither brand nor earmark, waiting to
be gathered and marketed by some en-
terprising farmer, and that is the am
nual jack rabbit crop, the skins Of
which have a commercial value of
about Is cents f. o. b. Casa Grande
Following is letter from Rodent
Control Leader Don Gilchrist received
this week by County Agent George
Scheerer, giving full information as
to methods of handling the jackrab-
bit crop:
Phoenix, Arizona, Feb. Is, 1927.
Mr.. Geo. w. Scheerer, County Agr.
Agent.
Dear Mr.. Scheerer:-
Rabbit skins are becoming valuable
and farmers and hunters could make
good money on jack-rabbit skins if
they desire to go after them. Over
100 100000 rabbits skins are used an
nually in this country. Over SO per
cent of them are imported. They are
used in fur garments, linirgs for
gloves and felt for hats. Fur dealers
have recently become very active in
buying jack-rabbit, cottontail and do
mestic rabbit skins in the United
States.
Big shipments have already been
made from Idaho, Wyoming, Kansas
and Colorado. In Idaho some of the
hunters have averaged $50 jack-rab-
bits day and have received from
seven to fifteen cents each for the
skins. Kansas has just sold 10000
skins. The farmers in Wyoming just
received $6,473.O0 for 38,540 rabbit
skins, or about Ice each. One farmer
in. Wyoming brought in 10 rabbit
skins, one COW hide and one horse
hide. He received $3.50 for the 10
rabbit skins, but only $1.65 for both
the COW and horse hide.
Directions for preparing rabbit
skins are herewith enclosed and a
number Of stretchers are being sent
yop. They can be given to interested
farmers or hunters in order to get
someone interested in killing the rab-
bits. The United Rabbitries Market
ing Corporation, Box 81, Monrovia,
California, sell the stretchers forsfive
cents each or one could make his own
with No. 9 wire.
The above company is also Offer
ing 10 to Is cents for dried jack-rab-
bit skins properly prepared f. 0. b.
Monrovia. Torn skins sell as patches
for five cents, cottontail skins five
cents and up.
The e. A. Stephens Fur Co, Of Dem
YER is offering so cents pound for
dried rabbit skins. The dried jack
rabbit skins vii run six and seven to
the pound.
The National Rabbit Federation of
New York also will sell skins for the
farmers on commission basis.
If you can interest farmers and
hunters in this matter it will result in
bringing in some cash for the skins
and will help control a pest which
damages our crops and ranges extern
sively.
Very truly yours,
D. A. GILCHRIST,
Leader Rodent Control.
