ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, June 19.-A 59-year- industry is bring ing S8,00O, 900 annually to this coun- try, and Dame Fashion is at the bottom of it, says Peter Duffus, fox farm owner of Pontiac, Mich.
 Modern guns, improved traps and high prices of furs have about exterminated the valuable species of fur bearing animals which have been pursued to their farthest re- treats in the north" he explained Most of our valuable belts now come from farms where the ani- mals are bred and reared in cap tivity.
 'The first known attempt to ob- tain skins in this manner was in the summer of 1870. Ben Haywood of Tignish, Prince Edward Island Canada, purchased a black fox pup and mated 1t with one secured at North Cape in the same province
 This pioneer of the fur farm business succeeded in raising two pups the first year. He sold the skins for $75 and $l00 respectively He did not know they were worth Sl 900 each in London.
 Little progress was made until five years later. Then a mar named Dalton formed partnership with a trapper named Sutton ano built a ranch on Savage Island

PERSIA AGAIN HITS
j. S. TARIFF LAW
Files Second Note of Protest
Against Proposed Changes
Affecting Nations Products.
BY the Associated Press.

a
A second note of protest from the
Persian government against proposed
American tariff changes on certain Per-
sian products imported into the United
States has been delivered to the State
Department by Minister Meftah.
After emphasizing the grave con-
Germ and widespread CONSERVATION
among the Persian public over the pro-
poSal to increase the tariff on rugs and
carpets. the nations principal export to
the United States, the note remarked
upon the grave and embarrassing Sit
uation" the adoption of the new rates
might cause.
It stressed the fact that American
automobiles and machinery are admit
eed on the free list in Persia and that
their importation has increased more
than 100 per cent during the last three
years, and predicted that the state OF
affairs which will result" from the tariff
proposals would be ito the mutual
detriment Of both countries"
Special attention also was called to
the recent large railway supply con-
tracts given to American interests by
the Persian government in face of other
foreign competition.
In conclusion. the note expressed the
"hope the Government of the United
States will not permit any premature
action to hamper the imperial Persian
government in its sincere desire to de-
velop its economic relations with the
United States, by primarily affording
American capital and business interests
special privileges and consideration"

ADJUSTMENTS
NATIONAL PLAYERS-"Smilin'
Through"

The National Theater Players this
week present "Smilin' Through" a
drama by Allan Langdon Martin.
Here is a play which the years can
not rob of its freshness; nor can famili-
arity lessen its charm. It seems long
time since Jane Cowl first unfolded
this touching little love story before the
eyes of a fascinated audience. Many
plays cast along similar lines have
come and been forgotten since that
night, but "Smilin Through" still
blooms as freshly and its delicate
fragrance is none the less sweet.
In less capable hands than those of
the National Players "Smilin' Through
might be spoiled by overemphasis OF
pathos. Even so there are times when
it seems headed in that direction, but

In play which depends upon human
interest" or sentiment for its appeal. a
carefully worked out system OF cheeks
and balances is absolutely essential and
there could hardly be better example
of such system than in this play.
The story is not new to many the
atergoers, but for those who still lock
forward to seeing it for the first time
