UNIFIED EFFORT

To accomplish results in a COM
munity, there must be willingness
to sink jealousies and differences,
and also a feeling that the people
either stand or fall together. UNITED

people all pursue their individual

PURE BRED ANIMALS r
RECENTLY RECEIVED
At LOCAL FUR FARM

-Four pairs of, pure-bred silver
foxes were added to the menagerie
at the Beartooth fur farm this
week, having been shipped from
the Haskins farm at Hood River,
Ore, as part of the new blood that
is added from time to time to the
strain of the Beartooth foxes.
There is now a stock of about
200 foxes at the farm, says D. W.
Columbus, co-owner with L. w.
Lyons, and the new foxes will be
used for breeding purposes this
winter for further expansion of
the stock, and publication of the
breed. Several more large pens
are being built at the farm, in adj
dition to the 40 already in use.
This year the Beartooth COM
pany intends to go on the local
market for the first time with
"ready made" furs of the silver
fox and other small animals, pre-
pairing and selling pelts directly to
customers here instead of shipping
the entire stock to eastern mar
kets.
Besides the foxes and smaller
fur bearing animals, of which
there is a variety under culture at
the Beartooth ranch, three pairs
of coyotes are being raised. These
are examples of an improved
strain of coyotes that can be
raised commercially for their fur.
The variety differs from the reg
ular scrubby range coyote in that
it is larger, and has a heavier,
finer pelt. Both the thickness and
color of the coyote fur is being i'm
proved by intensive breeding Of
the animals, and qaulity is being
developed that differs from the
ordinary coyote fur as chinchilla
differs from the ordinary rabbit
pelt.
Since the organization of the
Beartooth farm seven years ago,
when D. w. Columbus and L. w.
Lyons started the enterprise with
two pairs of silver foxes, it has
grown to be one of the largest
farms of it's kind in the North
west. It's proprietors have been
unusually successful in the pro-
pagation Of the foxes, as we'll as
variety Of smaller animals such
as beaver, mink, and muskrat, be-
cause the Beartooth mountain eli
mate, with its long winters and
cool summers, is particularly suit
able for the raising of fur bear
ers. Caretakers of the animals
here do not have to contend with
the diseases and parasites that
naturally afflict domestic animals
in warmer climates. Absolute SAN
itation, of course, is responsible
for much of the freedom from dis
ease of the domestic furbearers,
stricter rules of cleanliness being
observed in the raising of these
animals than is sometimes obser-
we'd in the care of dairy cattle.

needed therefore is real arms re-
vision, if this can be brought
about. It cannot, of course, be
brought about until there is a gem
uine desire for peace in Europe.
The biggest step in this direction
would be an economic and political
agreement between France and
Germany. Whether this can be
brought about is indeed doubtful
but until it is brought about, there
is little chance for real peace and
real arms reduction in Europe. A
genuine agreement between France

The bull elephants of patient Jack Curleys wrestling troupe are threat ening to stampede the boxing game right out of Madison Garden. 1 Twice in the past few weeks the grunters and groaners have staged their heavyweight championship" exhibitions in the Garden pit to the delight of 10000 scrambled spec tators while more thousands howled fruitlessly for admittance to the gates
 Time was when Tex Rickard sit ting in splendor at the bronze mon ument he called dask-though he rarely opened it-smiled tolerantly at Curley's frantic efforts to keep his homeless pack in nourishment of the simplest kind.
 The mere suggestion that he al- low the believing waifs to be tethered in his grand amphitheatre would have frozen old Texas with indignation Tex considered the wrestling game the lowest branch of sports confidence games and besides he had no love for Curley, a promoter in his own right of considerable guile and promise
 Those were the days when Tex waved his magic wand over the boxing game and million dollar gates sprouted around him. His be- loved Garden housed overflow crowds week after week. The "6o0 millionaires' with their gleam- ing shirt fronts and gorgeous lad les packed the ringside and ap- 1 plauded delicately. Garden stock sold at $34 share and was con- sidered a gilt edge investment. Cur ley struggled to keep his little flock together and if there was an extra bale of hay after the pro- ceeds were counted of a Saturday night at the Ridgewood Grove, there were squeals and grunts and whin- nies of delight.
 Tex passed along and as boxing slowly started after him to the grave Curley and his duck callers hit the upgrade. Wrestling caught on. Dick Shikat, Hans Steinke, Jim Londos, caught the imagination Of the crowds even in the times of deepest depression as they succeed ed each other as chief trumpeters of the heavyweight herd. They packed the small clubs, the armor ies, and in desperation the Garden invited them within the sacred portals.
 ! Now the wrestlers are drawing crowds of 10000 with more cus- toners available if there were only space for them. A boxing show at the Garden that lures 5000 W th- in the gates is considered quite good Patient Jack Curley is rid ing the high wave and there must be rumbles from the grave of old Tex Rickard
