GET KICK OUT OF IS
Tetrachlorethy iene!
Here is something for the Rabbit
Stranglers' Guild to juggle with:
It is not a breakfast food nor the
name of a new fabric of dress goods.
It is a threat hurled at hokworm,
which attacks foxes.
The Bureau of Animal Industry
has taken a tip from Mark Twain’s
“Yankee in King Arthur’s Court”—
it is going to scare the hookworm to
death with just such a word as “Sir
Boss” used to put the sun out of busi
ness and gain the rulership of Arthur’s
.realm.
But what the Rabbit Stranglers will
be most interested in is an appended
bulletin by the same authority on how
to kill and skin rabbits.
This is Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1519-F.
by D. Munroe Green—not Monroe
Kast, of Poorman Creek fame who,
with other oldtimers, knew the days
when rabbits were legal tender in
Fairbanks, and the man who could not
strangle his rabbit before Saturday
night had to go to church Sunday
morning without a shave, and when it
required at least three to get a face
massage and “shave the neck.”
There will be a general rush for
Bulletin 1519-F, especially by those
who may have to turn to rabbit
strangling again ifthe government per
sists in creating further reservations
in Alaska.
SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICES
Sunday church services will be
held at the local Methodist church
i
as follows:
Song and preaching services at
11.30 a. m. conducted by the pastor.
The subject of the sermon will be,
The Superiority of the Christian Re
ligions, with 2 Peter, 111:15 as the
Scripture text. Sunday School hour
is 12:45 p. m. immediately following
the preaching service.
Every one cordially invited to
these services. Visitors always re
ceive a cordial welcome. The church
will be warm and comfortable. Come
and worship with us, and we will try
to do you good.
THOMAS PHILIP GRAHAM,
Minister.
The Gateway leads—others follow.
Dr. J. E. Shillinger, of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, visited the Ex
perimental Fur Farm at Saratoga
Springs, N. Y., recently, to assist Dr.
Karl B. Hanson in making critical
tests of tetrachlorethyiene for the
treatment of hookworms in foxes.
Tests were performed on 21 foxes.
“Rabbit Skins for Fur,” Farmers’
Bulletin No. 1519-F, by D. Monroe
Green, was issued on January 13, and
copies may be had on request.
This bulletin describes methods of
handling rabbit skins, from the time
the pelt is removed until it reaches
the raw-fur market or is tanned for
home use, including methods of kill
ing and skinning, stretching, drying
and preserving, sorting and grading,
marketing, packing and shipping, and
tanning. There is also appended a
list of the trade names applied to
rabbit and hare pelts after they have
been prepared for manufacturing
purposes.
TAFT SEES HELP EVEH
FOH ART IN MONEY AGE
MEMPHIS, Feb. 26. (£>)—'The com
mercial age, “growling bugbear that
it is, can never destroy a real artist.
On the other hand, there are times
when it is helpful.”
So believes Lorado Taft, celebrat
ed sculptor, who when hero referred
to himself as a "plugger” who has
won success through daily work.
“Working in the commercial field
is training,” he said. “The demands
of a money age often are just what
is needed to confine the jumping
genius within lines of habit and per
sistence.”
“Genius grows and blossoms
through hard work; flattery often
destroys promise on the budding ar
tist; the urge of art alone does not
make the artist,”—these and other
observations he offered in shaking
his head over talented beginners who
depend on facility rather than con
sistent work.
