ENSAfiB) M CHMCMUA RAISING This attractive, modern building is the new structure erected by Mr. and Mrs. Ottq Klemm to house chinchillas, a combined hobby-business in which they have beeri engaged sincq retiring ffom twenty-five years in the lunch room and tavern business. After completing twenty - five years In business in the Volo community, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Klemm three years ago retired as lunch room, and tavern managers and entered into an entirely new and different venture, raising chinchillas. Combining business with hobby, they have learned the art of raising these small animals on their "O.K. Chinchilla Ranch" near Volo. The Klemms bought three pair of the fabulous balls of fur and were surprise^ to find that they were easy to raise. Thus, the enterprise expanded and recently a new building was erected to house the growing number. So many folks in the area have asked to see the chinchillas that the Klemms have decided to have open house Saturday, Oct. 20, and Sunday, Oct. 21, at which time the animals- will be on display for the benefit of all who have never seen them. The public may stop at their convenience on either day and see these remarkable ahimals whose fur has been used for royalty in Europe and Asia for several hundred years. Long before Columbia sailed from Geneva, the Chincha Indians set snares in the cloud-wrapped heights of the. Andes mountains to trap the thick-furred, beautifully colored animals. This was", in that time, the country of the Incai, a powerful, enlightened Indian tribe. Chinchilla was the fur of Inca royalty. No one else dared don a chinchilla robe under penalty of death. After the conquest of the Incas by the Spaniards in 1532, the chinchilla pelts were shipped to Europe in such large quantities that chinchillas became almost extinct Then in 1923 an American mii^ ing engineer, M. F. Chapman, received special permission from the Chilean government to trap and bring to the U. S. the almost extinct Chinchilla. In 1919 he organised a group of twenty Indian trappers to comb the npountain ranges. By 1921 they had fourteen suitable animals safely in cages. How he got them to San Pedro, Calif., by 1923 is a great tribute to the patience, perseverance and planning of this one man. Of the fourteen, eleven came through alive and from them are descended practically all the chinchillas in America today. Usually the animals mate for life and the female, being the larger of the two. is boss, ruling the roost They feed on hay the total cost for a year amounting to about three dollars. They are clean and odorless and best of all, require little care. They prefer a ool place and so are generally :ept in basements by individuals vho have a limited number. «IRL SCOt'TS ..Troop 3, of which Mrs. Milton Olsen and Mrs. Maurice Granger *re lehders, have made cartoon acrapbooka* to be given for use by Minnie Green, who is in care of rehabilitation work for the Legion Auxiliray.
