Trappers Laugh at "H. C. L."

1919

POINT A LA HACHE, La. — The high cost of living isn't worrying trappers along the lower coast. They are earning as much as $150 a week, because furs are bringing the highest prices ever known here. Muskrat pelts bring 90 cents each, and raccoon pelts $4. School boys who look after traps during their leisure hours are making about $3 a day.
