FRIEND-L. c. LONG STANDS SPON-

Being the lucky winer of the Plym-
outh Rock eggs offered as premium
for subscriptions to "The Representa-

the donor that l acknowledge receipt

do the same.

roes of 1920; Danish prejudice from your
mind, boom "The Representative" and
the Peoples Party, and thereby help to
establish liberty once more in the land
of our fathers.
I in turn have presented the eggs re-
ceived to widok lady. who makes a

highest number of subscriptions she will

MORE EGG PREMIUMS.

The same good friend Of the REPRE-
SENTATIVE, who furnished the pre-
miums previously awarded, being not
weary in well doing, but being moved
by an earnest desire to extend its cir
culation, makes another offer. viz:
To send Is choice barred Plymouth
Rock eggs to any person who RENTS
50 cents for them to the REPRESENT
ALIVE. The money thus sent to be
used in paying for papers to be sent to
persons named by him.
Now send in orders for these splen-
did eggs. Our friend gets nothing for
them; indeed, is glad to give them in
order that others may be helped
by the Representative. Hear
him:-"1 guarantee that the eggs will
be securely and carefully packed, and
that they are from as fine barred
Plymouth Rocks as there are in the
state, care not who claims to have
better. have bred these birds care
fully for 10 years, and have been to
considerable expense to secure high

birds from Mr.. Hurst of Waterloo, Ia.

June and July are good months for
Matching. The Plymouth Rocks are a
quick maturing breed of chickens.
Send in your orders, the eggs will be
promptly shipped.

IMITATION BULLET HOLES.

The willy shopkeepers of the town who
seek to draw customers by attracting
crowds around their shop windows have
invented a new device which seems to
be very successful. It has often been
remarked that nothing attracts a crowd
of idle passers-by like a broken plate
glass window. If the break is small, as
though made by pistol bullet, there
is generally to be found a shifting
crowd of from six to a score of persons
gazing intently at it as though an ap-
paration was soon to make an appear
ance.
A CORTLAND street shop says the
New York Evening Telegram, was the
first to adopt the new device, which con-
sists simply in drawing on the inside of
pane with green soap a dozen or two of
straight lines diverging from a center.
The illusion is almost perfect The
shopkeeper in question emphasized it by
hanging alongside a placard Offering
500 reward for the apprehension and
conviction of the miscreant who broke
the show window.
1t was good hit and the device has
been copied in every part of the city
On the Bowery, where there are at least
a dozen windows so marked, some Of
the clothing dealers hire men to stand
outside and gaze at the *broken" win
dow. This never fails to form the nu-
cleus for a considerable crowd.

STRANGE CANNONS OF STONE.
The most wonderful cannon on record
are those which are described by Bry-
done, whose travels in Sicily and Malta
won we'll deserved renown toward the
the end of the last century. Many facts
and stories he recounts that seem stran-
gely old-world to us. though the date is
little more than 100 years ago, so grand
ly did the French revolution transform
Europe.
Malta was full of wonders more or less
droll while the knights held it, but moth
ing equaled the stone guns. Everybody
knows that the Notifications were cut
out of solid rock. but Brydone was
right in saying that kind of ordi-
nance used to defend them was un-
known to all the world besides.
AS we understand his description, the
knights left a great block of stone
where they followed out an embrasure
in the cliff, which afterward they shap-
ed and bored in the form of gigantic
mortar. These engines contained a
whole barrel of gun powder. That SHOW
eled in, they plugged it with great
piece of wood, fitted exactly to the bore
as wadding, and loaded up with cannon
balls, shells and other deadly materials.
About fifty of these remarkable guns
commanded the spots which a hostile
ship was most likely to approach.
1.-THE mouths of some are six feet wide
and they are able to throw 10000
pounds weight of balls or stones" The
range is not stated, but the falling pro-
jectiles covered an area of over 300
square yards.

MAKES THEM DEAF.

.'It Is peculiar fact" said Edwin w.
Fiske, of Mt. Vernon, N. T., who is one
Of the best known dog fanciers, espe-
cially in the spaniel line, in the country,
that almost invariably a man who is
a dog fancier and follows bench shows
with any degree of regularity is deaf.
The best known dog men in the country
have their hearing more or less affected.
1t is caused by the incessant barking
and bowling which one always finds at
a bench show. A continuous noise of
itself would not necessarily cause deaf
ness as men in rolling mills and fac
tories have to stand noise of much
greater volume and of more shocking
nature than you can find in a dog show.
But the barking and the bowling of a
dog seems to have a strange and unex-
plainable effect upon the ear drum. OF
course to affect the hearing 1t takes a
long time, 50 that only the men who are
old in the business are affected You

hibited here and you will find my state
ment verified. '-Chicago Times-Herald

Gr0menC mas D0cu SO framed LnaC, IN
matters of taxation for its support and
maintenance, those who have money de-
rived from the renting of real estate,
or from the leasing or using of tangible
personal or who, owning invested per-
sona1 property, have privileges that can
not be accorded to those who have
money derived from the labor Of their
hands, or the exercise of their skill, or
the use of their brans. -
And it Is now held that under the
constitution, however may be the needs
Of the government, however sorely the
administration in power may be pressed
to meet monied obligations of the ma
ton, congress cannot tax invested per-
sonal property, except by a tax appor-
toned among the states, on the basis Of
their population.
Justice Jackson, in concluding his
opinion, said that the decision was the
most disastrous blow ever struck at the
constitutional power of congress. It is
q disaster and must be regarded as a
public calamity"
The bred Scott decision cost this
nation vast amount of blood and

will cost this nation 10-fold more loss
