Mr.. Major, the famous cement man of New
York, explains some very interesting facts about
Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that it is many hundred per cent better
than other cements, for which similar claims
are made. but a great many do not know why.
The simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered and other man.
ufacturers do not use them, because they are too
expensive and no not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells us that of the elements Of his
cement costs S3.f5 pound. and another costs
500 O gallon. while a large share of the so.
are slLteen-cent glue, dissolved IN water or cit
nc acid, and, IN some cases. altered slightly in
color and Odor BY the addition Of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fiteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a dealer
tries To sell substitute you can depend upon
II that his only object Is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
tins n dOubiy true IN view Of the fact that each
dealer gets his share Of the benefit Of Mr.. Maj
ors advertising. which now amounts to over
$500 a month. throughout the country. Estab-
lshed in 1916.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
Off-hand advice from druggist.

HOPPER EXTERMINAToRS.
The Agricultural Side Of Turkey Raising
OF Importance 70 the Farmers OF
Shrrman County.

Ed Fender, who lives five miles
northwest Of GOOdland, has expert
enced the saIutary effect Of keeping
turkeys to protect crops from the in
vasion and devastation by grasshOp-
pers. Mr.. Fender lives in locality
that received enough rain this year to
bring to maturity a fair crop Of corn if
only the ravages Of the grasshopper
could be stayed. With the aid Of tur-
keys he has overcome the encroach-
ments Of these crop destroyers; and,
while the other farmers in the same
vicinity, who kept no turkeys, we're
forced to see the ravenous hOppers eat
up their substance, Mr.. Fender made
this same pest a source Of his revenue.
This year he raised a flock Of 90 tur-
keys. Near his house he put out .
acres Of corn When the grasshOppers
came the turkeys at once began to put
out from the mere confines Of the barn
yard and lived upon the grasshopper
entirely. The turkeys liked their new
food 50 well that they would not eat
corn. Every morning as soon as they
we're let out they straightway went for
the hOppers until they had pushed
back the invading line Of the hoppers
about three-fourths Of a mile from the
growing corn.
Along toward evening one day last
week, several Of Mr.. Tenders turkeys
were killed by a wolf Having a cur
iosity to know about how many grass
hoppers were caught daily by a turkey
Mr.. Fender opened the crop Of one
and, besides a few worms and bugs, he
counted 90 grasshoppers-au these
the harvest of one turkey in one day.
Taking this as an average, his flock of
90 turkeys would devour 20,61O grass
hoppers every day. Aside from pro-
tecting the corn crop, which gave a
good yield, the turkeys themselves are
worth more than 500.
This is a good example, showing the
wisdom Of raising turkeys for their az
ricultural, as well as for their market
value. In future the raising Of tur-
keys would bring thousands Of dollars
annually to the farmers Of this county.
Then it would be, that desire shall
neither fail, nor the grasshOpper be a
burden

FULL DINNER PAIL IN KANSAS.
Bob sempIe shnws what Wages Were
Paid IN 1896 and 19OO-Purchas-
ing Power Then and Now.

Here is the "fulI dinner pail" in OP-
Grafton In Kansas. The statistics here
With given were compiled by R. H
Semple. The prices q1oted we're taken
from the books Of his family grocery
store. As the basis for his comparison
be has taken the average wages paid to
carpenters in 1896 aud 1900, and he
shows in conclusive manner the pur
chasing power of those wages then and
now. Here is his statement:
IN 1896 carpenters employed By the
Santa Fe Railroad company received
on an average $3.50 per day. The
wages of these mechanics have not
been increased and remain practically
the same as they we're four years ago.
We have taken the retail prices Of
groceries for the month OF September,
1896, and compared them with the
prices Of the same commodities in
September of this year, 1900, and We
are prepared to show conelusiYely that
while wages have remained stationary
the cost of living under trust prices
has been very materially increased, as
the following statistical table viii
show. In 1896 a days wages Of a car
'penter, namely, $3.50, would have pur-
chased the following amounts Of family
supplies"
