Henderson needs a vagrant law and
it needs such law badly. There are
entirely too many lazy loafers about
the streets. Ii these people will not
work they should at least be made to
keep off the streets out of the way Of
people who have business to attend
to. This way of having to walk around
a knot of do nothings who stand and
block up the sidewalks is getting to
be ust Il bit 'uonotonous.

swer the query by saying what we
would do were we in our friends place.
We would first give thought to the
wife and mother who through all the
hard years has so patiently borne the
home burdens We think that we would
fix the old house up-buy some new
carpets. pictures and curtains. While
the house was being fixed we would.
send her down east to have good,

enough Of that money to make the home

A very marked change comes over
the bird and animal life Of country
as 1t becomes occupied by man and
settled. Nearly all birds and animals
native TO such country in its wild
state will disappear. and their places
will be in a measure taken by types
which are a part of the White mans
civilization. The period between the
years 1870 and 1885 witnessed the en-
tire destruction of the passepgrr pi-
geon and the buffalo. countless nm
bers Of which were swept out of
existence by merciless white mans
civilization. All game birds and the
wild fowl are in slower manner. but
none the less surely. going the same
way, and only the most rigorous laws
will prevent the extinction of nearly
all our song birds. Ii Is a poor COM
pensation that we have the sparrow
and the crow to take their places.

THE FACTORY THE FARMERS

THE FACTORY THE FARMERS
ALLY.
The farmer more than any other man
should be interested In the establish
ment Of factories and manufacturing
establishments In his neighborhood.
Factories mean consumers for the farm
products, and the nearer the consumer
is to the producer the better for the
producer. The establishment Of any
manufacturing concern employing 100
hands in community now destitute
Of factories will raise the value Of all
farm lands contiguous In an amount
more than sufficient to build and equip
such factory. That farmer is a natural
born fool who looks upon corporate eff
fort and corporate organization as evil
dence Of monopoly to be opposed and
fought in every possible way. Corporate
effort has made America great. has
developed our greatest industries and
given value to our unparalleled re-
sources. What the farmer wants are
mouths to eat the food he raises-not
SO much mouths In Europe or some
PARKWAY country as mouths right at
homeland he can just as well afford to
pay a premium to get new mouths to
fill as merchant can to get new pa
irons for his store.
