The most glaring illustration Of greed practiccd by
corporations fostered by the Roosevelt administration
is shown by the great Pullman Car Company. This
hoggish and soulless band Of millionaires have reduced
wa ges of skilled workmen TO that Of common laborers.
In fact the workmen Of that corporation have been
reduced to a wage which does otcovcr living tx penses.
The portcrs Of that company are negroes. but their
wage is 50 paltry that they are compelled to depend on
tips from the public 60 make ends meet. In face of
these reductions the pullman Company nave paid the
largest dividends in its history Chi, year, while they
have a surplus OF over three and a half millions. How
do voters like this style of protected interests?

This giant in intellect was a beautiful picture, tow

national issues, and ex planned the fallacy of high tariff
ard the N amer by which the trusts and corporations
worked it. SO plain did he make this argument that
the ordinary school boy could understand it. Then
he driited INTO state issues and explained the position
occupied by 10th the Democratic and Republican par

that the people OF Missouri did not want a change in
the administration of state affairs.

Division Between Pens Of Double

from the south wall to within three
feet of the north wall. Where con-
venient hole twelve inches wide and

The roosting quarters should be

wide and seven feet long. 1t Is placed
twenty inches above the ground
Four two by four-inch studs should be
erected at the inside corners. The
end and back of each roosting quar-
ter should be tight boarded for fou,
feet above the dropboard to prevent
draughts striking the fowls. A twelve
inch hinged board at the back is CON
venient for the removal of droppings.
The roosts are two by four inch scant-
lings with the corners rounded off on
the two-inch edge on which the fowls
roost. The roosts are ten inches
above the drop board; the rear roost
Is ten inches from the wall; the roosts
are sixteen inches apart.
Below the dropboard laths are
nailed up and down, ~ inches apart,
so that the fowls can feed from the

would advise boarding in the top of
the roosting quarters and dropping a

on cold nights. At other times the
curtain could be fastened up.

hung with screen door spring hinges,
The windows in the south wall of the
house should also be hinged.

There was, according to the story,

took prizes at all the fairs and shows
of the countryside.
A gentleman, stopping in the neigh

and his birds that he decided to give
the old mans stock trial. Accord
ingly he sent an order for the finest
turkey that could be procured, and in
due season was delighted to receive
an exceedingly large and plump fowl.
The fowl was roasted and served,
but SO tough and dry did it prove that
