BIRDS MENACE CROP
Farmers Around Bancroft Face Ser
ious Problem of How to Save Corn
Fields From the Great swarms of
BIackbirds Which lnfest Them.

Special to Tines-Republican.
Bancroft, Sept. Is. The excellent
corn crop in this vicinity is threatened
with great damage unless the farmers
devise some means for keeping out of
their fields the pest of blackbird rob-
bers. So serious is the situation,
threatening fully one-half the crop on
some farms, that it is probable a unit
ed effort will be made nex spring to
burn out all the sloughs where the
blackbirds make their nests and hatch
their young. 1t is said that several
farmers north of here have decided to
station two or three farm hands in
their fields with s%hotguns, to kill and
scare the birds away. They figure that
the wages required to maintain such a
guard will be a small part of the saw
ing made in protecting their corn crops.

Hearing how Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations I decided to try it, and in
less than four months ! was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thankfulness."
Miss Margret Merkley Of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
Gloss Of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
an examination, said that had ovarian trou-
BILE and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this I strongly objected
and 1 decided as q last resort to try Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"To my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and l am ones
more strong, vigorous and well; and ! can
not express my thanks for what It has dons
for me-"
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
ton every woman should try Lydia p.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, MasA
for advice.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkhamis
| Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms OF female complaints,
all ovarian troubles, Inflammation, III.
ceration, falling and displacement OF
the womb, leucorrh9a, Irregularities,
indigestion and nervous prostration.
ANY woman who could read the many
grateful letters on file in Mrs. Pink.
hams office would be convinced Of the
efficiency of her advice and Lydia u.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

whether this reform, involving as 1T
does some of the most difficult orob-
lens with which the governments of
the world have had to deal during the
last fifty years, has been helped for
ward very much by speeches asIaili1S
the integrity of our public life, ANA la
menting the decay and disappearance
of representative government il the
United States; for by the time YOU
have convinced a man of average good
sense that mgr has for thirty
years been corruptly dominated by
take only a languid interest in the
prospect of our redemption through
the interstate commission.
What we need, in order to promote
the success of the presidents policy, is
a profounder knowledge of the ques-
tons to which he has called the at
tention of the country. 1t is the part
of the American press to popularize
the fundamental principles which on
troll the settlement of these questions.
and on the whole, l think it may be
said that the newspapers have not
fallen short of their great RESPONSE
bility.'
Reciprocity.
Senator Dolliver referred also, brief
ly, to the reciprocity question. The
difficulty of getting exactly what you
want in this world" he said, was we'll
illustrated in the recent reciprocity
convention at Chicago. The delegates
apparently went there with one mind
and purpose, but a brief interchange
of views developed a variety of motives
so b~ewildering hat the convention
was glad to take refuge in Il platform
of principles which contains only one
sentence which leaves a distinct i'm
preston upon the human mind. and
tenn is the established policy of the
country.
Everything else seems to be in the
air.
ut might be desirable to get congress
to enact a minimum tariff protective in
character, leaving to the president the
right, within limits, to raise it as d
weapon of retaliation against our COM
mercial enemies; though there is grave
doubt of the wisdom of that. But 1T
will require a good deal of persuasion
to induce congress to fix q maximum
at the point of protection, and give over
to the president the right, within linz
its, to reduce it by wholesale or retail
in favor Of countries commercially
friendly to us. Such a scheme would
leave every schedule uncertain from
month to month and from a to year,
and the protective value of such & tar
If would be frittered away in the I'M
stable business conditions it would
create.
THE reciprocity treaties We're de-
feated not by the activity of one inter-
est, or two, but by the combined influ-
ence of all the industrial enterprises
affected by. all the treaties. Now, If a
few scattered industrial interests were
able by combination to nullify the work
of Mr.. Kasson, what is likely to be the
fate of a proposition which leaves ev-
ery protective industry of the country
in a state of chronic uncertainty as to
what it's tariff rate is likely to be from
one day to another? 1t may be possible
to find some way out of this difficulty,
but we will find it hardl to get over
the idea, long a maxim in he industrial
world, that stability and certainty are
necessary to the health and strength
of our affairs"

ing of my hand and of my body within

I thank God, that through the charity
of the good lady, Mrs. Adelaide Pin.
ard, who, seeing my sufferings, gave
me a tablespoonful Of La Sanadora'
to drink, and also she poured some OF
the medicine upon the spot on my

ter this I commenced to feel some re
lief and this increased hourly, SO that
after fourteen hours l was entirely
cured and in my normal condition, re
naming only the seal Of the bite in
my hand.
