A FRIEND TO THE FARMER.

From the standpoint of a farmer, perhaps no birds more useful than the swallows exist. Especially adapted for flight and uneXcelled in aerial evO- lution, they have few rivals in the art of catching insects in mid air They eat nothing of value to man, and in return for their services in destroy ing vast numbers of insects ask only for harbornge and potection.
 The invasion of the cotton states by the destructive insect-bol weevil- has caused losses to the cotton crops of such magnitude that the depart ment of agriculture is using every means to combat the evil. They rec Ognlzed the value of insect destroyi ing birds. especially the swallow species. as an ally, and call upon the people in the north as well as In the south to protect and encourage these birds and to provide nesting boxes for them.
 These birds are constant and effec- tive in their warfare against the insect host. They are benefactor to the farmer to an extent that should make their lives sacred to any one who has national or community interests at heart.
 They point out that the colonies of these birds nesting in the south will destroy greater or less number of weevil during the summer while in the fall, after the local birds have ml- grated. northern birds. as they pass through southern states, will keep up the war.
 It is urged by the department that ample protection he given insect de- strOying birds, not only from an asthe- tie. hut an economic point of view.
 If every farmer will make it point to encourage the birds. they will have done q service to the whole nation.

SATURDAY, DEC 7, 1907.

The democratic national committee will meet at Washington December 12 to select the place and date for the national convention. As the party machinery is badly out of gear in several doubtful states, and organ ization takes time and money, an early convention would seem to be advisable.

the two traffic managers of trans,

sitting Of competition in railroad
traffic.
The attorneys were Severance and
Kellogg, and the traffic managers
were ]. c. Stubb of the Southern

Both contended despite the con.

Stubbs asserted that the Union

outlet beyond Ogden over it's own
rails direct TO California. The Union
Pacific, he claimed is but a link In

BLOOD MIXTURE
Said to be Fine Remedy
Which Anyone Can
Easily Fix at Home.
DOES WORK PROMPTLY

All medical authorities are agreed
that the blood is the great source OF
disease or of health in the human
system. If the block is impure or
diseased then there is sickness or de-
cay in the whole system.
Rheumatism Is strictly a blood dis.
ease. 1t is caused by excessive uric
acid. Sores, pimples, etc. mean bad
blood. Catarrhal affections must be
treated through the blood to get per-
manent results. To get well, to feel
strong, hearty and vigorous one must
have good clean blood and lots of 1t.
You can't clean the blood thoroughly
unless the kidneys are made active.
Bad blood means clogged, inactive kid
neys and liver which causes, zoo, such
symptoms as backache, nervousness,
bladder and urinary difficulties and
other sympathetic troubles.
Here Is a simple home remedy and
the prescription for making it up is
as follows:
Fluid Extract Dandellon onehalf
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparrilla three
ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime. The in
gradients can be obtained at any good
prescription pharmacy at small cost.
Here the readers of this paper have
simple yet powerful and effective
remedy for all forms of blood, kidney
and bladder diseases which should re-
lieve rheumatism and catarrhal affec-
tions and replace that weak, worn-out
Indifferent feeling with strength, vigor
and health.
This prescription is considered a
fine system renovator and being made
of vegetable extracts only is harmless
and anyone can mix 1t at home. Try
this anyway before investing in the
secret unknown decoction of the pat
ent medicine anufacturers.

HOT REPLY
Comes From San Fran
cisco Concerning the
Jap Question.
WONT Be MUzzLED'

San Francisco, Feb. 24.-If President
Roosevelt and his Washington advis.
ers, together with the silenced Cali
fornia delegation, headed by Mayor
Schmitz, believe California is muz-
zled on the question of the Japanese
exclusion, the meeting OF the Japan
ese and Korean exclusion league last
night should dissipate that action. The
flourishing of the big stick has IN
nowise impaired California's speaking
voice.
I'VE will not be muzzled," an
nounced President o. A. Tveitmoe. 1t
was lively and emphatic meeting.
President Roosevelt and the school
delegation, singly and collectively,
were all condemned for their attitude.
1t was agreed to send a committee,
composed of President Tveitmoe, Wal
ter Macarthur, and a third man who
will be selected later, to Sacramento,
to urge that all pending legislation
relative to the Japanese question be
taken up and disposed of. This is to
be done in spite of messages which re,
turning delegates are bringing from
the president "admonishing us to be
good and keep our mouths shut" said
Macarthur.
