You can easily observe from the

it is very essential that those who

next fall look the matter up at once

lists. If you have not one of the

The management Of the fair asso-
citation is offering some very liberal
prizes in this contest and have given
it a great deal Of their careful at.
tention and liberal consideration and
believe that if our young people in
the county will take hold of this con
test properly they will realize n great
deal Of benefit regardless Of the cash
prizes offered by the fair association.
The cash prizes themselves are well
worth quite an effort both for the
money received and the satisfaction
and honor that goes with the capture
of such a prize.

No Rest
Day or Night

Il would lay awake for hours
without any apparent cause, or
dream terrible dreams which
would bring on extreme spell,
of nervousness. After taking
DR.. Miles Nervinc and Tonic
for awhile I could sleep well,
and the nervous spells have left
me-" MISS ALMA HUG,
r. r, No. a, Canal Dover, Ohio.
Without sleep the nervous
system soon becomes a wreck,
and the healthful activity OF all
the organs obstructed. Restfu.,
bodybuilding sleep accompanies
the use of DR.. Miles Nervine
because it soothes the irritable
nerves, and restores nervous
energy. When taken a few days
according to directions, the most
restless sufferer will find sleep
natural and healthful. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

reach the scene of the blaze, they or

in a box car loaded with lumber and
shingles that had been started out on
its way east from the Larson Lumber

blaze. The firemen made run for the
scene but were unable to get water on
the fire. The result was that Assist

men to attach an engine, haul the car
to the city. and then with his men he
soon got the fire under control. TINS

Is NOW ON TO PRO-
TECT FEATHERED INSECT
EATERS OF NATION.
Three Billions of Dollars Damage Is
Done Annually to Crops as Re-
suit of Bird Killing.

NEW YORK, May 21.-PrOtectiOn Of
the insect eating birds, whose destruc-
ton caused a crop loss Of almost a
bill. on dollars to this country in the
last year, will be made a campaign is
sue throughout the nation as the re-
suit Of a general movement which was
organized in this city today. Backed
by the oranges and other bodies rep
resenting the farmers, Orchardists,
ranchmen and planters of every sec
ton of the land, theNatiOnal AssOcia-
ton Of Audubon societies is preparing
to obtain from every present and pros
pective representative of the people N
every state in the union definite dec
ton of the conservation of the bird
resources Of the commonwealth. Where
the forces of the milliners have been
able to exert political pressure to le-
galize their poaching upon the feath-
pie will rise this year to demand that
their own interests be protected, it
was declared by leaders of this new
campaign today.
Representing an industry valued at
less than $12, 100000. a few Broadway
feather dealers have just succeeded in
defeating in this state the Francis bill
for the protection of the insect-eating
birds, behind which agricultural in
terests worth over half a million dol
of the united efforts of the $4,000
farmers represented in the state
grange and the Audubon workers, who
were backed by the press and people
of almost every community in the
state, it was reported today that the
hiring of a lawyer whose political
influence was undoubtedly used to pre-
vent anv open consideration of the bill
on the floor of either branch of the
legislature" had with other machina-
tions of the milliners resulted in lega-
liz:ng for another year their traffic
in property that belongs to the state.
AS a first step in the general natlonal
for the birds who guard the
crops. the record of each legislator
on this matter will be submitted TO
his constituents and every effort made
TO secure from each district in this
state representatives at Albany next
wear who will be pledged to heed TINS
strong demand from their agricultural
supporters.
California, Missouri and Oklahoma
have lust reported as adopting laws
defending their bird crop guards
against the ravages of the feather
dealers. which are substantially the
same AS the bill which the milliners
have Just strangled in this state. ST.

of the plumage, skin or body
