The Eclipse of the Moon

OF course we read in all the papers
About the good old moon in her
latest capers,
How she, on the eventful Monday
night,
Allowed herself to get in such a
plight.
The comet too was doing its level
best
To amuse' the people who were
looking west.
But away up there in the heavens
80 high,
Hung the s.lvery moon in the
starlit sky.
But this faithful old orb with her
usual bright face
Begun to frown and scrowl as il
in disgrace.
The twinkling little stars in their
glee family sang together.
While some Reubess below won
dered if
We were to have more foul wealth
er.
For this planet of such fame and
celestial birth
Was casting such a dark shadow
over old mother earth.
An old hayseed said well it beats
my times ,
Rut his great grand fathers broth-
by the name of "Grimes"
Had on just SIGH a lookin night
Seed in the heavens a similar sight
While they wer thus talking OF
the sight in the skies,
Fair Luna begun making her usual
bright eyes.
Then they begun to realize that
the moon on her trips,
Must now and then encounter what
science calls an eclipse.

ioked that as soon as he has more

change it to a Democratic paper

Looks Good for Slater

1t begins to look as IL the c. *
A. railway company will give Sla-
ter quite a boom this summer by
way of constructing a new round
house, machine shop, and perhaps
a new depot building, the last of
which especially would add much
to the comfort of the travelling
public to and from that town. The
railroad company is unloading
some heavy machinery at Slater
and C. L. Benedict, the c. & A.
agent there, has received the fol-
lowing letter from General Auditor
w. D. Tucker, at Chicago, which
is given to the public:
Chicago, May IS, 1910.
Agent,
Slater, Nc.
- Dear Sir We have recently m
tered into a contract with West
inghouse Church Kerr & Co. for
the construction of round-house
machine shop and other work at
Slater. There will be more or less
material shipped into Slater for
use in the work-bills on such ma
terial carrying G. & A. charges or
advance charges should be for
warded direct to this office.
Yours Truly,
w. d. Tucker, Gen. Auditor.
The present seeming activity Of
the C. g. A. company may be a
bluff to gain concessions of some
kind from Louisiana or other points
but it certainly looks good for
Slater at this writing.

1t is likely that a very large vote
will be polled at the state election
on account Of the prohibition
amendment to be presented the
voters if the present intention is
carried out. The people + inter-
ested in the question and are sure
to go to the polls. 1t is argued
by some that the large vote viii
benefit one party and by others
that it will be of benefit to an
other. We do not care what party
receives the benefit as long as the
voters go to the poll, vote, and
take sufficient interest to see that
their votes are honestly counted
and recorded. This is a country
where the majority is expected to
rule. We are satisfied with the
decision Of the majority, but we
want every vote cast honestly
counted. Governor Hadley has
been actively at work during his
term of office cleaning up the larg
cities of the state SO that people car
have an honest expression at the
polls. 1t is believed Missouri is to
have an honest and fair election

prohibition question or any other
question the majority should rule

perity. Being asked; do you
seriously think that agriculture is
threatened by the killing of birds?
He answered:
~ do, and yet the danger to the
country is scarcely realized. 1t is
a scientific truth vegetation will
disappear with the birds. Food
crops will go, and so will the weed
and trees. Birds were provided by
nature as a check upon insects
that live on plants, collectively and
promiscuously. When man ignor-
es the law and safeguards of ma
ture, he invariably pays a heavy
penalty. In Pennsylvania, a bounty
was voted on owls and hawks.
The farmers and their sons gayly
took guns and went forth. They
got a few dollars out of the public
treasury, but c~rop-eating rodents
established great colonies under
their corn cribs, in their granaries
and out in their fields. The boun-
ty was repealed. Hawks and owls
are shot by farmers everywhere,
although they are tireless hunters
OF rats and mice. Bird life is alb
solutely necessary to agriculture.
The prarie chickens that once fill
ed the West lived on grasshoppers
and California locusts. When they
vanished under the shotgun of man
the grasshoppers devastated whole
states at a time"
what birds in particular are
fond of In insect diet?"
"All birds, practically. You must
remember there are many kinds of
insects around and on a single tree
insects that eat the bark, insects
that eat roots and insects that
eat the leaves. Certain birds hunt
certain insects, and a variety of
birds on ones farm or in ones
garden, orchard or forest protect
the different kinds of growing veg
citation. Swallows, swifts, martins
and such birds r the day CLEAN
ers of the air. Whippoorwills and
night hawks cruise in the early
morning and at sunset for insects.
Owls hunt insects at night, as
well as MICE"
The birds have many enemies
and it is true that they have not
the protection that our town folks
and our rural folks should give
them. Thoughtless men, the pro
verbal bad boy, the common house
cat and the cruel cage in which
thousands Of birds are DESTROYED
by slow death, are some of the
worst. A worthless old tabby in
the door yard will destroy in one
season numberless young birds
which are worth more to our o
perity and comfort than all the
cats in a whole neighborhood.
We need more strict laws for
the protection of our birds and to
have them better inforced.

1t looks good in passing around

The Marshall republican., 1910-06-03

The reason why soma people
leave the farm and go to the city
lies deeper than a mere whim. 1t
cannot be overcome with a "move
ment," until that reason is remov-
ed. In a word it is, machinery.
Not until machinery began to de-
velop did the age of cities come.
The machines were located in the
towns because towns afforded bet
ter means of exchange, and the
towns were built to facilitate ex-
change. Manufacture has develop
ed abnormally, until it exceeds in
Importance farming by more than
double, and as manufacturing has
increased the cities have grown.
Manufacturing is now a matter of
monopoly, and as an inevitable re-
suit the cities rule the country.
But the cities have the machinery
of entertainment, of convenience,
OF instruction, developed more per
fectly than the country, conse-
quently they draw from the coun-
try. In that the machinery is well
developed there they + civilizers

He has today one of The most inftu-
entail and one of the brightest and

paper, the Idaho Recorder, has been
largely responsible for several big
Democratic and good government vic
tories in that section. Mr.. Frost has
accumulated d large and fine news-

be said that it is known that he has
also kept his eyes open to the advant-
ages of the land investments in the
Salmon country, which is a fine apple
growing country. About a year ago
Mr.. Frost bought a tract of raw
land near Salmon for $4,000 and Il
few weeks ago sold 1t for $4,000, a
profit that sounds like the Grand val

which he is setting out to apple trees
