LOSS TO GENERAL BUSINESS.

One-half of the pack which is on 500 600
cases. if seining had not been allowed.
LOSS TO GENERAL BUSINESS.
If we make careful estimate of the
loss to our State by the passing of the
business interests will suffer. Viz: The
shook manufacturer and labor of making
100000 shocks at $50 per thousand, So, ,O00
The transportation and labor on handling
the shocks will amount to s. per thou
sand, $4s0O. Then the trucking and trans
portation of the manufactured goods will
at 20 cents per case be a loss of $4,000.
The tin plate, oil. etc. will have to be
carried by our ManeIbuilt steamships or
railroads and they will certainly miss the
carrying of these 500. 900 cases If the Mayo
bill is passed sts.
Then the manufacturer of mustard
sauce will have to suffer a loss Of so per
cent. OF the capacity of plant and besides
there is a loss to labor. Then in the
handling of 100000 cases at factories we
find another loss to labor alone of $40O,0 900.
We come to the fishermen.
Basing our figures on the cost Of nsh
per case for the year 1910 we find loss
TO the fishermen of 35 cents per case on
$4,000 cases. $3.50, 900. We must further
take into consideration our cold storage
plants and deep water fishermen. By the
passing of the Mayo bill it means disaster
to the cold storage plants and distress to
our deep water fishermen. lobster fisher
men and families.
Besides the losses mentioned there are
minor interests too numerous to mention
that would be hurt by the passing of the
Mayo bill.
The summary of the loss mentioned We
find to be. viz:
Shook Mfg. and labor ...............S "a, 600
TRANSFORMATION Co. and labor on
shocks Observation-Disclosures. 1900
Transportation and trucking man.
] ufactured goods ............. l60. ono
Eastern freight on 500. 900 cases.. 10000
tard sauce .......................... 10000
Labor on fish at factories ........... 400, 0D0

Loss of Appetite.

A person that has lost appetite mas
lost something bcsidcs-vitality, vigor,
tcne.
The way to recover appetite and all
that goes with it is to take HOODS
Sarsaparilla-that strengthens the
stomach, perfects digestion and makes
eating pleasure.
Thousands take it for spring loss of
appetite and everybody saws there's
nothing else SO good as Hoods.

SPARE THE QUAIL.
Ii Rot You Get Only What Is
Coming to You,

Samuel Jordon gives the fol
lowing advice to the farmers:
Many letters are now coming
from different sections of the
state asking for sick chinch
bugs, bugs inoculated with dis
ease that spread among other
chinch bugs and "bustS mp his
bugship.' They report these
bugs doing great mischief and
they desire to know what can be
done. These folks have waited
too long or have destroyed the
best remedy. \ large percentage
of our crops are destroyed each
year by insects that might not oc.
cur were it not for our wantor
destruction of the insect eating
birds. 1t is estimated that we
needlessly kill enough of these
birds each year Just for hat
feathers and to make taste OF
food or for sport or "cuSscdncSS
that, if spared, would save an
enormous loss. This cost is eSti
mated at so a year for each per
son in the nation.
Our friend, Bob White, is about
the only bird that will eat tn,
chinch bug, but we have bust
ed Bob. as we desire to eat him
The chiuch bugs as a result ar,
having the time of their lives.
Bob White would do more for u
/ in this line of business than al
/ the bilious bugs in creation.
And, now, my farmer friend
You are not doing your duty f,
yourself, to your community no
to Bob White unless You protec
him. Don't you kill him auO
don t let any one else do so. You
crop and the good of the comnu
nifty Shuld have consideration.

proved. The colored people have
no complaint to make, but, on

ner of fair dealing. Wherever he
thinks colored people arc entitled
