above seems to be hitting the
MINER on account of its defense of
the city's reputation in our article
last week, we feel called upon to
say that Ely as a mining town is
not bound to be worse" and is
just as far superior morally to any
other townof its character or any
farming town the Rev. gentleman
can name, as cream is superior to
whey. Statistics prove there are
less criminal actions in the courts
from this city than from any other
city of like population in the coun-
try. No woman has ever, to our
knowledge, been insulted on the
streets of the city; no hoidups have
ever occurred; no robberies COM
1nitted of any consequence; we
know of no gambling being con-
Quoted nor has there been any
proof furnished of the existence of
questionable resorts. These are
the things that give city an un-
savory name and classifes them as
good" or bad"

Farrell to believe that we consider
ed he had committed crime in
asking the questions, he is mis-
taken. In the first place we do not
consider the mayor or the council
or the Judge public servants any
more than do we consider the
president of the United States or
Governor Eberhart public servants.
They are put at the head of affairs
to facilitate the work of the people
and not to act as catspaws to jump
and cavort to the whim of each and
every man with grievance. Nei-
ther do we consider a minister a
public servant. He is also the boss
of his business and does not submit
his work to his congregation before
its completion. The ballots of the
people of the city or congregation
tell whether the regime has been
satisfactory or not. Were these
officers not bosses, each and every
Tom, Dick or Harry could
bounce" them without hearing.
If wrong has been committed or
if these parties are derelict in their
duties as laid down by the laws of
the city, state or nation, they are
open to charges and removal upon
conviction. Well-meaning criti-
cism and counsel are helpful to any
man and are not considered i'm
pertinent. Yelled accusations how
ever, are not criticism.
The adage of smoke and fire.
holds good here as elsewhere. AS
the majority here see no smoke, it
is plainly evident there is no fire
in the opinion of the majority.
Still, one man may be able to see
smoke sometimes where the balance
may be blinded and not able to see
anything. Good citizenship and
an innermost desire to do good to
your fellow man demands that the
fire alarm be turned in and the
origin of the smoke investigated
If there is a fire it will be taken
care of by those delegated to handle
fire. If there is a wholesale in
fraction of the laws here and any
one knows of it, it is their duty to
bring it to the attention of those
charged with upho1ding the law
and it will be investigated and such

keys do not bring two or even three times the
eight cents that Uncle Sans expert has set down
as figure that will yield a profit. OF course,
the farmer who sell his turkeys direct to
housewives can get from 25 cents per pound up
according to the state of the market and the
quality of the fowl-but even the growers who
market through commission merchants as most
of them do ought to net from 16 to 20 cents pei
pound providing the sales agent is not allowed
TO pocket more than his share of the sales price.
OF course, for the grower to net 20 or "a cents a

In the markets catering to the wealthy class in
the large cities.
Recent years have witnessed a change in the
methods OF shipping turkeys to market. Many
fowl are yet hauled to town, as in days of old in
the farmers wagon, but the largest share of the
turkeys for city markets are now shipped by ex
press. Just at Thanksgiving time when turkeys
are coming to market in carload lots many OF
the birds make the journey by fast freight, but
under such conditions a man must be sent along
with each car load to feed the BIRDS so that In
the end 1t is likely to be just as cheap to send
the birds by express, the transit thus being &C
complished in few hours and no feeding en-
route being necessary. To carry out the present
day policy OF haste in transferring the turkeys

trucks waiting at the railroad stations to receive

ties that he is mighty glad when the turkeys can
snlft for themselves-to say nothing of the bene-

try raisers, 1t may be added are about the only
classes In our national community who never
heed give thought to bird for the home table
on Thanksgiving. There is always some sort of
a turkey for the gathering round the festive board
at the homestead We may digress for a moment,
TOO. TO add that in late years there has come q
great change In sentiment the part of many
OF the farmers as to the Thanksgiving turkeys
for their tables. In days gone by there
was often disposition to regard almost any old
gopher as sufhcient for the home folks All the
choice birds were sent to market because they
would bring the best prices, and the farmer and
his nousehoid not infrequently had to put up

as greater prosperity has come to SO many of
the farmers there Is growing disposition to re-
gard the best as none too good for the kings of
the SOIL and this applies to turkeys as to every.

progressive farmer to retain one of his tenderest
birds for the kith and kin that break bread with
MIN on thanksgiving, and not infrequently the

There has been much discussion on the mart of
the public In recent years regarding the compare.
tive scarcity of small turkeys-that is six to eight
pound birds-in the Thanksgiving market There
is no difficulty in fixing the responsibility for this
disappearance of the small turkeys 1t is due to
the growing tendency among turkey raisers to
devote their best efforts to the "bronze" variety
of fowl-the largest variety of the bird The
lure of the American love of bigness has made
itself felt In the turkey realm and the 30 to 36

1t must be admitted, however that the bronze
variety Of turkey not only holds the post OF honor
because OF its size and its rich plumage but Also
In the estimation OF many epicures, because of its
flavor as we'll. There Is no doubt that the size of
the bronze variety-its standard weight ranges
from 16 to 36 pounds-is to be attributed to the
fact that the birds Of this family originated from
a cross between the wild and the tame turkey
For that matter, the wild turkey OF North Amer
lea was the ancestor of all our presentday do
nestle turkeys, but the crosses which have
been made In the of the bronze variety have
been particularly fortunate in inducing mammoth
size. However, of tho officials of the depart.
ment OF agriculture recently declared that the
bronze turkey had been developed too much in
the direction OF size, and II he can convert the
turkey raisers to his way of thinking we may
see some years hence of smaller bronze
turkeys of even finer flavor than those regarding
which such enthusiasm has been manifested by
lovers of the good things OF life
Or course the yaunted bronze variety Is not the
whole thing In turkeydom. for there are six other
standard varieties, the branches of the family In
addition to the bronze, being, the Narragansett,
the bun. the slate the white and the black.
Many people who think that we have been en-
5oying pretty appetizng turkey from time out of
mino may be surprised to learn that the prestige
or the turkey as an article of food was seriously
threatened few years ago through carelessness
and lack or foresight in breeding methods Not
much was said about 1t. except In the poultry
papers and at the conventions OF poultry raisers
but the menace was sufficient to arouse the more
progressive turkey raisers, with the result that
they mended their ways, put ban on inbreed-
ing and went in for the purebred or standard
bred turkey, with the welcome outcome that rich
new vigorous blood made its influence felt in
infusing strength and vigor in turkey focks all
over the country

from the time the turkey is six weeks old he
virtually makes his own livelihood, wandering
around and eating bugs, grasshoppers, waste

the fancy turkey rasers are credited with fatten-

regular quotation to recompense them for their
trouble.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. 1 would scratch those places
until they would bleed before l could
get any relief Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh un-
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep,
and I would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it "dry
eczema" / used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but it did no good
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, felt anxious
to try to head it off. / got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what needed.
"The disease was making great
headway on my system until l got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt
any of it's pest, and am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. l always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and I hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
