1t was because he took the lead In a
very hot competition between monied
fanciers who cared nothing at all
about the utility qualities or the
fowls they bred. No fault whatever
Should be found with the fanciers'
art as a sport. Men engaged In an
occupation which requires intense ap-
plication need something by way Of

The facilities provided for re-

the strong influences tending to make
prices onerous and sometimes in a
measure prohibitive under protection.
Much that is readily accessible to all

Well Done. Democrats!

Not since Civil war days has a ses-
sion of congress been held with re-
suits so significant as those attending
the special sitting recently closed.
Rarely, if ever, in the countrys his
tory has the national lawmaking body
started on a program of legislation so
fraught with possibilities OF benefit to
the people.
More than that-neyer before have
the Democrats in that body worked
more in harmony and accord with true
Democratic principles than in the long
summer sitting.
Democracy is coming into its own.
And the results will be still further
economy in national affairs and still
greater and more complete and tri.
lmphant supremacy of those priuci-
pies which make for equal rights for
all, and special privileges for none"

she must ask him to return her photo

WATCH THE CURRENCY BILLS
congressman VIII Do Well to Have
an Eye on Legislation Proposed
by Nelson Aldrich.

The public does not realize the Inn,
portance of safeguarding the general
welfare in any legislation that may
be proposed by Nelson Aldrichs cur
rency commission. The money prob
lem is complex Every human being
in America Is interested in it,
In 1899 the stock OF gold in this
country was about $700,O00,000. In
1905 it was nearly s1.400,000.000. Dur.
ing the same period population in
creased only 20 per cent.
In 1899 national and state banks
made loans of $4,000. 100000. In 1909
their loans were s10,000,000,000.
In 1899 the issue Of national bank
notes was s237, 100000 In 1909 1t had
increased to $685., 100000. This huge
bank note issue is secured by a gold
redemption fund of SO. or $34,250, 600
Ex-senator Aldrich, as chairman of
the monetary commission, may be
counted upon to urge a currency sys-
TEN along the lines of his tariff bill
to benefit Big Business.
Congressman should examine all
currency bills with miscrosCope.
They have ample time between now
and the next regular session for such
useful work.
If the country lacks confidence in
Aldrich and regards him as cold
blooded huckster in legislation for his
own benefit and for the advantage OF
his New England mill-boss friends, he
has nobody to blame but himself.

propose any measure for the benefit
of the people

FANCY UTILITY FOWL
Poultry Shows of Great Advan-

Laying Qualities Of Chickens Lost
Sight Of In Order to Bring

(By w. I. THOMAS.l

(By w. ]. THOMAS)
Unfortunately for farmers. the
standing Of poultry breeder is not
determined by the fat stock shows
and fairs. but by a series of poultry
shows. These shows devoted to poul-
try should be to the advantage Of poul-
try keepers, and they are a great ad-
vantage to fanciers.
The disadvantage to farmers lies
In this: The fancy is primarily a
sport on the same order as a horse
race. The interest In fancy fowl is
like the interest taken in horse
race; In each case the high price
paid Is due to the intensity of the
struggle for supremacy among the
owners and not at all to the intrinsic
value Of the animals. When & race
horse sells for thousands of dollars,
1t is because he can beat the other
fellows with long purses. When the

HOUSE FLY WITHOUT FRIENDS
One Reason for Universal Dislike Is
Because Insect Loves Dirt and
Filthy Odors.
~ e. H. AH2

The house fly is hated by every.
body. He is without friends There
is q reason for the universal hate.
The fly loves dirt and filthy odors.
He dislikes sweet perfumes, sweet
smelling flowers, and so on. He dis
tributes the disease germs found on
all kinds Of filth. He Is the cause OF
number of diseases.
Every kitchen and dining room in
the land should be screened to keep
out the flies and other insect pests.
The wire gauze costs very little
money and will likely save the life OF
some one In the family. Keep the
flies off the baby IN the cradle.

You often hear the express

failures stand around and
wall that if they only had
money at a certain time they
could have made money, lots
of it. Sure thing. The burn

get the money. You will
not find it rolling up hill nor

face 1t squarely. There is
but one way if you are try

save. Start a bank account.
AS soon as you can, lay an

will bring them when the
opportunity comes to invest.
