A dozen eggs weigh about a pound
Where there is rural delivery the far
mer can ship directly 10 the city con-
sumner in packages provided at small
cost for this service. The postage on
a doze eggs will be 5 cents and /
cent additional for each additional
dozen up to eleven pouniS, the total
cost of which will be Is cents. If
the farmer is not on rural delivery
route, he may still ship to the city
by sending them to the nearest post
office. The rate within the 50-mlle
zone will be cents Tor the first
pound and 8 cents for each additional
pound up to the limit There is a slight
increase in cost with the increase in
distance.
What effect the parcels post will
have on the cost Of commodities which
can be easily handled by the post
Office is a matter of speculation; but,
at least, the plan will give the farmer
an opportunity to get into direct
touch with the consumer, and it should
benefit both. The hope from the par
GELS post system, however, must rest
on the willingness of the small pro-
Queer to take advantage Of it.

IN BEHALF OF BIRDS.
Miss Katherine H. Stuart Asks For
Protection fInsces:verous
Ones.

| Miss Katherine H. Stuart, of Alex
andria, Field Agent of the Virginia
Audubon Society, who is deeply inter-
ested in the preservation of birds, has
received COPIES of circular which has
been issued by the committee on wild
life protection Of the Fourth National
Conservation Congress.
The circular shows the effect on the
dinner pail through the widespread
destruction of migratory birds and
consequent increase in the insesf
hordes. Request has been made of all
American newspapers to give pub
licity to the matter so that farmers
| and fruit growers may be brought to
a realization of the seriousness Of tie
situation and Congress appealed to for
relief.
According to statistics issued by the
Department of Agriculture, which are
set forth in the committees circular,
insect pests costs the nation about
$42O, 100000 year.The value of tn"
birds destroyed for "game" and for
flood" would not equal one one-thou-
sandth of the value they save to the
national wealth. if permitted to live
and to wage war on the insects, it is
stated
Regarding the slaughter of our
birds, the increase of insect pests
and the losses they inIicr upon US.
the great mass of American people
are sound asleep" the circular states.
The situation is illogical absurd and
intolerable. As reasoning beings, 1t is
our duty to take hold of the subject
like men, stop the abuse, stop the dis
grace and avoid some of the loss"
Among the birds sought to be pro-
tected by the federal law are song
birds, swallows, woodpeckcrs, black
birds, quail, doves and nighthawks.
Protection of game birds alone will
not answer, it is pointed out. The bills
before Congress were introduced by
Representative Weeks, of Massachu-
sets, Representative Anthony, OF
Kansas, and Senator Mclean, of Con-
necticut.
The Weeks and Anthony measures
provide for protection of migratory
game birds only, but the Mclean bill
goes a step farther by including ali
migratory and insectiverous birds.
"The next session of Congress is
a short session, ending March 4"
states the circular. The people OF
the nation should call upon all their
senators and representatives to take
up the Mclean bill as an emergency
measure and railroad it through be-
fore March 4. If enough constituents
demand this, it will be done. Now
is the time to do something practical
and get tangible result"

SYMPATHY FOR ALIENS.

We have but little patience with
the wave of sympathy for the Aliens,
who are facing the death chair, which
is reported by several newspapers III
the Southwest. Two of these newspa-
pers having caught the sympathetic
fire of their surroundings, utter a
protest against their execution,
though they have had a painstaking
trial and were given every oppor-
tunity to prove their innocence.
One newspaper goes so far as to
declare that the original offense OF

Comment by eminent Dem

Gov. Thomas r. Marshall of
Indiana l was vastly pleased to
lear Gov. Wilson say that with
out abating one jot of Demo
cratic doctrine the party pro
poses to 90 about curing the
public ills as a physician and not
as a surgeon. | am convinced
hat the u~tterances of Gov. VIII
son will hearten the oppressed
without dismaying the business
nan.
Charles R. Crane, Vice-Chair-
nan Of the General Finance Com
mittee; / think that the people
are to be congratulated both on
the kind of a candidate they
have and the kind of a cam
paign he is making. His plan
of campaign is as important as
the man himself. The crowd
of people that is behind him does
not want him to be under any
obligation except to the people as
a whole. The man himself on
one side and his freedom from
obligation on the other are both
inspiring,
Gov. Emmett O'Neal of Ala

speech was the clearest and most
powerful presentation of Dem
ocratic principles made in a
quarter of a century. His ar

guments will convince the coun-
try that we have a leader worthy
of the confidence and support
of every patriotic American.
Gov. John A. Dix Of New
York; The Governor speech
was a straight and courageous
utterance on our vital problems.
It gave evidence of an ideal
statesman. The party has every
reason to be proud of its can
didate.
Gov. William H. Mann of Vir-
ginia: The speech was wise,
conservative and comprehensive;
a prophecy not only Of Demo
cratic success, but of Democratic
supremacy for years to come.
Gov. Frederick w. Plaisted of
Maine: 1t is a splendid presen-
tation of the issues for the
American people. 1t rings true
in every sentence and in every
word. 1t is the address of a
statesman.
Gov. Eugene Foss of Mass
a%chusetts: It was an admirable
presentation of the real issues
upon which the campaign viii
be fought, 1t is bound to
strengthen Gov, Wilson among
the thinking people Of the coun-
try.
Gov. George w. Donaghey of
Arkansas; 1t will ring through
the country. 1t is just what he
should have said. The people
have never felt more confidence
in success since the first nomina-
ton Of Grover Cleveland.
Judge Martin j. Wade of Iowa:
For the first time since the
State was admitted to the Union,
Iowa will this year give its cleo
toral vote to the Democratic nom
inee for President.
John ]. McGraw, National
Committeeman from West Vir-
ginia: Gov. Wilson'S speech
is the greatest political pro-
nunciamentO since Lincoln. 1t
will become a historic document.
1t is the utterance Of a great
political economist.
Senator-Elect Ollie James Of
Kentucky, Chairman of the Mott
fication Committee 1t was a
wonderfully strong speech,
breathing the spirit Of the peo-
pie.

COUNTIES MAY
BUY IN LAND
Judge MCGee UphOlds Right of
Counties :, Buy Property
Sold for Taxes.

Pierre, Jan. IA recent de-
cision of Judge McGee, on q case
in the sixth circuit, in which he
sat on special call, is of great
deal Of interest to practically every
county Of the state. Ths point at
issue was the right of counties to
take title to tracts of land which
had been bid in by he county at
the annual tax sales. Nearly every
county of the state was holding
tax certificates against property
which had been bid in by the
counties where private bidders did
not care to take title. The last
legislative session male provisions
by which such counties could take
title to such property as could an
individual, by the proper notice of
publication, and completion OF
the necessary steps to that end.
a number Of the counties took
the earliest possible opportunity
to carry this law into effect, among
them Hughes county. Parties
claiming original title to the tracts
affected went into court to stop ac-
ton, as sc long as the county had
tax titles to their tracts, and no
effort at clearing them was made.
they could dodge the payment of
any tax on the tracts. The cases
were heard by Judge McGee, and
his decision which has just been
handed down sustains the action
of the county officials, and the va
lidity OF the enactment in all its
details. This if sustained by the
supreme court will mean that
counties will clear their records of
tracts, some of which have been
carried for years, and give them
the revenue instead of allowing
the owners to carry their proper
ty clear Of expense.
