WAR AGAINST WOOD PIGEON.

Naturalists in this country have
called attention frequently to the al
most complete extinction of the wood
pigeon. The conditions seem to be
the opposite in Deyonshire, England,
where the birds are so numerous as
to be a great pest to farmers. War
was recently declared on them, and
six thousand residents, according to
the London Express, enlisted in a
one-day shotgun crusade to reduce
the nuisance. Says the Express:
"The battlefield covered the whole
county. In every one of its five hun
dren or six hundred parishes farm
ers, gamekeepers, hunting men and
other sportsmen Joined forces against
the agriculturistS' enemy. 1t is esti-
mated that six thousand men en-
gagged In reducing the plague"

When you suffer from any form Of
indigestion it is always well to take
something for the liver, as usually the
trouble lies there. If you are bilious,
have a bloated feeling after eating, if
you belch, if your skin is yellowish
you may be sure it is liver trouble.
What you need is something to stir
up the liver, to arouse the gastric
juices so that they will aid in the d.
gestion of your food. A very good
remedy for this, and one highly rec
commended by those who have used
it, is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which you can obtain of any druggist
at fifty cents or one dollar a bottle.
But if you have any doubt about its
merits, and would prefer to try it
first, send your address to DR.. Cald-
well and he will promptly send you a
free sample bottle.

NEW USE FOR ELECTRICITY
Current Is Now Being Utilized for the
Purpose Of Securing Larger
Chickens.

At a chicken farm near London a
scientific expert is conducting the ex-
pertinent of rearing chickens by cleo
tricity, the object being to raise
larger birds. High frequency cleo
tricity is used. AS this is the kind
used in wireless, it happens that
whas sounds at first like mad mes
sages is being widely distributed to
the perplexity of regular stations
and numerous amateur operators.
The electrified chickens are treated,
it is said, with about five thousand
volts, the current alternating from
positive to negative ten thousand
times a second. Some effect" says
the experimenter, "seems to have
been to make the electrified chickens
pugnacious, pickering among them
selves to a reprehensible extent, the
unelectrifed ones remaining perfect
ly placid. The reason is probably
that this exuberance Of spirit is the
result of the effect of the electrity
on the blood, which possibly has been
made to flow more freely through
the brain, and, of course, the other
organs as well. 1t appears to be
something like feeding them with
oxygen, but without any i'll after eff
The electricity is similar to that
lsed in wireless telegraphy and the
hickens do not feel it any more than
wireless operators. The message
out by the chicken electrfying
installation is a continuous buzzing
cry insistent in tone and seeming

The occasion for which the girls

gathered together all Of the promi-

philanthropist from the city with
whom Mr.. Iverson loved to meet and
discuss financial matters with the
hope of a clew which might bring
more dollars.
He cared little what his daughters
wore, for no one noticed them, at
least no one in whom he was inter-
ested. Their old gowns were surely
good enough for the people Of the
town.
But Gloria and Beverly and Beth
loved pretty things, not only for
their own sake, but because Of the
three men who had wooed and won
them.
When Gloria told her plan to her
lover, he was doubtful Of it's success.

REGARDING FARMER
And His Relations to the Mer-
chant-What May Be Ex-
pacted if a Law is En-
acted.

peiIed II q Law is En-
acted.
The parcels post question is
now before the country, and ar
gnments for and against it ar,
being made by those interested
There r many things that car
be said on both sides and to aid
in a proper understanding the
arguments used against the meas.
ure are here given
The advocates Of the rural par.
cells post claim that this system
Of merchandise transportation
would enable the farmer to have
small packages of merchandise
delivered at his mail box quickly
and cheaply.
No one disputes this-but there
are two more sides to the ques-
ton. Here is one;
Every rural delivery carrier is
now authorized to carry mer-
chandise parcels weighing over
four pounds from your farm to
town or from town to your farm
and you, or the town man, pay
the carrier whatever you agree
is right. The proposed postage
charge would average much more
than what you pay under the
present system Of local delivery.
Now there is no maximum weight
limit, for the carrier can take
anything for you that he is able
to carry, but il is proposed to
Limit the weight to eleven pounds
only. This would greatly cur
tail the delivery privileges now
open to every farmer who de-
sires to use them, and make de-
livery cost him more than under
the present method.
Here is another side of the
question-the side seer by your
good friends, the home mer-
chants:
Big city merchants of all kinds
would be quick to seize the rural
parcels post as a delivery outlet
through the use of local agents,
to whom parcels would be ship
ped in large quantities by express
on freight for deposit in the To-
cal postoffice and delivery by
rural carriers. There is alb
solutely no way in which this
could be prevented.
The opportunity thus afforded
these mail order houses for the
development Of a gigantic trust
is a most serious menace to the
farmers welfare. Every neces-
of life could in time be mo-
nopolized through the operation
IF this government postal sub
taxed against all the peo-
and applied for the benefit
n the mail order trust. Already
Wall Street sees the trend of
vents, and "big business" has
become interested in fostering
financing the parcels post
agitation. It's appetite has
,een stimulated by the results
# the past few years, which
AVE enabled one mail order
louse to pay an annual dividend

They do not give you credit, q
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1912-04-05

and they give you neither SYM
pathy nor help when misfortune
comes. These big city merchants
have absolutely no interest in
you, excepting to get hold of as
many dollars as they can and give
as little return therefor as pos
sible.
Furthermore, the big city mer-
chants do not help in any way to
maintain and build up the home
market for your products that
enables you to get spot cash or
its, equivalent for everything
you have to sell. Your loca-
ton near such a town increases
the value of your farm and
makes that farm easy to sell at
full value whenever you desire.
You appreciate the fact that
the farmer trade keeps up the
country towns and that any
system-such as the parcels post
which viii divert the farmer
trade from the country town TO
the big city will ruin the coun-
try town.
If the country town is ruined
the farmers home market will
be destroyed or at least very
seriously impaired. Property
values in the country towns
would certainly depreciate as
store after store was forced out
OF business, and greater burdens
of taxation would be placed up
on the farmers over burden
ed shoulders. Lack Of funds
raised by taxation would curtail
the schools of the country town.
Churches now so largely sup
ported by the home merchants
could no longer be kept sup
Piled with minister's unleee +ba
farmer members heavily in
creased their contributions. Pub
spirit would be destroyed,
institutions would suffer
and public improvements become
a thing Of the past.
The plain fact is that the I'M
of the farmer and the
home merchant are mutual. They
ire partners in the business of
production and distribution
the upbuilding and mainten-
lnce of the best possible home
market. And the best home
market is one that buys every
hing the farmer has to sell at
Op market prices, and sells him
verything he needs at fair COM
'etitive prices.
Therefore, Mr.. Farmer, stand
y your home merchants now as
GU would expect them to stand
y you. In doing this you are
observing your own best inter-
sts.-Post, Sheridan, Wyo.
