MAJOR HITS SINGLE TAX.
Missouri's Attorney General Makes
Old Time Democratic Talk to
Crowd of Enthusiastic
Supporters.

Attorney General Major opened
the Democratic campaign in Bates
county Saturday afternoon when he
addressed an enthusiastic Democratic
meeting in the court house in this
city.
1t was General Majors intention tc
speak at Butler, Adrian and Rich
Hill, but on account of a failure tc
make the proper connections he was
unable to reach Adrian.
Declaring himself to be unequivo.
cally opposed to the proposed single
tax amendment, General Major placed
himself upon a platform which un-
doubtedly makes him the logical gu
bernatorial candidate for the farmer
of Missouri. In stating his opposition
to this proposition, he said that he
was thoroughly familiar with the op-
Grafton and the effects of our present
system Of taxation and expressed him
self as opposed to any proposition to
alter our laws at the expense of the
land owner.
Mr.. Major began his remarks with
tribute to the time in which he
spent his boyhood, painting beauti-
full word picture of the sweet simplic-
ity of the time, and giving reminis-
censes of his own life, among these,
his beginning in the practice of law in
the the office Of Champ Clark.
In dealing with National issues,
General Major attacked the protective
tariff, showing its effects upon the
prices of the necessities of life, and
also showed the enormous percent
ages of profit which the tariff allows
the manufacturer to realize at the ex-
pense of the consumer.
Taking up State issues, he flayed
the administration of Governor Had
ley and held up for ridicule his utter
inconsistencies in the administration
of his office, touching among other
things, upon the padded registration
lists in st. Louis, which became so
notorious in the election of 1910.
In touching upon his own official
career as the attorney general of the
state of Missouri, Mr.. Major stated
that his record was an open book and
that he is willing and anxious that
the people of Missouri should know
Of the manner in which he fulfilled
his duties, and briefly outlined his
four years record.
In conclusion, General Major stated
that although he is a candidate for
Governor, he is Democrat first, and
he desires the party to nominate the
strongest candidate and the one best
fitted to administer the duties of that
office, and stated that he had no fault
to find with any other candidate.

Missouri Negro Dying Out.

Jefferson City, April l5.-The re-
port of Frank B. Hitler, state regis
trar, and secretary of the state board
of health, shows there were GIFTS
births in Missouri in February and
4,O62 deaths. The birth rate was
nineteen to the thousand population,
while the death rate was only 1873
thousand.
The statistics show that ninety
more negroes died in February than
were born, although the complete
list of births !may not have been for
warded. This adds strength to the
belief that the negroes Of Missouri
are decreasing steadily and that this
has been going on for the last decade.
VIM. P. Evans, state superintendent
of public schools, in his annual report
comments on the fact that the num-
Der of negro children of school age
has been decreasing in the last ten
years.
tuberculosis shows heavier NOR
tality among negroes than whites. Of
all deaths which occurred among
them 1921 per cent were from tuber-
culosis. while the average for the
state for this disease is but 1858 per
cent.
Kansas City reported 433 births
and 376 deaths for February.

A variety of feed will stimulate the
hen to her greatest egg production.
Most chicken coops are too small
and close and too inconvenient to
clean.
Don't crowd the chickens in warm
weather, and don't put those of differ
ent ages together.
Contrary to what we are often led
to believe, turkey raising is not bus
mess to take care of itself.
The houses must be kept clean and
the hens must be free from lice If the
best results are to be obtained.
Lack of moisture in the incubator is
one of the common causes of chicks
failing to break out of the she'll.
Great size of an abdominal pouch
in a goose indicates great age, fact
that is useful in purchasing breeding
stock.
The beginner in poultry business u.s.
ually has his hopes and expectations
too high. This accounts for most OF
the failures.
The smaller the quarters the great
er the care. Crowded fowls are much
more liable to become affected with
vermin and disease.
1t is claimed that in laying an egg,
the pullet parts with about one Goth
part, by weight, of the total solid nu-
triment of it's own body.
The correct mating is eight to fif-
teen hens for each cockerel. The
smaller the breed the more hens may
be allowed to each rooster.
A broiler should be short in head;
broad, deep and full in breast; small
in comb (rose or peal; and a pound,
and half to two pounds in weight.
Before the breeding season begins
the chickens should be carefully
culled and graded. Only the strong
est and most desirable should be
saved.
For the benefit of the egg-sucking
dog try soaking some eggs in a solu-
ton of lye strong enough so grains
will form on the shell. Then leave
them in Fido's way.

Thirty horsemen in the raiding

returning from dance. Believing
the Spaniards were jubilant over the
disaster that had befallen them, and
they had placed a "venemous poison"

ceeded to kill everybody in sight.
During the fight thirteen of the
dancing party were killed and scores
wounded. Two or three bandits were
cut up, but escaped with their COM

NOT HARD TO RAISE TURKEYS

(By MRS. c. R. JONES.l

(By MRS. c. r. JONES.)
Turkey poults are not especially
hard to raise if they are from vigor-
GUS stock and are properly taken care
of. Above all things else, don't over
feed them, see that they are kept free
from lice, keep them from getting wet
when small, and make them rustic"
for their living. To rid them of lice,
should they become lousy, paint the
bottom of a deep box with liquid lice
killer and put the poults into it. Cover
the top of the box with cloth, but
be very careful not to smother the
birds. 1t is well to leave part of the
top uncovered, as the fumes of the
lice killer are pretty strong. After
they have been in the box for short
time, take them out and dust with
some good lice powder. Eternal Wig
ilance is the price of success in turkey
culture.
