Dear Subscriber.

There are several hundred people
who owe us at least one dollar. Or
course one dollar is a small amount
but all that is due us is quite a
sum-to US. We are needing the
money and we need it right NOW
to meet our obligations. OF course
we know that you are good and will
pay but we cannot pay our debts
with what you owe US unless you
do the right thing and pay up. Our
necessity is the only reason we call
your attention to this matter Please
do not put us to the unnecessary
expense of having to send you a
dun and if we should send you one
you have no reason to get mad. We
get them and 20 does every other
business man. We will greatly ap-
preciate it if at least 500 people
will each come in with one or more
dollars and please let US have what
is due before you forget it.

Electoral Ruling is Asked.

Washington, April 10. = A ruling
from the department of justice as
to whether the electoral college
that will choose the next president
of the United States shall consist
of 400 or 531 members had been
asked for by members of the house
committee on judiciary.
Political activity in both parties
has proceeded on the assumption
that the largest number was cor
rect but this now is questioned on
the ground that the reappointment
of congress does not become effect
i've until March a next. The, ques-
ton has created considerable con-
fusion but it will not affect the con-
ventions as the national commit
tees fixed the number of delegates
arbitrarily in accordance with the
new appointments.

Protecting the Quail.

The increase of insect pests of all
sorts is emphasizing more and
more the importance of protecting
misunderstanding birds. Of these,
the quail is one of the most valua-
BILE. How two Missouri farmers
saved quail during the past winter
is described in a St. Louis paper as
follows: Norman Barber, a Linn
county farmer, is one among many
who has taken care of the birds dur
ing the past winter, and has filed
no charge for his work. Mr.. Barber
has a wood pasture of forty acres
near his house, and last fall he pre-
pared shelters by arranging the
brush in such way that by throw
ing straw, hay and kafir corn over
it, he made several splendid shell
tiers in different parts of this wood
land. The result was that several
cOveys of quail sought shelter from
the snow and sleet under these
well-provised shelters. Mr.. Barber
scattered corn, wheat, cane katir
corn and other seeds so as to attract
the quail, and by so doing he at
traCted d great many other seed
eating birds, and to 60 up there
through his woodland pasture you
enjoy being in a veritable bird par
adise. The work of this game pro-
tector has proved a good lesson to
the other farmers, and since the
snow has left we find the quail do
ing we'll on farms where they have
been protected. E. c. Bush has
carefully looked after the birds on
his farm, made shelters for them,
and scattered seeds for them, and
today you can count as many as
seventy-five quail in his woodland
pasture. The work of these gentle.
men proves a good lesson to all ad.
vocates of game protection, and we
trust that the farmers throughout
the state of Missouri will learn tc
protect the quail. song and insectiv'
orous birds so necessary to the
growing and protection of grain:
and fruit.
