This is the Reason

Quaker Oats is made from the cream Of the
oats The finest oats that grow are siited 90
times to pick out the grains for Quaker.
We get only ten pounds Of Quaker Oats from
a bushc-Just the rich, plump, luscious grains
The result is flavor that is never forgotten
And our process keeps that flavor intact
Once eat Quaker Oats, and lesser oatmeal
seems fiat and commonplace.

First Independenoe Day in Illinois.

July 4th has been selected by the
suffragists of Chicago as a fitting day
To celebrate the passing of the law
permitting them to vote on the sarne
terms with men on all questions and
Offices excepting those provided for in
the State constitution. They have
planned tremendous outdoor demon
stration which is expected to show
not only the thankfuness of the wo-
men for the granting of the franchise,
but also their pride in Illinois as a
State, which has taken long step
toward being real democracy. The
bill will become law on July LIST. Gov
ernor Dunno, when asked his opinion
of the suffrage measure, said, Il will
sign the equal suffrage bill. This
means a triumph for clean politics in
Illinois" Illinois has % electoral
votes while the nine equal suffrag
States have altogether only 56 cleo

The prospects of bird shooting in
Maine next fall are of the best, ac-
cording to County Commissioners
George H. Harthorn of Penobscot
county. who has been making obser-
yations in the brush. He says: i
was out the other day, over the, same
territory that | cruised few weeks
ago and ] was astonished at the IN
dications of good bird shooting which
| saw. / couldn't begin to say how
many focks of partridge chicks |
scared up, but there were lot oil
them and there were full broods in
each flock, too. They would fill the
air for a few moments in getting
away from us and | look TO see the
best fall shooting we have had for
many. many years. You know there
is a current idea very generally ac-
cepted, that a very wet or very cold
spring, seriously affects the life OF the
chicks, which are so very sensitive to
changes and have to run the gauntiet
of big lot of enemies before they
grow up. Now, | don't agree with
these ideas, | have an idea of my
own 1t is this: You have noticed
that partridge chicks are very scarce
in those summers which follow
spring of frequent and heavy thunder
storms and ] believe that this phe-
nomenon has just as much to do with
retarding the Matching of partridge
chicks as with hen chicks. rms
spring, you know, we have been ex~
ceedingly free from electrical dis
turbances and this, in my view, is
the reason why there are now so
many big broods of energetic and
healthy partridge chicks.
