RUcKiNG THE BUZZ SAW.

An interesting friend who has read
the Iowa game warden's notification OF
the federal law against spring shoot
ing and that the federal authorities
propose to appeal from Hinshaw and
the Des Moines Register and Leaders
suggestion that the lack Of a sufficient
number Of federal officers to watch and
catch will probably let most Of the
shooters out, having read all this and
still feeling that he should worry wants
to know just how it is. He wants TO
shoot ducks this spring if others are
to shoot and he doesn't desire to rush
in with a shotgun where angels fear to
tread.
There isn't any doubt but that all
he has e is to be depended upon.
Game Warden Hinshaw doubtless
means what he says. He says the gum
ner with an Iowa license has an Iowa
right to shoot ducks this spring. Check
that. The federal officers say that they
will make the shooter climb a tree in
haste. They mean it. Check that. The
other suggestion that the chances are
thai the shooter may set away with it
is also 10 be taken for what it is worth.
He may. Check that too.
Now we are coming TO the point Of
the party who wants TO shoot ducks.
He can. At his peril. The game warden
Will not bother him. The federal
authorities will prosecute him plenty if
they catch him. 1t he cares to take the
chance of appearing before a federal
court, paying a stiff fine and his
penses II is up TO him. II all depends
on what he considers the sport worth
to him.
The cautious man, leaving out of con-
sideration the moral phase Of law vio-
lation, will refrain from shooting ducks.
The dictum of the state game warden
will not affect the action Of the federal
officers and courts. To illustrates: The
mayor of the town and all the police
men and the county sheriff and at
tQrney mlSnt-anC sometimes CO-Id
vor illegal liquor traffic. shut their eyes
and noses to blind pigs and wink the
other eye on the b~ootlegger but the
wise pig proprietor and the cautious
bootlegger never fail to carry a gov
eminent license Without that a dep
uty L. S. marshal arrives in town some
day and the optimistic merchant OF
whiteIine and the like departs with him
to return chastened of spirit and poor
of purse. That is one OF the most com
mon inst noes 10 be used in illustrat-
ing the possibilities and probabilities
and practical certainties OF shooting
ducks on a local ZANE warden S say 50
against federal laws made and pro-
vided.
Certainly, the person who chooses
can shoot ducks. Surely the federal
law says ne mustn't. 1t is of ec0-d
that Mr.. Hinshaw says he may. He
has the permission of the state game
warden to buck the buzz saw if he
chooses. But nobody aver got anything
and many have lost much bucking puzz
saws.

SELL YOUR CROP.

A socialist orator the other Sunday
at Detroit scored Ford before an audi
ence of w~orkingmen. He .old hem tina;
Ford was buying the life. souls and
brains of the men, He was not in
sympathy with the distribution of pro-
fits and the raise of wages.
Strange, co., for other manufacturers
were not pleased with the Ford deal
and the socialist orator isn't pleased
with other manufacturers IL better
than he is with Ford. But it seems
that the workmen employed by Ford
were pleased as Punch.
Now h a fellow in Detroit was right
up to a degree; Ford is buying the
life brains and to an extent the souls
Of the men he pay better wages than
other men get elsewhere. In fact, life
and brains and the soul that industry
and desire puts in them are about all
any of US have to sell. Nobody is ad-
vertisins for help without life and
DioiiS IcSS ditlC4cS are among the
most marketable in the world. The
better they are the more they bring.
1t doesn't matter whether we sell them
for wages or trade them for life and
bains Of other men. 1t all comes to the
same thing. Ford had a considerable
crop Of both of an excellen, quality
and put them on the market to adj
vantage.
Let it go at that: Ford is buying the
life and brains and souls Of his men.
He isn't buying n mans opinions.
religious or political. he isn't buying
anything that ought not to be for sale.
His employees think they are selling
theirs well. AS the market goes they
are. Never MIND the socialist orator.
He is selling his, for socialist orators
are not Grating regularly entirely for
their health. Go on and sell yours. Sell
them in the highest market. Try to
raise a bigger crop Of better quality
next season. Get all they are worth.
Give full weight and measure.
It's a find thing to have life and
brains to sell and to exchange and 10
have a market for them.

Topics of the Times

British school teachers are on strike.
The British teachers and teachers
closer by nave some reason for stIik-
ing. Suppose the teacher in the
United States were to pull off a general
strike. Imagine the deep sorrow OF
the school children.
Sometimes a person who can tell off
hand the batting and ieid;ng per-
centage Of four leagues telephones to
the newspaper Office to learn who is
lieutenant governor Of Iowa.
a Pennsylvania company pays a 10
per cent increase Of wages to all it's
employees who will sign the pledge of
abstinence from intoxicating liquors.
1t is cheap at hat. However. it is not
increasing the mans wages SO much
os it is removing the tax ihat the booze
fighting workingman puts on all labor.
Clean. brainy labor must pay the loss
caused by liquor precisely as the man
who beats the grocer.
The Chicago ballot will carry names
Of candidates for 1872 positions. Now
what man will vote sensibly all down
the line?
A Missouri court has again decided
that the husband is the head Of the
family. Huh! 1t isn't the supreme
court that has the last guess in this
case.
If Huerta is wise he will ak the
ground hog to lie over and make a
little room.
Elegant, winter weather, don't you
think? Seems like Iowa before the
climate changed, doesn't it?
Argentina corn might make good
hominy, but it is a little too hard for
hogs and cattle to eat without grind
ing. The chances are that 1t will be a
long time before we ship much Ar
gentina corn into Marshall county.

call II, Hamburger Brust Thee" at

OF the tea, put a cup of boiling water
upon it, pour through a sieve M drink
q teacup full at any time. 1t is the most
effective way to break a old and cure

Is there any other man. among the
