The Valuable Quail

From the Chicago Journal.
 The most expensive meat in America is that of the quail. The price of the bird may be moderate enough, but the loss caused by killing it is another mat ter. Competent authorities estimate that each quail Is worth from S10 to s25 to the American farmer, as a destroyer of in- sects and devourer of weed seeds.
 This is particularly true in those parts of the south afflicted by the boil weevil. Quails are as fond of weevils as weevils are of cotton. and more than one farmer has noticed that when his fields are well stocked with quail the cotton crop is safe. There is liable to be some very vigorous game preserving in Dixie, on economic grounds rather than for sport, during the next dozen years.

Players Chosen to Advance ment to Majors Wifi Not Be Known Until Con-

Chicago, July 15.-Reports today reached minor league leaders in this section that the secret draft under which their players were taken into leagues of higher class last year will be in vogue again this season. While nounced that the results of the 1915 draft would be kept under cover the minor leagues pointed out that gem eral conditions were the same as last season.

HOLDING UP PARCEL POST.

The rights of neutrals and the rights
of belligerents have been much dis
cussed questions from the opening of
the war. They have bumped up against
military necessity in many instances
and despite the provisions of interna-
tional law rights have frequently got
ten secondary consideration.
Great Britain has persisted in inter-
fering with trade between neutral ma
tons as we'll as in shutting off COM
merCe with belligerent countries and
having been successful in accomplish
ing its purpose of keeping a certain
amount of the supplies away from the
central powers it has not only held up
shipping for long periods, but it has
even seized mail on the high seas
Though it may have the right to con-
slider parcel post as freight and take
it when it desires for the purpose of
cutting off such small amounts of food
stuffs as might be shipped in such a
costly manner to it's enemy because
that is not protected by the The Hague
conference regulations, that does not
give it the right to seize first class
matter.
Sweden has shown it's resentment Of
the stand which Great Britain has
taken relative to parcel post between
that and other neutral countries by
stopping all British parcel post routed
by way of Sweden to Russia. This is
likely to bring Great Britain to a real
ization of the situation in which neu-
trails are placed and it will be inter
esting to see how it will get around
the obstacle which Sweden has i'm
posed in the transportation of British
parcels. 1t is a question whether the
benefit gained by Great Britain in seiz-
ing parcel post will be sufficient to
warrant its continuance in face of the
| action taken by Sweden, which is
showing that it can play the same
game.
