THE PLEA OF BOB WHITE

Please, farmer friend, may speak
before you shoot?
am Bob White. 1t is my CHEEKY
whistle that comes to you through the
ghost-gray mist of the morning, my
covey call that echoes DER hill and
dale as dies the day.
In early springtime when nature
writes in pink her proclamations of
plenty, /, in orchards, fields, and pas
lures, begin my battle against insect
pests. Then when comes the wondrous
white of winter, lulling into peace the
plains and browning with heavenly
wilderness the hills, l still am here
still working to increase the next har-
vest. All winter long | labor, eating
the seeds of noxious weeds.
How many bugs and beetles and
weed seeds do / eat? Well, ! Won
der! | cannot say, but here is what
science says:
"Eighty-fve different weed seeds
make up in part Bob Whites bill of
fare. Crops have been found packed
with ragweed seeds and as many as
1000 seeds of crab grass have been
taken from one bird. A single spe-
cimen contained about 10000 pigweed
seeds. Crops and gizzards examined
in government laboratories have yield
ed 81 kinds of beetles, twenty-seven
varieties of bugs, nine grasshoppers
and locusts, and thirteen different
sorts. of caterpillars, besides ants,
flies, wasps and spiders. A teaspoon
full of chinch bugs has been taken
from one quail, and an adult bird has
been known to eat 5000 plant lice in
two hours. Bob White feeds upon the
boll-weevil, cabbage worms, cucumber
beetles, squash bugs, grasshoppers,
chinch bugs, the army worm, Hessian
fly and many other insect pests"
What pay do / demand for thus
helping you in your fight against
weeds and in reducing the annual in
sect bill of $80O,000,000? Why l ask
only that | be let live. Dead, am on
ly small morsel of meat; alive, I
make it easier for you and yours to
live. Spare me and l will serve you,

TO THE VOTERS OF
ST. FRANCOIS COUNTY
Leadwood, Mo-, Oct. 90.

LSduWUOu, hu'J OCLs Ao'
Editor Pennington Times will
you kindly give me a small space in
your paper for the purpose of helping
the laboring class of people, who have
prior to the administration of Assess
or L. o. Wells, been paying more of
the taxes in this county than they
should have paid, but since he has
rolled the clouds away, the corpora
lions who make their millions by the
sweat of OUR BROW, are paying
much of what they had to pay hereto
fore. Mr.. Voter, L. o, Wells is tied
to no man or to no corporation; here
is where you find him: equal rights
to all and special privileges to none
His opponent, while we do not know
him, but judging by the position he
holds with the lead company, we think
his policies would be very easily To-
Gated. Let us not undo for the cor
porations what Mr.. Wells has done
for us.
My dear sirs, here is a chance for
you to help yourself. You know how
to do it, and appeal to you as a tax
payer who believes in the policies Of
Mr.. Wells, that on Nov. 7th, if his
name is not on your ticket, do not
fold your ticket until you have done
little scratching and written his
name in the proper place. Politics
doesn't count when we are trying to
help ourselves, but if we are negli-
gent at this time or This mon, then
am afraid politics will count.
The Leadwood school oIsu lct is re-
ceiving $2,551.83 year more now
than it was receiving when Mr.. Wells
was elected, and, Mr.. Wells, we "tip
our hats to you"
We feel that better things yet are
in store for US. Taking the admins
tration. from Woodrow Wilson down,
we see labor coming into its own as
never before. "All hail Democracy"
Mr.. dear sir, we want representation,
and we want it from men who have
been tried and found worthy, and
when l say representation, let us go
little further and ask God to give
us Woodrow Wilson, James A. Reed,
W. L. Hensley, Thos. A. Mathews and
L. o. Wells. Do not understand me
to single these men out through par
tiality-I mention their names as
representative of the people. And
will you not remember, then, on Nov
7th, to see that their names are on
your ticket.
Mr.. Editor, l have used more space
than l asked for in the beginning; |
only intended to bring before the
voters the brilliant results of the best
Assessor st. Francois county ever
had. Mr.. Wells has well put the
"Ax in the poor man't tax"

THE FAMILY COW

The family cow should be constant
source of cheap, pure, and delicious
milk. Such may be the case, if few
precautions are taken. 1t is frequent
ly observed, however, that under the
conditions surrounding the family cow
only dirty, diseased milk can be pro-
duced.
A cow may be suffering from tu-
berculosis, the worst disease to which
she is subject, and still show no signs
of it to the proud owner. For the
sake of the children who drink the
milk, a qualified veterinarian should
be called upon to inspect and test each
cow every year.
With the assurance of healthy
COW, she should be housed in a clean,
we'll lighted shed and provided with a
clean yard in which to exercise. The
milk should be drawn into clean,
small-topped milk pail and kept cool
until consumed.
Milk sours and suoils because of the
bacteria which enter it with dirt from
the COW and from pals not thorough
ly washed. Keeping these bacteria
out of the milk and preventing their
growth by keeping the milk cool, are
easy and efficient means of procuring
the best of milk from the family cow,
provided she is free from disease

American Federation of Labor for the
First Time in Thirty-Five Years
Takes Stand in Politics

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 21.-For the
iirst time in 35 years of its existence,
the American Federation of Labor has
openly taken stand in presidential
campaign and, through its president,
second vice president and secretary,
has appealed to all organized labor to
support Woodrow Wilson.
A copy of the appeal was received
here to-day by l.. B. Travers, one Of
the general organizers for the feder-
alton. 1t is dated October IA and is
printed on the official stationery OF
the organization and issued from its
building in Washington.
After reciting the Presidents pol
leo and reviewing the labor legisla-
ton enacted during his administra-
ton, the circular calls upon the .offic-
ers of all organized labor to have the
issues of the campaign considered at
either a general or a special meeting
of their respective organizations, tc
the end that the wage earners can &c
to the polls next month and "vote fol
labor, justice, freedom, and humani-
ty."
The appeal, signed by President
Samuel Gompers, Second Vice Pres,
ident James o. Connell and Secretary
Frank Morrison, follows, in part;
ITO the officers of all Organized
Labor, Greeting: Never at any time
within the last so years have the
workers had more at stake in any po-
litical campaign than in the one that
is to be decided in the election No
vember 18th.
Says Issue is Clear Cut.
During the present administration,
and peculiarly in this campaign, there
has been developed clear-cut issue
between the workers, the producers

How Catarrh is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The infiam-
nation of the mucus membrane, at
first acute, becomes chronic and the
children have chronic catarrh, a di-
sease that is seldom cured and that
may prove life's burden. Many per-
sons who have this loathsome disease
will remember having had frequent
colds at the time it was contracted.
A little forethought, bottle Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy judiciously
used, and all this trouble might have
been avoided. Obtainable everywhere.
