VERDICT FOR AMERICAN ROBIN

Prisoner at the bar is the American
robin He's charged with being a
robber of orchards, despoiler of
fruit trees, cherry thief. Testimony
against him includes a long array of
witnesses, with prejudices and time
worn beliefs about the birds appe-
tite for fruit.
AS witnesses for the defense a
score of biologists and government
investigators tell us that one-half of
the food of the American robin con-
sists of insects. In the remaining
one-half there is five times as much
wild fruit as cultivated fruit.
If the robin could testify for itself
it would tell you that it much pre-
fers elderberries to cherries. and that
it likes mulberries or wild cherries
best of all So il you want to keep
these birds out of your orchard, plant
a mulberry or wild cherry tree near
by and the birds will forget all about
your cultivated cherries. -Philadel-
phia North American.

 PRAISES QUALITY
 OF PENN'S THICK
Popular Globe Brakeman Endorses Plug
 Tobacco

No other form of tobacco can give you such hearty, juicy enjoy ment as you get from tasty chew of Penn's Thick, because no other has the real tobacco flavor of } Penn's.
 That is why so many experi- enced tobacco users regard Penn's Thick as the top-notch chew. They agree with D. A. Sullivan, of Globe, Ariz., welLknown brake man for the Arizona Eastern R. R. O., who comes out strong for Penn's Thick in the following ' statement:
 "PENN'S THICK is the best chewing tobacco 1 have ever used. The flavor is wonderfully rich, ard 1 have always found every plug to be all tobacco. I am glad to recommend PENIS THICK to any tobacco chewer. It is the only chewing tobacco I have used for three years"
 Penn's Thick must entirely sat- isfy you, or your money back. Your dealer has Penn's Thick in LOG cuts-try it to-day.

Manufactures Assessments for 1915
Total So, POS More than In 1914.


Denver-The total assessed valua-
tion of Colorado property is s1,249.-
1920, according to the fourth an
nual report of the Colorado Tax Com.
mission. Colorado manufacturers
have increased $3,391.205 In value.
and the worth of Colorado livestock
has risen more than $6000,000, ac.
cording to the values fixed by the as
SCISSORS for the year 1915 and ap-
proved by the commission.
School taxes have increased more
than any other class. From 1906 to
and including the year 1914. the
amount of school taxes paid by the
average total increase in taxes OF
54.5S per cent. During the same Pc
riod the state taxes increased 30.99
per cent, county taxes, 1926 per cent,
and town taxes, 52.l2 per cent. This
gives an average total increase In
taxes of 54.5S per cent. 1t is esti.
mated that at the same time the in.
crease in the total valuation of the
states property was approximately
20 per cent,
Coloradoans in 1914 paid a total OF
$1S.42O, ,401.20 for the support OF their
state, county, town and school gov.
ernments. In 1906 they paid total
of $11, 6,45531.
A marked decrease in the assess.
ments on metalliferous mining proper.

on mining properties is 2.Gi per cent
of the total valuation of the state.
In 1914 1t was 3.17 per cent, in 1919
II was 352 per cent, and In 1912 1:
was i27 per cent
The total valuation OF the state for
1915 is s60.359,995 less than 1914. OF
this the largest decrease was in Den.
yer. the tax commission allowing II
decrease OF approximately $4,000, 900
this year. Decreases OF s9.i31 1926
were allowed by the State Board OF
Equalization. These included do
creases of more than $4,000, 900 each
in the valuations OF the Denver Tram

The protective tariff doctrine is max

in Atlanta practically every speech

what the future may bring forth.
While the cotton men were not pes.
simistic. but instead recognized that
the present wave Of prosperity is wide

are reaping their share of the bene-
hts. they admitted that following
peace In Europe there will be ruth
less European competition which will
be little short of ruinous In some lines
of the cotton industry Il the present
tariff conditions continue.
The convention expressed its earn.
est wish that congress should enact
a protective tariff on dyestuffs which
would permit the development of dye
industries in the United States, and
later went on record as favoring a
protective tarif to prevent America
being made dumping ground for Eu-

war
