"A Bird m the Hand Is Worth Two in the Bush

This old adage has been applied to thousands
of cases. but that has not worn it out destroyed
it's efficacy The wisdom of the statement may
be absorbed in Richmond and utilized in regard to
the 100000 Industrial Fund.
More factories are desirable acquisitions to
the industrial enterprise Of the community. More
factories mean increased population, more hous-
es, greater consumption of food and clothing,
greater savings deposits, greater prosperity for
all of us.
Money expended to bring factories to Rich
mond is well spent, that is, if the concerns are
financially sound and are moving because Rich
mond offers distinct industrial advantages.
If the new concerns, however, are coming to
Richmond because their finances are not sound,
if they are of the fly-by-night variety, of the
j. Rufus Wallingford brand, it were far better
for the city if it had never raised 100000
fund.
We are not insinuating that the men who
have jurisdiction over the 100000 fund are not
sound financiers, or donot have the ultimate well
fare of the city at heart. We are making gen.
eral observation that holds true wherever an in
dustrial fund exists.
Here's where the "A bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush comes in.

but one duty and that is to stand by
and support the recognized constitu-

1S91-defeated for the SIND Congress 1892
Elected Senator to the 5oth Congress 1897 to

Senator Mason is now Congressman from the
State Of Illinois.
Senator Mason's championship of Pure Food
and Drugs legislation, his fight for the rural free
delivery system, and his strong advocacy of all
bills favoring labor and the rights OF the masses
as against trusts and combines made him a ma
tional figure at Washington and endeared him to
the hearts of the workin g man and the great
masses of people throughout the United States
Senator Mason has the distinction Of being
of the really big men of the nation His strong
endorsement of Nuxated Iron must convince any
intelligent thinking reader that it must be
preparation Of very great merit and one which
the Senator feels is bound to be OF great value
to the masses Of people everywhere otherwise he
could not afford to lend his name to 1t especially
after his strong advocacy OF pure 1000 and drugs
legislation.
Since Nuxated Iron has obtained such an enor-
nous sale-over three million people using it
annually-other iron preparations are often

should remember that there is vast difference
between ordinary metallic iron and the organic
iron contained in Nuxated Iron. therefore always

says:
Iron to be Of the slightest value to 'he human
system must be IN a com btnatfon which may be
easily assfmilated. In the case OF metallic salts
of iron from acetate etc. 1t is very doubtful If
sufficient actual iron be taken up and tncor-

A trammel net which has been the

Evidence was introduced to show
Duncan's title to the net 1t was also
brought out in this hearing that Dun.

court on charge of taking the net.
This the justice held had nothing
whatever to do in this case, and that
the result of the criminal proceedings
had nothing to do with the adjudica-

action were different. 1t was held
that it was up to the intervenor TO
prove beyond doubt that the net was
his, and that the preponderance OF
evidence to show this was not intro
duced, so the net was awarded TO
plaintiff, LaFeber.
