Avoid Competing With Yourself.

One grower who gave great care
to his pack had created a sharp de-
mand for his products, and his brand
was sought by discriminating buyers.
Since he feared that one commission
merchant would not be able to dis
pose Of his entire crop to advantage,
he divided his daily shipment among
four commission men In the same
town. Not being satisfied with the re-
turns, he visited the city and dis
covered that the four dealers to whom
he was shipping were located not only
on the same street, but IN the same
storeroom. The shippers fancy-packed
products were on sale at four places,
and buyers were forcing the four
dealers TO compete, with q resultant
cut in prices. The farmer changed
his method, shipped all OF this product
to one agent who could set a fancy
price for this fancy pack, and there
was no competition to destroy his
market.
Suggestions &c Shippers.
For those who contemplate the use
Of commission men as marketing
agents, the bureau Of markets offers
the following suggestions:
/. Know your agent. Select n
who has a reputation backed by expe-
rience, an advantageous location, and
competent help. A personal visit will
help the farmer In deciding these
points. Have a clear understanding
as to charges to be made for services
selling, carriage, storage, repacking,
etc. Avoid unknown firms that make
unreasonable promises as to what they
f, will do with shipments. Among so
many dealers II is not surprising that
some get business through fraudulent
representation and drop GU of sight
as soon as a cleanup" has been eff
! fected.

U. S. GAME Law
GOVERNMENT WILL STRICTLY
ENFORCE PROTECTION OF
MIGRATORY FOWL.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Ameri-
can Game Protective association, the
sportsmen's national organization,
brands as an Associated
Press dispatch just sent out to the
effect that the supreme court at
Washington had declared the federal
migratory bird law unconstitutional.
The statement of the association
reads as follows:
THE newspapers this morning
printed a statement under a Wash
ington headline to the effect that the
federal migratory bird law had been
declared unconstitutional. This is an
erroneous dispatch.
1.-THE fact is that the SO called fed
eral migratory bird law vas repealed
on July 3. 1917, when the president
signed the Canadian treaty enabling
act. The new measure which super
seeded the old one is a better and big
ger law with exactly the same object
as the former measure. 1t provides
what the former law lacked, an eff
cient machinery for Its enforcement,
and the governments of this country
and Canada are now squarely united
in the protection OF all the birds of
the continent north of the Rio
lGrande.
What happened at Washington
was that the solicitor general asked
to have dismissed his own motion be-
fore the supreme court which was to
test the constitutionality of the orig
inal migratory bird law. 1t vas no
use arguing the case. because there
is no longer any Weeks-McLean law.

Pierre. Jan. 1.-THE question OF

the Social Science club, of Aberdeen,
to send down q bill requiring phys
