the diggers, and the three cars
represented $4,000 worth Of shells
Many other clammers have been
holding their shells for higher prices.
Since this shipment was made shells
have gone to $50 a ton.
Along the shores and manv of it's
tributary rivers may be found num-
erous clammers' outfits which, vary
| somewhat in design altho all serve
the same purpose. A typical outfit
| consists of flat bottomed boat ON
either side of which is a. rod sixteen
| feet long. Suspended from this are
| chains with six four prong hooks on
each chain, in all 500 hooks.
One bar at time is lowered and
| dragged along the river bed, thus
catching the partly open clam shell.
| Muddy water affords the best results,
as the clans their open their shells
! for feeding and can be the more east

| Spring and early summer are the
best seasons for the work, as the
spring freshets disturb the water
making it muddy. Later In the season
as the water becomes cool the clans
bury themselves in the mud. The in
Idustry is protected by the game and
fish laws, the season opening legally

CLAIMS breed In August and are
very prolific. The mother weaves a
sort of web around herself and young.
and when caught on the claiming
hooks as many as fifty or seventy
! five young are often found attached
ITO her, while many others are lost in
the catching.
The workers outfit includes q stove
of some sort, the clans being boiled
| for an hour after they have been
brought to shore. This opens the shell
and enables the fisherman to remove
the clam. One by one he goes thru
| his catch discarding the meat which
can be fed to swine or used for fish
bait.
Each shell opened may bring a

CITY OWNERSHIP FAILS.
Ole Hanson Says Politics Wrecks
System.

Chicago, Aug. IZ-Ole Hanson,
former mayor of Seattle yesterday
told the Chicago Association Of Com
MERGE at its Hotel La Sale luncheon
that municipal ownership was a fail
ure because you couldn't keep poll
ties from interfering with it. He re-
cited his own experiences in Seattle.
las a war measure, Seattle bought
its car lines We had a superinten-
dent of utilities who was fearless and
honest He established skip stops,
one man cars, and we had better
transportation. More passengers were
carried; the pay of the workingmen
was raised: the cars made better
time, and success seemed assured.
Then election day approached,
and three aldermen who were up for
reelection voted for Improvements
and extensions which should not have
been made for years. draining money
from the city treasury.
Then in the mayoralty campaign,
to my surprise, the traction ques-
ton became the dominant one. We
thought we had taken it out of
politics, but we had merely put it in.
a
number of improvements. who agreed
not to punish or fire street car en-
ployes, was elected.
His first step was to fire our COM
petent superintendent and put in a
political friend. The cost of running
the cars has gone up materially. The
fare has gone up to 10 cents, four
rides for quarter. The present
mayor has advocated taxing the
citizens to pay for the car lines
operation"
Mr.. Hanson took the business men
of the city to task for their attitude
during the recent trial of the Com
munists, in which he was one of the
principal witnesses. He accused them
of dodging jury service. with the re-
suit that the jury was composed en-
tirely of workingmen, three mem
bers of unions.
Clarence Darrow said to me,
Some of the jury are class conscious.
We will, surely win,' - said Mr.. Han
son. Then the workingmen, the Ia
Dor union men on that jury. brought
in verdict of guilty on the first bal

ingmen on the. jury were better
citizens than the business men who
refused to do their duty as American
citizens and refused TO serve on that
jury"

Handled 1926 Birds.

A record has been kept of the at
tendance at the demonstrations, and
it has been found that 726 persons at
tended the demonstrations. There
were 1926 birds handled, and of
these Mr.. Beed. culled out 3,OO3 poor
birds leaving a total of 4,323 good
hens.
OF the sixty flocks >culled, it was
found that tuberculosis was present
in greater or less degree In forty
three of them, leaving only seventeen
flocks free from the disease SO com
mon to poultry. Seventeen Of the
flocks were found infested with
cholera, and fourteen of them showed
signs of other diseases.
Poor Hens No Good.
Thru Mr.. Beed's efforts seven new
poultry houses are to be built. and
four remodeled according to modern
plans, which are available at the Of
flee of the farm bureau.
The results of the cuIling so far,
show that after from one half to one
third of the hens are cullea from the
Hook, the remaining birds are lay
ing as many eggs as the entire flock
was before the culling. Several far
mers after witnessing the demonstra-
tons went home and culled their own
flocks successfully.
The farm bureau is anxious to Sc
cure culling record cards. showing
the egg record ten days previous to
the tculltng and ten days after the
poor hens had been weeded OUT BY
having this record, 1t can be de-
ternined more accurately the value
Of the culiing process. IT has been
found during the demonstrations that
eradication Of disease among poultry
can be brought about by better hous-
ing. sanitary conditions in the, yard
and by allowing fewer birds to-. the
house, thus preventing crowding.

THIS RICHMOND MAN RELATES
HOW PEPGEN HELPED HIS WIFE
OF SEVERE STOMACH TROUBLE
Says Time Was When She Scarcely
Ate Enough to Keep Bird
Alive.
HAS GOOD APPETITE NOW

The large number of people who
are taking Pepgen is now a matter of
record at the Thistlethwaite drug
stores in this city. The sincere and
emphatic endorsements add each day
to its ever increasing popularity as a
stomach, kidney and liver tonic.
A. L. Alsop, IA South 18th Street.
Richmond, says: will I recommend
Pepgen? Yes, and gladly. While
have never taken Pepgen myself, my
wife has taken it and it has helped
her. 1t strengthened her nerves and
made her feel good | shall soon be-
gin taking it myself as need a good
tonic to make me stronger.
My wife is very enthusiastic about
Pepgen but she doesn't have to tell
me how it helped her. l can notice it
already in her appearance. She seems
so much more cheerful and does not
complain about being tired. 1t does
me good to see her eat and she ap-
parently relishes every mouthful of
her food. Before she took Pepgen she
scarcely ate enough to keep bird
alive. She looked pale and tired
Anybody who saw my wife some
time ago and sees her today would
notice great change for the better
in her appearance
Pepgen may be obtained at any
first-class drug store anywhere.

Mrs. Mary Jones, ZIG Wysor street,

Before l started to take Pepgen
had pains after every meal caused
by my food fermenting and turning to
gas. 1t was a heavy burning feeling
And then my heart would flutter until
at times l thought it would jump out
of my mouth.
MY appetite was almost a stranger,
consequently, my vitality was simply
wasting away. | felt tired and was
very weak l was so nervous that
couldn't sleep soundly I dreaded to
see nights come because I would have
TO roll and toss until long after mid
night before l could go to sleep.
"Pepgen relieved me. 1t seems al
most unbelievable to me that I am
now eating corn bread, raw onions,
and cucumbers. l go to bed and go to
sleep right away.
My son. William V. Jones, told me
about Pepgen. That's how l came to
try it because it had helped him"

LADIES'! DARKEN
YOUR CRAY HAIR
Use Grardma's Sage Tea and Sulphur
Recipe and Nobody Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmother
time. She used it TO keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance. this
simple mixture was applied with Won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients. which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. By morning
the gray hair all disappears. and af-
ter another application or two, it be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy
