II ReariOn desires to stress is the i'm
portance OF the tobacco growers OF
Sumter market using both OF the
Sumter warehouses more than they
have been doing. For years the grow
ers kicked on Sumter being one
warehouse market. The business
men OF Sumter and the farmers ex-
pended about 100000 building a
second warehouse TO create addition
al competition. because the growers
said two warehouses would cause
keener competition and conseqcent
higher prices He says don't sell
all or most Of the tobacco on either
Sumter ware .ouse but divide the
business-sell on one warehouse one
time and on another warehouse
another time. Or divide your tobacco
between the two and see if you get
any better prices by doing this.
This advice is given i'm the interest
of the Sumter market, as the farmers
are interested i'm keeping both ware
houses open and i'm bringing about all
tho competition they can get. The
companies have u right to make a
reasonable profit on their purchases,
but the farmer enjoys the same right
to profit He thinks that the farmers
should pull together for their own i'm
terests and remember that warehouses
men are i'm tho business, like the
tobacco companies for what money
they can get out Of the business
that the warehousemen are entitled
10 make a living as well as the farm
ers, but that farmers must necessarily
learn that every farmer has to look
after his individual interest, and also
TO cooperate to keep up good live
loca. market. and to Keep mp compe-
tition and highest possible prices. He
contends that the farmers have con
stitutional right to organize to keep
up prices by Withholding tobacco tenn
pOrarily when prices are "beared'
down without just reason. If the to-
bacco cOmpa MES can get together and
slash prices by combination against
the farmer, then the farmer has the
same right to organize to try to main
tain reasonable living prices FOR to-
bacco. Another thing the secretary

BIRDS SONG IDENTIFIES IT
Once Heard, One Is Not Apt to Forget
the TriII of the Beautiful
DickcisseI.

As far as we are informed. there is
but one American bird whose song can
be heard above the roar and rattle OF
a swiftly moving train. when the re-
ceIving end is on the said train.
You may be ''jazzing" along at sixty
or seventy miles an hour in your COM
Portable Pullman seat. and over the
tremendous hum and racket Of the
steel caravan will come 10 you from
the little feathered fellow on the tele-
graph wire outside the incessant song
of hot-weather joy.
"Dick Dick! Dickcissel :"
Or if you prefer another analysis:
chip! Chip. Chee-chee-chee, -
So the DickcisseI has a distinct
stunt Of his own-Something that no
other bird can initiate or rival. Some
times we think Dick is a Bit proud of
1t, too. for he lines the railway right
Of way clear across the middle west
ern and plains states in such numbers
his song Is ever in our ears while you
are travelling.
The Dickcissel was formerly called
the hlack-throated bunting and is Il
very beautiful creature as we'll as very
useful. He is mostly of a rich yellow
hue, with a black throat-but nobody
need identify him by his dress. for his
song is iRimitable. In our experience
we never heard any of The knocking
birds attempt TO initiate the Chip!
Chip. Chee-chee-chee of the hot
weather friend.
He is really a salamander of the
air, too. for he is late in arriving and
early in departing, and does his best
vocal stunts when you and l are gasp
ing beneath an electric fan. He eats
lots of bugs and weed seeds and is
a mighty good citizen.-Omaha World
Herald.

Preservinq American scenery.

While the members of the AsSoci-
ated Mountaineering Clubs of North
America are not all devoted TO noun
taineering, they have a common bond
of interest in the preservation of
American scenery and in the protec-
ton of plant and bird life In their
natural environment. The association
is cooperating With the national park
service for the creation and develop
ment of national parks and ''monu-
ments." A fine collection of litera-
ture on mountaineering has been form
ed by the association at the New
York public library and photographers
are being compiled and publish d.
When this organization was founded
in 1916 1t embraced nine clubs and
societies. Now there were 30 and the
aggregate membership is over 5000.

Land Question in Chile.

The land question. particularly as It
relates to the Indians, has of late been
receiving attention from those inter
eSted in the future of Chile. The
tendency has been to take every adj
vantage of these natives. who, despite
the many handicaps that official and
unofficial greed have placed in their
way. are admitted to be making sub
stantial progress. They have. as might
have been expected, shown themselves
particularly proficient in agriculture
and cattle breeding. Crying evils in
the administration of the lands have
been pointed out in the public press,
but as yet the authorities do not seem
to be sufficiently interested in remedy
ing a state of affairs that does much
TO ALLEVIATE the sympathies of an i'm
portant, If subordinate, part of the
population.
