Aliens Are Staying Songbirds"

Robins, thrushes, linnets, nut-hatches and all
kinds of songbirds and insect-eaters which are
protected by law and never killed by Americans
are being slaughtered by thousands by foreign
ers who obtain hunting licenses Illegally and be-
lieve that the licenses authorize them to kill any
thing, according to John B. Burnham president
of the American Game Protective Association.
-"The only thing to do with aliens of this kind
is to deny them the use of firearms entirely, be-
cause even if they have the best will to obey the
law, they don't seem to know one species from
another and make no distinction of seasons he
asserts. 'In some localities it has been found
effective to enlist the cooperation of church off
Gals who instruct their congregations that
while it was all right to kill little birds in the old
country, things are different here.
Few Americans ever kill small birds, al
though not very long ago noted American
clergyman and author was caught by game war
dens with bag full of linnets, nut-hatches and
robins. It was difficult to understand why he
was killing them, but his explanation was that he
had new gun and was trying out his marks
manship.
"a man should be here long enough and
should know enough to be good citizen before
he is entitled to use gun. The destruction of
small birds will be very serious for the farmer,
unless county and city clerks are more careful
to observe the law and refuse licenses to aliens

United States Always Will be Dry

America always will have prohibition and
Great Britain also will be dry in few years when
the success of this country's experiment is as
sured," said Sir George Paish, British economist
and editor of the Statist, in recent interview.
His belief in prohibition is based on economic
grounds. The working people of the world, he
says win demand and receive a greater share of
the worlds income as time passes and must save
and provide capital. Immense amounts were
spent annually for drink, and Great Britain now
spends between 4o0,00O,00O and 5OO000,000
pounds a year for liquor. Allowing half this vast
sum for amusement, Sir George says the other
half would provide practically all the capital re-
quired.
He also is confident that when Great Britain
goes dry, none of this saving will go to boot
leggers.
Turning to the business situation in Europe,
Sir George regretted that statesmen did not have
the economic knowledge to take down the trade
barriers and remove the present depression. His
gospel is free trade, and if he defeats Bonar Law
and majority of the Conservatives lose, there
will be Liberal-Labor government in England.
Germany could pay her indemnity bills, if
trade barriers did not prevent her finding mar
ket, as her production now almost equals pre-

mier Law on his side took immediate
action by abolishing Lloyd Georges
cabinet secretariat and announcing
that all foreign affairs would be con-
Quoted through the foreign office, thus
making CurZon master of foreign af-
fairs of the empire.
Curzon is 63 years old and most of
his years since attaining his majority

He was long under the tutelage of
Lord Salisbury. as private secretary
from 1885 to 1891, under secretary for
India for two years and under secre-
tay for foreign affairs for three years
more. Then he was sent to India as
viceroy to carry out the Cecil policies,
and remained there until 1905, when
he had to give way to a Liberal. The
war and the coalition offered him a
chance to come back, and on the re-
tirement of Mr.. Balfour from the for.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 3.-ln
these days of high living costs, wide
spread interest is being manifested IN
a nationwide plan of cooperative buy
ing, production and distribution. Far
mers and fruit growers are perfectlnS
marketing organizations to protect
their interests, and it is urged that 1t
is high time something was done in
behalf of the consumers.
Whenever a project of this nature
is under consideration attention is dl-
rected naturally to the Rochdale Plaa
which has operated successfully IN
England for more than three-quarters
of a century. This organization EN-
bodies what is perhaps the largest
and most prosperous cooperative sys-
TEN the world has ever known and its
advocates say there is no reason why
it could not be adapted to this coun-
try.
The cooperative movement in Great
Britain started with the corn mills
and baking societies that were estab'
lshed in the closing years of the
eighteenth century and the first de-
cade of the nineteenth. 1t resulted
from a miIlers' monopoly that had ad-
vanced the price of flour to an ex,
orbitant level Mills and bakeries
were operated on a ready-money, cost
price basis, and little later Robert
Owen came along with his communis-
tic experiments.
It was not until 1914 when the Roch-
dale Society of Equitable Pioneers
was founded, however, that the move
ment attained real proportions. The
| objects of this society were the sale

Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull.
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect BY asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bottle
Ct this old-time recipe, improved by
the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and draw
it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears; after another appli-
cation or two. it is restored to its
tnatural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. Advertisement

Eh second of the new ideas was
the ystem of dividing profits upon
purlases. Instead Of deriving their
beIdits from cooperation through be

the members of the society and even

ly the same as that of the original
Rochdale Society.
Membership is open to anybody
each member required to buy a mini
mum of one-pound shares-one to five
which bear interest at a nominal
rate of four to five per cent, and being
limited to a maximum investment OF
200 pounds. The shares can be with
drawn but are not transferable ana
hence never are quoted at more than
their face value.
The business of the stores is carried
on in the same-way and at practically
the same prices as the ordinary shops
Members and non-members are given
metal tokens or paper checks regis
tering the amount of each purchase
which are collected at stated intervals
and credited upon the records of the
society. At the end of the year, after
the interest has been paid on the
shares Of the members, the profits are
distributed in the form of dividends
upon the total amount of purchases
non-memberS receiveing one-half the
dividend rate allowed members.
Thus if the purchases made of the so
ciety totaled, for example, 100000
pounds and the net profits for the dis
tribution amounted to $4,000 pounds
each member would receive a dividend
of IS per cent upon the aggregate
amount of his purchases during ths
period. Out of the profits bonuses are
sometimes paid TO labor and funds SCI
aside for educational and charitable
purposes.
Wholesale
Plan Similar.
Two large wholesale societies, one
in England and one in Scotland, are
organized and conducted on a SINH
lar basis. Only retail societies can be
members of the wholesale society. and
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram., 1922-11-03

each must subscribe to one five-pound
share for every ten of its individual
members, such stock being transfer
able at par only Goods are sold to
the member societies at prices repre-
senting only a slight advance over
cost and the profits of the wholesale
concerns are divided among the mem
Der societies in proportion to their
purchases.
The wholesale societies do not com
pete with each other, but frequently
one acts as the others agent and they
have numerous undertakings in com
mon. They own tea plantations in
Ceylon and wheat lands in Canada
and they have buying agencies in Ire
land, Denmark, France, Spain, Ger.
many, Holland, the United States and
other countries.
Buying and selling at wholesale is
by no means the sole activity of the
societies. They are manufacturers or
a large scale and in England they pro
duce boots and shoes, candles, wool
ems, clothing, furniture, brushes, up
holstery, bedding butter flour, lard,
jam, Tobacco, and printing. The Scot-
tish Society manufactures flour,
tweeds, blankets, mems clothing
shirts, nantes, furniture, boots and
shoes, hosiery, brushes, preserves.

and printing. The English Society

also have a department through

In one year the retail societies, or
| distributive stores as they are called,
| did an aggregate business of almost
| one billion dollars with a net profit
| of approximately 10 per cent on that
| amount. In that year there were
about l 500 of these societies With con,

ual members. 1t is not reported how
many non-members patroniZed the

mains that the societies have growr
