SHOOT THE CROW

In the interests of the protection of game and
useful birds in vicinity | would like to ask the
spOrtsmen and farmers of our neighborhood to take
some action in trying to lessen the number of crows
These predatory robbers should be shot whenever
the opportunity arises at this season of the year.
The nesting season for game and useful birds is now
coming and it is at this time that the crow beats
through the field and woods seeking out their nests
and destroying their eggs and young. Game com
mssOners of thirty eight states in the union have
found that the is the worst enemy of game
and useful birds which flies In some places crows
have picked out the eyes of lambs and young calves
and also destroyed vast quantities of poultry eggs
and young chicks.
The crow is increasing in numbers in many parts
of the country He hunts all the time, like other
Killers but he is especially destructive when the
birds are nesting Some species of crows have been
known to wipe out whole colonies of game birds in
certain localities
1t would be one of the best things possible for the
game of this neighborhood if sportsmen and farmers
would devote some of their time at this season Of
the year to shooting crows and thus lessenng their
numbers McLaih Hardware Co.,

WHAT is THE MATTER WITH SOUTHERN
SWEET POTATOES

Southern sweet potatoes have not been grown and
handled in such way as to bring the grower the
price he should receive. Although SO per cent of
the total sweet potato crop of the country is pro-
duced in eleven Southern States, not quite 80 per
cent of the carlot shipments come from the South
Investigation shows that onefourth or more of the
Southern sweet potato crop is entirely lost from rot
most entirely prevented
We believe potato growers are going to pre-
vent these losses, and put Southern sweet potatoes
on the market in such way that they will bring
the good prices received by sweet potato growers in
other sections of the country To do this, we must
increase the percentage of No. l stock grown i'm
prove the varieties eliminate diseases to a greater
extent than we have done, and standardze varie-
ties. Then put on the market only those potatoes
that are entirely free of disease properly cured,
properly harvested and graded.
There are altogether too many varieties grown in
the South We need to select few of the best ones
and grow Them and then take the necessary steps
to prevent such large percentage of the crop be-
ing other than No /. The large jumbos are as bad
as those that are too small The market does not
want them and will not pay the price Setting DO
tato plants too far apart is one of the reasons for
such large percentage Of these abnomally large
potatoes being grown. 1t has been definitely shown
that where the plants set only eight to ten or
twelve inches apart, few jumbos will be produced.
Also do not use excessive amount of nitrogen.
These are two of the steps that should be taken RIGHT
away to help put the Southern sweet potato crop

OREGON SCHOOL LAW TO U. s. COURT

Three Federal judges have decided that the So
called Oregon school law, to compel attendance of
all children with certain specific exceptions at the
public schools during the school term thus in effect
eliminating the private and parochial schools during
tional.
The matter will be taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States for final settlement The agen-
cies responsible for bringing the law before the vo-
ters Of Oregon, who enacted it by direct vote upon
dered. Originally proposed by Scottish Rite Ma.
sons, the law proposed and finally passed was en-
Enthusiastically endorsed by patriotic organizations
everywhere in the State.
Naturally, there was determined opposition both
by private schools and by those religious denomina
tions which support parochal schools The decision
of the three judges however, is based not upon re-
hgious grounds but upon the question of the right
acquired. The decision says in part:
1T cannot be successfully combatted that paro-
chial and private schools have existed almost from
time immemoriaso long, at least, that their priv
ilege and right to teach grammar grades must be
regarded natural and inherent as much so as the
privilege and right of a tutor to teach the German
language in the grammar grades, as was held in
Myer VS.. Nebraska supra
THE right of the state to establish as it's school
policy compulsory education within it's boundaries
is conceded Practically all the states in the Union
have adopted such policy But no state has ven
tured so far to eliminate parochial and private
schools from participating in the promotion of the
policy
Because so many voters in Oregon believe that the
State has a right not only to provide compulsory
education but to just what is taught it's fu-
ture citizens appeal will be taken to the Supreme
Court, the decision of which will be awaited with
intense interest by all friends of education and all
interested in non-denomnatonal schooling.

BAD CITIZENSHIP OF GOOD PEOPLE

"Fhe trouble with Georgia today is the bad cit

to the people at the First Baptist church Sunday

lead in respect for law, progress in the community

standing to out the law delay progress and hamper
improvement Do we need course in good citizen

New York, July 1.-The Demo-
cratic committee, in preparing for
the New York convention. foresaw
long drawnout siege. Tickets of ad-
mission to the big battle carry cou-
pons for Is days.
This provides for longer session
than that attending the record dead
lock in Baltimore in 1912 when
Champ Clark, with a majority vote
in his favor, WAS unable to pile up
the necessary two-thirds and went
down to defeat when the deadlock
broke in favor Of Woodrow Wilson.
Just as Clark held majority at
Baltimore, but lost the nomination,
so are McAdoo and Smith likely to
hold majority at some time during
the balloting in New York, only to
find the necessary 1872 votes still be-
yond attainment. ..
The accommodating bitterness in
the battle between these two camps
each of which will at least hold q
vote. sufficient to veto the hopes of
the other, makes the nomination of
either Of these first ballot leaders
most improbable.
Early maneuvering among dele,

strength if and when the breakup

THE CONSERVATIVE

A conservative is person who
does not believe that because an
idea is new it is necessarily good.
He does not believe that excOgita-
ton is the answer to the universe.
He believes there is also expert
cree. Fresh varnish does not ne
cessarily mean sound wood.
All radicals and some OF the lib
erals think such a person is pOliti-
cally immoral. He is tory squire.
He grinds with the rents. lie
shoots the man who kills rabbit.
He sends the widow off the place.
and takes away her turnips and
her two chickens. He shaves his
coin. He beats his wife and drinks
himself under the table every
evening.
The radical has halo. The lib
eral is morally conscious. Simply
because the radical wants to de-
stroy what is and the liberal wants
to change it into another form
these two classes Of political activ-
ity have the attributes of a super
icr morality.
The conservative is called re-
dictionary. A man who believes
that the eight hour rule In the steel
industry is wicked, that compulsory
cheap labor is a blessing, that
sweat shops are the foundation OF
sound life. that armed force should
protect the exploitation Of the
many by the few-this is the man
in mind when the conservative
mentality is considered.
