VIOLATES CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT

Many people sincerely believe it
ceive their school training in the
public schools. Already it has been
admitted that it is within the
province of the state to require
schooling for it's citizens between
certain ages. but in 1922 Oregon
sought to carry this farther and
passed law providing that parents
must send their children between
the ages and 16 years, to the pub
lie schools. The vote was close,
1886 in favor and 10S,6S5 opposed.
The opponents carried the case. to
the supreme court of that state. A
decision has been handed down.
This is to the effect that the law
is unconstitutional; that 1t deprives
the citizen Of certain rights under the
constitution and the court enjoined
the state from enforcing the law.
Appeal Is made to the Supreme
Court of the United States.

Wants Facts NOT Fiction

Editor of Kennebec Journal:
l did not intend to write to you
on the much talked of subject, crows,
until l happened to read a letter
printed recently in your paper. I live
On farm and think as most farmers
do that crows are a nuisance How
ever, | do not wish any one to take
my opinion alone on the subject.
What people must have is facts, real
proof.i And they are not getting it..
In deter printed lately 1t was stat
ed that there was not a bird with
feathers that would eat raw beans?
was not sure myself until tried 1t.
Now ] would like to have the person
who believes that prove 1t.
And then will a grasshopper do
more damage in a grain field in one
day than ten crows? Try 1t and see.
Will the crow hunt grasshoppers in
field or pull corn in the garden
next to it? Which will it do first ?
When you hear a person say that
crows do more good than harm just
ask him or her to prove il, to give
real facts instead of merely his or
her opinion.
When some one can do this Mill
stop killing crows.
Yours truly,

What Would 1t Look Like?

Editor kennebec Journal
Just a word on the crow question.
No one disputes the fact that the
crow will eat worms and bugs
when he can find nothing more to
his liking; and tar will prevent him
from pulling up much corn in the
Spring; but he will do lot of
damage to a field of corn in the
Fall.
1 know last season the crows
took fully half of my sweet corn,
ears; they would rise in swarms
from the piece should any one go
into the field, and then in ten
minutes be back hard at it again.
And a little patch of popcorn was
all taken-every single ear. Be-
sides doing this the farmers friend"
took about every fifth hill of pota-
toes, and most of our peas.
They would come right up to the
buildings and carry off the little
chicks day after day, and kept at 1t
until what chickens were left got
too large for. them to steal.
