The Fee and The Bond
fj You've had- the principal provisions of the jit
ney ordinance now before council, explained to
you. You've had an opportunity to weigh them
all pretty carefully.
•J What's your opinion? Pretty fair measure,
don't you think?
<J Take, for instance, the two most important
provisions—the fee and the bond.
IJ A license fee of $50.00 isn't drastic, is it?
<J That has to cover mercantile tax, license tax,
gross revenue tax and must also help to take care
of YOUR streets which are now being subjected
to double strain by the jitney.
<1 Based upon receipts of $lO per day, that's a tax
of less than one and one-half per cent, of the jit
ney's receipts. This company pays three per cent,
of ITS receipts—and in addition pays for a sub
stantial share of the paving, renewing same
when worn out.
<1 So much for the fee.
<1! Now let's pass on to the bond—more impor
tant to YOU than all the rest.
if Just this week you've had forcibly brought
home to you a condition that should make you
pause and think a bit—when the State Highway
Department found it necessary to take away the
license of a local jitney owner, whose car while
being operated by an unlicensed driver, struck a
man and sent him to the hospital for several
weeks.
Doesn't that show you what is even MORE
LIKELY to happen any day—perhaps to YOU
—on jitney crowded thoroughfares?
For despite regulations—irresponsible drivers
WILL take a chance. More than four hundred
jitney licenses have been granted to date. It's
impossible to watch every one of these cars every
minute of the day and night. It only takes one
irresponsible driver one minute to commit one
violation that may result in a lifetime of sorrow.
<5 Do you realize how really serious this matter
is to YOU?
I
I]l Do you know that it is claimed that many in
surance companies will not bond the average jit
ney owner for $5,000?
Doesn't that make all the more necessary the
provision of protection for you?
<1 If insurance companies are unwilling to stake
their MONEY on the risk, are you willing that
the LTFE of YOU, YOUR WIFE, or YOUR
CHILD, shall be put at stake?
i
Think that over.
A $5,000 bond seems ONLY FAIR to YOU,
doesn't it? That's a pretty small amount in case
three or four others are injured at the same time
as you, and ALL seek to recover damages.
<1 These are the two provisions that most con
cern YOU—the two to which the jitney interests
will no doubt offer the greatest objection.
€jj Can you see anything unreasonable about
them?
•I The matter is in your hands—it's squarely up
to you to see that, financially and physically,
YOU are protected.

Poultry Industry Benefited
by Frequent Exhibitions
COPYRIGHT. 1315.
Although Pekin ducks originated in!
China, all the credit for improving the j
size, shape and color is iiuf American i
breeders.
Tho Pekin is used extensively for j
market. The young ducks are rapid <
growers and are markctafola from the ,
"green" uuek age until full grown. At |
the a«e of ten weeks.they weigh five |
or six pounds and bring the raisers as j
much profit as could bo secured by j
feeding until full grown.
Shows Instill Enthusiasm and
Create Interest Among
Amateurs; Bring Fanciers
and Farmers Together
Bv Mioliacl K. Boyer
Poultry Editor of the Farm Journal, j
Poultry shows nro largely respons- ■
Ible for the r:i|>i(l progress of the Poul
try Industry in America. Kxlilbitlon
fowls at their best arc interest stimii- !
lators and are often the cause of poul- \
trymen adopting better methods, 1" j
this article, Mr. Boyer advises the j
amateur to take an iuterest in poultry j
shows and also tells how to breed j
pri/.e winners.
SIXTY-ONE years ago the first j
poultry show was held in Amer
ica. The exhibition was given in I
Ihe American Museum, in New York j
City, owned and operated by P. T. i
liamuin, the gre:it showman.
It was at that show that twenty-nine ,
Judges were employed, anion* whom I
were such noted men as the late I). D. j
T. Moore, editor of Moore's Itural I
New Yorker- -nd the late Luther [
Tucker, editor of Ihe Country Gentle- |
man. An association was formed un- j
Uer the title of the National Poultry i
Society and tlie late P. T. Barnum was (
elected president. Anions: the Hst of |
vice-presidents were Horace (Ireeley. |
Orange Judd an<i George P. Rurnham. j
A. B. Allen, the noted agricultural edi
tor. was chosen recording secretary.
History does not say how long this
national organization eNistod, hut it is
presumed that it held up until about
1 S7:i, when, at a meeting in Buffalo,!
N. Y., the American Poultry Assocla- I
tion was organized. The object of the j
latter society was to get up a standard !
of excellence for the guidance of j
judges in awarding prizes.
The first American Standard of Ex- j
cellence. now known as the American j
•Standard of Perfection, was adopted |
by the American Poultry Association j
;it the meeting held January 13. iR74.j
As stuted. the first regular poultry j
show was held sixty-one years ago I
(ISot). Prior to thut the only public
displays of fowls were held at county
fairs. These were mostly in open •
cages, out of doors, somewhere about I
the fair grounds, and received only -a •
passing notice. The judges chosen!
were men who were anything but ex
perts. but by common consent their
judgment war final and was gracefully
| accepted by the exhibitors.
So much for history. At the present
day shows are held all over the United
States—in small towns and in cities—
and so largely are they held that, no
matter where poul trymen reside, they
have an opportunity to attend at least
one of these exhibitions.
The fancier deserves a whole lot of
credit. Vie Is the bone and sinew of
the business. He has made for us
new breeds, and he has improved the
old ones. There are two classes of
poultrymen—the fanciers and the util
ity men. The former's occupation is
to perfect the old and create new
breeds. They keep the breeds in their
purity.
Tt is up to the utility man to im
prove the practical qualities. In other
Words, the fancier gives us the breed
us it should be in size, in style, iti sym
metry.
The practical mail then must, by
| selection and Ureetiini;. brink out the
egg and meat qualities. The meat
qualities are largely created by the
fancier, since he must put shape and
size to the birds.
Now while the fancier and the poul
try farmer are working along two dis
| tinct lines, it is important that they
I "get together." The former, in mak
| ing or improving breeds, should keep
in mind the requirements oi the latter.
I The latter, in turn, should make his
improvement without sacrificing tlie
characteristics of the breed in hand.

When fill! grown, the drakes weigh
eight pounds and the ducks seven
pounds, while many specimens have
lieen raised that exceeded these
weights.
Pekins are pu'-e white in plumage,
with orange yellow bills and less.
Their bodies nre long and deep. The
small curled feathers hist over the

drake from the duck. Pekin ducks

Big Profits in
Milk-Fed Poultry
The milk-feeding of chickens in
crates has become a big industry
in itself. Milk-fed broilers and
roasters find favor in all markets
and bring higher prices. Next

will describe the best method of
milk-feeding and will tell how to
prepare birds for the market.

tloor is used as a repair department.
