Don't KIN the Birds.

Every youth who is possessed of a
target rifle or an air gun must of course
find something to shoot at, and natur-
ally the first song-bird that makes it's
appearance in the spring furnishes an
attractive target, but even the boy
with gun should consider that the
bird loves life, and by it's happy songs
makes life pleasanter for all creation.
hence he should desist from killing it.
More than this, some song-birds are
protected by statutory law, penalty
being attached for willfully DESTROYING
them. So, boys, train your guns en-
something else, and let the little birds
live.

Work the Roads.

Again We would call the attention of
road supervisors throughout the county
to the condition of roads, and the pos.
slbility of improving them at light ex-
pense. The county owns two large
steel road plows, which can be used to
excellent advantage at this season of
the year, just as the mud begins to dry
If these plows were usedsoh the roads
now, the mud as,it:begips to dry. could
be dragged into and ill up all holes
and ruts, and when thoroughly. dried
would leave the roads in excellent con-
dition. A days work with the plows
on the roads now would be more bene-
fetal than a weeks work next summer.
