SAVE THESE BIRDS.

James M. Morrow, in the Washing
ton Herald, makes an appeal for the
robin, which he states. is worth millions
to the fruit grower, he being the best
sort of insect catcher.
A plea also is put in for the life of
the crow, which bird. instead of being
a nuisance and q destroyer of corn,
really eats but little of this grain. but
is an inveterate enemy of field mice and
bugs Of various sorts.
The farmer, he says, can put up scare
crows in conspicuous places or he can
dip his seed in tar before he plants it.
Other protective measures can be taken.
1t is true the crow will steal his living
from corn fields. but his depredations
can continue only for brief time in
the early spring-the rest of the year
he is busy with bugs and mice, hunting
back and forth scross a field, Just ike q
trained bird dog. In the winter he digs
into the crusted or frozen cath for DOR
mant insects waiting the call of the
summer sun to become the parents of
myriads Of consuming progeny.
II take pleasure in defending the
character of the American crow. He
is an outlaw, know No State in the
Union protects him. Everywhere the
skill and hate of man works for his des-
truetion. With him. the battle is always
raging 1t was 80 in all his genera
tions. And yet he is the only living
creature in feathers that can hold his
own against humanity. He remains as
numerous as ever, and by his general
chip, intelligence. and wisdom, defeats
mankind armed with guns, traps, and
poison"
Winter Is the time to kill off the
pestiferous English sparrow, now that
most of our native birds are gone south.
Take shallow box, nail it on top of a
stake high enough to be safe from
chickens. Soak some wheat in a solu-
ton of arsenic and place it in the box.
The sparrows win eat it and you can
bury the remains. Be careful not to let
your fowls get any of the poisoned
| wheat.

TURKEY AND POTATO AMERICAN.

The wild turkey is exclusively Amer
ican. though domesticated in Europe
since the 10th century. Two varieties
are known. the common turkey of our
forests. which is found from N. c..
northward. and from the Atlantic to
Texas. Arkansas and Mexico.
The Honduras turkey, found only in
Honduras and Yucatan. This is a much
handsomer bird than our native turkey.
and some have thought that the bril-
liant colors in our domestic breed are
from cross of this variety,

Mexicans 30 it is stated. at the time of
the invasion of that country by the
Spaniards in 1920.

The Red Cross Stamp campaign was
again thrown into the limc-hght when
il was announced by the State Anti
Tuberculosis Association that IL, 900 new
cases of consumption were probably
contracted in Virginia during the last
year.
A prominent physician, who gave out
these facts said: "Of these IL, 900 cases,
l feel confident that large per cent of
these will be unable to pay for the
necessary cure. The others will be left
to die, and within three years, at least
5000 of these new oonsumptives will
perish. If these men and women were
treated now. while therdisease is in its
incipiency. most OF them could be saved
This work cannot be done without the
help Of the people The public, by the
simple use of the Red Cross Stamps,
can furnish funds that will help stamp
out consumption.
At the headquarters of the State
Anti-Tuberculosis Association, the fear
full progress of consumption was freely
discussed. THAT is what is making us
push the sale of the stamps, said an
officer of the Association" We know
that the people will use these Red Cross
Stamps and help the fight on consump-

We are doing our best. and are sending
the stamps throughout the State. The
people are using them. but We expect
to see the sales doubled between now

PLOUGHING FOR WILD OATS.
Oanville Rezister.l

Many father does the ploughing
for his sons crop of wild oats.'' says
the sage scribe who writes the "In and
about the City" paragraphs for the
Philadelphia Record. In that one
sentence he has compressed world of
wisdom and preached powerful sermon
to those who think and who will weigh
its meaning. The father, who, by his
own example, encourages his boy to
habits that will lead to excess and to
wildness is thereby ploughing for the
crop which the son will plant and later
reap. Few fathers realize the power
Of example and personal influence in
moulding the sons character and form
ing his habits. or how habits once
formed. they cling to the lad as he
grows older. Over indulgence of the
boy, too much freedom during his earlier
years, failure to exercise vigilance as
to the sons companionships and occu-
pations-all these things are ploughing
for the son to SOW his crop of wild oats,
which he must inevitably reap.
Then. too. great many fathers
rather encourage their sons in mannish-
ness and wink at, if they do not take a
secret pride, in his youthful tendencies
to naughtiness. They allow the boys
too free rein until they realize too late
that the son is going dangerous pace.
Then the father suddenly grows alarmed
and sets about stopping the boy.
But the wilfulness and indepen-
dence begotten in the boy by long
indulgence begin to assert themselves,
and the father suddenly awakens to
realize that he has no control over his
son save by such harsh measures as will
drive him from the parental roof and
remove him even from the little re-
straint that home influences constitute.
The time to train the lad in the way he
should go-the ways of prudence and
wisdom and moderation-ha gone, and
the father finds himself helpless to re-
pair his great mistake.
How many fathers are ploughing for
their sons crop of wild oats in one way
or anotherl

Six virtuesin reasonable predominance
and proportion man must have in order
to successfully gain and retain woman's
love. declared Rev. ii. L. Swain, pastor
Of Druid Park Baptist Chapel in SER
mon last evening at the chapel on
"What6W Women Love in Men" These
attributes he cited as strength. gallan-
try, generosity, politeness, intelligence
and love. and drew the inference that
the failure of any one of six to reach a
certain fixed quantity would seriously
interfere with the continuance of the
course of true love.
He said. In part:
