dreds Of thousands of school children
are known to be eager to enlist. The
boys and girls of Illinois are also re-
ported to be preparing to make UP a
good large section Of the young army.
Thousands of pamphlets showing the
children the uses and habits of over
sixty American bird species have been
distributed in schools over the entire
country by the National Association of
Audubon Societies during the past year
in preparation for this movement by
American boys and girls. If sufficient
funds become available for this edu-
cational campaign it is planned to
spread the knowledge Of every bird in
the land tn this way to every school
house on the continent.
1t isn't hard to interest children in
birds and make them the wardens Of
the feathered tribes. 1t Is easy. A
half dozen boys in every community
properly informed and anxious to pro-
tect the songbirds will accomplish
more than all the statutes Teach
them. 1t is good for the boys and life
to the songsters.

froze their innocent lives. The gulls
whose wings were torn off were those
whose body plumage was in too poor
condition for the market.
There was an Investigation Of these
stories Of horrld cruelty. They were
found to be true. II an additional
spur were needed to quicken tho
movement for the protection Of the
gulls and terms 1t was found in the
recital OF these tales Of the inhumanity
of the gunners. Money was raised,
wardens were appointed and the birds
were protected through the dime Of
their nesting,
Here is an answer to such doubters.
1t is only one case among hundreds,
and it is far from being the most ia
grant of those reported. A man
named Small-something in a name
possibly-shot gulls and terms for the
market. In. the seven days he killed
1925 birds. The selling price was 121z
cents for each victim. Small's weeks
work of slaughter brought him in
something over $500. Little wonder
is it that this man and others like
him hate to have the law interfere
with their shooting.
The movement for the protection Of
the birds along the Atlantic started q
similar movement on the great lakes
and along the coast Of California.

WHEN THE NEW YEAR BEGINS.

Bradstreets Dun and the New York
Journal of Commerce have recently
compiled figures which emphasize tbs
broadening of Industrial and CONNER
cial activities. July dividends on cor
porate stocks and bonds will aggregate
1897 1000, 00o an amount of money to be
turned into business channels that
must perceptibly increase commercial
activities. The amount to be paid on
the same stocks and bonds shows an
increase over July, 1903, of s13,000.000,
figures in themselves which emphasize
that industrialism has made gigantic
strides toward normal production.
All Indications foreshadow that bus
mess expansion. which is steadily maxi
ing conservative gains, will increase
more rapidly after the revision of the
tariff The United States Steel cor
poraton is making preparations TO OPP
crate all its plants to full capacity af
ter the first on January. The Gary
new s100.O00,0o0 plant is rushing work
on its blast furnace and expects TO be
running full capacity by October. The
orders Oh the Steel cornorar'on's books
are steadily increa sing, a condition that
has not been duplicated since 1905
Following the increase in corporation
dividends is the coincidence that the
revenues of the government are ap-
proximating operating expenses. Up to
the 10Th inst. the revenues had ex-
ceeded government disbursements for
the month by 100000. The shortage,
which was expected to reach s12O00o,-
900 for the fiscal year ending June So
viii only reach $4,000, 900, Increased
revenues and a reduction in appropri-
atoms being accountable for the splen-
did showing of the past six months in
the government deficit.
The crop outlook is not pessimistic
Crops are growing despite the excess
of rainfall in this state and Iowa will
be in line with full basket this fall.
When we start on the new fiscal year
day after tomorrow it will be with
every prospect Of continued prosperity
and wider business activity.

SALOONS AND THE INsuRaA cs AGENT

The insurance solicitor said it. He

the very poor, those who set aside a
few cents from the weekly wage that
they may not be buried by the county.
This is what the insurance man said:

On the main issue in the Gould
separation suit-the alinlony-the
plaintiff has been awarded an annual
allowance of $4,000 a month, or s3s,-
900 year, if it will sound bigger that
way. This may appear very hand
some figure to the modest provincial,
but let none such indulge the suspi-
cion that Mrs. G. will buy cocktails
for all her friends on the theory that
this is great victory for her On the
contrary the plaintiff probably shed
tears and sent for a solitary bracer
when she heard how the hard hearted
court had cut her off with such an
inadequate stipend.
If one recollects correctly-after a
cursory skimming of the detail; &C
this cause celebre-the defendants in
come is something like 100000 an
nually. The plaintiffs plea was for
an annual allowance Of something like
100000. She had been spending
money at this rate while the plaintiff
was paying her bills, and contended
that she was suffering great hardship
while being forced to worry along on
the temporary allowance of s25 900,
freely granted by the defendant. The
extra $1,000 will necessarily be but
mere drop in the bucket Of unful-
filled longings of one who has once
been able to buy without reckoning
the cost.
To realize the meagerness of a $685.
900 annual income, from a swell So

to change it into $500 gowns. If the
