BIRDS DESTROY
TELEGRAPH POLES
As Preventive Forest Service
Suggests Poles be Covered
With CreOSOte

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 6.-Consid-
erable damage is being done TO telephone,
telegraph and electric light poles by mem
bers Of the woodpecker family. These
birds originally built their homes in the
dead or dying trunks or limbs Of trees,
but for some reason best known to them
selves. have come to the conclusion that
the peeled pole offers better conditions for
a home.
They have become so ravenous of late
that their depredations are attracting
considerable attention among those who
are compelled to use quantities of wood
en- poles. Their activities spread over a
wide portion Of the United States, notably
in the South, Southwest and Central West.
Cedar poles seem to be the ones most
frequently attacked. The birds bore into
them at any height from the ground, and
tho holes which they make are often two
or three inches in diameter and four or
five inches deep Such an amount of wood
drilled from a stick Of timber which is
carrying a load Of wires naturally weak
ems the strength Of the line.
II would, Of course. not he difficult
matter TO exterminate these birds. How
ever. this is not desirable as they arc
among the most beneficial forms OF bird
life native to this country, because they
destroy large numbers of insects which
seriously damage forest and food crops II
seems, therefore, that methods should be
undertaken TO compel the birds TO revert
to their former habit Of boring rather
than to exterminate them.
Freqent inquiries have been made by
tho Forest Service in this connection, but
the only information to date which the
Government has been able to obtain Is
that on a casual inspection of treated and
untreated pole lines in Louisiana. In that
region il was found that poles which had
been lmpregnated with creosote oil were
not attacked by the birds where"- ---
treated poles under the same conditions
were very seevrely injured
Whether or not creosote will prevent
such attack is not definitely known, but
the service is investigating this problem
and should this oil prove a preventive, II
will fulfill twof-old purpose; It Will pro
tect the poles from decay and destructioI
from animal life In Southern Indiana
some members Of traction compan,
! thought that they could prevent further
destruction OF their poles by hning tn,
holes I'm the wood with stones. The birds
however, simply drilled around the stones
and made the conditions much worse Thi.
apparently does not seem to be a means
Of preventing their depredations

MINERS HARSH
TOWARD GOMPERS
Won't Pay Their Leader For
Letters he Wants to Fur
niSh Their Paper
ly United Press Leased Special wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Aug. 6-Sam-
uel Gompers. president of the Amori-
can Federation Of Labor, according to
the United Mine Workers Journal has
incurred not only the enmity OF the
largest single union within the feder-
alton but has brought down a column
of abuse in the Journal, which is the
Official organ Of the miners.
The Journal charges that Gompers
was sent to Europe by the federation
with his expenses paid and that the
result Of his investigation abroad was
TO be given 10 the laboring men OF this
country for their betterment The
Journal states that II and other papers
were recently offered the weekly let
ters OF Sampol Gompors giving the
result Of his Investigations and his
conclusions at 81 per letter per week,
said letters having been sold by prev
ious arrangements by Gompers to n
newspaper, which In turn was TO get
it's money from the labor press of
America.
The Journal announces that Il will
not publish the Gompers letters, be-
cause whatever Gompers learns in
Europe the Journal has free right 70
as the omcal paper Of one Of the
unions that is paying his way and his
salary. The journal states, too that
its position was the subject Of reso-
luton by the International Executive
Board of the union. referring TO Comp
ers' actions as a hold up" the Journal
says:
1.-TWO million half starved working
men checrfully wished President
Gompers God speed on his visit, and
yet, before he leaves our shores he has
entered into an agreement by which.
II we desire to get the benefits OF his
visit, VIC arc TO chip i'm 10 the tune of
81 letter 20 help make newspaper
syndicates and TO further increase the
financial benefits OF the trip 10 the
man We are already favoring so
bounteously while our craftsmen were
starving on half "A days work per week
and thousands Of them idle for months
caused by the closing down of mills
and mines and factories.
Nov. this is wrong. we might go
further and say that it is viciousy 80.
il President Gompcrs could not afford
TO make tthe trip on the conditions
made by the American Federation of
Labor he should have stayed at home.
"The letters win not be published
i'm the Journal. President Gompers
would not have been in Europe now
II we and the like of us had not paid
our taxes and to us, as an official or
gan. belongs any benefit that may
come as n result Of that visit without
being held up"

SPILLED MILK.
BY EDWIN A..NYE.

SPILLED MILK.
When Rudyard Kipling wrote ''The
Recessional," one of the finest poems
in the English language and the high
est note ever struck by Kipling, he
threw it into the wastebasket
The great poem was rescued by acct
dent.
Kipling did not realize he had writ
ten a classic. Having done the best
work Of his life. he thought it a failure.
Mistakes in judgment are common to
us all. Sometimes when we are on the
verge Of accomplishment we throw up
our hands in failure.
We forget that the darkest hour is
just before .he dawn.
Never acknowledge defeat, because
defeat is often the only stepping stone
10 later victory.
Abraham Lincoln was great I'm many
things, and one of these was his re-
fusal to regard defeat as final.
When during those historic debates
with Douglas he proposed to put Ger.
tain questions to the Little Giant his
friends besought him not to do so.
They told him he would lose the sen
atorship from Illinois. Keen Joe Me.
dill, editor of the Chicago Tribune
told Lincoln he was sounding his own
deathknel. Nevertheless Lincoln per.
sisted.
He lost the senatorship, but gained
the presidency.
Lincoln understood, as the group On
able men about him did not, that VIC
rise on stepping stones of our dead
selves to higher things"
After all. success and failure are
comparative
Ignoble success is successful failure.
Noble failure is success.
Because. while noble action may fail
of recognition for the time. in the end
of things il counts for success.
Therefore
Your temporary failure may be
worth more to you in the long run
than immediate success. II it was
honorable failure and against odds
you have no reason for blaming your.
self. You did the best you could
Hold up your chin and try It again.
Your failure may reveal to YOU
weakness you had not suspected
Credit the failure to experience ant
60 on.
Above ali things
Never cry over spilled milk
Life Is too short TO grieve, and thers
Is too much milk in the world to bother
your head. let the spilled stun go an,
60 after more milk.
Never admit defeat TO yourself.
Success comes only as the climax :.
. series of defeats.

CHEsWOLD, Aug. GA few peaches
are coming in. r. II. Carney and NJ.
l.. Frazier have brought in the finest
fruit of the season. Mr. Frazier had
thirty-three baskets OF Carman and
Mountain Rose that sold for $i.15 per
basket. The congested condition Of
the wheat market still exists. The
average condition of wheat at this
point it seems is not grading No. 2
and seldom does it grade above steam
er. Edward Street. however, is one
lucky krower whose wheat is Of un-
usual fine quality and had his crop
reached thousands of bushels it would
meet with ready sale above the dol
lar mark. The farmers are showing
anxiety of mind because of the
drought. Early corn is suffering and
bushels of scarlet clover seed that are
sound without rain soon must go to
waste for lack of moisture.

ship OF all pictures shown is one of the
provisions exacted by the Montclair au-

For several years owners of moving pic

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, Aug. 6-The State
Board Of Agriculture, at a meeting
here to-day, decided to take up the
question of high and oppressive rates
for freight sent from the farms of
Delaware on certain products, partic-
ularly potatoes. A general meeting
will be called, later in the season, and
il is probable that a large produce ex-
change, similar to those now operating
successfully in the lower part Of the
peninsula, VIII be organized If farmers
can be induced to cooperate as active

A conference on rates will be held
in a few weeks between the standing
