the score ran high, the boys showed
great energy and pluck John Robert

The establishment on both private
and public lands of reserves for the
preservation of birds and animals that
are in danger of extinction is COM
ihanoing much attention in the State
OF Victoria. and since October last no
ie"er than eight new sanctuaries i'm
various parts Of the country have been
proclaimed by the government. This
movement is distinct from the ordi-
nary protection extended throughout
the whole State to kangaroos. ulatv-
pus' magpies. laughing jackasses and
certain other native animals and
oirds' the killing of which entai,s a
neavy penalty, as a private ownep Sr
municipality may set apart a prescrib-
ed tract of land upon which all an,.
mai or bird life may be secure from,
molestation. The department of land.
OF the State encourages the formation
OF these sanctuaries particularly in tho
vicinity Of towns, and IL Ia suffician,
for private owner or town c,arr .,
the case of municipal land to appIy
TO that department in order to have a
reserve proclaimed as a sanctuary in
the government Gazette. and in order
70 avoid confusion or doubt and to
make prosecutions for a breach of the
law more practicable the proclarna-
ton not only defines the legal boun-
daries OF the area but gives a precise
description Of the natural ones
In addition to the proclamation 10
many public reserves private land
owners in increasing numbers are SET
ting apart portions Of their properties
as harbors for bids and animals which
would otherwise become extinct in the
localities. The sanctuaries so far pro-
claimed are mostly for the protection
OF birds, and many fine lakes and
large swamps frequented by those of
aquatic habits have been prescribed at
the wish of the owners. The move
ment, though comparatively new in
Victoria. began some years ago at
Hoimtorth, South Australia, where an
enthusiast established the first sane
tuary on private land without asking
the aid of government proclamation
and the domesticity and trustfulness
OF the birds within its boundaries ex-
cite the wonder and admiration of ey-
cry lover of nature visiting it.

No fewer than rs out of 6S we'll

Why should the production of lit

With happy domestic life? Are lit

A little analysis will show wherein
there is danger. The English spinners
arc urging American mills to curtail
OF course they are. No one has vet
advanced the belief that the English
spinners are not looking after their
own interests. The significant fact in
cident to curtailment is the brisk ex-
port trade, as great and even greater
than previously, new orders as we'll as
old, even at the high prices, which
goes to show that the English spinners
have no substantial hope for any great
reduction in the price for some time
to come. The English spinners are
advising American spinners to curtail
and at the same time taking as much
cotton as they can get This in the
opinion Of we'll posted observers is
very likely to result in unequal dis
tribution Of the raw product so much
so that the prices for spots is going to
soar next spring.
l. has happened before that UNEQUAL
distribution has caused mills to pay
as much as 100 to 200 points above
the future marks for spots which in
view Of the quotations OF manufac-
tured goods Is on the basis Of future
quotations the pinch is evident.
A general closing down Of American
mills Is not improbable at no very dis
tant date.

No Right to Waste Land.

We believe II Is doubtful IL any man
has a moral right to own land on
which he does not live or to the man.
agement Of which he does not give his
personal attention. And by manage
ment we mean the actual planning
AMI directing OF the farming opera
tions. Therefore. We conclude that
the system Of renting which leaves the
largest share of interest in and con-
troll Of farming operations with the
land owner Is likely to give the best
results. so long as the tenantry or
renting class Is so much lower in in
telligence and financially unable to
furnish the equipment necessary to
properly work the lands which they
occupy. For the present this will
mean better farming. greater i'm
provement and more financial gain to
both tenant and landlord; but II a
permanently successful system Of
agriculture Is ever to be built up and
maintained 1t must be through an in.
crease in the intelligence Of the ac-
tual tiliers Of the soil. There Is no
escape from this conclusion: the ac-
tual and average farm laborer must
be raised to a higher standard Of in
telligence as the only means of in
creasing his effectiveness.
The great problem of the South.
yea. the greatest problem of America
Is the maintenance and increasing Of
soil fertility. Hence. the greatest
problem for both the landlord and
the tenant is the Improvement of the
land. The tenant seems seldom to
realize this fact, and II the land own
er has appreciated 1t fully he has fail
ed in most instances to assert and
maintain his rights.

A good story n told ut the expense
Of constable In rural England. says q
writer In the London Telegraph.
Not long ago . young and pretty
housemaid arrived at the big house of
the neighborheed, and It was observed
that our friends beat often took him
In that directios. At hrst she seemed
to resent his advances. but suddenly
she changed altogether, and the course
Of true love appeared to run smooth
for q time.
One night he called rather later than
usual. 1t was dark. and his fair one
greeted him somewhat coolly, he
thought.
His doubts. however, disappeared
when she suddenly declared that she
would take him into her confidence
She had overheard the particulars of
a plot to break into the house and
steal the plate.
Nov. JIM" she said. "here's q
chance for promotion. The burglars
knew where the plate was kept. so
we've shifted 1t. What l want you to
do II to get into the plate cupboard
and wait till they GENE and open the
door. Then you'll have 'em."
Jim jumped at the chance and half
m hour later was concealed in the
cupboard. The burglars came. as ex.
pected. and promptly got to work.
The constable ehuckled to himself as
he heard the muf1ed whir OF tool on
the outside Of the cupboard door, and
he grasped his stan and waited.
After some minutes waiting he re.
solved to take a cautious peep. But
the door was fast. securely screwed on
the outside by the burglars.
When Jim eventually reused the
house and was released from his pris.
on the burglars and plate. together
with the pretty housemaid Ia confeder-
ate). had disappeared. Moreover, the
constable's position took a good deal
OF explaining away.
