Wo0dpeckers Have Done Much
Damage To Poles on Highways

Considerable damage is being done
to telephone, telegraph and electric
light poles by members of the wood
pecker family. These birds originally
build their homes in the dead or
dying trunks or limbs of trees. but for
some reason best known to themselves
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 at
tracing considerable attention among
those who are compelled to use quaint
ties of wooden 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 fire.
quently attacked. The birds bore in
to them at any height from the ground
and the holes which they make are
often two or three inches in diameter
and four or Ave inches deep. Sucn
an amount of wood drilled from a stick
of timber which is carrying load of
wires naturally weakens the strength
of the line.
1t would of course, not be a diff
cult matter to exterminare these birds.
However, this is not desirable as they
are among the most beneficial forms Of
bird life native to this country because
they destroy large numbers of insects

TO HELP HOSPITAL
Cali at the Johnson Stove
Store and Secure Can
And Glasses.
FILL THEM, THEN RETURN

Jellies, preserves and other deli
cacies to be used at Reid Memorial
hospital during the ensuing year will
be secured in a rather original man
ner. All local women will be given an
opportunity to contribute. The men,
bers of the society have bought a
large number Of preserve and jelly
glasses and have placed them in
charge of the Peter Johnson company.
S12 Main street. Any one who cares
to fill the glasses are requested to call
at the above named store and secure
any number they may desire.
1t is believed that large portion of
the canned fruits and preserves used
at the institution can be secured in
this manner. 1t will mean a great
saving to the hospital, as large
amount of choice canned goods are
used each year.

which seriously damage forest and
food crops. 1t seems therefore that
methods should be undertaken to COM
pei the birds to revert to their former
habits of boring rather than to exter-
inmate them.
Frequent inquiries have been made
by the forest service in this connec-
ton, but the only information to date
which the government has been able
to obtain is that on casual inspec-
ton of treated and untreated pole
line in Louisiana. In that region 1t
was found that poles that had been
impregnated with creosote oil were
not attacked by the birds, whereas
untreated poles under the same con-
ditions were very severely injured.
Whether or not creosoie will prevent
such attack is not definitely known.
but the service is investigating this
problem, and should this oil prove pre-
tentative it will fulfill two-fold pur-
pose 1t will protect the poles from de-
cay and destruction from animal life.
In Southern Indiana. some members OF
a traction company thought that they
could prevent the further destruction
of their poles by filling the holes in
the wood with stones. The birds,
however, simply drilled around the
stones and made the conditions much
worse. This apparently does not seem
to be a means of preventing their de-
predations.

with her prompted by jealousy and
despite her protests.
The letter was written by Rife some
time ago and in 1t he tells of his in
tention to commit a desperate deed.
The contents of the letter have not
been made public but. it is alleged in

Threatened his life repeatedly. His
counsel is expected to attempt to
prove that these threats had been
made and that because of his unre-

not see how any defense at all can
be made for the man. He talked to
several persons a shorts time before
