SPARROW BOUNTY FAILS
TO ATTRACT SMALL BOY

Very little bounty has SO far been
paid the small boy for the killing of
the English sparrow. While there Is
some surreptitlous use of the air rifle
and sling shot, the fact that village
and township ordinances prohibit the
use of these weapons has something
To do with the small number OF spar
rows killed TO date.
The season has been open for about
two weeks. and barely 100 birds have
been presented for bounty. However,
the Christmas holidays will be i'm ef-
feet soon and Il is expected that the
small boy will be more successful
then.
A bounty of cents per head Is paid
for sparrows. but there must be at
least 10 birds presented. Each string
of birds must be taken To the village
or township clerk who will pay the
bounty and in turn draw an order
on the county treasurer for the

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION
SUGGESTIONS.

A Christmas star is in harmony with
tho thought of Christmas whore a
change from the customary tree is de-
sired. Cut a large five pointed star
from heavy pasteboard. Cover it with
either white Paper or gilt. Trim the
outer edges with the tinsel that comes
by the yard. over the rest of the star
fasten all the bright and glitterng or.
naments that you can get on. reserving
the center for the handsome and larg-
est piece. Fastcn the star to the wall
securely and arrange candle holders
To outline the points and lend a dec
placed. From the star should radiate
ling streamers Of yellow and white rib
bon. If expenses are TO be considered
the ribbons may be cut from cambria
or even crepe paper. The presents
should all be tied i'm colored papers
and may be arranged 10 make fine
show. An the candclabras at the dis
posal OF the decorator should be light
ed and other lights turned out. To
keep the scheme of gold and white tn
candles should be of those colors.
4 rainbow is another idea for the in
genous decorator. A small streamer Of
many colored crepe paper should be
arranged over nails and fine pins -
simulate a rainbow. The candle may
be arranged in stars and stud tie
background. Long falling lines of the

on Huge Sum for Herds
Entertainment.
GRAND LODGE NEXT SUMMER

Mayor Breitmeycr and members OF
the board of commerce yesterday as
sured the grand lodge officers or the
Benevolent and Protective order OF

the convention.
He said several million dollars had
been left I'm Los Angeles last summer,
and announced that IL Detroit persons
went down into their pockets 10 help
the local lodge in its plans for the en-
tertainment of the visitors, they should
not look on the amount as a donation
but as an investment. He declared
that such investments would return a
three fold profit, basing that state
mont on previous conventions.
Just how much money Detroit viii
spend Is a question, but from gossip
around the Cadillac yesterday, the eX-
ccutive committee is considering fig
ure near 100000. Mayor Breitmeyer
ntimated that the city may be called
on to dip into its treasury, and it is as
sured that citizens in general will be
called on.

and members Of the board OF COM
merce. Mayor Breitmeyer introduced
Grand Exalted Ruler Sammis. who inn
pressed on his auditors the magnitude
OF the undertaking and its Importance

served reputation for entertaining" he
declared "but you will never i'm all

AirshIp Progress.

Information which is coming from
various sources is OF nature 10 suR-
gest that impressive progress will be
Indicated by some OF the alrship dem
onstrations that will be given before
the close OF next summer. II seems
practically assured that there will be
something new. both in the dirlgible
balloon type OF ship and In areoplanes.
In Germany, the inventors are direct
ing their ingenuity mainly TO a better
ment OF the gas-bag ship while In the
United States and France interest Ia
mainly centered In the areoplane.
From Berlin the startling news
comes that The military alrshlp of the
future Is TO be armed with small can
non or machine guns. The American
Consul at Frankfort has recently re-
ported that huge airship. upon diff
ferent design from the Zepplin ship.
Is about TO be built. Ii is expected
that its capacity will be much greater
than that Of the Zepplln ship. and II
Is 20 be driven by powerful motors at
an estimated speed Of fifty miles per
hour.
In the division Of aeronautics en-
bracing the aeroplane, there is the
promise by a New York inventor OF a
model that will surpass In certain
qualities, the machines OF the Wright
Brothers. There has been no public
demonstration made with this model,
but several well-known areonauts who
have seen II have expressed the be-
lief that II will perform In a snrpass-
Ing way. This Is the Herring aero
plane, and an exhibition, under con-
tract with the United States govern
ment, is TO be given at Fort Meyer by
the inventor sometime during the
coming summer. There seems reason
for the expectancy that this is to be
great year in aeronautics.

Microbes came into existence
about fifteen years ago. Since then
they have multiplied 10 that they
form one OF our staple products.
Microbes are OF two kinds the
profitable and the Improbable. They
are also called germs, n germ being
mierobe who has been through coll
lege. But generally speaking. ml-
crobe by any other name costs Just
as much.
There Is no law against the manu-
facture of microbes by minors, so
that every one, down 10 the most dim
inutiye infant, is constantly engaged
In their culture. They are distribu-
ted by flies, wind and doctors, being
one OF the most important assets OF
medical science
One of the best ways TO get col
lection of microbes Is from the ruby
lips of sweet girl. DO not take
them all at once, but only on the In
stallment plan. Remember also that
there are good microbes and bad ones.
The good microbe wears clothes. is
always ready to roll up his
sleeve and go TO work In good cause I;
has sincere, open, hearty, bluff man
ner, and looks you straight In the eye.
The bad microbe Is dressed in gaudy
oolors, smiles crafty smile, ana has
a sandbag up his sleeve. When an
army of bad microbes, travelling
rough-shod through your system, Is
suddenly met by an army OF good mi
crobes fierce battle ensues. And II
the latter win II makes you feel good.
But II the former win you feel deyas-
