THEY ARE USEFUL.
Boys Not Collecting Eggs or
Killing Birds Now.
They Are Taught That They
Destroy Insects.
THEY HAVE A FRIEND.
Kansas School Teachers Tell of
Their Usefulness.
Game Laws Responsible For In
crease of Quail.
THEY HAVE A FRIEND.

Kansas City, July 4-The small boys
of Kansas aren't making collections of
birds eggs any more-.hat is, not many
boys are. Neither are they killing
birds. The boys are being taught that
birds are useful as insect destroyers,
and as a result the birds are increas-
ing and the growing death rate Of in
sects in Kansas is causing much anti
race suicide agitation in Bugville.
Kansas has more insect destroying
birds now than it has had in years, -
said Prof. L. L. Dyche, the Kansas
game warden, who was in Kansas City
yesterday. II believe there is a larger
number of quail in the state now than
there has been in the last 20 years.
Teachers Are Friends of Birds.
THE reason? It's because teachers
in the grade schools are telling their
pupils Of the usefulness of the bird.
I'm the University of Kansas, the Ag-
ricultural college and the normal
schools of Kansas, the students learn
what a friend the bird is. Those stud
ents VINO become teachers impart these
ideas to their pupils
1.-The small boy. of course, is inclin-
ed to disobey at first, but constantly
year after year, this doctrine is taught
to him until he feels ashamed to kill
the birds. A sort of sentiment in favor
OF the DlEQ Is IOrncQ. his sentiment
in one boy soon is impaired to anoth-
er.
This sentiment is better than law.
Boys will break the law, but their senti-
ment usual" is lasting. No long strings
of birds eggs now are hung in the par
lOrs of country bones. Collections or
birds eggs are out of fashion.
1.-The worst enemy of the songbirds
and of the insect destroying birds arc
the pugnacious English sparrows. They
drive away the other birds and break
up their nests. The bluejays kill many
song birds while they are small.
Laws Responsible for Increase.
"a noticeable increase among the
birds is in the central and western part
of Kansas Trees have been planted
there, and the birds have taken posses
sion. The increase particularly is
among the robins, catbirds, wrens, mar
tins, thrushes and goldffnches.
THE game laws are responsible for
the increase in the number of quail in
the state. These laws have kept out
the market hunters and protected the
birds for the farmers and the Kansas
spOrtsmen. The meadow lark is an
ether bird that has increased rapidly
since it has been protected. Formerly
meadow larks were sold on the market,
but now it is against the law. They
destroy a vast number of insects

RAILROAD NEWS.
June Ticket Receipts Big In.
crease Over Last Year.
"Traveling Month" Pleasing to
the Topeka Agenst.
REACH 10 PERCENT,
Expected That Showing Will
Be the Record Breaker.
Other Items of General Interest
in Railroad World.

All of the Topeka railway ticket Off
ces will show increased receipts for the
month of June as compared with the
same month last year. June is a big
travel month and to know that the rec
ord last year which was better than
the year preceding is to be exceeded
is pleasing to Topeka agents.
The month of June is the last in the
fiscal year with many of the railroad
companies over the country and with
the companies the agents view the year
in the similar nanner-ft is expected
that their reports for the year will be
far in excess of all previous years.
Although no figures are given, it is
Known that a total for the year will
be a most satisfactory increase for the
last II months. For the month of June
over the same month last year the in
crease is expected to reach at least 10
Fer cent. The local agents hint at this.
There is no exception to the increas-
ed business report among all of the rail-
roads entering Topeka. The Rock Is
land, the Santa Fee, the Union Pacific
all support happy looking agents. And
even the Missouri Pacific, hid away
among the buildings on the east side
comes out with a bright and smiling
face-the Missouri Pacific always has
the business. The per cent of increase
on all the railroads is practically the
same.
In connection with this increased traffic
in the passenger and freight business
it might be mentioned that all of the
railroad officials of the lines entering
Topeka report that the increase this
month is simply a criterion of what
has been happening for the last ten
years The business always has in
creased and grown in this manner. The
three big western systems-the Rock
Island, Santa Fe and Union Pacific
have nothing to do but grow and spend
their money accordingly.
A large Iart of the traffic this month
is to Colorado. The three systems offer
big inducements to this cool state. All
three roads have placed new trains to
Colorado this summer and their rates
are the same. With the limited trains,
the excellent accommodations of libra
r., buffet. diner, compartn ent parlor,
and observation cars, and the cheap
rates, very few Topeka people allow the
Colorado chance" to Slip by them.
The Topeka roads have been placing
new trains into service this year. The
Rock Islard has given California, Col
Grade, The Gulf territory and St. Joe
new trains. The Santa Fe has increas-
ed its southwestern, California and Col
crado traffic with more trains. The
Union Pacific has been adding new

FRISCO PUTS ON NEW TRAIN.
Texas Business Demands Better
Southwest Traffic.

Fort Scott. Kan, July 4.-The Fris-
co railroad is getting ready to put on
new time card and it will contain
an entirely new train. The new train
will be the Southwest Limited, and
will run from Kansas City to Texas.
The train is to be fast one with din
ing car service and other equipment
that will make it one of the finest on
the system.
The Frisco expects by this new con-
necton to acquire the handling of
much freight that at present it can
not carry because of time They will
then be able to handle the fast fruit
trains from southern California
The passenger traffic to the south
west has enormously increased in the
past few years and the present SER
vice has been found to be light for
handling 1t. This increase is one of
the main causes for putting on the
new train.

RELIEF MAY BE IN SIGHT.
Topeka Shippers Hope Lemons and
Orange Rates VIII DrOn.


Topeka shippers have no direct in
formation as to how the jobbing lines
of this city will be affected by the
order of the interstate commerce COM
mission for a reduction of rates both
ways between the Pacific coast and
the Missouri river. They were not
parties to the case and will have to
study the order before they know just
what effect it will have here. Some of
the changes are in class rates. which
govern a large number of commodi-
ties.
Local fruit jobbers are interested in
the cut of the lemon rate from Cali
fornia to the Missouri river, which is
reduced from $1.15 to 81. This is the
same rate which formerly applied, but
when congress raised the tariff on
lemons year ago at the behest of
California growers the railroads clap
ped on the extra 8 cents in order to
absorb the benefit. The orange rate
which has been $1.15 for a number of
years, now goes down with the lemon
tariff to 81.

PROHIBITION DID IT?
Passing of Wash Day Has Increased
Work of LaundrYmen.

Atchison, Kan, July 4.-Atchison is
constantly finding new evidence that
prohibition that prohibits is a good
thing. The latest testimony is offered
by a laundryman who has been in
business here many years. This laun-
dryman finds that the trough dry
washing has increased 80 per cent
since the saloons closed. His explana-
ton is that many wives who formerly
did the family washing now have it
sent out, and that women who washed
for others to help support the family
are now more happily situated.
