Publicity is the principal hope of the improve
ment club Its good works and ideas impaired
to others. Citizens in section of the city will
sit up and take notice of the citizens In another
section, publicity acquaints them with
each others needs, ambitions. methods and aims.
Publicity takes hold of the public official who might
slumber at the switch of public affairs If he were
not stimulated to good works from time to time by
the putting engines of publicity. The same applies
to the honest and we'll intentioned civic oragn-
ization.

TALKING PARROTS AS "pOL!CE.
Parrots Scare or the Hawks and
Mountain Rats.

Spokane, Wash, May 1G.-John
SPEEDY" Smith, poultry farmer on
Placer creek, in the heart of the
Occur dAlene mining district in
Northern Idaho, has stationed seve-
raj talking parrots as policemen on
his ranch to drive off hawks and
mountain rats, and raids on his pens
are now things Of the past. The par
rots take kindly to the work, and by
their screeching they have forced the
birds Of prey and rodents to give the
ranch wide berth. The rats we're
the worst pests and their raids cost
Smith hundreds Of dollars, getting
into the chicken pens and killing the
pullets and hens by biting their
throats and eating their hearts. Since
placing the parrots in the chicken
yards and pens, not hawk or a
rat has been seen, and Smith believes
he has solved problem that has
given poultry farmers in the noun
tain districts much concern during
the last five years. Farmers In other
parts Of the district say they will try
the plan.
