PLUME HUNTERS ROBBERS.
Have Made Humminn Birds Rarity
and Killed Colonies of AIbatross.

So overwhelming has been the de-
struction of the humming birds in the
West Indies said James auckland be-
fore the Royal Colonial Institute of
England, that certain species with Il
restricted habitat have been swept out
of existence and other species are at
the point of determination. Take, for
instance, those little gems known az
ruby threats" which once We're com
mon objects in certain parts of the
West Indies Writing from Trinidad
on November -, the head of the crown
lands office said that though h. had
been in the island for nine Years he
had seen in all that time but two
ruby throats. Nav the green humming
birds are being slaughtered, and at the
London feather sales this month the
skins of l.60o of the birds We're sold
at ono sixteenth nf penny per skin.
To show that the same slaughter is
being carried ont all over the world.
Mr.. auckland next gave extracts from
an official report by the United States
inspector of birds and animals on the
bird reservations established by the
United States government in the mid
North Pacific.
During inc past lew years ! nave
visited all of tho low coral islands in
the North Pacific. and have been APP
palied at the destruction Of the birds
on those islands by plume hunters
"on Marcus Island party had
wiped out of existence one OF the larg-
est albatross colonies in these waters
"Evcrywhcre on Eastern Island
great heaps. waist high of dead alba
trosses We're found. Thousands upon
thousands of both species had been
killed with clubs. the wings and breast
feathers stripped off to be sold as hat
trimmings, and the carcaseS thrown in
heaps to rot.
The same official reported the cap
ture of bird pirates on one island with
the skins of 30000o birds. and on am
other with $4,000 birds.
Mr.. auckland pressed home what a
crime this is to mankind. for "desolate
and lonely indeed will BritonS find the
ocean when there are no more abba
trOsses." He showed too, that the
London trade in fancy feathers de-
ponds largely on Struggled goods. In
dia prohibits the export of the feath-
ers. but the slaughter Of the birds
continues. and the skins are SNUG
sled out of the ports in packages
falsely declared to contain COW hair.

Finally Causes Baldness.--kill
the Germ and Save Your
Hair.--Newbro's Herpi-
eide Will Do 1t

Did you ever try to discover a reason
for the dying Of a valuable plant? You
perhaps found that life was destroyed
by some insect or parasite working
about the roots and sapping away the
elements which go to support plant
life
The dandruff germ exercises the
same destructive influence upon the
life of the hair. 1t forces its way down
the follicle around the hair bulb and
thus prevents the hair from getting
proper nourishnent. The hair dies
and Drops out.
Newbro's Herpicide prevents this by
killing the germ. 1t also frees the
scalp from the accumulations of dirt
and scarf SKIN. With the removal of
these obstacles to a clean, healthy scalp,
the hair will grow naturally and lux
uriantly.
Herpicide is known as the Original
Dandruff Germ Destroyer.
One dollar size bottles are sold and
guaranteed by all druggists.
Applications may be obtained at the
better barber shops and hair dressing
parlors.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The ability of

OF agriculture, in his annual report.
Frequent assertions that the fertil.

the productivity of cultivated land is
diminishing are misleading the public
into the belief that the agriculture OF
this country is decadent and that
there is life in the old formula that
population must tend to increase at a
greater rate than subsistence"
The mean production per acre OF
wheat increased in a greater degree
than the normal increase of popula

Has Aided In Naming Members of
Committee Which Are to Pass on
Reapportionment Bill
ANDREW JOHNSON LANDS PLUM
Bemidji Man, However, Came Near
Losing His Appointment as the
Result Of Someone's Error.
(F. A. Wilson,

Today the various committee ap-
pOintments will be announced in
both houses of the legislature and
the regular work of the lawmakers
will begin. The first important
question to receive attention will be
reapportionment.
William R. Mackenzie of Bemidji,
secretary of the Northern Minnesota
Development association, is on the
job, buster than a bee in the month
of June. He has had much to do
with the selection of the comittee on
reapportionment, both inthe senate
and in the house. These committees
are made up. c. G. Congdon of Du-
luth is to be chairman of the house
reapportionment committee, but far
Their than this nothing is given out
at this time.
In the lottery for seats in the
house northern Minnesota members
shared we'll. D. P. ONeil of Thief
River Falls-Beltrami is in his dis
trict-drew one of the best seats in
the chamber, almost in the center
and only about half way back.
Andrew Johnson of Bemidji came
near being left out in the cold as
!, the result of an oversight on the part
of someone. His name was supposed
to go in as an appointee for a house
position, either as an assistant SER
geant-at-arms or gallery door keep
er. When the list was made up
his name was ommitted and Andrew
came close to being interested in the
sale of a railroad ticket to the me-
tropolis of Beltrami county. The
last minute and Mr.. Johnson
will be one of the house employees,
but just what his work will be has
not been decided upon. Despite
strong pressure brought in his be-
half, A. G. Rutledge, also of Bemidji
and at present deputy sheriff, failed
to land an appointment. F. A.
Wilson was appointed clerk of the
senate committee on parks and high
ways, with Senator Rustad as chair
man.
1t is skidoo for the democrats in
the house at the present session.
There are just twenty-three of them.
All senators we're present at the
opening and all but one of the 12O
representatives, the absentee being
Alex McNeill of Minneapolis who is
at home under a quarantine for dip
iberia.

Week of Prayer Being Observd.

The attention of the public is called
to the gospel services which are be-
ing held each evening in the Pres
byterian church. These services
are union of the Methodist, Baptist
and Presbyterian churches. 1t has
been our custom to begin the New
Year with special union gospel
service the first week. We trust
this year we may have the most help
full and largest attended of any given
thus far. Remember it means the
help OF each one. May we be ''all
with one accord in one place."
