PICK BIRD GUARDS.
Water Birds and Heron Need Help
Breeding Grounds Beset.

10 guard the lives and homes of mil
lions of water birds about the whole
continent, force of some 60 wardens
is being organized at the headquarters
of the National Association of Audubon
Societies. Over the wild areas of many
of the SO national bird reservations
that stretch along the Pacific and AT,
lantic coasts, the Gulf of Mexico and
the big inland lakes these men are soon
to take up their lonely patrol to protect
and care for their feathered charges.
Recent reports from these reserves, and
other bird colonies that the Audubon
workers have secured to ward oil the
threatened extinction of various species
of water birds, show that this year spec.
ial vigilance will be required to defend
the hocks that nest there from whole-
sale destruction at the hands of profes-
sional poachers.
Far into the cypress swamps of Flori-
da, Louisiana and the Carolinas, where
few colonies of white heron still sur
vive the slaughter for the millinery
market that has already driven them
from the upper regions of this country,
il is planned this year to send an auXili-
airy force of wardens. Although state
laws forbid the killing of these most
beautiful of birds, word has lust been
received at Audubon headquarters that
organized gangs are seeking them out
at their breeding grounds and butcher
ing hundreds of mother birds for their
aigrette pmmes while the young are
left to starve. Special funds are today
being raised to provide additional war
dens to stand guard over these remain
ing heron colonies.
While the Audubon wardens may be
called upon to cover one new national
- In1r -,
special arrangements are
being made for guarding Bird island on
Orange lake, Florida, which has lust
been purchased ms a bird sanctuary by
the Mary butcher Memorial Fund. A
great colony of ibis and herons is
known to be nesting on this island ref
uge, where il is reported that hundreds
of white herons have heretofore been
butchered by poachers to secure the
aigrettes for the millinery market.
Though two wardens in Florida have al
ready been shot to death. a volunteer
has Just offered his services for this post
Of danger.

tongue to the post only confirmed his
suspicious and he entered the house TO
ask the Filipino where he had obtained
such paint.
The Filipino was yoluble in his
structures on this particular 'paint,
which he said he had found on the
beach near his home. He had attempt
ed to mix it with water, but unable to
get the proper proportions, had aban'
doned it.
The remainder of the FIVE. gallon can
he had found was reposing in shed
back of the house and he was only too
willing to sell il. An offer of IL pesos
for the "paint'' was accepted with
alacrity and the Chinese became the
owner of the tabooed drug.
1t was an easy matter for him to dis
pose Of il in gram lots at fabulous
prices, and from his original investment
of 12 pesos he cleared 4,673 pesos
But suspicious were aroused and an
investigation led to his arrest.
Customs authorities believe that the
fve.gallon can found by the San Mar
cis0 Filipino was originally part of n
shipment of the cOntraband drug
which was brought in on a Hong Kong
steamer. When customs officials board
ed the vessel the importer threw his
shipment overheard and one can floated
to the San Narciso beach.
Now every house post in San Narsiso
and the surrounding towns is under the
suspicion of the opium sleuths who are
still looking for the remainder of the
lost drug.

New Way to Keep a City Clean.

Minneapolis is blazing a new trail.
She has found out that no city that
wants to be a clean city can neglect
its garbage handling. and she has gone
to work to set a pace for the rest of us.
The real beauty of it, too, is that she
has solved the garbage problem-0r
more nearly solved il than has anybody
else up to date She NAV be said to
stand first in the list of cities in Ameri-
ca in the solution of the sanitary dis
posal of refuse and other towns are
sending delegations TO inspect tins
garbage system. Winnipeg has already
patterned after it,
Nearly four years ago this campaign
to handle garbage without nuisance was
started and today il is pronounced an
unqualified success. No more are there
foul, maggotv garbage cans and all be
cause n citv ordinance provides that
every housewife shall drain the garbage
of all moisture and wrap it in n paper
before putting it in the can. This not
only insures clean can but the spaces
between the paper allow the air to
circulate and keep the garbage from
freezing and adhering to the can in cold
seasons. In other words, heat, mois-
ture and the fly are all eliminated. ANY
kind of paper can be used but as
rule there is plenty of wrapping paper
that comes around packages from the
grocer and butcher, as well ms old
newspapers. that the housewife is glad
to get rid of. That all this may be
done properly the board of health issues
a printed card of directions for the
housewife and advises that it be hung
in her kitchen.
But this is only an important intro
duction to the story of the garbage sys-
tenn which is being adopted by large
city as unit. When the garbage man
comes around to collect his quota he
finds clean can, he is not faced with
wet and dripping refuse and in cold
weather he does not take pick and
batter the can in order to lift the
frozen material. He merely loads the
garbage into large steel box,
resembling a bath tub, and
which has 100 feet capacitv He hauls
this to a central transfer station, where
the tanks are lifted off the wagon truck
bv means of an electric hoist and plac-
ed upon fiat ears which convey them
to the crematory or disposal plant. A
train of several ears soon reaches the
crematorv lust outside the city. where
the boxes are lifted from the cars by an
electric hoist and dumped directly in
to the fire. In other words, from the
time the garbage is rolled in paper by
the housewife until the ashes are taken

A brush fire in the rear of W. B. Stacy's

considerable alarm last Monday afternoon.
On account of the location of the fire many
thought that building was ablaze and an

fire department. The fire, which probably
was started by spark from the box shop
chimney, was quickly extinguished.
