HISTORY OF THE AUDUBON SOCIETY
By Mrs. VIM. FaIgsr, President

A meeting to organize the Audubon
society was held in the Round Table
tent at Chautauqua July II, 1908.
Mrs. George Dixon presided an6
talks on Bird Protection were given
by Mrs. William Falger and DR.. o. G
Libby, of Grand Forks AS result
of this meeting - people became char
ter members, and at the meeting the
following day the first officers
were elected and a constitution adopt.
ed.
The work of posting the Chautauqua
grounds was taken up and 80 of the
yellow posters that the board Of direc.
tors had on hand were put up.
The idea of securing the islands in
the lake for bird reserves was taken up
and we have been working for them
ever since, with the result that the leg
islature at its last session made the
islands into reserves.
Ten dollars worth of the National
Audubon bird literature has been given
away Bird books costing eleven dol
lars have been presented to the library.
In the spring of 1910, by order of
Governor John Burke, as head Of the
state militia, approved by Supt. Hon.
Joseph Kelly, the military grounds
were made into bird reserve and
posted throughout with signs forbid
ding hunting thereon.
This reserve with the Chautauqua
grounds has already made noticeable
increase in the number Of insect eating
birds among which are our finest sing
ers, and affords u place of rare interest
to bird lovers.
When the new game law passed in
1909 went into effect prohibiting spring
shooting, the principal sections Of the
law were printed and posted in con-
spicuous places
We have had four bird lectures given
in Devils Lake, one by Mr.. Eastgate Of
Tolna, one by Mr.. G. o. Shields, Pres
ident of the League of American
Sportsmcn and two by Mrs. Falger.
In April, 1909, a Junior Audubon
Club was organized with 70 charter
members.
To interest the children in the study
and protection of birds has been our
constant aim-and we are proud Of the
work done along this line.
The Juniors hold regular meetings
the second and fourth Saturdays Of
every month during the winter and new
members are being added at almost ev-
cry meeting. Many of them have fed
the birds all winter and are now build
ing bird houses for the summer mi
grants. Six dollars Of their funds, to-

| gether with the same amount from the
Senior society has been used to purchase
bird literature, part of which will be
sent to every school in Ramsey county.
On Bird and Arbor day they are
planning to set out two mulberry trees.
In October a Junior Audubon of go
members was organized in Mayville
under the supervision of Miss l.. G.
Watson and Miss Rutherford. Besides
talks given in the Mayville schools, a
lecture, illustrated, was given in the
Normal chapel, which was we'll attend
ed.
1t gave us much pleasure to speak
to the farmers at the recent institute
on the Economic Value of Birds-for
they are among the farmers very best
friends, destroying millions of insects
and weed seeds that are harmful to
him.
Our society, unlike most organiza
tons. has no dues, fee Of one dollar
being paid for a life mebership. Any
one interested in birds is cordiallv in
vited to join. The study of birds is a
continual source of delight. 1t takes
You out of doors; it makes you forget
the petty cares of life; it teaches OBJ
servations in a most interesting man
ner, it teaches one to protect the weak:
and to be kind and thoughtful; it de-
velops art, both in the blending of
beautiful colors and in the harmony of
sound, and has been an Inspiration for
many boy and girl to live bigger,
better, nobler life.

Mystery Connected with Death.

Belle Fourche.-News that reached
here from Stoner, a new town in the
northern part of the state, indicates
that there is some mystery attaching
to the death of Johnnie Howe, a 10
year-old boy Of that place. The boy
was found hanging by the neck in an
unused barn, On March IS. The boy
had been in the habit of sleeping in a
cabin near his parents ranch with the
hired man, but on the day his body was
found he failed to show up for break
fast and search was started. His Sis
ter visited the cabin and not finding
him there, the s%earchers finally went
to the barn, where the boy was seen
hanging from a beam by a halter rope.
He had his cap and mittens or and his
feet we're two feet from the floor. AS
there was no reason at all known why
he should have taken his life, the fam
lily suspect foul play and have offered
a reward for the clearing up Of the
mystery. 2

Hot Springs, Ark, where Mrs. Dott

S. e. Young Resigns.

Plankinton.-The resignation OF S.

state training school at Plankinton,
after ten years of faithful and effective
service, vas handed to the state board
Of charities and corrections in session
at the state ~penitentiary. The resig-

During all Of his service as super

Mrs. Young was the matron of the
school, and as such did a work for
character building, for the young peo-
pie placed under har charge, which the
state will never cease to appreciate.
Her death last November took from
Superintendent Young his strongest
reason for remaining in the work, and
his resignation follows, to take effect
on the first Of next September.
This is said to be the first time in
the states history where the head of
an institution has voluntarily resigned
his position.
1t is reported that A. r. Schlosser,
son of George Schlosser, who served
at the institution under Superintend.
ent Young, is likely to secure the
appointment.

Once a year the goddess took out
her sacred car, and mounting 1t, went
along the Milky Way. AS she drove
over the lands, all the GOODNESS of win
ter passed away and spring awoke in
all it's %gladness. The leafess trees
shook out their tiny buds; the flowers

began to twitter on the boughs and

the earth glad with the same life that

charged with selling liquor to a mixed

showing that Zolnowsky was not on
duty at his place of business at the
