CHILDREN TO GUARD BIRDS,
Young Army will be Rallied by Teachers
New Move at Annual Audubon Meet
ing. Boys and Girls Eager.

New YORK, October Is. To enlist
every American boy and girl in an army
of young bird guards that may number
millions, a conference of teachers from
many parts of this country has been
! called in connection with the annual
meeting of the National Association of
Audubon Societies on October 3lst in
this city. Men and women, representa-
tives of the school workers, have offered
personally to attend this gathering, while
many others are sending in their support
and suggestions for lining up their young
charges to study nature and fight for the
protection of the native birds. An ad-
vance guard of 10000 children in the
Southern States has already been form
ed for this purpose by some six hundred
teachers, and with the support of the
schools and the necessary fighting funds,
the Audubon workers hope to establish
forces of thousands more in every sec
ton of the United States.
| AS ammunition for the proposed child
host, millions of pamphlets telling of
the habits and uses of American birds
will be sent out from Audubon head
quarters here. Armed with these and
drilled in the study of nature, the boys
and girls are to skirmish over their home
country, feeding and providing shelter
for the starving birds in winter and
guarding them from thoughtless de-
struction by pot hunters. In the train
ing that it is intended to thus give the
youngsters of every locality, educational
authorities are declaring that splendid
results in the development of young
minds and faculties can be obtained.
In Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Virginia, Mississippi, Georgia,
Alabama, Maryland and the Carolinas, the
ten regiments of children already enroll
ed on the proposed basis of the Junior
Audubon Army are proudly wearing
handsome buttons and are we'll drilled in
the 100000 nature study leaflets that
| have been sent them with this insignia
from Audubon headquarters here. Each
private in the little army has paid in a
cent month with which some of the ex-
penses of the quartermaster's depart
ment are met. Special funds to maintain
and extend such child force throughout
the country are now being raised by the
Audubon workers, who assert that no
branch of their work will yield better
results for bird protection.
''The chief hope of saving the valu-
able and beautiful birds for this nation
lies in the children who form the coming
generation," said T. Gilbert Pearson,
secretary of the National Association of
Audubon Societies, at it's headquarters,
1874 Broadway, in this city. Though
our annual meeting will show increased
adult membership and work in many
other fields of bird protection, we be-
lieve the rally of our new army of chill
dren will mark the start of most effec-
tive line of activity. The boys and girls
are eager to help, and the idea is being
taken up with enthusiasm by teachers
everywhere"

Headaches and Their Treatment.

In treating headache, there is one
safe rule to follow:-Never use any
medicine containing acetanilid or similar
coaltar derivatives without the advice
OF your physician. They may give
temporary relief, but they almost never
reach the cause of the trouble and are
likely to weaken the heart. The most
Common form Of headache, frequently
called sick headache, arising from a
dtisordered stomach, may be avoided
BY care in the choice of food. Shun
pastry, candy and rich food, take time
TO eat, chew your food thoroughly and
Keep your bowels in good condition by
using one-half to one teaspoonful Of
L. F. Atwood's Medicine after each
meal. This old reliable remedy has
been perfect blessing to thousands
Tor sixty years. Get bottle today,

Seeks New Route Into ROckland.

The Rockland Courier Gazette reports
that during the past week crew has
been working northward from the South
Thomaston line, seeking, it is under
stood, route whereby the Rockland,
South Thomaston & St. George railroad
may enter the city and not be dependent
upon the track of the Rockland, Thomas
ton & Camden street railway. The pro-
posed route will tap the south end resi-
dental section to the eastward of South
Main street and will terminate near the
Maine Central station, it is rumored.
This would obviate the necessity of the
present transfer system at Ingraham
Hill, which is anything but popular with
the travelling public.

YES OR NO?
The Court May be Asked to Decide.

{
Augusta Correspondence Bangor Commercial.
Talk of putting some Of the questions
which have arisen concerning the con.
duct of the last election up to the Su-
preme Judicial court is heard everywhere.
The last council meeting revived interest
in this already much discussed subject
and the consensus of opinion seems to be
that the whole question will eventually
reach the court.
1t has been suggested that if the CUES
ton Of whether the returns from Lime
stone, Athens, Westfeld and Matinicus
be put up to the course, the result will
be an anti-repeal victory in any event,
for if the returns from those towns are
admittedly wrong, and no record exists
whereby they may be corrected, the
effect would be to eliminate the vote of
those towns for both sides from the
count. Such an event would leave some
thing like 800 for mo" If the sample
ballot record or the extended record
in the book is accepted in each case, the
result will be about 700 NO." The only
way by which the tabulation can remain
as it now stands is to refuse to accept
either the sample ballot or the book as
record and let the vote stand as returned
by the clerk and selectmen.
1t is further suggested that if the
governor and council accept the unsatis-
factory records presented in these cases
and correct their returns by them, they
will thereby establish precedent which
may return to bother them in the next
election, in the event that it is close A
man close to the administration pointed
out Friday the fact that it would not do
to count one way now and anothe wa

Judge E. M. DOan

Judge Fletcher M. Doan, who is a candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court, is one of the oIdtime residents of Arizona. He has lived along the Mexican border from the southwest to the southeast corner of the territory for twenty-four vears fourteen years of which he has served on the Supreme Bench. He has reg ularly held court in more coun- ties of the territory than any other Judge, and is personally known to as many miners and cowmen as any man in Arizona.
 He was admitted to practice law before the Supreme Court of New York in 1868, ard in Mis, souri, in 1869 where he practiced until coming to Arizona in 1888.
 He first stopped at the point in Yuma county. which the Govern ment Record shows to be the hottest place in the territory, and after trying to develop an irriga- tion enter prise for several years moved 10 Pinal county. where there was more water and less heat. and served there as Dis trict Attorney from 1894 until 1896 since which time he has been serving on the Supreme Bench.
 While his Yuma county exper- fence cost him his savings of twenty years. it taught him that grass does not grow in Arinona without water; and it aslo show ed him the way to build ditches and canals for Arizona ranchers. The great value of his decisions on the water question is due to the fact that he knows as well how to builG a mud "tapon" as he does to ward a complaint. calling for more water.
