COUNT BIRD VALUES
Conservation Men Look In
to Flying Resources
Kansas City Congress
Asked to Act-Birds Con-
serve Woods, Waters and
Fields.

New York, Sept. 19-Planning the
first scientific and comprehensive cen
gus of the bird and. animal life OF the
United States, as one of the nation
most valuable natural resources, deie-
gates from the National Association
of Audubon Societies are today taklpe
a prominent part in the activities OF
the Third National Conservation Con-
gress that has been called at Kansas
city. Federal control of migratory
birds and State regulation of the SAFE
of game are two special objects that
the Audubon workers are striving to
attain through their active co-opera-
tion in the national work for the
cause of conservation. AT the re-
quest Of Clifford Pinchot and other
leaders in this movement, the associa-
tion's conservation committee will con-
tinue this work, which it has carried
on in cooperation with other organl-
cations interested in the saving OF
the lumber, land, water and mineral
resources of the land.
Following the great gathering OF
conservationists, a delegation from
the national Audubon organization is
considering tour of the middle west
to continue it's demonstration OF the
fact that protection OF the spesr- de-
stroying birds is an important factor
in conserving the fields, woods and
streams of the continent. That the
national wealth is being affected by
the market butchery Of the country S
waning game supply, is also being
urged. In the field of the corserya-
ton of vital resources, the preserva-
ton of the shore birds, they check
plague and pestflence in their nat
ural function of scavengers and mos
quito destroyers, is shown to be es-
sentially necessary.
Action toward making Uncle Sam
the guardian of the economically val
liable hosts of birds that wing their
way over separate States, where pro-
tective legislation differs and is often
lacking, is expected from the National
Conservation Congress, that has al
ready endorsed this idea at it's con-
vention in st. Paul last yea. 1t is
also believed that The thousands Of
delegates gathered from every State
in the Union will return to their
homes prepared to push Legislation
looking to the increas of bird life
that has for years been urged by the
Audubon workers.

most every other source of this ma
tons wealth and prosperity are inf1u-
enced to more or less extent by the
birds which we are working to save
from extinction" said T. Gilbert Pear
son, who was chosen to represent at
Kansas City the National Association
Of Audubon Societies, at its headquar-
tiers, 1874 Broadway, yesterday. Zone
of the greatest problems, therefore, in
connection with the conservation OF
our national resources is the preser-
walton of the wild bird life Of the
country"

Bond Issue Carried.

At the election held last Friday
on the question of whether or not
the School Board should be au-
thorized to issue bonds to the
amount of $4,000 for the cree
ton of new school buildings or
additions to the present building,
etc. The Board was authorized
to issue the bonds by a vote of
l65 to II. This is a very light
vote but it was doubtless caused
by the voting being held at the
school building which is situated
some distance from the business
portion of the city.
1t is understood that the bonds
will be hoated at once and the inn
provements started as soon as pos
sible and when they have been
completed Mt. Sterling will have
one of the most up-to-date school
buildings in the State.

The big contest has started on
much better than we expected. In
fact we never knew of a contest
where so much interest has been
manifested in so short time. 1t
will be seen from a glance at the
standing of the candidates that
there has been some work already
done. Friends of the contestants
seem to be interested as much or
more than the contestants so far.
Subscriptions have been coming
right along, both old and new, and
the coupons are being clipped.
Some of the contestants do not as
yet understand that they can turn
in subscriptions and receive certi-
ficates for votes, but they do not
have to cast the votes until they
so decide. A good number of
these certificates have been issued
and are being held back.
The ballot box has been placed
in the ADVOCATE office and those
who wish to vote coupons can do
so by placing them in the bollot
box in the window of the ADvo-
CATE Office. These coupons count
the same as subscriptions. Cut
them out and vote them. They
will appear in every issue of this
paper.
During this week the vote has
been heavy considering the short
period the contest has been open.
Friends are dividing their votes
among the young ladies, and we
find that a large number of these
friends have not as yet been So
, lieited by the young ladies. Sub
scribers figure that they are not
out one cent extra for this paper
and they are willing to help any
young lady who will ask them for
the votes on their subscription.
These young ladies should ever
keep in mind the story of the early
bird. There is going to be some
surprises in our next issue giving
the standing of the young ladies.
The contest is the talk of the town.
District No. 5 as you will see from
the list published today is the dis
trict containing the largest number
of contestants. There promises to
he a lively fight in this district.
WHO WILL WIN.
Who will win in this wonderful
race is now the question you hear
on every side. Some of the girls
who were given the bonas of 5000
votes are still where they started,
while others have been doing some
hustling. 1t is only going to take
q little hustle early on the part of
the candidates who win in this
race. When you take into con-
sideration that this big trip covers
some of the leading cities of the
United States, in addition to the
grandest pleasure resorts in the
whole world, it is no wonder such
interest has been worked up al
ready.
A number of new can didates
have been entered already this
week and few have arrived too
late for this issue. Next week the
nominations will close and then
you can select from the list printed
the young lady you want to help
in this contest. Please remember
that the nominations positively
close with next week and no one
will be allowed to enter except

the votes possible and have them

before Tuesday night of each week
so you will stand well up in the
list at the start. Your friends
will then come to your assistance
and help keep you up at the top of
the list all through the contest.
Many of the ADVOCATE readers
are looking after the interests of
their favorites without telling her
word about it. Some will not
know that they are being helped
until they see the result published.

dates. Get the free vote certificate
that will appear in each issue of
the ADVOCATE and vote them for
your choice each week.

any other candidate, that is to
transfer her votes to some other
candidate. She may however give
her votes to some young lady that
is not now in the race, should she
so desire. This rule will not be
broken under any circumstances.
Nominations for candidates will
close in short time and those who
do not get in at once Will be out
of the race. Everything will be
conducted in a straight forward
manner and every candidate will
be given a square deal in every
respect.
