GOV. O'NEAL WILL
PROBABLY co TO
SEAG|RT NEXT WEEK
Receives Invitation to At
tend the Notification
Ceremonies of Gov
ernOr Wilson

Montgomery July 31.-(Special.) -Gover-
nor oNeal this afternoon received a tel
egram from William F. McComb, chair
man of the democratic national commit
tee, urging him to attend the notifca-
ton ceremonies to be held at Seagirt on
August Z. The governor said this morn
ing that he hoped to be able to go to
seagirt for the notification ceremonies,
and he announced this afternoon that he
would probably attend.
The telegram from Mr.. McComb is as
follows:
Permit me to earnestly urge that
you accept the invitation extended to
you by Hon. Ollie James to attend the
notification ceremonies to be held at Sea-
grit on August I. Your presence there
would not only be greatly appreciated
by Governor Wilson and this committee,
but would also be an added assurance of
a united and harmonious party, and would
contribute much to the achievement of
democratic success | shall hope this
committee will be favored with your ad-
vice and suggestions throughout the cam
paign as well as at that meeting"
Governor O'Neal has been warm
personal friend and admirer of Woodrow
Wilson since he first assumed the duties
of chief executive of Alabama. He was
one OF the first to tender to Governor
Wilson his support when the latter was
nominated for President, and it is likely
that he will be called upon by Wilson
campaign committee to make a number
of speeches in behalf of the democratic
candidate.

The Return of the Birds

likely that they want quiet, safe places in
which TO build their nests and think the
tropics too crowded.
How the birds are able to fly such long
distances and find their way is another
mystery. They cross oceans and continents
and return even to the very nests they oc-
cupied the preceding year. The hummng-
bird builds its nest in Alaska. The grouse
and the plover who winter in Patagonia
go TO the Arctic Circle for the summer
Yet they seldom get lost, and though many
perish by the way the majority make the
journey in safety. One explanation is that
the young birds learn the way from the old
ones. Yet in the fall migration the young
birds often start south before the old ones
who probably are fatigued with the labors
of bringing up a family and want to rest
and recuperate before starting on the long
migratory flight Unless they persuade a
few older birds to go along with them ana
show them the way we must assume that
they are great deal cleverer than birds
are usually supposed TO be.
We seldom see the birds on these Won
derful Journeys and people used TO sup
pose when they disappeared In winter that
they were alternating, as many other ami
mails do. This is because they fly very
! high, and also do most Of their travelling
at night. Birds that never fly at night
ordinarily do so when they are migrating,
| and birds that take it easy at other times
| become very energetic and determined at
/ this time. They fly with unaccustomed
| strength and rapdity, and neither difficult
/ ty nor danger can turn them from their
! course. for during the migratory season
/ the bird nature is attuncd to great deeds.
