which may well be termed his
platform, and which embodies
the most important questions
that may be expected to engage
the attention of the next gener-
al assembly. Mr.. Ewing is the
Democratic candidate for Sem
ator in this district and we trust
that every reader of The News
will give his declaration a care
full reading To our mind his
position covers the most vital
points that need legislative at
tention and his avowed course of
action, if elected, could not fail
to bring much good to this dis
trict as we'll as to the entire
State. With his knowledge of
law, his ability and honesty,
with his determination to give
his entire time and talents to the
elimination of present troubles
and the enactment of such laws
as will best serve the future, it
would be a tremendous error
should he fail of election. This
is not the time nor the place, the
day nor the age, to allow party
emblems to guide the ballot. A
crisis in the financial affairs of
the State is inevitable unless our
next Legislature is able to han
die the problem of making the
revenue meet legitimate ex-
penses. That can be done by

at Somerset six saloon men took
out license to sell liquor. The
license will hold good for one

The Elizabethtown News made
the following statement in last
weeks issue; There is a place
in Adair county named Disap-
pointmeut. Probably it was so
named because so many old
maids live there" To settle the
unwarranted suspicion expressed
in the above:quotation, and to do
Justice to the locality mentioned,
we explain as follows: Disap-
pointment is a small creek that
flows into Russell creek near Co.
lumbia, andEderived its name, as
we get it from tradition, from
real disappointment. In the
settlement of this country par
ty of adventures divided, to
meet at a specified time at the
mouth of the little creek. One
party failed to appear while the
other, after a long stay at said
place, was disappointed and
grieved. The fate of the miss.
ing party was never definitely
known, but it was believed they
fell into the hands of savages OF
went farther West, fell in love
with the country along THE
Lincoln Way" forfeited the con
fidence of their associates fol
the allurements lof more fertile
lands. From the date of thi'
occurrence this creek was known
as Disappointment-due to this
fact only:and not from produc
ton of old maids. Said creel
flows through the farm of thu
News man, and he is in position
to testify to the fact that tn
beauty and intelligence of thu
fair sex, on said creek, have new
er been undervalued, never fel
below a high appreciation ant
never brought involuntary oil
maid hood. Disappointment de
derived its name from the Incl
: dent above related and from tn
day it was first settled its peopl
have kept inviolate any compac
that involved the happiness o
others or affected its own honor
No old maids on Disappointment
; and only two old bachelors
fight life's battles alone.

make it an instrument not only
for securing honesty in municipal
affairs, but for lettering the liv-

the men and women who toll
with their hands. In the same

|EVERY INCH A MAN FILLED WITH BIRDS

Owner Tells Of Warfare He Has
Wassd to Keep Out the English
sparrovs,. Pest, and Employ
Or Of Child Labor.

BENJAMIN l.. Dulaney owns . forest
and bird preserve within the limits OF
Bristol. Tenn, which Is said to con-
tain more song birds than any other
space of woodland Of the asme size
on the American continent. There are
100 acres In the reservation. and car.
ing for the feathered songsters. and
studying them. Is Mr.. Dulaney's hob
by. In an idle moment the other day
the big Tennesseean consented to give
some results Of his recent observac:
lions.
II have come to the conclusion.H
said Mr.. Dulaney. that the disappear
ance OF certain Of our trees. notably
the chestnut, Is due to the neglect to-
preserve one species Of birds. the
woodpecker. I understand there are
few woodpeckers left in this part OF
the country. and that the chestnut tree
Ia almost extinct. Owing to this
dearth Of their enemies the borers. on:
which woodpeckers prey, and other
destructive insects have come IN
force.
There are many varieties Of tho
woodpecker, each of which takes care
of particular form Of the pest. As
for the harm the bird does to q tree.
that Is nil. He simply digs out hole
for the family nest In the spring. When
you hear him tapping the tree at other
times he has only located borer and
is going after It. and he has way OF
finding It. I am positive that II we
protected our birds we would have
saved many Of our forest trees.
ST am keeping my forest wild be-
cause l love song birds. They have
come to know that they are safe. The
boys of the neighborhood have been
taught to become friends Of the birds.
Why, in my own yard have seen as
many as thirty or thirty-five nests at
one time.
LAS the English sparrow Is pest,
have naturally been at some pains to
prevent my woods from being tenant
ed by these birds. During the summer
I have been studying these sparrows.
and do you know they have the child
labor problem worked out to q hne
point. am speaking now Of q particu-
lar group Of sparrows which had I'M
der observation.
II watched nest for six weeks. The
sparrows had not built it. Robins put
1t up last year, and in, the spring the
sparrows moved in and took possess
sion. The mother bird laid only one
egg at time, and the first egg was the
only one she herself actually Matched.
AS soon as one egg cracked the mother
bird would lay another, until finally
there were In the nest young In ALI
stages. from a fiedgling to bird new
ly Matched. The actual Matching Of the,
last five eggs was done by the warmth
of the eldest, and those that came I'M
succession. II this isn't an instance OF
child labor, / don't know what II.
II had small shotgun for killing
English sparrows, and wanted to kill
the parent birds. discovered that
among the sparrows on the place there
was something communistic, because
no sooner had l killed couple Of
what l thought were parents than
other sparrows would come and bring
food to the young. In all. had to
shoot Is birds before cut of the food
supply Of the occupants Of the nest"

Why Live In the City7

! have seen q great many farmers
retire at the age OF fifty years or
thereabouts. After life Of hard toll
and scrimping they go to town to live.
They may be worth. perhaps, $4,000,
but what does life OF leisure in town
mean to such people? II they had
broadened out little on the farm
they would get more out Of life when
they came to retire. But why should
any sane individual wish to quit life
on the farm for an existence in the
village? Don't search me for the an
swer. If they have to move In order
to get school advantages for their chill
dren that is another thing, but II they
are able to retire they are able to keep
an automobile and give the children
a refreshing ride to town and back ev-
cry day. The truth IL the man who
can retire from the farm is the one
who can best afford to remain on it
and raise his children in the country.
