Bird study has come to be recogn1z-
ed as one of the most interesting and
helpful features of the great nature
study movement. The Audubon
societies throughout the country have
been among the most effective
along practical lines the propaganda
for a better knowledge and apprecia-
ton of the birds by continually IN
creasing numbers Of people. The Of
ficers of the North Dakota Audubon
society have been actively at work
during the past lear devising plans
for the effective organization of the
people of North Dakota who are or
may become interested In the subject
of bird study, bird protection and bird
increase. The effort has been to
develop a plan of organization which
would give to every individual direct
ly the full value of their money, and,
at the same time, give them h ad-
vantages which can be secured only
through afiliation with others who
have similar interests and are work
ing toward the accomplishment of the
same objects. Added enthusiasm and
increased effectiveness through united
effort are the direct results Of such
organized movements. The object
has been to reach and provide for
dOuII6s G6dCIl6IS dIlu SIAllOAC IA oSALSNA
or in the community. ..
The plans here outlined have been
meeting with much favor. They have
been made possible in part through
the cooperation and assistance Of the
national association of Audubon
societies. The plans are presented in
this way in order that they may be
brought to the attention of larger
numbers of people than 1t would be
possible to reach through direct cor
respondence. .
Plan Nc. 1. All adult persons elect
ed to membership and paying the an
nuaI dues OF 81 will receive their
choice of either a years subscription
to Bird Lore, a bi-monthly magazine
full of interesting and helpful things
about bird life and organized bird
work or Reeds Guide to the Land OF
Birds or Reeds Guide to the Water
Birds and Predaceous Birds. The two
latter books are pocket guides show
ing birds in color and giving informa-
ton as to range, etc. These two little
books have proved remarkably helpful
to persons who van to get to know
the names of birds which they see.
Plan No. 2. This plan is for teach
ers. who wish to organize a junior
Audubon class among the pupils OF
their grades or others. The teacher
should explain to the pupils that their
object will be to learn all they can
about wild birds, and that everyone
who becomes a member VIII be Elk

protect them. Each pupil enrolled
will be required to pay a fee of IL

have paid their fee the teacher viii
send their money to the National as
sociation of Audubon societies, 1917

WILSON'S LABOR
|. views ADVANCED
NEW PRESIDENT TAKES ADJ
VANcED POSITION ON LABOR
CONDITIONS IN GoVERNM EMIT
AL MANAGEMENT - PROMISES
NEW POLICY FOR WORKERS.

Washington, March 15:-President
Wilson in his inaugural address made
pointed references to labor, indicat-
ing that if action carries his
views into realization the trend
toward industrial justice will be &C
centuated and a reshaping Of govern
mental policy relative to labor will en-
sue In keen contrast to official dec
larations of former times comes the
assurance that efforts will be put
forth to institute an era of industrial
equity. The following excerpt from
the inaugural address, recounting the
deficiencies of the government, is sug-
g~estive:
Nor have we studied and perfected
the means by which government may
be put in the service Of humanity, in
safeguarding the health. of the nation,
the health Of it's men and it's women
and children, as we'll as their rights in
the struggle for existence. This is
no sentimental duty. The firm basis
of government is justice, not pity.
These are matters of justice. There
can be no equality of opportunity-the
first essential of justice in the body
politic-if men and women and child
rem be not shielded in their lives, their
very vitality, from the consequences
Of great industrial and social processes
which they cannot alter, control, or
singly cope with. Society must see TO
it that it does not itself crush or weak
en- or damage its own constituent
parts. The first duty of labor is to
keep sound the society it serves. San
itary laws, pure food laws, and laws
determining conditions of labor which
individuals are powerless to determine
for themselves are so intimate parts
of the very business of Justice and le-
gal efficiency" 49,. ..

Plans Outlined for
Effective Bird Study

The teacher will also receive, free
of cost, the splendid magazine Bird
Lore which contains many suggestions
for teachers. 1t will be expected that
the teacher give at least n lesson
a month on the subject Of birds, for
which purpose she will find the leaf
let's OF great value as a basis for the
lessons.
Teachers following this plan should
also send their name, address and
number Of pupils enrolled in the junior
Audubon class to the North Dakota
Audubon society, Fargo, N. D., where
upon they will be enrolled as members
of the state society without a mem
bership fee. This plan is meeting
with splendid response. One superin-
tendent sends word that Junior Audu-
bon classes have been organized in
every grade in the school. Another
writes that every child in school is
no wa member of the Junior Audubon
society and most of them, especially
the little fellows, are entirely taken
up with the work.
Plan No. 3. Local Audubon socie-
ties will be organized in towns or
communities, where conditions war
rant, with their own local officers.
Persons interested in such local
organizations are requested to write
to the president of the North Dakota
Audubon society at Fargo.
Plan No. 4. The spring migration
of birds has already started. 1t is
urged that all who can follow this
wonderfully interesting series OF
events. Studies should be made of
their habits, feeding, nesting, song,
etc. Teachers and parents should
interest the children in the feeding
and watering of birds and in provid-
ing suitable nesting boxes. For other
plans for study of birds, write to the
North Dakota Agricultural college for
the Guide for North Dakota Bird
study recently published.

IN THE LABOR WORLD
SECRETARY WILSON
is LABORING MAN
PRESIDENT WILSON CHOSE WISE
LY IN NAMING WILLIAM B..
WILSON FOR SECRETARY OF
LABoR-NEW OFFICIAL HAS
FINE RECORD.

Washington, March 15.-William 3.
Wilson, union coal miner, former nes-
tor of the labor group in the national
house Of Representatives, a been ell
evated to the position of secretary Of
labor in the cabinet of President Will
son.
Billy Wilson came to congress as
one of the results of the first contest
made by the American Federation Of
Labor to break down the hostility in
the United States congress against
remedial labor legislation. He was
elected to the Sixtieth congress from
the Fifteenth district of Pennsylvania,
and reelected to the sixty-flrst and
sixty-second congresses. In the great
political change which occurred in the
congressional elections for members Of
the lower house, Congressman Wilson
was made chairman of the house la
Dor committee. During his incumben-
cy in this position his astuteneSs, logic,
and clear exposition of labor measures
resulted in favorable reports being rem
dered to the house IN many important
bills. Unlike former labor commit
tees of the house, it became of the
active and effective ones, and every
bill referred to it was given consider
alton.
BILLY" Wilson not only stands now,
but has stood pre-eminent during his
congressional career as possessed of
those attributes capable of assuming
responsibility in the big things of life.
His worth and ability have been thor
oughly recognized by those who have
had the opportunity to be associated
intimately with him, and 1t is with
much qualification that the entire ma
ton will now have an opportunity to
know, by his works, the man who, as a.
coal miner; made the of human
ity the larger portion Of his life's
work. p ,> ...
The American Federation of Labor
executive council unanimously endors-
ed Billy" Wilson as secretary of la
Dor. That Endorsement was ~concurred
in from every quarter Of the great or
ganized labor movement as a well-de-
served tribute for services rendered
to the end that the day of industrial
justice might be brought nearer
The fact that the American Fedora
ton of Labor has been successful in it's
efforts in having congress create a la
department, designed to meet and
solve the industrial problems, so far
as governmental action is necessary,
is cause for qualification. Added to
this the appointment of BILLY" Will
son to preside over that department is
indeed a happy situation. To have a
representative of the wage at
the council table of the president of
the nation is an assurance that labor's
wrongs will receive the consideration
that is due to 1t, and it's hopes and de-
sires presented and championed by n
whose experience qualities him to meet
this responsibility.
