I'm not 20 sure Of that" daddy went on. There is Germaines case She
is a little girl who has a cat named Jim. Germaine lives with her grand
mother and with her Aunt Mamie.
EVERY day Germaine goes to school. Last winter ell the children in the
school had the whooptng cough. 1t is a very nasty kind of cough. and when
she is a little girl who loves to play outdoors and it we very hard for
her to stay in the house. She played with her dolls ana had tea parties until
she raj thed OF lonely games.
Jim, who Is very fond of Germaine, followed her about slept in her lap or
cheerfuny played guest at the tea parties, at which he wal given milk out Of
Oe of the dolls teaCups
IF it hadn't been for Jim I'm afraid Germaine would have been a much
loneher little girl, for the grownups had no time to play with her. 1t kept them
busy thinking up new kinds of medicine to give her or coaxng 1t down her
unwilling throat. Germaine doesn't like % take medicine.

Germaine had eve cared much about school, but now it seemed a fine place

mates how very i'll she had been.
"An that day at home Jim slept very quietly under the kitchen stove. He
did lot seem to care for his milk or meat but grandmother explained this by
saying he missed Germaine.
But when Germaine came home from school Jim still stayed under the
stove and did not seem to notice her.
And the next day Jim began to cough just like Germaine had done.
"Why, believe that cat has the whooping coughT said grandmother.
And he had. He coughed for several weeks, refusing the medicine Of

And this year jim has had the whoopng cough again. In fact, he has
had it two o. three times.
And Germaines grandmother and her Aunt Mamie ART quite sure that

ST. Louis The Times of that city said:
1t 10 not at all remarkable that Miss
Jessie Wilson came to st, Louis and
behaved throughout her brief stay like

The Wilson's are clearly what are
known pretty definitely as nice people.
They appear to have that proper feel
ing which is a much surer guide to
right conduct than any number OF
rules.
Nevertheless, it is gratifying to find
a youthful individual, suddenly trans
formed from obscurity, in a national
sense, at least, into a person of i'm
p%ortanCe, who does not blunder a lit
tie in word or action.
The attentions paid Miss Wilson in
st. Louis were numerous and emphatic
enough to have turned the heads of a

not affect Miss Wilson in this way. II

DELUsIVE FEARS.

Under the Inappropriate caption of
An Appeal to Reason, shoe manufac-
turers Of this country join in a pathetic
plea against having the small duty re-
manning upon foreign footwear remOv-
ed. It would seem that the facts
which they present regarding their
industry ought to be enough to dispel
the fears which they express.
They say that the retail dealer in
shoes, not less than the worker, the
manufacturer and the wholesale deal
er, views with apprehension anything
tending toward the serious disturbing
OF conditions and the sharpening Of an
already keen competition which has
resulted in placing shoes at the bottom
of the column in margin of profit in
making or selling as compared with
n other general commodity or line of
merchandise"
Still 1t does not appear that the bust
ness is not fairly profitable, and no
aso is given for believing that the
removal of the duty of 10 per CEN on
shoes of bovine leather" and Is per
cent on shoes of kid leather" will
make any ~perceptibIe difference.
This appeal to reason says that the
industry in this country employs more
than 100000 workers, has 5000, 600, 0OO
capital invested in it, and has a value
Of annual production reaching well
toward $500. 0O0, 900, a sum in excess of
the value of shoe production of Eng
land, France, Germany, Italy and
Austria"
The oficial summary Of our foreign
m for January, says The
Journal of Commerce, shows an export
OF boots and shoes, valued at $10,394,-
129 for seven months of this fiscal
year. while imports were not sufficient
to appear at ali in its tables of statis-
tics. The countries to which exports
were SEM include the United Kingdom,
France and Germany while other Eu-
rope took I'VE $4,000 in value of
Mis- line Of merchandise"
Now If America is making more in
Value of this kind of goods than Eng
&nd, France, Germany, Italy and
Austria, supplying a market which
will absorb nearly all of them, and
sending a small American surplus to
these same countries, what chance is
there that they or any of them or any
other country, will so increase their
w output and exceed the demands
of their own markets as to dump"
shoes enough on American shores to
produce the slightest ripple on the
level of prices or of profits or wages,
in case the duty is removed? II it
could be done ove night, without Civ
ing any publicity to the fact, the Amer
lean shoe manufacturer would prob
ably not detect the slightest difference
or know what had happened until
somebody told him.

law recently passed for their protec-
ton.
Game Birds Harmless.
All game birds are useful or HARM
less, and in the opinion of many the
killing of them should be absolutely
prohibited. They have a hard enough
time to live, it is urged, without man
with his pump-gun adding to their
t%errors. Their Importance as food is a
negligible, so the mere brutal sport Of
killing them might well be forgotten.
Men with the call of nature strong
within them can find plenty of oppor-
t~unities to enjoy themselves in the
open without destroying the useful
and pretty birds.
Legislators r not always we'll in
formed on the benefits of birds to the
farmers, and authorize the payment OF
%bOunties for the heads of many useful
species. Owls n hawks, with the
exception Of n or two of the larger
species, will earn the right to live be-
cause of their destruction of rats, mice,
gophers and harmful insects. The
same may be said of many other birds.
In fact, there are few species that do
not deserve protection to the limit.
Boxes for Birds.
Now is the time to put up boxes for
such birds as love to nest near houses
and orchards. The bluebirds are here
and looking for nesting places. The
martins and wrens will be along later.
Put up the boxes, not where you would
like to have the birds, but where the
birds would most likely prefer to have
their nests. While the birds love to
be near the house they do not care
to be too close. Bluebirds prefer to
have their box on a pole rather than
in a green tree, but the wrens don't

projecting of barn or house.
Martins will nest in a. box anywhere.
Don't build duplexes or apartment
houses for the birds. Most birds pre-
fer comparative ~seclusion for their
nests. Martins are exceptions. Like
the swallows. they nest in colonies.
Beauty Not Essential.
Don't make the boxes too ornate or
too gaudy with paint. Bluebirds pref
erably build in a hole in a dead tree
or telephone pole, even a fence post.
So make their boxes as nearly like
their natural home as possible, not too
large and reasonably deep. 1t is well
to put a little sawdust in the bottom.
Wrens need larger boxes. The bird is
small, but given to filling even a large
box with twigs.
Other birds, such as the robin, gros-
beaks, and song sparrows, will find
their own nesting places.
Kill the Sparrows.
Above all, kill or chase away the
English sparrows before they drive
away the native songsters.
The United States department of ag-
riculture has done itself proud In a
! bulletin just issued, entitled Fifty
Common Birds Of Farm and Orchard.
This bulletin has thirty-one pages and
the fifty birds are pictured in natural
~colors, two to the page with their
habits and record for good or evil. 1t

BIRDS PROTECT
farmers CROPS
FEDERAL LAW MEANS RELENT-
LESS WAR ON INSECTS THAT
PREY ON AGRICULTURE-GOV-
EMINENT ISSUES BULLETIN IN
COLORS.

Farmers and the birds are on a bet
the federal law placing migratory
birds under federal protection. AT
best, the life of a bird is preCarious.
From the time the bird is a helpless
nesting until it's death, soon or late,
it is liable to death by violence. Per
haps not one bird in 1000, unless it be
a condor, eagle, or other bird of large
size, dies a natural death. The small
ones are preyed upon all their days and
few live to peaceful old age.
Man has been and still is, one of the
great foes of the birds. There has
never been a time when he did not
recognize just cause for war
against them. Either the birds de-
stroyed his property, or he needed
them for food. Primitive man doubt
less found the birds, next to snakes
and fish, his most dependable food
supply, so he shared them or shot
them with his darts or arrows The
young Of the prehistoric man, and the
Indian boys, could catch and shoot
enough to take other game. Besides
the nests of the birds could be robbed
Of eggs and young without weapons.
Sportsmen and Birds.
Sportsmen are the inveterate foes OF
birds today. Time was when every
pioneer was also a sportsman. He
needed to be in order to keep meat on
his table. Often his rifle was the only
thing that stood between his family
and starvation. There was a strong,
manly delight in the chase, and after
the rigors Of pioneer days had passed
men still hunted. 1t might be unfair
to say hat they merely followed their
inclination to kill; they relished the
open air and enjoyed nature and wil6
life.
But tho halcyon days of sport have
gone. With the clearing up of the
country, and the increase in popula-
ton, the wild creatures have ~retreated
or have decreased in numbers. II
there ever was time when the dee1
were a nuisance and had to be chased
out of the grain fields; when raccoons
and birds ate the greer corn; when
blackbirds pulled up row after row OF
sprouting corn and when woodpeckers
and other birds ate most of the cher
ries and early apples, those days have
gone. The time has come when birds
are Of far more benefit than harm tc
the farmers, by destroying weed seeC
and insects, and the national legisla-
tors have recognized that fact in the

I'M MIGRATION.

immigration into the United States
through the New Jersey gateway Is
flowing at a rate Of more than 20
per sent larger than last year. II the
number Of passengers Of all classes Is
maintained in corresponding proper
tons throughout the rest of the season,
it is possible that this years total will
exceed that Of 1912 by 30 per cent.
At the end OF last week Ellis Island

more immigrants than in the same
period last year. To a large extent
return OF Italian ships, released by
the Italian government from war serv-
ice. These are bringing back thou
sands upon thousands from the south
OF Europe, a class Of immigrants par
ticularly hard to assimilate, because
of their low order of intelligence, their
illiteracy, their tendency to %clannishly
pack together into the cities and their
criminal tendencies.
Though rural labor fields. both south
and north are clamoring for workmen
and offering high wage inducements, it
is difficult at any price to divert these
returning immigrants from their set
tied destinations. That is the deplor-
able feature Of the present day immi-
grafton. 1t concentrates in the indus
trial regions. there to breed poverty
and crime and to lower the wage of the
American workman.
The old-time immigrant, even up to
a quarter Of a century ago. sought the
country, became a farmer and prosper
ed. The modern immigrant, instead Of
being a producer Of food -~stuffs, is a
consumer. II he followed the old GUS
tom, evsn to the extent of taking en-
ployment in the country, he would be
better off, and there would be more
yield from the farms.
America already has the & prob
lem. This problem was foisted on the
nation through the effort to get cheap
labor. There is another problem loom
ing up which promises to be as grave
a menac n this too. is being brought
about through the effort to get cheap
labor. Regulation of immigration is
badly needed.
