Long Years Prominent in Arkansas.

Long Years Prominent in Arkansas.
 Probably no man who has had an active part in shaping the affairs of Arkansas, nor any man born in Ar kansas, has stood before the peo- pie of the state as prominently and persistently as Jeff Davis, whose baptismal name was Jeffrey, his father at his birth insisting on his bearing the name of Lord Jeffrey, famous Scottish lawyer and editor, this decision said to have been in opposition to wishes of the mother. The birth was at Rocky Comfort, Little River county, about 63 years ago.
 Soon after the war the Davis family moved to Russellville, where the father took up the practice of law, in which he was followed by his son. Here Jef first got into pol itics, being elected as prosecuting attorney for the district in which Russellville was located. From that he stepped into the position of at torney general of Arkansas, after which he was three times elected governor of his state,. an honor be- slowed on no other man.
 Defeated Senator Berry.
 Six years ago Davis defeated Senator James H. Berry in the pri- mary nomination for the United States Senatorship. This term would have expired March 4, next and in the meantime Mr. Davis had won the race for renomination over stephen Brundidge, Jr., and would have been formally elected by the legislature this month. This last contest was the hardest fight MT. Davis has ever had, and yet he won by good majority over his strong anu dSSACo OppOllIllJ.
 Aside from the fact that MT. Da- wis campaigns were remarkable for the violence of the abuse he heaped upon his enemies, and, as well, for the charges of all kinds brought by these enemies against him, he real ly was a most remarkable man in his methods and success of reach ing and holding the people. As an example of this, the following is taken form an article published in The Star and The Democrat on the occasion of his last visit to Mena, prior to the March primary of 1912. The writer, Eugene Ray, had never before seen Davis, and wrote as he saw and heard;
 At Home With His Audiences.
 Senator Jeff Davis spoke at the court house in Mena today. He was advertised to speak at fl o'clock, but came in before fl, showing the country people he had regard for sun time rather than railroad time. And all along, the senator's remarks, manner and bearing indicated regard for the people. Come right up here and stand in this aisle,' he said to the na0pla cfondiDp il1cf iuci1o fha door-'come up this way and let those people outside get in And the senator's tone indicated that he wanted those outside to get in, not because he was eager to talk to them, but because they wanted in. Throughout his address the sen- ator made room for them. If he had spoken until night and the peo-

Judge Lindsay says things are picking up in his line, he having given treatment to four cases of too much booze Tuesday, the doctor fees" amounting to S60.
 The most original comment heard is that some of the drinkers are showing about the same restraint as would a dry-fed COW when sud denly turned into field of green corn.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. IT, Schools, big mercantile houses and even the general offices of railroad companies are closed today, because of a water famine, due to the in- tens cold and swollen streams. The lack of water prevents the heating of buildings, and is felt so badly that railroad switch engines are going is miles to get water for their boilers.

N. d. The prohibition of the killing
of birds along these waters, either
from the shore or from boats, will no
doubt be keenly felt by many hunters.
Yet it was considered necessary that
the birds should have a safe pathway
co and from the Gulf of Mexico.
Aside from the aesthetic value OF
birds, their destruction by the who'll
sale methods which have been in
operation has meant a great financial
loss to the nation. All parts of the
country have suffered from insect
pests which did not exist until the
slaughter of the birds had lessened
their protection. John Davey, the
pioneer tree surgeon, claims that mil
lions of dollars are lost annually from
the destruction of trees by insects be-
cause of the scarcity of songbirds.
Where there are plenty of songbirds
no trees are seriously disturbed by in
sects.
Scientists claim that the unrestrict-
ed natural increase of the gypsy moth
would defoliate the entire United
States in less than eight years. Birds
can do more than any human device
to overcome this pest. A scarlet tan
ager has been seen to eat thirty-five
gypsy moths a minute for eighteen
minutes. Other birds are equally
rapacious. The spread of the gypsy
moth in New England is directly due
to the decrease of our song birds. A
record of a great outbreak of the
gypsy moth in Europe states that, af
ter every human effort had failed to
vanquish the pest, the titmice and
wrens who appeared in large numbers
conquered it within few days. These
birds also overcame a plague of the
moth which threatened to defoliate
the trees in the parks of Brussels a
few years ago. The destruction cf
blackbirds, prairie chickens and other
birds in the middle west is held re-
sponsible for the ravages of the Rocky
Mountain locust.

ening the total extinction of the birds.
1t is understood that where the states
have suitable laws for the protection
of the migratory birds nothing in
the new regulations shall be permitted
to conflict with them. The regulations
were published in June. Public hear
ings upon them have been held in
New York, New Orleans, Omaha, Bos-
ton and several other sections of the
country. The approval with which
these regulations have been received
as whole has been most gratifying
TO the committee. 1t demonstrates
thoroughly that public sentiment has
become aroused to the need of pro-
lection of native birds. The opposi-
ton encountered it is believed will
be entirely overcome after the new
law is properly in operation.
The provision that the new law
should not interfere with the bird
law already existing in the states
required much work from the COM
mittee formulating the regulations.
Over 700 laws regarding bird shoot
ing are in existence in the forty-eight
states. In order to harmonic them
a number Of exceptions have been in
cluded with the regulations, which it
is believed will make the new law a
harmonious scheme for conserving the
bird life uniformly throughout the
country.
The country is divided into two
zones. Zone one is to be known as
the breeding zone. 1t includes twenty
five states lying chiefly north Of the
Ohio river and latitude 40 degrees.
The closed season for this zone shall
be from December 18th to September
lst for water fowls and rails, with
exceptions in nine states, where the
dates vary lightly. For woodcock,
the closed season extends to October
1st, with exceptions in ten states.
The closed season for shore birds ex-
cepting for those coming under the
regulation of the five years closed
season, extends from December 10th
to September lst, with slight modi-
fication of these dates in ten states.
Zone two is TO be known as the win
tering zone. II includes all the states
south of the breeding zone. In this,
the closed season for water fowl ex.
tends from January 10Th TO October
1st. excepting in Maryland, Virginia
and the Carolinas, where 1t is froro

Haskin Letters
Protecting Migratory Birds
BY Frederic J. Haskin

Hunters in all parts of the country
are much interested in the new reg
ulations governing the shooting of
migratory birds. These will be ap-
proved by the President and go into
effect about October 1st, at the be-
ginning of the annual hunting season.
The law authorizing these regulations
xas passed by the last Congress. 1t
was included in the appropriation bill
for the Department of Agriculture,
one of the last measures signed by
President Taft upon the morning Of
March 4th. In some states this new
law will not materially affect the
hunting privileges because it will not
make any greater restrictions than
are imposed by the state laws already
IN existence In others, the change
will be more keenly felt. The five
years closed season for certain game
birds, the prohibition of shooting be-
tween sunset and sunrise, and the
long closed season for birds along
certain navigable rivers. are the most
important features of the new regula-
sions.
The new law authorized the Depart
ment of Agriculture to formulate reg
1lations covering the points needed
for the federal protection of migra
tory birds. These regulations were to
fix and prescribe the closed seasons
with due regard TO temperature,
breeding habits and the times and
lines of migration of the different
classes of birds. A committee of ex-
perts upon the subjects involved was
appointed to prepare these regulations
with the provision that they should be
printed and made public for three
months before their adoption. Dur
ing this period they were to be exam
med and public hearings given upon
them when desired.
The knowledge possessed by the
committee upon the habits of birds
enabled them to fix suitable districts.

which it shall be unlawful to shoot,
kill or capture migratory birds, and

A CORRECTION

The Register last week had an item
about an accident that befell l.. w.
Hintz, whose auto was struck by a
train in Iowa, and we stated that
although his address was given as
Brookings we did not know of any man
by that name here. Well, the joke is
us. Mr.. Hintz has been working
for the NJ. ID. Orhrans meat market for
several months and although we
knew him well by sight we did not
remember his name. He is a sub
scriber Of the Register, too, but then
We have so many readers that it is
hard for us to keep track of all of
them. When the accident happened
Mr.. Hintz and his family were on
their way to Charles City, Iowa, where
he expected to engage in business for
himself. We are glad to report that
the family were u~ninjured and Mr..
Hintz received only slight bruises.
We print a letter from Mrs. Hintz in
another column correcting some mis-
takes in the item we published last
week from the Iowa paper.

PHEASANTs FOR COUNTY

Prof. r. F. Kerr received thirty
pheasants Tuesday from State Game
Warden Hedrick and they will be
placed at some point in the country,
probably along the river as these birds
thrive best in timber. These are the
new game birds that the game warden
is introducing into the state and it is
hoped that they will increase and fur
nish good hunting after a few years.
In the meantime they are under the
protection Of the law and it will not
be well for anyone to shoot them. They
are about the size Of the prairie
chicken and the female looks very
much like that game bird, but the
male is decked out in colors. They
will be on exhibition at the county
fair next week.

WE r IN DOUBT

Last week we mentioned that H. G..
Williams, the land man, had seen a
field Of fifty or sixty acres Of alfalfa
in the northeastern part OF the county
and the paper was hardly out before
Geo. Thayer appeared upon the hori-
zon, having in tow ID. S. Wyokoff. Mr..
Wyckoff was the principal witness for
our friend George, his testimony being
to the effect that he was along with
Mr.. Williams on the trip to the north
eastern part of the county and the
aforesaid field was buckwheat instead
Of alfalfa. We have reserved our de-
cision, as we don't know whether Mr..
Williams knows alfalfa from buck
wheat or whether our friend George is
just putting up a strong bluff on us.
