termination. TO you is now given the

under the protection OF the federal
government. Such a law lis greatly
needed. IL 1t is not passed our birds
viii continue to decrease-to the great
n everlasting disadvantage and
shame of the American people. sDhe
destruction Of bird life is costing AM
eriean farmers millions of dollars an
nually through the constantly increas@
ing devastations of harmful insects
upon which the birds feed. But q
greater loss their slaughter is bring
ing TO all who love Gods great out

The measure now before congress

B~roomhaiI's Report.

Liverpool, Jan. 2I.-Wheat opened
under pressure OF realizing due to the
lower American cables yesterday and
decline In Buenos Ayres and prices
were 3-8 lower. The weakness in Paris
at the opening caused some selling.
Following the opening there was free
covering by shorts and prices advanc-
ed 3-S or recovered the opening dee
cline with the undertone firm. Sup
port was stimulated by the better de-
mand for Manitoba offers which were
more firmly held and the continued
drouth In India. The strength in orn
and the flrnner cargoes offers assisted
In the advance.
Corn opened steady and unchanged
to LIS higher. The lower American
cables were offset here by the closing
strength In Buenos Ayres. Later the
market further advanced 1-2 with the
undertone strong. Shorts covered on
the continuation of drouth in Argen-
tine, firmer plate and American offers
and a better demand for Parcels.
Paris, Jan. 21.-Wheat and flour
both opened weak on the increased Of
fers of native wheat and larger arriv-
ais OF foreign wheat at the ports.
The visible supply in Europe this
week amounts to 75,800, 900 bushels
against 76,6S0,0 0 bushels; thus show
ing a decrease of $4,000 bushels. Last

MISUNDERSTANDING to an official
report the acreage sown to corn
amounts to 1886, 900 acres against T.
945,000 acres in 1911. The continued

 Most convenient work aprons are made by turning up the bottom on the right side to form a generous pocket. stitching once up the center to hold in place When setting the house in order in the morning, these aprons save many steps.
 To make the kitchen table nice and white, use hot water and a little soda and wash it all over. Then sprinkle lightly over with some silver sand and scrub well. Thoroughly rinse, then take cold water and wash it all over again.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
BIZ BLANCHE BEACON
Do Earrings Beautify?

Are you going to wear earrings?" suppose should ask, Do you wear earrings?"
 So many girls and women are wear ing earrings now that the women who are not wearing them probably have a prejudice against them.
 Personally I don't care for them, but neither do I care for rings, which means that only when I wish to orna- ment my person for some grand oc- casion do I wear rings either in my ears or on my fingers.
 However, earrings are so popular just at present that one must take them into account when one talks up- on feminine beauty.
 Everything a woman thinks, says does and wears has more or less to do with her beauty or ugliness So when one speaks of beauty culture one does not just mean the furbish- ing up of the complexion and the fix ing up of the face: one means the whole idea which a woman presents Consequently clothes and jewels have much to do with feminine loveliness.
 There are young women like the one pictured to whom earrings give a pfquancy that is almost irresistible, but the wearer must be young.
 Earrings add at least five years to any face over twenty.
 The first thing Ethel Barrymore did when she wished to make her twenty fve-year-old face look forty-hver in "A1ice, Sit by the Fire was to wear long pair of gold earrings. A Contrary to the usual idea, long earrings are more becoming to round face than the little ear studs or s'earbobs."
 The short earrings is becoming to the 1ong-necked woman. Never wear long gold earrings if you have rath- CT colorless complexion and light hair. The girl of this type can wear coral earrings or blue tbobs."
 If your hair is dark and your com <plexion olive you can wear the gypsy earrings of gold.
 Never wear diamonds in your ears;

WASTE
By Berton Braley.

Forest and field and orchard, mount
 aims of coal and ore, Mighty has been their bounty, limit
 less seemed their store; So we have baithely equandered, 50 we
 have sacked and spoiled. Boosting about our "prOgress," .brag-
 ging of how we toi1ed, Drunken with natures bounty, we laid
 our plenteous gain To the magic of the Yankee hustle, to
 the vigor of Yankee brain. And we footed the goodly forests and
 planted the wasteful crop, And we 11ooted the careful prophet
 who said that the loot must stop! But we're learning our little lesson,
 and we relish it not at all, And we're paying for past excesses in
 bills that are far from small. We gutted and gouged our forests
 and the floods came roaring down To ruin the farmers acres and ravage
 and wreck the town. Over and over and over we planted
 the same old fieFd. With the same old crop repeated, then
 sighed at the dwind1ing yield. And we've wasted our coal and iron
 nor cared for the wealth we've lost, Till the price moved up and onward,
 and we growled at the added cost. We are learning our little lesson, but
 we have not learned it true, For we waste in some directions the
 same as we used to do. Our natural gas we equander to poison the healthy adr, We're wasting our oil-how bIindly, and
 nobody seems to care In factory, form and forest we're
 throwing our wealth away, And the bill for our careless living our
 I,r Tariff and trusts and wages are prob
 Iems<tfat must be faced, But the greatest of all our problems IS the problem of careless waste.
