The Wild or Canadian Goose is an
other American contribution to the poul-
try yard. This is the common Wild Goose
of North America, which twice each year
migrates across the northern states. In
the fall 1t seeks the open water and rich
feeding grounds of the south, and each
spring makes the long flight to it's breed
ling territory in northern Canada
To many 1t is a common sight during
these long flights, and who having seen,
has not admired the precise Information
of the speeding flock or listened with
pleasure to the resonant 'honk, honx'
which heralds its approach.
From early colonial days these magnii-
cent birds have been eagerly pursued by
hunters, both for their flesh and the
splendid sport they afford. For many
years the disabled wild birds have been
kept for use as decoys, and II was early
discovered that they would breed in cap
tivity and successfully rear their young.

tions of captivity and transmitting much
of the same desirable characteristic to
its mongrel young.
These geese naturally mate in pairs,
and there seems to be plenty of evidence
to support the belief that the mates will,
IL permitted, remain constant until death
separates them. When attempting to
breed the wild stock inits purity the
best results will be secured IL they are
given surroundings as nearly as possible
like their natural environment.
As an ornamental fowl the Wild Goose
Is exceedingly graceful and strikingly
handsome. When given their freedom on
pond or lake, 1t is necessary to pinion
them by removing the first joint of one
wing.

How Oats Are Sprouted
III oats are to be used regularly 1t

These trays may be of any size. The
convenient plan is to build each with a
surface area of as many square inches
as there are birds in the flock, as a

under usual conditions. The trays should
be constructed of sound lumber and be
about three inches deep. The rack is
simply four stout strips of legs, set at
proper distances apart to permit the
trays to slid between them. On either

SAYS POLITICS
HAS CREPT IN
And President Will Leave ReOr-
ganiZatiOn of Canal Zone
Government to Wilson.

President Expresses Amazement over
the Attack on His Plan by Southern
Democrats, Who, He Says, Fear
Goethals' Distribution of Patronage
Would Not Be In Accordance of
Wishes of Democrats.
Washington, Jan. 2. - Determined
that under no circumstances, so long
as he is president, the Panama canal
shall be made the football of politics,
President Taft is likely to abandon
his intention of reorganizing the gov
ernment of the canal zone and naming
Colonel George w. Goethals as chief
officer of the canal. Developments
here indicated President Taft will not
nominate Colonel Goethals to be civil
governor Of the canal zone, nor will
he make any move towards changing
the present establishment on the zone.
The president returned from Panama
with Colonel Goethals in his personal
party, fully intending to name the
colonel to be governor of the zone
When he learned of the acrimonious
attacks made on his plan by southern
Democrats, the president was amazed
When he heard the alleged basis of
these attacks was the fear that Col
onel Goethals would not distribute the
canal patronage in accordance with
the wishes Of the Democrats, he was
exasperated. The news of the opposi-
ton forming against him on purely
political grounds likewise amazed
Colonel Goethals.
1t is understood the presidents
probable abandonment of the plan to
name Colonel Goethals to be governor
is in accord with the wishes of that
officer. Colonel Goethals has often
stated to friends that he never would
permit the canal work to be in the
least influenced by politics. The pres
ident will probably leave the present
organization intact, thus preventing
any fight on Colonel Goethals. He
can not be disturbed in his present
position, and the impression among
Washington officials is that Mr.. Will
son himself will continue Colonel Goe-
thals in full charge of the canal zone
when he takes up the reorganization
of the canal zone government.

LABOR OFFICIALS
SENTENCED TO PEN

indianapolis, Dec. 31.-Thirty-three
union labor officials, convicted of hav-
ing engaged in the destruction of
property by dynamite over an area
stretching from Boston to Los An
geles, were sentenced to Leavenworth
(Kan) prison, motions for new trial
and a stay having been overruled.

strike was given as the motive for pro-
noting the dynamite plots, Frank NJ.
Ryan was sentenced to seven years
Imprisonment, the heaviest sentence
Of all He is the presidet of the iron

OF the 80 men convicted as conspir-
ators and aiders in the Mcnamara dy-
ramiting schemes, eight other men,

Two men each were given four
years, II men each were given three

AUTOMOBILE
TURNS TURTLE
On the Reservoir Bank Road and
Lands Occupants on Dry Side
ThIrty Feet Below.

John Cron, aged 81 years, a well
known resident of Marion township and
a civil war veteran, suffered internal in
juries; Barney Grote had an ugly cash
cut in the left side of his head, which al
most severed the ear, and Frank Feltz
and Frank Beckmau, all of Cassella, were
badly bruised up last Tuesday afternoon
when Feltz's big touring car slid off the
new cement driveway along Lake Mer-
Ger, near the Cast clubhouse, mile
south of town, and turned a double SOM
mersault down the thirty-foot embank-
ment to the west. The machiue was
badly damaged but was patched up and
towed to town Wednesday by the Harris
garage.
It is considered a miracle that all of
the party were not killed Just what
caused the accident has not been fully
determined, but the tracks left by the
machine would indicate that as Mr..
Feltz, who was driving the car, turned
out to pass a rig, the steering wheel
failed to work or Frank lost his head.
The car took a straight line along the
west side of the grade for fifteen or TWEEN
ty feet, hit the soft earth recently made
in completing the grade and then tum-
bled down the embankment, barely
missing a large tree in its descent.
Ever since the beginning of the Reser-
voir bank road improvement many peo-
pie have contended that it would hardly
be a safe place todrive over because of
its narrowness, but no one looked for an
accident so soon after the opening of
the road

MerIted HOnOrs Come to
Supt. POgue

Prof. J.W. Pogue, superintendent ofthe
Public Schools ofthis city, was one of the
winners of life certificates at the semi
annual session of the State Board of
Teachers Examiners, at Columbus last
week. A class of 1853 teachers, an unus-
ually small number, took the examinat-
ion. Ninety out of the list won the much
coveted goal, 27 candidates being award
ed High School life certificates and 60
elementary life certificates.
Prof. Pogue's name appears among the
list of successful applicants for both the
High School life certificates and the Ele-
mentary state life certificates.
Prof. Pogue was the only successful
applicant in this section of the state for
the Elementary state life certificate and
he and Prof. Chas. Carman, of New Bre-
men were the only successful applicants
in this section for the High School life
certificates
This is a high recommendation for the
qualifications of the new head of Celina's
public schools.

BODY IS FOUND
FROZEN IN ICE
Mystery Surrounds the Death Of
Frank HOwicIS, Center Town
ship Lad, at Cleveland.

A Cleveland special 10 the Cincinnati
Enquirer under date of Dec. 2S, brought
the sad tidings TO friends and relatives
here of the sudden death OF Frank Ho-
wick, son of the late John Howick of
Center township. The special read:
The body of a man. thought to have
been Frank Howick, IS, was found frozen
in the rocks one hundred feet off the lake
shore near Gordon park late today. The
body has been in the water for several
weeks. Circumstances of his disappear
ance are not known, but foul play is not
suspected. A letter to Miss Gabrilla
Hainline, Howick's foster sister, was
found in his pocket"
How the young man met his death will
never be known, but owing to the fact
that the land lady where he boarded
stated that he had seemed despondent
for several months, it is thought that
probably he committed suicide.
He was an estimable young man and a
graduate of Neptune high school. At the
time of his death he was bookkeeper for
a large Cleveland firm.
Deceased was bereft of his mother when
a babe of four weeks and was raised by
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Hainline, of Center
township. Besides his foster parents, he
is survived brother, Harry, and a sister,
Mrs. Clete Sante, of Center township,
and number of other relatives.
The remains we're brought to st. .Marys
last Monday and taken to the Hainline
home in Center township, where funeral
services were held. Interment took
place at Neptune cemetery.
