PLANS A COMPLETE COLLECTION OF
NORTH DAKOTA Birds; START WORK

The economic biological survey of
the birds and mammals of North Da-
kota. which has been carried on for
n number of years by DR.. Bell Of the
department of biology OF the agricul-
tural college. will he continued this
year. Last year this survey entered
into cooperation with the United
States bureau of biological survey and
was continued during the winter
months. Studies We're made Of the
winter residents of birds and studies
were also conducted upon the food
habits of such forms as the prairie
chicken and certain of the owls.
The spring migration of birds has
been followed out and the work Of get
ting a collection of specimens to COM
plete the series of North Dakota birds
has been carried on actively. The
employment of a taxidermist at the
college during the past year is en-
abling interesting mounted series Of
birds and mammals for scientific study
and for exhibition purposes and for
the use of the general public.
1t is hoped that in due time the
college will be provided with a COM
plete series of the birds of North Da-
kota mounted for display and accom-
panied by authentic records regarding
them. Much interest is being taken

Times-Herald Will Supply
All Demands MANY
Make Applications

The supply of flags secured by the
Times Herald to be distributed
among its readers Is gon but another
supply has been ordered and will be
here Saturday. Two consignments of
flags have been received but the or
ders, which have come in by the hun
dred. have exhausted the supply.
Again the superiority Of the Daily
Herald and Evening Times as adver-
Using mediums has been demonstrat-
ed.
When the Times-Herald company
decided to give the readers of the two
papers flags at a nominal price, a
large order was placed. probably the
largest yer given for high grade
flags by a North Dakota firm.
The first days sale demonstrated
that more would be needed so more

and again Monday night a third or
der was telegraphed for.
The second consignment was re-
ceived Wednesday morning and all
orders filled to that date.
Orders are being accepted and

EXPECTED TO
HELP EDITORS
Lane Tells Land Offices to
Give Final Proofs to Ad-
ministration Papers.

The appeal of democratic publish
ers in the final proof districts of the
United States has evidently been heard
in Washington. The several landotfice
officials of North Dakota have re-
ceived a personal letter from Secre-
tary of the Interior Lane. insisting
that the final proof notices. so far as
possible, be given to papers in SYM
pathy with the present national adj
ministration.
The disposition of the final proofs
rests solely with the registers of the
land office. as between two papers in
the same town. All the officials in this
state are republican. They know their
tenure of office is limited and they
are not Very enthusiastic over the
manner in which the secretary has
made this a rsonal matter. They
will probably continue to make the
distribution in a manner to please
themselves, rather than the head of
the interior department.
1t is opposed that similar letters
have gone TO all the registers of land
offices in other states. No one, how
ever. had considered it probable that
the head Of the department of the
interior would in so many words i'm
sist on a distribution of the public
patronage that was clearly an optional
matter with the registers and over
which the secretary has no control.

CHECKERS AN OLD GAME.

Long ere the Israelites were a
nation, befoie even the visit of
Abraham or the advent Of Joseph
and his brothers into Egypt, or the r
great lawgiver, Moses, wrote bis ac-
count of the Creation, the game of
drafts was practiced alike by the
rich and the poor; it helped many a
poor Egyptian slave, groaning under
a hard taskmaster, 10 forget bis heavy
burden for a while; and the king on
his throne did not disdain to engage
in the pastime with his courtiers
The toiling millions raising the pyr-
amids, the skilled artisans erecting
King SoIonon's palace, the heroes
of Troy's immortal fame, the con
quering hosts of Alexander and
Cesar-all enliYened their labors by
drafts. 1t tiourished during all thtse
long ages, and survived the existence

FRIDAY. March. %, = 1913.
HORRIBLE FLOOD.

The people of this great country
cannot help but feel appalled, at the
great tornado that devastated
Ohio and Indiana during the past
week as result Of which hundreds
are dead, thousands homeless and
millions Of dollars worth Of property
destroyed.
There seemed to be no human
power to stay the devastation and
the wind went on its way playing
havoc in Its course. The wind fol-
lowed by rain even made things
worse. While several towns we're
swept out of existence others are so
flooded with water that tfey can
scarcely be located. While some of
the cities seemed to be apparently
protected in such cases it developed
that they were not. There seemed
to be enough streams to tai e the water
and their height sufficient but the
entertainments were not strong enous h
to stay the pressure.
This great flood calls to mind the
Johnslown flood, the Austin flood,
and the Mississippi flood. Each
seems more appalling and heartrend-
ing than the other. There should be
some way of preventing the destrac-
ton Of homes, lives and property
from tornadoes and floods. The
lessons that have been taught by the
previous floods should have been
such as to teach the U. S. Govern
ment and the State Governments
in the vicinities where tornadoes are
liable to do harm at once and h ow
to withstand its force.
The sympathy of the country goes
out to the thousands Of homeless,
and it is gratifying to note the great
interest already manifest throughout
the nation to help them.
Let us hope that the Heavenly
Father will spare US from such de-
yastating tornadoes and floods for
many days to come.

POPULATION OF MARYLAND.

Some intere sting facts concerning
the population Of the state are con
tanned in the new census bulletin
Just issued. The statistics are pre-
sented in a series of fvs tables,
which deal it'll the composition and
characters tics of the population.
The navity table shows that of the
total population of the state 1862
639, or 80 per cent, are white and
2S2,250, or 17.9 per cent, colored.-
In II Of the % counties colored con-
stitute more than one-fourth of the
population. Native whites of native
parentage compose 500 per cent, of
the total population Of the state
Native whites of foreign or mixed
parentage constitute AS per cent.
and foreign born whites per cent
In total population of the state
there are 644,225 malls and GAL, 121
females. In 1900 the ratio was $50
to 100. Among the whites there
are 1872 males to 100 females, while
the colored percentage is 96.7 males,
to 100 females, and in the rural 1858.
Of the total native popnlation-that
is, population bern in the United
StatesJes6.2 per cent were born in
Maryland and 1873 outside the state.
Persons born outside the state con
stitute somewhat larger proportion
Of the native population in Urban
than rural communities. The urban
population shows a smaller proper
ton Of children thad the rural and a
larger proportion of persons in the
prime Of life.
There are 1887 illiterates in the
state representing ~ per cent Of the
