Cost of Detective Service

One reason why Vermont's detective
work costs so much is because Vernon
isn't so content as formerly to let crimi-
nails escape; but even at that the state
is paying quite good!y sum of money
every year to single detective agency.
Without questioning i'll the least the
ability of this agency to secure fugitves,
one might consider that the work could
be done cheaper by state officials except
perhaps IN the major crimes. We employ
men to do that sort of work in every
town and county and they are considered
fairly competent men in that class of
work. We might give them more chance
to demonstrate it.-Barre Times.

MAKE HOMES FOR THE BIRDS
During Winter Boys Can Prepare to
Attract Little Feathered Friends
by Making Nests.

boy once originated the idea of
varying the usual birds nesting"
craze into a systematic study of the
breeding of our common birds. In one
spring he found within the limits of
single village 107 robins nests. "One
hundred were in suitable situations on
private places, Al were in woods,
swamps and orchards, eight were
placed under bridges 1.-TWO being under
the iron girders of the railroad
BRIDGE, four were in quarries. l6 were
in barns, sheds, under piazzas, etc,
and one was on the ground at the foot
of a bush
In addition to searching out the
birds in their natural haunts, there is
a great fascination in trying to at
tract them to our homes, says Boy
Scouts of America. During the win
ter evenings boy scouts can busy
themselves making nesting boxes.
Even an old cigar box or a tomato can
with a hole in it the size of a quar-
ter will satisfy a house wren. Other
boxes which are suitable for blue
birds, chickadees, tree swallows and
starlings will, if set up in March,
often have tenants the first season. In
many cases it is feasible to have
hinged doors or sides on the nesting
boxes, so that they may occasionally
be opened and the progress of events
observed. 1t is needless to add, how
ever, that great caution must be exer-
cised to prevent destruction of the
nest or other disturbance of the birds
home life Under favorable circum-
stances even some of the shyer inhab-
itants of the woods, such as woodpeck-
ers, owls and ducks, can be induced
to patronize artificial cavities if they
are made right and erected right.

CHRISTMAS CARDS.

Christmas cards are younger than
most people imagine, for their age
is only about seventy years. Accord
ing to some, Cuthbcrt' Bede designed
the first card when a student at Dur
ham university in England in 1915,
and designs of his circulated among
his friends for two years before the
printers conceived the idea of offer
ing similar cards for sale to the gen.
eral public. Others claim the inven-
ton for Horsley, the artist, who de-
signed one for Sir Henry Cole in
1916. And a specimen of this card
has brought as much as $3.50.

KEEPING BOYS ON THE FARM
Continual FauIt-Finding Makes Youths
Heart Sore and Discourages Him
Push Him Along.
(BY NOEL CARR

Fathers want to keep their boys on
the farm but too many of them do not
want to give them start They say,
Let them dig their way out as l did
before them"
Every boy cannot work hard all of
the time in heat or cold or in rain or
when the sun shines, but when he
asks for a holiday often he is sent
back to work with a sore and heavy
heart and many a boy on the farm
seldom gets a chance to go anywhere
for pleasure. That is discouraging.
Then, many farm boys are denied
little spending money, which every
boy Graves. He ought to have a little
change that he can spend just as he
pleases, | know farmers who always
leave their boys at home to care for
the house and the stock while their
parents go off to town or to places of
amusement. That always makes a
boy sore
This is only one side of the question
On the other hand some fathers in
dulge their boys too much and spoil
them. They say, Il have worked too
hard all my life and now am going to
give my boy chance to make
living easier than | did" Another
says, Il will give my boy nothing but
tools, and let him make his own liv-
ing" think this is the best plan.
Boys to be content on the farm must
have some stock and pets of their
own. This will do more to keep them
contented than anything else. | know
what I'm talking about for | live on a
farm. | have stock of my own and l
wouldn't change places with any
town boy know. ! am only thirteen
years, but / have a horse, a COW
and some hogs. l am proud of my |
start.
For sport, boy likes gun and he
likes to trap for rabbits and other |
game.
He also likes to have a room of his
own where he can keep all of his |
own things. A bookcase filled with |
books will gladden. his boyish heart,
and fathers should buy their boys
books when they know they want
them.
Some boys are born for one pur-
pose in life and some for another and
parents should find out what he can
DO best, and help him in that direc-
ton.
Continual fault-finding makes
boys heart sore and discourages him
A boy should not be punished for
every little fault, but he should be
alked to kindly and shown where he
S wrong. Most boys are good at
leart and do not intend to do wrong,
and if they are helped to see what is
light they will generally do it

FURNITURE FOR THE DOLLlE
Youngster May Surprise Mother by
Keeping Quiet for Half Hour in
Making Little Toys.

Any boy or girl who wants to sur
prise mother by being very quiet for
half an hour and by amusing himself
or herself-all that time, might
make pin furniture, because it is really
fun.
Get a few black-headed pins and a
spool of colored twist. Then you can
find some scraps of velvet or satin or
other cloth, also a tiny pasteboard box
or cork stopper.
