ALMA BIRD CENCUS
Bird Club in Active Opera
tion-Asks Cooperation
of Citizens and Scouts

A meeting of the Alma Bird Club
was held in the High School building
Friday evening and plans of their
work discussed. At present the Bird
Club is completing a bird census of
the city of Alma. They are compiling
data showing how many of our native
birds nestled in the city during the
summer of 1914, and to find out how
many new bird houses have been built
and how many old ones were occupied,
etc. They are also campaigning for
the promotion OF greater interest in
birds, and have secured the promises
of many to feed the birds which do not
migrate during the winter. Co-opera-
ton with the boy scouts is desired,
and probably feeding stations will be
maintained during the winter under
the supervision of the Bird Club and
the Boy Scouts. This bird census is a
new thing for Alma, and the figures
will be published later showing how
many birds habited the houses,
shrubs, fence corners, etc., during the
winter. Arrangements are being
made to publish series of articles
taking one bird at time, and show
ing their economic value to the farmer
as proven by the authorities in this
study.

ferns and green leaves. On one wall
was catalpa branch with many
spreading leaves. Many fall flowers
were i'm evidence here and there, and
in fact the decorations were all in
pure harmony, nothing gaudy, but
everything impressive. To start the
program everyone was given a card
with a number and place for names,
the contest being to see who could get
the most names, and in that way the
formality was broken and everyone
entered into the spirit of the game
and became acquainted with each
other. The prizes for getting the
most names were awarded to Jack
Wax, Freshman, spike of gladioli;
Miss Norma Wight, upper class, two
gladioli spikes; Miss Conyne, faculty
member, a bouquet of gladioli. After
the prizes were awarded the College
Glee Club rendered songs, Mr.. Davis
gave two violin selections, Miss Jessie
Duncinson gave a reading about a
diamond necklace and her sick aunt,
which brought the company to their
feet in enthusiastic approval. She an
swered 20 the encore with another
short reading. Mr.. Dickerson de-
lighted the company by piano solo,
and then Joe Kennedy gave reading
concerning a family, consisting of the
father, mother, and little boy, making
their first appearance in a London
theatre, and as always, Mr.. Kennedy
was the height Of pefection with his
part and also had to answer to an
encore. The next part of the program
was, "Grand Opera Up To Snuff" by
the Glee Club, Bope Butler playing the
part Of the sorrowful wife, and Clar-
ence Goodrich proved to be fine SYM
pathizing husband, while Oscar An
derson played the part of the warning
janitor. The rest of the club were
also trying to escape from the burn
ing house. This farce was the hit of
the evening. Goodrich, with his nose
glasses perched on the tip of his nose,
and all his actions and even his very
thoughts in accordance with the de-
sires of his better half, and Mrs. Lady
conspicuously displaying a pair of
vari-colored hose, created great mer-
riment for the act. When all had
located their partners, grand
march was executed from one end of
the hall to the other, winding among
the dining tables, around the pianos,
and dividing in all the intricate ways
which the leaders could devise and
finally marching under a bridge of
hands, the march was concluded. A
contest of birds and beasts was en-
gagged in, placards containing objects
representing birds and beasts were
tackled on the walls, and a limited time
was given to naming them. The prize
Of a box of bon-bons was awarded to
Miss Mary Blaisdell. Lunch of mara
schino cherry ice and numerous
waters were served, and after a gen.
eral good time for a few minutes
longer, the dean struck the gong, and
another enlightening and pleasant
evening was over.

EXCHANGE MEMBERS HAPPY
Annual Charge of $50 for Tele-
phone Clerks Discontinued.

Either the Stock Exchange feels 1t mas
a big enough surplus or believes the poor
business OF the year 1913 warrants such
action. for Secretary Ely announced yes
terday that the usual annual charge or
$50 TO the members for floor telephone
clerks was to be discontinued. The
brokers say that they will use the money
thus saved in enjoying luxuries almost
forgotten during the recent months in
Wall Street.
