SUPT. C0WlES OF
 LAKEVIEW HOME
 ANSWERS CRITICS

To the Editor of the Farmer: Sir:
 do not believe in newspaper. con. troyersy as a rule but when scurriIous and insulting articles appear in the public press carefully and craftily worded to nislead the public and yet not be amenable to the law I think it is high time that the facts relative to the situation should be made pub lie, and my name has been dragged into the discussion and an attempt made to lead the public to believe that there has been colIusion between the president of the Board of Charities and myself in regard to the matter of supplies furnished Lakeview Home, I desire to call your and the public's at tention to certain facts which are a matter of record and can be verified by consulting the files of the Munici- pal Register for the past four or five years.
 The report of the Board of Chari- ties published in the 1909 Municipal Register shows that the expense for the meat and fish for Lakevfew Home was s6.626- -52-see page 26s. The was an average of PAS inmates. The price of plate beef was from five to six cents per pound.
 The report published of the follow ing year 1910 was, meat and fish S6 7 472-5e-see page 269- The average number of inmates 241.
 President Behrens was appointed to the board Jan. 1st, 1910, but did not. furnish any meat to Lakeview until the beginning of the fiscal year, April 1st, 1910. The report of the Board of Charities for that year published in 1911-page 273-shows that the cost of meat and fish for Lakeview Home was $5,232.08. With the average num- Der of inmates 257, this shows that without any competitive bids or any Board of Contract and Supply to SUI pervise the purchasing, MT. Behrens reduced the expense for meats and fish for Lakeview Home over $1 200 from the year 1909 and over $1, 400 from the year 1908 and fed a greater number of people.
 For the past two years with the Board of Contract and Supply, the figures are $5. .262.61-see page 27s Municipal Register 1912-with 235 in mates, and $5,22s.s2-see page 2S5 Register 1913-with 210 inmates Be- ing practically the same as Mir. Beh- rens' first year. the smaller mum Der of people being offset by the advance in the price of meat. I submit this table from the municipal register:

Birds Parental Devotion.

Parental devotion was illustrated a
few days ago in case at Steeple
Ashton, Wiltshire, England. in which
George Clifford, of Keevil, near Bath,
was charged with keeping young gold
finches in captivity. 1t was stated by
an inspector of the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
that he saw three young flnches in a
small cage at Cliffords house, and
while questioning Clifford observed
two adult flnches in the vicinity of
the house. First one and then the
other approached the cage, and passed
morsels of food through the bars to
the fiedglings. He learned that the
young birds were taken from nest
in :. tree not far from the cage, hence
the continued parental attention to
the dietary of their young.
