/ COUNTING The BIRDS.

The department of agriculture has
invited bird lovers throughout the
country to aid it in taking a census OF
the birds during the summer The pur-
pose is to get figures on which to base
future calculation so as to ascertain
whether the state and federal laws are
effective in their protection of game
and insectivorous birds, and whether
the birds are increasing or decreasing
In numbers from year to year.
About $50 regular correspondents of
the department have been asked to aid
in the census. They have been asked
to mark off a space of forty to eighty
acres, representing average farm con-
ditions, without woodland but includ-
ing the farm buildings, shade trees,
orchards, fields of plowed land and
pasture. They they are to count the
pairs of birds actually nesting within
the selected area Birds visiting Ior
feeding purposes should not be count
ed.
AS 1t is practically impossible to
take the census of such an area in one
day, it is suggested that the counters
begin at daylight some morning dur
ing the last of May, or the first week in
June, and count the male birds seen
on the place. By this time the birds
will be thoroughly settled and every
male bird will represent pair of nest
ing birds The count should be made
by species and it should be checked
up for several days, to make sure each
bird is nesting in the area. Then after
the males are counted, the census tax.
ers can find much puleasure In follow.
ing them to their nests and studying
conditions pertaining to their breed.
ing.
May 80 is about the right time to
begin in Iowa The department wants
the district taken described so it will
be possible to repeat the census TWEEN
ty-five years from now on the basis OF
the description.

Press Comment
LAT "NEGATlvE" CANDIDATE


Had C. G. Lee of Ames, late distric.
Judge, who recently made public his
desire for nomination as governor on
the republican ticket, confined MINI
self to the facts in his pubic an
nouncement Of his candidacy, these
lines would not have been written
Mr.. Lee said: -
"Mr. Rowley bases his claim Tor
support principally upon opposition 20
capitol grounds extension. His program
seems to be negative one.
If Mr.. Lee had paid enough attell'
ton to Mr.. Rowley's program during
the past twelve months to enable MIN
to know what Mr.. Rowley's conten.
ton covered, what his platform OF
principles is, then Mr. Lee must have
known he was uttering an untruth
when. he put in print his expression
as quoted above. If he did not know
the principles for which Mr.. RoWley
had been contending, then he was M
less culpable for saying what ne dld
Now let us see if, as MT. Lee says
Mr.. Rowley's candidacy mas peen
negative one"
MI. Rowley originated the move
ment calling the attention OF taN'
payers to the burden they have been
made to bear. He first drew atten
ton to the unconstitutionality OF the
capitol grounds extension law, and
one year ago the second OF next
month he filed his suit in Des MONIES
to enioin Governor Clarke and ms
executive council from making the
lew for the same. He went to the
expense and sacrifice of time In car
rying the cases through the courts
He has called the attention OF the
neople to the extra and needless or
fices that were created by the leglsla
tire: to the great increase in salaries
of some of the state offices, especially
the office of state superintendent o.
nublic instruction, where the aggre
gate increase is fully eleven thousand
dollars; to the fact that the salaries
of new offices created and increase
in salaries of old officers, state ant
county, is over 100000 more no"
than ever before. He called atten
ton, away back in last September, te
the wrongfulness of the act of the
executive council in arbitrarily
raising the assessment of property
over the state, which contention tn.
T, supreme court has sustained. Ht
has called attention to the wild actor

FIGHTING ALCOHOL

Because two fingers of red liquor can
turn a 100000 safety block system
into q $1O0OO,O00 waste of money
''Rule G." was framed by all the rail
roads in the country Here's Rule u:
1.-THE use of intoxicants by employees
while on duty is prohibited. Their use
or the frequenting of places where
they are sold, is sufficient cause for
immediate dismissal
The Iron Trade Review, a trade
paper for the metal interests, recently
in reporting a speech of VIM. H. Barr
OF Buffalo, president Of the National
Foundrymen's association, said: He
spoke of the safety first movement
with special reference to accidents re-
sulting from intoxication. He offered
a resolution reciting that the drinking
of intoxicants by employees increases
the number of accidents, is detriment.
al to the welfare Of the employe and
detracts from his rendering efficient
services. He offered preamble to be
presented to the Ohio legislature to
remove saloons from the vicinity OF
factories and this was unanimously
adopted"
At the same meeting C. B. Wilson
vice president of the Ferro Machine &
Foundry Co., related his experience in
fighting beer. "Said there was no use
trying to talk to men about unionism
or anything else while they had liquor
in their systems"
Here's one word more from another
manufacturing organ. published a few
days ago: ION account of nan
being intoxicated, a fellow employe
was injured for life. The suit
resulted in verdict of $4,000 against
tie owners of the plant and they had
to pay because the supreme court up
held the decisions" Here are the
words of the supreme court: "a
drunken employee is human parable
to the fragment of physical equipment
4 which may be classed as defective
material and causes injury 70 work
men. If one workman is injured
through drunken workman the EN-
ployer's responsibility does not lesser
because of intoxication. The employe,
whose defective equipment is the
cause of the injury is responsible. The
employer whose workman causes IN
jury to fellow workman, is also re
sponsible."
