MINNESOTA BIRDS
ARE TO Be COUNTED

Minnesota bird-lovers will cooperate
ture in the first nationwide bird cen
sus ever taken, to begin about May 80.
Estimates as to the numbers of each
species will be made and the census
will be repeated. from year to year, ac-
cording to the plan in
Washington, to see whether the coun-
try's wild life is increasing or .decreas-
ing. Bird-loVers of this state will count
noses, or rather bills, for the birds OF
about seVenty-1Ve species which make
their summer homes in Minnesota. An
effort will be made to how
many pairs of birds of each species
breed within efinite areas.
In the past, under mixed game regu-
lations of various states" the depart
ment says, bird life has been decreas-
ing. Now that. the birds have been
placed in charge of the department def
mite and uniform measures are being
taken to preserve them and increase
their number"
The count is to begin about May 80
and the department hopes to have final
results in hand by Junet30.
Hundreds Of species Of migratory
birds pass through Minnesota every
year without nesting here, but accord
ing to DR.. C. E.. Johnson ornithologtst
at the university of Minnesota, practi-
cally all the birds to be found in the
state in June will be at least summer
residents.
Volunteer observers will be appealed
to by the department.. There are many
bird-lovers in the state who are expect
ed to cooperate.

A birthday party, under the auspices
of the Rector's guild Of St. Johns Epis-

a penny for each year of their ages,
many OF the latter being seriously
questioned by the cashiers, but they
had no recourse and had to accept what
was offered in reason. Refreshments
were served and enjoyed and so was
the program of music, etc, contributed
by Douglas seaver, 'violinist, accom-
panied by Elizabeth Richards, Ellen
Smith and Matilda Hitler. Altogether
the occasion proved to be a very JOY
