\ Plea For the OwI.-The screech
owl is not so bad as he sounds and
he has some qualities which overcome
his mournful notes and nocturnal sere-
nading habits according to DIR. Fl. A.
Surface, the State Zoologist. The
z%oologist goes as far as recommending
that care be taken of the owl. One
of the points in his favor, contends
the ornithologist, is that he ats Eng
fish sparrows n does not devour
other birds to any extent. In fact, he
hat people ought to build boxes
to house the owl, which will clear out
mice If left alone. One of the ami
mails which DIR. Surface says the owl
clears out is the small short tailed
meadow mouse, miscalled the mole.
The owl should be cared for instead
of being shot at'says the z%oologist.
