The Bell Bird,

The most remarkable thing in con-
nection with the bell bird is its power
full voice. 1t utterS Il clear metallic
note that can be heard at Il distance of
three miles. Its noise is like that pro-
duced by a blacksmith striking his an
vii. Sometimes it repeats its notes in
quick succession. sometimes at fairly
long intervals. There is no mistake
about the voice of this bird; it is loud
and piercing and would be heard
above the din produced by every in
mate of the 700 raising its voice at
once. Except for space Of naked
skin on the throat and around the
eyes. which during the breeding sea-
son is Of green color, this bird is pure
white The contrast between the SEX
es in the bell birds Is extreme. for,
while the male is pure white. the fe-
male is brownish green. Darwin re-
fers to the bell bird when he points
out that white is very rare color in
terrestrial species of moderate size
and inOlfensive habits. Pail Mall Ga

Vermonters Patronize Banks

That Vermonters have confidence in
their banking institutions is shown by
the fact that this state is one of the
smallest patrons of the postal savings
systems in the union. By the last state
ment of the third assistant postmaster
general there were only three states with
smaller aggregate deposits. These were
South and North Carolina and North
Dakota. The 2 per cent interest. which
the postal savings system pays, attracts
mainly foreigners who are looking first
for security and do not understand bank
ing methods in the United States. They
know that Uncle Sam is good for all they
can give him. Probably one reason that
Vermont is so small a contributor is that
the percentage of foreign population is
small. Her sister state New Hampshire
has deposits of five times that of Yer
mont, and other New England states are
still further away. New York is the big
gest patron, with many millions. Then
come OHIO, Illinois and California, in the

sALooNLEss SEASIDE RESORT.


Probably the finest example Of a
popular amusement and recreation re-
sort, as absolutely successful as it is
dry, is Long Beach, Cal, writes a
w. G. I. U. woman of southern Cali
tornia. Since the voting out of the
saloon ID years ago, she tells us, the
growth and development of Long
Beach has been both rapid and sub
stantial, the census returns for the
decade, 1900-1910, showing an increase
IN population of 691 per cent. In 1900
the saloons were voted out by a
strong majority, and this position was
strengthened last January by an iron
clad no-license charter amendment
which prohibits hotel licenses and any
importation of liquor into the dry
territory
In 1900 the bank deposits were
$14O,O00; children in schools, 1929;
homes, 62S; churches, four and lum-
Der yards, one. Today, the bank de-
posits are $8,500,000; bank capital
stock, 100000; surplus, $412,757;
school children, $3.50; homes, 1920,
and the single lumber yard has grown
to 10. Real estate values have adj
vanced, in the business area, from
$3.50 a lot to 100000 in the 10 years,

viously used Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Rem
edy and she and her family knew of its
value. The doctors finally decided to allow
her to use it and they found that the results
were more satisfactory than from any other
treatment they had tried. AS they were
broad minded and honest men, they advised
her to continue its use, in connection with

into the British headquarters and were
astonished to find several of them sip

tested: ooh, we always drink ale, but
not much Of it." In the ensuing con-
tests Great Britain was badly beaten.

There were a dozen or twenty fisher
men at the dam. We were told they
came every day in equally large num-

run into the hundreds. No less than
a score Of automobile parties were
there last Sunday.
And yet the quest Of these fishermen.

size all the time. We saw a hun
dred Of the fish that had been taken ir
one day by a single party of anglers,
not one of the catch being less than
a foot long and the most of them from
IS TO IS inches in length.
There are said to be more fish there
this year than ever before. The same
thing was reported last year as to the
year before that and so on back to the
time of the completion of the dam,
which seems to provide not only bar
rier against the advance of tho fish
upstream but a habitat for their rapid
growth f not their propagation.
Fishermen say also that there are
noticeably more fish in the upper wa
ters than were found there before the
construction of the dam, while for miles
below the dam in the Big Wood more
and more trout are found every year
getting bigger and more plentiful al
the time.
But there must be a limit to the sup
ply with the largely increasing num-
bers of anglers. and the question is fire.
