MAKE HOMES FOR THE BIRDS
During Winter Boys Can Prepare to
Attract Little F%eathered Friends
by Making Nests.

A boy onc originated the idea OF
varying the usual birds nesting
craze into a systematic study of the
breeding of our common birds. In enc
spring he found within the limits of a
single village 107 robins nests. One
hundred were in suitable situations on
private places, Al were in woods,
swamps and orchards, eight were
placed under bridges 1.-TWO being under
the iron Orders Of the railroad
BRIDGE, four were in quarries, 16 were
in barns, sheds, under piazzas, etc,
and one was on the ground at the foot
Of q bush.
In addition to searching out the
birds in their natural haunts, there is
a great fascination in trying to at.
tract them to our homes, says Boy
Scouts of America. During the win
ter evenings boy scouts can busy
themselves making nesting boxes.
Even an old cigar box or a tomato can

ter will satisfy a house wren. Other
boxes which are suitable for blue
birds, chickadees, tree swallows and
starlings will, If set up in March.
often have tenants the first season. In
many cases it is feasible to have
hinged doors or sides on the nesting
boxes, so that they may occasionally
be opened and the progress OF events
observed. 1t is needless to add, how.
ever, that great caution must be exer.
cised to prevent destruction of the
nest or other disturbance Of the birds

stances ever some of the shyer inhab.

ers, owls and ducks, can be induced

Some mourn their failure to achieve
The glory of the great.
Some people moan because, unknown,
Their talents go to waste:
And some because they sit alone.
Unwooed and unembraced;
Some people weep because they reap
No crops from seeds they SOW,
And some are sad because they've had
unlovely rows to hoe.
Some people let themselves forget
That gladness may be gained,
Because they find themselves in debt
And always are restrained;
Worst fools Of all are they who bawl
Their sorrows to the crowd,
And SWIVEL when their fellow men
Have reason to be proud.

rors and double assessments amounted

Sheriff Esch reports that all of the
property upon which half taxes were
not paid during the past annual period
has been sold. The receipts amounting
to about $500.
That the business in the Marion
county sheriff S office has increased
greatly during the past year is amply
attested to by the records kept in the
department. In 1918 Sheriff Esch and
his deputies handled $40 civil cases
while in 1912 only S37 civil proceed

OFFICER PULLS GUN IN
MAKING ARREST Of
ALLEGED THIEF

A little piece of gun play was staged
this morning when Day Officer Welch
placed three hoboes under arrest, at
the intersection of Belmont and North
Winter streets. The knights of the
road were trying to sell a salted ham
when apprehended by the officer. When
placed under arrest, one of the fellows
began cutting up capers that evidenced
trouble. He approached Welch with
his hands in unpleasant territory and
the officer calmly poked big 44-Colts
under the gentleman 8 nose. The said
gentleman s face turned white under
its coat of mother earth and he meekly
turned around and proceeded to the
police station
He told the policeman, "To h
with that gun" but, nevertheless, he
was not in a mood to start anything
more, and the three were soon
" frisked" and escorted behind the
bars where they 'grumbled and found
fault with everything in general.
The men gave their names as John
Chopsfind, Pete Mollish and Jack 81
mon. They refused to tell where they
got the ham they were trying to sell
but the police believe that some unof
Tending farmer north of the city will
soon discover that his smoke house has
been tampered with.
