and, in one instance, by song spar row.
 The number of house birds may be stlll further augmented as time goes on. All of the commoner woodpeck- CTS are likely to be included, as are several of the small owls and wrens, and few of the wild ducks, as the golden-eye. The wood duck is already known to use nesting boxes. Houses set close to streams in the western mountains will probably be occupied by ousels or dippers. Florida grackles sometimes breed in flicker holes and may be expected to occupy houses now and then. In every locality hay ing trees there is a group of birds ready to appropriate houses when they have the opportunity.
 House birds differ decidedly in their requirements. For those which usu- ally excavate homes for themselves, the diameter for the entrance and the depth and diameter of the cavity must be in accord with their specific standards. Some birds are satisfied with almost any sort of a lodging. Bluebirds and wrens, for example, are content to build in tomato cans, al though chickadees and nuthatches disdain them. Wood is a better build ing material than metal or earthen- ware. Entrance holes should be coun- tersunk from the outside to exclude rain. Heads of nails and screws should be set rather deeply and GOV cred with putty. All houses should be easy to open for cleaning. A perch at the entrance is unnecessary and may even be an objection, as it is frequently used by English spar rows while they twitter eXasperating- ly to more desirable occupants To | provide for proper ventilation a row of small holes is sometimes bored just beneath the caves, but there should never be a yentilating hole 1 lower than the entrance, and joints should be made tight, as drafts of air are dangerous. In case there is dan ger that rain may be driven in through the door, small drainage hole, which 1 will be covered by the nest, may be made in the middle of the floor.
 The appearance and durability of houses are improved by a coat of paint. A neutral shade of green or l gray is suitable for houses mounted in trees, while those on poles, being conspicuously placed, lend them ha 1u fn rn when painted white.
 Possibilities in the way of impro- vising bird houses with very little work are suggested in this article. Ordi- nary tomato cans arranged as nests will quickly be tenantcd by wrens and bluebirds. The cans ought always to be placed in shaded places, as the metal becomes very hot in the sun, Bird houses in the southern states have long been made from gourds. l The entrance is in the side and a drain hole in the bottom, as shown in figure 4. A piece of wire through the neck for mounting it completes the house. A number of gourds thus pre- pared and strung on a pole seems to make a satisfactory tenement house for colony of martins. Used singly they are equally well adapted to wrens and bluebirds While gourds are not durable when exposed to the weather they are easily replaced.
 Ordinary wooden boxes, if clean, can be made into bird houses by merely mailing on a cover and cutting out an entrance hole. Such make shifts are rarely weatherproof and are

In winter they are often pushed for food, and if we supply this need they will report daily at the lunch counter and help to relieve the tedium of our indoor life. In sum mer they care less for food provided by their human friends, and other means must be sought to attract them about the home They appreciate fresh water for bathing and drinking. A shallow pool of varying depth, If only foot across, becomes on hot days center of attraction for all the birds in the vicinity, and it may be made with little effort and mate rial; only small amount of cement is required, or, if that be lacking, a pan with stones in it set in the ground will be equally serviceable. Trees, shrubs and vines bearing fruit rel ished by birds are great attractions in their season.
 Birds are desirable about premises not only on account of their beauty and song, but because of the economic value. There is, therefore, a double purpose in offering them special nesting facilities If mud is available, swallows, robins and phoebes will find and wall their nests with it. If we put out feathers, bits of wool, or twine, a dozen different kinds of birds will make use of them. If We furnish safe retreats in which they can rear their young comfortably, most of them will be occupied. In fact no attraction for summer birds is more

 The men were not expecting to be paid yesterday. The report had been out that this would be "pay day" The result was that the merchants made no arrangements to obtain cash, and the banks being closed, the railroad employees found themselves in a situa- tion similar to that of Americans in Europe when the war started.

PROSPERITY AHEAD.

Although the situation at the begin ming of 1915 is not all that we would have, it is not nearly as bad as ltI could be nor as it was three months ago. The principal cause of whatever business depression exists in this country is due to the war in Europe, which has hampered international trade. But conditions are rapidly inn proving. and even if the war contln- ues, only few months, at most, Will elapse before the United States eX- port trade will be greater than ever | The United States is the one groaN country that has goods to sell right now, war ending or war continuing
 The belligerent nations are spend ing millions in the United States, and this means that men thrown out of employment when the scare came are being put back to work. Samuei Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, says so, and Mir Gompers is one man who ought lo know. The railroad rate increase ln the East is also adding to industrial prosperity.
 Insofar as the South, and partlcu' larly this section, is concerned, theres s an air of gloom in some circles De- cause of the cotton situation. This is dispelling rapidly Cotton values are advancing; exports are increas- ing. There's big demand in Germany and Austria for cotton at 12 and To cents net. With shipping restored. the time is net far when cotton will he selling for it's full value, ana therell likely be demand for all that is on the market at the prices. In view of the assured curtailment in cotton production, holders of cotton will not be anxious to sell. The big men see opportunity to reap immense profits by holding for few months and they'll grasp it.
 The movement in Arkansas to grew more of our needs can bring only prosperity. Acres devoted to cotton will produce more because of better cultivation, and by the planting ol grain, forage. hay and vegetables, the farmer will send less of his none! out of the state. More meat will bf grown this year, and this means ad ditional prosperity.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1915-04-14

The Brown County Bank of New
Ulm has started a savings cam
paign along the same lines as a.
dopted by thousands of banks in the
United States for stimulating new ac-
counts in the saving department. While
the saving deposits of the bank have
grown in very satisfactory way yet
no extra effort has so far been made to
stimulate deposits in this department,
and it is with the view of extending to
it's clients all the conveniences that
this campaign is made "A handsome
nickel plated bank is loaned free of
charge to every man or woman who
opens an account with the Brown Co.
Bank by making deposit of one dollar
or more. The dollar is not given
as a payment for. the bank but starts
the account and is credited to the de-
position. These banks remain the proper
ty of the Brown Co. Bank, they retain
ing the key. The latter feature is es-
pecially valuable, for these banks can
not be unlocked except by an officer
of the Brown Co. Bank and the con-
tents is accumulated to make de-
post. All classes of people will find
this saving system very convenient
one and will make saving easier and
surer than any other way.
