MOVIES" NS. BABY.

If movies" interfere with the baby give up the baby. This was eNi- dently the motto of one mother who attended a motion picture show at a local theater last evening. The mother was in for the first round of pictures, leaving her baby in it's carriage in the entrance. The youngster evidently felt piqued at being left alone and while the performance was going out unleashed several lusty howls. The baby became so annoying that the management flashed a request on the screen for the mother to report at the box office. The movies were too magnetic. however. and the youngster was left to cry itself to sleep.

NO PURCHASING AGENT.

Comptroller Hanford l.. Curtis will attend the meeting of the charter re- vision committee tomorrow night and will express his views regarding the plan to have a purchasing agent for the city Mir. Curtis does not be- lieve such an official is necessary and believes it would be sufficient to per init him to pay bills on which the city would reap benefits through cash discounts. He says that little is to be gained by these discounts and this little could be taken care of by him just as easily as by purchasing agent.

Washington, Feb. s.--Japan's rec quirement that China keep secret the negotiations between the two eoun- tries now being carried on to deter mine the relations Of these two eoun- tries to each other. following the capl ture of Kiau-Chau, prevents the Unit cd States government for the present from knowing just what the demands and discussions between Japan ano China comprehend.
 Virtually no information has been received from either Am bassador Guthrie at Tokio or Minister Reinsch at Picking. giving any definite idea as to what the demands of Japan include notwithstanding the fact that tho ne gotiations have been in progress for some time.

to Nfikado.

Picking, China, Feb. S.-Military ac- ton to enforce it's demands upon China has been threatened by the Jap anese government, according to a ca ble message from the Chinese min ister to Tokio. 1t is believed in off, cial circles here, however, that the communication should not be taken too seriously.
 Both public men and newspapers are urging President Yuan Shi Kai to let Japan seize by force what she wishes. as China would be unable to oppose her, but refuse to grant hu- initiating concessions. Ii Is report- ed that President Yuan Shi Kai in- tends to meet some of the demands, granting Japan such concessions as would be given to any other country, but stubbornly resisting any trans gression of China's sovereign rights. The government is observing Japan's requirement. that secrecy be main tained in conducting negotiations, as it is desired to give Japan every op- portunity of moderating her demands without losing prestige.

tive enough to induce the bird to al
ter its diet. The grain taken in win
ter and spring probably consists Of
waste kernels from the stubble. The
stomachs do not indicate that the
bird pulls sprouting grain; but the
wheat eaten in July and August and
the corn eaten In fall are probably
from fields OF standing grain. The
total amount Of grain consumed dur
ing the year constitutes As per cent
of the food, but II is safe to say that
at least half Is waste grain and con-

Swallows That Have Attached Them

There are seven common species
of swallows in the United States and
four of these have already abandoned
their primitive nesting habits to some

of the important birds described in

orally Grams it's stomach with this
pest which is so annoying to the
farmer. During the breeding season
also this bird does much good by eat

young, which are reared almost en-
tirely on this food
The crow blackbird or grackle in
one or more of its subspecies is a
familiar object in all the states east
of the Rocky mountains. In the Mis-
sissippi valley it is one of the most
abundant of birds, preferring to nest
in the artificial groves and wind
breaks near farms instead of in the
natural timber which it formerly
used. II breeds also in parks and
near buildings, often in considerable
colonies. Farther east, in New Eng
land. it is only locally abundant,
though frequently seen in migration.
In the latter days Of August and
throughout September it is found in
immense numbers before moving
southwark.
The grackle is accused of many
sins, such as stealing grain and fruit
and robbing the nests of other birds.
An examination of 2,346 stomachs
shows that nearly one-third of it's
food consists of insects, most of which
are injurious. The bird also eats a
few snails, crawfishes, salamanders.
small fish, and occasionally a mouse.
1t is on account Of it's vegetable
food that the grackle most deserves
condemnation. Grain is eaten during
the whole year, and only for short
time in summer is other food attrac-

Insects, the nests are picturesque
rather than ugly.
In the eastern part of the country
the barn swallow now builds exclu-
sively under roofs, having entirely
abandoned the rock caves and cliffs
in which it formerly nestled. More
recently the cliff swallow has found a
better nesting site under the caves of
buildings than was afforded by the
overhanging cliffs of earth or stone
which 1t once used and to which Il
still resorts occasionally in the East
and habitually in the unsettled West.
The martin and the white-bellied. or
tree, swallow nest either In houses
supplied for the purpose, in abandoned
nests OF woodpeckers, or in natural
crannies in rocks. The northern vio-
let-green swallow, the rough-winged
swallow, and the bank swallow still
live in practically such places as their
ancestors chose.
Field observation convinces an or
dinarily attentive person that the food
of swallows must consist of the small
er insects captured in midair or
picked from the tops of tall grass or
weeds. This observation is borne out
by an examination of stomachs, which
shows that the food is made up Of
many small species of beetles which
are much on the wing; many species
of mosquitoes and their allies, togeth-
er with large quantities of flying ants;
and few insects of similar kinds.
Unlike many other groups of birds,
the six species of swallows found in
the eastern states extend in a prac-
tically unchanged form across the con-
tinent. where they are REINFORCED by
the northern. or Pacific coast, violet
green swallow.

HOW TO SHIP MATCHING EGGS
Most Important Thing Is to Satisfy
customers-Neat, Attractive
Package Is Pleasing.

The most important thing is to
satisfy your customers by giving them
exactly what you advertise to sell, or,
even doing little better.
If eggs are broken in transit do not
hesitate to replace them the day you
receive the complaint from your GUS
toner.
Give everybody a square deal and
remember that satisfied customer is
always a customer.
A neat, attractive package may cost
a trife more than a slovenly one, bu'
1t will please your customers and ad-
vertise your egg business, because
customers very often Judge a mans
business by first impressions of pack
age and contents when they are re-
ceived.
The best package for shipping eggs
is basket, although many breeders
do not use them.
The basket should hold one or two
settings, and these can be got for two
cents from any manufacturer. A thick
layer of excelsior should cover the
bottom, and all eggs should be
wrapped in soft paper and so packed
with fine excelsior that they will not
touch each other.
When the eggs are packed put an
other layer of excelsior over the top
and cover with a thin board.
Next to the basket is the egg box
made for holding IL or Is eggs. This
is arranged with cardboard compart-
ments with room for excelsior or other
packing at the top and bottom.
This box is provided with a wire
handle and the cover slides into
grooves which may then be screwed
or tackled down with small nails.
Never ship a package that is not
screwed or nailed down, because this
will save eggs from being filched by
curious persons who can open the
package in transit.
Never ship a soiled egg. Nothin.
so disgusts a customer as to receive Z
setting Of eggs which are dirty an
of poor shape.
Eggs should be selected so tina
each setting win be uniform in size
shape and color when possible.
