Rich American Woman Nursing
the Wounded in Vienna.

The following paragraph about Mrs.
Frederick C. Penfield is taken from the
About People department of the March
Woman's Home Companion:
In November it was officially an
nounced that the Emperor Francis
Joseph had conferred upon Mrs. Fred
erick CORTLAND Penfield, wife of the
American ambassador at Vienna, the
Grand Cross of the Order of Elizabeth
in recognition of her interchangeable work
among the sick and wounded soldiers
with whom the Austro- Hungarian capt.
tai is crowded 1t is said that this is
the first time that this decora ion has
been given to woman not connected
with the imperial family. Besides la
boring at more arduou tasks, Mrs.
Penfield has been active in ,rganizing
travelling parties for providing soft
dressings for wounds, as the deplorable
scarcity of cotton in Austria has made
it necessary to use what little old
fashioned lint dressing could be pro-
cured. Mrs. Penfeld, who was for
merly Mrs. Anne Weightman Walk er
of Philadelphia, is reputed to be one of
the wealthiest women in the world"

Dangerous Fire Season Forseen

Washington, Feb. 16. The possibility
of dangerous spring and summer fire
season in the national forests in the
west is presaged by reports that two
forest fires occurred in January and that
the snowfall in much of the Rocky
Mountain region and in the foothills has
been much below normal. January fires
are almost unheard of in the national
forests and the snow reports are re-
garded as especially significant, as they
indicate that unless the deficiency is
made up the forests will be dry earlier
in the spring than usual. with a conse-
quent increase in the fire menace.
The fires occurred in the Pike forest
in Colorado, and the Black Hills forest,
in South Dakota, the latter believed to
have been of incendiary origin, accord
ing to the district forester at Denver.
About rs acres was burned over all told.
They were the only national forest fires
reported for January.

Vermont is waking up to the neces-
sity of taking action in regard to get
tirg through Congress an appropriation
for deepening the narrows of Lake
Oh lmplain. Several of the civic bodies
of the State have adopted resolutions
praying for the passage of the bill. The
appropriation is a modest one, only
$500, 600 being called for. The neces-
sity for removing the obstruction at
the narrows is very apparent. The
benefits of the improvements to the
Champlain canal will be of but little
avail unless the lake channel is of the
same depth. Burlington Clipper.

MIGRATORY BIRDS
INCREASE IN NUMBER OF WA
TERFOWL THROUGH LEGIS-
LATION BY CONGRESS-.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 11.-Ac-
cording to a bulletin recently issued
by the department of agriculture,
there has been an extraordinary in
crease in the waterfowl population of
the United States during the past
two years. and this increase, the gov
eminent officials assert, is due al
most entirely to the passage by con
gress of the so called migratory bird
law, of which Senators John w.
Weeks of Massachusetts, and George
+. Mclean of Connecticut, we're the
joint authors. But even with this
encouraging increase in the depleted
ranks of the mallard. the blue winged
teal, the c~anvasbacks and the swan,
the gross number of waterfowl to be
found in the various states is not
more than 10 per cent of those that
existed before the recent %extraordi-
nary increase in rapid transportation
facilities, and a concerted movement
has been put on foot by organizations
representing sportsmen, farmers, con-
servationists and stock breeders to
have the provisions of the migratory
bird law extended in every possible
way. Just at present they are giving
their support to an appeal to the su-
preme court of the United States
from the decision of a federal court
in Arkansas declaring the law uncon-
stitutional.
1T required a lot of hard work,
aud much debate and argument upon
the part of those interested in the
preservation of the nations wild
game supply before congress could
be convinced of the pressing impor-
lance for early action" said Senator
Weeks recently, land | am glad that
a concerted effort is being made to
protect the law against unjust attack.
The migratory bird law is popular
among genuine sportsmen and among
the farmers, who know the value of
the migratory bird as a protection
against destructive insects, as is
proven by the fact that at least forty
states. since the passage of the fed
eral law, have adopted regulations in
conformity with it. Illinois, Wash
ington, Connecticut, Maine, New Mex
leo, North Dakota and Wisconsin
have passed laws prohibiting hunting
between sunset and sunrise, and it is
these wise laws, conforming with or
augmenting the federal migratory
bird law, that have had such splendid
effect in bringing about a partial
restoration of a great national asset
which was fast becoming exhausted
through Unrestricted shooting. |
sincerely hope that the good work
may proceed vigorously"
The state of Maine estimates the
annual income from its game re-
sources at $13, 600. 900, of which
about $650,00O can safely be allotted
to the returns from migratory water
fowl. and Oregon values its water
fowl at $1,000, 900 annually.

New District Adopts Modern Methods
of Highway Improvement.

Pierre, Oct. 12.-Over $4,000 as
county expenditure for highways, be-
sides the local expenditures of town
ships, is the proposition for Perkins
county for next year, which is a good
start for one of the new counties of
the state. Perkins is n of the few
counties of the state which have ask
ed for and received assistance from
the federal government in the way OF
services of a competent highway en-
gineer, and is also taking up the pol
icy of c~entralizing its road work for
the start on a few main lines to its
county seat and principal market
towns on the railways north and
south of the county. These main
trunk lines Will benefit practically
every resident of the county. by CIV
ing him a good road on a long haul
to his market town, and later de-
velopment will give the connecting
lines which will give every portion
of the county good roads over which
to get to market.
