Length, eight inches.

L0uSLu, eight luCuOn.
Range: Breeds from Kansas, Ohio,
Georgia (mountains), and New Jer-
sey, north to southern Canada; win
tiers from Mexico to South America.
Habits and economic status: This
beautiful grosbeak is noted for its
clear, melodious notes, which are
poured forth in generous measure. The
rosebreast sings even at midday dur
ing summer, when the intense heat
has silenced almost every other song
ster. It's beautiful plumage and
sweet song are not its sole claim on
our favor, for few birds are more
beneficial to agriculture. The rose
breast eats some green peas and does
some damage to fruit. But this mis-
chief Is much more than balanced by
the destruction Of insect pests. The
bird is so fond of the Colorado potato
"potato-bug bird" and no less than a
tenth of the total food of the rose
breasts examined consists of potato
beetles-evidence that the bird Is one
of the most important enemies of the
pest. 1t vigorously attacks cucumber
beetles and many of the scale insects.
It proved an active enemy Of the
Rocky mountain locust during that
insects ruinous %invasions, and among
the other pests it consumes are the
spring and fall cankerworms, orchard
and forest tent caterpillars, tussock,
gypsy, and brown-tail moths, plum cur
culio, army worm, and chinch bug. In
fact, not one of u birds has a better
record.

El0quence.

Walt Mason: I listen to the gift
ed speaker, the patriotic Office seek
err, who lifts his voice, that's strong
and hearty, and nearly sinks the
other party. He shows how tyrants
grind and goad me, and get my goat
and overload me, and rob me by un-
lust taxation, until I'm hot with in
|dignation. And when I leave that
redhot meeting, l say, "Such facts
are surely heating: unless that fell
low is elected, the country'ss doom
may be expected" Next night I hear
another spieler address the voter and
the heeler. He is the gifted speak
er's foeman, and with the front of
ancient Roman, that gifted speaker
he denounces, and with the lash OF
virtue trounces. He shows me how
the gifted speaker is but chronic
office seeker, the agent of bunch
of tyrants who charge the poor un-
holy high rents, who, having got
me, won't release me, but certainly
will grind and fleece me. And as
leave the hall I mutter, "Well
drift along to ruin utter, unless this
fellow is the winner, unless he beats
that baleful sinner!" I hear the pa
triots embatled; the more I hear,
the worse I'm ratified!

Net Owners Beat It.

Three men were discovered fish
ling with tram net in theNriver back
of the H. F. Reinhardt place Fri
day afternoon. Geo. Yaus was fish
ing at that point and saw three men
sitting upon the bank of the river.
He thought nothing of it, supposing
they were hunting for clans. Later,
Alex Bossert happened along and
spied the floats upon the net, where:
upon the owners beat it. The net
was drawn ashore and was found to
be about 60 feet long. 1t was load
ed into the wagon of a nearby farm
er and will be turned over to the au-
thorities. It is thought the seiners
are "home talent" Here might be
a good chance for the Boy Scouts to
exercise their genius. There may be
some Sherlock Holmes in their
ranks. These law violators ought to.
be ferreted out and punished.

State Board Responsible.

A few days ago the Freeman Trib-
une mentioned the fact that some
dissatisfaction had been expressed
by taxpayers over the new form of
receipt for the second half of taxes
furnished by Treasurer Hughes. Mr..
Hughes says he is not responsible for
the change, and that he does not like
it himself. The state board of eX-
aminers ordered it. The treasurer
says he did not have to commence
with this year, but as the new style
would have to be inaugurated in the
near future he thought he might as
we'll begin now as any other time.
Just what authority the state board
has in matters of this kind the Free
man-Tribune doesn't know, but it
does know these new receipts are not
popular among taxpayers. They
might like them after they get used
to them, like the boy learning to
smoke. By-the-way, it appears to
this paper that examination OF
county officers by the state board is
being overworked. There are six
teen men employed and two of them
visit each county every year. One
OF these is paid IS per day and the

Obituary.

The following obituary Of Mrs.
Florence Emily Neese, we'll known
in this community, is from the
Shaunavon, Canada, Standard:
Deceased was born in Minneapo-
lis, Mimi, April 22nd, 1889. On
May the 18th, 1909, she was mar,
ried to Clyde Neese at Coal Harbor,
N. D. The following spring they
moved to Instow, Sask., where they
made their home until the death of
Mr.. Neese in December last, when
Mrs. Neese then moved to Shauna-
Won.
Since coming to Shaunavon she
has made a wide circle of friends,
who will mourn her ,untimely death.
For many years she has been de-
voted member of the Christian
church, but since coming here has
given her energies and sympathies
wherever she saw a need.
Deceased leaves to mourn her loss
her mother, father and brother, be-
sides three little children who will
never know the loss they have sus-
tanned in the departure of loving
Christian mother.
Shortly before her illness Mrs.
Neese wrote the following verses,
which not only indicate her ability,
but give a glimpse into the loneli-
ness of heart which must have been
hers since the death of her husband:
In the hour that comes at the even
tide
And there's naught for my hands to
do
When fold on fold the dreams Of gold
Weave their spell round the days of
old
And home, dear love, with you.
Oh, dreams of days that were dark
and dreary,
And the days that were gold and
| blue;
Through SHOWS that drift, and sands
that sift,
My rowing heart, where the dream
clouds lift
Finds home, dear love, and you.
When the hour that comes at the ev-
entide
Finds naught for my hands to do
To the Gates of the West, at the enc
of my Quest
Swift will my heart, as bird to 1t:
| nest,
Find home, dear love, and you.

Rev. G. H. Kamphoefner Elected to
Preside Over Ida Grove
District at Methodist
Conference.
REV. W. ]. TODD TO THIS CITY.
Opposition to Rev. Kamphoefnel
Leaving Conference Cause Of
Appointment.

At the recent session of the North
west Iowa Methodist Conference,
held at Spencer, there was so much
opposition to the Rev. c. H. Kamp-
hoefner leaving the bounds of the
conference, even temporarily, to take
up the work in connection with the
Educational Jubilee that he evident
ly reconsidered the matter, as a
message just received Monday states
that he goes to the Ida Grove dis
trict as district superintendent. This
is the same position which the Rev.
w. T. Macdonald, of Fort Dodge,
holds in this, the Fort Dodge dis
trict. The position of district super
intendent is quite a responsible one,
but that Rev. Kamphoefner will
measure up to the responsibilities
and bring his district we'll to the
front is foregone conclusion. The
strong movement against his leav
ing the northwest Iowa field by the
men of the conference, proves how
high in esteem Mr.. Kamphoefner is
held by them.
Rev. w. J. Todd, of Ida Grove, has
been appointed as pastor of the local
church. Rev. Todd is man of pleas
ing personality good preacher,
and one of the strong men of the
He has been at Ida
Grove for some years and comes we'll
prepared to take up the work SO
faithfully carried on for eight years
by his predecessor. It is expected
that he will preach his first sermon
here next Sunday morning.
