REFUSED TO TAKE CHANCES
Old Gentleman Had Come to conelu-
sion That There Was Hoodoo
on His Paying Mortgage

When Uncle George Pence. cham
pion teller Of tales at the statebouse.
was auditor Of Bartholomew county
some years ago. an old German in the
neighborhood owed 2 schoOl-fHnd mort
gage of $50 and reIigiously came 20 the
auditors Office at each Understanding
period to pay the small interest
The records showed that the old Ger
man had owed the mortgage for more
than thirty years, and he was rather
well-to-do.
One day. when he appeared to pay
his interest, Auditor Pence asked him
why he did not pay the $50 and stop
paying interest
The old man said he had started to
pay that mortgage three times in the
last thirty years and that each time
he had made up his mind to pay It
and had started out to do it. one Of his
sons had died.
4 am never going to pay it now" he
said, Observation-Disclosures News.

MAY SOON RIVAL FOOTBALL
Or. Naisnith of State University Has
New Candidate for Popular
ity in School Sports.

Dr. James Naismith. professor Of
physical education at the University
of Kansas, and whose name is linked
with that OF basketball, the game he
invented" and brought to its present
stage of perfection, has sprung a new
game on his classes. Up to the pres
ent time ne has not given the new
sport a name, but if the enthusiasm
with which it is being received at the
university is any indication, It should
prove headIiner for high school and
interclass contests within the next
year.
The new game combines all of the
best features of football and soccer
with the liability of injury reduced to
a minimum. According to the prelim-
mary rules the field on which the
game is played shall be regulation
rugby field with rugby goals. Each
team will have eleven members and
may take any position on the field
that may be deemed best. The ball
is similar to that used in soccer and
divided into four quarters. Scoring
will be done by either a place or drop
kick from the field or from a free try
or crossing the goal line
The most unique feature of the new
game is that rule which pertains to
the handling Of the ball. When the
ball is in play and is below the hips
all players must kick and no player
is allowed to lay hands upon the
sphere until it has been kicked to a
position above the hips, where it then
becomes permissa BILE to use the hands.
At this time kicking is permitted by
a runner who has taken the ball by
hand. A player running with the ball
may be tackled, but tackIing below
the hips is taboo. thus eliminating the
possibility of injury by the runner
kicking the tackler. The runner,
when tackled is, by the rules of the
game, compelled to stop, and the tack
Ter is not allowed to throw him.
While the game has proved intense
~ interesting at the University, DR..
Naismith contends that its chief value
will be to high schools and interclass
contests and he intends giVingsi it wide
notice when ne has brought about the
desired improvements.

from a less common but very much similar owl
OF which something will be written further on VI
owls which not described here at length
among the most useful the barred OWL
the long-eared and the shorteared owls
The screech owl is Of the best mousers IN
the world. 1t also is great destroyer OF lnsec's-
1t starts its hunting about sunset and II journeys
round and round the buildings in the country

Fisher, the governments expert IN all matters per
tanning to hawks and owls, says OF the little
screech owls that their economic relations are OF
the greatest importance, particularly on account
Of the abundance of the species in farming dis
tricts; and whoever destroys them through ignor-
ance or prejudice should be severely condemned
It was the barn owl or a species closely allied
to it. OF which Gray wrote in his "Elegy, the
moping owl doth to the moon complain Some
times the barn owl is called the monkey-faced owl
because its countenance does look trife like that
of the monkey. In recent years the barn owls
have been decreasing in numbers because Of the
mistaken belief that they kill poultry The
trouble is that barn owls frequently live in barns
or in other structures reared by man, and because
they are seen therefore about the poultry
yards frequently impression is given that they
are chicken thieves. The barn owl, however. IS
one of the most beneficial Of all our rapaciOus
birds 1t dearly loves rats and mice, and one barn
owl is worth dozen cats as ratter and mouser-
There is a little owl commonly called the saw
zhet" which is an interesting and beneficial crea-
ture At first glance one might think that the
saw-whet owl is a -screech owl. but on taking
second look it will be seen that the saw-whet
lacks the ear tufts or feathered horns that are
worn by it's little cousin.
The saw-whet owl gets its name from the fact
that it's note sounds like the whetting of a

bird is not much of a musician. 1t is a great
mouser, and like most of the other owls. seems to
prefer these small rodents to almost any other
article of diet
The saw-whet owl raises large family each
year 1t keeps the father and mother exceedingly
busy to get enough mice to feed the offspring. but
they keep at the hunting work for hours at a
time and probably deny themselves many mouse
morsel in order that the young may get enough
1t is an easy matter for person to get from the
government full knowledge OF the habits of the
beneficial hawks and owls Of the United States
The biological survey of the department of agri-
culture has the records in the case and will be
glad enough 70 furnish information to persons

mented the fact that he could not find more spe-
cies of the little mammals than he did in the
White House yard. 1 always have thought that
the reason was to be found back OF the eagle on
the state department front. The two sparrow
hawks kept the lawns pretty well clear OF the
minor rodents.
The marsh hawk Circus hudsonius is one of the
most beautiful birds of prey in the United States
and one of the most useful. The adult male has
a blush slate body, streaked with white. and be-
coming pure white just above the tail and under
meath. The underparts are lightly specked with
reddish brown. The adult female and the young
are rusty in color. with good many streaks-
Marsh hawks, their suggests, haunt the
wet places but frequently they flying low
the dry fields and the prairies. Perhaps
do better than quote Vernon Bailey
the subject OF the marsh hawk. He writes:
The intelligent farmer usually recognizes the
value of this hawk and the fact that it almost
never touches his poultry He sees it skimming
his meadows and diving into the grass for
mice. and wisely lets its live; but nevertheless he
would be surprised if he could figure out how
many dollars it him during the year"
1t is virtually impossible within the scope of
comparatively short article to give anything like

hawks in the United States They form feath-

The Swanson hawk. Buteo swainsont; is
distributed from the far arctic regions way south
ward to the Argentine Republic In the United
States, it is fairly common from the western
ocean to Wisconsin and Illinois. and occasionally
it is found in the East.
Major Bendire. the army ornithologist, wrote of
this hawk, which he studied for long time:
The food Of Swainsons hawk consists almost
entirely the smaller rodents principally striped
gophers and mice. well as grasshoppers and the
large black cricket which is very common,
well as destructive, in certain seasons. and the
