FEED THE BIRDS
STATE COLLEGE PRESIDENT
TELLS OF GREAT GOOD BIRDS
DO TO HUMANITY.

Brookings. Feb. 15.-.F Feed the
birds" urges President H.. G.. Perizho.
of state college, in q special appeal 10
farmers. The snow blanket over
much of the state prevents the birds
from having access TO corn and grain
fields. and the following valuable
birds are in especial jeopardy. Field
sparrows. quail and prairie chicken.
The State college wishes i'm every
way possible to encourage the protcc-
ton and preservation of birds.
Birds Have Great Economic Value.
1t has been estimated. says Pres
ident perisho, by the United States
department of agriculture, also BIZ in-
y%estigation in Iowa, that one field
sparrow will eat one-half ounce of
weed seed a day-an astounding
amount for a season. 1t has also
been calculated that one quail Is
worth from $40 to $50 a year to ANY
farmer who is fortunate to have this
bird on his land. The prairie chick
EN- is still more valuable as an insect
destroyer.
Professor SEVERN, of our entomo-
logy department, has stated that each
year fully 10 per cent Of all our grain
crops i'm South Dakota are destroyed
by worms, grubs and various insects.
To prevent this millions of dollars of
waste annually our farmers could
easily afford TO feed and protect dur
ing the winter months the birds.

through Prof. MAR, superintendent Of
the boys and girls club work. several
hundred letters to the boys and girls
of the state who are interested in the
various crops, requesting that they
scatter grain, and where necessary,
make some sort of protection for the
birds which are of so much use TO the
farmer.
Prof. Randlett and the entire X

cially the county agents, are doing
all they can TO assist in the work. 4
number of commercial clubs, located
in those parts Of the state where
birds need protection are being urged
to cooperate. The rural mail car
riers will prove especially valuable in
helping to preserve the birds.
The Audubon society. through its
officer, Mr.. T. Gilbert Pearson. has
promised 500 to South Dakota in
this effort to save the birds. We urge
everyone in the state who is interest

TOWN OF JAMES BLAMED FOR
THE DRINKS UNTIL DETEC-
TIVES STARTED TO WORK.

Aberdeen, Feb. 1.-THE fight
against the sale of liquor in Aberdeen
has reached the injunction stage with
a vengeance. First, four druggists
charged with selling liquor contrary
to the city ordinances, secured a re
straining order from Judge Thomas

the accused men on the ground that

sale of liquors. .

He alleged in his petition that the

they be prohibited from selling or
giving away liquor pending the final
determination of the action. The de-
PENDANTS have thirty days in which to
answer, and meantime they are re-
strained from selling liquor. The
temporary restraining order asked by
the states attorney was granted by
Judge Bouck. as was the restraining

judge in the liquor cases. Hearings
on the two orders will probably be

Worlds Series Echoes.

A scandal followed the last worlds
series. Indeed, this scandal started
with the Anal series between the
Giants and the Dodgers. when John
McGraw made his getaway from the
Giants bench. Charlie Ebbets' en-
deavors to make more money than
glory sink into insignihcance COM
pared with the suspicion that the
Dodgers were handed their pennant
by the New York club.
Then. when Ban Johnson ripped
out few characteristic remarks
anent this AFFAIR. Tener yielded to
poor advice and went out against
Johnson. who was most cehtainiy
correct In his remarks. Tener, had
he the ability his magnates believed
him to have. would have spread oil
on troubled waters, rather than
stir up a fuss with the most power

er. Tom Lynch. So he was chosen.
Tener was expected to have all
the ability of a politician, coupled
with knowledge of baseball. which
he once played. But he has hardly
been q success. Indeed, Jim Gafr-
ney once told him to his face at a
National League meeting:
Mr.. Tener. they told us We were
getting a big man. We have-in
bulk"
At that. Tener managed to get by
without much trouble until the
Federal League announced itself
ready to quit its warfare upon or
Banized baseball. Then he showed
a lamentable lack OF knowledge OF
the power OF New York newspapers
and the shrewdness and ability of
New York baseball writers. No base
ball magnate ever got himself into
such jam with the sporting press
as did Tener last December in New
York, when he professed to know
nothing of Barney Dreyfuss' famous
trip to Chicago to heal the open sore
In the national game. Furthermore.
no time was lost by certain news

stood.
Since last December Ban Jobp,on

League in admirable fashion, so why
should he bother about the blunder-
ing Tener?
