Quarry owners, granite manufacturers
and other heavy users of soft coal are
practicing their own notion of prepared
ness these days by procuring in advance
of the kite prices quantities of coal large
enough to carry them along for some
time. In local instances where users
purchase their bituminous fuel direct
from the mines. many shipments have
been received within few days. Antici-
patton of unsettled labor conditions in
the soft coal fields is said TO account for
the unusual activity in shipments of the
kind. Last Sunday 20 carloads of coal
climbed Milestone hill and more have fol-
lowed during the week.
There is a Barre tailor whose native in
terest in bird lore often leads him far
afield in his search for opportunities to
study the feathered neighbors at close
range Recently there came to a window
sill located on the block directly across
the alley from his own shop window, a
pair of elderly doves, who looked the
grounds over pretty thoroughly and de-
cided to build. Now there is a little flock |
of fledglings and when the tailor's atten
tion isn't riveted on his smoothing iron,
he is studying the habits Of the pigeons
in their native haunts. The tailor's ae-
quaintance with birds includes good
many species, but he says he has yet to
discern a member of the bird family that
is more attentive to its young than the
dove.

ElmwOOd Park as a Bird Sanctuary.

The Woman's club is about to take a
practical step in bird protection by max
ing an effort to convert the northern end

The spot is already favorite resort for

and ideal situations for nesting boxes, an

who are not willing to 90 the limit in
the matter of preparedness, or who OBJ.
| lect to certain phases of it in our pub
lie schools, have come to an understand
| ing OF the fact that we should not be
altogether at the mercy of unfavorable
conditions in military emergency, since
our standing army is a comparatively
small one
IL is, therefore, with satisfaction that
we see the manufacturers and other
business men encouraging their employees
to secure a little military instruction,
the encouragement coming in the form
of an offer of full pay while they are
engaged in this sort OF vacation OF
course it is not to be expected that bus
mess men will be willing to see their in
dustries crippled through the temporary
loss of a large number of employees, but
such a contingency will hardly arise
since it is pr tty certain that only a linn
tied number OF men would be likely to 90
from any one plant.
This sort OF encouragement has not
always been extended to the members OF
the state militia. Indeed, militia OH
GERS have been heard to complain in the
past that some enlistments have been
prevented or men have withdrawn from
the organization because they found 10
difficult to attend the annual tour OF
camp duty which is imposed on all mem
bers of the militia. In such cases it is
not necessary to violate the law by re-
fusing permission for military duty.
There are ways to get around the CON
tingency Such course on the part Of
the employers would not be popular at
the present moment, however.--Sprinc-

FEW FOUND TO BE PERFECT
According to Tests Made the Ideal
Husband Seems to Be Some
what Rare Animal.

In a recent husband show each com
petitor was required to do certain
things and answer certain questions.
says Pearson's Weekly.
The ideal husband answered all the
questions and did all his tasks without
fail.
Are you the husband every wife
should have? If so:
Can you give the day of the week
you were married on and it's full date!
Do you know when your motber-in-
laws birthday is?
When you left for the office this
morning what kind of dress was your
wife wearing
Can you say offhand what the mar
ket prices of eggs, butter. cheese
meat and bread are?
Do you know the cheapest shopping
places in your neighborhood?
One of the tests the husbands had
was as follows: The wives stood behind
curtain and placed one hand above
it. Each husband was required to PICK
out his wife's hand. A good many
failed!
Do you make point OF always
praising your wife when she has
cooked anything more daintily than
usual?
Do you tell her she's the best wife
In the world?
Have you ever acknowledged to her
that you are wrong and she Is right
in any argument?
II you can answer these questions
satisfactorily then you can put your
self down as the perfect husband-ac-
cording to this interesting and In
structive test, at any rate.
