Is there a farmer in this land who
would not welcome as a friend the
man who would offer 10 uproot and
kill 90, weeds. Yet, because the
doves go about silently and unob-
trusiveiy. and make no loud boasts
about the good they are doing. they
are thought of as of little or no
value
II is question for the farmers to
settle whether they will permit any
one to kill on their land birds that
annually destroy tons. of seeds, and
are thus worth so much as helpers
on the farm.
How much viii it COS; in time and
labor and actual cash to destroy
what the doves will eat il they are
protected Vnd encouraged to remain
on the farms?
The dove Is too valuable an aux
Hilary TO the farmer to have 1t classed
as game bird. Its value consists
in its Notwithstanding activities and
not In the few ounces of food it may
furnish.
Most of the doves at the present
time have young that are not ready
20 leave the nest. Shall we treat
our doves as the beautiful white
heron has been treated until they are
nearly extinct? Every dove killed
this month means little ones left
to starve.
Besides. as doves feed their young
in the same manner as. do pigeons,
are the parent birds really suitable
for the table? Most sincerely,

ULTIMATUm
TO GERMANY
IS. DENIED

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-After re-
fusing at first to discuss the report
that the United States has demanded
that German specifically disavow the
sinking of the Lusitania not later than
February 5 next, Secretary Lansing re-
considered his determination and
specifically denied the report. He
said:
There is absolutely nothing to this
story"
That was all that the secretary
would say about the matter for pub
lication. but he made it plain that he
has made no engagement to see Count
Won Vernstorff in the immediate flu
ture and probably will not do so until
the latter hears from Berlin.
The administration, it was said, still
is waiting for Germany's reply to the
communication presented to Count
Won Bernstorff by Secretary Lansing
last Wednesday.

Reasons for Opposition.
Opponents of Brandeis insisted that
his nomination would be opposed on
the following grounds:
First, because he is recognized a
radical reformer with strongly parti-

Second, his appointment will weak
