It has taken more than twenty
years of steady work by the National
Audubon society to demonstrate the
economic value of the birds to agri-
culture, and the result is seen in our
state laws protecting song birds and
the federal laws protecting migratory
game birds. Incidentally, bird sanctu-
aries have been established in several
places. Henry Ford's, near Detroit,
and Avery island. on the Gulf coast,
given by Mrs. Russell Sage, are note
worthy. Several state preserves have
been set aside for the same protec-
ton. The bird club movement strives
to save the birds, with objects both
economic and esthetic. Bird club or
CARNATIONS have taken firm hold in
several of our largest cities, and have
brought about increased attractive
ness to parks and residential sections
by reclaiming the wihi native birds.
The methods include planting trees
and shrubs suitable for nesting places
and bearing acceptable fruit for food,
and the provision of drinking foun-
tains for bird use. The methods have
proved successful-and does anything
add more charm to outdoors in a city
than bird songs?

MENACE OF PROPERTY.

Property, as Prudhon truly but unin
tentionally says, is theft-but theft
merely from the owner. Philosophers
have pointed out that one does not
own things. as is commonly supposed,
for one is owned by things. The
more one possesses the greater slave
one is. One is tied down by property.
That is especially true of the married
person. But, of course, the furniture

attached to him on one side and on
the other to the wife of his bosom.
This is what one calls a Tasting at.
tachment." 1t is obvious, then, or
should be, without the answers" per-
son making such an uproar about it,
that a bachelors property-we scorn
the insulting ''little''-may be at
tached because it is not already at
tached except to the bachelor, which
attachment counts for little. This
should be a warning to the bachelor
against the dangers of owning prop
erty, which is sort of string hang
ing out to entangle him further, so
that he may, if he be not wary, be-
come a. benedict and a plutocrat-
take root somewhere, bring up fam
lily and forfeit forever the freedom of
the mossless rolling stone. And it
would serve him right.

Recently voluble salesman was
trying to close deal with a good Gus
toner. The salesman was doing all
the talking, and the buyer was becom-
ing not little annoyed. Several times
the customer started to speak, but the
salesman would choke him off, and
start on another line of argument.
Finally the manager saw what was up,
and suggested to the seller that he
allow the buyer to say something.
This the buyer did, and quickly. He
said that he had been trying for half
an hour to tell the salesman that he
would take the goods.

A strange fossil with head shaped
Ike that of man and body shaped
like that of a pelican is reported to
have been discovered near Fromberg,
Mont. 1t was imbedded in sedimen-
tary rock of the Mesozoic period. The
body of the fossil is two feet high.
The head shows a well-developed pro-
lection over the base of the brain,
large forehead and prominent jaw.
There is nothing on record to show
that there were chautauqua circuits
during the Mesozoic period.

On few predictions was the banking
community more agreed, in its discus
sions, prior to 1914, of the immediate
financial consequence of general Eu-
ropean war, than on the prophecy of
disastrous bankruptcies in the Euro
pean bank and business community.
Yet the official figures show that fail
ures in the United Kingdom were less
numerous in either 1914 or 1915 than
in any other year of the preceding
quarter century. The total number
was $50 in 1914 and 1864 in 1915, as
compared with 7,191 in 1913 and 1O,-
1876 in 1908.

proportionate increase in the death
rate among game birds. As a remedy
the state warden urges the killing of
all cats or their careful protection in
private homes. And where cats are
given good homes in respectable fam
lilies, he urges that a night guard or
patrol be maintained that the cats
habits be regulated and restricted.
