Increasing Interest in the Birds.
from the Columbus State Journal.

From the Columbus State Journal.
Interest in the preservation of wild
bird life Is increasing throughout the
country. The records of the National
Association of Audubon societies show
that at the close Of the school year
ended this month $4,000 more boys and
girls were enrolled in Junior bird clubs
than were SO enrolled at the close OF
the preceding year. About one-tenth OF
the total membership is in Ohio, where
interest in the birds seems to be espe-
cially lively.
The campaign of the Audubon socie-
ties in recent years has awakened the
country to the actual economic value of
the wild birds, and to the sad and cost
ly results in the way of invincible
armies of destructive insects which, as
surely as the night follows the day.
would follow any considerable reduc-
ton in their numbers. This awakened
interest has served to extend appre-
citation of the birds esthetic value, as
things of beauty and Joy forever. and
our battalions Of bird lovers and stu
dents are gaining new and enthusiastic
recruits all the time.

Chinchilla Almost Extinct.

From the Kansas City Journal.
OF all the furs found in and ex-
ported from South America, chinchilla
is the finest and most valuable. 1t has
gained in popularity to such an extent
that there is grave danger of the chin
chilla following the arctic seal almost
to extinction.
1t is hunted in the Cordilleras of
Bolivia and northern Chile but has al
ready vanished from the provinces of
Antofagasta and africa, where 1t was
formerly plentiful Skins that were
worth $40 in Chile in 1908 brought
$40 in 1912.
The chinchilla is hunted by Indians
with dogs and ferrets that are trained
to enter the burrows. This involves
destruction Of the young.
A movement to prohibit the killing
of chinchilla or the sale of their fur
is on foot in Chile and some men have
gone into the business Of breeding the
animals on a large scale.

GOOD FOOD IN PLENTY
FOR BORDER SOLDIERS

Mai. Gen. Bliss reported to the War
Departrren today that he had completed
his inspection Of the New York National
Guard division OF the border and had
found it comfortably sheltered, in excel
lent state OF health and with sick re-
port that was practically negligible.
Regarding the food supply. the general
;aid he had interviewed all commanding
officers. II was the unanimous opinion
that the rations were abundant in guam
tity and excellent in quality. the only
criticism Of the men being due to a mo-
notony resulting from deficiency OF
certain conponents intended TO give an
agreeable variety.
This deficiency, the report explained.
was due to the necessity of heavily is
suing principal components of rations in
order to avoid shortage in food supplies
II added necessities for a proper variety
of food for the border climate were be-
ing supplied rapidly as possible ana
within a few days criticism from this
cause would be entirely obviated.
