things. ..

Watches the Birds.

Mul oiCNooLt AtESo WIS
West Point, Neb. Blue Side.
Near an elm tree by our house
many birds have come to build their
nests. My brother and have put up
many houses and cans for the birds,
numbering about ten.
One day while sitting in the swing
Ct was in that tree) ! noticed wren
fluttering about looking for place
to build nest. The house and cans
being all occupied l put up a can for
the wren. The next day ] noticed
that the wrens were carrying straw
and sticks with which to build their
home. It took the birds some time
to finish the nest.
One morning while waking up !
heard Mr.. Wren singing very sweetly
and cheerfully. After breakfast l
went to the can and found four eggs
which Mrs. Wren had laid. This is
why he was singing SO sweetly.
In week or so four little wrens
were in the can, with, open, hungry
mouths. They were soon filled with
the insects and worms which Mr.
Wren brought them.
These baby wrens soon grew very
large and now sing every day in the
tree. We hear nice singing from the
wrens as thanks for putting up can
for them to make a home.

Love of Ease.

What is there about s'love of ease
that makes the strenuous one SO
wroth? Love of ease is universal
human trait, and has been so from
the beginning of time. 1t is the in
centive even of war. Barbarian
tribes and nations fight for slaves.
and even the civilized city-States, OF
ancient Greece made war in order to
reduce their captive enemies to bond
age and compel them to work, so that
the conquerors might enjoy lives of
leisure. Love of ease is the main
spring of nearly all human activities
Men labor to obtain comforts and
luxuries. If the hope of enjoying the
fruits of ones work were gone no
man would labor except under COM
pulsion of law of necessity. He who
vociferates against love of ease as
sails all mankind, including him.

HOOKS FAMOUS HOAX.
Hnmorist's Joke Blocked Traffic In
London Street.

The amusing hoax of Abergavenny
reminds a correspondent of one or
two historic leg-pullings in the same
line. One was the great Berners
street hoax, engineered by Theodore
Hook, and which was so successful
that it's originator had to clear out
of the country for a while.
He sent out from a certain ad-
dress thousands of orders, invita-
tions. etc., all to eventuate at the
same place and hour. The result
WAS that at the time in question the
street and the thoroughfares leading
to it we're choked with traffic, there
was a species of riots, and after the
q fun" had cleared away the debris
made the place look like battle
field.
An earlier hoax was also perpe-
trated in London, viz, that on a GER
tain night at a house entertainment
an Italian conjur or, Signor Capitol
10 Jumpedo, would perform certain
miraculous feats, winding up by
climbing into a quart bottle. A huge
crowd assembled, and when they
found they had been ''had' they set
to work and wrecked the place.

BANBERG is HEALTHY.
ONLY Seven Counties in State With
Lower Death Rate.

A popular idea in some parts of
the State that Bamberg and other
lower South Carolina counties are
unhealthy has been exploded by the
report of the State bureau of vital
statistics for the first six months of
1916. The death rate in Bamberg
county for the six months ending
June 3Oth, 1915, was Ill, the aver
age rate in the entire State being
1875. Only seven counties in the
State show a lower death rate than
Bamberg, as follows:
Aiken, 1O.S; Barnwell, TT; Chero-
kee, 1919; Colleton, 9.6; Edgefeld,
81; Fairfield, 90; Saluda, S.9.
Laurens county, with a rate of Ill,
is the same as Bamberg.
The number of deaths in the coun-
ty for the period named was 107;
the number Of births 269, the birth
rate being among the highest, 27.S.
Sixteen counties show higher birth
rate than Bamberg, 27 counties show
ing a lower rate.
The following table shows the
number of deaths in each county in
the State from January 1 to July 1,

The mail order houses may sell
some things for a little less, but we
most seriously doubt that the buyer
really saves anything by patronizing
these foreign industries. In a major
ity of instances, the buyer can get
what he wants at home for the same
price.
Outside of the question of gooa
buying is the consideration that we
ought to spend our money at home
because the money which we spend

from our farmers; they pay no taxes
to help us with our burdens; they
don't put a penny back into local
circulation. On the other hand, when
you buy from a local merchant, you
do not need to be told that most of
the money he gets from you will be
put back into local circulation.
Buy at home and build up your
community. If the community is up
builded you are directly benefited.
Our advice to people who get mail
order catalogues is to give them to

Help yourself by helping the home

sonal relationship with him that will
be advantageous to you when you

Clean Hands.

Disease germs lead a hand TO
mouth existence. If the human race
would learn to keep the unWashed
hand away from the mouth many
human diseases would be greatly
diminished. We handle infectious
matter more or less constantly and
we continually carry the hands TO
the mouth. If the hand has recently
been in contact with infectious mat
ter the germs of disease may in this
way be introduced into the body.
MANY persons wet their fingers with
saliva before counting money, turn
ing the pages of book, or perform
ing similar acts. In this case the
process is reversed, the infection be-
ing carried to the object handled,
there to await carriage to the mouth
of some other careless person. In
view of these facts the United States
public health service has formulated
the following simple rules of person
al hygiene and recommends their
adoption by every person in the Unit
ed States:
Wash the hands Immediately
Before eating,
Before handling, preparing or serV-
ing food,
After using the toilet,
After attending the sick, and
After handling anything dirty.

The object of this story is to call
to the, attention of the Georgia 1egis-
lature the fact that they could by le-
gal enactment do away with railroad
gradings all over Georgia. Each year
the toll of human life grows larger
and larger. A few years ago when
the senate was in session message
was flashed to the president of the
senate that one most dear to him had
gone. Her car in crossing a railroad
track was struck by a train.
The writer some years ago out
lined a plan that would be fair both
to the railroads and the counties
through which they pass, in looking
to the elimination of railroad grade
crossings, that is, for underpass or
overhead bridges, the railroads to
furnish the material of construction
and the counties with their convicts
to do the work. This seems equita-
BILE and fair to both parties. The
State let this condition remain when
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1916-08-17

it could be remedied in short order
and all grade crossings gradually
done away with.
To the men and women who drive
automobiles this appeal also is made.
If not for your own sake, for God s
sake think of the locomotive engineer
and the lives under him, and when
you feel tempted to race with a train,
and make a crossing ahead of it, l re-
peat, for Gods sake don't do it.-N.
