Appointment of Negro Bishops Up a

prepared two opposing reports for the
next general convention, beginning
October in st. Louis.
The majority report recommends
the establishment of separate racial

WORKING HOURS OF BIRDS.

Our hours are nothing to the birds.
Why, some birds work in the summer
sixteen hours a day. Indefatigably
they clear the crops of insects. The
thrush gets up at half past two every
summer morning. He falls to work at
once, and he never stops until half past
nine at night--a clean nineteen hours.
During that time he feeds his vora-
cious young 2O6 times. The black bird
starts to work at the same hour as
the thrush, but he lays off earlier. His
whistle blows at half past seven, and
during his seventeen hour day he sets
about one hundred meals before his
kiddies. The titmouse is up and about
at three in the morning, and his stop
ping time is nine at night. A fast
worker, the titmouse is said to feed
his young AIT meals-meals Of CATER

! am sportsman myself, but times
have changed, and we must change
also. When game was plentiful, be-
lieved that it was right for men and
boys to kill any amount for sport and
for the table. But the old basis has
been swept away by an army of de-
struction that is now almost beyond
control. We must awaken and arouse
to the new situation, face it like men,
and adjust our minds to the new con-
ditions. These three millions of gun
ners of today must no longer expect
or demand the same generous hunting
privileges that were right for hunters
twenty-five years ago, when game was
fifty times as plentiful as it is now
and there was only one killer for every
fifty now in the field.

To Develop Business That Is NOV

some OF the local men Of Black
foot have adopted plan for gather
ing together the loose ends OF trade
and combining them into q two days
trading and auction period. The
plan is not altogether new and mas
been tried out enough in other places
to prove it's merits.
Two days in every month are 10
be devoted to trading AMI selling,
and thruout the month an office Will
be kept open for listing the property
that is to be ON sale at the next
trading and auction day. This list
will be advertised by the manage
ment SO the public can see what IS
to be on sale that each reader may
wish. 1t will be divided into two
classes: traders day the second
Monday OF each month, when all
kinds OF goods and chattels will be
on sale; and auction day. devoted to
1.-THE sale of livestock.
Anybody having animals for sale
can arrange to dispose Of them at
these sales at little expense and buy
ers in other states and markets. re-
ceiving the list Of what is to be no
sale at Blackfoot, Idaho, can deter
mine whether or not it is worth while
to attend, The more stock there Is
listed, the more chance there will DC
to attract buyers from the best mar
kets. The more goods there are list
ed, the more people will have ar
interest in attending the sale and the
better will be the bidding and gen
