DELEGATES ACRES TO BIRDS
Commodore Benedict Plans "Sanctu-
airy for Feathered Tribe on Con-
necticut Estate.

Greenwich, COMPLAINS for con-
verting his beautiful estate of more
than 100 acres into a model bird
sanctuary" have been made by Com
modore E. C. Benedict, who at the age
of eighty-two attributes his good
health to his love of the great out
doors and it's wild creatures. s4.
The first step in the creation of the
sanctuary will be to drive out the
English sparrows, the "gangsters" of
the bird world, and the hundreds of
crows which have been attracted by
the food to be found on the estate at
low tide.
Nesting boxes will be provided for
such birds as will use them, from the

WARNING ON LAZY HUSBANDS
Charities ORGANIZATION Forcing Habit
uaI Loafers to Work or Serve
Terms on Penal Farm.

: Martinsville, Ind.-The executive
committee of the Associated Charities
is making war on lazy husbands. John
Gourley has been fined SO and sent
to the penal farm for 80 days I'M
der the lazy husband law. Charity
will be given his family while he is
away. Charles Kenworthy, when be-
fore Judge Whitaker, charged with
being lazy husband, was permitted to
go on his pledge to obtain work. He
has left the city. James Padgett,
when charged with failing to support
his family, promised to leave town il
permitted to go. The opportunity was
given him. The charity association
is willing to give assistance to all
families in need of help, but it is not
willing to encourage laziness of hus-
bands.

lonesome. Nellie is coming over to

Nellie arrived with her pleasant
smile and gentle ways. She was the

it. She was unusually vivacious on
the present occasion and Mr.. Wells
noticed it. He attributed it, however,
to her helpful spirit in constantly
striving to direct their attention away
from their sense of loneliness. Nell

Bridgeport, Conn-Made fast to the
dock of the Lake Torpedo Boat COM
pany are two boats brought together
by the caprice Of circumstances, yet

tive contrast. Each represents an era
of American sea l1istory-one that is

ford, over half a century whaler,
whose every yard and plank recall the
romantic days when New England sea-

every sea, when voyages were three

motive power, stands for the past.
The LIS, in its fresh coat of gray
paint. the newest submarine just off
the ways, a man-made whale such as
no tar ever dreamed Of, stands for the
new seamanship.
1t is nearly seventy years ago that
the Morning Star sailed cut of New
Bedford harbor carrying a crew Of 81
on her maiden voyage. It is less than
two years ago that she came in from
her last cruise for whales bringing 500
barrels of oil in her hold. And it was
only the other day that with her can
vas and rigging slowed under her
deck, with bare yards hanging like
reversed muskets, she was towed down
the sound, to be pulled out and over
hauled. In a few weeks stripped and
altered, her days of cruising and ro-
nance over, she will commence to
serve out the balance of her life in
some mental occupation, either as a
tender or freighter.

Culture.

Culture is not a useless thing for
ornament. Culture is service, growth.
Culture of the field means the highest
DEVELOPMENT of life. Without culture
of this kind there can be no success
full agriculture. The lack ST culture
means idleness and waste of the field
as we'll as of the human intellect.
Plant food in the soil becomes avail
able, assimilable, only by culture. Bac~
terial life in the soil becomes most
active and productive under culture.
Culture, properly guided, is vision
realized. Nowhere is there a higher
or more useful culture than in the de-
velopment of plant and animal life.
A trained mind is cultured Et.nd. A
highly productive field is cultured

garden. There is culture in agricul'
ture, and agriculture is culture in a
highly intensified form.-Breeders ffG-

Quarantine and Hog Cholera, Control
Quarantine measures are absolutely
essential for the control of any con
tagious disease. Authorities are com
PEELED to impose quarantine restric
lions against smallpox, diphtheria and
other conditions that endanger the
public health. Likewise the animal
health should be protected against
CHAMBERS, foot and mouth disease, hog
cholera, etc.
Notwithstanding the general knowl-
edge that determines the necessity for
quarantine, experience has shown that
it is seldom popular with those against
whom it becomes necessary to impose
it, and stranger than this is the fact
that oftentimes the sentiment of a
community supports the quarantined
one in his opposition to it and disre-
spect for it.
Until communities support the quar-
antine measures both by sentiment and
cooperative effort, contagious diseas-

There are two kinds of quarantine:
Voluntary and involuntary.
The voluntary quarantine is one
