WHEN BIRDS MIGRATE.
Yearly Flight Of the Whsatesr From
Africa to Greenland.

fiSe 70 Sf0SHtoUos
In flying from Europe to Africs
birds cross the Mediterranean sea al
a point where the water is so shallow
that 1t is believed the two continents
were formerly connected there. The
land bridge. which 1t is thought for
merly guided the birds In their night
has disappeared. but the habit of cross.

mains.
How do you suppose the little wheat.
ear, no larger than bluebird, formed
the habit Of migrating from Europe TO
Greenland? Probably he comes by
way Of England and Iceland, but at
the best 1t is long journey and seems
to take the bird much farther than Il
is necessary to go. In the autumn he
goes back to winter In Africa.
Doubtless some European water birds
visit us every year. but the wheatear,
so far as know, is the only land bird
which migrates regularly between
North America and Africa. With this
exception. no North American land
birds leave the western hemisphere in
their nigrations.
The birds of the western United
States are not such great travellers a.

the higher parts Of the Rocky moan.
tians or Sierras, where they nest, to
the low, warm valleys in which they
winter.
Those that leave the United States
go into Mexico. Some continue their
journey as far south as Guatemala,
but few go farther south than that.
They can, therefore, make their jour.
ney overland and so do not encounter
the dangers to which many Of our east
ern migrants are exposed.-Frank n

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1916-07-15

The citizens of Barre have Just voted
$780, 800 bonds for public improvements.
The Times of that city refers to the
meeting at which these bonds were voted
as being largely attended" The high
est vote cast was 1893. This is Just
about one-fourth of Barre's last vote on
president, ESQ. Comparatively, it is a
large city meeting where one citizen out
of four attends, but it is a serious refec-
ton upon the lack of interest shown by
people in the financial affairs of their
community that they will absent them
selves from meetings at which important
transactions are considered. Rutland
News.
Why, bless you, neighbor; the attend
ance at the city meeting referred to was
so much greater than we had been ac-
customed to that we were beginning to
think that Barre citizens did pretty well
on hot summer night. We have had
city meetings when only a few of the
so-called bakers dozens were present;
and some rather important actions were
taken, too. II is next to impossible to
get out a major fraction of the voting
strength of the municipality unless the
vote is taken at a regular city election,
duly warned; and Barre is no different
in that respect than the average commu-
nifty. We are still inclined TO think that
an outpouring Of 1913 voters on hot
summer night was rather good although
we agree that it might have been better.

itinerary. In the second place, the ca
was driven at rapid rate down steer
hill, at the base OF which was a SHARP
curve and bridge only a few feet be
yond the curve The combination Of
speed, the curve and the bridge was toe
much for the most experienced driver
and the result was that the machine
struck the bridge with sufficient force tc
move the end of the bridge slightly from
its foundation, while the occupants OF
the car were hurled about in various di-
rections with more or less serious injur-
les resulting to most of the party. The
machine, of course, was considerably
damaged.
The moral of the affair is that while
it is never absolutely safe to speed car
on crooked roads even though the driver
is thoroughly acquainted with the lay OF
the land, it is absolutely foolhardy for q
person to attempt to drive rapidly over
an unfamiliar road unless the whole road
is at all times visible for a long distance.
The stranger never can tell just what to
expect, either a sharp curve, high en-
bankment soft roadbed, or some vehicle
Or pedestrian. Proper caution dictates a
normal speed in which the driver is ca
pabe at moments warning to bring
his car to a halt. Our New England
highways would be much safer were this
plan to be followed.

for American munitions must mean that

their own needs. Surely they are firing

Northwestern National Life News

This company made large gains in all lines in 1915. New
business thus far in 1916 shows a gain of at least so per cent
over the same period of 1915. Death losses in 1915 were less
than for any year of the past ten, while the amount of dfvi-
dends apportoned to be paid to polcyholders was increased
27 per cent over the previous year. No changes were made
in the directorate o official staff of the company.
The company operates in eighteen western states only,
having voluntarily confined its field of operation to the health
lest and most productive and progressive section of the United
States. Northwestern National Life was the first company to
pay its share of the loss sustained by the death of Thomas
ShevHn. Its check for 100000 was delivered to the Shevlin
Company Beneficiary on the day of the funeral.
1t now has in force in South Dakota over 50, 500, 900 of
Insurance., and a large amount of this is carried by people of
Madison and Lake County. New business written in the State
in 1915 amounted to a little more than 100000
Above are some of the REASONS WHY you should place

MUST STAND TRIAL
WILLIAM SANDMAN, CHARGED
WITH STEALING WHEAT, Is
BOUND OVER.

Accused of stealing forty-two bush
els of wheat from a ear in the Mil
waukee railway yards here about two
months ago, William Sandman was
arraigned this morning before Justice
of the Peace +. l.. Soper, and was
bound owe to stand trial at the next
term of the district court.
1t is charged by the state that
Sandman stole a wagonload of grain
at night and sold 1t a day or SO later
to the Madison Mill 4 Grain com
pany. An officer who worked on the
case, reported that he had traced a
tiny stream of wheat from the car on
the track to a barn near the outskirts
of the city. The grain company later
on reported that Sandman had sold
it wheat. A warrant was issued for
the mans arrest, but Sandman could
not be found. He was arrested last
week in Aberdeen, and was returned
to Madison yesterday by Sheriff F.
w. Butts. AT his hearing this norm
ing, he waived preliminary examina-
ton.

LAKE COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
ASSOCIATION MAY JOIN
SECRETARY TO LEAVE
TOMORROW.

To attend a meeting which is ex-
pected to result in the organization
of the county fair associations of
South Dakota into a state body, A. G..
Schmidt, secretary Of the Lake Coun-
ty Agricultural society, will depart
tomorrow morning for Huron. The
state fair board is cooperating in the
organizing of the statewide associa-
ton, and the call for the officers of
the various county associations to
take the matter up Thursday has
been sent out by G. N. McIlvaine,
secretary of the South Dakota Fair
board.
The Lake County Agricultural as
ISOLATION is now a member of the
Northwestern Iowa Fair circuit. 1t
is the belief of the organizers of the
proposed South Dakota society hat
the organizing of the county fair as
sociations of the state would result
in the better arranging of fair dates.

MARKET DAY
CURRENT ISSUES ARE DISCUSSED
AT MONTHLY MEETING OF
MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.

Among the matters taken up at a
we'll attended monthly meeting last
night of the Madison Merchants as
ISOLATION was the question of estab-
fishing a monthly market day. A
committee was appointed to report on
the feasibility Of setting apart a day
each month, when the farmers, with
their produce, could meet the buying
public. 1t is said that there are in
the city a couple of places available
for carrying on the produce sales.
Upon complaint that the city dis
posal plant is in poor working order
much of the time, a committee was
appointed to meet with the city COM
missioners, with a view to arranging
for better supervision of the disposal
plant. 1t is said that a misereant or
miscreants have been regularly tam
pering with a valve, with the result
that a pipe is as frequently clogged
up, creating an unnecessary stencil.
The city commissioners will be petit
toned to arrange for a more uniform
overseeing of the plant.
The question of band music for
next summer was taken up, and the
members of the association went on
record as being in favor of the Gre
alton of a city band.
The association decided to move

Statement of w. H. crocker.

William H. Crocker. the national
republican committeeman from Call
fornia and leader of the regular repub-
licans, had this to say about Mr.
Rowe1l:
TN advance of the candidates arrival
in California I asked Mr.. Rowell. for
whom / entertained the highest regard
to join with me in suppressing our dlf-
ferences and unite in the reception TO
be given the candidate. He made as a
condition the absolute recognition OF
Gov johnson. We could not do that.
Neither was it possible TO make
any 'fifty-ffty agreement with the
progressives. because our plans had
been practically completed.
I'VE have not ignored the progress
sives. We have invited their partici-
patton and have sought in every way
to have them cooperate with US. But
we could not recognize johnson.
THE demands OF RoweH have been
unreasonable, but the 1aving grace of
the sitoation is that he represents only
a small portion OF the progressives.
The bulk of the progresstves are for
Hughes and will vote for him"
This is but one angle of the dread
full political muddle in this state. In
subsequent dispatches the broad polit-
ical lineup on issues will be explained.

Counting on Independents.

Counting on Independents.
The democrats are counting strongly
upon the independent vote. too. Sena-
tor Pomerene of Ohio is among those
who looks to heavy democratic gains
from Independent voters. Speaking at
the White House today of the outlook
in his own state, he said: Independent
voters in Ohio are lining up with the
President. They, like the farmer and
the small business man, are content
with present conditions. They do not
want to experiment by change in the
White House. All this will count in
the November vote"
Democratic leaders who go to the
White House declare that the repub-
licans are not going to be able to find
an issue that will hurt the party. The
ming to lay more stress on the tariff
and alleged democratic incompetency
in handling this and business affairs.
but the democrats assert that they are
willing to meet the republicans on
this ground, further expressing the be-
lief that the country knows that no.
body can tell what sort of a tariff
will best suit when the adjustment
comes after the European war.
Democrats at first feared that Mr..
Hughes would be able to hurt them on
the Mexican problem, but reports from
the west and other directions causes
them to believe that the President s
handling of Mexico has done as much
to strengthen him with the country as
anything in his administration.

Chart of "war Zone" Prepared.

In the office of Admiral Benson, chief
of operations, great chart of the war
game zone was prepared. and as reports
came from Admiral Helm. or from any
other source, showing the position Of
the ships, navigators laid off the posi-
tions. The department itself was in the
game. Any information as to the where
abouts of the red fleet which may come
from commercial vessels to any point
along the shore will be promptly for
warded to Admiral Helm. A strict CEN
sorship will be exercised over reports
from the blue fleet. however, as Admiral
Mayo has been authorized to ask pass
ing ships for newspapers or any other
information they may have as to the
dispositions of the blue forces.
For this reason it is proposed not to
make public the reports of constructive
disasters Admiral Blue will send back
from time to time in order to test out
the organization of the Navy Depart
ment's various bureaus and at the navy
yards.
Far at sea, Admiral Knight is receiv-
ing reports from both commanders and
plotting the game on chart. 1t is Ad-
miral Mayo's object either to decoy the
blue fleet out of his way, while his
transports slip by to land the invading
army, or to draw on an engagement
with such units of Admiral Helms COM
mand will insure the crippling of
the defending forces. Admiral Knight
will determine the outcome.
