There is an opening in this town for
an ambitious manager who will pro-
duce a series Of annual satirical must
cal revues. Revues that will poke fun
at matters in general, We mean, and do
it Clearly and cleverly. Mr.. Cohan's re
vues are perfect in their line, but they
concern themselves only with the stage.
I There was a time when Mr.. Ziegfeld's
"Follies" filled the bill, at least partly
but the coming Of Joseph Urban has ev-
identity caused the manager 10 forget
everything except the necessity Of ca
tering TO the eye.
We have been TO every musical pro-
duction Of the year, and not one Of
them has concerned itself even mo-
mentarily with the many sides OF the
varying Mexican situation, with the
countless angles Of our national poll
ties. with any one Of hundred fruitful
and waiting subjects Indeed, satire has
come previously close to vanishing from
/ the stage. What could not a Gilbert do

Tho man who has come closest TO
this ideal during the past year is not
a playwright at all lie is a cowboy,
and his name is VIII Rogers. His
nightly talk at the Midnight Frolic is
never twice the same. and 1t is invaria-
bly, punctuated with bright comment
on the news OF the day. Somebody
who wants a good musical show could
do great deal worse than engage Mr..
Rogers TO write Il. Indeed, many

Learn How Many Birds
Nest and Rear Families
on Average Farm.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 15.-One
hundred and twenty-fOur pairs of
birds nest and raise their families on
the average farm Of 108 acres in the
Northeastern states, according to esti-
bird count conducted by the Biologi-
cal Survey of the S. Department
of Agriculture. In that part of the
plains region east of the Tooth meri-
dian the counts would indicate al
most exactly the same density of bird
population, 1875 pairs of nesting birds
to each 100 acres. In the Southern
states, where the counts were limit
ed to the part Of the farm surround
ing the home, which naturally sup
ports more birds than titled areas,
there seem to be on the farms where
counts were taken 131 pairs of nest
ing birds to- each 100 acres The
counts so far received, however, from
these sections do not furnish suffi-
cient basis for estimating the birds
on the remainder of the farm.
In the Northeastern states it was
estimated that the average bird popu-
lation of each 100 acres of isolated
woodland under observation was 1919
pairs, while the average bird popula-
ton for each 100 acres of the area,
covered was 1875 pairs. The reports
from the 7, 0cky Mountain states
would indicco that the bird popula-
ton is smaller in this section

TO SELL TIRES FOR
AUTOS ALL WINTER


Demand for automobile tires will
be greater this winter than any pre-
vious winter in the history of the
automobile industry, and the sales
are expected to reach the summer
demand" said Mr. o. s. Tweedy, gen.
eral manager of branches of the
United States Tire Co. "This is due
to the fact that closed cars are be-
coming SO popular and winter bodies
are being put on SO many machines,
that but few cars will be actually
stored away in the garages through
out the cold MONTHS
THE time is passed." Mr.. Tweedy
continued when the tire dealers at
the first touch Of freezing weather al
most closed up shop to await the
coming of spring and a subsequent
demand for tires. The tire man no
longer hibernates during the cold
months, but, on the ether hand, con-
t1nues to manufacture, stock up and
sell as If the summer months wealth
er was continuous throughout the
year.
Here is the reason: The average

tween shivering through the winter

total of 225 nesting birds per 100
acres. A similar count made near
Rhinebeck, N. Y, in a 210-acre Sec
ton indicated 81 different kinds rep
resented by 1876 pairs, nearly the same
per acre as shown at Cornell univer-
sity.
The results of the 1915 bird count
just published by the Biological Sur
vey indicate an average of eight pairs
of robins and six pairs of English
sparrows on each farm of 10S acres
where the count was made in the
Northeastern states. The average of
all reports for two years show seven
pairs of robins and IL pairs of
English sparrows for each farm COW

Fl pairs to each 100 acres. Still
farther west in the irrigated district
of western Colorado two reports in
Dictated that irrigated land in orchard
and in fields of grain and root crops
supported bird population of 66
pairs per 100 acres, but on contiguous
nonirrigated land the bird life shrank
to pairs for 100 acres. In Arizona
a 40-acre tract containing only few
houses, and for the most part cover
ed with desert shrubs, showed a bird
population Of SO pairs of 26 species,
of which % were insectivorous. A
semi desert tract of the same size,
covered with brush mostly less than
six feet high, showed 81 pairs of Is
species. In the mountains of Arizona,
near Flagstaff, a tract of 70 acres
covered with yellow pine and Gambel
oak supported bird population of
81 pairs of Is Species.
In California 20 acres Of the cam
pus of the University of California
showed 81 pairs Of % species. A
tract near Gilroy, Cal, containing 80
acres of fruits and about eight acres
of pasture and creek bottom, gave
the unusual figure Of 1877 pairs of "a
species on 38 acres. A similarly
dense, though less varied, bird popu-
lation was found in 52-acre peach
orchard near Port Clinton, Ohio This
showed 1O8 pairs of common farm
birds, SO pairs of purple martins, and
six pairs Of English sparrows, a total
Of $50 pairs Of 20 species.
In the south the counts showed an
average of II pairs Of 20 species and
five pairs Of English sparrows on g.:
acres in Florida; in Louisiana an
average of 95 pairs of 20 species on
So acres; and the counts from Texas
indicate an average of 81 pairs Of
birds of 81 species on so acres. The
average of all counts received from
the Southern states is 76 pairs of
birds of % species on a farm of So
acres.
On the 26 acres on the Cornell
university campus at Ithaca, N. Y, a
very careful study indicated 573

Letter From The Booming Town

Dear Friend Beal: In compliance
with your request l take pleasure in
writing a few lines for this weeks
issue of The Message, knowing it will
be read by not few of my Missouri
friends.
We arrived at Tulsa Saturday for
few days rest at the home of a
brother, E. L. Davault, who was in
the hardware business at Farber rs
years ago, when you and Grant Beal
were publishing The Laddonia Her
aid. He has a grocery store and a
nice home in the suburbs of Tulsa.
want to say that Tulsa is with
out exception the liveliest town
ever saw. 1t has a population of
about $4,000 and is located in the
center of the oil district of the State
About forty millionaires reside here.
The city is building rapidly. Many
elegant new homes are now under
way of obstruction. It is almost i'm
possible to rent a residence, as they
are all spoken for before they are
completed. The commercial bust
ness of Tulsa is astonishing, as re-
fiected by the magnitude of the bank
ing institutions. The Exchange Nat
ional Bank has on deposit the sum of
$l4,497 ,674, considerably more than
the assessed valuation of Audrain
county. The Central National Bank
has on deposit nearly $8,OOO,OOO.
while several other banks have de-
posts In excess of the million mark.
We go from here to Oklahoma City
where we expect to locate. OF course
we shall miss the associations of orr
old home friends, and we never ex-
pect to find better people than those
we left behind. Farber has the
promise of bright future and the
clay industry just starting there will
no doubt put the town on the map
again. ! will certainly rejoice in its
prosperity. Some one will start a ma
per there soon, I am sure. Hone the
Message may get good hold there.
The finest thing l ever heard said
about the Forum was that it was a
clean paper. can say this much of
the Message.
Wish l had time to say more. If
you are ever out this way come and
see us For the present, good bye.
Sincerely yours,

DEMOCRATIC HOSTS.
Great Gathering at The Mexico Court
House Monday Night-Speaker
Clark, Auditor Gordon, Senator
Robinson.

The court house was packed with
voters Monday night to hear
speeches by Speaker Champ Clark,
State Auditor Pohn P. Gordon and

All made great addresses, but we
notice in particular the speech of
Mr.. Gordon, as it concerns us here
closer at home.
He delivered the same address at
Columbia on the same day.
Judge Lamm, Republican nomi-
nee for Governor, said the State is
busted flatter than any fritter, but /
say today we have in the treasury at
Jefferson City $4,763,O66.55 while
four years ago under Gov. Hadley, a
Republican, on the same date there
was in the treasury of the State only
$3,O61,930.41, which shows the
treasury today under Democratic
rule has 1,7O1,136.14 more than
when Hadley was Governor"
The above was one of Mr.. Gordon's
great challenges made at the Mexico
meeting, which caused enthusiastic
applause and whoops and yips.
Mr.. Gordon said the Democratic
administration had been accused by
political enemies of gross extrava-
gance and of footing the school fund.
This is absolutely false" he said,
and the records of the State show
it, When John e. Swanger, Secre-
tary of State; Herbert s. Hadley,
Attorney General; ]. F. Gmelich,
State Treasurer, and w. w. Wilder,
State Auditor, all Republicans, were
in control of the financial offices of
this State they only gave in 1903
to the children of this State $2,976,-

under my administration and when
all of the Offices were under control
