 POETESS Her Reflections in Prose and Verse (All Rights Reserved.)
CHAPTER XVI.

Some months ago. Dr. W. T. Horna- day0 perhaps the most distinguished naturalist in the United States, lee tured in Phoenix. and among other things, made a strong plea for the preservation of our native song birds. The following verses are along the same line of eXhortation:
 Spare the Birds A rifle shot in the path ahead,
 You may count the deed as clever; But little biId on the grass lies dead, And his song is stitled forever! Twas a cruel thing, o man, or boy. AnG a doubtful pleasure -bringer, To thus, so wantonly. destroy
 Gods cheery. harmless singer. Do it no more; let the songbirds stay, And swell their music louder; You may find some pests, along your
 way,
 When you itch to be burning powder There are crafty foes of the fiocks and
 herds
 To slay them is wise and rightful But spare the beautiful, singing birds That help make life delightful,
 Having started out by giving a les son in natural history. it is meet to close the chapter with some observa tons upon q familiar denizen of Ari- zona-not so high in public esteem as are the birds Where he is not known he is counted a great curiosity as the deadly enemy of human life, and he cften sells for a good price to illustrate one of Arizona's perils.

year there will be a much larger mem
bership and more boats and launches,

ing of hearty support by all.

EDM0RE IS
OUT OF DEBT

Z The thrifty village Of Edmore locat.
ed in the northeastern part Of this
county is out of debt for the first time
since the town was organized. They
have made many improvements dur
ing the past years and can boast of
more good streets, cement sidewalks
than any other village of its size in
the state, also an up-to-date electric
light plant and many other civic I'M
provements, and yet the finances of
that burg has been handled in such a
way that this spring they paid off the
last indebtedness against the village.
We want to congratulate the good peo-
pie OF Edmore for their financial con-
dition, after the many improvements
they have made

IN INCREASE
IN LIVESTOCK

Grand Forks, May 10.-All over
North Dakota, interest is being shown
in the very material increase in live
stock which North Dakota shows. The
livestock show is beginning to be a
feature of many well developed coun-
ties. The latest is Esmond.
The united Live Stock Breeders As
sociation and the Esmond Commercial
Club are cooperating in move to put
on big show in Esmond on or about
July 18th. From the present indica-
tions the show will be a great success
for the same reason that the associa-
tion members and this vicinity in gen.
.eral are very proud Of their Short
horn stock and the outside world is
very anxious to take look at these
animals, and this has been the first
opportunity afforded.
The men in charge expect to put
these fine Shorthorns in big parade
so everyone can have look at them
and then let the people know Of the
excellent suality, give them taste Of
a prime Shorthorn steer at q big bar
becue.
Several Of the most prominent
speakers in the Northwest have prom
ised to be here for the occasion, and a
good program will be arranged.

TRACK MEET
ON SATURDAY

Entries have been received from
five schools outside of Devils Lake, for
the 3rd annual Track and Field meet
to be held on the Athletic Field next
Saturday. Considerable interest has
been shown by other schools, as ,exi-
denced by the number of men they
have entered. The Ft. Totten Indian
school will enter ten men, the school
for the Deaf, eight men, Larimore
eight men, Cando and Webster five or
six men each and Devils Lake ap-
proximately 10 men. The Indians and
the School TOR the Deaf boys are de-
termined to wrest the honors from
Devils Lake, which has been won the
last two meets. A third victory would
make Devils Lake permanent owner
of the big cup, an event which the
other schools wish to prevent if possi-
BILE. Larimore likewise has designs On
LIST honors this year, and should offer
considerable opposition to the COM
peting teams from the immediate To-
cality. i.q-
In addition to the first place trophy,
the team winning second place will be
given a cup which is to be held for one
year, and becomes the property Of
any team only upon condition that said
team win second place twice in sue
cession. It has been made possible to
award this trophy thru courtesy Of the
Commercial Club which recently voted
sufficient funds to purchase the cup.
The coaches announce that since a
grader and fifteen or twenty husky
boys with shovels and hoes were put
to work on the track Tuesday evening
it is in fine condition, and should per-
nit some fast running by the dash
and distance men. It is confidently
expected that some records previously
made will be broken this year.
The meet will be called promptly at
200 P. M.
Prizes will be given out to all who
can stay over, on the roller rink at
$3.50 in the evening. A program has
been arranged which is to include pre-
sentation of all awards by Supt. Sau-
vain. To those visitors who cannot
stay over, awards will be given at the
close Of the meet.

STROYED AT GLENDALE.

Aberdeen, S. D., May 1o.-Fanned
by 40-mile gale, fire destroyed three
business blocks, including twenty-four
business buildings and sixty residences

paratus and an inadequate water sup
ply hindered efforts to check the blaze
The fire started in an old livery barn.
The flames swept through the main
business and residence section and
then into the country where several
farm buildings were destroyed.
The loss is estimated between $780,
600 and $350,00O, with but $150,O00

CONGRESS MAY 7
LIMIT CAUSES
OF DIVORCE.
FEDERAL AMENDMENT TO CON.
STITUTION URGED BY REPRE-
SENTATIVE VOLSTAD, MINNIE
sofa.

Washington, May 8.-The reputation
by Congress of the causes for divorce
is proposed in a constitutional amend
ment introduced by Representative
Volstead Of Minnesota, ranking Re-
publican member of the house judic-
iary committee.
The amendment follows extended
hearings which have been in progress
before the judiciary committee on a
constitutional amendment proposed BY
Representative Edmunds Of New
York.
May Regulate Marriages.
The latter measure, however, not on
ly provides for Federal limitation on
divorces, but also virtually provides
for Federal regulation of marriages.
Mr.. Volstead has objected to the
form and scope of the Edmunds am
endment because he believes it would
cause infinite trouble and annoyance
to persons desiring to marry, since
they would be obliged to obtain Feder-
al licenses. Furthermore, it would
give Federal instead Of state courts
jurisdiction over marriage and divorce
and revolutionize the present legal
status Of the matrimonial state.
Limit Divorce Causes.
Congress may define and limit the
causes for divorce from the bonds Of
matrimony," says the volstead am
endment, "and the conditions under
which suits for divorce may be brot.
No divorce shall be granted in any
state exceptt under it's laws which
may permit diverse for one or more
causes, subject to the conditions pre-
served by Congress. Divorces grant
ed shall be valid everywhere"
The Volstead provision puts a linn
itation On what may be causes for d.
vorce. Nevada, which, it is said, has
entirely too liberal divorce laws, pre-
sumably would not be able to enforce
her present statutes.

H. S. DAVIES HAS LANDED THE
PLUM AFTER A LONG AND
WEARY STRUGGLE

Report from Washington under date
of May 9Th, states that Hal S. Davies,
who has been editor of the Daily Jour-
nal in this city for some time past, was
confirmed by the seate to be post
master Of this city. This ends a bitter
struggle for this position, and his ap-
pointment was brought about by a
truce between John Burke, J. H.
Bloom, Silver Serumgard and Senator
A. ]. Gronna. Davies has always vot-
ed and registered as Republican, and
thus the old time Democrats of this
city and county, have been forced to
step aside to make place for a Re-
publican, thanks to John Burke and A.
]. Gronna, who seem to be riding in
the same boat at present.

ROOSEVELT

NATIONWIDE CANVASS SHOWS
COLONEL HAS 5 IA TO 1 ON AS.
SOCIATE JUSTICE HUGHES.
STRENGTH LIES IN EAST.
SUPPORT IN WEST STILL VERY
STRONG, BUT BIG GAINS ARE
MADE ON ATLANTIC COAST.

New York, Mqy s.--Theodore Roose-
velt is the overwhelmingly choice for
the Republican presidential nomina-
tion in the Tribune's national primary.
He polled slightly more than S Id
votes for every one cast for Charles
Evans Hughes.
A total of 1884 ballots were re-
turned in time to be counted for the
present summary, $500 being for the
Colonel, 1904 for Justice Hughes, 196
for Elihu Root and the rest being
scattered among twenty-four othe
names, no one getting more than 25
votes.
Roosevelt's Ratio Is 4 to l.
The ratio for Roosevelt against the
field is more than 4 to 1. Henry Ford
got Is votes, William Howard Taft Ii
and President Wilson 10.
A further index of the strength OF
Roosevelt sentiment was shown in 347
additional votes sent otherwise than
in strict accordance with the terms
provided for the contest. Of these 2S6
were for Roosevelt, 33 for Hughes,
for Root and % scattering.
Colonel Gains In East.
Analysis of the vote shows a sig
nifcant shift in the center of gravity
of Roosevelt sentiment. Whereas the
Middle West was far more strongly
for Roosevelt in 1912 than the East
the present figure bring out that, al
though the West is still for him, his
gain of strength is now more marked
in the East, with its exposed coast con.
stituting a constant argument for ade.
quate national preparedness.

WILSON PLANS.
ANOTHER NOTE
TO GERMANY
FUTON REPLY REGARDED AT
CAPITAL AS HAVING LEFT THE
WHOLE STATUS OF v6UBMAR-
INE ISSUE ON AN UNCERTAIN
BASIS.
SO WORDED AS TO MAKE
EXPLANATION NECESSARY
PRESIDENTS ADVISORS SAID TO
BE DIVIDED REGARDING TEN
OR OF PROPOSED DOCUMENT.

Washington, May s.--President Viii
son virtually has decided to write an
other note to Germany.
Through the German reply to the
Presidents ultimatum pledges the inn
perial government to suspend illegal
methods of submarine warfare and
thereby has averted an immediate
break in diplomatic relations, it is re-
Rarded her az having left the whole
stauts of the submarine issue on an
uncertain and unsatisfactory basis.
Explanations Necessary.
In addition, it is explained, the Ger
man note is SO worded as to make elu-
scidation necessary.
What the tenor of the Presidents
next communication to Germany will
be has not yet been decided. It prob
ably will be discussed at Tuesdays
cabinet meeting. The President OFF,
ssial advisors are said to entertain two
distinct views regarding it.
Would Accept Pledge.
One view is that the President
should accept the substance Of Ger
many's pledge at it's face value and ex-
qualification on the part Of the United
States government for the decision
which the imperial government has
reached. ~ s....: ,5 .5sSe. 4 .-.sr. -s I !,
A general statement reiterating the
purpose Of the United States to see
that international law is not violated
by any of the belligerents, SO far as
American rights are concerned, is re-
:garded as sufficient to cover Berlin's
reference to the British blockade.
without Any Condition.
The other view is that the President
should inform Berlin briefly that the
United States has noted Germany's
pledge to suspend illegal submarine
operations, that this government fully
expects this pledge to be carried out,
and that the United States cannot re-
gard Germany's pledge as conditioned
upon the result Of negotiations which
the United States might undertake
with another beligerent.
Presents Vexing Problem.
Just what Germany means by the
'~sprincipal Of visit and search" is not
understood here if the old orders have
been, as Germany declares, in accord
.ance with this principle
It Is probable that the United States
will ask for an explanation on this.
and ask for the old orders so the two
may be compared.
