Save The Birds to
\ Fight the Boil Weeyil

1t is generally admitted that the
best friends the farmers have are
the insect-eating and weed-seed eat
ing birds. Many farmers have real
lied this for some time, but now that
actual invasion by the boil weevil is
about to take place the truth is
brought home to every man that he
must protect these friends of his for
he will soon be in sore need of their
help.
1t is estimated by competent au-
thorities that if quail, doves, meadow
larks and plover could be fully pro-
tected for few years the ravages of
the boil weevil would be greatly re-
duced.
Realizing the seriousness of this
situation, the following petition is be-
ing circulated over the county and
signed by many land owners who wish
to do all they can to reduce the dam
ages that will be done by the entrance
of the boil weevil. The names ap-
pearing in this article have already
been signed in Chesterfield. Petitions
in other parts of the county are to
be heard from and their names will
be printed next week. Anyone wish
ing to enroll as friend of the birds

We wish to call especial attention
to the club of magazines advertised
in connection with our paper. This
is by far the biggest magazine bar
gain that we have ever offered our
readers. And as hint to the wise,
we suggest that you avail yourselves
of it at once, since we have already
been advised by publishers that on
account of the tremendous increase
in the cost of white paper the regular
subscription price of these magazines
will be increased in the near future.
Send in your order now and get a
double bargain.

Death of William Pits

Mr.. William Pitts, spoken of as the
oldest man in Chesterfield county.
died at his home in the Shiloh COM
munity last Sunday night at 8 o'clock.
His body was laid to rest in the
Pitts graveyard Monday afternoon
at a O'Clock in the presence of a
large concourse of friends. The Rev.
>. l.. Tyler conducted the funeral ser
vice.
Mr.. Pitts died in his 9th year and
is survived by his wife and nephew.
Charley.
This man has lived a remarkable
life. Long before his fatal illness
this writer had often heard "Billy"
Pitts spoken of not only as a very
old and very active man but this one
expression has been often repeated
IN speaking of him: 'In his dealings
he was as straight as die" He
always walked with head erect and
shoulders thrown back in a manner
that would shame many a young man
and this erect physical posture was
often likened to his moral character.
1t is said that he died within one
half mile of the place of his birth.
He was a typical Chesterfield county
farmer and loved his county and its
people. He worked, even plowed his
own farm up to few years ago. Up
to the last his mind was clear exccpt
during severe attacks of the malady
that carried him off. All of Chester
field county knew him and his death
is mourned by all who knew him.

Sentiment Strongly Favors Public
improvements; Waterworks Wanted

A well attended meeting of the
Commercial Club of Chesterfield was
held last Monday night in the club
ROOM
The committee appointed to draft
a petition calling for an election on
the subject of bond issue to build
-waterworks and sewerage reported
excellent progress.
1t is believed that public sentiment
overwhelmingly in favor of the
project and plans were discussed for
carrying the enterprise through.
In very short time the names of
73 property owners and voters were
signed to the petition and it is be-
lieved that many more will sign when
given an opportunity to do so. The
names already signed are published in
The Advertiser this week. Others
will be published in the next issue.
An interesting report was given by
Prof. Henderson, who, with Mr.. T. E.
Mulloy, made survey of the town
last week.
Prof. Henderson, now leader of
Chesterfield's young band, has had
considerable experience as hydraul-
ic engineer. Mr.. Mulloy is an ex-
perienced surveyor. AS result of
their survey and Prof. Henderson's
calculations, he reports that the town
of Chesterfield is a comparatively
simple proposition from an engineer
ing point of view.
He estimates that with material
at anything like normal prices, first
class system of waterworks and sew
erage can be put in here for approx
imately $4,000.
1t is believed that the water rents
will pay the running expenses of the
system and in time retire the bonds.
1t is also agreed that the reduced in
surance rates will be considerable.
The club is enthusiastic over the
prospects for this improvement.
Following is the petition and the
names already affixed. Those wish
ing to sign, who have not done so,
will see either Mr.. j. A. Welsh or DR..
d. H. Laney.

GALLANT SERVICE BY
THE IRISH REGIMENTS

Dublin, Ireland. Jan. 2S.-The
Irish people have recently oeeh
aroused by the reports of gallant
service by the Irish regiments. Just
as the Sixteenth Division of the new
army. The Irish Brigade" that raj
lied upon the invitation of Mr.. Red
mond from the Irish National Vol
unteers. north and south, was pre-
paring to go to the trenches, came
stirring accounts of the deeds OF the
Tenth Division around Lake Dorian
in Macedonia. The Tenth Division
was the first purely Irish division to
take part in the war. 1t received It's
baptism of fire at Sulva Bay. and
fresh from the ships was thrown
against the entrenched positions on
the Anafarta ridges. No official ae-
count of its yalor in that desperate
