It is easy to write about the injuri-
GUS hawks of this country because
there are so few of them. Most of
our birds of prey, the hawks and the
owls, do more good than harm. There
are only a scant half dozen or so into
whom nature has implanted the desire
for evil deeds. Nature is supposed to
do everything, or at any rate almost
everything well and so it may be that
IL we kill the bold buccaneer birds who
do a bit of thieving now and then, we
may rue it one day for some reason
not yet disclosed to the human mind.
The scientists tell US that perhaps
the two most injurious hawks in Amer
ica are the sharp-shinned and the coop
er hawks. These two birds do a large
part of the thieving which the farm
ers of the country lay at the door of
the soaring hawk the red-tailed, the
red-shouldered, and some others.
The sharp-shinned gentleman, called
Accipiter velox, by the ornitholo-
gists, is, as somebody has put it, "a
brute of bird" Vernon Bailey of
the biological survey Of the depart
ment of agriculture has written thus
about this bird of more than question
able life:
Among the hawks, the sharp
Skinned is n veritable bushwhacker.
His light body, short wings, and long
tail enable him to double and turn
among the brush and branches, and in
a noiseless, foxlike way, pounce over a
hedgerow or brush heap into the midst
of flock of sparrows, swOop under
low branches and pick his bird
from the ground, or dart through the
treetops and snatch one in midair from
ne midst Of a startled flock. His
small size is 80 much more than COM
pensated by his audaclty that one bird
often becomes the terror of the poul-
try yard, taking the small and half
grown chickens regularly and some
times killing and eating fulIgrown

One Bird at a Time.

Some people start life by trying
to kill two birds with one stone
and go down to their graves with
out having bagged either one. 1t
is fatal mistake that is often
made.
There are two ways that are
commonly used to accomplish this.
The one is to do one thing at a
time and do it we'll The one who
does this advances steadily, if at
times slowly, but in the end he
attains the goal he seeks. Pa
tience and energy and faithfulness
are rewarded by success. The
other impatient and wants to go
forward by leaps and bounds. He
wants to kill two birds with one
stone. Sometimes he wants to bag
q dozen at one throw. AS result
his objects are confused, his aim is
too quick and careless, and he
scores more misses than hits.
This is unsatisfactory to the
employer, and in time such man
generally finds himself looking for
another job. The wise employer
is an excellent judge of men 1t
is part of his business to be such,
and it is because of his ability to
gauge the capacity OF his men
that succeed in life.
He wants no drones and the two
bird man does not appeal to him.
He wants faithfulness, efficiency
and steadiness, and that can only
be secured by selecting the nan
who does one thing at time and
does it wsll. 1t is a lesson every
Young man should learn on the
threshold of life.-Exchange.

And I eat bananas raw,

Seven hills and howl,
But she cannot
Sit on me!
Will she please put that
In her organ and grind it?

And I was born without teeth,
But I've got talons,
That reach from the storm
Beaten coasts of the Atlantic
TO the golden shores of the
Placid Pacific.
And I use the Rockey Mountains
AS whetstones to sharpen them on.
I never cackle till
Lay an egg;
And I point with pride
To the eggs I've laid
In the last hundred years or so.
I'm game from
The point of my beak
To the Star-spangled tip
OF my tail feathers,
And when begin
To scratch the gravel,
Mind your eyes!
I'm the cock of the walk,
And the henbird of the

The only gallinaceous

TO PRACTICE
LAW IN THE COURTS

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 22.-It was
the happiest day OF her life for
Mrs. Minnie Anderson Hale, of
this city, when she received her Ii
cense yesterday to practice law
in the courts Of Georgia. The
agitation started by Mrs. Hale
was responsible for the passage
of the bill by the legislature, at
its recent session, allowing wo-
men to be admitted to the bar,
and she was the first to receive
license in the state, following
Governor Harris approval of the
bill.
Mrs. Hale graduated some years
ago from an Atlanta law school,
passed her examination for ad-
mission to the bar, and was de-
MED a license because the law
made no provision for the admis-
sion OF women to practice. She
appealed from the decision of the
Fulton superior court to the state
supreme court, and that court
sustained the lower court in de-
nying her license. Then was
launched the agitation which re-
suited in the passage of the bill.
Three other women were adj
n1itted to the bar at the same
time Mrs. Hale was granted her
license, the others being Mrs.
Clara B. Bevard, who was admit
ted by comfy from Florida,
where she has previously prac-
ticed and Mrs. Beatrice Castle
ton and Miss Agnes E. Klein,
two gradutes of the same school
where Mrs. Hale secured her di-
plOma some years ago.

TAX LIMIT
FIXED AT FIVE MILLS

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 22.-Comp-
troller General Wright today
computed the 1916 tax rate off
cially at the full limit of 5 mills,
ad valorem levy for the year.
This, it is stated, results from
heavy appropriations made last
November and added to by the
last legislature on account of the
heavy appropriations and loss OF
certain revenue, there will be a
deficiency of not less than $780,
600 after the limit is levied.
With every county in the state
save two, Dougherty and Floyd,
heard from, the total tax valua-
ton in the state is practically the
same as in 1915, with an enor-
nous increase in appropriations.
At the extraordinary session
SZOo,OOO was appropriated in ex-
cess of the revenue and to this the
last session added over 100000.
Including the corporation re-
turns of $152,623,510, which are
81 ,3O4,930 in excess of last year.
and an additional $45,OOO,OO0 ex-
pected from the ten counties or
dered by State Tax Commission
.er John c. Hart to increase the
returns to confirm the state acre
age, the total tax valuation for
Georgia for 1916 amounts to
$957,132,51O. This one item of
SIS, 100000 expected from these
ten counties will bring in an in
creased revenue of So, 800.

HAVE YOU YOUR S39.23?

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 23.-Look in

much money there? You ought
to have more than you ever had
before. Why? Because there is
more money in circulation in the
United States at the present time
than there ever was before, and
if you haven't got your share it
may be your own fault.
For the first time in history, ac-
cording to bankers, the circula-

the United States. This is ninety

culation last month and four hun

more than was in circulation this

OF this sum your per capita

London, Aug. 23.-Both allied

tons are in battle, have been bent

Nothing is said about the Rus

Serbians apparently have been
the heaviest losers and have been
forced back on their extreme left
about five miles from the Serbian

On the allied right the British
