City Bird Clubs.

II has taken more than twenty years
of steady work by the National Audu-
bon society to demonstrate the eco.
nomic value of birds to agriculture,
and the result is in our state laws
protecting song birds and the federal
laws protecting the migratory game
birds. Incidentally, bird sanctuaries
have been established in several
places, remarks the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. Henry Ford's near Detroit,
and Avery island on the Gulf coast,
given by Mrs. Russell Sage, are note
worthy. Several state preserves have
been set aside for the game protec-
ton. The bird club movement strives
to save the birds, with objects both
economic and esthetic. Bird club or
CARNATIONS have taken firm hold in
several Of our large cities, and have
brought about increased attractive
ness to parks and residential sections
retaining the wild native birds. The
methods include planting trees and
shrubs suitable for nesting places and
bearing acceptable fruit for food, and
the provision Of drinking fountains for
bird use. The methods have proved
successful-and does anything add
more charm to outdoors in city than
bird songs?

tAfter receiving letter promising

Dear Sir: ! got your little note,
But II you want to keep my vote
Don't send the seeds you mention

But drop them in the empty air.
Last year you sent me quite pack,
And, trusting fool, broke my back

Protected them from crow and bear,
And plowed between the long, straight

Tobacco came where beans should be.
Now, as / never smoke. you see,
The crop was not welcome one;
Tobacco worms had lots of fun.

And rhubarb raised its horrid head

And on them crept some sweet pota-

But kindly wipe me off your slate,
Or you won't be my candidate.

Hamlet Only Told the Truth.

Tell people the truth and break So
cial conventions as Hamlet did, and
they will think you crazy" DR.. John
Duncan Spaeth, professor Of English
literature in Princeton university, said
recently in lecture on Shakespeare
and the Democratic Spirit" ~
Hamlet was perfectly sane" Doc
tor Spaeth added, but when he told
the truth to foolish people they
thought him crazy. He called Polo
MUS a fool, and the latter at once
tapped his head ana was quite con-
WINGED Hamlet had gone mad. Hamlet
did the same thing with many others
who figured in his life. With the ex.
ceptfon of his mother and Horatio,
all other characters in the play, when
told the plain, unvarnished truth,
thought him insane"

THEIR WIVES MAKE TROUBLE
on'eials. Worried BY Canadians Who
Want to See Husbands---They
Reduce Efficiency.

Mainly on the ground that their pres
ence tends to hamper efficiency in the
Canadian forces in England and
France, the agents-general in London
OF the provinces of Canada, assembled
in conference and passed a resolution
calling upon the provincial govern
ments to take prompt steps to discour-
age officers and soldiers wives from
going to London until the end Of the
war.
There are more than three thou.
sand wives Of officers and men of the
Canadian forces now in the United
Kingdom" one agent-general said, ad.
dressing the conference, "and under
stand this number is to be increased
! during the next two or three months
at a rate Of upwards of one thousand
q week.
Immediately they arrive they com.
municate with their husbands, who
perhaps have only Just returned from
the trenches, urging them to get q
further few days leave. In the ma,
1ority OF cases this is, of course, i'm.
possible. owing to the military exigen.
cfes. But in spite Of that they persist
demanding the Intervention of the
agent-general and the high commits
sioner. and when they find they are
helpless in the matter these good
women take things into their OWL
hands and write the military authori
ties. In not a few cases they have
communicated with the commanding
officer direct, without the knowledge
Of the husband, to whom such behav
Tor causes some anxiety.
1T is far better for the wives t.

POLITICS AND IN
OTHER THINGS
WAKING WARM
Hon. T. w. Peterson OF Hyrum Makes
Statement On Question Asltatine
Certain Local Minds

Hon. T. w. Peterson of Hyrum,
was in Logan on Saturday and took
occasion to discuss local politics as
he sees it and as he maintains the
voters of Cache county will look at
the question when II comes to nam
ing delegates to the state and con-
gressional convention when they
meet in primaries on Tuesday night,
August ].
Mr.. Peterson says there seems to
be a personal fight on between the
County Chairman II. A. Petersen,
Judge of the juvenile court and the
interests of Congressman Howell.
This he says is no scrap Of the vot-
ers. They will not tolerate such u
condition. 81 do not know II Mr.. How
ell is waging campaign against
Chairman Peterson said the astute
politician from Hyrum, but do
know that the Petersen interests are
working against Mr. Howell. II
seems that II they were at all wise
they would not do this as the same
arguments which are being used that
Mr.. Howell has been in Congress too
long, can be urged against Chairman
Petersen who has held public Office
for the past fourteen years.
ITO settle all this harangue AND
to harmonic the various interests,
know that there is large percentage
of the voters of this county who
would like to see new man lead out
for a position on the state ticket.
Il am personally opposed to pledg
ing delegates to any certain candi
date and the men who are doing that
are very unwise. This idea Of grab
bling delegations and trading delega
lions is un-American. For one,
think that the Cache county delega
ton should go to the Ogden conven
ton unpledged."

London, July 22.-That horror OF

abated in the British army by set

Their success Is largely due to eX'

hitherto unheard OF in medical SCI

These American surgeons have
proven that Napoleon's adage that an
army travels on its stomach is old
fashioned.
An army travels on its teeth.
Without good molars the best
