Length, about eight and one-half
inches. Only woodpecker having top
of head from base of bill red, com
bined with a black patch on breast.
Range: Breeds in northern half of
the United States and southern half of
Canada; winters in most of the states
and south to Costa RIGA.
Habits and economic status: The
yellow-bellied s%apsucker is rather 81
lent and suspicious and generally a
ages to have a tree between himself
and the observer. Hence the bird is
much better known by its work than
its appearance. The regular girdles
of holes made by this bird are com
mon on a great variety of trees; in all
about $50 kinds are known to be at
tackled. Occasionally young trees are
killed outright, but more loss Is caused
by stains and other blemishes in the
wood which result from sapsucker
p%unctures. These blemishes, which are
known as bird pecks, are especially
yellow poplar. Defects due to sap
sucker work cause an annual loss to
the lumber industry estimated at ST.
250,0 00. The food of the yellow-bel-
lied sapsucker is about half animal
and half vegetable. It's fondness for
ants counts slightly in its favor. 1t
eats also wasps, beetles (%including,
however, very few wondering spe-
cies), bugs, and spiders. The two
principal components of the vegetable
food are wild fruits of no importance
and cambium (the layer just beneath
the bark of ~trees). In securing the
cambium the bird does the damage
above described. The yellow-bellied
sapsucker, unlike other woodpeckers,
thus does comparatively little good
and much harm.

CONVICT LEFT A NOTE.

Wills His Skin to Cover Wife's Bible
as He Escapes.
George e. Thompson, who escaped
from the Camden On. j. Jail with VIII
sol Ashbridge, after they had shot and
killed Keeper Isaac Hibbs and wound
ed Jailer Ellis. left In his cell the fol-
lowing letter:
To Whom 1t May Concerns:
Ashbridge has come to the conclusion
that he doesn't want to stay here any
longer, and, as I don't much care for the
place myself, I have decided to go with
him.
Now, I understand that in leaving this
place in this manner l am flirting with
the undertaken" So 1 leave this note be-
hind in case such is the case.
In the event of my being killed I make
the following request: That my body be
turned over to the University of Penn
syivania for dissecting purposes, with this
stipulation-that a piece of skin be re-
moved and tanned, of sufficient size to
cover a small copy of the New Testament.
Have same made up and presented to my
lawyer, who will have instructions to
present 1t to my wife, who, although a
Manchu by birth and a Buddhist, is in
terested In the New Testament. Also my
ring and pin shall be turned over to the
same attorney to be presented to my wife.

use. Narrow tatting edgings are used
in finishing hand-embroidered blouses
and for lingerie or for anything else
that calls for lace as a decoration.
Yokes for corset covers and night
dresses are important now. Thin
blouses merely veil the underbodice
and make opportunity for the display
of handwork In the place of machine
made laces on 1t. Some exquisite Jokes
of tatting and others of crochet lace
need only to be set on to a piece of
linen lawn to furnish forth an under
bodice greatly to be desired. The pat
terms are always varying and each
needlewoman may work out her own
fancies in the work of her own fingers.
A yoke of crochet is shown In the
picture, set on to a body of crossbar
muslin and strung with washable rib
bon. It is a type of this kind of lace
and will suggest other patterns, put to
the same use, to those who are famil-
lar with the work.

PAPERS GOING UP.
Cost of Print Paper Too High, Secre-
tary RedfieId Says.

"The n cent newspaper will be a
thing of the past within a short time"
predicted Secretary of Commerce Will
lam C. Redfield. prices have in
creased all along the line on nearly all
commodities, and within the last few
months there has been a steady in
crease In the price of the materials en-
tering into the making of news print
paper and an increased demand.
"The indications are that early this
fall when new contracts are made, or
before, there will be further increases
in news print paper prices, and pub
fishers will be unable to get out one
cent papers without a loss, and an in
crease in price will be imperative.
From information which has reached
me, l am of the opinion that advertis-
ing rates will have to be increased also,
as it appears that the increased cost of
paper cannot be made up alone by the
increase in the price of the newspaper"

CHEAPER CHECK COLLECTIONS.
Concluded from page 81

engagements.
"This new collection system is only
one of many benefits which the opera
ton of the Federal reserve system
will bring to the business interests of
the country and which will inevitably
result in better and more scientific
banking methods. The country has al
ready benefited through the freedom
from currency panics which the Fed
eral Reserve Act has insured, and the
greater stability in the supply and
cost of credit which the system is
bringing about.
"In order to bring about this need
ed reform, the national banks and then
state banks which are cooperating
with the Federal reserve system, are
called upon to forego the income from
Exchange" charges which they have
been receiving for renting for
checks drawn upon themselves. This
will result in a general revision of
the relations between the banks and
that class of depositors whose ac-
counts have been carried at an actual
loss to the bank. Those depositors
will undoubtedly be asked either to
keep their balances sufficiently large
to compensate the bank for the SER
vices rendered, or to pay the bank a
reasonable, though nominal, sum for
such services, so that the bank will
not be required to perform any SER
vice at a loss. Many bank depositors
probably fail to realize the items of
cost in banking. For instance, every
check passing through the average
size bank costs from two to three
cents to handle, and this is typical of
similar small items of expense which
have entailed some loss, the aggre-
gate of which is quite large.
"The various changes made neces-
sary in the banks in the development
of this banking system which is pro-
ducing results so advantageous to the
country, have entailed upon the mem
Der banks some losses of revenue and
the business community should prop
erly be expected to share the cost of
the evolution of the system"

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable dealer that it
will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trif1ing.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
n ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee Of
money back if it fails to remove free
kles.

COOPER'S HAWK
Accipter cooperD

Length, about fifteen inches. Me
dium sized, with long tail and short
wings, and without the white patch
on rump which is Characteristic of
the marsh hawk.
Range: Breeds throughout most Of
the United States and southern Can
ada; winters from the United States
to Costa RIGA.
Habits and economic status: The
Cooper's hawk, or blue darter," as
it is Familiarity known throughout the
South, is prominently a poultry and
b~ird-eating species, and it's destructive
ness in this direction is surpassed
only by that of its larger congener,
the goshawk, which occasionally in
autumn and winter enters the United
States from the North in great num-
bers. The almost universal prejudice
against birds of prey is largely due to
the activities of these two birds, as
sisted by a third, the sharp-shinned
hawk, which in habits and appearance
hawk. These birds usually approach
under cover and drop upon unsuspect-
ing victims, making great inroads
upon poultry yards and game coverts
%favorably situated for this style of
hunting. Out of 1913 stomachs exam
ined, 80 contained the remains of
mammals. Twenty-eight species OF
wild birds were identified in the above
mentioned material. This destructive
hawk, together with its two near rela.
tives, should be destroyed by every
