Recent active specialties were again prominent at gains of 1 1-2 to 1-2 points. Bethlehem Steel new stock, Lackawanna Steel, Amer ican Can and Hide and Leather com mon and preferred rose 2 points. United States Steel and Standard Rails were irregular.
 Special stocks increased their gains for the most part at noon. Wilson Packing rising points with 2 to 1-2 for American and Continental cans. Ohio Gas rose 3 1-2 points with as much for Montana Power. In the steel group Virginia Iron rose four points and oils were followed by gains of to points in Texas com- pany and Mexican Petroleum. A spirited demand for the secondary steel issues set in at midday those stocks rising 1 to 2 points. Rails. Metals and Shippings were compara- lively neglected. Bonds were steady.
 Sugar and rubber shares became active at gains of one to two points in the afternoon but foremost special ties of the morning reacted on req lizing sales. U. S. Steel and similar issues also forfeited all of their ad- vances.

A PROCLAMATION

The work of the American Red Cross is world wide, and ever.in- creasing demands are being made upon it; and in order that this great organization shall be enabled to maintain it's efficiency and ad- minister to the needs of war and other sufferers, it becomes an i'm perative necessity that the Ameri- can people identify themselves more closely with the work of the Society by enlisting as members and contri outing as generously as may be to the Red Cross fund throughout the duration of the war. To this end. campaign to secure membership and funds will be inaugurated on December 16, continuing until De cember 24, when it is believed that many millions will have been added to the Red Cross membership throughout the nation and it's funds largely increased.
 In this splendid work for human ity, Alaskans must and will do their full share The stricken, suffering nations of Europe-our Allies in the war that is being waged for peace must be succored and the Ameri can Red Cross points the way. Our soldiers and sailors are engaged in the same battle against that modern development of ancient barbarity which has so greatly increased Red hot Tue tice may prevail" is the watchword today. This means e,~( -Siinated ef fort on the part of the American people.
 Now therefore, I. J. F. A. Strong Governor of the Territory of Alas ka, do most earnestly urge all of the people of Alaska to lend their aid and support to the Red Cross campaign by enrolling as members and by making as liberal contribu tions as individual means will per nit, remembering that while our young men are offering their lives to their country, solemn duty rests upon the people of America to make any sacrifice that may be necessary
 
 in the cause of humanity and free dom He gives twice who gives quickly" and so make this a Red Cross Christmas indeed.

How To Help Birds in Winter

1. Supply food frequently, espec tally during and after storms.
 2. Provide feeding shelters where birds can find food and eat co;n fortably during sleet and snow storms.
 3. Protect feeding stations against cats which will kill or frighten the birds.
 Birds feed upon almost all kinds of injurious insects. They lead ac- tive lives and require much food A single bird often eats more than 100 insects at meal and some times consumes several thousand small insects
 Birds on a 200-acre farm in North Carolina destroyed a million green bugs, or wheat aphids, daily. There are many localities where birds have saved certain trees, garden crops, or farm fields from total de- struction.
 Encourage all kinds of birds, as the various species prey on differ ent kinds of insects. For example the hairy and downy woodpeckers render a special service in the pro tection of trees. They glean pests from beneath the bark and from within the wood They account yearly for many a scale insect bark beetle, caterpillar and ant.
 The bobwhite, one of the most important of our game birds, ren- ders particular service in cultivated fields by destroying large numbers of potato beetles, wireworms, cloy CT weevis. boll-weevils, cut worms, army worms and other crop pests
 The bob white suffers particularly from hard winters.
 A little suet or little grain screenings Will keep these valuable feathered servants from starving when cold weather, snow and ice shuts off their natural food supply Birds more than repay for their keep It it better to feed them a little now than to grow @op of insects later.
 Feeding Birds in Winter
 Feeding birds in winter costs lit tie in time food or equipment It attracts birds all winter to fit and chirp around your dooryard It is one of the important means that more of them will nest in your trees next spring. They will sing their thanks and contribute to the beauty and charm of your neighbor- hood.

ply Of Wheaton, member Of the
state fair board. and former presi-
dent of the All-MinneSota Develop

attending the carnival.
81 am going to take the matter up

ply. THE st. Paul carnival has Civ
en- me the Idea. I am sure 1t will be a
success. The first week in September
will be just the right season. The
people will be coming to the fair from
every quarter anyway. We have an
abundance of room to provide a field
for sports of all kinds, and excur-
sions to various points Of interest in
1T will do the country people as
play as it does the city people to go
to the country, and we can provide
them with lot of fun. There is
much to be seen here besides the fair.
II have not worked out all of the
details yet, but plan to put it up
to every farmers club and every
commercial organization in the state
to see that representatives are here.
Whether the clubs will be uni
formed or not will be for them to
say, but they can provide themselves
with uniforms at little expense, and
it will add to the attractiveness of the
carnival 1t would be not only the
biggest funmaking scheme ever in

YEAR In JAPAN

Toxic, Feb. 1.-The year 1917 in an
cieht japanese tradition is known as
the year of the Serpent, believed to
by the same tradition to be associated
with good luck and fortune. The out
going year, known as the year of the
Dragon, fulfilled its traditional expec-
tation that 1t would be accompanied by
progressiveness and development for
the empire of Japan.
Among japanese the serpent is al
ways regarded as the emblem of good
fortune and on that account is revered
instead of being killed by the great
masses Of the people. The popular
japanese word mi" meaning serpent
also signifies fruitful" because it's
pronunciation corresponds to the
sound OF the Japanese word for fruit.
Thus the year Of the Serpent is fruit
full, rich and prosperous.
The goddess Benten, one Of the sew
en- popular gods and goddesses of for
tune, is additionally believed to be
the patron Of the Serpent, and at
every shrine dedicated to the popular
goddess of fortune are kept a number
of the reptiles sacred to the deity.
They are treated with reverence and
something of awe as the messengers
of the goddess. No farmer will destroy
a serpent, but will rather keep it and
feed it. Many stories are told of fami-
lies having amassed wealth through
having kept and fed the creature in
their household as a treasure or sac
red thing.
The last year of the Serpent fell in
1905 when the japanese army scored
great victory over the Russians in
the memorable Manchurian campaign.
Also the country witnessed a prosper
GUS and happy year with unprecedent-
ed activity and prosperity in CONNER
ciaI and industrial circles consequent
upon the conclusion Of peace with.
Russia.

DISTRICT COURT

Nearly all Of the testimony has been
taken in the howage damage case
brought by Claus hammers against the
supervisors of Elmwood township. It
is thought that this case will be given
to the jury tomorrow morning at the
latest.
The next case on the call is that of
the Merchants National Bank of De-
troit VS.. Ole Holt. In this case, it is
understood, "gentlemen's agreement"
made between A. c. Knutson, cashier
of the plaintiff bank, and Louis LOT
gen, cashier Of the First National Bank
of Ulen, will be an important factor.
The priority Of certain claims against
the defendant is involved, and the
question at issue is mainly over certain
expenses incurred in attempting to en-
force payment by the Detroit bank.
