BIRD CENSUS TAKEN.

A holiday census is taken annually
by Alex r. Stalker, of Meridian, for
Bird Lore, a magazine published in
Harrisburg, Pa.
A notable feature of the census
sent from here to the eastern bird
magazine is the great falling off in
the number of quail in this section.
1t is believed this is primarily due TO
the indiscriminate shooting Of the
bird by the hunters.
One day each Christmas season Mr.
Stalker devotes to this bird census.
This year he took it on Dec %. He
started out at S.27 a. m. and return
ed home at 40 p. m. 1t was clear
day with one inch OF snow on the
ground. The temperature was %
to 32 degrees. He walked east. south
and west of town. covering dis
tance of IA miles.
Mr. Stalker is a student of bird life.
In this l4-mile walk he saw II quail
90 Chinese pheasants. seven marsh
hawks, 80 long-eared owls. one short
cared owl, two western horned owls.
seven red-shafted flickers, IS pallid-
horned larks. 219 magpies. $50
black birds. 23 western meadow
larks, 141 house finches. 81 pale
gold finches. 13 gamble sparrows.
221 Shufeldt's juncoes, II Merrill
song sparrows. two white-rumped
shrikes, one western tule wren and
three iong-tailed chicadees.a total of
81 species and 1347 birds.
MIR. Stalker said he saw one snowy
owl ON Dec. 19. The first time he
ever saw snowy owl in this valley

Altogether the program was in

should be made of the fine luncheon
at noon,and the officers of the Home

tion in making the dinner a success.
The musical part of the program

consented to take part on the pro-

from this association and without

to endanger the success of the Irish
convention.
The debate was strong one, due
to the revelation by Premier Lloyd
George and Henry Edward Duke, chief
secretary for Ireland, OF a further Ger
man plan to land arms in Ireland. 1t
also derived unexpected interest from
light thrown on the progress of the
Irish convention
Mr. Duke and Herbert III. Asquith
both expressed most hopeful views
concerning the success of the conven-
tion, Mr.. Asquith saying he believed
that only few months would inter
vene before an agreed policy would

cerning Ireland
John Redmond, member of the
convention, said he was able to pay
tribute to the moderate and helpful
attitude of the Ulster members OF the
conference.
Mr.. Duke, in an exhaustive defense
of the Irish executive, indicated that
the authorities are steering a middle
course in an effort to save the con-
vention from would be destroyers. He
strongly emphasized the great danger
existing for Ireland through thousands
of young men untouched by military
conscription being submitted to the
subversive influence Of Slim Fein
movements, which he described as re-
bellious propaganda, ready to accept
enemy assistance.
The chief secretary declared that
while the government was prepared
to take necessary steps to prevent
criminal acts, 1t would at the same,
time refrain from embarking on a
policy of arrests, which would only
help the secessionist propaganda.
Mr.. Lloyd George, whose absence

bers, made a dramatic temperance

with strong and outspoken de-

and of the propaganda Of Prof. Ed
