The methods OF making these sup
plies available to birds are as varied
as the dietary itself. A device very
commonly used is the food tray or
shelf Gig. ID. This may be put on
tree or pole by a window or at some
other point about building, or strung
upon wire or other support on
which 1t may be run back and forth.
The last device is useful in accustom-
ing birds to feed nearer and nearer
n comfortable observation point. A
fault with food shelves is that wind
and rain may sweep them clean and
snow may cover the food. These de
feets may be obviated in part by add
Ing raised edge about the margin
or by placing the shelf in the shelter
of a wall or shielding it with evergreen
branches on one or more sides.
Feeding devices not affected by the
weather are preferable. An excellent
one is coconut with hole bored
In one end Gig. y. The cavity is
filled with chopped suet and nuts or
other food mixture. and the nut is
suspended by wire from a limb. The
size of the hole regulates the charac-
ter of the guests; If small, large birds
cannot gobble the supply. The COCO

FEEDING AND FOOD SHELTERS.

Birds may be attracted about the
homestead by furnishing them with an
abundance Of food. II is important to
note that an ample supply of food

laid and also the number of broods
In season. Bird food may be sup
piled In two ways-by planting trees,

method Is winter feeding.
Artificial Food Supply.
During the season when the natural
food supply Is at its lowest ebb birds

IMPORTANT MATTER OF LIGHT
Excellent Reasons Why 1t Should Al
ways Fall From the Left Side of
Writer or Worker.

The well-known fact that, when
using the eyes for any near work. the
illumination should come from the left
side rather than the right, is often dis
regarded.
Let anyone who considers the matter
of little Importance once demonstrate
to himself the difference and he will
never forget it. Take a pencil and pa
per and try to write while in such
position that the light will fall from
the right side.
The shadow of the hand or pencil
or both is thrown on the paper In such
a way as partly to cover the characters
one is making. This necessitates
closer viewpoint and conscious strain
on the eyes. Now let the position of the
writer be reversed so that the light
falls from the left side.
He will notice that the shadows fall
away from the work he is doing, and
leave the field unobscured. In making
the change he cannot help but notice
the feeling of ease that Immediately is
experienced by the eyes.
This applies to any other kind of
near work in which the fingers act I'M
der the guidance of the eyes. This fact
should be remembered in planning
schoolrooms, workrooms, offices and
any places where steady, close work is
to be performed.

Executive Members, Gathered at
Fargo Yesterday-To Organ

Fargo, N. D.. April 11.-Plans for
extending the North Dakota Tennis

The committee discussed plans for
the state tournament which will be

for play. 1t was with a view to slim
ulating greater interest in the game
and attendance at the state tourna-
ment that the committee decided to
conduct the campaign to enlafge the
association.
Membership in the association has
been confined for h most part to a
few of the larger cities in the state,
and there has been no effort in the
past to extend the organization to the
smaller towns. In an effort to inter-
est the smaller towns and cities in
tennis. the association has planned an
extensive advertising campaign.
Secretary Muir stated last night
that he will endeavor to get in touch
with tennis enthuiasts in every town
in the state in an effort to induce
them to become members of the as
ISOLATION. He pointed out last night
that the state organization will be in
a position to aid the smaller clubs in
the building and maintenance OF first
class courts.
