INDUSTRY VOLUNTEERS

A quiet, sturdy, frm-featured man,
Just past forty, walked quietly into
the office of Secretary Daniels, this
week, and offered him enough rolled
brass at the Government own terms
to supply shell discs for the entire
navy. Daniels had never seen the
man before. When he was introduced
by Congressman, the Secretary ex-
pected him to ask favor Instead,
he dumped into Secretary's Jap a
veritable bonanza, since how to get
shells for the big guns has been a
question in the Navy Department.
The man was William A. Morgan,
of Buffalo, who CONTROLS and directs
the largest copper and brass rolling
mill in America. He furnishes to
Canada ninety per cent. Of the rolled
brass the Dominion buys outside her
own domain and to France seventy
five per cent. of all she buys out
side her borders.
Mr.. Morgan is an example of the
ability and force of the American
business man, that is almost daily be
ing placed at the disposal of this coun-
try in the event of war with Germany.
He is also an example of American
possibilities. Four years ago he was
the district representative of Swift
& Company, in Buffalo, at moderate
salary. He became interested in a
rapidly decaying rolling mill and for
six months he gave an hour a day to
it. When the war came, he grasped
his opportunity and is now worth up
ward of seven millions
Mr.. Morgan thinks he owes more to
Uncle Sam than most men and stands
ready to pay his debt. He slipped in
and out of Washington before any
body knew it and by the time the re-
ports of his visit got around he was
back on the job, in Buffalo.
AS the result of his dealings with
foreign governments, Morgan has had
a chance to make comparison and he
says America will surprise the world
when it comes to prompt action. lie
has sat with the Canadian munitions
board for two years and if war comes
to the United States, he is expected
to be among the leaders of the pa
triotic industrial forces of the coun-

THE RAN ON sPARROWS

HI DAN Wv "a E1ANAeO W -
Thirty boys of Inlet and vicinity hav-
ing become convinced after careful
investigation and reliable information
that the common sparrow is a COM
mon. nuisance, driving away other
birds desirable for their songs or as
scavengers of the insect pests, band
ed themselves together recently to rid
their community of these outlaws of
the bird population in their commun-
ity.
Sides were chosen with Robert
Boyce and Robert Patterson as lead
ers and six days hunt, beginning on
February 28th and continuing until
March 9th was engaged in the terri
tory covered, all being within ra-
dius of five miles of Inlet. The terms
of the hunt were that the side secur-
ing the most sparrow heads should
be counted the winning side and the
losing side should give to the win
ming side an oyster supper at the
school house at Inlet on the evening
of March 18th.
The contest closed on last Tuesday
and when the count of sparrow heads
was made the total number of spar
rows was found to be 1912. The side
under Robert Boyce were found to be
the winners, with a score of 963 heads
to their credit, while the side with
Robert Patterson as leader brought
in 649 heads. In order that the Tri-
bune might be assured of the authen-
ticity of the foregoing the entire 1912
heads were brought to this office We'd
nesady. Residents in and about In
let will probably enjoy the presence
of many feathered songsters and in
sect preying birds this season and be
freed from the annoyance of the ubi.
quitous sparrow this coming season
as a result of this hunt.
