DEFYINe THE SUBMARINES.

The news that the St. Louis of the American line. the first American yes sel to leave this country armed and reach British port, has arrived at its destination cannot fail to be gratifying. It is of course not the first ship flying the American flag which braved the barred zone estalb- lished by Germany and it is not the first to bid defiance to the German policy of ruthlessness. but it is the first to set out from this country which intended to do so in case it be . came necessary.
 There has been no intention on the part of the United States to tie its steamers up until the war is over just because Germany said that it must There has been no inclination to abide by the unjustified orders which the imperial German government issued Tn this respect. Vessels have been held in port in many instances until the authority to arm them was se- cured and the equipment and sgunners could be obtained. but henceforth it is not to be anticipated that this state of affairs will continue any longer.
 This country understands it's rights It has no doubt about them and it is going to insist that there shall be re- spect for them to the extent of it's ability. The St. Louis. by the cross ing which it has made, has snapped its finger at the German submarine warfare. It is prepared for whatever eventua1ities may transpire and what lt has accomplished it will continue to carry on. and while it is doing so there are other American ships which win do likewise and be prepared to destroy those who attempt to inter fere.

The Feather Coats.

MT. Editor: As spring comes oh it will be well for the boys and girls to have some interest in our feathery neighbors. The robin is almost the first bird to attract our attention He is too well known to need much de- scription, but if you notice when he first comes in March his breast is real red but as the season advances it fades until about August it has chang ed to a brown or dirty color as if it had suffered from the summers sun
 The blue bird appears like a per son who had accidentally rubbed against some new paint. His wings and back are so like the color of the sky you would think he had rubbed against it, and his breast is the color of the ground and makes you think he had come in contact with Mother Earth.
 Two more birds that are very in- teresting are the hairy Woodpecker and the downy woodpecker. They are both about the size or a little larger than the robin. and are black and

The Change in the Liquor Attorneys
 Attitude.

MT. Editor: At the recent prohfbi- tion hearing in the hall of the house was struck by remarkable change in the attitude of the liquor attor- neys, ana it seems worth while to call it to public attention.
 Some twenty-five or thirty years ago, when I was publishing prohibi- tion newspaper, I attended many simi- lar hearings, and in those days, as I xecall, the paid attorneys of the n- gument, would usually say something like this:
 Now, I take drink myself, when I want it. I don't abuse it, but if want a glass of beer or a drink of and I claim I have a right to do it, and no legislature has any right to deny or take away my pershonal lib erty to drink, etc, etc.
 At the recent hearing, and in these later days, remarkable change has occurred. Messrs. O'Meara, Danaher and Orr. who spoke for the liquor traffic that day. each of them in his remarks took pains to say in sub stance:
 Now, I am not drinking man my self, don't use it: but if my neigh bor wants a drink, I claim he has right to take it. and no legislature has any right to take away his personal liberty to drink, etc, etc.
 In other words, these intelligent ad- vocates of the liquor traffic have now learned better than to take the stuff themselves, but appear before the leg islature to plead for the sacred right and personal liberty Of their neighbors to drink what they know better than to drink themseIyes
 Interesting situation, isn't it? AS the French phrase declares, fit Is to iaughI"

white The best way to tell them apart is by the red spot in the back or the neck of the hairy woodpecker He would make you think that some one had pinched him until he had bled and thus formed his trademark. One habit very conspicuous with the Woodpecker is that of always pick ing and knocking the trunks and the branches of trees with their bills. These birds have a natural ear which helps them to find their food When they pick and knock the bark Of the tree they can tell by the sound wheth- CT or not there is a worm underneath. In some of the coldest days this win ter the downy woodpecker was in the woods and he was as busy as could De, picking at the bark of the trees , Fhe vesper sparrow is one of the common birds seen along the road side. He flies from bush to bush and appears to be very busy little crea- ture- He can always be known by the two white outer tail feathers, but the most beautiful of all the sparrows to me is the song sparrow You may always know him by the black spot on his throat. His three distinct long silvery notes are among the most beautiful of the bird note. He comes in early spring and is with us until autumn
 One of the very common birds is the Baltimore oriole. His head and throat are black, his wings are black with white spots and edging, the other parts are a bright yellow.
 The che wink or ground robin is an- other faForite bird His head and throat are black. his breast is white and a beautiful chestnut color when darting in and out the leaves under the trees he says "Chewiuk, chewink'' as plainly as can be, you could not miss him.
 There are many hundreds of birds in our fields and woods and even if the wisest can not know them a1I by learning few at a time the subject becomes more and more interesting, and it's well worth while to study our feathery neighbors.

RAILROAD REVENUE.

In connection with the request of the railroad companies of the country made to the interstate commission that they be allowed to increase their rates in order to meet the burdens which have been placed upon them, it is fully appreciated that they must produce the evidence that will prove the justice of their demands That is the policy which the commission has followed in the past and that is what 1t can be expected it will do in this instance. And in doing so it is per fectIy right. for there is certainly ITO

Much Extra Work in March.

It's between seasons now, when few persons perspire as much as health demands. The result is double work for the kidneys, for the kidneys :iust throw oat waste matter from the sys- tenn that is eliminated through the pores when persons perspire.

The presentation of the pitiful po- sitfon of the Armenians and Syrians by Rev. John O.
