once. then twice and three times. and oc-
casionally even four times. When they
are feeding they often sound a c~ontented
kind of chuckle which is similar to that
of the mud hen when undisturbed.
DO NOT CALL TOO LOUD.
Sound travels a long ways in a still
marsh. When the call j. loud the mallard,
black duck and widgeon detect easily the
voice in a marsh. Oftentimes these wary
birds, after coming into IA marsh in re-

~decoys: or they may alight outside of gun
range and study the dccoys To satisfy
themselves Of their being all right. Ii not

wards the decoy-, feeding and chuckling as
they swim.
DO not call too loud or too often.

entirely around YOU to discover what the
suspicious bunch of weeds contains, and
at such a time lie low and do not try To

SIMPLICITY IN NEW HOUSES
IN Recent Years With Tendency
Toward Homeiike Structures.

The present decade of the twentieth
century Is fortunate period In house
building. Lucky are the people who
build, and lucky are the architects.
Compared with the 1880 period, or the
1890 or even the 1900. the present dis
ciples of the T-square are indeed for
tunate, SAYS an authority on home
architecture.
Many people who built Il years ago
would give great deal If they could
tear down and begin all over again,
and doubtless there are architects who
wish that their twenty-year-Old dwell
ings were like card houses-easy to de-
molish and rebuild
Great strides have been made In this
country within the past decade In
everything pertaining to houSe-making.
Surely the number Of beautiful houses
of moderate cost springing up all over
the country would turn the rankest
pessmist into an optimist. so far as
our architectural prosperity is con-
cerned Whether of rough cast. half
timbered, clapboards, shingles or solid

Fire Warden c. A. Fisher arrested
Fred Choate, jr., Ben Murrsv,
Marshall LeBaron, two of the Har-
lacher boys, and two or three other
Cavendish farmers Wednesday for
burning stumps and slashings on their
farms. The cases will come up for
trial before Probate Judge Todd Sep
TENDER Is. Mr.. Murray, the only one
of the men arrested interviewed, was
indignant over the arrest, saying he
was burning out seven stumps near
his house. and had taken every pre-
caution to handle the fire; that he Rad
dug up the ground SO the fire could
not get away. and had covered each
stump with barnyard manure, pitting
the fire. MIR. Murray said that his
neighpors had taken every possible
precaution to take care of their fires,
and were guarding them to prevent
any possible damage. He wants to
know how farmer in Clearwater
county is to clear up his land if this
is the kind of law we have. The
farmers declare they will fight the
cases to the highest court and see il
the ranchers struggling to clear up
homes have any rights.
