pageant is that in the long line OF
troops are the veterans OF infantry
cavalry and artillery. regiments which
made up the punitive expedition whil ID
went into Mexico in search Of Villa.
This is the first time since the Civil
war that the people have had an op-
portunity to see so many men under
arms IN one body.

CONTRACTOR
IS FINISHING
TABLERROAD
When Completed Ii Will Be far Superior
to Road on Which Work
Was Begun

Charged with the completion Of a
work which, in its initial stages was
well done, contractor was put to
work this morning to administer the
finishing touches to the Tabler road.
With twelve mules and big outfit
work was begun at the expense Of the
road fund which was recently collected
in Chiokasha and it is believed that
when completed the road will be in
shape that win admit of its being
competitor for Ozark Trail honors
At this time owing to the inclement
weather and the fact that the work
was not complete, some portions Of
the thoroughfare do not show up as
well as others but the work already
done has been good. There will be no
comparison between its condition when
completed and what it was before the
road workers began their operations
someo it never had been graded and
was entirely in the rough. A grader
had never touched the mile worked
by Charles Reynolds.
At the conclusion of the contractors
work Captain A. A. Holmes will make
fun report not only Of the work ac-
tually done by both boosters and con-
tractor but will give an itemized ac-
count Of collections and disbursements.

NO MORE ROAD WORK
BY COUNTY GANG

MIN Wyatt, road guard, returned to
his home in Rush Springs today, the
county commissioners having decided
to suspend road work for the present.
There is no lack of husky road work
ers for the county highways but as the
county owns no team and at this sea-
son of the year farmers are too busy
to let their teams Que for this pur-
pose it was decided to quit.
Furthermore, the work which is
most urgent is too far from Chicka-
sha to justify the employment of gangs
on them.

AUSTRALIA NEEDS
 HER BIRDS OF PREY

Australia is regretting the laws passed some thirty years ago ordering the slaughter of hawks. owls, carrion crows or other birds that prey on young animals and birds. For these the result that "decaying bodies, nu- merous on sheep farms, have been left to be demolished by the larvae of blowflieS, which have now increased to such an appalling extent as to threaten the sheep on the runs with destruction, the animals becoming fly blown and eaten up alive by this dan gerous pest.
 Similarly, Victoria is complaining of the difficulty of saving the immense wheat stacks of the country from the plague of mice, which the absence of their natural enemies has begotten. Some protection has been secured by inclosing the stacks within sheets of galvanized iron leaving convenient holes opposite tins sunk in the ground and filled with water. In this way as many as 10000 mice have been caught in a single night. At Minyip recently the catch for two nights weighed rath- CT more than a ton. Contemplate the cost of the corn bill Tor ton of mice for a single week, and weigh this against the cost of properly organized bureau of ornitholOgyi"
 And Mir. Pycraft warns Great Britain that she is rapidly nearing a similar condition by reason of her passion for protecting game birds against owls, hawks and their like.
