The year OF 1917 is an epoch
freighted with important historical
research. Just recently b public
read the announcement that h most
famous of all cities, Jerusalem, had
been taken by the English troops. II
was a glad and pleasant announce
ment. Probably very few persons
now living expected that the holy
city would be in control of the chris
tan people this early. 1T gives u
an inspiration to move to h holy
land and there live the remainder of
his days. What a place for obserya-
ton and study and reflection. This
would contribute to life's period, J
estimate. There the student and his
torian would meet and mingle with
the different n~ationalities of the
earth, and all would be safe and
respected. 1t is worth living in these
years of immense events. The TAX
ing Of Jerusalem by the English well
frepays for the struggle of var Now
the city will be made anew and will
progress as never before. The name
Jerusalem will be high above all, and
will be lustrous and honored and an
illumination to all the universe.
Has the city Of Keokuk a few doz
Ell kind hearted and patriotic citizens
OF the John James Audubon and
Wilson character? Those beloved
missionaries OF mercy and interest
in bird life should have in each
locality a real generous hearted class
in good working order in behalf OF
all our birds. Too little interest Is
manifested in this subject. During
the leisure hours of winter, a good
service may be provided for blue
birds. wrens and purple martins, in
making little dwelling homes for
them especially during their months
of housekeeping and the care Of their
babies. This will be appreciated by
the birds and will help to increase
their population. Birds that best
maintain their numbers include the
purple martin, wrens, blue birds and
all woodpeckers and sapsuckers. The
black Dap titmouse and Nthe tufted
titmouse also build their nests in
soft wood. Wooden homes in trees
boxes, and other dwellings afford
protection to the Inhabitants, and
these places for the birds should be
a part of the decorations Of all farm
homes as well as in own or city.
