WINTER BIRD FEEDING.
Bureau Of Biological Survey Makes
Suggestions TO City Park Officials.

In order that birds may be helped
safely through the months of winter
when snow will cover many of their
usual sources of food, the bureau OF
the biological survey of the United
States department Of agriculture Is
urging city park officials to make bird
feeding an activity in the city pleasure
grounds.
Letters have been sent to the officials
Of parks IN the northern parts Of the
United States pointing out the value
Of birds to the community because of
their destruction Of insects injurious to
trees and crops and calling attention
to Farmers Bulletins 62l relating to
the northeastern and 100 relating to
the northwestern states. issued by the
department, which offer practical sug
gestions for attracting the feeding
birds. The furnishing of facilities for
feeding the birds In the city parks, 1t
Is pointed out, will give enjoyment to
many people, especially bird lovers.
The letter continues:
"Wintcr feeding may be done in the
simplest ways, as by putting up suet
in small cans, In cocoanuts or under
wire netting and by scattering mixed
seeds on bare places, or more elab-
crate apparatus and more varied foods
may lie used. We incose a publca-
tion giving details Of the methods Of
feeding and attracting wild birds and
trust that you will be interested in add
Ing bird feeding stations to the attrac-
tons In your parks BY means of
them you can bring TO convenient OBJ
servation points several species Of the
most attractive, interesting and yalua-
Bile birds, Such feeding stations are
Of great interest to children and give
the boys and girls chance TO learn
birds while they are having the en-
joyment Of feeding them.
"The bulletin we inclose specialzes
on the Use of fruit producing trees and
shrubs IN attracting birds, and we

SAY A. P. A. is NOT IN
SUIT WITH CLEAN HANDS"

New York, Jan. 17-Evidence that
/ the Associated Press did not come in
| TO court with clean hand" in its in
/ junction suit against The information
al News Service was laid before fed
eral judge Hand in the hearing of the
suit this afternoon.
On top Of the numerous atIidayits,
gathered from all parts OF the coun-
try, showing the Associated Press is
itself guilty OF the same practices it
charges against the international
News Service. counsel for the Inter
national News Service cited the case
of the Chicago Tribune versus the
Associated Press IN which the condi-
tons are identical
Samuel Utermyer, one OF the coun-
sci for the International News Serv-
ice, pointed ont to the court that in
This case the Chicago Tribune bought
exclusive rights for the publications in
America of the war dispatches OF the
London Times. notwithstanding this
the Associated Press continually and
habituaily re-Wrote from early edi-
tons OF the London Times these dis
patches and distributed them 10 its
members here The Chicago Tribune
protested to no avail.
Mr.. Utnermyer told the court, is the
very same thing the Associated Press
is seeking to enioin the International
News Service from doing.
Such an attempt is preposterous.
Mr.. Untermyer said.
As one important bit OF evidence
that the Associated Press picks up
and rewrites International News Ser
vice dispatches, Mr.. Utnermyer cited
the historic Lusitania sinking, He
pointed out that in this case the Ia
ternational News Service had clean
beat" on the story, but the Associat-
ed Press appropriated the story from
the extras OF the International News
Service clients and by so doing say
cd its face" with its members.
The International News Service
met the charges Of the Associated
Press that it had secured Associated
Press dispatches from the New York
American with affidaYits from editors
and officers of the American stating
that this was untrue.
Returning again to the matter of re-
writing dispatches from early edi-
tons. Mr.. Untermyer pointed out that
the foreign news which the Associat-
cd Press cables to the United States
is largely rewritten from early edi-
tons Of the European newspapers.

GEoUNDS OF INCINERAroB PLANT.
a fast growing city like Portland the
plant proved in a very short time to be
too small. To overcome the situation
part of the garbage had to be buried
on the dump. As there Is always IA
considerable amount Of paper mixed
with the garbage the dump soon
caught fire, sending the stencil from
the burning garbage over the residence
section of the city. Those fires were
the cause of strong demand for the
removal Of the plant and the dump and
for the installation Of new and up to
struction Of $50 toa incinerator, to
be erected IN the same locality, was
let to a local company in 1910, and the
plant was accepted by the city Of Port
land in December, 1911. After long
aud vigorous test it proved to be Il
great success from both the sanitary
and economical points Of view
With the garbage disposal question
solved. attention could now be given TO
the improvement of the filthy and I'M
slightly condition on the ground aud
dump surrounding the plant TO ac
complish this the ground had to be
raised in places from six to twenty
feet to bring it level with the ground
floor Of the building. Only noncom-
bustibIe material was nsed in this fiji,
mostly wood ashes hauled in BY gar
bage collectors. This took considerable
time, but in the spring of 1914 we had
a smal part Of the older ill soWed in
white clover. The result of this expert
ment was Il surprise aud showed what
ashes when leached out for about Il
year, could grow. The ground was
seeded, and by July the lawn was in
as fine condition as any lawn in the
city
1t has cost the city for seed up to
the present date 1854 An the flowers,
bulbs plants and shrubs were either
donated by friends or obtained from
refuse hauled to the incinerator TO be
destroyed. Two hundred rose bushes
were given to the plant in the fall Of
1914 hy James o. Convill, superintend-
ent of city parks, and about 100 have
been added since. The last lot are
very choice roses and were sent to the
plant by local floral house a little
after the planting season. Free offers

a SENSIBLE MOVE

The editors of the Dresden En-
terprise, The Martin Mail and the
Greenfield News, the three secular
newspapers of Weakley county,
have advanced the subscription
price of their publications from
one dollar year to one dollar and
fifty cents. The announcement
was made last week aud the change
goes into effect January /. 1918.
Many Of the very best newspa-
pers in the country are being
forced to increase their subscrip-
ton rates. The dailies have all
done so and there is no reason
why she small papers should not.
We are still charging only 81
for the Democrat, but we are re-
alizing more and more every day
the folly of such action. The
price Of everything we buy has
advanced and good business sug-
gests an increase in the price Of
the paper.

NEW POSTAL RATES

An act of congress approved
October 3, 1917. going into effect
November 2, next, provides for a
new postal rate on first class mail.
this change means three cents on
letters and two cents on postal
cards.
Upon all matters of the first
class postage shall be charged at
the rate of three cents tor each
ounce or fraction thereof; and
drop letters shall be mailad nj the
rate Of two cents per ounce or
fraction thereof, including deliv-
cry at letter. carrier Offices. A
drop letter is one addressed for
delivery from the Office at which
it is posted There is no drop
rate on any other matter except
letters.
1t should be remembered that
the additional postage on first class
letters is not one cent extra on the
letter, but one cent additional for
each ounce. To illustrate, if the
letter weighs three ounces and or
dinarily would require six cents
postage it would under the new
rate require nine cents postage
and not the original six cents plus
one cent.
Everyone should remember that
after midnight, November /, the
mail must carry the additional
postage or it will be held for post

tertained at both places. He says
a united nation must back up our

good things said by him we Gull
the following:
Il pray God that when Amer

will, that we u8ay help the Ger
man people get the right TO gov
ern themselves as we govern our
selves, and that despotic military
autocracy may disappear from the

give the government anything.
You lend your money to it upon

to a stricken world that the light
OF Christ is not yet obliterated;
that there is still hope for suffer
ing humanity, and that the Stars

in the skies of stricken Europe are
a beacon of light and the promise
of restored peace and happiness.
