Movement on Foot
 to Prohibit Batting
ny PE1NR c. CARNEY

There is a. movement on foot in some portions of the country to pass laws pro- hibiting the feeding or batting of wild ducks, but it would be far better for the duck shooters in this country if there were a law passed making it obligatory upon each one to do his proportion of the feed- ing.
 The difference between good and bad seasons for wild fowl in this country de- pends much more upon the favorable or unfavorable conditions afforded for feed- Ing grounds and loafing grounds than on any change in the numbers of birds from season to season..
 We can state without fear of contradic- tion that northern and central Mexico in the winter season afford the greatest rem dezvous for migratory ducks in the world today, and the greater percentage of these birds pass in flight over some portion of the United States on their way south in the fall. It would be we'll if all iegisla- ton of this kind could be left in the hands of the department that has so capably handled the migratory bird law, rather than to have localisms injected by com mittees whose horizon on this subject seems to be very much more limited

 At the Bijou ;!
 The mysterious Thurston and his company of 23 people will be the at traction at the Bijou theatre next week with matinees Tuesday, Thurs day and Saturday.
 The life story of Thurston is in it. self a history of remarkable advance ment in the conjurer's art. From small beginning with a pack of cards as his sole asset he now carries two carloads of effects.
 After he succeeded Kellar 10 years ago Thurston departed from the usual path then trod by magicians and set for himself a high standard of perfec- tion that has been characteristic of his 1 success. for he sought for novelties for the big creations and the most wonderful illusions.
 America is trifle boastful of some or the accomplishments of the Yankee l race and certainly we have reason to | be proud of Thurston. who has amused | nations and made them pay for if. | Thurston talks English. or at least 1 Americanese. He talks all the time | he works-and then some He uses language to divert you from what he ] Is doing. If you speak English and | understand what he is saying you win | find that his conversation dazzles. sparkles. electrifies. He is wise witty. subtle; keen and has vocabulary like ] a Webster. And here is the strange | part; the people who do not know word of English enjoy Thurston just as much as those who do, which | shows you what superfluity words really are.
 MT. Thurston will present to every woman attending the Tuesday ana Thursday matinees a complete horo- scope of her life free.
