much to the point. But reflect a mo-

walls of the forty last years homes of

bard barn in Woodstock need little
mason work this season. Last years
wacups homes will be used this year
by wrens and bluebirds. In an apple
tree near Preston Plains, l was shown
a hole drilled by q downy, used early
the next year by ree-swallows later
the same season by wacups who en-
larged the hole, ard in successive
years it was occupied by crested fly
catchers, notified owls, and flying
squirrels. After the sides of the cav
ity had been broken and well worn, a
purple quackle stuck it's nest in the
crevfce. From another hole in this
tree grey squirrel ate a set of blue
birds eggs.
Horned and barred owls breed in
last years hawks nests if no hole or

and redshouldered buteos sometimes
build new nests, the last years nests

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The level head Is not more needed
in the seats Of government than in
the business houses and homes Of the
people. It is no time to hoard the
necessities Of life thus ultimately max
ing it harder for those to exist who
have not the means Of anticipating the
future. 1t is the time to be consider
ate of one another, to divide oppor-
tunities with one another in order
that the burdens of war may be as
evenly distributed as possible. Never
before was it the duty to the same de-
gree Of the strong to undertake TO
shoulder the needs of the weak. Life
must be kept as nearly normal as
human judgment can make il, and it
is to this end that the level head will
contribute until the nation has learn
ed to think and act as one man.
New Haven Journal Courier.
William Edward Hall, Yale 1900.
has been appointed by the Federal
Department of Labor to direct the
mobilization of one million boys and
young men to go to the nations farms
and camp out on them to hep with
their labor in filling the soil and har-
vesting the crops. Mr.. Hall is just
the man for the place. He is presi-
dent Of the Boys Club Federation of
the United States. The plan contem-
plates the blishment of enrolling
stations in every city in the country.
Boys from Is to 19 years of age would
be organized in squads under proper
supervision, and with adequate equip
ment would camp on farms wherever
their services were needed during the
season. The work will be in efficient
hands for Mr.. Hall is splendidly equip
ped to direct it and is in touch with
organiZa tions working for boys all
over the country.-NeW Haven Union.
The man who would walk into the
corner grocery store and ask the gro
Ger to give him ten pounds of sugar
for nothing would very. naturally and
properly consider himself rightly des
ignated as being somewhat demented.
Sugar is q valuable commodity. No
logical person would ask a bank to
give him 500 for nothing. Money is
valuable. This same logical person,
however. often loses his logic when he
enters the door of a newspaper Office
and asks for free advertising if the
paper would confer a favor on itself
by turning its columns over to him.
In these days of the high cost of white
paper more than ever before adver-
Using is as valuable az sugar or money
or coal. It costs the publishers money
to provide it-more money than ever
before and ii should be regarded by
the public as being in the same class
as any OTHER commodity OF value. =

GOSPER CRAVE

written Governor Campbell from Los
Angeles asking that some provision
be made by the state for the up-keep
of the grave. which is in the Bart
lett Loean soldiers plot Of Evergreen
cemetery of the coast city
Governor Campbell replied that as
the Legislature was not in session,
nothing could be done, unless the
public spirited people themselves
wished to contribute toward such a
maintenance.
Gosper died in 1912. and the body
was preserved in ice 1t Los Angeles

the driveway done away with for the
purpose of eliminating parking of au-

new arrangement automobiles will
have to park on Seventeenth avenue,

MINES SENDING
STATEMENTS IN

Producing mines in Arizona are be-
ginning to send in their reports 70 the
state tax commission and it is ex-
pected that all the reports will BE in
by April l. The reports have thirteen
schedules, covering every phase of the
mining business.
While many other corporations are
not required to send in their reports
until later in the year, number of
them have done so. including the tel
egraph, telephone and railroad COM
panies.
The tax commission expects to have
the reports checked and ready for the
several boards of supervisors before
summer Non producing mines do not
come under the Jurisdiction OF the tax
commission, but the reports coming in
show that since the last tax levy
there has been a large number of for
rner non producers placed in the pro-
ducing column.
