woodpeckers are willing occupants of
artificial houses, and even the downy
woodpecker, that sturdy little carpen-
ter, has, in one instance at least,
deemed such home a satisfactory
abode in which to raise a family. Shell
tiers having one or more sides open are
used by birds which would never ven

peckers. They would have been occu-

Ordinary wooden boxes, If clean,
can be made into birdhouses by mere
ly mailing on cover and cutting out
an entrance hole. Such makeshifts

DIR DIGRhCE
(From Our Dumb Animals)

(Fr0m Our DUMP An1malS)
Nothing reported from the battle
fields of Europe has been more brutal
and more inhuman. than the lynch
ing of Negro few weeks ago in
Memphis, Tennessee That shameful
affair, followed by the horrors of the
East ST. Louis debauch of arson, tor
ture and murder, at the very hour
when the nation is professedly stand
ing as the defender of manhood
rights and human freedom, must
seem incredible to the civilized world.
There are evidently men among us
as savage and cruel as any we have
denounced across the sea.
Unless the government of the Unit
ed States sets itself resolutely to pro-
tect the sacred rights of it's citizens,
who at last will blame the twelve
millions of the colored race If they
rise in determined rebellion to vindi-
cate their rights by the only forces
left at their command? No other
race has equalled, in patient suffer
ing of injustice, the colored race. AT
times it has almost seemed as If they
had won their plea for justice by ODE
dience to the Christian teaching of
returning good for evil. But they
are too human and the day may be
nearer than we think when lowly
enduring patience. outraged beyon
measure, will give way to the spirit
which will demand Justice. 1t was
out of this spirit that America was
born.
Put yourself, white American citi-
zen, in the colored mans place, How
long would you endure at the hands
of your fellow-citi-ens the cruel in
justices that are being heaped upon
him?

Of making log house is to split a
straight-grained log two feet or more
in length through the middle and then
to cut out cavity with gouge. The
excavations in the two halves can be
made to match exactly by means of a
pattern or template having the size
and shape desired for the proposed
