THE EXCLUSIVE BLUEBIRD.
Will Not Stand For Near Neighbor>
to Private Nest.

Bird life is the fullest and most in
tense during the mating and nesting
season. Love of war, courting or
scrapping, rule their activities. What
jealousies and rivalries, what war
ring and winning go on all about us!
The birds are all glad and mad at the
same moment.
One morning in April l heard the
excited voices of bluebirds and rob-
ms in the .vinyard below me; going
down there, l saw pair of blue
birds and pair Of robins fitting
about and perching on the wires and
posts in an angry an excited frame
of mind Some of their movements
and gestures suggested that they
were scrapping. But why should
bluebirds and robins scrap?" | ask
ed myself had never seen them do
such a thing, so l began looking for
a common enemy and expected to find
a cat sulking in ditch there or may
be a snake. But could find neither;
still the excited and accusing voices
kept it up. Then l chanced to see
some dry grass and weed stalks hang
ing down from a grape post which
was splintered and broken at the top.
l found that the robins were building
a nest there in a ragged depression
on the top of the post, and that foot
and a half lower down the bluebirds
had preempted downy woodpecker's s
old hole, and were making nest
there. The fracas was explained; :;
neither pair of birds wanted the 9TH
er such near neighbors. Each look
ed upon the post as it's own.
l saw that the robins had made a
bad choice-no cover or screen of any
kind. The first fish crow that flew
over in egging time would see the
nest and rifle it promptly. If | could
l would have told the mother robin
of the dangerous site of her nest. A
week or ten days later | saw her
brooding her eggs in apparent Sc
curity, but not long afterward found
her gone and her nest empty and
torn: but as | put my hand in the
post, out went the mother bluebird.
The crows and jays could not reach
her and she was right in claiming the
post as alone suited to her needs.
Birds have their troubles as we'll as
we featherless bipeds.-John Bur

FIXES PRICE OF SUGAR.
All Forces Agree ON Standardization.
Relief Comes Soon.

New York, Oct. 23.-Refnery
wholesale and retail prices of sugar
for greater New York were standar-
died in an agreement entered into
today by representatives of the three
branches of the industry at confer
ence called by Henry Mosgowitz,
commissioner of public markets. The
prices follow:
Refinery-$S.35 basis for bulk
granulated; wholesale, $3.50 per 100
pounds for bulk granulated in the
original packages to the retail trade;
retail, 10 to II cents pound for
granulated sugar, the price to the
consumer not to exceed II cents.
The conferees issued statement
saying that the cooperation of the
consumer was necessary in working
out the plan and that the sugar short
age is temporary.
"Relief," it is added, ''is forthcom-
ing through the supply of United
States beet and Hawaiian cane sug-
ars, Louisiana cane sugar and Puerto
Rican and Cuban cane sugar.
The plan requires that the rehners
apportion their distribution on the
basis of the available sugar asfollows:
"The sales to each customer will
be ascertained for the first six months
of the year and his average monthly
purchase computed. This figure will
be used as the basis for distributing
the sugar that the refners will fur
nish to the New York territory.
''The wholesalers agree to prorate
a temporary distribution on the same
basis as the refners.
sThe reailers agree to sell not
more than two, three and a half or
FIVE pounds at any one time to their
regular trade-this quantity to last
those consumers from ten days or
two weeks. according to the size Of
the family.
The conferees adopted series of
penalties to insure the enforcement
of the agreement. Consumers must do
their share, however, it was pointed
out, by economizing. Housewives
were urged to cut down their sugar
rations by at least so per cent. and
more if possible.
'It is evident that some Of the con-
sumers are boarding sugar urneces-
sarily," the statement said. "hestau-
rants. hotels and clubs should devise
economical methods of distribution.
The practicing of placing a bowl OF
sugar on the table in a restaurant or
lunch room for the patrons unre-
stricted use should be abolished.

RAYMOND BECOMES
HEATED BEFORE
PROBE ON MARKET
Maui Cattle Shipper Objects to
His Business Being ConSid-
cred in investigation

DR.. J. II. Raymond, cattle shipper OF
Maui, appeared before the senate ways
and means committee this morning in
q hearing over the territorial market
that saVored at times of the dramatic
and the fiery.
Raymond told the senators at the
close of the meeting, rising to con,
clude his argument, that they could
legislate as they saw fit; they could
legislate the market out OF existence
and that he would still be able to sell
his beef in Honolulu. He objected to
having the Raymond ranch brought Ii:
as argument, however. -.
The doctor led up to his final state
ment with series of questions direct.
ed at superintendent A. T. Longley
of the marketing division, which
brought from the superintendent
statements that business had in.
creased more than 100 per cent since
meat from the Raymond ranch had
been assigned to the market, and that
the ranch should be kept on the list
for the best interests, of the small,
shipper as well. -
Raymond said he well knows the
ranch is building up business that
will cut it's own throat--making a
Frankenstein of itself as he put it, by
helping the rival producer to better
trade II. =. 49,
How about the price of beef to the
retailer who comes to your market
the laborer On the waterfront for IN
stance?" Raymond asked, turning to
Longley. -- ! :-.o. r
Longley's answer was that the mar.
ket sells cheaper by from one to five
cents pound than other markets of
the city. He also stated, answering
a question from the doctor, that tom,
Dick and Harry" among the small SELL
ers are getting IL cent for their meat
where they got 8 cents before.
Raymond told at the beginning of
how he had entered into trade with
the territorial division. knowing It Vas
a shoe string business but relying
upon the personal integrity and honor
of Superintendent Longley.
He cited how Longley has increased
the business until now the institution
is on its feet, paying the small pro.
ducer that was not paid before. Ray
mond said he too had offered to put
up money on the deficit, but did not
because Longley and Westgate with
others had signed the notes for it.

LONDON, Eng.-One result of the
voluntary rationing system now in
force in this country has been that a
large number of families in the fash
ionable quarters of London have put
their servants on board wages, which
means that instead of giving board to
servants the householder pays them
so much week and let's them board
themselves. The reason for the change
is that the servants refused to cat
the restricted meals served to others
