style of house that is to occupy it. In
the final placing of birdhouses, care
should be taken to have them face
away from the winds prevailing in
stormy weather. The strongly devel-
oped homing instincts of birds can be
relied on to attach them to the neigh
borhood where they first saw the light,
and the identical pairs which nest In
the house provided for them one year
will often return the next season TO
enjoy the same bounty and protection.
Location Of Houses.
The location of q birdhOuse or food
shelter has much to do with Its sue
cess, for the reason that birds have
decided notions as to proper sur
roundings for a dwelling. Martins
prefer to breed near houses, but not
within 20 feet of trees or buildings
Bluebirds are inclined to select or
chards or pastures having scattered
trees. Wrens, thrashers and catbrds
live In thick shrubbery Robins like
trees with sturdy trunks and branches.
Titmice, nuthatches and most Of the
WOodpecKerS are woodland species, al
though flickers and red-headed wood
peckers are more at home among the
scattered trees OF roadsides and pas
lures. Song sparrows frequent weedy
swales and brush fences Swallows
do not enter woods, SO that a house
would be as attractive to them in one
open place as another. The eastern
phoebe, the black phoebe and the
house finch, while not limited to the
haunts Of man, are noticeably partial
to them. Crested flycatchers, screech
owls, barn owls and sparrow hawks
are governed more by convenience
than by taste; although normally in
clined to hold 8loof from man, they
have in many instances reared their
broods in close proximity to dwellings
Barn owls, true to their name, accept
without hesitation suitable quarters in
buildings.

CATERING TO THEIR NEEDS.

Birds may be gathered about us in
all seasons of the year with ease and
certainty merely by offering what they
desire. In winter they are often
pushed for food, and if we supply this
need they, will report daily at the
lunch counter and help to relieve the
tedium of our indoor life. In sum-
mer they care less for food provided
by their human friends, and other

HON. ARNOLD BARKSDALE

Perhaps one of the best known men
In judicial circles is Hon. Arnold
Barksdale, the Surveyor of Customs
for New Orleans, Mr.. Barksdale. a
son of the late Judge Allen Banks
dale of Ruston, was born in Lincoln
Parish, July s, 1873.
His early education was in the pub
lie schools of Ruston and. he was
among the first to matriculate in the
Louisiana Industrial Institute at that
place in the establishment of which
his father took great interest. He lat
er attended the Louisiana State I'm
iversity at Baton Rouge.
When Senator Ransdall was elect
ed to Congress, he rendered his pri-
vate secretaryship to Mr.. Barksdale
who was then only twenty-one years
of age. While in Washington he at
tended the Columbian University
School of Law and, returning to Rus
ton, was admitted to the bar and be-
gan the practice of law as a member
Of the firm of Barksdale & Barksdale,
at that time composed of his father
and brother. His firm has for a num-
DCl VI yCdIS du tAltuSlt6 pTdC-
tice, becoming legal representatives
of the Rock Island Lines upon the en-
try of that system in the State, and
otherwise identifying itself with the
industrial development of the North
ern Louisiana section.
He, like his father before him, al
ways has taken an active interest in
politics, having been a member of the
various Democratic committees in his
parish and district since he was 81
years old or before. And he has been
for some years a member of the DEM
ocratic State Central Committee.
He, however, never aspired to pol
itical office and his present post is
the only public office he has ever
held. He was named for the position
by Senators Ransdall and Broussard
with both of whom he has long en-
joyed intimate friendship.
Although a native of the northern
part of the state, he is well known
locally as a member of the law firm
of Friedrichs. Noise, Barksdale and
Barksdale The firm also has an Of
fee in Ruston, La.
Mr.. Barksdale is greatly interested
in a company recently organized for
the building of wooden ships for the
United States Shipping Board at Moss
Point.

POLL TAX PAYMENT IS
VERY IMPORTANT
we on Probable Constitutional
amendment Makes Receipt

James Barrett, chief clerk in cbaree
vi poii tax collections, Friday said it
Is very important that poll taxes be
pald this year and that few persons
are aware of how important it is To

les that probably will be held in Sen
tember, 1918, and the congressional
eiections, Mr.. Barrett SAYS there is a
possiDlilty upon which voters without
d poii tax of 1917, will be unable TO
vote. Mr.. Barrett believes there is
d strong possibility of an amendment

the people for either prohibition or
suffrage or both and to vote on such
an amendment if it is placed before
the people in either 1918 or 1919 re.
quires poll tax for 1917.
Mr.. Barrett says, however. that poll
taxes are coming in fairly well now
with some 10000 paid.
A number of women have called at
the city hall during the past month
10 pay poll taxes. OF course they are
not paying for themselves. but thew
come to pay for a father, brother or
husband who may be too busy to go

Simons made a big hit with the
