Dear Sir
Writing at the request of the

express our grateful appreciation Of
the favors which were shown
us upon our departure.
Especially do we wish to thank
the kind ladies of lone, who fur
nished supply of lunch, generous
enough in quantity to furnish our
midday meal, also a lunch late that
night; and of quality which would
cause anyone to conclude that lone
is The Home Of Good C:oks.'
Also We wish 70 thank the Red
Cross for the daace, ami tie Homo
Guards for the lag whith now oc-
cupies prominent position on the
barracks of the 14th Company, where
most of the recently drafted Morrow
county men are at present located.
We are very proud of that flag and
Of Morrow county, for we notice no
other flag among any of the numer-
Gus groups of drafted men.
Cordially,
GUS WILLIAMSON.

Campbell's Band at The Fair.

One of the features of the Fair
this year that should not be missed,
| is Campbell's American Band, which
is composed of artists on every in
strument. The band will give daily
concerts and its programs will all be
of a popular nature. Mr.. Campbell
states that he has with him an un-
limited supply of music and will be
ready to play anything that will be
called for in operatas, descriptive
and popular selections. His request
is that you call for anything you may
desire to have played.
The orchestra which will furnish
the dance music is composed of the
same players who have this summer
furnished the music at Columbia
Beach in Portland. This insures the
best of music for each dance.
To vary the program, Miss
Dorothy Lewis will sing popular
war songs. Miss Lewis is considered
one of the best song artists on the
coast and our people will be for
tunate indeed in this opportunity
offered of hearing her. She will sing
your favorite song, whether it be of
the latest popular variety or the old
time favorites. Don't miss this
feature of the programs.
The Fair opens up under very
favorable auspices and promise of a
good time is made to all by the
management.

has just returned from Portland,

for the past three weeks. He went
down there to take is the G. A. r.
encampment, and he considers this
one Of the greatest events of his life.
He may decide to return to Portland
to spend the winter.
A young man of this place was
taken before Recorder Williams this
week and fined the sum of $25, his
otfense being the turning on of the
fire alarm on the morning of Sept,
1st. This false alarm was the means
of raising the community in a hurry
at about five in the morning, and Of
course caused a lot of indignation
when it was found that it was the
work of some one who thought they
were playing a practical joke. This
young man has learned that the joke
is on the other fellow, and we feel
sure that in the future he will desist
from playing such pranks on this
community. Others were also i'm
plicated, but this boy plead guilty
and would not peach on the balance
of the bunch. We refrain from
mentioning any names this time but
will not promise to do so in the
future, should the act be repeated.
The fire alarm is not a plaything, to
be turned on anytime some fellow
feels in the humor to rouse the
people from their slumbers, and
Judge Williams will not deal lightly
with the miscreants either.

 One of the most active and valuable friends of man is the agile nighthawk which may be seen dartingx about Tn the dusk with an incredible swiftness in pursuit of insects. Yet this piro is almost extinct in some secuons pe- cause hunters like to display thel' craftsmanship by showing they are able to bring down swiftly ilylns bird.
 Nighthawks are so quick on tne wing that few insects can escape them Stomachs of nighthawks have peer found to contain more than 50 varie- ties of injurious insects. Friends o' birds should give this hawk their cs pecial protection.
 The rough-legged hawk is another placed by scientists among the aimos wholly beneficial birds. This DIT, feeds almost exclusively on the small CT rodents. including meadow mice which do incalculable damage to crop. ! and young trees which they gnaw il the winter.

 difficult and awe-inspiring stunt are
 Caldwell, Adams, Mattison, Rowe. Crunip. Chambers, Albrecht, Forbes and
 Nealeans. That other people than Scouts
 are able to eat the hike stews is illus
 trated in No. 5, where just an ordinary
 mortal had been invited to stop and
 "have some" and was caught in the
 act of coming back for his third plate
 full. The insert shows pr, Hagan. one
 of the members of the executive com mittee. He doesn't make much noises
 but when there is a meeting or to take up matters concerning scouting the
 drug business always has to wait for
 awhile.
 Now that the board is all clear and a new race starts is a good time to take stock and see just which members of each troop are holding the troop out of first place and have a little heart-to- heart talk with all such members and show them the error of their ways. The programme suggested for this week is to have a round table discussion for the | good of the troop, every member to sub init plan as to how he thinks the troop 1 can make the greatest success this fall and winter and be of the greatest serv- l ice to Birmingham and Uncle Sam. pDOMREPC,S TROpHY

How much better they must feel than the members of troops who couldn's even be listed as "also rans" This contest also starts again with this week and unless Troop 12 puts in more hours than any other troop in Birmingham on war work that troop will feel that somebody has been taking the joy out of life when they see the cup turned over to rival troop.

was in force in that state, township
 clerk issued certificates for 46 spar
 row hawks which had been killed. The
 clerk examined the stomachs of these
 hawks. and in 45 of them found only grasshoppers and beetles. The other stomach contained the fur and bones of a meadow mouse. Thus the state had been paying for the destruction of birds that were working to help save it's crops.
 Scientists say that the sparrow hawk does occasionally attack chick ems; but so seldom that this offense is as nothing compared with the good the bird does The real offender among the hawks-the one that gives | the family it's bad name-s the 1 cooper's hawk. which is a persistent hunter of chickens and domesticated | doves.
