Outcast Among Birds.

There is one bird which will not take
advantage of bird houses. This is the
American cowbird, which is something
Of an outcast among the feathered
tribe. This bird never has a nest of
its own, even of the most humble char
ncter, and she studiously shuns oil
the worries of parenthood by deposit
ing her eggs in the convenient nest OF
any other bird. There they are Matched
along with the natural owners of the
bird home, and demand In many cases
the lions share of attention, as they
are large, strong birds, and frequently
outgrow the foster mother not only in
size, but in her ability to feed her

Self-E Steem,

Nearly always human being is able

him from an utter loss Of self-esteem,
no matter how reprehensible his con-

the men who traffic in women attempt
to Justify themselves to themselves. A
man who is without self-esteem for any
considerable period Of time is likely to
commit suicide. Remorse is essential

one Of the foremost playwrights OF

said that none OF these achieved more
enduring fame than "On the Quiet"
which, since its production in New

the stage at intervals with unvarying
success.
None Of the charm Of the play has
been lost in its perturbation and it is
said to supply John Barrymore with
opportunities Of the most brilliant
description. That he has not failed to
take advantage of these is certainty.
This is Mr.. Barrymore's second plunge

CHRISTMAS PACKAGES.
Instructions as to Sending of Gifts
to Soldiers in France.

OF course every one OF our 2,0O0 900
soldier boys in France will be remem b. red
at Christmas by the folks at hcme. They
must be. But to transport to them across
the seas the gifts with which they would
be flooded is too big task even for the
United States without serious interference
with war activities, and that must NOT be
allowed.
So it is that the government has made
definite rules to govern the shipment of
Christmas parcels. In the first place, but
one parcel may be sent to each soldier,
Christmas parcel labels are being dis
tributed to tine boys in France to be
mailed to the folks at home. Each will
receive but one In bel. and only packages
with this official label will be sent. The
la beis will begin to arrive here bout Nov.
1. No Christmas parcels can be mailed
later than Nov. 20.
The person receiving this label will
present it at the nearest Red Cross head
carton or container for gifts, 3x4x9 inches
in size. This is the limit of size for pack
ages. A lost label cannot be replaced. A
lost label means no parcel.
The container may be filed with any
combination OF articles, except certain
articles rred. OF this more wilt be said
next week. The packages must not ex-
ceed two pounds fifteen ouns es in weight.
When packed, ready to be wrapped, they
must be taken to Red Cross headquarters
for inspection.
Further details will be printed next week.
Mrs. Henry M. Hall of Ellsworth is
chairman OF the county committee on
soldier boys Christmas packages, and
will answer inquiries.

What Liberty Bonds Do.

In leafiet recently issued by the Ma
tional Woman's Liberty Loan committee,
the question is asked: How is the govern
ment of the United States spending the
proceeds OF the sale OF liberty bonds? The
answer is as follows:
In loans to the governments of our Allies,
the principal to be repaid at a specified date,
and interest as agreed upon. This money is
largely spent in the United States in payment
for supplies ordered here by the allied gov
ernments.
Liberty bonds pay for ships-transports for
troops. destroyers to guard them, and to help
rid the seas of submarines, merchant vessels
to carry supplies to our men in France and
food to onr Allies.
Liberty bonds buy aeroplsnes and hydro
aeroplanes for use in battle. for bombing,
and for patrol.
Liberty bonds train our army and navy.
They maintain cantonments and camps.
They provide food, clothing, arms and equip
ment.
Liberty bonds pay the salaries of officers
aud men in the army and navy, and the al
lowances to their families.
Liberty bonds pay to the family of the
soldier or sailor who suffers death or dis
ability, adequate insurance as arranged by
Congress.
Liberty bonds provide all possible safe
guards for our men in action.
Liberty bonds maintain hospitals for
wounded men in France and in the United
States. They train in useful activities men
permanently disabled by wounds. They pay
the salaries of all doctors and nurses serving
in government hospitals caring for our SOL
diers and sailors at home and in France.
Is anything palmer than the duty of
every citizen who can, and yet has not
bought liberty bond? Not only .Remem-
ber the Lusitania," but remember the

balance.
