HAS A BIRD FARM
Takes the Trouble to Build House for
Them on His Place.

tHcfH oH TVS TtASe.
There Is a man In Michigan who
takes the trouble to build comfortable
homes for birds. In March, 1914, +.
A. Stuart began to equip his property
of 1878 acres, near Marshall, as a
bird sanctuary. At the last count he
had set up 1,434 bird boxes In scien-
tiic arrangement so as to realize the
best possible results.
On June Is, 1916, he found 292 bird
families enjoying the hospitality of his
houses. besides the multitudes breed
ing after the native Wild fashion In
the trees, bushes and fields on his es-
tate. Martins, bluebirds, tree swal-
lows. wrens. robins and phoebe birds
are among the varieties In this bird
refuge.
Mr.. Stuart takes great care to in
spect the premises every p days, these
trips of inspection including the exact
number of homes occupied, the num-
Der Of nests, eggs or young, and the
kinds of birds. The houses farther
away from the buildings are more
freely used, especially by tree swal-
lows and bluebirds. At a distance
from the buildings the little bird
houses are mounted on fence posts, or
on iron gas pipe eight or ten feet high.
Others are on the edge OF the wood
land and In the interior of the woods.

PRESIDENTS DUTY
TO SEIZE RAILWAYS,
SAYS |. c. c. MAN

It -: the Presidents plain duty
to take over the American railroad
systems without consulting Congress
when the emergency arose, II disas-
ter was to be avoided.
George w. Anderson, a member of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
hnade this explanation OF the Presi-
dents action to the Senate Inter-
Atats Commerce Committee today. He
had been asked why the railroads
had not themselves been given OPP
portunity to effect a unit system Of
operation
ut became very evident as long
ago As December, 1916, that trans
Dortation neutrality-suspicious. with
regard to coal were utterly made
quate" ne said. "In the 10 per cent
rate case it was very clearly estab-
1ished that rate increases bore no
relation to additional facilities. Even
had the railroads been given addi-
tional revenue they could not have
Increased their facilities without in
terfering with the exports to our al
les.
AT the same time It appears that
the facilities then existing could be
made more nearly to meet the need
IL the railroads were pooled. But
they could not be pooled, for their
officials were duty bound to serve
the separate interests Of separate sets
of security holders.
THE war board undertook an i'm
possible-an unlawful task when Il
announced it's intention to adminis-
ter the roads as a continental sys-
~
lated the Sherman law"
But" Chairman Smith interposed.
suppose they could have been given
a free hand could they not have done
rs well then as under Government
controI7'
mot within a short space Of time.
Had that been attempted disaster
would have resulted" was the an
swer.

Our Plan
LUCIAN l.. LUCAS

Is to bring the Wants-to-
Sell and Wants-to-Buy to-
gether. Those wanting a
certain kind of property are
invited to send us a descrip-
tion of the want. We will ad-
vertise these wants at no cost
to the Wants, except in case
of a sale or a tenant secured,
when a commission will be
expected from the owner of
the property. The name of
the party who wants will be
unknown. This is the most
fair and sure method of sat
isfying a prospective buyer.
Also if properties for sale
are listed with US, we will ad-
vertise them, giving special
advertising and effort to sell
to each individual property;
and satisfactory results by
this plan should be sure. We
do not wait for buyer to
come and ask us to sell him
something; we find and bring
Buyer and Seller together.
