Above the felds OF clover,
As sound OF signing cypress trees;
Or. as the soprowing exile ices
The low lamsntins Of the seas
Between Calais and Dover
Yet, while the Indian stream flows on,
Sort as the song OF dying swan.

Robert OF Lincoln.

In years gone by September was
the opening Of the season for reed
birds or riceblrds in New Jersey,
pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
the District Of Columbia, Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia. Shooting was permitted in
these States throughout September
and October. This year, for the first
time, the reedbird or ricebird, which
Is another name for our CHEEKY friend
the bobolink, has been put on the Fed.
eral list Of migratory insectverous
birds, which means a perpetual closed
sea son.
The bobollnk, ricebird, reedbird,
call him what you will, Is a common
summer resident Of the United States
north Of about latitude 40 degrees and
from New England westward to the
great plains, wintering beyond our
southern border. In New England
there are few birds about which ro-
nance hangs as it does about this
rollicking songster. naturally associ-
ated with sunny June meadows: but
in the South there Is none on whose
head so many maledlctions have been
heaped. This Is on account Of his
fondness for rice.
According to +. E. L. BEAL, assist
ant biologist Of the Biological Sur.
vey OF the Department of Agriculture,
during his sojourn In the Northern
States the bobolink feeds mainly upon
insects and seeds Of useless plants !;
but while rearing the young, insects
constitute its chief food and almost
the exclusive diet of its brood. After
the young are able to fly the whole
family gathers into small flock and
begins to live almost entirely upon
vegetable food.
This consists for the most part of
weed seeds. since in the North these
birds do not appear to attack grain
to any great extent. They eat a few
oats, but their stomachs do not reveal
a great quantity of this or any other
grain. AS the season advances they
gather into larger fiocks and move
southwark, until by the end of Au-
gust nearly all have left their breed
Ing grounds. On their way they fire.
quent the reedy marshes about the
mouths Of rivers and on the inland
waters Of the coast region and subsist
largely upon wild rice.
Formerly. when the low marshy
shores Of the Carolinas and some Of
the more southern States were de-
voted to rice culture. the bobollnks
made great inroads upon the sprout-
ing rice in spring and upon the rip
ening grain on their return migration
in the fall. South Carolina as far
back as ITO passed law Offering
bounty for destruction Of the bird.
With a change in the rice raising dis
tricts in recent years this damage Is
no longer done.
In putting the bobolink upon the
songbird list the trainers of the reg
ulations evidently had in mind the
habits Of the ricebird, and IL it hap
pens that bird under extraordinary
conditions becomes injurious to agri.
cultural interests the Department Of
Agriculture will make an lnvestlga-
ton to determine the nature and
extent OF the damage, and decide
whether the birds should be killed
and IL so at what times and by
what means. Upon the determination
Of the Secretary Of Agriculture an APP
propriate order will be issued. Mean
while there Is long life ahead for Rob
ert of Lincoln.

POEMS WORTH READING.



Whose hearts are beating low.
And learn the things your war lords
Do not dare to let ye know.
Learn that you bleed and suffer
To prop q brigand's throne.
Round which your lustine master br,ites
Like poison weed have grown.
They have blundered In their murder
bund:
They have played your lives and lost
They have cheated you and beggared
you
Yet must you pay the cost.
They have set the world against you
Tho world that's in the sun.
Baptized in blood, they've given you
The savage name of Hun.
Hear ye, German people,
Whose backs are stung with whips
BY the brutal junkers welded
Till your thin blood spurts and drips.
You have sung before your butchers;
You have knelt and kissed the rods
When they lied that you were winning
'Gainst the piled up human odds.
They have taught you to be frightfui :
That no reckonings to pay:
To slay the sick. be mefciless
TO victims Of the fray.
They have starved you, and you gioried.
''oh. come" you cried, the hour
When our master brutes shall lead u
To the superseats Of power.
Tho with blood our backs be streaming,
And our dead be round US piled
We shall laugh tho while We murder
The woman and the child.
We shall cash and mutilate them
They shall tremble at our name
TIL we shake the topmost capstone
On the pinnacles of Fame"
You have gloated. German people,
When the Master Brute Of all
Mid your battleslain in millions.
Lifted up the bloody pail
And cried: The murdered women,
The devastated homes
Are not your women Slaughtered
Are not your ravaged homes.
Then. strike still for your Kaiser,
Ye srunting German swine.
Our German God has said a.:
Your lives. your souls are mine"
30. still you worship Murder,
Tho mad. distorted god.
whose high priest 10 the Master Brute
Who stamps you to the clod.
Still tho he fools and mocks you
As his footing falls and sips
In the puddles Of your bleeding
You hang craven on his lips
Hear We. German people.
How our victor cries resound,
We're massing to encompass ye
And smite We to the ground:
To take the toll OF bestial deeds.
Your depths OF nameless crime,
And hold ye slaughtered and accursed,
The pilloried Of time:
To wave high DER your cities
The red avenging nre.
TIL the ravens shall be glutted
On your corpses in the nire.
Hear We, German people.
Ye stand before the bar
or the great accusing Conscience
That will Judge ye as you are.
Would We be held as human
There 10 but one road for "
Wherein to gain asylum
From the vengeance Of the free.
1t is the Road OF Freedom
Wherein but freemen tread
Who have stamped upon their war lords,
And whose master brutes are dead.
We want no German land loot,
Wed have no German slaves
II ye do purge your fatherland
OF tyrants, brutes and knaves;
The war that rolls in thunder
Shall die TO sudden calm,
And even ye may Join mankind
In the freeman's mighty psalm
But choose We must what road yen
take
The road OF peace or fight,
The road OF slaves, the freeman's road.
The Red Road or the White.
