WAR ON CROWS
f. " URGED BY STATE
(By Carlos Avery)

Conserve the Grain, Protect the
Game, Remove the 'Caws'.''
The above slogan is sweeping over
the state like wildfire this spring, and
If old Jim Grow could add knowledge
OF the alphabet to his other human-like
attributes he'd hang his head in black
despair as he reads of the campaigns
being inaugurated that will eventually
almost eradicate his dark shadow from
the bright, vernal Minnesota landscape.
If there were but "little bit of bad
in every good little crow the black
guards face would be safe, but un-
fortunately for him, the farmers and
sportsmen are commencing to realize
that words Of this popular song should
be reversed in. his case because there
is only a ''little Bit of good in every
bad little crow
The crow undoubtedly destroys a
large amount of insects, but they are
not featured on his diet until mid
simmer, in fact, not until the song and
game birds are through nesting. He
was at one time accredited with being
a useful scayenger, but the modern
farmer, knowing that the germs of the
dreaded hoof and mouth disease, hog
cholera, CHAMBERS, ETC., are lurking in.
countless numbers in every decaying
bit of carrion, look on his visits to their
farmyards with dread and apprehen-
sion. :
Crows do not confine their hunting to
small areas on the contrary they scour
the country for miles around their nest
ing grounds. They search tirelessly the
prairies, the forests, the brush and the
marsh, for the eggs and the young of
the useful insectivorOus birds and the
game birds.
They show. an almost uncanny in
telligence in their ability to ferret out
the nests and memOrize their locations
The willy black demons will drop into
meadows and fields near where numer-
GUS quail are nesting and industriously
start on a bug hunt. Let a mother
quail. leave her nest, however, for a
warm dust bath or a cool drink Of
spring water and the black shadows of
that crow will darken the little nest
and the rayenous maws of the ugly
crow babes will be filled with the con-.
tents Of fresh quail eggs, young quail
in the embryo stage, and even young
quail themselves. Newly Matched quail,
because of their precociousness, proba-
bly, are able to evade the fate that be-
falls the helpless young Of the song
birds.
The sustenance Of the young of in
sectivorous birds is composed almost
wholly Of insects, and they require
such an enormous amount that the
parent birds are forced to spend prac-
stically the entire day insect hunting,
leaving their young unprote The
crows wake through the underbrush
and hedge rows and prairie is strewn
with devastated birds homes. The loss
to agricult ural interests in this whole
sale destruction of useful bird-life is
appalling to one who knows the insect
destroying capabilities Of the song

The prairie chicken suffers severely
from the crows depredations and. the

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
MEN AND WOMEN AND LOVE.

BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

| have received a letter from a wom-
who frankly admits that she pos
sesses a model husband, according to
all the rules and specifications laid down
for Judging these rare animals. she
says that he Is moral and sober, and In
dustrious, generous and kind, a good
provider, sweet tempered and amiahle,
and easy to get along with.
Nevertheless the lady finds matri-
mony dust and ashes in her teeth, and
has decided that she is mismated be-
cause her married life has no thrills in
T. Her complaint against her husband
Is that he takes their mutual love and
happiness for granted, He does hts
part Of the work Of making a happy
share, and he thinks, In his artless
masculine way, that that Is all there is
TO II, and that his wife should be o N
tented and satisfied as he is.
or course from any logical standpoint
the man Is right, and any woman who
has a good, kind husband and a good,
comfortable home deserves to be shak-
en- until her teeth rattle for not appre-
ciating her blessings. but, alas, women
and logic have seldom even n bowling

has no right to be miserable doesn't

mate grief OF her own,
Now the sorrow that leads all other
sorrows In the feminine procession of
woes Is the fear OF losing . husband 5
love, or the obsesslon that II has al
ready been lost. OF the belief Of a
woman that she has missed her soul
mate, TO hear the o that women
emit on this subject you would think
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-11-07

that every man was u faithless rover,
and every woman was nursing a bFok-
en- heart, and hiding a secret sorrow.
All OF which is rank nonsense, The
average stout, bald headed, middle
aged man is every whit as faithful to
his Maria as she is TO him. and is just
as little inclined 10 roam away from his
hearthstone, When he sits up OF an
evening with a far away expression in
his eyes he Is not thinking OF the lure
OF Namps, but Of how he can make a
turn In stocks SO AS to set mother the
car she has set her heart on, or raise
The money for the boys college eN-
penses. More than that, he still thinks
his Maria the paragon of her sex, and
hrags TO his friends OF her, cooking, and
her thrift, n the swath she cuts in
society and the women's clubs.
But the trouble Is that he doesn't
tell Maria what he thinks OF her. He
doesn't enthuse over everything that
she does, nor have Mysteries OF admira-
ton every time she beats the butcher,
or makes an apple pie, Nor does he
continually assure her that his affec-
ton Is still normal,
To do so would seem silly, and a
work OF Superrokation for the man.
Why should he be forever telling a
woman that he loves her when she can
see for herself that he Is giving every
minute OF his life TO proving II. by
working himself to death to Keep her
soft and comfortable Why should he
be eternally proclaiming that she ~ the
only woman in the world to him when
he has never noticed a skirt since hers

Uncle Wiggily looked al the molasses

looked at the loose. dried leaves all
about him under the trees,
Il think | know what to do" softly
said Mr., Longears.
Carefully he took the cork out OF the
molasses jug, lie poured some of the
sticky stuff on the leaves, Then he
slyly stuck the leaves all over himself,
from the top Of his silk hat to the bot
tom OF his shoes, which he wore on his
paws In winter.
Now | don't believe he'll know me-"
said the bunny, as he stuck more leaves
on the outside Of the molasses Jug. II
must look Hike a pile of leaves all ready

Covered as he was by the sticky
leaves. so that not eve his pink, twink

wanted TO laugh, but didn't dare. Soon
he was safely at home, having fooled
the baboon with the molasses. Nurse
Jane helped wash the sticky stuff off
the bunny and then she made the mo-

said II was Just dandy. And the ba-

II doesn't occur to the man to worry
over whether his middle-aged wife IL
falling in love with some lounge liz
ard, young enough to be her son. or
whether she loves him less because he
hasn't the ambrosial locks nor slim
expect his wife to pity him because he
has TO so to work every day, or TO
consider him a martyr because he has
to bear the responsibilities of life.
In a word, a man takes Il for granted
that his wife still. loves him, and that
she enjoys doing her duty IN the fam
lily relationship as he enjoys doing his,
to take anything foI granted, She
must have continually an object lesson
before her ewes. She must have the
perpetual glad hand, She must be for

Of his admiration. OF hts pity for her,

small effort to a husband to devise
some little treat for his wife to show
her that he still had her pleasure As
much AT heart as he did in the days
Of courtship. II would take but a
breath to pay his wife a compliment
about her looks. or the dish she has
spent hours In connecting for his delec-
