Observation-Disclosures

TO enjoy the woods of old Pulaski for
two or three months now. AS to the
wild fruits they are more abundant
this year than ever before.
Al my place there are but very
few wild animals A few days ago
some one left a cat and two kittens
at my place which did not want
Why do people raise cats, then take
them off and turn them loose on
people who do not want them. If they
must raise them and learn them ell
kinds of mean habits. they should kill
them and not leave it for others tie
DO Well, | did not kill them and
have fed them and treated them
sell The old cat probably thought
she was doing me a great service when
she killed my mouse tt was only
wood mouse and up to the time of tsa
coming of the cats had never done
the slightest harm to any of my pos
sessions, thought there We're apples,
potatoes, sack of flour and other
things rats and mice usually injure,
this little mouse never took one
mouthful of any of them.
| have noticed squirrel nests in the
trees near my house since earyl in
the summer, but never could see a
squirrel, though | think l would occa-
sionally hear their barking. A neigh
Dor was certain they were flying
squirrels. Yesterday heard ore
barking low at the cats, but / could
not see It. The only noise I ever
knew a flying squirrel to make was
a squeak, so l got down my book on
natural history but though it had
quite lengthy chapter on flying
squirrels never word did it say
about their voices. I have looked in
these books before to find out things
concerning nature but they ALWAYS
fail to tell what look for. l wonder
if nature books are all written by ma
ture takers. or are their authors deaf
SO that they never hear what the ami
mails have to say?
Getting thirsty ! started to Fhe
spring for a drink Of water. On the
y.av | met the old cat coming with a
frll grown quail for her kittens.

ISLAND TREATY
Anglers JAPAN
fBy Associated Press)

h00O~40SOA
LONDON. Jan. 3O.-In q late edi-
ton. the Mail prints report from its
correspondent in Paris. who writes
that the treaties between England and
Japan relative to the islands In the
northern Pacific. with the Arabs re-
garding Syria, and the understanding
with France as to the future status
Of Kamerun must be arbitrarily modi-
fed II not torn up.
THE Japanese delegates are angry
and alarmed and declare their unal-
terable determination to claim. the
island, as promised" the correspond
emit says and adds: These islands
are really the crux OF the whole situa-
ton
"The Australians" the correspond
ent continues, believe President VIII
sons firm stand In this matter Is due
to his fear that Japanese occupation
OF the islands would impair his pres
tige in the United States, and that he
fears to meet hostile congress In
March IL he agrees to the absolute re-
tention of the islands by japan.
Italian delegates frankly avow
their claims to Fiume and insist that
the promise of part OF the Dalmatian
coast stipulated in the pact OF Lon
don, must be made good. They de-
clare that President Wilson's attitude
regarding Finme directly contradicts
his declaration of the rights of peo-
pies outlined in his fourteen points,.
