United States In the world war, the
American Red Cross perceived the
value of mobilizing the school children

Cross was organized. Before the war
ended nine million children were en-
rolled and helped In the war fund
and membership campaigns, In chap
ter production Of relief supplies and
manufacturing furniture for the ref
ugees whose homes and household
goods were destroyed.
Children everywhere in the United
States responded to the call to serv-
ice sounded by President Wilson as
head Of the American Red Cross

SOUTHWEST HARBOR.

Sunday morning at the Meth odist
church, the pastor, Rev. T. L. Blaisdell, at
the request Of the national committee Of
the American Legion, arranged a fine
service in honor of the returned soldiers
and sailors, fifteen or twenty being seated
in the front of the crowded church, all Of
whom will be charter members OF a post
at Southwest Harbor. Special singing by
a male quartette, with Mrs. James Scott
at the organ, followed the opening re-
sponsive reading and prayer. A excellent
sermon on the ideals of American de-
mocracy, as embodied by the principles
OF this organization devoted to the in
terests of loyalty to our stars and stripes
and to all that is best and true in patriot
ism and comradeship, a thrilling appeal
to these defenders of democracy to be-
come ''soldiers Of the cross" was given.

PROTECT THE SONG BIRDS
Sound Advice Which Is az Applicable

Our songbirds are now on their way

out these birds the insects would "eat

In an article on the protection Of
wild life Jack Miner condsnses the
whole case into a single paragraph.
He takes the robin as the representa-
tive Of our winged allies In the war
fare against insects and worms, and he
states his case in this fashion:
Now what good Is the robin? Ev-
erybody knows the robin. A boy came
along the road with a % rife, saw a
robin sitting there, and killed 1t. I
went over and picked the robin up.

Adams was moose hunting with J. B.
Smith when they came across male
and female moose feeding. The fe-
male Is protected by law. Both shot
at the bull moose, but the bullets had
little effect. The bull moose started
to run and Adams ran after the AMI
NAL shooting when opportunity pre-
scented.
One bullet so angered the moose
that it turned and charged the hunt
er. Adams, seeing the animal COM
ing his way, also turned and ran.
The moose gained and was snorting
with rage when Smith, taking care
full aim, toppled the animal over.
When they examined the moose II bull
let's were found in the carcass. The
animal dressed about 600 pounds. The
antlers were preserved.

When considering the erection Of

Many farmers are now considering

the design shown in the accompany.

sufficient to house II cows and eight

floor is set off for the cows = the front
part for the horses and their equip

runs the feed alley, with an overhead
carrier track that runs to the silo
chute. On either side Of the barn
is the litter alley. Connected with the
center carrier track is another that
runs over boSl alleys, SO that the
manure can easily be taken to the pit

On either side of the COW stable are
six stalls, while in the horse barn are
four stalls and two box stalls. The
latter can be turned into single stalls,
should the owner desire. The floor
Of this building is of concrete, with
cutters at the rear of the stalls to
make cleaning easy. The cows are
faced In, SO that their backs are to
the light.
Sunshine and fresh air, together
with a good supply Of fresh water, are
what cows require to be kept at the
