Chicken hawks are a great menace
to the farmers. as they steal their
chickens, pigeons and other small crea-
lures. The great danger of them, In
France, was of their preventing the
delivery of military messages carried
by pigeons. French children are
taught, In schools, how to catch these
hawks and are paid ten cents each for
every bird and egg of the bird that is
brought in. These hawks resemble an
American eagle and have a wing
spread of three feet. The bird lays
two eggs q year. This photo shows

caught by an American trooper In

is THIS PROFITEERING?

A member of the state board of
agriculture has stated that he knows
the following to be fact, for it
came under his personal observation.
A farmer brought several crates
filled with baskets of huckleberries to
a store in Hartford and disposed of
them at 20 cents per basket. Later
they were placed on sale in that store
at As cents per basket. This is a
profit to the storekeeper of one hun
bred and twenty per cent on his in
vestment
In Boston green corn that sold at
wholesale at rs cents for sixty ears
was being doIed out in restaurants at
fifteen cents per ear. While every
merchant is deserving of fair profit
such exhorbitant profits are a factor
in the present high cost of living.

BODlE SHIFTS
 WITH LEWIS

BrInsviclz. Ga. April 15.-When inc Yankees open the American League season at the Polo Grouhd9 one week from next Wednesday DuiLY Lewis probably will be seen in centre field and Ping Bodie in left Manage Miller Huggins has reached the con- eIusion that this will be a better ar raneement than the one which mas been followed during the training work at Jacksonville, and he plans +o do some experimenting along these lines this week. In all the games a- Jacksonville Lewis was ill left he!o and Bodie in centre.
 Rodle is q better sun fielder than Lewis is, and Lewis is the better out fielder under normal conditions Hug gins has reached the conclusion that the restricted area in left field at the Polo Grounds is better suited to the ground covering abilities of Bodle' and that Duffy will be more valuable in the wider expanse which an out fielder must roam in the middle gar den of the Harlem lot. Neither car ries the speed that is expected of a center fielder, but each uses good judgment in playing opposing bats men.
 The occupant of the right field berth at the start Of the season re- mains in doubt. Halas did so well in the early days of the Jacksonville stay that Huggins about decided to give him the assignment Later Halas showed defects in hitting, which lessened his chances of being a regular when the season opened. He is not out of the race by any means but he does not looTS up as T certainty.
 Wick has been playing the position in recent games against the Dodgers, while Halos has been nursing the charley horse and the place will go to one of these two players. Nick Is a dangerous hitter who is likely to crash the ball to the fence at any time, but he is not a consistent hit ter. In only one of the Brooklyn games has he done any real hit ttnS.

He undoubtedly will be let out to some minor league club before the season opens. An other Is Frank Kane, who Is fast on his feet and a promising player. but he is not yet ready for duty in the majors. This leaves only Lewis. Bodie. Halas and Wick as the out felders destined to stick. Huggins would welcome the opportunity to land hard hitting outfeIder. but can find none for sale who would be an improvement on the men he has

Colonial hall will again be a mecca for basketball fans Of this section. The fast Parsor five from New York will be here for its second clash with the Blue Ribons. The game is expected to develop into one of the fastest of the year, for the two are evenly matched. Leavy has decided to make use of his regular men and will introduce Sedran, Holman, Pow CTS, Ripley and SuiIs and Clinton. Beckman will not don a uniform, his services having been engaged only for the Ansonian series.
 The Parsons come here strongly recommended and with the reputa- tion of having already defeated the locals early in the season. Recently they cinched the championship of New York City by beating the Gotham Celtics. Tom Thorp will referee while Joe Waters will keep the time.
