Bird in Timepiece Made in Germany

John G. Wagner, jeweler Of Vim
cennes, Ind, has the distinction of be.
ing the first Indianian to naturalize
the bird in a "cuckoo clock made in
Germany Immediately after the
war was declared when his son enlist
ed in Battery e, One Hundred and
Fiftieth Field Artillery, Mr.. Wagner
stopped the clock, contending that the
'scuckoo" was Germany's national bird.
The clock failed to operate for a
long time until recently. Mr.. Wagner
spent many hours in rebuilding it and
finally completely Americanized the
bird, which now says Bob White" in
stead of Cuckoo
AS soon as the announcement was
made, number Of Vincennes people
who are owners of the "made in Ger
many cuckoo clocks" crowded Mr..
Wagner's store and ordered their

LOST LIP IN BATTLE
NOW HAS new one
New York Officer the Subject Of
an Interesting Operation
in England.

A surgeon has played q trick on
Lieut. Clement G.. Felt of Olean, N. Y.
But the lieutenant is not angry about
it. In fact, he is one of the happiest
men in London. He was hit by a shell
on September 20 in the terrible battle
between Cambria and st. Quentin,
when the Hindenburg line was broken.
He lay unconscious in a shell hole,
nobody knows how long. He doesn't.
When he came to himself, he found
that he was wounded in the hip, in the
hand, and also that his lower lip had
been blown away. He was taken to
hospital and examined by surgeon,
who, in due course placed him under
an anesthetic and made him new
lip. The work was so perfectly done
that even the lieutenant's own mother
would never detect that the present Lip
is the second one that her son has
worn. All that remains to show that
he was wounded in the mouth is a
slight scar, just badge Of honor.
: Lieutenant Felt often wondered
where the new flesh came from that
went to his face. Was it taken from
the anatomy Of some generous colonel,
or major general? Was it contribu-
ton Of some pretty young English
maiden? That was what he hoped
most Of all. Lieutenant Felt is bach
elor. But, alas, it wasn't. Only the
other day came the disillusionment
The bandages Of his own left hand,
which he thought had been damaged
by the shell, were unwrapped. Then
he discovered the trick the surgeon had
played upon him while he was under
the influence Of the ether. There was
a deep cut in the hand. That was
the new lip.

American birds did their part in the
war by aiding in food conservation, ac-
cording to the annual report Of tho
National Association of Audubon So
cieties.
Herbert g. Hoover, as food admins
traitor, had asked the American people
to protect the insect eating and mi
gratory birds.
Increased acreage under cultivation
very naturally means more insects in
turn and the need Of more birds to
combat Them" says the Audubon So
cieties' report. "Hence there has been
a still greater need for Audubon serv-
ice, which through it's many agencies
supplies information and through it's
wardens is protecting bird life"
Investigate Pelican.
T.. Gilbert Pearson, executive head
Of the association, at the request Of
the food administration went to the
Southern Atlantic coast to investigate
a complaint that the brown pelican was
destroying valuable food fish and there
fore should be exterminated. His in
vestigation in the pelican colonies from
Mexico to Key West showed the re-
ports libelled the pelican clan. He
says the $4,000 odd adult pelicans in
those colonies prey entirely on fish
that is not eaten by man and which
are destructive to the young Of mar
ketable species.
Another complaint was that the sea
gulls were despoiling the sheep rang
on the islands off the coast Of Maine.
An agent of the association investigate
ing the report found that on the con-
trary the gulls were Of material aid
in increasing vegetation.
The association was active in pre-.
venting the destruction of the klamath
and Malheur bird reservations in Ore
gon and California, which were to have
been dismantled and drained on the
plea that they were needed for farming
purposes. The birds which took refuge
there in the breeding season were
shown to be. valuable conservators of
grain and fruit, justifying the use OF
the land as a reserve.
Practical Use of Bird Life.
n. X. Job, in charge of the depart.
ment Of applied ornithology,'a at his ex.
detrimental bird farm at Amaton Conn.,,
made important investigations showing
the practical use Of bird life and dis.
tributed his knowledge to landowners
through writings and lectures.
The work of the association will be
aided by the passage of the enabling
act Of the migratory bird treaty, which
will afford means of protecting birds
on their way from the United States
to Canada. It is expected that the act
will become law now that world peace
will permit more determined cam.

Automobile Tops Is A
New Industry For Heppner

Heppner has another new industry
which gives promise of growing to
large proportions. 1t is that of max
ing automobile tops and repairing old
or damaged ones. Bert P. Stone,
better known as "Stoney" has pur-
chased the harness business from E.
G. Noble and will continue at the old
stand. He recently returned from
Walla Walla, where he received a
number of weeks thorough instruc-
tion in the manufacture of auto tops,
and having been in the harness max
ing business for years, handling
leather goods, his new line comes to
him easy. Mr. Noble will continue
to turn out the celebrated Noble sad
die, devoting his entire time to the
saddle making business. While the
two businesses Of saddles and harness
making have been completely divorc-
ed, their individual owners will con-
tinue at the old Noble stand on Main
street, where extensive improve
ments have recently been made to
care for the ever increasing trade.

keen interest and there appears to be
no doubt but that practically the en-

weather when it is anticipated that
the poison will be put in the corrals,
nine men will be engaged to go over
the territory and see that it is put on
promptly and while around the settle

to assist. The United States Biolog-
ical Survey agent will be in Morrow
county during the next week and
special instruction will be given re-
garding the latest methods Of fixing
the poison. The various localities are
planning a splendid program of work
for the coming year. good committees

of the communities plans for regular
monthly meetings are going forward
