Question:
Do migratory birds travel during
the day or at night? Do the main
body of birds follow a given course ?
Minneapolis. II. L. T.
Answer:
The migratory flight is on both
day and night. In many instances
their fight is virtually continuous
stopping only for feeding purposes
Yes. you will find that migratory
birds will follow an outlined course
leaders directing the way. 1t has
been my observation that the main
body of the birds will follow the
streams where there is the best mast
or feed; when il is found that there
is an abundance of mast or pin
oaks or a liberal crop of grass seed
in the bayous adjacent to streams
running south like the Mississippi or
Missouri there will always be a good
flight of ducks.

est was displayed, Frank Cosgrove
leads the league with a clean slate,
while John Vermande and Walter
Miller are close on his heels, each
having lost one game.
The attendance at these games
has been good, and those who are
not in the tournament seem to get
plenty of enjoyment out of the
games by selecting a player whom
they root for throughout the contest.
And il is not a case of everybody

ticular player for whom they pull
The warmest contest of the week
was that between "Alibi Joe" Hull
and DRY Stick" John Vermande.
The latter was sweeping all before
him until he tackled "Alibi joe"
who gave him the surprise of his
young life by winning decisively.
Vermande is now out with a chal-
lenge to Joe. and claims that it will
not happen again.
According 70 dope, Frank Cos

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 1.-The coun-
try is taking a new lease of life in
all athletic contests, and along with
the resurrection comes the game of
tenpins. which was quietly moving
along during the war period.
Unusual activities are being dis
played in all big bowling centers in
the middle west. and a big turnout is
assured for the Toledo tournament
which is 10 be held during the
month OF March.
Toledo will enter over 200 teams
in the tournament and with Chicago
entering 100 teams, these two cities
alone would make a fairly good
tournament. However, other cities
knowing that the foundation is
there. are anxious to get under the
wire with a big representation and
cities like Detroit with 60 to rs
teams, Will surely count in the finals,
as they did last year when Charles
Styles pounded the naples at Gin
cinnati for a huge count of 702 pins
and his entry is already in for the
tournament with the Rivals of De-
troit. who present a formidable
lineup.
The worlds champions, who bowl
ed a score of 1922 at Cincinnati last
February, will be on hand again this
year with the same name, Aquilla
Cigars, and st. Paul is expecting
them to make a good showing with
a possible chance to repeat
Fred Thomas and Harry Steers OF
Chicago, who mauled the naples for
worlds record at Cincinnati,
gathering 1885 pins. will be on the
drives again, and will make the con-
testants worry, as they are really the
class Of the middle west in bowling
circles. and always have been good
bowlers. This is the second time
that Steers has galloped away with
the two-men event, as away back in
1902, at Buffalo, he had a partner
by the name of Mclean, and they
won the championship with a score
Of 1897. showing that in 16 years
he grew better each year, and in
1913 at Cincinnati. gathered with his
partner 1885, or los pins better
than at Buffalo in 1902. Steers car
ried the heavy guns at Cincinnati.
marking up us TO his partners go,
and then he came right back in the
individual event with SIS pins, which
was some showing
Eddie Hermann of Cleveland,
who still holds the "all-event'' rec
ord with 1872, which he totaled at
Toledo. in the 1913 tournament, has
forwarded his entry from Cleveland
and will bowl with the Standard
Parts team from that city, which
was one of the early entries.
Many entries have been received,
and they are coming in rapidly, with
all the Saturday and Sunday dates
practically gone, tho balance of the
entrants will be obliged to take mid
week dates. However, this has never
stopped the bowlers from entering
and the officials are looking for a
big entry of probably $50 teams.
which will make a huge turnout of
pin knights.

Omsk, April 16. - Indisputable
evidence of the massacre by the
Bolsheviki of more than 1000 civil
lians in and near the town of Osa,
has been obtained by Messrs. SIM
monds and Emerson and DR.. Ru-
dolph Teusler, of the American Red
Cross, who have just returned from
Perm, Osa and other reoccupied Rus
sian territory. Approximately five
hundred persons were killed at Osa
and 1900 in the surrounding dis
trictS.
Osa, which had a population OF
10000, was so denuded of males by
the Bolsheviki, that General Casa
grande, upon the occupation of the
town, was obliged to telegraph to
Ekaterinburg for men to admins
ter civic affairs.
Victims Buried i'm Trenches
In addition to securing verbal and
documentary evidence the American
Red Cross officials witnessed the en-
huming of scores of victims from
trenches, where they were buried
some times several deep in graves
revealed by the digging of dogs. The
murders were without provocation,
and the victims were largely of the
thrifty and intelligent classes of SER
wants of the church, which latter 1t

Bolsheviki to eXterminate.
The evidence discloses almost un-
thinkable atrocities. A blacksmith,

has already been blockaded for five
years"
What does Russia need now?"
asked the reporter.
Bolsheviks Like Autocrats
why, the cities of the North,
which are not agricultural. need food
and l may lay down general line
of conduct for the allies: Feed Rus
sia instead of fighting her. Like a
man in decline physically. Russia is
now too weak to fight off the germs
of disease of Bolshevism. The world
does not know the facts about this
country which my father so loved.
There is vast intelligence among the
peasants, every one of whom un-
derstand selfgovernment This was
always hindered by the Romanoffs.
and that is why they were killed.
There is no doubt in my mind that
they have been killed, notwithstand-
ing reports to the contrary. The
Bolsheviki are like the autocrats;
they have not understood the pop
ular desire.
What Russia needs now is to he
let alone: provided with food and
railroad facilities for distributing it,
Do not fear these supplies getting
into the hands of the Bolsheviki.
When fed, even they, will become
human creatures again and glad to
return to the fold.
1T may not be common knowl-
edge that 50 per cent. of the Rus
slams are peasants and they have al
ways had elf-government. Each
community elected its own officials
and no nation on earth will more en-
joy a government of the people by
the people and for the people.
The German, influence is still felt
in its supporting the Bolshevilli. who.
however, represent only one or two
per cent. of the bulk of the people.
Germany aims to destroy Russia in
order to get control of it's markets.
do not mind saying that England
is accused of the same motive"
is there one big man in Russia to
lead you to Republicanism 3"
Bolshevism Burning Out
NO: he has not appeared vet.
/ Bolshevism has been Irving so far on
what was accumulated; everything is
eaten now, and all are finding they
cannot continue this life in this way,
Like a fire, there is nothing more TO
burn, so it goes out.
Siberia is leading the way fighting
as she is for her constitution and an
ultimate republic. And the peasants
will save Russia. All own their own
houses, % per cent. own individual
land. and the rest live on land
handled by communities"
What was the secret of the Boil

The secret was the fact that they
were the only people organized in
the big cities. They had the armies,
but they will not hold them one
minute if the allies send in food.
Russia will be a republic"

similar manner.
A woman whose husband and two
sons had been seized, was informed
that If she bothered again she would
be shot, as they had been. Another
woman was compelled to fetch
lamp and gaze upon her murdered
sons for the amusement of the slay-
ers.
A wife. required to pay thou
sand rubles for the release of her
husband, borrowed eight hundred
and paid it over; later she returned
with the remainder and was then
informed that her husband had been
shot.
A survivor testified that he had
seen men thrown into a pit and
buried alive. This testimony has
been confirmed by bodies exhumed,
the clenched hands of which were
clinging to the mud at the bottom Of
the pit.
The only spark of humanity dis
covered was that in confiscating the
belongings of the residents, in some
instances where there was a family
of small children, the family was
permitted to retain one COW out of
several. Occasionally a peasant was
allowed to keep his least valuable
horse.
The Bolshevik attitude toward the
church was uncompromising Priests
were hunted numerically.
In the Perm district everything of
value was stolen from the churches,
the monastery was looted and sew
eral priests were murdered. nsome
places the schools continue, but reli-
gious teaching is barred.
Careful inquiry. the American oh
servers say. showed that there. was
nothing constructive in any town un-
