in is not a songbird, and is therefore
fair game. He is a songster, how
ever, even in our inhospitable region,
although he sings more and more
sweetly in the states to the north of
us, beginning with our sister Caro-
lima. But even if he did not sing
as he leisurely retraces his secret
labyrinthine ways, we might spare
his exquisite song for those who ap-
preciate it and whom it cheers from
early spring till late autumn.
If the construction of local laws
leaves the Robin a prey of the sport
ing men and boys, there is, we be-
lieve, federal law that is supposed
to protect him. 1t was put in the
statutes for precisely such an emer-
gency as this. It is to protect mi
gratory birds from slaughter on their
autumn and spring voyages for food
or comfort. The very name (scien-
tifc) of our Robin declares him to
be under the protection of the fed
eral law-"M -"Merula migratoria".
To us the Robin is a nomad, hon.
oring and delighting us with only
brief visits, not denying US, however,
some of his sweetest notes. His lit
tie song-measure is at the other end
of the scale from the fast-vanishing
Bluebird's mournful, almost weirdly
plaintive song. The Robins early
morning call is the sweetest and most
exhilarating reveille that Nature
sends to US, inviting US to witness
the glory of the New Day, which is
always a revelation, mirage of the
first perfect morning.
No man or boy, who once hears
that cheering call to earth and the
woods, can ever wish to slay the
singer.-The State.

CUT THE COTTON ACREAGE,

Ndlsc NoEc E0oo oho oSa'
Clemson College, Feb.-Mr. David
R. Coker, puts the present agricul-
tural situation Of the South in nut
shell in the following words:
"I feel quite confident that the de-
mand for cotton is going to gradu-
ally increase as legitimate trade con-
ditions are restored throughout the
world and that as soon as there is a
normal world demand for cotton
goods, there will be sale for a very
large amount of cotton at profitable
prices. It is meanwhile evident
however, that the present crop plus
the surplus carried over is going to
be more than the world needs before
the crop comes in and there is but
one program by which the farmer
can protect himself and assure fai1
prices for the cotton he now holds
and the crop he is about to raise. II
can be expressed in a short sentence
"Cut cotton acreage and raise
more food and feed"

of the old ballads, "the Children OF
the Wood" the Robin covers the lit
tie pair with leaves:
No burial this pretty pair
Of any man receives,
Till Robin Redbreast painfully
Did cover them with leaves.
In other ballads the wren some
times takes a part in such charitable
burials in the forest, but the Robin is
always present. John Webster, in
his play, "The White Devil" speaks
of the "Robin Redbreast and the
Wren," who with leaves and flow
ers do cover the friendless bodies of
unburied men,"
So we have good cause, outside of
his own loveliness and enchanting
song and dear comradeship, for low
ing the Robin.
It is, we know, very tempting to
try shot at these birds-they offer
such plain targets, with their beau
tiful ruddy breasts! By the way,
they were formerly, and still often,
called "Ruddocks" in England. We
heard a man say the other day, when
a protest was made against shooting
Robins: "But have you ever eaten
Robin-pie?" We have, but we shall
never do it again, knowingly.
There is no telling what we won't
slay and eat, when the great game
preserves are let down from heaven,
and a voice within US says: "Rise,
Peter, kill and eatw We slaughter
Robins, as they sing, just as the
Romans slaughtered nightingales and
thrushes for their delicate tongues.
The savages-and some that are a
little removed from savagery-in the
Philippines, Africa, and North and
South America, eat puppies, which
they assert to be delicious. Certain
tribes and nations are not averse to
the taste of the missionary; but we
are spending millions of dollars and
many lives to train them away from
that bad taste.
There are other tribes offghting
men who devour the flesh Of their
brave enemies, in order that they
may inherit the virtues Of the slain.
We don't make even that pretense as
to the slaughter and devouring Of
Robins. We don't fancy that we
shall fall heirs to their ravishing
music.

SHOOTING ROBINS FOR SPORT

It is again the "open season" for
Robins. These merry songsters visit
us-they are more like human guests
than any of our birds-in the early
spring, or late winter if the weather
has been mild. They come singing
to greet us or to pay for their well
come-and we kill them.
A writer in sthe Guardian" years
ago. speaking of the notion that it
was ominous or unlucky to destroy
some sorts of birds, as swallows OF
martins, observes that this belief
NAV have come from the confidence
these birds seem to put in US by
building under our roofs. $50 that,
he says, "it is a kind of violation OF
the laws of hospitality to murder
them"
Fully as much may be truthfully
pleaded in behalf of our early spring
visitor, the Robin. No other bird is
so trustful of man as he. The other
day the writer, walking through the
University Campus, saw three or four
Robins hopping gleefully and trust
ingly on the little plot of grass,
"scant as hair in leprosy," that was
trying to grow on the exiguous plot
of ground allotted to each professor
ial residence" They were within a
yard or two of playing and shouting
children. No other bird would have
shown such confidence in his "poor
earth-born companion and fellow
mortal"
Nor would these self-deluded Rob-
ins, if they could rightly have inter-
preted the shots from sporting"
rifles aimed at their brothers, which
could then be clearly heard in the
vicinity.
Thomson, in "Winter" ("the Sea-
sons") says that of all the birds only
one dares follow so close the reced-
ing blasts of winter to visit his human
companions.
-. -. -. one alone.
The Redbreast, sacred to the House
hold Gods,
Wisely regardful Of tn embroyling
sky,
In joyless fields and thorny thickets
leaves
His shiv'ring mates, and pays to
trustful man
His annual visit.
This familiar relation between the
Robin-whether the true Redbreast
Of England, or the bird we call Robin
or Robin Redbreast (merula migra-
toria) in this country-and his COM
panion man is mingled in the folk
lore of the race. Also, it has long
been considered something worse
than inhospitable to drive them away
or to entrap or kill them. The follow
ing lines "to the Robin" go back to
1870:
Forever from his threshold fly,
Who, void Of honor, once shall try,
With base inhospitable breast,
To bar the freedom of his guest:
o rather seek the peasant shed,
For he will give thee wasted bread,
And fear some new calamity,
Should any there spread snares for
4, thee, y !, q,
~ fas -.-'~.i; '.'''''>r,''s".
The love and really tender feeling
that have so long been cherished for
the Robin is probably due to his

new BANK OF N. D.

Sheridan County State Bank, Who
Resides at Fessenden, Comments
FavOrably on State Bank.

/ Bismarck, N. D. Feb. AT. L.
Beiseker, millionaire banker of Fes-
senden, Wells county, in communi-
cation, to J. R. Waters, state bank ex-
aminer, says: "I would like to see the
new prospective banking legislation
prove success"
In the same communication Mr..
Beiseker continues, II was born and
raised banker, have been in the
banking business in North Dakota
for thirty years so am in a position
to know something as to banking
benefits outside of the counter as well
as inside"
In drawing his conclusion about the
pending bill creating the Bank of
North Dakota, Mr.. Beiseker says: "I
believe from what I can see and hear
that your committee has most of nv
IDEAS"
After carrying en- some cores
pondence with the bank examiners
p
department regarding the bill, Mr..
Beiseker came co Bismarck last week
and secured first hand information
regarding some points in which he
was in doubt and offered some sug-
gestions which he believed will i'm
prove the bank act. After returning
home Mr.. Beises.er now writes the
banking committee, giving figures to
back up his suggestion that the re-
serve of state banks should DE re-
duced to 10 per cent on demand and
. per cent on time deposits. In ex-
planning this change Mr.. Beiseker
takes his Fessenden bank for ex-
ample and writes:
