Thirty-six rockies arrived in Browns
Vile today. Ordinarily receptions
and undue excitement do not attend
the arrival of batch of newly poined
United States soldiers, but this par
ticular aggregation Of rocks jumped
right into the middle Of situation
for which there is no precedent IN
local army circles.
Not only was there large crowd
of civilians, brought by the presence
Of the army band. but there greeted
the eyes Of the young soldiers sight
that the most vivid imagination in the
marty could not possibly have antici-
pated.
Intellectually sheltered behind the
crowd and the band could be very
plainly discerncd the vehicle and
motive power which, they assumed,
was supposed to transport them from
the depot to quarters.
Oh, Boy

one small army cart, both filled with

8lRD IS WORTH PRESERVING
Writer Depioros the Threatened Ex-
tinotion Of the Beautiful and
Useful Upland Flower.

The upland Woyer, one OF the most
beneficial birds of ull tie winged host
that once abomded In North America,
has been hunted end shot to the verge
of determination, says Dumb Animals.
With the passing Of the passenger
pigeons. which even now so many
friends Of al birds find il hard TO be-
llcve and Of which a great many are
not convinced, the plovers were marked
for wholesale destruction. They were
candidates for oblivion along with
more than alscorc of other useful and
beautiful species that could be Ill
spared from our vast and valuable ma
tive fauna.
There IS ray of hope that these
birds may not be pursued to complete
humiliation. The federal law for the
protection of migratory birds makes it
possible for the plover species TO re
habilitate itself, provided the closed
season be fixed to continue throughout
the year. The upland ployer is mi
gratory bird and an insectiyorous bird.
It's food consists Of 81 per cent of ami
NAL forms which are chiefly the worst
enemies to agriculture. The federal
law fixes closed season on migra-
tory insectivorous birds TO continue
throughout the year with the exception
of the bobolink or ricebird, but under
the law the plover is classed as a mi
gratory game bird and SO its fate is
precarious. These birds should not be
shot.
