DecOying CrOWS
Rare Sport And
Of Great Value

Out on the great Ames plantation
near Grand Junction, c. Z. Buckle, the
manager, is having some rare sport as
well as protecting the crop and game.
It Is %decCyIng crows. He had a pet
owl which would perch in a conspicu-
GUS place and boot, The owl and crow
being mortal enemies, crows would
flock to 81 mass attack on the owl,
Whereupon from his ambuscade in a
cedar tree, Mr., Buckle would NOW down
the crows. This season, however, the
pet owl iS dead, but MIR. Buckle uses
his stuffed image and does the hooting
himself. He was at the Peabody hotel
Wednesday inviting his, friends out to
enjoy the sport with him.
The Ames plantation probably is the
best combination farm, stock establish
ment and game preserve in the United
States and Mr.. Buckle, by reason of
English training and later experience
In the United States, Is amply equipped
for handling all three phases of the
business. Mr.. Ames' herd Of Angus
cattle Is unsurpassed, he having bred
and raised an international grand
champion; his bird shooting is the best
in the country n foxes really are
too thick for pleasant chasing on &c
count Of the difficulty of keeping the
pack after one fox,
1--WE have sold 1925 head of Angus
cattle this season, so being fancy breed
ing stock" Mr.. Buckle said. Most Of
them went to breeders in Mississippi
and Alabama.
How about the game? 1t Is plenti-
full. Birds are thick and foxes abund-
ant. Our greatest trouble protecting
game now that we no longer have cur
dogs roaming over the fields is from
the house cats that have gone wild in
the woods and from the crows, | never
lose a chance to kill either, Foxes do
not bother the quail, but cats are aw-
full after them.
over in the other side any good
game keeper has an average of 25 cat
skins on the pole In front Of his cabin.
He always skins them to show the
! proprietor that he Is doing his duty and
to prove to the housewife that he has
not killed her cat, for no woman can
recognize an ordinary cat from Its
hide"

BISHOP HOsS

The death of Bishop Z, Z. Hoss removes from Southern
Methodsm one OF its quaintest, most rugged and consecrated
characters.
He occupied practically every appointment in the gift Of his
denomination, He went early into the ministry. For a num-
Der Of years he was actively in the pastorate, then he became
a teacher and then an editor, and finally a bishop.
Wherever he was he was felt. His opinion on ecclesiastical
and political questions was always known. He always took a
side on any issue that had two sides. He was what IS commonly
known as a fighting preacher" He was uncompromising in
his ewn views, but tolerant and magnanimous in his views of
others. He served his church, his people and his country with
all the strength and vigor that he possessed, He was truly a
soldier OF the cross, always to be found battling vahantly for the

FOCHS STRATEGY ON THE
MARINE

81. Joseph Ncws-PresS; III takes
time for us to get the true perspecJ-
i've on the battles OF the war. 1t was
nearly a wear alter the first battle
OF the Marnc before we in this coun-
try knew It's full significance. We are
only beginning now to get talr
estimate on the second battle OF the
Maruc and TO realize it was no less
important than the FIRST Every
American know, that the marines
at Chateau-Thierry stopped the
hoche, ON the road to Paris, but
OF the scope OF the whole battle we
have little idea. Our marines were
magnificent. Human being, could
have done no more than they did,
but they we're comparatively small
part OF the mighty battle line which
drove back the Hun Many other
American troop, took their glori-
on, part. the poilus fought irwin
sibly. and the strategy thar turned
the German attack into the rout OF
their force, was little short OF a
miracle.
a comprehensive account of the
battle is given by Raymond Recouly
Captain ~ in Scribner's He gives
large share OF credit for the sue
cess OF the whole operation to a
raiding party OF five French sol
diers, who swooped on the German
trenches and captured prisoners who
told the exact hour at which the
German attack was to be launched
The daring French squad included
Lieutenant Balestier, sergeant, two
corporals and private. The Ger
man offensive had carried all before
it and the allies had known only too
we'll that another one was coming

RIGHTS OF MINORITY
NATIONALITIES GIVE
WILSON MUCH CONCERN

Paris, Jan. ll.-President Wilson
is giving considerable attention to
the problem OF safeguarding the
rights OF minority nationalities in
the peace treaty The territories
in question arc occupied by mixed
races. The race having evident
majority will, in principle, dcterm-
inc the future OF the regions in
question, but when that is done,
the peace settlement, it is held,
must also include complete guar
anteeS for the protection OF minor
ity races.
Thus, ii Greece should receive
additional territory in Thrace,
the rights Of the Turks, according
to this principle, would be protect
ed by International covenant.
Should Italy or Greater Serbia
have the ultimate possession OF
Dalmatia, the rights OF both races
as well as one OF the Mohammc-
dams would be equally safeguard
ed.
Some oi the methods by which
this can be done, it is pointed out,
are proportional representation in
representative bodies, by communal
governments OF the minority race
where it has a local majority and
By constitutional guarantees ior
equal religious and civil rights.
This subject is considered one OF
the most intricate OF those concern
ing race distribution and will al
feet especially, it is declared, the
territorial aspirations OF Italy, Ser
bia, Rumania and Poland insofar
as concerns other nationalities SET
tied within the borders to he out

They had been seeking ior months

at the last moment the complete
German plant was before them. The

night and then sweep forward. SO
the allies laid down a terrific bar

sion into the German ranks, The

For these amazing results we are

and to the genius of Foch. The plan
of his strategy was classic in the
simplicity and breadth OF its design,

being that the varied evolutions oil
