from fear and pain, the agony COM
pressing the muscles of the chest and
forcing the air through the CLOTHS so
as to create a sound. What originated
in fear afterwards developed into an
art or accomplishment, so that gradu-
ally, during the ages, many birds de-
veicped "calls" to others Of the opp0-
site sex.
Ornithologists say that any bribery
which induces one bird of species to
approach another Of the same kind is
"call note,' whether it be combat
cry or an alarm, which were the
earliest, to be followed later by the
love-call.
At the beginning Of the breeding
season birds of opposite sex call to
each other, and this vocal exercise is
especially performed by the males.
Songs were actually mere repetitiQnS
Of call notes, and only later came the
development of pure song as under
stood by men. When nightingales are
counting they utter gentle, subdued
warbling. Duets are common between
pairs Of birds Of various species. Real
Song. however, does rot seem to de-
pend upon the breeding season at all.

Apes as Farm Hands
Prof. Richard Lynch Garner Fians
Nation Of Gorillas in u. S.

Prof. Richard Lynch Garner has an
nounced his intention of establishing
a nation of chimpanzees and gorillas
in the United States for the ultimate
purpose of uplifting the entire ape
race, says a New York correspondent.
Professor Garner has just returned
after two and one-half years in the
French Congo gathering specimens for
the Smithsonian institution.
The apes today, in their uncultured
state. are second only to the human
family in point of intellect, the profes-
sor said. He believes that apes, If
given the advantage of modern educa-
ton and environment, would develop
into a race that would SOW and reap
and toll in the mill. In refined young
lady apes the professor sees possible
solution of the servant problem.
"Sam, a boy ape that shared my
home in Africa, learned to fetch things
I called for he said. He became as
particular as about bed sheets being
smoothed out, and he couldn't go to
sleep without pillow. If man could
train a dog to herd sheep, man can
make q farm hand out Of an ape"

Dawn as 1t Is Welcomed by
Animals, Birds of the Air
and Posies of the Field

The dawn that dispels sleep, in
neture is only welcome. The cows
that have drowsed since evening twi-
light, crouched In ungainly comfort
on the ground, like half-produced
sphinxes to the night-wanderers vague
vision, with now and then a moments
munching Of the cud In their dreams,
wake at the first gray tints, upheave
their clumsy bodies, and fall to brows-
ing daintily near the pasture bars.
The birds stir in the nigh boughs
and the bushes call and twitter to
each other, preen their ruf1ed feathers
and shake slumber from their joyous
throats In song.
The fragrances Of herb and flower,
the roses charm and the balsam Of the
frs, exhale upon the dewy air. The
casts perpetual miracle, coursing the
globe forever from its source In the
midi Pacific waters, is at the verge OF
revelation. The riddle of the nights
dream opens its mystery as the lighter
tints are absorbed into the splendid
heraldry Of morn. Earth with a rich
expectancy awaits the new revealmenr
always at hand, ever Withdrawn,
going on with t.e dawn to new days.

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

Cholera and blackhead, q common
disease of which many kinds of do
nestle poultry die, but most commonly
chickens and turkeys, has no real
name in poultry annals, though on
making diagnosis Of the dead birds
often it Is called cholera, blackhead
and few other names, when, after
all, it is merely acute inflammation Of
the intestines caused by feeding con-
stipating food, says one person.
It Is true that fowls after eating
drastic poisons, will show up with the
same intestinal Inflammation, but it
is more commonly due to feeding a
too-heavily concentrated ration. It Is
the mysterious disease that so often
kills hogs, calves and sheep. In the
first it is, as in poultry, too often at
tributed to cholera, and the owner
goes on feeding in the old way instead
of giving the flock, or the herd, plenty
of pure water at all hours to quickly
pass the concentrated food on to quick
elimination, helped on by regular
doses Of Epson salts.
This neglect is more apparent with
poultry than other stock. Corn is one
Of the feeds most sure to bring on
this condition, If fed In large quanti-
ties to any kind of stock. With poul-
try, as with other stock, and especially
in spring when frost lies on the new
grass the trouble at times will bring
about great loss.

When Buying Chairs Always
Figure on Getting Service

When people buy chairs it is good
idea to pick them for the purpose Of
being sat upon-that Is the chairs.
Measured by some wares being shown
and purchased a chair is either an or
nament or a mere space filler, observes
the Los Angeles Times. At least lot
Of them indicate no especial use or
comfort. And yet 1t is just as easy to
buy service and strength. Some of the
spindly things being shown hardly look
as if they would stand up under the
strain Of plug hat. When full
grown man is shown into the presence
Of one Of them he begins to wonder IL
his accident insurance is paid up.

80 Billion Cigarettes Were
Produced in U. S. Last Year

Thirty-nine billion cigarettes were
produced In the United States last
year. and, so far as the department OF
agriculture has been able to ascer-
tain, practically all will be used in
this country, as few will be exported.
This represents four times as many
cigarettes as were produced seven
years ago. Consumption of tobacco In
other forms decreased slightly last
year, due largely to higher prices.
Last year 625.0OO.000 pounds of leaf
tobacco were used in manufacturing,
compared with 65S.oOO.OO0 in 1917.

Windmill Drives Dynamo
for Forest Fire Alarm

The windmill Is new addition to
the forest rangers station on the
mountain peaks of the West, says the
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Its
purpose is to drive the dynamo that
supplies current for wireless tele-
phone. The telephone has long been
the chief aid Of the lookout in fight
ing fires In our great national forests.
Often, however, when most needed,
the wires would be lying useless UNI
der a slide of rocks on snow or a
fallen tree, so the rangers are to have
wireless telephones, whose function
ing cannot be disturbed in these ways.

WORDS OF WISE MEN

Good will. like a good name,
Is got by many actions and lost
by one.
Good manners include not
merely pleasant things said and
done, but unpleasant ones left
undone.
The gold of our best motives
is so mixed with the dross of
selfishness and unworthiness
that we can neither take too
much credit to ourselves for
any of our good deeds nor af-
ford to throw discredit upon any
performed by our neighbor.
