STOP SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS
Wardens Wage Constant War on Un-
principled Slayers Of Feathered
Friends Of the Farmer.

The guardian of the birds on pro-
tected lands is an important part or
the work of the federal and Audubon
authorities. Although state and ma
tional laws have been passed making
1t wrong to kill the birds for their
plumage, plume hunters are constantly
raiding the nests of the waterfowl and
killing them for the sake of the prices
the wings will bring. Thus constant
watch is necessary. Patrol boats are
constantly lowering along the shores
of the reservations, and more than one
pitched battle has been fought to save
the egret or gulls from slaughter. In
Florida, one of the best game wardens
oe the Audubon society was killed by
bird butchers.
If those who call the robin the thief
OF their fruit, and hate him for his
early morning raids on their berries,
would realize that the little fruit
spoiled is a light dessert for the huge
quantity of insects killed before the
fruit was touched. then their feelings
would be more kindly. Cutworms and
craneflies. which do great harm to grain
crops, are favOrite foods for robins
while leaf beetles, vine-wOrms. etc.. are
eaten in great numbers.-Exchange

toward making the quaint and youthful

OUR PRODUCTION
In this emergency we tried to do our
part. We secured the country for raw
materials-our Traffic Manager spent
his days riding freight cars in-we
shipped raw materials In carload lots
by express and pleaded with manufac-
turers to increase their deliveries to US.
But It was q slow process. Some Of
our raw materials are produced only
in Japan-supplies In this country
were low and shipments required three
months to come from the Far East.
Then we had to recruit and train
skilled labor. We brought our sales
men into the factory and trained them
as foremen. We invented new me-
chinery, and managed to install it on
Christmas Day, 50 as not to interfere
with our daily production.

But while the leftwing Of the Sejm is not
represented in the Paderewski cabinet, there
is comparatively little i'll feeling about the mat
ter. This is explained by the fact that the Pa
derewski cabinet has been selected with an
eye to SERVICE It is cabinet of ministers
each of whom is an expert administrator in the
special field to which he is assigned, or at
least believed to be. Though an artist, or per-
haps because he is an artist, Paderewski has
been exceedingly careful to chose men for Of
flee along, extremely practical lines, making
the interest Of the Polish nation and the abil-
ty to serve the criterion by which to judge
candidate s fitness or unfitness
Itis this practical thread in the Paderew-
ski policy that gives the people confidence in
him and in his government Paderewski is
frankly relied upon to win for the Polish ma
ton the cool will Of the American republic.
A Picturesque Assembly.
However, it is: not it's leaders, but the rank
and file Of it's deputies that make the Polish
parliament exceedingly picturesque, as well
as significant Of the changed character Of
European civilization. Besides the thoroughly
Europeanized, Teutonic looking and formerly
members Of the German Reichstag and Aust
rian Reichsrath and who are skilled in the
rules Of parliamentarism, sit peasant delegates
from the Carpathian mountains, from the
plains Of White Russia, dressed in the native
homespun coats of light gray (sookmanas,) in
embroidered shirts, highly colored waistcoats
and wearing broad red belts. Most of. these de-
they have no other.
There are some, however, among the
peasant group in the Sejm who dress in this
manner from choice in order to emphasize their
party allegiances. Thus one Of the delegates
in the peasant group, who looked every bit
like small town mechanic, turned out to be

custom: The prince came into the temporary
presidency by reason of seniority only: He is
