StarIlnns.

A certain Boston bird student re-
ports having seen a flock of starlings
in his own city, settled on some thick
bushes from which they were busily
picking the red berries. Boys and girls
of the British isles know these birds
well, but they are not so common in
the United States. Not long ago they
were introduced into New York state
and into Connecticut. and from the
birds having been noticed In Boston 1t
would seem that they will likely spread
. to other parts of the country. Star
lings have dark plumage of green
and purple, spotted over with buff or
white.

What is said to be the record for re-

plished by United States life-savers
after the victim had been submerged
for six minutes. Among a great many
persons the erroneous belief exists
that persons can be resuscitated after
having been In the water great

known where resuscitation methods
were used for hours after the drowned
persons had been under water for q
half-hour, or even longer. Thus 1t will
be seen that drowning Is a quick death

Stamps. The Treasury Department
has offered a Distinguished Service
pin to each postmaster who sells his
quota of certificates and scores of
the postmasters in all Of the states
are reporting they have already ex-
ceeded their quotas.
The sales of the certificates to
banks by the field workers are also
far in excess Of any other month at
the corresponding period, and there
is-scant room for doubt that the sales
will exceed 81, 100000 for the month.

RECORD is BEING BROKEN

November gives, promise of being
the banner month for the savings d.
vision of the Treasury Department
for the Eighth Federal Reserve Dis
trict.
Sales of Treasury Savings Ger
tificates and War Savings Stamps
are certain to exceed that of any
other month since the organization
was effected, and the work of or
ganizing savings societies in the
schools has exceeded all expecta-
tons. The interest taken by the pu-
pills shows the hold the Treasury
Departments thrift campaign has on
the young folks.
Lloyd w. King, one of the field or
ganizers, accomplished a bit of won
derful work at Springfield last week
when he organized 40 societies with
approximately 5000 members in AS
minutes. This was done with the ac-
tive aid of w. w. Thomas, superin-
tendent of the Greene county schools.
The teachers and principals were as
sembled and instructed and at 10
o'clock each teacher began the or
ganization in his room, and in As
minutes the work was accomplished.
AS a specimen of the work done in
the st. Louis schools may be cited the
report made by ]. r. Benson, prin-
cipal Of the Elliott school. During
the first ten weeks of school the
sales aggregated $349.93, and last
week the sales were so large that
they went considerably over $500.

throughout Arkansas, Missouri and
Kentucky are conducting a vigorous
campaign in the sales of Treasury
Savings Certificates in addition to

Miss Susette Johnson has been
appointed chairman in the Mt. Stcr-
ling parish to aid the campaign to
raise $302,172 in three years in the
Lexington Diocese Of the Episcopal
church. The canvass here is a part
Of the nationwide campaign to fur
Their the interests Of the church. Miss
Johnson will be glad to explain to
any interested the work that will be
done, how the money is to be pledg-
ed, and give any further inforfation
concerning the work. II is believed
that Mt. Sterling will be prompt in
pledging its share in this great move
ment. The amount asked in each par
ish is comparatively small. The local
quota will be announced in few
days.
In 1919 the Lexington Diocese has
received from the Board Of Missions
$4,000 and contributed to the board
just $2,911.50. See what differ
ence there is in what has been given
and what has been received? In
1920 the Lexington Diocese expects
to receive from the Missions Board
sos, 1854, and it is asked to con-
tribute only $1s,935. Plain figures
show the Lexington Diocese receives
more than it gives.
The funds raised in this campaign
will go toward increasing the general
work of the church all over the Do
cese, for development of Margaret
College for Girls at Versailles, and
St. Johns Institute and Wentworth
Farm at Corbin. 1t is hoped to place
three new diocesan missionaries in
the field and to build a community
home for the negro congregation of
st. Andrews church, Lexington.
The work of the church is spread
ing and it's influence is daily grow
ing in power, but it must have help,
just as any other movement must.
The record of the Episcopalian Insti-
tutions in this Diocese have record
to he proud of anywhere, and the
scope of its activity is unlimited.
