There are more than 200 species

animation of over $4,000 stomachs
Of birds. they established beyond q
reasonable doubt that birds are Of
economic value, first in eating HARM
full insests, their eggs and larvae.
Third. In devouring field mice and
other small rodeuts that injure the
crops, and fourth In acting as scav-
engers. While the economic value Of
birds should be kept in mind, the
esthetIo value should also be con-
sidered. Man does not live by bread
alone.
We should protect them for their
graceful forms, their charming
beauty. their delightful melody and
their joyous activity.

helpful in past years was the first subject for consideration following the address of the new president. Chas. Mckee, H. M. Jackson, E. E. Whitaker, county demonstrator, Dr. H. l.. White, w. M. Long, c. E. Do- zier, R. D. Smith, J. w. Whitaker, Maclin McClintock, A. L. Jones, c. E. Daggett and Judge Jno. A. Plum mer urged the importance of con ducting the campaign this year, not because the men who make the cam- paign are necessarily able to tell the farmers how to conduct their busi- ness but primarily because it brings the people in closer touch with each other and promtes spirit of fellow ship that is helpful The club by unanimous vote decided to make the campaign this month and authorized the president to appoint a commit tee to select the teams and arrange the schedule. c. E. Dozier of Moro extended an invitation to the club to hold the first big rally at Moro at which time luncheon would be serv- ed. The invitation was accepted. President Clark appointed the follow ing committee to arrange the cam paign: J. M. McClintock, c. c. Kitchener, M H. Ford, c. E. Dag gett and Dr. o. L. Williamson.

 His remarks were very enthusiasm cally received and from the expres, sions that followed it may be stated thi simportan work will not be over looked in the future. :.
 The meeting, from every polnt or view. was one of the best ever held by the Commercial Club. The atten- dance was larger than was was ex- pected in view of the bad weather and worse roads. The interest was keen, the talks were timely and polnt- and fine spirit of fellowship ana desire to make 1920 a year of real and substantial accomplishments pervaded the meeting

of war. He said he and R. L. Nixon ! had discussed the matter on numer- ous occasions and had come to the conclusion that instead of erecting monument or an arch it would be better if the citizens would raise a fund for the purchase of a tract of forty or sixty acres of land near the city, erect suitable building or build ings, convert the premises into a park and playground and give to the boys and girls of today and of the coming generation place for healthy, wholesome recreation. The idea met with much favor in the dis cussion that followed, resulting in suggestion from President Clark that R. L. Nixon, D. s. Hummer and C. E. Daggett be appointed on com mittee to work out some plans along this sine and report at future meet ing of the club.
 To Improve Wharf Facitsiss.
 J. M. McClintock called attention to the poor wharf facilities at the foot of Main street, stating that it costs as much to handle freight up the steep incline as it does to trans port it to Marianna from points on the St. Francis river. c. E. Yancey fol lowed MT .McClintock and emphasized the importance of making an approach to the boats so cotton and other farm products could be handled more eco- nomically. Mir Yancey offered to donate $100 to fund to provide ann pie wharfage. J. M McClintock said he would give $50. J. w. Patton of the Marianna Cotton Oil Company pledged $100 It was deemed inadvis- able to make subscriptions at the meeting Wednesday night, but Pres Clark placed the matter in the hands of the new executive committee, Messrs. Yancey, Benham and Har- rington, with instructions to see that the wharf was made suitable for the handling of freight and farm products Attention was also called to the fact that the ferry on the St. Francis river at Cody is out of commission because of caving banks on the east side of the river. This was deemed a most serious handicap to the business in- terests here and to the many people in the bottoms who desire to market their prodcts and do their trading in Marianna. As soon as President Clark appoints the committees provid- ed for under the bylaws of the Com mercial Club this matter will be re- ferred to the committee on trade pro- motion and steps will be taken to make a permanent approach on the east side of the river, and if possible plans will be worked out to provide free ferry at Cody.
 Pleads for Better Schools.
