SPARE THE BIRD

Birds are the greatest little food-savers in
the world. They save millions of pounds of
food for humans to eat. They do this by prey
ing upon Notwithstanding insects in fields and
gardens.
The Kansas State horticultural Society has
just published some interesting bird facts. In
that one state alone 256 million birds every
year eat enough insects to fill 480 trains of so
box cars each-24,000 cars of a minimum
weight Of $4,000 pounds to the car.
Kansas birds each year eat SIG million
pounds of insects.
Each bird will average 100 insects day.

THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1920.
NOW BUILD THAT BRIDGE

The people OF Kenosha have told the COM
mon council in no uncertain way that they want
to be progressive. By vote which leaves no
doubt as to the ideas OF the people they have
declared that they want Kenosha to go ahead.
They want better looking Main street. They
want the old railway crossing on Main street
put out OF sight, they want the street straight
ened out and bridge which will stand little
traffic and look like something put in the place
of the old bridge which has long been out of
date and of little value for real service
The people have voted for the bridge after
knowing just what it is going to cost; just what
is going to be paid by the railway company,
just what the city expects to pay tf1e property
owners for damages and everything in connec-
ton with it. The people have said to the COM
mon council: GO right ahead and build that
bridge, build it on the bids now before the coun-
Gil and be quick about it.
The people have voted the bonds necessary
and there isn't the slightest excuse for any
alderman to suggest delay in letting the con
tract or selling the bonds. Every ward, every
voting precinct has declared ego ahead" with
maiorities which indicated that the people
knew what they wanted.
The referendum drew thoroughly represen-
tative vote of the people of the city Nearly
everyone voting for the nomination of city Of
ficials voted on the bridge question and there
were mighty few mugwumps who voted
BLANK"
The present council before it gives up it's
place to other aldermen should let the contract
for the bridge and the other work planned for
the Strengthening out of Main street. There
is every reason to use speed. Contractors have
so4o oA104o ri
they should be accepted. The engineering
department of the city has indicated that it is
entirely satisfied with the bids made and they
are in keeping with fair estimates of the value
of the work It may be that later on materials
and labor will demand more money to build
the bridge. The people have said: Build it
Now and on the present bids" There never
was time that referendum so fully lifted
the responsibility off the shoulders of the alder
men and put it on the shoulders of the people.
The people are going to pay and they should
have what they want with the least possible
delay.
The building of the bridge and viaduct is a
part of the order for the separation of grades
in Kenosha 1t means the elimination of the
first bad grade crossing and it means the death
lnel to other grade crossings. The sooner
Kenosha starts the work OF getting rid OF death
traps the sooner the Northwestern Railway
company will get busy and get rid of the grade
crossing horror. At best it will take nearly a
year to complete the Main street Improvement
and no time should be added to this by the
delay of the aldermen in letting the contract.
The declaration of the people is final and
conclusive It should be carried out to the
letter

Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing 1t

When you wash your hair. be care
full what you use. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much al
kali, which is very injurious. as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroly, and rinses out easily.
The hair dries quickly and evenly, and
is soft. fresh looking. bright fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides, 1t
loosens and takes out every particle
of dust, dirt and dandruff-Adv.

From Ohio County Tomorrow.

Harding worked on the second speech
Of his front porch campaign today to
be delivered tomorrow when a farm
ers' delegation comes from Wayne
county. Ohio. to call on the Republ-
can candidate.
His speech is expected to deal solely
with domestic issues and only to a
limited extent.
Harding is being besieged with ap-
peals to elaborate his stand on various
campaign issues. By both mail and
personal call, he is being pressed to
come out more definitely on the
League of Nations issue. prohibition,
public health, the high cost of living,
taxation, labor problems. education
and many minor questions.
Some callers expressed the view
that Harding should announce his
position at the outset of the campaign.
but Harding's advisers for the most
part wish him to proceed with eau
ton and deal with individual issues as
they come in the campaign.
Both candidates are expected to
keep as far away from the prohibit
ton issue as possible.
Harding is also being urged to de-
clare for a department of public health
