MAGPIES MENACE
TO STOCK

There have been several re-
ports of loss of cattle in this
county the past few weeks from
the attacks of magpies. That
other sections have the same
complaint is evidenced by the
following, clipped from the
Deadwood Pioneer Times:
Reports reach Deadwood from
ranchers in the Limestone coun-
try that magpies have become a
menace to stock in that region,
and that recently a number of
sheep and cattle have fallen prey
to the birds.
Magpies prefer fresh meat to
carrion and when remains of
dead wild game and other ami
mails are not to be obtained will
attack sheep and cattle. 1t is said
that the vultures will circle a.
round in the air for while and
then alight on the back of the
animal and ferecionsly eat a
hoie in the most tender place,
causing the victim much suffer-
ing and unless able to brush the
birds off will result in death. Af-
ter they once find this easy way
to procure fresh meat there is
only one way to stop the ravag-
es, ard that is to bait poisoned
fresh meat. Magpies are wise
birds and have long learned the
danger of guns fired into their
flock, so the only way to rid the
country Of the pests is by poison
ing fresh meat.
1t is also thought that the a.
bove proctice on the part of the
is responsible in large
degree for the spread Of stock
diseases including the dread
blackleg. Measures are UNDER
stood to be under way for the
determination of these pests.

WHAT is THE
AMERICAN LEGION?

This has been a busy year, fill
ed with many stirring events
and for this reason many peo-
pie have not had the time to
read about the formation of the
American Legion and many do
not know what the American Le-
gion is. To put it in short, con-
else form-American Legion
means World War Veterans, just
as G. A. r. means Civil War Vet
Grams.
The American Legion is an or
ganization of our soldier boys
who were in the service and wore
the uniform of Uncle Sam whe-
ther in this country or overseas.
This powerful and patriotic or
ganization represents the great
est patriotic group in America.
There are at present over $500
posts. Over 100000 men are
enrolled to date. Every week
over $4,000 are joining this
body united for 100 per cent

force combating radicalism and
L. w. WIS in America.
In Haakon county a post will
be organized in January, with
headquarters at Philip. 1t will no
doubt be named after one of the
service men who died on foreign
soil one who entered the SER
vice from this territory and gave
his life in action.
The American Legion is pledg-
ed to help us more firmly estab-
lish the political ideal in human
relations which was dreamed of
by the Fathers of our Country
in founding a government which
was to make possible a land Of
equal rights for all and of spe-
cial privileges for none; and

Immediately after President
Wilson returned from his long
sojourn in Europe he discover
ed that the high cost Of living
was the most troublesome ques-
tion at home, and he at once ap-
piled his usual remedy for trou-
ble-a speech. He promised he
roic efforts on the part of the de-
partments under his control, and
threatened dire punishment for
profiteers. The cost of living has
not been reduced, governmental
agencies are functioning in
their usual way, and the jails are
not filled with profiteers. But
the speech read well, as Presi-
dent Wilson's speeches usually
do. And it was followed by a.
bout the usual results.

The Y. NJ. c. A. and the city post
master are still looking for an avail
able site upon which to continue their
activities. The city postmaster
wants a place which is in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the hut, so that 1t
can be of service to the merchants in
Seventh and Ninth streets, who have
been patronizing the branch office.
The Y. NJ. c. A. officials are looking
for a building which will be large
enough for sleeping quarters. They
plan to reproduce on the ground floor
OF the new building. when they find

appeal that the postoffice is TO vacate.

PROJECT FAILS
Navy Employees Abandon Pro-
gram When Unable to
Obtain Funds.
The $4,000, 900 home building project

The 81. 2.OO0, 900 home building project
for Navy Yard employees has rallied.
Officials Of the United States Hous-
ing Corporation have been notified
that the Navy Yard employees are un-
able to obtain the necessary financial
support to sustain their part of the
bargain, and further negotiations
have been called off.
The future of the section upon
which the homes were to be built is
in doubt. but it is probable that 1t
will be developed b ylocal real estate
interests.
Not until the last moment did w. w.
Keeler, representative of the Navy
Yard employees, give up hope that the
deal might be financed and put
through. But after nearly year of
negotiations 1t became apparent that
progress was effectually blocked by
the existing financial conditions, and
that further negotiations would not
bring any results. -
After conference between him
and Robert Watson. president of the
Housing Corporation, yesterday. 1t
was determined that the best inter
ests of all concerned would be pro-
NOTED by having the plot developed
in some other form than by joint or
community action OF the employees.
The corporation plans to dispose of
its equity speedily and to permit the
property to be developed by private
interests as soon as possible.
General regret is expressed among
Navy Yard employees. as well as off,
cials of the Housing Corporation. that
the plan fell through, because it
would have been the largest com
munity-developed housing project in
the country. There was no dissension
between the Government and the Navy
Yard workers over the details of the
plan. The financing was the only
stumbling block.
In the near future the Housing Cor
poration will make an announcement
regarding the development of the
property.
