High winds and cold yesterday pre-

OF the scheduled game between Haw-

grammar school league. The game
was postponed last Thursday because
of rain.

Hawthorne decisively defeated Wash
ington, which team was handicapped
by the absence of its pitcher. The
east enders believe that they can now
take the measure of Hawthorne and
their next game is expected to be
hummer.
Lincoln school, which has gone
through its season thus far with a
clean record, will be the opposition
for Hawthorne on Thursday afternoon
of this week. The Lincoln nine plays
good game of ball and the game
gives promise of some real sport.

ny. 1t also had it's own refuge of 49,
600 acres. SO the state is now in pos
session of $4,000 acres of refuge.
This land is worth not less than SO an
acre, at a low estimate.
And this is not all. Gov. John nj.
Parker, Conservation Commissioner
M. L. Alexander and Mr.. McIlhenny
have a plan to increase the total acre
age to 100000 in one big tract.
The Rockefeller foundation and
Ward-McIfhenny tracts are separat-
ed by two other tracts. One of the lat
ter is tract of $4,000 acres, lying in
Vermilion parish and owned by the
Vermilion Bay company. The other
is tract of $4,000 acres, belonging
to several owners. By the addition
of these two tracts the big bird refuge
would have an unbroken frontage of
IS miles on the gulf.
Commissioner Alexander believes
that the next year will see the pur-
chase of these two tracts by the state
and their addition to the refuge. It
is stated that majority of the own
ers of the $4,000 acre tract have
agreed to sell to the state for refuge
purposes at price approximating So
an acre. This is virtually gift to
the state of half the value Of the
land.
Mr.. McIlhenny has been called the
father of wild-life conservation in
the south" Apparently he deserves
the title. Anyway, it was he who in
fiuenced Mrs. Sage to make the Marsh
island purchase.
The fisrt work of the department
was to eliminate the market hunters,
which was done by means of armed
wardens, authorized az deputy sher-
ifs and marshals, travelling in motor
patrol boats equipped with small rap
id-fire guns. It waS a hard fight.
Louisiana has long been the haunt of
swarms of market hunters and plu-
mage hunters. Many battles were
fought between the wardens and the
poachers. The most sensational, pos
nier fought three-hour gun battle
with six market hunters. The warden
was shot in the eye and the lung, but
arrested all six lawbreakers. Saunier
nearly died, but finally recovered. All
six Of th@poachers are serving terms
in states prison and Marsh island is
free from their kind nowadays.
Soon after obtaining the Russell
Sage foundation gift Mr.. McIlhenny
went again to New York and, with
Mr.. Wards assistance, succeeded i'll
persuading the Rockefeller foundation
to take action.
But long before Mr.. McIlhenny was
instrumental in securing these two
tracts for the state he was at work
on his own particular bird refuge on
his plantation of 10000 acres on Yer

COMMON ERROR IN GRAMMAR
Words Begun" and Began" Are
Wrongly Used by Those Careless
In Their Speech.

1t is quite common to hear some
one say, 81 begun to do that work
yesterday" "the battle begun between
the two armies" etc. This use OF
''begun" to express the past tense
sometimes called the preterit) OF
"begin" is not incorrect, according to
some authorities on the uses Of words,
but there is a fairly general agree
ment that the better word to use -
began" If you wish to safeguard
yourself against possible criticism, say
81 began to do that work yesterday"
'9The battle began between the two
armies" etc., not begun"
Richard Grant White, in Words
and Their Uses," a high authority,
criticizes and condemns the use OF
''begun" instead of 'began" to express
the past.
OF course, tits Incorrect beyond any
doubt to say, 81 have began" to ex-
press the perfect tense Of 5egin."

lean state a vast bird ref
uge. So, while Louisiana did not help
the women to realize their ambition
for s'votes for women in 1920" she is
going to help them keep their swear
off on wearing aigrettes and wild-birti
plumage on their hats.
If all the plans go through Louisi-
ana's bird refuge will be huge one.
In any event it's big one, as such
things go. OF course, some of the big
national parks with their thousands of
square miles of wild-life sanctuary are
bigger. But Louisiana'S refuge is
quite big enough to accomplish its
purpose. And geographically it is just
exactly where it is needed. 1t fronts
on the Gulf of Mexico, extending back
far enough to take in rolling prairie
and wooded upper land, ideal terri
tory for the preservation and propaga-
ton of bird life of various kinds. It
lies directly in the paths of migration
north and south through the MISSISSIPPI
pi valley, up and down which, accord
ing to observers of the United States
biological survey, passes more than 81
per cent of the migratory game birds
that enter the United States from
either direction each season.
BY this action of the legislature Loui-
siana became possessed of 164,300
acres through two gifts. One is 3d.
600 acres in Vermilion parish from
the Rockefeller foundation and the
other is $4,000 acres, including the ia
nous Marsh island, from the Russell
Sage foundation.
These two tracts were allotted to
the state five years ago on the condi-
ton that the state conservation de-
partment should demonstrate for five
years its ability to protect the wild
life and to establish breeding places
for all the resident birds and for all
the visitors from central and South
America, Mexico and the north. The
conservation department did good
job and wrote @. e. d. at the end of
these five years. Thereupon the two
foundations informed the state that
they were prepared to turn over the
tract in perpetuity. So the legislature
passed enabling acts, permitting the
state to receive these tracts ard to
preserve them forever as wild life
refugees.
Prior to this legislative action the
state Of louisiana had been the recipi-
ent of a gift of $1,000 acres in the
same part Of the state from Charles
