DECREASED CONSUMPTION.

Financial and trade papers note decided
decrease of all manufactured products. 30
decided is this decrease in some products as
to leave manufacturers with large surplus
stocks on hand To illustrate, the American
Wooden Company has ten million dollars
worth of wooens for which it has no market
There is even greater surplus of certain
kinds of cotton fabrics All of this IS just
so much capital and borrowed money tied up,
and the problem of the manufacturers is how
to paw their debts and impair their capital the
least.
Decreased consumption may be due to sew
eral causes, but the principal cause, according
to the trade papers, appears to result from
decision of the people not TO pay the prices
asked for goods, prices which too frequently
disclose an abnormal retail profit cur
rent government publication presents wide
range of retail proft-frOm 40 to 100 pei
cent. which greatly exceeds the profits re-
uuired before the war Probably it now
costs more to do business, but not so mucf
more as to warrant these prices.
From all the information trade papers are
able to gain on the subject sit seems to b'
a question of price which may also be intiu
enced by actual production notwith
standing surplus stocks" This would meal
that surplus stocks are due to under consump
ton rather than to over roduction, which
would support the explanation of surplus
stocks made by trade papers.

The Magic OF Paint
and Flowers and Shrubs.
From the Progressive Farmer.

A Young farmer we knew got married
last year. He took his bride to newly built
little cottage which had been erected in an
open space of white, bleak, glazing sand
and gravel.
We CHANGED to pass this house one day
with friend. "What in the world caused
the fellow to build his house in place like
that!" was his exclamation. ''That farmer
will never be able to make his home look
like anything in such a location"
few days ago we travelled the same
road, but with a different companion. On
coming again to the home of this young
farmer the exclamation this time was,
What a pretty home"
What had changed this unattractive place
into one of beauty which caused travellers
to exclaim in admiration? The answer was
plain-paint, flowers, shrubs and grass.
When the surrounding yard had been
plowed graded, MANFRED and grass started
it showed that the location selected by the
young man, except for the absence of trees,
was not so bad after all. The simple use
of flowers, shrubs, paint, grass and little
time was all that was necessary to turn an
ugly picture into a beautiful one-and
young trees with proper attention and fer
tilizers will soon become large ones.
The reason we do not have a wonderfully
beautiful South is because too many of our
farmers and farm women do not under
stand the magic of these simple beautifiers,
as this young farmer seems to have under
stood it.

PAYING FOR THE PRIMARY

In order to hold second primary in
Georgia for the office of governor, which
will cost $4,000, the two candidates will
have to foot the bill unless their friends in
the various counties come to their rescue
and provide for the polls to be opened.
The question of who shall pay for pri-
mary election in such circumstances as the
present has never before been confronted,
but it is likely to hereafter occur in any
election for United States senator or gov
ernor. The primary ought to be conducted
and paid for by the state, as the general
election is There should be no entrance fees
for candidates The primary is now regu-
lated by law, but the whole system ought
to be taken over by the state for every
party, and the expenses of it should be
borne out of the public funds. Nevertheless,
until that reform is instituted it Is hardly
conceivable that the democrats of any coun-
ty will refuse to provide for holding an
election when the situation is such as it is
now.

A Land of Strange Binds.
From the New York Tribune.

In a recent interview Dr. Frank NJ. Chap
man, curator of the department Of birds OF
the American Museum of Natural History
in New York city, and organizer and leader
of number of South American expeditions,
gave some interesting information concern
ing South American bird Life.
Costa Rica, he said, is about the same
size as West Virginia. but over $50 species
of land birds have been found IN that little
Central American republic, whereas in all
America north of Mexico only some 500
species are known.
The figures give US some conception OF
the wealth of South American bird life and,
when we enter the Andean region, where
mountains with their feet in the tropics
rear their heads far above the limits of per-
petual snow, the resulting abrupt climatic
changes due to altitude bring to an even
smaller area a larger number of birds than
has been recorded from Costa Rlca. In An
dean Colombia, for example, are specimens
of over 1,150 species of land birds, or more
than twice as many as exist in the United
States, Canada and Greenland.
This teeming bird population is due not
only to highly diversified and favorable eli
matte conditions, but also to the fact that
in tropical South America birds are practi-
cally non-migratory. They are, therefore,
continuously subjected to the influences of
their surroundings and do not mix with
birds from other localities, two factors of
the utmost importance IN the evolution OF
species.
But the richness of South American bird
life is due to the presence of the Andes
more than to any other one thing, and it is
the absence of great mountain chains in
Africa which accounts for the comparative
ly small numbers of species of birds IN that
continent. From base to summit four dis
tinct zones of lfe-tropical, sub-tropical,
temperate and alpine-are found in the
higher Andes, and each zone has species
which are confined to it. So sharply are
these zones defined that, where the slope
is steep, one may pass from one zone to an
other on foot in less than ten minutes and
at the same time find an almost entirely
different set of birds.
Such changes are impossible at sea level.
One may go from the tropical upper Anna
zon 1900 miles to it's mouth and find less
difference in the general bird population
than one will encounter in an altitude of
5000 feet in the Andes.

GAME AND SPORT.

William T. Hornaday, of New York, has
issued an appeal to the real sportsmen of
the United States to join in the preserva-
ton of the present game by protecting 1t
enough to allow recuperation from the an
nual slaughter which is now carried on IN
the name of sport. He strikes directly at
the game hog and the illegal hunter who
kills not for sport, but for the lust OF
killing. He urges sportsmen in every state
to unite in urging the secretary of agricul-
ture to reduce the federal bag limit to one
half its present size and to reduce the open
season on migratory birds to half what it is
now. He urges an effort by real sportsmen
to secure like action by state legislatures.
He also urges pressure from the same source
to increase the hunting license fee in the
states to three times what it is now, so as to
make it real fee instead of a mere formal
ity He proposes that the income from the
license, after administration costs are de-
Quoted, be used for feeding, sheltering and
increasing the wild life in sanctuaries.
Most of the suggestions will appeal to
all hunters who hunt for the pleasure to be
derived from it, and not for the slaughter
they may inflict. But above all is the fact
that if the present laws are not amended so
as to reduce killing there soon will be no
game to hunt. Many of the game species
already are extinct in some places. Others
rapidly are becoming so. The minimum bag
limit is now so high that if the hunter cared
to spend all the open season in hunting and
could take his full bag each day several
species would be exterminated in one sea-
son. To illustrate the point, the minimum
bag limit for the whole season on birds in
New York state is 1888. There were 230.079
licenses issued in the state in 1918. That
gives the whole number of hunters authori-
ty to kill 2,23O,165,747 birds during one
year The hunting licenses issued for quail
on Long Island permitted the killing of s.
889, 900 birds, though there are only $500
alive on the island. Other states show the

same reckless authority to exterminate the
birds and other game which provide the hun
tiers with sport.
In states like Georgia the bird life has
been reduced by game hogs and violators of
the game laws killing out of season, as well
as by the elimination of the habitat of many
of the species through the draining of
swamps and the clearing of land of woods
and underground and weeds in which the
birds found shelter and security, and from
which they procured part of their winter
feed. Against this extinction of game bird
life no legislation can be enacted 1t is the
elimination of wild life by the advance de-
velopment of civilization. The buffalo could
not survive when the national pasturage of
the immense herds was converted into corn
and wheat farms and cattle ranches. But
that fact does not justify the determination
of such as can survive the contest with CIV
ilization by hunting which goes so far be-
yond real sport that it is nothing except a
wanton destruction of life. The hunter
who can display the largest string of fish,
the largest bag of quail or other birds is
accounted the greatest sportsman. That SEN
timent must be changed to one in which the
greatest sportsman is the one who takes on
ly such as the true sporting spirit permits
and boasts of the number he left untouched.
