CLAIMS CROW IS
 FARMERS FRIEND

The United States Biological Survey sends out a bulletin about the crow. It says the big, black fellow is the farmers friend and should not be ex- terminated, and it goes on to assert that many crows recently examined were found to eat 38 per cent. grain and 62 per cent. May beetles, tussock moths, grasshoppers, gypsy moths, army worms, chinchbugs, and brown moths. So he is about twice as good as he is bad.
 But the crow also kills young chick ems and destroys the eggs of other birds. Charge that up against him along with the other 38 per cent. grain which he eats. Then, the other hand. set down a large number of field mice and cutworms which he | also gets away with, and there is still 1 a balance in his favor. Besides, much | of the grain the crow eats would be l wasted anyway, since he picks un scattered kernels in the field, and | eats a. lot of very poo~ corn and wheat that wouldn't be any account | to anybody else.
 l Become Intelligent.
 The government bulletin isn't going l to have much. effect, one way or an- | other, however. Everybody takes a | shot at a crow when he gets chance | but the crow persists. They have been l warred upon so much they have be-
 come very intelligent.
 | Take note of that-anything that is | warred upon or hunted becomes intel | Hgent. The hunted birds and animals | acquire knowledge and cunning, or
 whatever you want to call it. Other
 wise they will disappear.
 If crows were stupid, and sat | around on fences when they see a
 man in the field with a gun; if they built their nests where the nests could l be easily broken up; if they did not | help each other by giving warning | of approaching danger, there would be no crows. But every one seems tc
 be an enemy of the glossy fellow, and he knows that he must keep at a safe distance.
 He learns that he must build his
 nest high up in a tree, away from | human habitation, and watch out l every moment for somebody or some | thing that would kill him. All of this
 has made him what we call one of the
 most intelligent of birds.
 | Crow as a Pet.
 And still the crow is Sociab1e | bird. He likes human beings wher
 they treat him right. He makes z
 splendid pet, although a naughty one
 in that he is always getting into
 trouble. If you will take a crow whe1
 1t is young and raise it, it becomes al
 gentle as a chicken.
 He likes to be around the house
 where there are a lot of boys, but a
 every opportunity it will fly upon tn
 table and snatch the food or carr.
 scissors or thimbles or spools o
 thread or jewelry away and hid
 them. He is a mischief maker witt
 the hens and chickens, and fusse , and quarrels and wrangles with tn : dog that sleeps upon the porch. But he will not desert the family
 he will remain with the boy tha feeds him and attends to him, al though he may take a trip occasion ally to the fields and talk to tn other crows, coming back at night t his regular roost.-Columbus Dis | patch

BOY run OVER" BOY SCOUTS
COME TO AID AND EXPLAIN


Loud cries for help" call a doc
tor" and take him to the hospital"
attracted a large crowd at the corner
Of Hobart and Smith streets this
noon. To the eye of the bystander,
a little thirteen year old boy had been
u down by a reckless driver coming
up Hobart street in an automobile,
and was writing In agony, his face
and hands smeared with blood.
Through the crowd a Boy Scout work
ed his way. and while the excited
lockers on were shouting advice, delft
ly ~bandaged the boys head, giving
him hsrt aid and thus preparing him
for professional attention. Picking
him up, one of the bystanders, car
ried him to the car which had done
the mischief. ~whereupon the injured
boy wriggled free tore off the ban
dage and burst into laughter to the
accompaniment Of the other Boy
Scouts who were at the scene.
Then. out of the car stepped Ma
tionsl Deputy Field Scout Executive
Boardman, who explained the situa-
ton to the crowd. The entire acci-
dent was a frame up on the part of
the local headquarters of the Boy
Scouts, who wished during the cam
paign tosgive the people a practical
demonstration of what a scout can
do in time of emergency. The
driver Of the car was the local scout
executive himself, in civilian clothes,
while the lad was also a member OF
the Boy Scouts of America. Mr..
Boardman gave a short talk, asking
the people to back up the Boy Scout
campaign which would do much to-
ward making useful boys of the scouts
to the community.

NEWBERRY FUND is
NOW BEING EXCEEDED
CONTINUED from page -

The first act of congress relating to
campaign contributions was approved
in 1907. 1t prohibits corporations
from making money contributions In
connection with political elections.
The law providing for publicity Of
contributions in campaigns for the
elections of senators and representa-
tives was enacted in June. 1910. h
law was amended the followine year
so as TO provide, among other things,
that no candidate for the senate or
the house should expend or cause TO
be contributed more than allowed by
the state laws. and that in the case of
candidate for the House. he should not
expend more than $4,000, and In the
case of O candidate for the senate, that
he should not expend more than SlO,-
900. The law was further strengthen
ed in 1912 and 1918 by amendments.
The charge has been made by Sena-
tor Borah and others that the expendi-
lures of money to influence elections
has been on the increase during the
last decade andsthat in the present
campaign 1t threatens to become.a ma
tional scandal on both the Republican

SEE LITTLE CHANCE OF ACTING
ON HOUSING BILLS TODAY
Dv specfa, Correspondent.

Bu Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, June 2.-Prospects of
the housing and rem prolteering leg
islation being passed today and sent
to Governor Edwards for his sigma
ture looked very remote at noon. es-
pecially when IL was learned that the
special committee appointed pass up
on the five bills on the subject had no
definite report to make. Senator Run
yon, of Union, chairman of the special
committee. said the situation was still
very much unsettled and he thought
that before the bill which passed the
assembly some weeks g could be
reported to the senate that they would
have to be revamped.
Senator Simpson of Hudson, a mem
Der of the investigating committee.
declared he hoped the five bills would
be reported n passed.
Personally" said the Hudson man,
"Ithing there's doubtful merit about
measures but my people and the Jer-
sey City commission wants them
Senator Pilgrim, of Essex. the
third m smber of the committee from
the upper House. is understood to be
against the bills.
In this situation Republican floor
leaders of the senate this morning
talked of taking a recess until prob
ably September. They will not ad-
journ sine-die, because they want to
watch Governor Edwards appoint
ments, which he had yet TO make.
Over in the louise a quorum could
not be mustered when that body re-
convened this morning. Only eleven
men answered the roll call. 1t is
likely hat the House Democrats Will
make another attempt today to ad-
Journ sine-die. charging the Republi-
cans with falling down on the hous-
Ing and renting profiteering relief
bills.
A lobby of women and men from
up the state was here today again
busy in the interest of the passage
of the five bills, but It was pretty
generally conceded that the prospect
of their passing today or at any sub
sequent date is very remote.
All kinds of doubts have been
placed before the special committee
about the merit of the housing bills.
Their constitutionality has been at
tackled and the argument used is:
Why pass Unconstitutional bills"
Another point against them is how
are you going to get at a profiteer
and prove him guilty. Several hear
ings were held by the committee but
1t was stated here today that nothing
constructive had been offered at
these hearings In the way of sugges-
tons.
