Bird club
n otes

Birds cannot open the foot when
the leg is bent; that is the reason
they do not fall out Of the trees
when asleep. If we watch a hen
walking we will notice that She
closes her toes as she raises her foot
from the ground and opens them
when it touches the ground.
Birds can see much better and
farther than any other known ami
NAL. Their vision is said to be
one hundred times as acute as is
mans. A brown kingfsher perched
on post near a newly-plowed
field sees and pounces upon the ex-
posed part of worm from any dis
lance up to 100 yards away.
A lady in New York has birds
boarding house. She does not
know just how many bird boarders
she has. 1t is said her assistants
counted up to seven hundred but
did not finish because it kept them
so busy attending to their wants.
The clubhouse occupies three floors
and basement. When a visitor
drops in CHEEKY voice says:
Hello, and then begins to sing
Yankee Doodle" The singer is a
Mexican yellow-headed parrot. He
is a wonderful bird, one in ten
thousand and is worth thousands
of dollars. He sings: Marching
through Georgia and shouts
Viva la France" which makes us
think his mistress must be- French
woman.
If this bird happens to be in a
showing off mood he will ask
"Can you spell cat? | can spell
cat, cat, cat. He will do the
same with the word dog. Then
he asks, "What does the canary
do?" and will twitter and trill
showing how the canary sings.
There is also in this bird board
ing house big white Malacca
cockatoo with a rose-tinted crest
which is worth several Thousand
dollars. Coco he is called. This
bird does side tracking dance
! when in a frisky mood and does
gymnastic stunts from a chair tc
attract attention, calling Hello
Hello!' He can talk in both
French and English.

Woman's New Role
Our Party Relations

Doubtless very many women IN
Audubon county are finding it diff
6cult to decide whether to become
democrats or republicans under the
new order.
There is an answer to this ques-
ton which appears to merit the
thoughtful consideration of every
woman. 1t is that the women of
the nation, while in name perhaps
joining one party or the other,
should actually maintain far
greater degree Of independence in
oheir voting than do the men.
Given an army of women in
America who have set up the right
as their one sole standard in de-
Gliding public questions, we should
witness udden end of the pres
ent situation by which cunning
crooks and grafters can too often
outwit the people and get their
willy schemes enacted into law.
More than this, the day would
quickly come when political parties
would fear to act IN bad faith, as
they often do at present, because
of the certainty Of disaster to fol
low. And finally it would put an
end forever to the present fraud Of
corrupt machine politics.
Because of their blind loyalty to
party, men have failed lamentably
to keep our government clean anc
pure. The question is, Is not this
a fault for women to try to avoid,
For it is certain that if they did so
they would eisily be able to accom-
plish that which the men have
never been able to do.

RESCUE 231FROM POWHATAN AF TER DAYS OF TRYING.
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-All the 231 passengers on board the diabled army transport Powhatan have been trans ferred to the transport Northern
 Pacific and are on their way to New
 York. This news was received here
 tonight in wireless messages, confirm
 ing previous reports from Halifax. The
 transfer of the passengers was affected
 late today under good weather con-
 ditions, and without any accident oc-
 curing.
 The safe transfer of the Powhatan's passengers brings to a close a string sea drama which opened last Sunday when the fist message was received from the transport that the ship was leaking, the fire room flooded, diate assistance needed.
 The wireless calls for help were quickly responded to by half a score of vessels which put out from Cana dian and American ports or rushed to the scene from mid ocean. They found the disabled transport rolling heavily In stormy sea, without lights or heat. but were helpless to render any aid in the face of the persistent gale.
 For four days more the Powhatan lay helpless in the face of the unabat ing storm while a growing fleet of would be rescuers made vain efforts to take her in tow or affect a transfer of her passengers. On repeated oc- casions tow lines were passed, only to snap like thread under the terrific strain of the disabled vessels dead weight, the surging sea and the fierce wind. The weather moderated yes terday but it was not until today, however, that it was possible to rescue the passengers from the cheerless sea prison on which they had been i'm for five days without heat or light.
 HALIFAX, Jan. 22.-The transfer of the passengers from the disabled trans | port Powhatan to the steamship North l ern Pacific, twas made tonight with | out any serious mishap under the blaze l of the powerful searchlights from | United States destroyers and other | ships that were standing by, according | to a wireless message received here. | The task, however, was difficult. al- | though the weather was milder and the sea calmer than it had been for many days.
 The fact that his passengers were from cold and exposure and he improvement in weather conditions. t was stated. prompted Captain Ran iall to undertake the risk of affecting he transfer by night.

MAKE PROGRESS
 ON COMP ROM|SE AGREEMENT.
IRepublIean A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-Progress
 toward complete agreement on com promise reservation to the peace treaty, first reported yesterday, was continued today by the bipartisan committee of senate leaders.
 The Lodge reservation to article 10 of the league of nation covenant, the pivotal reservation of the whole con- troversy. was considered almost ex- clusively at today's session of the fou. republican and five democratic lead- CTS, and tonight spokesmen for both factions joined in expressions hopeful of ultimate settlement. One of the democratic leaders said he looked for troverted reservation but that confer ences on other reservations probably would continue into next week.
 In view of the optimistic reports from both sides, the milk reservation" republicans and other senators who stated today that nothing would be done to interfere with the leaders negotiations until some definite out come was evident.
 Many propositions for change in the Lodge reservation on Article 10 of the league of nations text were considered today by the bipartisan committee.
 T wish to state,'' said Senator Ere that I will not be bound by any agreement, tentative or other Wise, which in any way materially changes in substance the reservation by majority vete of the 5enate.c
 Leaders taking eoguizance of the New Jersey senator's statement ex- pressed confidence that if the nine of the bi- partisan commit l tee succeeded in agreeing there was title chance but that their compro- i mise would finally receive the neces- | sary 64 votes in the senate.
 In the negotiations as to a reserva- 1 ion affecting Article 10 it is reported | hat the republican committee is mak- ng material concession regarding the orm and language of the reservation put is remaining adamant against ,hange in the fundamental principles if the Lodge reservation.

Tense Moments In Socialists
 Trial; Lawyers Engage in TiIts

[ whe,i John B. StanchfieId. committee
 counsel, attempted to question the wit
 ness concerning conversation he had with Miller.
 Ut isn't competent or direct evil dence," snapped Seymour Stedman of Chicago for the defense. We don't know this maK Miller Who is going to dispute what he said?'
 "In response to my eloquent and dis tinguished friend from the west, let me suggest that he must have over looked the fact that there is the ex- press charge that these five men here involved had been party to a con- splracy to subyert our law and to over- turn the government by force" said Mir StNlchfield.
 Tn reply to the distinguished gentle men whose consciousness of himself is never absent, let me say this is a new thing that we are now on trial for conspiracy retorted MT. Stedman T suppose we will have another offense by tomorrow morning. T
 After Mir. Hillquit had recalled that the committee had promised a fair trial, sAssemblyman Bloch said he ob- jected to that continual reminder, and that he believed "1he statement is only made to create@ar impression with the press that you are not getting a fair trial"
 If this testimony and testimony of any similar kind is permitted, we have not fair trial; we have a travesty on 1 justice" said MT. Hillquit to Mr. Bloch. | T should be very reluctant to make myself party to farce of this kind l As far as l am concerned, and think | speak for my associates, wherever testimony of this kind is called wei shall take absolutely no part in the proceedings. It is as if we were absent.'
 The chair overruled the objection: he socialist counsel did not withdraw, put the day. on which the first evi- fence was presented ended abruptly then despite objection by the socialist ofces committee counsel obtained ad- ournment until next Tuesday to re- yiew their evidence.
