HERE'S ONE WORKING MAN
WHO ISN'T COMPLAINING
After Comparing Conditions OF To-
day With Those of Fifteen Years
Ago, MIR. Helms Concludes He
Is Ahead of The Came

In these days we hear so much
about the high cost of living. On look
ing over some old papers the other
day l came across diary which l
kept for the year 1903-only seven
teen years ago-and found notations
of some prices that makes the eye
open. Here are some of them: One
sack of flour, $1.75; 80 TBS bacon,
$2.40; one gallon of molasses, 40
cents; 10 yards calico, SO cents; three
pair ladies' hose, 25 cents; one pair
of shoes $1.75.
By reference to the diary, also
found that I bought 1,498 feet of
lumber for $1O.48; and one thousand
brick for $5.25. At this time / was
living on a farm in dear old Union
County. On another page Of my book
found that was getting forty and
fifty cents day for my work. On
Jan. %, 1903, | sold one bale Of cot
ton for $27.O4. The seed brought
$6.70. On the same day sold four
dozen eggs for sixty-four cents. In
1905 it took three and one-half days
of work to buy sack of -four. Now
| can buy nearly two sacks with one
days work. So, personally, l feel

living. Still, can use that bonus

Scientifically known as the minus
polyglottus, which means, as the read
er may know. "a mimic of many
| throats." Audubon places this wonder
full bird at the top Of the list of the
song birds Of the entire world.
1 am familiar with the nightingale
and skylark of Europe. but the for
mer is mere chatterbox compared to
the minus and it's song is shrill and
monotonouS and as noisy as a captive
canary. The song of the Skylark is
from the clouds. far away that one
cannot fully enjoy it's song, but our
bird loves to live near the dwelling of
man and 1t is not migratory. A few
years ago this bird was in great num-
bers in this District. but the exhnc-
ton of it's winter food supply, the
holly and wild rose. the hawthorns
and many other winter berries, has
driven it to more hospitable locali
ties. Formerly there was a holly tree
in nearly every dooryard in the en-
virons of Washington and the woods
near the city were thick with them.
Those Vandals of the forest, the boys
and the Christmas tree thief, have ex-
terminated them. One may traverse
Rock Creek Park from beginning to
end without seeing holly tree. This
park is scene of winter desolaton
done in gray and brown, without a
note of color. except an occasional
laurel and those dismal sentinels, the
conifers-and not bird to be seen
or heard during the winter! 1t ought
to be illegal to rob the birds or to
sell holly for ephemeral decorations.
Return to Feeding Place.
In the hard winter Of 1917-1sls
pair Of hooking birds appeared in an
old holly tree In our garden feeding
on its scarlet fruit. and now they re-
turn every winter for food. Their
their beauty. their erect carriage.
their valor. make them most interest
ing Of all the feathered tribes.
Audubon describes a battle between
q mocking bird and large black
snake that the bird found in tree
seized the snake by the neck and lit
orally thrashed the snake to ribbons
on the ground and then flew back to
his mate with a song of victory that
was almost human. A gentleman in
this city was an eyewitness in
Georgia to an attack upon cat that
the bird found near its nest. The cat
beat a retreat, the bird bounced upon
him as he struck the ground, beating
him with his wings, clawing and pick
ing at his eyes till they spurted
bloodi The cat managed to turn and
he held up his paws, as If pleading
for mercy, but the cruel talons Of the
bird held fast, until he himself grew
tired and let go, when the blinded cat
crawled away, still with his nine lives.
If the reader is interested in this
bird he will find in Studer's Birds of
America" and in Audubon much to
make him regret the loss Of this bird
to Washington. It's northerly limit Is
the Delaware river.
