DUCKS FLIGHT HITS THEORY
May Lead to New Discoveries oea-
corning the Migratory Habits -
Certain Wild Fowls.

Carl Jensen Of Camrose, Alberta,
recently shot a pintail duck whose
leg was encircled by a metal band,
on which was engraved, Released
by the American museum at New
York. Will the finder please notify
U.S." The distance between New
York and Camrose is 1880 miles.
Jensen owns a farm in the newly
settled area along the Canadian Ma
tional railways, which is a meeting
ground for wild geese and many
varieties Of ducks. These fowl had
already begun their migration
southwark when the pintail was
killed. How far this particular duck
had been North is not known. The
summer habitat of the pintail ex-
tends as far as the Arctic ocean.
But the direction of this ducks
flight from New York, it is pointed
out, is scientifically interesting. In
their spring migrations, aquatic
fowl it has been thought, fly
straight north. If the pintail had
lived up to this tradition, it would
have gone from New York into the
highlands of Ontario or Labrador.
The fact that it winged its way
westward half across the continent
has upset existing theories and may
lead to new discoveries regarding
the migratory habits of wild fowl.

LIMITATIONS DO NOT LIMIT.

We all have our limitations, but few
Of US realize when we have reached
them.
The average American is a peculiar
individual. An obstacle may seem
mountain high to him, but he has an
inherent objection to acknowledging
that it is insurmountabIe. The APP
parently impossible only whets his
determination to conquer.
Perhaps it is just as well that limi-
tations do not bother US. We are not
afflicted with the doubts and uncer-
tainties and vacillations that 'retard
the progress of some countries. We
accomplish our tasks while many peo-
piles ar edebating their possibility.
1t is an American trait, and a good
one.

you indulge in your hour or two Of re
Election, is your business uppermost in
your mind? 1t shouldn't be. 1t but
adds to the general mental fatigue
which already weights you down.
Possibly you have a home, lawn,
a back yard, and a garden. Thinking
and planning for their improvement
will afford your tired brain the change
and relaxation it requires.
That hour of reflection each day
will produce wonderful results if en-
ployed in the proper manner, whereas
continued concentration upon affairs
of business will blunt your intellect
and weaken your powers of perception.
Grass will not grow without water
to nurse it along, and neither will the
brain continue to function without the
rest that is necessary to replenish
its exhausted vitality.

.SCOOTING Is GOOD.

We note in the daily press that the
draft evaders are to be gathered in
and punished.
Following our usual custom, adj
vance information has been published
broadcast, in order that the guilty may
take to the tall timber while yet there
is time.
If any be overbold, and remain in
their accustomed haunts, possibly
some other form of warning will be
employed, coupled with an urgent init
nation that it is time to scoot while
scooting is good.
If any are so foolish as to continue
to decline to take safety in flight, we
presume they will be reluctantly
pinched and politely requested to face
the music.
In any other country the arrests
would be made first and the blowing
afterwards.
Goodbye, slackers! Go as far as
you can and forget to return.

HOGS AMONG HOGS.

The legal methods being taken by
city and state governments to curb
the rent hogs should, if successful,
have an important bearing upon the
general reduction of prices.
In the large cities probably great
majority of the laboring classes are
renters They do not own their own
homes.
When greedy landlords, now COM
monty termed rent hogs, boost their
rents to impossible figures, it is but
natural that the occupants of these
houses and apartments should insist
upon wages sufficient to meet the
strain.
1t. is just such conditions that keep
prices up, and will prevent any appre-
cable decline as long as these con-
ditions exist.
Of all of the profiteers who have
cursed this country the rent hog is
probably the worst.
When he is curbed it should not be
difficult to bring other prices down to
q reasonable basis.
