fighter OF the bird family! Some will
quickly answer the eagle or the hawk
or some of the other bird tribe. but
the honor belongs to the King bird.
oft times called "fy-catcher. and
known 10 us as the lowly Bee Mar
iin." To those who call things by
their Latin name. he is known as
"Tyranious Tyranious." but TO be
plain, this only means that he is the
tyrant OF the air This harmless
bird is Of the fiy-ca + class and Is
larger than the Gov oifd and not as
large as the barn sweep. II is mis-
called the Bee Martin from the old
superstition that he lived entirely on
bees and as a matter of fact | have
never seen one catch bee but have
seen them capture thousands of in
sects.
II is singular how our forefathers
got things in their heads that certain
birds do immense damage. For in
stance. there are many yet who be-
lieve that the woodpecker still sucks
sap from trees and that the thresher
pulls up corn and that at this season
crows live entirely on corn. But to
get back, the male of the Bee Martin
has spot OF red on the top of the
head and our older people believe
that this red spot resembles flower
and that when q bee sees II he will
make for 1t and the Martin will gulp
him down. They tell you this with
out the bat of an eye and you can
scold as much as you please but YOU
cannot change them The female of
this species does not have the red
flower" so guess they do not catch
many bees.
Some farmers learned long ago to
protect them for the protection they
give around the poultry yard for If a
hawk is close around you may be sure
this gritty little fighter will put him
TO flight for have never failed TO see
the Bee Martin come off victor but

Martin moved on: but the mOekeT
was the aggressOr for he had already
started his nest and guess the birds
have their laws as well as We do.
Farmers could not do better than
throw every protection around them
and they will pay you a thousand
fold.
Speaking of birds. many of us
farmers do not know the small bird
that is seen about noon skimming
near the surface at such high rate OF
speed. One killed himself few days
ago against wire near me and |
identified him as the forked-tailed
swallow. They are of the genus

been demonstrated on various occa-

and even beyond that point in fresh
ness and general attraetiveness. They
have put their heads together and
agreed to offer this merchandise on
Thursday. Friday and Saturday at
such figures as will prove most at
tractive to intelligent buyers.
The sales events staged under the
auspices of the Charlotte Merchants
Association have won for the associa-
tion the favor of host of customers
living beyond the city limits. but
within accessible distance of the
town. The three days set for the
sale will be featured in Charlotte by

of old Charlotte sales events and are
unwilling to let such opportunities

VALUE or ACCURACY
Thousands of Dollars Hang ON Time
Danish Clock struck Twelve.

What time was IL when the castle
clock struck IL.
Ten thousand pounds. normally
about o.0O0. hangs on the answer
TO this question. explains the London
Experss correspondent in Denmark.
which has been the subject of lively
argument in the Eastern Civil Court,
Copenhagen.
The clock in question is in the tow
er of Lystrup castle. the seat OF one
of Denmark's greatest landlords, the
late Count Moltke. a life member OF
the ancient House OF Lords.
Count Moltke died on the night of
December 1872. 1918. few seconds
after the castle clock struck IL. The
Danish Parliament recently approved
a new and increased scale of death
duties. applicable TO the estate of all
persons who died after midnight on
December 1920.
II is contended by the Counts heirs
that the castle clock was fast and
struck a minute too soon. The Count.
they say, died December 10, and
therefore his estate is exempt from
the increase in the death duties.
