1t has been proven times with
out number that Edison and
Victroba Photographs are
vastly superior to any other
machine made.
In 1918, 1919 and 1920 it
was impossible to supply the
demand. As a result. the mar
ket was flooded with numer-
Gus inferior makes. The pub
lie bought them because they
could not get what they want
ed in Nictors and Edisons.
Many Of those inferior makes
will now be compelled to go
out of business, since the two
leading makes are able to
meet the demand. Get the
machine you will always be
satisfied with-a Victor or an

Louisiana Getting Tired Of Jocks and
Horses.
The sudden and unexpected passage
by the Louisiana constitutional con-
,yention of a measure which prohibits
the transmission. publication or cir.
culauon of information concerning
.oddsaon horse races brought up today
the question as to what effect 1t will
have on horse racing in the state. says
New Orleans, La, dispatch.
A..Variety of: opinions were offered
by attorneys and others, ranging from
q belief that the action will stop rae
Ing altogether to the opinion that the
whole question is an Interstate matter
and there the state cannot regulate it.
The measure was offered as an
amendment to the schedule Of the
general provisic.ls committee which
reads:
rGambling is vice and the legisla-
ture shall enact laws to suppress it."
Being introduced without previous
notice, the amendment was made the
subject of one of the most interesting,
although brief, parliamentary battles
yet waged in the convention. The
final voice >on its passage was 6S yeas
and al nays.
The amendment came. as bolt
from O. clear sky The convention
had the schedule Of the general pro-
visions committee under consideration
and was nearing the end, when Mr..
Brazeale proposed the following as a
new ordinance: 49,
1.-THE transmission, publication or
circulation of information concerning
horses entered in races or the odds
offered for same Is prohibited. The
legislature shall provide penalties for
the violation thereof" -
4 point of order was made that it
was a new ordinance and under the
'ules it could not be introduced as
such without the consent of the con-
vention. President Bouanchaud sus-
..ained the point of order, whereupon
Brazeale offered it as an amendment
to the schedule Of the general pro-
visions committee. An effort to table
the amendment was voted down, Sc

THE COWBIRD

| HE COWBIhO
Order-Passeres; Genus, Molothrus:
Family, Icteridae: Species, Alter. The
Greek word, molothrus, means vasa-
bond and the Latin word, ater, means
black or dirty: hence Dirty Vagabond,
a term richly! deserved by this bird,
whose doings are 4 reproach to-. the
avian world. 49,
The range is North America and
the breeding zone from southern Brit
ish Columbia, southern Mackenzie
southern Keewatin. Ontario, Quebec
and New Brunswick south to Califor-
MIA on the Pacific and to North Caro-
lima on the Atlantic.
1t occurs in winter in f1ocks in the
Southern states, sometimes found
around cattle yards. sometimes in the
fields where it feeds on grain and Of
ten on burnt ground, probably search
ing for insects and burnt seeds.
Male Pretty Color.
"The male is lustrous green black.
with steel-blue, purple and violet ir-
ridence. Head and neck deep wood
brown, with some purplish lustre. Bill
and feet black Length 7.50 to s in
ches. Adult female is an obscure
looking bird, dusky grayish brown,
nearly uniform but paler below than
above, where most Of the feathers have
dusky centres; and most of the under
parts have dark shaft lines, giving
somewhat streaky appearance. Some
gloss on upper parts, particularly on
wings and tail, where a slight green
sh lustre is usually evident. Bill
blackish- brown, paler below; feet
blackish- brown. Smaller than the
male. Length from to 7.50 inches"
(Coues). The young are still duller
and more variegated.
Like the famous English Cuckoo the
Cowbird builds no nest, but lays its
eggs in the nests of other birds. US
ually in the nests Of smaller birds.
whose young usually perish on account
of the gluttony Of the changcling
thrust upon their parents. Cowbirds
lay about eight eggs, and as these
hatch In from 10 to II days, before
the eggs of other birds. this gives the
offspring Of the, ,Cowbird an advantage
from the outset.
Will Not Build Nests.
Birds resort to all kinds of devices
TO get the strange eggs out of their
nests. Robins and other birds build a
layer over them. sometimes two or
three layers; but after the egg Is
Matched most birds bestow more care
on the changeling than on their own
broods, perhaps because of its insist
ent cries for more food.
Mr.. Wayne says:
Although the Cowbird. a wintor
visitant. arrives as early as July. %,
it is not really abundant until Janu-
airy and February. when thousands
frequent the .~rsre fields, in company
with Boat:tailed andSFlorida Grackles.
1t finds.%abundance of food in the
straw from which the rice has been
threshed. Sometimes numbers OF
these birds reseft to fields which have
been planted in oats and cause great
damage. They also frequent burnt
ground" 81

bird imposes, has now been ascertain

les. While most of the birds thus out
ragged are smaller birds, Cowbird
