LOCAL CITIZENS
Are HONORED
Messrs. Cox, Stroud and Holt Re
ceiyc Volume Issued by Mound
Diggers.

About two years ago there was a
company Of biologists from New
York City spent the summer in ex-
cavating Indian mounds near this
city and in the vicinity of Ozan. The
work was in charge of Mr.. M. R.
Harrington Of the Museum of the
American Indian, Heye Foundation,
which has its headquarters at 55th
Street and Broadway, New York
City.
Most of the work Of excavating
was done on the farm of Mr.. Oscar
Cox, east of this city, and minor ex-
cavations were made on the farms of
Andrew J. Stroud and Jno W. Holt.
This week Messrs Cox, Stroud and
Holt were the recipients Of Mr..
Harrington's four-hundred page il
lustrated book. This was a mark Of
appreciation from the author for the
cooperation of the gentlemen named
above while doing his work here.
The illustrations in the book show
many relics which were unearthed on
the Cox farm. 1t is said that the
vases and other pottery found here
was the finest in the whole collection.
The frontispiece of the book is a rich
ly colored photograph of a vase
found on the Cox farm. In the ac-
count of the work of digging the
mounds the names Of several local
people are mentioned as well as
several citiaens of Ozan, where they
operated for several months and Sc
cured some fine relics.

COMMUNITY HOUSE
FOR WASHINGTON
Old Slate House In This City VIII
BE Preserved BY City Off
cials,

At special meeting of the city
council held Monday night a decis-
ion was reached that should interest
the people of Washington and sur
rounding community. Several weeks
ago a committee from the council
was appointed to investigate the spas
sibility of securing the old Confeder-
ate Statehouse for the city. This
property, which has been in the
hands of Washington Special School
District for many years, will now be
taken over by the town council.
TIE property consists of a cam
plete block and another small build
ing besides the old statehouse. 1t is
the purpose Of the city authorities to
convert the building, which is now
occupied as a residence by B. A
Springs and family, into a communi-
ty building. First, public restrooms
will be arranged and these will be
arranged and these will be open to
the people in the surrounding coun-
try who come to town as well as to
the large number Of tourists who
pass thru Washington. Hon. James
X. Jonees of Washington, d. c., has
long advocated securing this prop
erty for public use. 1t is understood
that he will start a chain letter for
the purpose of securing funds to re-
store the building to its condition
during the War Between the States
as near as is possible. If all plans
are carried out a public library will
soon be started and this will be of
great service to the entire commu-
nifty.
Another important action fo the
council was the creation of Board
-of Health. The following members
were appointed: DIR. F. o. Wood, NJ
W. Cruzen, j. w. Butler, W. T Sui
livan and o. T. Beck. The Board Of
Health is authorized to make and en-
force sanitary regulations for the
city.

weathers Effect on Birds.

Cold and hunger In England has
driven armies of birds, even the Wild
est, into streets and gardens and I'M
wOnted places. Great iocks Of green
plover, which are singularly shy as
rule, appeared in the stackyards and
paddocks Of Hertfordshire villages. In
Buckinghamshire several thousand
rocks in a flock was no rarity; and
old scouts came right up to the back
doors and competed for their food
with the poultry and the pigs. In Lon
don It was curious to see the pigeons
feeding busily on the ice, to the obvi-
Gus irritation of the gulls, whose bills
are useless for securing fragments
from a hard surface. 1t was hard to
be defeated by a land bird In their
own element Starlings showed even
greater ability in picking up morsels
from the foes and even the water Of
the river, a feat very foreign to their
nature.

The present administration Of the

ly believed that eX-servce men who
have permitted their insurance 10 lapse
will avail themselves of this Opportu-
nifty.
Under the previous administration,
the management of the war risk bu-
reau was such as to cause eX-s2rvice
men who had business with it to be-
come disguised and discouraged, owing
to their inability to get either prompt
or satisfactory consideration. Since
the appointment of Col. c, K. Forbes,
as director of the War Risk lnsuf'nce
Bureau, things are being very radically
overhauled in that bureau Red tape
is being cut right and left and cx-ser-
vice men who apply to that bureau lor
aid or relief to which they are entitled
under the law, are receiving prompt
and courteous consideration.

WHO'LL CHALLENGE
ORWELL'S CHAMPION
WOODCHUCK KILLER

Champion canine wood c huck
trapper of Addison County, and OF
all Vermont too! That's who Dick
is. No, he doesn't boast the title
himself. He is too modest and
too industrious to idle his time in
words. But his friends are loud in
their assertion that Dick is the
arch-enemv of woodchucks and
claim that they can show records
to substantiate their vaunt. Sew
enty-three of the garden pests form
his bag to date in 1921, while last
year he rid his masters farm OF
ifty-three. What dog can beat
that? Dicks friends want to know.
Dick is a five year old collie
owned by Ernest Daniels OF Or
well. His devotion to his masters
interests early made him sense the
farmers hatred of the pesky wood
chuck, with the result that he has
studied the best means OF Kidding
his domain of them. Whenever
the Younger members of the fam
ilv. or Mr.. Daniels himself, seem
to have a moment Of leisure, Dick
leases them to accompany him on
one of his many expeditions to the
fields. And woe to the unwary
woodchuck whose scent crosses
Dicks path He tracks them to
their hole in the ground or stone
wall and barks for his aides to
come up and remove the obstacles
between him and his prey. Then
an expert twist and shake and
Dick has scored again Curiously
too, he never brings his game home
on account of the objections of the
family. He had piled up TOO many
they said
When the Register reporter went
to interview Dick Wednesday
about his success and methods, the
champ was on the hunt. TOO
busy to talk" he said, as he check
ed in his 73rd. In reply to the
newspdperman's query about "How
much wood would woodchucE
chuck. .' he again pleaded "no
time" and was off for no. a, with
a hint that the inqusitor refer to
his master for the total OF wood
chucks who will never chuck car
rot tops in the Daniels gardens
