Washington Pezet, is the playwright. The Ambassador and Mime. Pezt entertained at a sup per party after the show, when their guests included Governor Richie, oi Maryland.
 Much of the entertaining of the past seven days and moro centered around two couples of the old ad- mInistration circle who happened to visit Washington at the same time former Vice President and Mrs. Mar shall, and former Secretary of A.gri- culture and Mrs. Edwin T. Meredith Both were surely welcomed back to Washington with open arms by their many friends of both political par ties. The Marshalls were here about a fortnight and were entertained both formally and informally; the mos, formal party, of course, was the one the President and Mrs. Harding gave for them-st least they and Mrs Coolidge were the chief guests-when dinner was served in the state din ing room, the first entertaining that has smacked of real function at the executive mension In months.
 The Merediths, who were noted for their hospitality while they were in the cabinet, had, a cozy little dinner on Monday evening when the Mar shaIls and Judge c. c. McChord of the interstate commerce commission and Mrs McChord were the guests -rl. close to each other in the last days of Woodrow Wilson's administration and they had happy time talking over old times. The McChords will entertain for the Merediths before they leave for their home in Des- Moines.

SOUTH AMERICAN FL DORADO

W. Nephew King, in Leslie's:
 Though at least 75 per cent of the Venezuelan cil lands are under control of English syndicates, Amer ican companies are fighting them hard for supremacy and. with this in view, some exceptionally strong combinations have recently been ef- fected in this country. One of the greatest of these was between the Standard Oil ot New Jersey and the Maracaibo Oil company. The latter owns a number of concessions in diff ferent parts Of Nenezuela--but an area so vast that no one concern could afford to develop it. Test drilling had proven part of this ter ritory, many of the wells coming in at l,0oo feet and showing high grade oil of light gravity and with a par affin base. These favorable condi- tions are rarely found In any one To- cality, so that the Standard Oil was not long in making up its mind to join forces With the smaller or ganization. An agreement was soon arranged by which the Standard oil agreed to advance all necessary capi- tai and do the drilling provided the Maracaibo company would assume part of the eXpense--this to be paid. however, out of production ana turn oNeT q siidtl ptiteutdse Ol Its capital stock.
 Three days after this contract had been signed, steamer left New York for Venezuela laden with machinery for building roads and drilling. The outfit is now in the Mene Grande fields and the locations for drilling have been selected. The first will be close to that of the General As phalt company, the others in the Miranda and Perija districts. To oil men this means more than to the ,ayman, for the departure Of the New Jersey company from its policy of ''letting the other fellow do the guessing for oilr is indicative of the fact that hereafter the Stand arr Oil will become a producer as well as refiner.
 The next of the larger American companies to enter the Venezuelan fields was the Texas oil company and this was accomplished through the medium of the Carlo syndicate. The arrangemcnt between the Texas and the Carib was such that an other organization was incorporated This is known as. the Carib com pany. and a fivc-year option on 5i per cent Of Is stock was given to the Texas for sS.ooo. 900. on condi- ton that 1t would advance s25o.0o0 & year for the development of the Carib properties.

PLANT TREES FOR
 BIRD ATTRACTION
New York Professor Says Practice Would Preserve
 Fowls Now Disappearing

New York, October 10-Trees, the birds should be planted by home owners, according to Prof. Alan k. Arnold, of the New York State Col lege of Forestry, who declares that many of our native birds are dlsap- bearing because of the lack of food and shelter.
 Professor Arnold has made public list of plants attractive to birds, which included many of the most or nomental of plants. This included the native red cedar, which provides the best shelter and nesting sites tor birds, while they find food in the ber- ries and Insects commonly found on the trees.
 The native towering dogwood and the Chinese Towering crabapple are also favorites of the birds. The gray -stemmed dogwood, honeysuckle, American elder ard sheepberry also arc serviceable. The Virginia creep CT is given as one of the most popu- lar vines, furnishing nesting sites for birds and draws attention of birds away from grapes, apples and peaches.
 'If one has a place where plants of wilder sort can be introduced" said Professor Arnold, and wishes to make a special point of attracting birds. there is 8 great variety of na- tive plants that could not perhaps be used for more finished effects but hero would be just the thing. These arc mulberry tupelo and white spruce, such shrubs as the spice bush. choke cherry and swamp rose and bittersweet and frost grapevines. The Towering dogwood mulberry. wild black cherry. bayberry. Ameri- can elder and hjgh-bush blueberry can be counted on in general to at- tract the bluebird, cardinal. flicker, kingbird. Baltimore oriole, robin and cedar waxwing.
 The home owner interested in ob- serving birds himself or affording an opportunity for his children; the farmer who desires to protect his fruit crops and the person who W shes to assist in the conservat ton of our city and our forest trees, as well as our native birds, can perform great public service by planning his planting with the birds In mind"

HISTORICAL DOCUMENT
REVEALS EARLY LIFE OF
ROOSEVELT AS RANCHER

New York--New and important
light was thrown on the career of Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt when the
Roosevelt Memorial association an
nounced the gift of a seven-page
manuscript in Mr.. Roosevelt's hand,
written in 1884. The manuscript is
the gift of Joseph A. Ferris of Terry,
Montana, who was a storekeeper in
Medora, N. D., where Roosevelt was a
ranchman in the adjacent Bad Lands.
The manuscript is historically Of
the greatest importanee.~Itc II contains
the minutes Of the first meeting Of
the Little Missouri River Stockman's
association, and reveals that this
meeting f.whata,aas~;ss@efeoctna vigil
lance committee and the first law-and-
order body in western North Dakota,
was called to order by Roosevelt and
that its first action was to elect Roose-
welt its chairman. The meeting was
in Medora, December 10, 1884, and
was, attended by the dozen most I'M
fluential ranchmen Of the region.
The manuscript: came to- the associ-
alton as the result of its efforts to col
lect material concerning Colonel
Roosevelt. Hermann Hagedorn, di-
rector of the associations bureau Of
research, came upon it in little farm
in Montana year ago in the course Of
a journey through the Roosevelt
country in search Of material for a
book on Rooscvelt's ranching days,
but it was only in response to the as
sociation's recent appeal for Roos avelt
material that this manuscript was
actually presented

Capt. Brown, Charged With Permit
ting Gambling, On Trial

The case OF the state VS. w. 5,
Brown, Captain Of the police, charged
with permitting gambling in con.
nection with a circus held in Minot
last summer, is being tried in district
court in Minot this week before Judge
Burr Of Rugby, who arrived Monday
to hold term Of court.
The case is being prosecuted by At
torney Crum, from the Attorney Cen
erals office.
The case at this writing is being
argued before the jury and may go to
the jury this afternoon.
According to the evidence brought
out, Brown was left alone in charge Of
the police department the day Of the
circus, the Chief, Larry Bryne, being
out of the city,. H. ]. Hecht, special
policeman, was looking after affairs
at the circus. Brown made trip to
the grounds but said he could not re-
main long, but while at the grounds
he did not see any gambling. The
state claims that Brown knew gamb-
ling was being permitted .on the
grounds. .:
The case against Larry Bryne,
charged with grand larceny, in con-
nection with the retaining of a whis-
key car by the police department, will
come up at this term. Bryne claims
to have had permission from the in
sur.lnce company to retain and to use
tkAAs:ssS which is still in his possession.
II is believed generally that little will
come of the action and Byrne's friends
look for speedy vindication.
No court was held today, Thanks
