CONTRACTS TO GROW
ALCOHOLIC MELONS

melons for each Of three real es-
tate dealers of Burlington, Mr..
Chanlear to receive 81 for each
melon that equals or exceeds 10
per cent alcoholic content.
When the melons are half
grown Mr.. Chanlear will plug
each melon and insert in the cav

special yeast of his own inven-
ton. The rind part of the plug
will then be replaced, covered
with grating wax and sealed in

Washington, April o.-New
notes on the subject of mandates
have been sent by the American
government to Japan, Great Brit
ain, France and Italy. The notes
are understood to be very similar,
butt the occasion for preparing
them is said to be the receipt of
the Japanese reply to the original
American note protesting against
a Japanese mandate over the for
mer German islands in the Pacific
north of the equator. But it is
learned they are broad enough to
cover all American rights grow
ing out of the war. State depart

the documents. They are part
of series begun by Mr.. Col

sisted upon its full rights as one
of the allied powers, and also the

comes up again.
Much of the business of the
court was taken up with consider

in connection with the Lexing-

BIRDS RETURN TO
Their FIRST NESTS
(By Associated PreSs)

Urbana. H.. April 6-Though
many birds from this section mi
CRATE as far south as Central and
South America, it has been found
by actual test that many of them
return to the same localities and
sometimes even to the same nest.
Results of inquiry in the Middle
West and South covering a num-
Der of years, are reported by
Frank Smith, professor of zoolo-
gy at the University Of Illinois, in
the annual Illinois Arbor Day and
Bird Book.
Facts were obtained by trapping
birds, placing small leg bands on
them, and letting them go. Here
are some Of the things Professor
Smith records:
A catbird banded near Cleve-
land, O., in 1914, was retakcn Ill
the same locality the following
year. Two catbirds banded i'll
1916 were retaken in 1917 and enc
of them was again taken in 1919.
CatbirdS winter as far south as
Panama.
A chimney swift banded in 1916
was retaken in the same chimney
the following year. Chimney
swifts winter wholly south Of the
United States.
A tiny house wren banded in
1915 was retaken in 1916 and
found to be using the same nest
box that it had occupied the pre-
ceding year, in rearing its second
brood of that summer. House
wrens winter in the south Attain
tic and Gulf states.
Tests at Thomasville, Ga, with
birds classed as winter resi-
dents" because they fly into the
Northern states and into Canada
during the summer months, show
ed these results:
Eight chipping sparrows band
ed in 1916 were all retaken in
1917. Three chipping sparrows
were retaken in 1917 that had
been banded in 1915. Several
myrtle warblers and white-throat
ed sparrows banded is 1916 were
retaken the following year.

MADISON HI SHOWS
A STAR PITCHER
But He Couldn't Win by Himself,
So Local Boys Lost to WIN
chester, S to 0

Because they are painfully
weak at the bat and in the field,
Madison High Schools base ball
nine was defeated by Winchester
Hi here Tuesday afternoon by a
score of 5 to 0. The one feature
of the game was the box work of
Sam Reid, for Madison Hi This
youngster had everything" eX-
cept support. Nine players of his
calibre would make it hard for
any high school team in the state,
was the opinion of old ball play
ers who watched his work.
Reid is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. !.
H. Reid, formerly of Hustonville.
Lincoln county. He is a close
cousin of Howard Camnitz, also
of Hustonville, originally, and
once the star twirler for Pitts
burg in the National League.
Fans who remember the famous
style of "Cammy" say that young
Reid works very much like him.
The youngster has fast ball that
is bird and a quick breaking
curve that not only had the op-
posing batters. breaking their
backs after it, but very often fool
ed his own catcher with its wide
and quick sweep. Reid is only To-
years old, and undoubtedly has a
great future before him on the
diamond, if he continues to devel-
op as he gives promise Of dong.
Outside of him, the best work
for Richmond was done by Har-
vey Brock. Clouse caught fairly
good game for Richmond and La
fon Wilson, who succeeded him
the later innings also did as we'll
as possible with such speed and
curves as Reid was dishing up.
The Winchester boxman had a
nice curve but little speed, but the
local batters couldn't knock it forI
and when they did there was a !
fielder waiting for it.
