JURY DECIDES
 OWLS GAN LIVE

Washington, July 2--The owls can live The John Burroughs Club jury appointed by President Harding when visiting the White House some time ago to consider the questions says so and the jury so reported today in a memorandum filed by the youngsters with George B. Christian, Jr- the Presidents secretary. The finding of the jury is based upon the club s investigation and upon hundreds of briefs filed with the American Pores try association for the club from every section of the country.
 These briefs took up every phase of owl values as pest destroyers to their fabled influence on the lives of human beings. Some of the writ CTS called upon President Harding to are any in the White House grounds and predicted all kinds of bad luck for his administration The John Burroughs club, however, considered only the economic value of the owls, for the question put to them by Judge Harding was in regard to birds that preyed on other birds be- ing allowed to live.
 The finding of the jury as filed at the White House today follows:
 '.In spite of the fact that these birds destroy others of their own ilk. they have to their credit and in de- fence of their lives the fact that they are of much economic value and
 
 favor.
 we shall take for instance, the crow, whose value is lessening the number of harmful insects was so great that for a long time scientists working for the government were unable to say whether his bad acts counterbaLanced his good deeds.
 Next we take the Great Horned but even he kills rats, mice and other rodents.
 Finally we come to the Coopers and Sharp-Skinned Hawks. who. es- brought wrath and hate upon the heads of even the less destructive birds of prey of the country.
 "But then, can we convict a whole class of Gods creatures because a few have been known to slaughter their own kind? Can that inexora- ble law of nature, '~Fhe survival of the fittest," which has been since the world began be br~ken by us who owe so much to it, eveu unto our very existence? Do we put a sentence of death on all bears because a few have been known to e$t domestic an imals2 We kill them if we know they are guilty. that Is all If we must also pass sentence on the par asitic vine, which encircles and saps the life from the sturdy forest tree,
 May, it is not for us to do these things, if it were Gods will they should perish, it would be unneces- sary for us to pit our puny selves against the countless flocks o'er our nation, therefore, we. the John Bur roughs Club of Force School, wish to state to His Honor. the President of the United States, sitting as a judge in this case, that these birds should not die, but should be allowed to re- main alive in their native haunts, with no legislative sentence hanging, a dread menace, over their heads.

USE CROWBAR ON
 MAN-EATTNG MULE

Long Creek, Ore, July 2-Clarence Porter, young son of Allen Porter, had to be pried loose from a man eating mule with a crowbar. when the recalcftrant animal sunk it's teeth in his leg and refused to let go. Clubs, stones and knives had no more effect on the mule than Sis cuss words on the famous Maud, and the iron crowibar had to be inserted be- tween the jaws and the mouth forced open before the boy could be re1eas- ed.
 Young Porter was seriously tnjur- ed, the flesh on his leg being torn away from the. bone.
 The animal was to be branded, and Porter was holding its head while another man tied it's feet. In trying to control the mule. Porter struck 1t with a. spur, but the animal snapped onto the spur. drew the lad closer and seized his leg in a stubborn grip.
