Birds Trust Him
Jack miner has been accepted by
North Americas migratory game
birds as their protector. They have
proven the worth of Miners hobby,
and his is perfect happiness.
Miner loves the wild. But work
ing his farm here occupied ali of his
time. He couldn't travel to study
wild life, so he determined to bring
wild life to him.
His 200 acre place had no features
appealing to wild ducks and geese.
That didn't bother Miner. He began
making an artificial lake back in
1904, damming spring to supply
fresh water. Next, he planted trees,
bushes and plants around It.
Patience Rewarded
Finally two travel worn, crippled
geese were attracted. They found
perfect safety, lake for swimming,
and food in abundance
That was in 1908. Now the geese
and ducks come in thousands, the

EXHAUST GAS is MENACE.
Warning Is Issued BY Doctor At
Mayo Cline.

Rochester. October 14.-That the
increase of the exhaust gases from
automobiles, consequent upon the
rapid expansion of the auto indus
try with its thousands and tens of
thousands new car owners each
year, has become real menace to
the public health Is gradually being
realized by state and city authori.
ties throughout the nation. Even at
this early date in some cities.
warnings have been issued to the
sible the inhaling OF exhaust fumes
Among cities that have fallen in
line is Chicago where the city
health commissioner recently in
structed the chief of police to more
strictly enforce the ordinances for
bidding the use or auto cutouts and
the emission of smoke from auto
exhausts within the city. In a let
ter to the chief the commissioner
stated.
Il an convinced that both gaso-
line fumes and the unnecessary
NOISES as made through the failure
of motorists TO obey the anti nols,
ordinance are a grave menace to
the public health.''
In full sympathy with any move
ment that will tend to mitigate this
evil against health is DR.. Georgine
Luden OF the Mayo Clinic who has
given the subject detailed study
with the result that she is thor
oughly convinced that danger is a
live issue demanding the attention
of the civil authorities. In COM
menting on this subject she states
that nobody can question that auto
exhaust gas kills people owing to
the all too frequent reports of
deaths caused by auto engines being
allowed to run in closed garage.
81 rather doubt however" She
continued. 'if many persons real
ize how dangerous this gas is and
how little of It is needed to kill.
An ordinary engine puffs out one
mixture of one cubic foot of the gas
in go cubic feet OF air is so poison
Gus that a person breathing the
mixture becomes Unconscious in a
very short time"
In making her deductions in re-
1ation to the cancer problem, Dr.
Luder says: ~
1f We review the facts we find
that the mismanagement of body
chemistry f1rthers the development
of cancer: that at least one product
of the combustion of fuel, coal gas
or carbon monoxid, very success
fully upsets the chemistry of the
body for a time anyway; and that
the mortality from cancer seems
highest where the most combustion
takes place. All of these things put
together certainly suggest that
cancer and com bustion products
have something to do with each
other" .- {

Why Support the Home Paper.

|. Because when you were
born it was the home paper that
introduced you to the world.
2. When you grew up and
graduated at the head of your
class the home paper again gave
you a nice write-up about it.
8. When later you found your
life companion and were happily
married the home paper gave
you and your bride a half column
free complimentary account of
the affair.
4. When sickness and mis-
fortune invaded your home, the
sad news was distributed among
your friends and relatives
through the medium of the
home paper.
5. When you have been sue
cessful in life or had been pro-
NOTED to some important posi-
ton, perhaps it was the home
paper that heralded your ability.
6. If you sold out and remov-
ed to some other location, the
home paper followed and brought
the news from friends and
neighbors.
z. When some unscrupulous
person tried to injure your char
acter, it was the home paper
that came to your aid.
8. Because the home paper
boosts your town and its institu-
tions, its people, its schools and
churches, and helps to promote
good fellowship throughout the
community.
9. Because the live merchants
advertise their most attractive
goods and best or lowest bar
gains in the home paper. which
if bought may save you many
dollars.

Judge Hurt Threaiehed Delay Of

the Court of Appeals for a deci-
sion on the validity of the gen.

the 1922 legislature, did not
know on June % how nearly they
came to having the decision held
up for an indefinite period. Just
one interruption of the chief
justice, Rollin Hurt, stood be-
tween the giving out of the
opinion on that day and holding
it indefinitely.
The law was attacked in an in
injunction suit. This was an
informal action and the opinion
was not handed down from the
bench. On June 20 Justice Hurt
was engaged in writing the opin-
ion of the court declaring the
law unconstitutional. Friends,
newspaper representatives, at
torneys and State officials sought
to find out when the opinion
would come down. Justice Hurt
had planned to leave for his
home in Columbia at A p. m.
Numbers of people called the
Justices Office to ascertain the
time the decision might be ex-
pected. Others went to the of
fee. One man did not leave
when he had asked his question,
but loafed about a half hour.
Finally the patience of the
chief justice, who is known as
an especially patient and con-
scientious official, became ex-
hausted. Zone more Interrupt
