Highly Interesting
Bird Films Shown

The showing of the two govern

by the public generally. The films
were supplied for exhibition here
by the geological survey of the De-
partment of Agriculture Of Wash
ington and very impreasively por-
trayed the life of and protective
measures needed to>cGnserye the life
of the birds of the nation, The
films portrayed the lives of the
herons of Mississippi county, Arkan-
sas, and the everglades of Florida;
how those pretty specimens of wild
fowls We're slaughtered, that the
market may be supplied with the
flowing aigrettes as millinery orna-
ments, and that during the period
of breeding was when the plumage
was at it's lovliest
1t was shown that to see a fully
matured aigrette meant that the
baby herons of the mother slaughter
ed for that plumage, starved to
death. At no other time than the
mother period are the aigrettes
to be had of the fowls. Another
film very beautifully pictured the
bird life upon the great expanse OF
bird reserves along the coast of the
Gulf Of Mexico. BY means Of ex-
hibiting educational films the gov
eminent hopes to instill into the

Fred McCrory, aged Is years, of
East Poplar street, was arraigned
before Police Judge Batten this
morning charged with Kissing two
dogs and causing them to bite Ward
Stanton, another youth of the same
neighborhood, but younger than the
McCrory boy. The incident occurred
Saturday morning. Judge Batten
fined the youngster $1,000 and the
costs but the defendant later in the
morning asked for an appeal; the
court, instead, granted a change of
venue in the case to Judge Honey,
of the juvenile court.
The McCrory boy, it is alleged,
deliberately Kissed the two dogs
upon the Stanton youth and the
latter was seriously bitten in both
lower limbs. 1t was stated that
had it not been for the intervention
of some women in the neighborhood
the Stanton child would have been
dangerously hurt by the infltriated

Ed Cole Announces
For Sheriff's Office

The Daily Press and The Soil
public the announcement that Ed
Cole is a candidate for the office
Iof Sheriff Of Greene county, subject
to the will of the voters at the
Democratic primary election to be
held August Sth, 1922. In the
usual department of candidates III
this issue will be found the formal
card of Mr.. Cole to which the at
tention of the voters is invited. lie
instructed the writer TO say for him
that he is in the race TO a finish
and wishes to solicit the considera
ton Of each voter in the county.
This is MIR. Coles second race
for the Democratic nominee for the
office of Sheriff, he having partici-
pated in the last primary election
when he was defeated for that dis
tinction by Sheriff Stepp. He said
he believed the citizens OF the cOun-
ity would appreciate his claims in
the present contest and would favor
him with the honor, which he hear
tily solicits and hopes to enjoy.
Mr. Cole till recently was en-
gagged in the grocery business in
lParagould a greater portion of that
career having been experienced at
the location on West Hunt street
till fine destroyed the building and
the stock contents. In that de-
Istruction Mr.. Cole lost much money,
lost an established trade and was
practically put out of anything to
do in point Of earnings. The loss
fell heavily upon him, it is said.
However, he desires it understood
that those facts are not related f0l
the purpose of appealing to the pub
lies sympathy; he thinks he Is
entitled to sustain a loss as much
as anyone else and is not "grieving
over spilled milk" even if a lot
was spilled.
Mr.. Cole has spent practically
all of his life in Greene county and
never held public office, other
than representing his city ward
upon the board of alderman upon
three occasions-a position more
honorary than remunerative, but
feels that he is we'll qualified tC
discharge the duties of Sheriff OF
Greene county. His friends claim
for him that he would, if elected
to the position he seeks, devote
his energies and attention to max
ing the county the type of sher
iff the citizens want and that they
would feel proud of having chosen
him as the Democratic nominee al
the polls in August 1t is claimed
that he re-entered the race in the
present contest upon the strong soil
citation of friends throughout the
county and that those friends say
he will be found running at full
speed when the ballot boxes are
closed upon the close of the cleo
ton on August Sth.
Mr.. Cole told The Press and The
Soliphone to say for him that he
will heartily appreciate any and
