MAKE BIRD
CENTERSOF
GOLF GROUNDS

The United States Department of
Agriculture urges golf clubs to equip
their grounds for bird refugees. A
circular of the department says this
can be done with little work or ex-
pense.
The broad expanses of short grass
on the fairways, it is said, furnish
excellent feeding grounds for robins,
meadow larks, starlings, f1ickers and
killdeers. In rougher spots there is
an abundant insect population as
food for birds. Most courses have
water hazards at which the visitors
could battle or drink and many cours-
es are already protected from tress-
pass and are relatively free from
bird enemies.
Protection, food and water are
thus afforded, and the Department
urges the supply of nesting boxes or
other nesting places. Such beautiful
and useful birds as the purple mar
tin, bluebird, housewren, tree swai-
low, flicker, white breasted nuthatcn
and chickadee, will occupy such hous-
es and many other varieties of small
er birds can thus be attracted.
In the future then, it may be ex-
pected that golfers going the rounds
of courses so equipped, may have
cause to bless the birds for doing
away with the buzzing mosquito or
other swarms of flying, biting, sting
ing pests.

A silo is an indication of good farm

In Pennsylvania it has been found

them. Perhaps the silos weren't re-

NEKOOSA ENFORCING
HER LOCAL ORDINANCES

The curfew law in Nekoosa will be
enforced more rigidly than ever, ac-
cording to Police Chief Huxley. This
means all other laws as well. All chill
dren under Is years of age should be
off the streets when the curfew whis-
tie blows, 8:45 p. m. The chief said
that children sent to stores after the
above hour should be accompanied by
the parents or should have a letter ex-
planning why they are out after the
curfew whistle has blown. The po-
lice cannot be guardians for all the
children. Parents should not let them
go driving with their cars. 1t is I'M
lawful for youths under 16 to drive
autoes and if the practice continues
the chief will take steps to prosecute.

ACCIDENTS TOTAL 50
IN STATE FOR JUNE

The Wisconsin highway commits
sion's accident repo4r for the montii
of June shows that there was a tttal
of SO accidents which occurred on the
state trunk highways. In this mum
Der of accidents there were 100 per-
sons involved. Number of persons
killed 6. Number injured, 81. Ac-
cidents without injuries, SO.
The accidents occurred as follows
On straight road, 46. On curves and
corners, 30. On railroad crossings, 5.
On intersecting cross roads, 4. Other
places, 3.
Speeding Chief Factor.
The main cause for most of the ac-
cidents was reckless driving or speed
ing. Out Of the SO accidents, SO of
them were caused by either wreckless
driving or speeding. The remainder
of the causes were due to defectiy e
car mechanism, weather conditions
and miscellaneous other causes.
One of the interesting things
brought out by the figures Of this
month is the fact that out of the So
accidents, only in 80 cases did per-
sons escape injuries, thus showing
that in all accidents during this mouth
less than 45 per cent escaped injury.
Be Careful.
The months of July and August are
the heavy traffic months or, the high
ways, and if the accidents are to be
kept to minimum each and every
driver of cars must be cautious and
observe the rules of the road and
principles of good driving.

feeling relative to the future.

an advance in coke in the event OF

which is having an influence on
values.
Copper was generally steady dur

active than II has been and late in
the week IL was possible to get elec-

although II was felt that any ma

figure would cause a tightening back

has likewise been smaller. ProdCc-

chases for wire purposes have been
encouraging.

port for July when these tactics
