TAKES UP CUDGEL
TODEFEND CROW

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The crow.
however much he may be abused and
mathematical, according to the State
ornitholOgist of Massachusetts,. Ed
ward Howe Forbush, who asks: who
sees the American eagle, and who
does not see or hear the crow?" The
crow has bad name, but possibly he
is not as black as he is painted, says
Forbush, who under the title, "Corvus
the Crow" tells in the magazine Of
the American Forestry Association
some of the good points of the I'M
popular Mr.. Grow.
The crow has his uses. He destroys
many a pest, including the destructive
gypsy moth, and he also destroys mice,
the enemies of song birds, He eats
white grubs and cutworms. While it
is well to shoot crows, says the writer,
when they are doing injury to ones
property, 1t is quite possible to overdo
the shooting, even under those circum-
stances.
The owner of a large sheep farm
found that crows We're killing his
young lambs, first peclling out their
eyes and then eating more or less Of
their carcasses When he had lost
about two hundred lambs, he offered
a bounty of 80 cents a head on crows.
although this was againste the advice
of Mr.. Forbush. As a result, the crows
We're almost eXtirpatcd from that i'm
mediate region Within a space of
three years, the owner of the sheep
farm found that the grass in his pas
lures was dead, destroyed at the roots
by white grubs, which had multiplied
and fiourished since the violent re-
moval of their crow enemies.
1t is pointed out that possibly some
Of the dead lambs on which the crows
had been feeding in the past were al
ready dead before the crows tackled
them. as they may have succumbed to
disease, and both lambs and pastures
might have been saved if watch had
been set to kill the few culprits.
similar sequence Of events oc-
CURED in the New England colonies,
when In the fourth decade OF the
eighteenth century, laws were en-
acted for the destruction of crows
and blackbirds Heads of the birds
We're accepted in lieu Of taxes in some
towns. Others paid a bounty on the
heads. In Truro. on Cape Cod. every
married man was required to Kill a
certain number Of them yearly, and
before Il single man could legally get
married he must have turned in his
quota Of heads The birds were finally
almost exterminated. and in 1749
grubs. cutworms and grasshoppers
practically destroyed the grass crop.
The Middle States and New England
had to come to the rescue with hay to
carry the cattle through the winter.
While It is possible TO have too many
crows therefore. It is pointed out
that II is also plain that It IS posi-
bic to have too few. The crow ac-
counts for a tremendous number Of
grubs and grasshoppers in the course
Of the season.

ogist has found the crow to be a

JOKE ON TWAIN
IS YEARS OLD
By United Nefca

By United Netos
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Mark Twain
always enjoyed a good joke. 1t Is
twelve years too late for him to en-
| joy this one on Mark Twain.
Back in 1906, Albert ,Bigelow Paine,
| his friend, compelled the great A1nerf-
can humorist to sit down and sign
beth his names on 1924 sheets OF the
finest book paper thus: "SamI Glenn
ens-Mark Twain"
These sheets were for hy-leaves OF
an all-embracing, autographed edition
of Mark Twain restricted to 1924
copies, which Harper's, the book pub
fishers, We're about to bring out. Some
thing delayed matters and the sheets
were sealed in a metal container and
I filed away.
| When Mark Twain died at Redding.
Conn, on April 81, 1910, the idea was
revived but then Harper's couldn't
| find the autographs.
| Cleaners, roofing behind an old safe
which hadn't been budged for many
years, recently hooked out the metal
/ casket.
Gabriel Wells, a Fifth Ave. book
seller, took over the leaves and the
work Of producing the edition, by ar
rangement with Harper's and the
| Pumpton Press of Norwood, Mass.
There are thirty-five books in eaoh
| of the 1924 sets and the sets havn
| been selling at the rate Of $3.50
| book They ars almost all gone. On
jan / the price will advance s55 8
set, and as the edition runs closer to
exhaustion the rate will go up to SO
book There are introduct1ons by
Z. v. Lucas, Booth Harrington, Mers
dith Nicholson, Gilbert K. ChesteTtons
| William Dean Howells. Hugh Walpols.
| William McPhee of the black gang
Hanlin, Garland and Brander Maths
| ews.
The joke on Mark Twain is thaS
he wrote all those signatures for MOTH
ing. The edition is bound to realize
a gross of more than quarter OF =
million, which is a record. Mark
Twain's daughter, Clara Gabrilowitch,
the concert singer, wife Of the famous
pianist, is the principal heir of Glenn
ems. The bulk of the authors royal
tles will go to her.

Intrinsic Value of womas,

Down in Mississippi in uttls
plantation town times were very hard.
The cotton crop had failed and nearly
every one was greatly in need OF
ready cash. Not long ago ths owneH
of one of the plantations In the We

find there young negro named JIM
one of the tenants on the place.
"CunI Bob" said Jim, de mex time

me marriage license. All wants to
marry Liza"
Colonel Bob promised to DO SO, bus
told Jim that it would cost him 81
which, after search through his pocks
cts, Jim managed to produce.
A few days later Jim's license was
sent to him and nothing more was
heard of the matter for about two
weeks, when Colonel Bob was again
called to the door to see Jim.
Cunt Bob said Jim, "Ah's des
ctded All don't want to marry Liza
All wants to marry Begonia instid,
Can't you scratch out Liza's mans on
de license an write in Begonia' ST.
Colonel Bob informed Jim that thia
could not be done, and that II ha
wanted to marry Begonia, he would
have to secure a new license at y
cost Of another 50. Jim appeared
much orestfallen and went away
shaking his head. Some time afteS
this, while riding through his fields 4

were allowed to run at large abous

common clans, razor CLAIMS and

habitants, either white or red, and q
patient clam digging squaw might be
seen with a large black crow perched
on the highest point Of her rear ele-
vation." the crow as usual being on
the lookout for his dinner, which he
hoped to gain by the toll of another.
Crows are wise in other directions
also, and they are clannish and help
each other. The case is recounted OF
a crow which fell into the Merriman
River. With plumage soaked he was
carried along IN the chilling flood
when his cries brought a flock Of.
crows overhead.
Suddenly one tapped down to the
surface, seized the drowning comrade
and laboriously bore him a short dis
lance toward the shore. AS the
strength of the first rescuer failed
the soggy bird was rehnquished to an
other, and so one after another seized
and carried Iandward their unfortu-
nate comrade until he reached the
shore. There he spread out his
soaked pinions~ in a sunny spot and
dried them, when all flew happily
away to the woods. The well
known propensity of the crow to
come to the aid of a stricken comrads
seems to be recognized by eagles.
hawks and owls, and so active, health
ly crows rarely are attacked, even by
owls, except at night, when sight
seems to fail them and they cannot
combine in defense.
While the many depredations OF
the crow are bruited about. it's bene-
factions to the human race generally
pass unnoticed, says the ornithologtst-
1T is a militant slayer of many Of
the worst insect pests known to man.
Locusts, graSShoppers, potato beetles,
weevils, caterpillars, army worms,
cutworms, white grubs and many
other first-class pests are destroyed
in myriads by the crow. He spends
far more time in this beneficial work
than in ali his injurious activities put
together. Crows in normal numbers
are benefit to the land, but when too
abundant their injurious habits null
tiply. 1t behooves US not TO -xter-l
inmate sthe crow but to see that itss
numbers do not unduly increase"
SAYS the .ornithologist.
